Hell yeah, MAGICAL BOYS! <3

The transformation sequences were awesome. They remind me of 90s Sailor Moon transformation sequences, and their colors match the Sailor Senshi too. When the enemy returned to his normal form, the pose was very similar to all the monsters of the day in Sailor Moon.

Lol @ the "needless exposure" comment and the random attack names. LOVE MAKING

Man why are people taking this show so seriously? It's a comedy and a parody of mahou shoujo directed by Shinji Takamatsu, director of Gintama and Nichibros which are both considered to be some of the best comedies in anime. This is absolutely not a series you should go into with a serious mindset.

That said; it was a great first episode, dialogue between characters is pretty fun and things really picked up at the transformation sequence. Usually Takamatsu shows take a few episodes before things really start to get good, so I'm expecting pretty hilarious stuff down the line.

Because girlsh = bad, right! smfh @ ppl like this.

It was funny, as expected seeing it's by the same guy who did Nichibros. idk why you would watch this if you're not into this stuff in the first place. Description says what it is right on the tin.

Lol omg those names for their moves. "Something-or-other storm," "random splash," "I am awesome fire," someone help me, I'm dying from laughter XD And funny how they were talking about oden since I just had it a few days ago. No chikuwabu though, didn't even know what that was until this happened. Mochi kinchaku is my favorite though. My comedy of the season ^^ The transformation sequence can't beat Apollon's from Kamigami no Asobi though :P

The transformations and attack names were the best part of this, which means this show's got me sold, at least for now.

i wasn't expecting so much humor/parody but boy am i glad they decided to go that route. i figured it would be similar to bakumatsu rock's lameness but enjoyed this ten times more than i was expecting. glad i didn't have standards for it but found myself laughing lots while watching. i think i'll enjoy this series very much!

Even for a parody and slapstick some of its jokes are still poorly written, the basic of setting up, develop and payoff seems lost in the creator's mind, even Michiko Yokote doesn't help, it's just throwing shit at the wall and hope it stick. I appreciate it took the time to develop the kaijin but the payoff is just really weak, shouldn't Yufuin be the one to give the finishing speech to the kaijin since he is the one so passion about Kantoni, not Yumoto? I know it's like a leader thing but the whole episode is he constantly talking and referencing Kantoni (even the show starts with him bitching about chikuwa!) and the only character trait of Yumoto we've seen so far is that he likes bears. At least pay attention to what characters you have and make the best out of them, Sabagebu! also has characters that are just cardboard cutouts but that work really well because they have clearly defined traits and their actions always fit in the situation they are in. A bad first episode.

Wow i was seriously expecting this to be way worse
I basically only checked out the ep to see how far I could make it before I had to quit but this was pretty damn funny
Not exactly a fall of the chair funny but still amusing and most of all the sheer "oh god nooooooo" feeling I got from the transformations was awesome
It's so absurd i wanna see where it's gonna go
Hopefully they'll stick to the parody kinda theme though

That was funny. I love the underreaction, the randomness, and the tsukkomi. Started off with a SoL feeling too.

I like En's transformation, hahaha. Also, it's great that it doesn't take itself seriously even remotely. The guys just completely go with the flow! It was so ridiculous I can't help but laugh. The random attack names, the amusement of having super third-rate idol powers, it's all great. XD

And looks like we already have the enemy student council appearing! I like the military style uniform they have. :D

(Also, looks like the series cast new seiyuu, so I'm looking forward to their future roles. ^^)

Dude.. the plot literally just started.

Like, you can have your opinions on the art and budget and comedy, but there is literally nothing that has even happened in the plot to make it all over the place. All we know is some wombat thing needs their help saving the world and the student council kids are evil. I mean I'm not expecting some grand-tier shit plotwise but you're really reaching for straws there.
