| Wow I'll be staying away from the forums on this one. It's such a waste of time to comb through the bullshit to read decent posts. Erika is my favorite character. Always had a thing for them cute tomboys. I like what I've seen so far. Check back at ep 26. Enjoy. |
| It's kinda sad how people argue over pointless things. I thought the point of watching anime was to enjoy it? People talking about how it's trash because it's not animated the way you wanted or that the voices are off/other nitpickings really should find something better to do. A show isn't going to be perfect for everybody, so take it for what it is: is the show interesting? Is it entertaining? Stop filling this thread with your bullshit preferences and then saying that the show sucks when its only the first episode. /endrant |

SodaPop65 said: Have you seen the ANN reviews for it? 1/5, 1/5, 2/5. Sickening. Then they have a little circlejerk on the forums about how bad they thought it was, and anyone else questioning why gets shot down. Heh. I like your spirited defense of the show - but I can only suggest: Don't take ANN to heart. It's been the trashbin of the anime community, so why are you now expecting to find gold there? It's really simple. This is the first third of the first volume of a 2-book Light Novel arc. Whoever pretends to be able to extrapolate plot or character depth for the entire show automatically disqualifies themselves from any rational debate. They are not really discussing the show - they are trying to sound smart and funny to the hater club. This kind of "feedback" tells more about the writers than about the show they pretend to review. Quite similar to several posts in this forum, by the way. I'm chuckling whenever someone mutters about "gary-stu anime, dropped" - because in this episode Tatsuya is getting clobbered by his sensei and pushed into the weed class. How could this be Gary Stu? It's a clear sign that someone has read some silly pseudo-summary from his circles and tries to be cool by regurgitating it, not even realizing how stupid it is. Well, I don't mind. Once the real droppers are gone, the air will clean a bit, and then we'll only have to contend with the trolls, who pretended to drop it, but then miraculously stay ;) |
| Dat song right at the end yoooooo. |
 |
| The main siblings are both incredibly dull and uncomfortably creepy. What an achievement. Also meganekko, rly, you knew they were siblings by their "auras"? They have the same fucking surname, any moron could tell they were siblings omg. This show isn't great so far. It's just... ok. At a push. I'm hoping it'll really pull its finger out, but I'm not hopeful. Really, all I'm waiting for now is that Juumonji guy from the shorts. If he's not as cute as he was there then I doubt this show'll be worth it. |
| I enjoyed the first episode and look forward to the rest. |
 |
| This was incredibly boring. Where's the hook? Even Sword Art Online hooked you in the first episode. |
Mormegil said: This was incredibly boring. Where's the hook? Even Sword Art Online hooked you in the first episode. Yeah these were my thoughts. I will give it a couple more episodes though. Maybe this was just a bad first impression. |
 |
| I liked this first episode. Seemed to set everything up nicely and the pacing was good as well. Miyuki is pretty funny with all that -sama crap. Good opener. |

Clap. Clap. Not that this episode was good. This is the dull part of the series. If you just look at this episode alone, it was rather boring and generic. Once they start expanding more on the theory of magic it will be better. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
ResidentANM said: I don't like Miyuki's character so far... Agree to this. She's cute though. |
 |
| OMG Dat Wincest! Anime of the year ^^v |
| I keep hearing Kyosuke ad Ayase. I blame that onii-sama. |
| Lots of moe in this episode but Tatsuya is a baddass MC. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Classic internet community right here. I'll try not to frequent the forums until things settle down a bit. Maybe halfway through the series when people have mostly decided to watch or drop it w/ conviction (and hopefully good reasons). I'm not hyping the series up since it's really a niche series. Either you love it to death or avoid it like the plague. I can already declare that those who dislike SAO w/ a passion are going to heap on lots of hate on this series. Regardless of it being unfounded or not. Anyway, hope you enjoy yourselves guys and gals. Whatever it is that you'll enjoy the most (the show, trolling, being vocal and opinionated, intellectual discourse etc.) I hope you guys have a blast. As for me, I'll just hide in a bunker until all the flak dies down. So long folks. |
| 1. Oreimo cast + incest detected. Shiba is very interesting. Such a deep thinker 2. Love the dark/intense vibe w/ the OST. What a mystical feeling 3. The fight scenes w/ the teacher really sold me 4. Miyuki x tatsuya relationship is very alluring. Wouldn't mind if it goes past platonic. 5. It's already ranked #414 on MAL and it's just the first ep. Very impressed 9/10 |
| Solid first episode. Nice animation. Madhouse has done an excellent Job. First episodes will be a bit boring to newcomers as they are sticking pretty close to the light novels and the first volumes are there to build upon the characters and setting. However once this series gets going it will come at you like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sXlaBa75Iw. |

SodaPop65 said: I understand people comparing it to SAO since they're both web novels, but honestly, the similarities end there. That's like comparing The Tower of God to Girl the Wild's since they're both webtoons. Yea sure they're both webtoons, but different genres, approaches, different quality writing... (CoughGirltheWild'sFIND A NEW PLOTCough) No, no. You misunderstand. I'm not saying the two are similar in any way. It's just that the trend nowadays is that when a series is this hyped up it'll get bashed by haters regardless of whether they have an acceptable basis or not. It's just that reading through all of those will probably tire out my weary mind even more than now (and I'm stressed enough w/ work as it is). I'll just avoid the forums until people can have a proper base to hold an argument on whether they like or dislike the show. W/c is to say probably halfway through the series or a little bit into the end after most of the story elements have been presented. I'm an LN reader as well and I'm trying to keep a low profile since I've been shot down for spoiling too much in other threads. A word of advice for all the fans: Don't let all the hate get to you. It's normal. We all have different tastes. As long as we don't provoke volatile responses the trolling (hopefully interlaced w/ some well thought out opinions) should taper down somewhat. In the end we like what we like and they hate what they hate. Let's just agree to disagree and not give in to juvenile provocation. I welcome discussions that are well founded though. It's interesting and really informative. Kinda like when someone points out faults about you that you don't notice yourself. |
| Really like the opening episode and interesting story. Not sure how genuine this brother and sister complex is but will look forward to how it will develop. |

| There are some slight differences from the manga but nothing big I love the animation when they use magic |
| Wait. This series is about incest? Anyway, nice first episode. I like it. |
 |
| Great first ep. Expecting some serious entertainment from this show. BTW, anyone else got Chrome Shelled Regios vibes from this episode? Because I sure as hell did. First impressions and a short foray to the manga tells me Tatsuya is a colder, less modest incarnation of Layfon who happens to be a siscon. |
| - My creativity is plummeting. - |
| That fighting scene!! It'll be great if they can keep it up. Quite a promising start so far. It's massively hyped but it's too early to tell if it deserves it. I'll keep watching it even just for Saori Hayami. Her voice is so Godly she can sing me a lullaby consisting of solely curse words and I'll still sleep soundly and have a wet dream. She's really at her best here as Miyuki. PS: This might be an incest that I don't mind. |
 |
| Hell ya! An anime with some brother sister action! Hopefully that progresses into a yosuga no sora relationship. Now that that's covered. This anime seems like the most promising for this season. |
| This series has so much hype, after watching the first episode it really does hint great action and a very OP/mysterious main character. Although it gives off such an awkward vibe throughout the episode with the Bro-Sis dialogues, It's probably because of the characters' (specially the brother) cold first impressions, well maybe it's just natural being that it's still just the first episode. But overall great first episode, can't wait for the next one. Expecting lots from this series since it's LN and manga are really popular. |

| Are they really siblings? |
| Edgy/Alpha/Badass/Onii-sama MC. All what I needed for my sexism. It seems good, I haven't read the LN but I wasn't that interested at first, I just hope it doesn't turn out with a lot of magical cliché. If it stays at this level I might even appreciate it. Anyway, to LN readers, there is some incest going-on here or it's a just unrequited love/gag? Don't mind little spoilers. -Edit- Nvm, saw the comments. Oh btw, I had Chrome Shelled Regios vibes from this too. |

| Just finished the 1st ep and it was quite good, love the magic animation and the vibe and bgm when it gets into their "there's only 2 of us in this world" scene. Though the char design for Miyuki & Mayumi looks a little bit childish compared to the manga imo. Also, Kana's voice doesn't sound like her usual signature voice/style in this. |
SodaPop65 said: That good? I mean, CSR had its flaws, but it was still a good watch, and light novel was surprisingly enjoyable. So when you put it like this, I'm really upping my expectations. Hope i won't be disappointed. Maybe I should check out the LN?Deiger1111 said: Great first ep. Expecting some serious entertainment from this show.

CSR :/ I was so happy for the first few episodes of it, then, well, the rest happened hah. A lot of people are speculating that Tatsuya is a hidden OP character, and the anime heavily hints at it too. All I can say is my first time reading the LNs I got that same vibe too, and I was surprised again and again and again and again. It really knows how to keep you surprised with character developments. (Instead of shonen TRAIN-> NEW SKILL->WIN->REPEAT) |
| - My creativity is plummeting. - |
| I really enjoyed this. I was expecting the older brother to be useless and the sister to be a high and mighty tsundere so them not being that has made me glad so far. It has a slight incest feel but if what the people who have been reading the novels say, than it's nothing to worry about. female sensei best girl with those mugi-like eyebrows |
