feels like i've watched this 100 times already, no originality what so ever. It's not a bad anime, it's ok at what it does but it's nothing new.

...this episode was terrible. i literally had to pause multiple times to do other things before coming back and finishing the episode. the characters are so oblivious and the dialogue just felt dead. i cant believe they decided to play the misunderstanding card numerous of times in one episode and that roommate/brother/whatever is beyond reasoning. sad to say i had high hopes for this anime. i thought the character designs/plot would make it a decent show. and i enjoy the fan service here and there but ugh the characters... jesus.. i dont know, i think im done.

It wasn't great but it wasn't terrible either. I feel that things are a bit too fast paced though. Mui is adorable.

I'll keep watching next week.

Honestly the family quarrelling was horribly done here. I hope there's some other reason why the brother hates Takeshi, otherwise this is going to make it hard to watch. If not at the very least their interactions on the show. Other than this I liked the episode and where everything else was going.

Um, he pushed him into a car accident.
Even if it was some outside force, I sure as hell wouldn't believe it after something like that.

He got mad at his brother for dating someone. He goes storming off while Takeshi chases after him then boom hit by a car. This is the whole reason they're at odds with one another? I'm sorry if I missed something but that's what I saw. Again this was terribly done.

Okay so Takeshi's brother is mad at him because he's dating Kurumi. That was two years ago. Now he's even faking to his mom about making up with his brother so he can (possibly) join him wherever he is. Cut to scene where he's all "I'm evil, I'll get my revenge." That's just stupid >___<

Something annoys me about Mui. I can't quite put my finger on it but it's just that every time she's onscreen I just can't help but cringe.

This series is so incredibly bad it's hilarious and I'm gonna continue to follow it. Art-wise, it's a huge improvement from the inconsistencies last week, but character interaction-wise this series is absolutely shallow. There's not even much of a debate about it. From first episode of being cold, Mui went from dere to full on in love in two episodes with minimal setup. The false romance drama. Please. I lol.

aaaaand dropped.

What stupid reasons for the quarrel with Gekkou or whatever his name was.
Apparently Takeshi is one asexual entity or something pretty unrealistic for him not to develop feelings for Kurumi. And why does Mui even like him? She just met him...oh wait they "kissed" so they pretty much have to get married now right? Went a bit overboard with the fanservice in that EP aswell....

(hmm I didn't want to hate on this so much but I guess thats because I kinda hoped it was going to be good :X)

I liked that series in the beginning but that episode pretty much was the nail in the coffin for me.

This! Forced drama everywhere...

Tbh I don't know what to think while watching this episode. What I do know is I hate MCs like Takeshi who has very little personality and emotion. Mui might be the main heroine but she's just so boring and obviously much less attractive compared to Isoshima.

So far Kurumi annoys me... She is being very selfish towards Takeshi. I get that she loves him... Blah blah blah but she needs to respect his feelings.

I look forward to more of the Mui vs. traitor brother storyline.


both doesn't really have strong appeal, but i'm not a kurumi girl. Didn't like using the pretending relationship in a way to get the guy you like to become your future real boyfriend.

I'm disappointed about the past between the brothers I was kind of hoping for a darker reason they hate each other. At the end of it I just had this feeling of "that's it?". I don't like how it was handled. What your dating the girl I like????? run away angry BOOM hit by car.

umm wouldn't you be angry if u basically got pushed into a car even by accident? like that kinda hurts?
What im disappointed about for this anime is the face that it is 3 episodes in and im still like who the hell is the blond kid with the destruction magic. Hasn't done anything and his name was like said in episode 1? like once.

Okay, this was an episode with multiple faults, but several positives as well:

Pros:

LOL the witch girl who does the previews.
Mui's adorable as usual.
Kurumi looks cute in the picture she gave to Takeshi.
More information on the magic communities.
Character development, albeit not amazing but it explains the backstories of Takeshi and Kurumi.
Lolita complex, lol.
Boob conversation was best conversation of this episode. That was some nice fanservice there. Never noticed Mui's breasts were that large... Mui's fantasy of Takeshi offering to massage her breasts to make them bigger was hilarious / cute.

Cons:

Okay what the hell was that backstory of Kurumi's. She should just take self-defense lessons instead of asking for a fake relationship with Takeshi to protect her from boys. Plus, trying to get him to fall in love with her and be her real boyfriend by making him act as her fake boyfriend is a horrible way to go about that.

Gekkou has an absolutely idiotic reason to hate Takeshi. "Girl I like likes my brother and I got hit by a car because of my own carelessness due to anger from finding this out, now I will kill him and become one of the antagonists of this series" Seriously?

The blonde guy who causes explosions has no part in this story whatsoever, so far at least.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now this series is basically something to watch for enjoyment, but I hope they get into the actual plot starting with the next episode and the return of Mui's brother. Him vs Takeshi will be fun to watch based on how the action scenes have been handled so far, and we'll finally get to see some real magic battles. Also, the OP/ED (especially the ED) are so addicting!

On one final note... Takeshi x Mui! <3

I just keep wondering when did this anime turn into another love drama?
Wanted to see some magic and action, but apparently it's not gonna happen here. Animation is quite poor as well, so 1-2 more episodes and i will be giving up on it, i guess.

There's a bit of a problem with the flow, Some scenes do not connect properly and feel a bit too choppy.

What's with the huge amounts of romance and triangular relationships so early in the series? Feels a bit too abrupt. In fact, it almost feels too cliched.

It would be much better if they had kept the tension up instead of all the weird crap.

Btw, does anyone feel like this series has a bit of similarity to Harry Potter?

So the hatred between the MC and his family is based on some coincidences, loli suddenly grew a pair of tits and transformation magic apparantly changes the user into a fanservice outfit but does nothing else.

Even Isoshima fanservice can't make up for how bad this is.^^

exactly what i feel. i had some expectations but i don't know already 3 eps and we are still in the "learning" part of the story i think it's going to be somewhat rushed, will keep watching though

I never drop a series once I start watching. If I can watch Diabolic lovers I can certainly live through this. Hopefully since everything was forced so early maybe it'll smooth out through the rest of the series.

It's alright to get their development out of the way first, But... You also need to present in in a decent fashion, which they hardly did.
