I like the OP/ED and character design. I'm interested enough to keep watching, but so far it's just OK for me.

I find this quite amusing. I expected complete utter shit that I can drop at first episode but I find this better than many other opening episodes (I'm looking at you Punchline and Gunslinger Stratos)

Nya-tan is such an obvious parody of cat girls that I actually find her quite endearing. Miku from Cinderella Girls can learn a thing or two from her.

Plus that MOE POWER! Too bad I think it's the translator taking matters into his own hand instead of actual translation.

About 5 minutes in my first thought was what the Hell am I watching? Then after it was over I found myself wondering why I found this somewhat enjoyable. I'm not really sure what to make of this show yet.

Surprisingly good, I expected bad thing. This anime reminds me "Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!?", the protagonist just buy an house and he found several cute girls with power.
Nyaa-tan is very funny :). Fortunately, the CG during the fight wasn't too ankward.

I'm not so sure about that. The difference between the series and the combat CG is too broad; like water and oil. Depending on how they balance the rest of the events in the series, the combat CG may reduce the score of the series by 2-ranks. (in example; 8 without the Combat CG, but only a 6 with it)

That was GREAT! Exactly as advertised!
Light hearted fun! Cute, innocent and sweet.

Nyaa-tan is adorable, a perfect catgirl!
The whole show is terrific. Every part was fine. Even the "combat" was as good as all those "magic fighting" shows have been for the past 2-3 seasons.

Surprisingly entertaining. Comedy was funny, and the CGI was actually pretty darn good. If you say it's bad, then you obviously haven't seen bad CGI.

I like the idea of the personified Zodiacs. It was silly fun.

I just wish the MC was like Issei, or perhaps even Ayumu from Is This a Zombie.

The CG isn´t better than Show by Rock´s, though. Sure, the fight was kinda interesting, but the frames seemed way slower.

The entire show should've been in CG.

The CG is better. The texturing is better and so is the geometric detail. What you are talking about is animation.

@All
It Is Chuu-Tan's Fault To Make Nyaa-Tan Does Not Become One Of The 12th Chinese Zodiac deities so I Think What Dora-tan said is Wrong. Besides, I Think The Twelth Chinese Zodiac deities MUST Help Nyaa-Tan Defeat Chuu-tan.

Characters are annoying. The fight scene in 3D was probably the best part.

Why's the sheep girl a nurse? Am I missing a cultural reference here or did the designer just throw in a fetish? Lemme know if ya can!

Didn't really like the OP that much but the ED was all right. Cool character designs and the 3D fighting part was nice, but honestly the plot doesn't make any sense yet because they haven't explained ANYTHING. Nya-tan is pretty annoying with her constantly changing characters (her somewhat screeching voice doesn't help either) and them breaking the fourth wall like that ... some funny moments yes, but honestly a bit too much and it seems kind of forced >_< It seems like Takeru gives some sort of "energy" which is "high quality" (whatever that means) to help her fight ...? Eh, IDK OTL. All I know is that he's voiced by the "baka" master hehe (I would recognize his shouting anywhere XD)
Hopefully next episode they'll actually give some more information. I hope we get to see the other zodiac members on screen some more. Pretty funny everyone can only name up to "snake" ... to be honest I would do pretty badly if they asked me that XD

That chibi CG fight scenes. Didn't expect that but I'm liking it nonetheless.

24min ep might've been too long for this, would've preferred maybe 5-10mins. That being said, characters are okay... not fantastic but not annoying.

I can never remember the zodiac in order though. Usually just the first few and the last few.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

I actually thought that the first episode was pretty good actually. I liked the CG action scene in the later part of the episode, felt like watching a cinematic in a game :)

OP was pretty good, ED was ok

I imagined that this television series, could be yet another anime of a few minutes, but I was stunned when I established the opposite. Overall, if I had not read the synopsis before you start the episode, in truth I would not have understood much, since during the whole story we are shown without explaining anything. Very moe characters, but the story is too messed up. For now, I expect to see the next episodes before judging it.

Not bad, but not that great either. I did laugh at a couple of parts (like when Nya-tan got smacked in the face by the dragon). Total gag comedy, although there is a bit of a plot. But mostly moe animal girls

Oh the moe industry rise again.
That's something different.. very cute.
It's either you like or hate the CGI.. I find it quite okay.
Those cliche lines during the battle though. *facepalm*
That neko sure can be annoying alright.
Btw the OP and ED songs are nice. :D

Well that was.... an adventure.
Reminds me a little of Acchi Kocchi for some reason. Maybe the art and character design? The voices? The fast paced banter?

Who knows. but its funny enough to keep watching!

Can't believe I put off watching this show for so long.. Finally got to it and I gotta say, it's awesome! The CGI looks fine for me, don't know why people hate it so much even when it's not bad. If it's because it looked out of place, it could be excused by saying that they are battling in a different dimension.
