Ugh, not my kind of show. I did like the first episode quite a bit, but this was too different.
Talking turtles, transforming mahou shoujos. No thanks.

Dropped.

I didn't think that it would be a magical girl anime...
Although somehow they did a good job. I usually hate this kind of stuff.
The talking turtle was kinda funny haha.
The octopus person reminded me of Megurine Luka, Luka is waaay better than that other pink otcopus woman though :D

Even knowing it was going to be a mahou shoujo from the start, it's still disappointing to see this series going this way.

Oh. My. God.
I love it!
This is the campiest piece of mess I've seen in such a long time! The turtle giving commentary. The dialogue, the choppy animation, the transformations, the powers, the purification hug...It's just way too good to be true.

I was so surprised. To think I wasn't even going to watch this.

Well my first impression of this series was horribly wrong... I thought it would be closer to a slice of life in the same vein as ARIA... oh well.

Anyway, this show isn't too bad but the story of the summoned deity is cliched beyond belief... I'll continue watching in hopes of a more character driven show than the cheesy story slapped on.

It slipped in the pit of failure when she transformed. Before that it was a very nice idea, but I can't really understand the need of a transformation.

Also, what's with the first kiss almost stolen thing? Didn't she have a boyfriend?

Well, even if I wasn't expecting it -- despite knowing it was a magical girl show -- it turned out fairly decent. It was fun to watch, anyway. Definitely reminds me of Sailor Moon, which isn't a bad thing by any means. :)

Pretty much all of my thoughts on this. I have and probably always will be a sucker for mahou shoujo genre series so I will continue watching. The director for this series and Aria was the same director for Sailor Moon right? If so, it should be entertaining.

Same here.

Well at least it's got a nice vibe to it and the water effects look good.

Well, once again, the music during the fight sequence made absolutely no sense whatsoever. But waaaaaay beyond that is the turtle saying:
Where the heck did that come from??????? Did I miss that episode? That's just plain Saturday morning sloppiness

Gotta drop it - if they didn't transform I might have stayed a bit longer but combining that and the obvious inattention to the script and the lolicon little sister I can't see any reason to stick.

Hmmm it was average just like the first epsiode, but at least the animation during the fight was very good. On top of that, I don't particularly like magical shojo animes, so I guess next episode will be the ast try for this series, and I'll drop it if it doesn't improve.

She had a boyfriend but I don't think they ever said how long they had been dating or if she ever kissed him.

It wasn't bad, but to cheesy for my taste. O well, at least it was relaxing, and the background music and graphical presentation are still awesome.

I am not blown away by the first two episode. However, considering the director worked on Pretear, Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon R and Princess Tutu, I still have hope for this show.

This episode was just o.k. I liked the way it introduced the whole "magical girl" aspect of the show. It wasn't all like "OMG mindless fighting with loud, annoying music!". It was a bit slow, and some of the dialogue was stupid, like when Kanon said something like "Something shiny came out of his hat and it's floating around!", but it's interesting enough to keep me watching. I just hope it picks up the pace or else I'm dropping it.

I wasn’t expecting this one turns into a magical girl anime, but it seems more relaxing and fun to me. This part didn’t bother me at all since I liked mahou shoujo enough, but I worry if the next episode will have decent story.

Yet it's strangely compelling. I was looking for a good Mahou Shoujo anime so maybe this can fill the gap.

If the Sea Maiden don't team up with the Sky Maiden, darkness will devour all the light in both the sea and the land.. Oh, boy.. ^_^;;



If there weren't ecchi elements in this anime, I would get the feeling that its a scene out of Star Ocean: Second Evolution. When was the last time in which an anime features light fighting darkness? I cannot recall..

*sarcasm* ---> I liked how Matsumoto was the commentator on everything, and Kanon thought this was all a joke to get her to buy something.

I'm on the fence about this anime. I like the music and animation, but the story is bleh. As I said in Episode 1, this anime makes me feel sleepy.

Pretty music~ Didn't expect the mahou shoujo transformations, even if they weren't long and drawn out with their own little magic theme and whatever... Some things still seem kind of inconsistent, but maybe it will get better.

So, when exactly did the turtle teach her? How exactly do they already know how to fight?

I'll keep watching this, but probably for the same reasons as Notedhero mentioned.

Pleasant music, a literal fish-out-of-water, gratuitous amounts of ass, exaggerated comedy, a talking turtle, light vs. darkness, pseudo-tentacles, magical girl transformations, dat fight animation, and I think the mermaid in the ED's story took a knife to the bride.

This is one of the most haphazardly put together shows I've ever seen. I'm not sure how to react to this show anymore.

lol, she hugged the evil lady who then turned into an octopus xD

Pretty good start, I'm liking it so far. I'm a big fan of magical girl anime. I especially like the powers that the priestesses have. Their outfits are also pretty cool, and I hope we see their full transformations! Also, not killing the enemy was super unexpected. Though given Marin's personality I wouldn't be surprised if every enemy was purified over being killed.
