Tohka_Yatogami said: I lol so hard at the ending song. I definitely wasn't expecting that XD Is that really going to be the ED "song?" Hmm, interesting first episode. I haven't read the LN so I don't really know what this is about, but I love the animation and the action scenes were entertaining to watch. I also wasn't expecting Kotori to change personalities like that o_O definitely a surprise. |
| episode was pretty ok (i had zero expectations)..atleast right until shidou was about to get conscious. so its basicly TWGOK with tons of panty shots and lots of action but with less likeable characters ..atleast for me sofar (tho im loving Reine already <3). the music felt really off in the second half tho..the animation is alrite..nothing special but good enough. will keep watching. 3/5 |
| Well Kotori being the commander was unexpected, she gets a total haul of personality when shes commandering,a cool little action scene and now Shido gets the run down of his task in being the next Keima, kind of. I liked the sci-fi aspects of the setting of the story and other than watching the fighting clips and expecting some action i think i will like this one. |
| Haven't read any of the light novels or manga but i like the art and the premise of this seems pretty ok but unoriginal, hopefully it turns into something enjoyable. |
 |
| LOL @ kyouhei being M. loli sister had me hooked right @ the beginning. too much pantsu. so hes gonna have to conquer the spirit? lo wut |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Kotori... maybe it's just me but..................... I already don't like her. And that Tobiichi girl or whatever her name is. But the Spirit girl......... she's someone I'm interested in. Maybe it's one of those stories where the main guy learns about all that stuff and the Spirit is the bad guy and his friends are trying to save humanity but it's actually the other way around. As in the Spirit ins't actually the bad guy. She/they are trying to save the world and the Anti-Spirit people are preventing her/them from doing so. I dunno... I just got that feel... |
| It barely started and i already hate his sister... oh well who cares as long as it looks interesting to draw my attention from her. |

| BTW Kotori won't change. |

| i cant w8 to see more episodes of this!!! |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| It's alright. A great premise though, I can't wait to find out what happens next. |

| I've been waiting for this anime to air for a couple of months now and I'm very much looking forward to how it unravels. The first episode was good for my preference. |
| Felt a little rushed towards the end where they were telling him about what they do, the manga did not seem as rushed. Also I read that the manga was canceled which is too bad because it was good. At least there is a anime though. 5/5 Just what I expected, which is good. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Kotori annoys me. A lot. A LOT. But I do like Shido and his best friend. XDDD Touka seems like a nice person, and Origami seems pretty nice as well. I like Kyouhei or whatever his name was as well. And Reine or whatever. Basically, all the characters except Kotori. |
| Setup seems great and to the point as expected. Awesome first episode. |
| Didn't like the subs and the quality... But it's the pre-air, so alright... But the anime itself is EPIC! |
 |
| lol, what did i just watch xD lookin forward to the rest of this one |
| I have only read the few manga chapters they made so I basically knew what to expect at the beggining. I would like to say that if you are confused, give it one more episode and it should make more sense xD |

| Imo great opening episode, I'm really looking forward to this one, if they can keep it up like this, it will be great. |
 |
| it came out I didn't quite understand but I got it while watching it This seems promising |
 |
| Well talk about a personality flop from the imouto at home vs at work i you could call it that i'd be like umm i don't know you bye! |
| 5/5 Loved it!, Kotori extreme dere and tsun mode, I hope the anime isn't too rush. |

I started to re-read Volume 4 this weekend though. |

| First episode was amazing, good introduction and explanation of the setting. Definitely looking forward to the rest |
| Obviously there is at least one more character to introduce as we haven't seen the third girl in the simulation software (galge) yet. This may have some potential but there seem to be a lot of generic elements to it. At times it almost felt like they were going down a checklist (genki klutzy teacher with cute nickname--Tama-chan--Check!). Anyway I will invoke the Madoka three episode rule and keep watching, but I hope we can get better video quality soon. Edit: After rewatching with a better sub (but alas no better video) I am more impressed. Should be an entertaining watch for a season and who knows, it might surprise me. What a difference an extra 10% of dialogue makes. |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| So.. Umm.. Cute girls appeared out of no where causing devastating spacequakes that kill millions of people and to deal with them is to either kill them or date them..? That made so much sense! :D It's good to hear from Ayana again! Twin-tailed, tsundere, imouto for the win!! ^^ Origami would be perfect if she's any shorter :p |
IceBurnChaos said: This started out all sorts of sideways... I feel the same way. Haven't read the LN's. Probably won't. I watched all of Vividred Operation so I can take this. Holding off on vote. |
| This was much more entertaining than what I thought it would be :) |
 |
| ok..seems llike this was really expected...like the vn and manga are ay too famous, so forme who heard thet this comming out, but this is the first time im actually in contact with the story, i feel weird ... like what? was thiss too fast? and..kidou san really accepts thing fast ...like the loli commander imouto... still, i got this weird feeling that i enjoyed it and will enjoyit more Kyube said: I am still trying to comprehed this episode, but words are failing me.

First episode was great and I can't wait for more. It reminds me a lot of Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai. saving the world with an eroge, sure, its not the first time, lets give this a shot |

| Alright Alright. It was a good episode don't get me wrong at all. I actually really enjoyed it however... The concept is so fucking stupid it literally made me LOL. So long as they don't try to "force" a mature atmosphere I think this series will be great. It just needs to be what it actually is and not something else and I think the series will be fine. |

| I guess I'm the only one who was slightly disappointed... It skipped many starting details and I felt as though the pace was too fast. For those who read the light novel - I did likewise - we understand what is going on. However I believe for those who haven't wven touched the manga or novel may have been slightly confused at parts. I want it to slow down a bit, although the series is only alloted 12 episodes. The art was amazing however! |
| I love the character designs... I hope it gets funny and have some action... |
