| Well I expected it to be more ecchi and more... well fun to be honest. Louse was not as annoying as I thought, but still not a good character by any means. 7/10 |
| The best part about this episode imo was the Guiche/Tabitha/Kirche combination attack. Not much to say otherwise. It was entertaining to watch and the romance was kinda cute even though everything about this anime was pretty typical and hard to get emotionally invested into. I'll give it a solid 7/10. :) Not a fan of Saito, or Louise to a lesser extent. But Kirche made up for it. I thought she was gonna be annoying but she ended up being my favorite. |
| Better than I thought considering all the negative comments I heard about it. Especially Louise was not as bad as I thought she would be. But Guiche was definitely the best character imo. 7/10 |
 |
| Season 1 was fun to watch. Guiche was the best character. |
| This was actually better than I thought it would be. Almost dropped the show early on, because it looked like the show was really medicore and boring. Fortunately that wasn't the case and it was actually a farily nice and fun show. 7/10 |
| Really can't understand the terrible MAL ratings on the main page for this anime, it's incredibly undeserving. It looks like most comments here are people giving high scores, so clearly the main page scores are poor representations of what it's actually worth. We need to score some higher reviews as more helpful to push them up so that people don't get the wrong idea. The plot was good, with some mysteries that slowly became more clear to the viewer as the anime went on. Even if they became obvious by the time they were confirmed, it gives a good feeling to a viewer who gets it. The characters were great, characters that actually had some development which many higher rated anime lack to a huge degree. Music was good and fit the theme of the anime. I enjoyed it a lot. Rie Kugimiya is an amazing seiyuu. Easy 8/10. |
| At the beginning I wasn't sure if I should watch it, but now it was definitely a good decission. A lot of funny scenes, romantic moments, fights compared with some mysterious things. I would say most of the people like "magic", so that with a good plot is perfect. Also the characters were awesome, some typicall things of course but that's okay. Even in this only 13 episodes they grew more to my heart as some other characters in way longer animes. Music was also fitting the whole atmosphere extremely good. Looking forward to see all the other seasons. 8/10 for me :) |
 |
| So 13 episodes of where i hoped to be 14 years old again at least, but then again' i don’t. i have not read any of the manga or what so ever and I’m not going to ether, Cause i feel its not worth it, i don’t read manga unless its something that amazes me. Anyway. Episode it self could have been better. but it quite great. Has its funny parts and good parts but there is parts where im just meh.. As for the whole season it not that bad, Its been quite the strange and "childish" anime.(tbh) might Love this if i where somewhat 14 or something.. But there is a few thing i love, is this Weird humor, WW2 Weapons in a Harry potter world xD Louise and saito is personally a interesting n cute romans n twisted for a couple n some more. But i can’t be to critical and expect too much from a anime made in 2006. Quick review Animation/Art- rather Good tbh for a 06 and cause i have just plain worse 06 animation…but I’m surprised that is this nice. U can see the animation in faces they made it quite well. Landscape background n the details is beautiful, and quite colourful.Would rate it a 8.4/10 Character- Twisted, Stupid, childish (ish) and so on. All classic character base, and sense i have no internet at the time and have all 4 season downloaded. (WHY NOT)I’m bored. But they have interesting characters, But as for the enemies, they are just way to obvious to detect… not so fun.. 7/10 Music- Maybe would Love it! If i where somewhere around 12-14 a japanese child, (okey was to much) No, Music have its sweet touch. and rated i would be a 5.8/10, cause why? cause it feel just to childish.. Story- Well can’t really say much, As from what i have heard from the manga people, it could have been better. but don’t wanna say to much sense i have 3 seasons more to go. But is simply great right now. 7.9/10 Enjoyment n Overall- Had its downsides but overall i enjoyed it, had always funny scenes where i just couldn’t stop laughing. as for the romantic, it not that bad. For enjoyment with the anime i would say a 8.3/10 But in overall I’m gonna say a 7.5/10 (8/10) but that a minimal 8 i most say. Next season. |

| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Guiche and Kirche with that impressive combination of elements ~ . Princess Henrietta leading the army with that outfit !? I love to be her knight ~ . Hence , the legend lives on ~ .. Its a good episode ~ . My first impression , the show was not really one of my taste (its romance primarily) so I'd been skeptical but as soon as the story starts to get a bit interesting , it enraptured me gradually .. and hopefully it will continue for the next seasons . |

| Finally I'm done with season 1. Good anime 8/10 |
| Dont like how Louise just loses control over her entire body when she's using her "void magic", or at least it seems she does as it was the same state as when she was under Wards' spell. Anyhow, was a decent show, had a few laughs and the characters are actually good :) 8/10 |
 |
| I guess no one question how he could pilot the plane in the first place...but whatever. |

HueyLion said: I guess no one question how he could pilot the plane in the first place...but whatever. Pretty sure it's already been explained in the show ... if not it's kinda obvious. Whenever he touches anything he becomes a master in wielding it, the sword, the plane etc. (His mark glows when it happens) |
|
| Well, this anime was surprisingly decent, certainly better than I'd expected. Might give season 2 a try sometime in the future. |
| This show was rather meh overall only good thing were the moments between Louise and Saito. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I enjoyed it quite a bit actually. Not on the same level of greatness as Toradora and Taiga is still my number 1. Louise is quite cute though. 7/10 |

AppoX said: Damn this is so illogical, Rant begin: Why is Albion dedicating a gigantic warship which has firepower the size of an entire division to assault a village with a very insignificant population and no strategic purpose whatsoever? More so - all the important people of Albion are actually on board a lonely ship capturing a meaningless village. As far as it is explained the village served no strategic significance, it aint an area worth taking, there is no industry, no population, no raw materials, no military facilities.... Reward is non existant but the risk for Albion is enormous.... If the ship dies the entire invasion will collapse due to loss of the new 'leader' and most likely Albion itself will be hugely distablized. Of course Tristain has no way of knowing this since I don't think they possess any intel..... so assuming they don't know, WHY THE F*** do they send their entire army to defend a pointless village? And more so, why the F is some idiot girl with no knowledge about war (nor diplomacy or leadership) in command of the entire armed forces of Tristain? She is clearly incapable, too idealistic and stupid.... sending the entire Tristain military just to attack a single ship doing a minor advance is idiotic, They should concentrate on defending more key locations eg military facilities, cities with large population, rivers(a river is a good way to slow down enemy advancement), or just forfeit the coastline of Tristain and 'dig in', in favorable terrain. Albion due to their numerical superiority should be able to occupy that pointless village and at the same time advance in many other places stretching the small amount of Tristain forces very thin ensuring a swift victory mainly due to the obvious incompetence of the enemy supreme commander Princess Henrietta (-,-), Princess Henrietta only knows one tactic - Assemble EVERYTHING, - ATTACK ANYTHING THAT IS ENEMY WITH EVERYTHiNG, she does not know the difference between strategy and tactics either. She may win couple minor victories tactically, but strategically her troops will be mostly dead due to attrition and constant fighting and Albion by not giving Tristain a pointless unnecessary decisive battle (like they did) would simply force the Tristain military to submission in a war of attrition. Also they should be begging Germania and Gallia for intervention the whole time, in previous episode we saw huge diplomatic failings of Tristain.... Allying with a King with no crown who is certainly going to lose a civil war, pissing off Germania and Gallia, they should forfeit the idiot prince Wales and ally the Reconquista faction of Albion, that would ensure the survival and even advancement of Tristain onto the world stage. Damn that stupid village was so pointless, if Albion wanted to occupy somethingg, even the f***ing school would be a better choice strategically. Oh and why at the end award everyone of our cast awards for distinguished service in battle? Only ones to deserve anything is Louise for destroying an airship single-handedly, and Saito for his superweapon which turned the tide. And perhaps Guche for capturing the Albion leader.... And why the F didn't anyone notice throughout all the 13 epsiodes that Louise is at the very least a Square mage? Seriously =,=. Explosion = all four elements. And she explodes everything? She may not control her power but it was very clear that she had the power of all four elements (and later we find out she has 'void' too...) Most of it is more throughly explained and logical in the light novel Bayek said: Shinseiryuu said: Given all the negatives about Louise, I expected this show to be your average anime with some good points that can merit a 6 at most. Yeah I actually only picked this up because of all of the hate that surrounded Louise. I actually liked her, so that's a pleasant surprise on my part. Overall this series was funny and interesting, Louise actually turned out to be one of the biggest pros of this series for me. I feel like many of her tsundere moments were justified and I really don't understand why she's hated more so than every other tsundere out there. Saito was surprisingly good too, glad he wasn't just some generic insert beta male. The story was pretty straightforward but with the bizarrely fun characters it was a good ride. Either a 7/10 or 8/10 for me, will tune in for the sequels in the near future. Yeah love louise and shes highly misunderstood. Shes from a timeline where aristocrats simply stand above peasants whether we agree or not. You can tell by guiche and the others who also act snobby and dont mind the whipping.. yet louise receives the hate. Then theres saito doing dumb stuff and kind of asking for it.. to me it makes it funny as then stuff hsppens otherwise it feels more like a fantasy SoL |
 |
| Well, Season 1 is a wrap! There’s no message, but from episode 5 or 6 on it was quite good entertainment. I’ve come to the conclusion that Louise and Dog have an S&M thing going on and both enjoy their roles. You know; people pay good money for a pretty girl to whip them every so often. Season 2 coming up! |
AppoX said: Yap yap yap I understand. Every thing I know about WWII I learned on Hogan’s Heroes. I too like to casually watch anime to learn all there is to know about military science. Forget studying Caesar and the Battle of Alesia, or Hannibal at Cannae, give me anime over those dead guys any day.Damn this is so illogical, Rant begin: Why is Albion dedicating a gigantic warship which has firepower the size of an entire division to assault a village with a very insignificant population and no strategic purpose whatsoever?

| So in the end Saito wasn't able to return to his homeland and be free of his state being a "familiar" basically a slave or a servant, or in the terms of that world, a Peasant, nice. All this happened because he chose to save the country who in the end didn't even recognized his heroism, mainly because he's a peasant, talk about ungratefulness. He also chose to stay with the girl who is whip-happy and abusive, because he loves her. Well, it's his choice if he wants to stay and sleep on the floor with only hay as a bedding. I thought I was going to like this series's first season, though I don't dislike it, I have mixed feelings about it. Considering the anime was produced in 2006, and things were slightly different back then, I'd give it a fair score of 7/10 with a high of 7.5/10. |

| supremely stupid anime but still mildly enjoyable |
| Pissed off that they didn't give Saito a medal. |
| quite possibly the most rushed episode of anime i've ever seen. the season itself was predictable, heavy handed, a little too cliche. however, i had a hell of a lot of fun watching it and look forward to season 2. maybe the characters saved the show, i can't quite put my finger on it. |
 |
| I've seen many, much better anime since the first time I watched this show but my rating hasn't changed. A solid 8/10. Could have been a 9 if the story wasn't so damn rushed. I would love to see a reboot of this series done properly this time. |
 |
| As questionable as the plot is, was a super satisfying finale. Will probably cringe in the next three seasons when they pretend they have never kissed. |
 |
| Ohh man the mitsubishi A6M ZERO fight scene is da best |
| That was quite the abrupt ending, wasn't it? The comedy was top notch, especially Saito's cheekiness towards Louise and his peers. Louise is a love or hate character, a violent and stubborn tsundere, but also struggles with an inferior complex and constant bullying. I think her character was handled pretty well as a result. The tonal shift into a more serious plot during the latter half of the series wasn't as great as I had hoped for, enjoyed the more slice of life/school aspect far more. 7/10. |
| Holy shit Kirche, way to lose my sympathy! They country is going to war and you say "guess I will go home" with a smile? Anime having characters fly out of place fighter planes will never not be cool. And using a sword while flying a zero is just the coolest thing ever! Still rooting for Siesta. Tabitha and Kirche have minor "room mate" energy. This show despite beeing nearly 2 decades old wasnt bad at all, I think I can see how it spawned the modern isekai wave. I was not expecting to enjoy it so much, onwords to season 2 now! |

| this was a surprisingly fun show despite the writing not being good at all. and i delayed watching this show for a while because i assumed it to be full of "eek pervert" jokes but there wasnt a single one so big props for that  |

| Very forgettable imo. Nothing really grabbed me and I found it extremely cliché. 5/10 probably not going to watch the other seasons. |
