| Good first episode ^^ I kinda like the MC, for some reason xD Since it's a KEY anime, I'm expecting a strong ending to this series ^^ BlackMalice said: Please don't let this be rushed... 13 episodes might not be enough though... Yep. Hopefully, this'll be better than Angel Beats. |
| MC reminds me soooo much of Lelouch. Pretty good start, I'm already liking Tomori and Takajou, but not Yuu that much. |
 |
| I like this anime, plus I already have character/s I hate in this series, the Invisible girl, the dude who has glasses, obviously this 2 will boss him around the entire series... plus I do hope he gets some payback about this Invisible girl beating him up.... karma do comes back right? either it is good or bad... it may not come from him(MC guy), but I hope from another person... |

Next week can't come sooner, holy fuck that preview. |
| I do not know the others, but this new production with brand PA Works, has done really well in terms of designs and sets, and also has interesting characters, as well as being very funny and with an infinite power of moe. Really beautiful the scenery that looked almost real, the work of the animation studio is great, as are excellent animations. Characters varied and not boring. I look forward to the next episode, and only regret that this show lasts only thirteen episodes. Screenplay maybe not up to much good things. |

| I can't possibly be the only one who actually thought that Yuu's ability and evil smile does resembles Lelouch right? |

|
| Seems like this is checking all my "worst case scenario" boxes. Key and PA Works are like water and oil, they don't mix. Get back with KyoAni, Key. |
 |
| This is interesting. Gonna follow this one for sure~! :D By the way, I like the MC and the art, as well. |
  |
| What a terrible MC. Not sure if I like it but I'll continue watching. Visuals are nice as expected. |
| Had an interesting start... until his sister was introduced. What an annoying voice. My ears are still ringing from it. All characters suck. Dropped. |
| It could have been an interesting anime, and for the first part I happened to really enjoy it. But as others have said, everything came crushing down as soon as the second part started. Yuu as a protagonist seemed to bring a breath of fresh air for once in this genre that so desperately need. While sure he's a "dick" but it's definitely something that is not often seen or even just represented in anime to see the MAIN CHARACTER to be selfish and (for some) to be morally "wrong". The anime does not take this route, however, it seems to be just another moralistic self righteous story, as we are introduced in the second part to the new set of characters that are going to make part of most of this slice of life, drama/comedy school life with super powers. (let's see if they get to harem levels) The anime would have been great if it did something different with THIS genre. They could have made Yuu fight against the characters they introduced later and take down the school they sent him to (which is pretty much a prison or an internment camp) or even just fight for himself and refusing to let that slide and reconquer what he worked for earlier. That would have been much more effective and entertaining AND much more original than what we're probably going to get. As it stands now, it's just another show lacking any originality, a Kotoura-san 2.0. |

Cunning bastard and caring for his sister, it only reminds me of one man |
 |
| Good episode. This series have great potential. I hope, that they don't ruin this |
| I don’t know how I feel about this series yet. It wasn’t a bad start, around average I’d say. Typical Key (start with nonsense, perhaps reveal some mystery within the town, add drama later on….) Now, I’m on the fence regarding the MCs. Right now I can’t tell if Yuu is cunning or just plain stupid with lack of sense. As far Nao goes, well I guess right now she is there to be the self-righteous character whose purpose is to stop Yuu from getting out of control and having fun with his powers. Anyway, I’ll keep watching it. I’m a bit intrigue to see how things will play out later on in the series for any of our MCs. |

Which is a problem in this case, because once you start adding drama to these caricatures they call characters it'll feel tacked on / shoehorned like it did in Angel Beats. I guess PA Works just 'can't even' with Key. Another reason I miss KyoAni with Key is that PA Works force feeds you like a baby, there really isn't any room to try to anticipate twists because they treat the viewer like a goldfish. I dunno why Key wants their work to be dumbed down this much. I guess Angel Beats proved there was more money to make that way I guess. 'Babby's first storyboard' |

I'd say he was cunning to a degree...but his stupidity and lack of sense got the better of him - it almost felt a bit forced, IMO. Like, there are many other ways to use those powers to his advantage yet why he heck aim so such a prestigious school, out of all things? Sure he'd pass the tests but then what? How would he even talk to the girl he liked or other people at that school when they started talking about things he didn't have a clue about. Though of course, it was somewhat interesting to see what he'd bring to the table until the 2nd half started and miss self-righteous entered the picture. But hey, on the flip-side, we kind an idea of what to expect from this. Typical Key I suppose - truly yawnworthy. |

Thats what annoys me - the possibilities You can easily see WHOLE show on the concept of him trying to avoid suspicion and cheat and lie to progress - how does he pass off as such a genius? How does he deal with possible competition for possible romance? How does he deal with people suspicious of him or being in his way. I could easily imagine him orchestrating situations straight out of highschool romcom genre(like the whole "save the girl" thing this ep) - except they are faked and set up for him to progress where he wants. I can easily imagine whole 12 episode show of him crossing more and more lines as we learn his backstory and what made him such a person, till he eventually either crosses too many lines or realizes how awful a person he became. There was so much potential in that and it all got destroyed by that bitch coming into the story and turning it into generic slapstick comedy. |

An anime about an high-schooler abusing a superpower to strengthen his ego? NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE. You blew my mind. Thanks to you, I don't even have to watch the rest of the show. It's not like they could do anything else but slapstick comedy with this premise, and we know as a fact that watching mr. edge being edgy for 13 episodes is automatically more entertaining and makes for a better story. It's not like it's your biased af opinion. |

| oh great! i laugh too hard for the first episode! can't wait to see it! |
| 1 episode in and we already have tons of flashbacks and foreshadowing of what is to come. Looks like a Key story to me. |

| Normally I didn't expect anything big from Key, but this episode looks fine. It really gives the same vibe as AB. I wonder how it progresses later on... |
 |
| Maybe the reason why he's using his powers to get good grades is to help out his sister by being successful academically. I mean, he doesn't have parents to support them so it should just come natural to him to support his sibling. |
 |
| If you couldn't stand the imouto here, god help you if Hoshizora no Memoria ever gets adapted. |
 |
| Just read this wasn't the official first episode (Why there wasn't an opening or ending), it's more of a pilot introducing the characters. The second episode is really the "official" first episode |

| Well that's one way to get a girl...xD That poor girl deserves better than him though. I hope by the end of the series he turns into a decent human being. That "answer sheet" though xD And the way that guy was hopping across the water with him xD His little sister sure is optimistic |

| Liking the whole mischievous and faker persona the MC seems to have. Not liking the female cast shown so far since nothing was really shown about them. Once again P.A. Works makes me interested in the whole male cast and none of the female from character design alone. |

| Yes, the MC seems like a dbag in the beginning...but I think that'll change. All I can say is that the first episode was FREAKING DELICIOUS. MORE PLEASE. |

charbchillin said: so how long before we are hit with a feels train? No, please don't mention that yet, how bad luck the mc gets into already enough for the first episode. Lets just enjoy the beautiful art, ost, characters, their interaction, and art and maybe everything for now. Well yeah decent episode imo, the visual just really beautiful, can't wait for next ep. |
| I tried watching this with my simulwatch group (aka irl friends) and all three of them dropped it within the first 10 minutes. It's just that bad. Going straight to the Recycle Bin haha. I found it rather funny, though so I'm gonna keep on watching. |

You just replied this to someone then you attack me for expressing my opinion? hypocrite scumbag. Correction I told you not to make more of what was there and not to imply that dark = good and not dark = not good... there is no attacking your opinion there at all. Don't be so sensitive. Good job on the insults by the way. This is Key/Jun Maeda/P.A. Works... c'mon now get with the program.... extremely character driven stories that hit the emotions... we all know where this is headed I do not know what Key or whoever else you listed are. I simply watch the first episode of anime which looks interesting. I am not obsessive to the point I would attack and defend in the name of anime studios. Except this is like listening to a rapper and complaining about them not being a rock star. It's not being obsessive, is being informed. Jun Meada writes stories full of drama and character hardships, he's never written a story about a character going dark side, so expecting him to is illogical. I don't go to a J.Cole concert and expect him to pick up a guitar and start singing Highway to Hell.... although that might actually be cool Funny how you managed to throw 2 insults out, first calling me a scumbag and next pretending that knowing an author = obsessive. Yet you try to act like you were the one being attacked... please Brand new account, with only 2 posts... seems fishy |

The screen writers barely have anything at all, they're pretty novice at best. Plus when did I say this would be good, I said we know what to expect due to who's working on it, never did I mention good or bad. What I meant is that due to the staff, we already know what type of story it will be. |
