Animes like this with a lot of characters is a problem if they don't make it work. To me, this first episode was a total mess. 18272826 characters, they were puking the story you know? They told but at the same time, they don't. The graphics are good, very "japanese" (not being xenophobic), which is the reason that i'm watching, this "japanese scenery, i like a lot lol. The characters are like, okay, they're weapons so they could look like a boy or a girl and at this point is something good but I think that having a female person there could be good.

To be honest I only started with it because Temari-sensei talks about the game all the time and is a huge fan of Hasebe so I wanted know what sort of character this Hasebe guy is.

I think I can understand now, Hasebe is kind of like Gunter, a funny and enjoyable character (at least from the 1st ep).

I liked it but for some reasons I thought the voices of the characters would be different, maybe its only me. So far it's good but I'm excited to see whats gonna happen next

Not really into the story but I really love the chara design (most of them look like girls) and I'm going to keep watching for that sole reason. It actually will be the first time I do that for this reason...

But I was expecting something totally different. It does feel like the cute spin off of a badass show but it doesn't exist (yet?).

bahhh REMINDS ME OF KANCOLLE!! They even made the gameplay more obvious with Ishikirimaru getting a moderately wounded label LOL

I really like how there's more hinting about the game itself as to when I watched Kantai Collection.
It really feels like I'm watching a similar thing, and I can appreciate their daily lives too!
I never knew Touken Ranbu had a very interesting story about how they're trying to prevent the Abyssals from altering the course of history

I'm totally down for this now that I found out there are swords like Namazuo (and Midare) * w *

i mean, the gameplay is the same as kancolle (minus the marriage system)

only difference is Tourabu actually has historical stories and backstories.

They're human forms of weapons that people used throughout history. Let' admit it... this show is fujoshi fodder. Every single androgynous guy in this is just begging to be mount or be mounted.

Almost every single guy looks like a trap. Oh my, oh my.

The first episode was fun to watch but I have to say... this anime wasn't what I thought it would be. I've never played the game this was based on so I know nothing about this series when I got into it so it surprised me. :p

where are the girls?
not to make couples or for the visual honey, but because, you know, we do exist and we don't need to be paired with men to be there???
i don't mind the fujobait and the feminine looking characters, but idk this feels weird.
