x3mslayer said: But never judge an anime by the first episode... we'll see how it goes first. True... I didn't have any expectations with this at first, but it looks promising. Pacing is as all mentioned, a little too fast. Censoring was bad i guess, hope the ecchi doesn't go overboard. They better have more explanation of school rules, magic implementation and about the war before. Oh and I'll stick around for the blue-haired girl's fundoshi :D |
 |
| Not sure if my expectations for this show were very low, but I ended up enjoying this. My only complain was with the retarded censorship (not nearly as bad as in Qwaser, but stilll pretty bad). |
| Not bad for a first episode but it could be better. |
 |
| I liked the episode. I think it was funny, and the fighting scenes looked very nice too. I think if they stick to that it can turn out to be a good anime. The pantieshots just reminded me of Ikkitousen, but they weren't much exaggerated which was nice. The censorship was kind of dumb though. |
| Nice to hear Sugisaki's voice again :) |
  |
| This probably won't be the best show of this season, but it had some interesting moments and I had fun watching it. Not exactly very innovative, but I have seen far worse things. Might be worth sticking with. Let's see if it will stay interesting or go down the well like most somehow promising shows. One point worth mentioning is the main guy. He seems pretty cool and believable for a change. |
   |
| garbage |
| Environment setting - good character(personality) setting - good Evil lord X Bishop ,this is gonna be interesting.Well i guess the difference between evil and good are just as thin as a paper.....This topic maybe very sensitive religiously. i think his strong denial of becoming a Evil lord will just make him more to become it ^^ The Ed song insert really nice though the song is such quite normal >.< |

| somehow i kinda feel, i have a deja vu where the main lead trying to do a good deed but he end up mistaken by another. Anyway, Pretty good for first episode. I'm looking forward to watch for the next one. |
 |
| I wonder if an uncensored version will be released, I hate it when there's an enormous black patch out of nowhere.. |
 |
| Huh, well, I can't comment on the storyline but, this anime's animation really goes a long way compared to Angel Beats, so I guess watching Angel Beats first was a mistake, and it feels like I'm watching an anime in 1970, but that censorship reminds me too much of Ladies vs Butlers. So, yeah. We'll see in the future episodes. And I realized that Ichiban Ushiro means 'farthest in the back.' huh, maybe my japanese is getting good? lol. |
    |
| I haven't expected this because this seemed to be just a Pantsu Anime but I came to like this because of its comicality. I sympathized with that Nice guy who is to be ”Load of Demon”... |
| Well that was more generic and less lol than I expected/wished for. The pacing and directing was horrid, not to mention the cenzors: blurring tits and adding screenwide black fog are as subtle as a planecrash. With that said it did get better on the way and might be enjoyable in the long run. DeathfireD said: Same hereWasabi said: Huuuhhhh? This episode went way too quick. A lot of the scenes were disjointed and didn't flow well into each other. The plot seems interesting enough but they need to slow down the pacing and start fleshing out some stuff. My thoughts exactly. |
| The harem looks to be assembling a bit too quickly. It's too bad it didn't take itself more seriously, but it was still good. The most enjoyable of the season so far followed by Kaichou wa Maid-sama!. |
| the first episode is okay..but the pacing need to slow down a little^^' |

| seems very promising . I don't mind the ecchi elements but it seems a little fast paced.Will be looking forward for the next ep |
| I actually like that it is fast paced. It's a lot better than having to watch/wait for OVER 9000 episodes. I enjoyed this episode it made me laugh quite a lot (Cleaning Duty ROFL). This kinda reminds of Harry Potter O_o. Anyways, I figured that even if the series goes by fast, it could possibly be an enjoyable one ;D |
 There's my opinion of this ep. I mean honestly, this episode was nothing but fanservice, bad exposition, bad exposition, more bad exposition, really, really bad pacing, and a plot that could have been liveable, but wasn't in the face of all the above issues. I suppose the first rotten apple of the season has shown itself. |

It didnt even have that much fan service...The pacing wasn't bad either, i dunno where people get this from. It....went....how it was supposed too? Is pacing another reason people think they hate a show...im gonna guess it is. Pacing can be really slow, like those billion episode shonens, but i dunno about everything else. The first rotten apple of the season was bakugan, sir. |

I suppose the first rotten apple of the season has shown itself. I thought the first rotten apple was B Gata but I digress. You know, watching it again, I don't think this had that much fanservice. I mean, not saying it didn't have fanservice at all, but it wasn't like, let's say, Ladies versus Butlers. |

Backfirenum001 said: Nothing But fan service? Were we watching the same show? It didnt even have that much fan service... Yes, we were. And the first shot of any significant female character is a fanservice shot, if that tells you anything. Also, I didn't say "Nothing but fanservice", I said "Nothing but *long list of things, the first of which was fanservice". And yes, it did have bad pacing. |

It also cut off half of my message. garfield15 said: Lind_L_Tailor said: I suppose the first rotten apple of the season has shown itself.

| Looks interesting. Hope that this doesn't go downhill. |
| This is a signature. |
| I had no plans on watching this, but had an extra 25 minutes to give it a try. Way better than I had expected it to be. There's just the right amount of fan service, and a fairly interesting story line. To nay sayers: What did you expect this to be, its harem. |
| Not bad. I like the first eposide. It was really funny. |
 |
skyisover said: i wonder what so boring about it? the art? or the character?It was soooo boring.. |
| First episode was pretty great, funny. But its one of those series that I feel like it will start off with a great deal of strength, and lose all momentum, falling into a pit of stereotypical ecchiness by episode 3. |
| I'm surprised at how good this looks! Can't wait to see what happens next. |

|
| I enjoyed this a lot. I really like stories that revolve around magic, and magic academies so this is right up my alley. |
| Even thought I don't care for ecchi and harem theme anime this one is a little better than the previous ones. Still haven't decided which one I'll keep watching, but that one has potential if they don't mess it up. |
| OK, yes the pace was rather quick in this episode. But perhaps they are just rushing all the characters in so they can spend more time on the main story line. As for the amount of fan service? I have seen shows with alot more and they still had a good story to rely on. 1 episode in, I am going to hold of condemning the entire series until I get a few more episodes watched and see how it goes. |
 |
| Not Bad at all :3 I'm going to watch it ~ |

| Well, in all fariness it's not the worst godawful ecchi anime i've ever watched, that award still goes to Dokuro-chan, but godawful ecchi is still godawful ecchi. |
| wtf is with the censors, they literally half erase one of the hattori's boobs, srsly if they are going to censor something, do it right, lets wait for the uncensored to be release :D |
    Sumeragi Kururu - Pledge Queen of Tool Toul To   |
| Definitely enjoyed it. Not sure I'm really at all into the ecchi they've thrown in there (in fact, I know I'm not), but the whimsicality of the narrative seems enough to pull me in for another episode or three. I'm a little worried it might turn out to be a harem, with Hattori being the requisite Naru Narusegawa character. Either way, I'll keep watching for now. |
| "I heard if he touches you, you'll get pregnant!" LOL. Best line ever. I have to say, this spring season is going to be a good one..I love this show already. Awesome first episode. |
