looks like this will be our budget magical girl show of the season at least they have a steam punk look to em.


doubt this will any good but plus one for all the manga references so far hopefully that'd be something to keep me watching

Boring, confusing and almost non-existent plot; and heavily relies on moe in order to try and get some viewers. Art style is not consistent and low quality; and the sudden shift of genre at the end did nothing but to put the last nail on the coffin for me.

However, I appreciated the references and the "save otaku culture" theme but alas, these aren't enough for me to continue watching it.

Okay......


Ok, for real, I scratched my head many times on almost entire episode. The animation and graphic is okay, nothing special, just fair enough, but the story.... is unknown. It just like they just took the chance of adapting it but with lack of idea where to be going. I love cute character, I love cute girl in heroine gear, but this anime has a problem of lack of background. And they introduce too many character on the start, I even forget how many girls are there... 12 maybe ?

They also made reference on another series. The manga they talking about is with no doubt GochiUsa reference. And also Sunoharasou (a LOT of sunohara reference!), my favourite from summer 2018.

I will continue. I want to know where the story will go.
maybe 12 girl in here xD

The first episode doesn't give a lot of info on the show and to be honest it barely gives a glimpse of the main story, but the first episode is usually an introduction to the character and the setting and it does an ok job in introducing the cast, I hope the characters develop and not stay so dull as they are now.

I like the design of the outfits as a whole and I'm looking forward to see them transform.

I really enjoyed the anime and manga reference they put there and I liked most of the jokes and the theme song is pretty good to be honest.

I thought the first episode was rather bland, if okay. Hopefully it gets better, but, not sure at this point.

Not much happened, to be the first episode, but still introduced us to the protagonists and left us in context, which I found interesting, although it hurt to see Akihabara with all its stores closed and a Japan where the otaku culture is dying (something very sad if you ask me).
What I loved is that we had many references, we saw some known mangas or mangas that had anime adaptation last year.
The girls have a design that personally does not bother me, there was a girl who reminded me of Hanekawa from Monogatari series, we have a Russian girl who likes weapons and a girl who finish her sentences as if she were a cat, the rest do not had a lot of time on stage, but that will change in the following episodes. The end of the episode gave us an interesting twist and I think it was worth watching the whole episode, apparently the girls must eliminate a virus that erases the existence of things or the memory of people, well the point is that girls travel to the world of the object that is going to disappear and must eliminate the enemy.
I hope to see how the elimination of the viruses takes place and see the skills of the girls.

Can Otaku Culture even die?

The only way I think it can is if the Internet dies...

Because Otaku Culture is not just Anime and Manga, but it's also Games, Movies, TV shows, Toys and even Candies.

The only way for it to die is if it stopped spreading, basically before Japan opens it's ports and Internet/ TV were invented. (IE: return back to the Wild West style where there's very little Technology)

References & the isekai hopping were somewhat interesting.
Basic art can be ok, but the designs are unusually stilted & off putting. Entire episode about collecting manga volumes by tropey characters is probably the most slow paced boring script ever written, how did the director even allow this to happen...
There are specks of potential with russian girl & Hanekawa, but I've seen Animegataris & not sure I'd want another.

I just had my first Tokyo trip last November so it was kind of a good feel for me watching the anime. But I was really confused so I wished the episode contained some explanation first imo

Akiba without moe is a horror show for some...

The irony is that this 'future' is next to impossible without a very significant time gap. The subculture is very deeply embedded and is growing exponentially in broadened presence and significance.

Funny how much they're trying to pull from GochiUsa tho. And lol, near the end of the ep, tfw it's not nichijou-kei anime lol.

I can't past the 10 minutes. Nothing interesting going on. Guess I'm gonna drop this one. They should put echii stuff early on. That will keep me motivated enough at least to finish one episode

if this anime were a slice of life about a cafe where the staff try to restore the story of Akihabara, I would consider it one of the best anime of the season, 8/10; but, when started that magic things, it fall drastically to 3/10. Dropped.

That explains why tsunderes are still thriving in anime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


I thought the setting would be interesting but the 1st episode was really boring and the girls are a bit annoying specially the fujoshi and nyan nyan girl.

Dropped. I didn't waste 20 minutes with the most cliche cute anime girl tropes only for the totally expected plot twist to tell me I have to wait till next episode to actually see any action. There's withholding information to have an effect and there's wasting the viewer's time.

It had kinda interesting start but are they expecting me to remember all 12 girls right away? The more so, with copy-pasted character archetypes/looks from different animes?

Even that, the plot was actually enjoyable up until the last scene but then wtf mahou shoujou clock thing happened - like why? - and suddenly I don't even know what is the point and how to grasp my mind around that supernatural thing...

I like boobs though, and there are plenty. But I honestly hope the plot gets better as this sudden story shift in the end was just like one big WTF.

sooo wtf is this?

I mean 95% of the episode was just a charming slice of life genre anime and all of the sudden they crammed a magical girl-like element into the show.

I guess I can see why this show has such a low rating, well hopefully it gets better in the next 2 episodes -_-
