Well that was what I kinda expected..they pretty much introduced all the main characters.

As far as the premise goes, she got a lot of work to do. I'm talking about Yui btw. OST was pretty typical I guess.

this show is taking the Indiana Jones approach and making every mythology true which doesn't make any sense. how dumb is that. also zeus just summoned (kidnapped) her to be a sex toy for all the lesser gods. typical shojo, can't go one ep without rape in it

LOL @ Apollon's transformation at the beginning. That was already quite different from the original (although they did keep some lines and some songs) and Zeus was definitely out of character. I wonder if that was only to introduce the characters or will continue that way. Especially Yui is so much more... "average". She had a more special feel before. Oh, and Balder's introduction was brilliant (I mean, what else are you going to do with that potential XD). That's how you fall onto a girl lol. And I liked how the creators were being thoughtful when Takeru was about to enter the room. To end the episode here didn't feel right, but the ending song is nice~

Wow female mc has an audible voice? Also, could not take that transformation seriously in the beginning, but it was quite entertaining. Pretty intense intro. The art style for the characters looks nice, except most of them have awful hair so the male characters look ugly instead of attractive...to me. Also, more of those singing EDs :D Sorry, cannot help but laugh.

Typical beginning episode of an otome adaptation but with the added bonus of an excellent action scene and Apollons awesome transformation, Had to rewatch for when he threw off the tie, popped the shirt open, pants flew off and spinning and everything, extremely incredible. I hope everyone else does the same thing.

Reason For is an excellent ed with them singing. Sure its not as much dancing and etc as 14:1 for BroCon or as catchy as Pieces of Treasure from Arcana Famiglia, but it has the best choices of scenes for the Gods in modern day and modern places in great poses.

Also liked the flowers coming up in everyones intro scene, blue = best one.

I have to say, I really liked the soundtrack in this episode - that transformation at the start was hilarious, and then the flying horse (I'd forgotten this was about gods, so that was a very random moment for me). I quite like the female MC, and have no problem with the reverse harem setup, or the obvious fan service for girls. I'm looking forward to the next episode, it seems like it'll be an entertaining story ^_^

The intro is weird but cool in a way. The blond haired guy's transformation kinda made me laugh. I like the girl's VA, not too annoying, just okay. OST has its perks, though not that brilliant.

It's nice to know that the girl knows how to fight and not just some innocent whatever. She actually notices reality, cool!

I like how splendid the background art is. It's not that brilliant but it sure is above average.

Why does that other blond guy with eyes like the blue sea always trip? Wait a minute.. his voice sounds familiar... TOO FAMILIAR. (Hiroshi Kamiya) Oh, no wonder I heard Yato and Araragi.

What the heck is with the exploding candy. I want one.

Shoujo flowers randomly pop out of nowhere. It was great except for dem shoujo flowers. Oh, and dem sparkles too.

The protagonist is actually likable :D

All of my second-hand embarrassment with that magical boy transformation in the opening scene.

I've sat through two seasons of UtaPri's embarrassing dancing so you'd think i'd be prepared for this.

I was not.

What...? I don't think we watched the same show...

But it was pretty good for the first episode! I love who they chose for Yui's voice, personally.

The only thing that makes me to continue this series is the heroine. She's the first heroine in an otome animation that can actually speak,interact with people,has a life and a little personality.
Aside from the dumb plot,the animation and cast are beautiful.

I've seen Diabolik Lovers,nothing can disappoints me anymore.

OH THIS WAS GREAT! AHAHAHAHA! THE MAHOU SHOUNEN KAMI MAGICA SCENE! HAHAHAHA! I thought I was ready for anything after UtaPri and Free!. I. WAS. WRONG.

And le gasp! THE HEROINE ACTUALLY TALKS! She talks back! She actually makes expressions! She actually gets angry! She acts like a normal person! What is this sorcery?

In all seriousness though, Saori Hayami does a great job as Yui and the other gods were great too. Kamiyan. <3 And Miyu Irino. <3 And Hosoyan. And...everyone. xD I am very satisfied with this and I watched this without subs!

Finally, after a long time, a reverse harem anime I can actually watch without cringing!

lol at that magical boy transformation scene
the whole mysterous object in the storage room kinda reminds me of inuyasha
the girl kinda reminds me of natsume from tokyo ravens :3
but i kinda feel like the relationship developments are going a bit fast... or are all the gods womanizers, lol... they just met and already skinship??

Loving the ED song *p*

great first episode! this one's got potential compared to all the other otome game adaptions!
the female protag isnt dumb or airheaded (not that i can see so far)

So boring!
Characters introduction episode, but it was done terribly.
MAL rules like "do not open list threads" should be applicated even to anime.
The characters are all very annoying, there truly are cliches everywhere.
And the main female is soo useless and futile. At che beginning everything recalled of Blood-C, and I was panicking. Yui totally resembles to Saya.
Man, don't know what I'll do with this.

Mahou shounen. LOLOL. I want a series on mahou shounen plz.

BUT YES. THE GIRL. SHE SPEAKS. SHE REACTS. I kind of saw it in the PV, but her first scene with the sword and her interaction with everyone confirms it! Not a dead fish! Though it seems she's unable to resist the bishounen. :P
I like her voice too/ personality. Not extraordinarily wimpy. :D

Not too fond of the character designs... I think they're trying a but hard to be original. I like the girl more than the guys. Ahaha. There will be more laughing than headbashing in this series!

Really this episode..

First I see a boy doing some kind of magical girl transformation (kinda hilarious)
Then meeting the MC, which I quite liked if I had to compare her to the ones of Brother complex and Amnesia.

tbh, I liked it, while I thought that some parts were a bit.. yeahh.. gay..
But still gonna watch^^ hope it turns out well

Wow I actually was positively surprised how much I actually enjoyed this.

This is also the first time I have seen an adaptation of a game I'm not familiar with beforehand.

The art is not the best I've seen, but it's still really pretty and the female mc finally doesn't have a squeaky voice.

Definitely going to stick around with this.

The MC actually has something like a personality...?

This wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, mostly because it was funny in how stupid it was, rather than just bad. Hades sounds like he's going to be the most hilarious of them all, with his stupid angsty emo kid run.

I can hear the fujoshi chanting in the background LOL. It's only the first episode, and the anime already paired up most of the guys...

Apollon is my favourite of the guys so far. ED is very nice. Wish the series looked as cool as the ED... MC is pretty decent and really cute.

Anyway, it was an okay introductory episode. Hope it gets better!

Loved it~ Obviously one shouldn't expect an epic storyline to an adaptation of an otome-ge, but for one such as myself, good artstyle and acceptably interesting characters is satisfying. It started with obvious fan service, and ended it on the same note (with that ending that really um, gets the imagination going).
For now I liked Totsuka (blue) and Hades best, but dojikko Baldr was pretty darn adorable. I really hope they keep going with that kind of quality art and keep it light-hearted, because throwing too much attempt at a dramatic plot could be a disaster.

Ohmygod that transformation sequence APOLLON WHAT ARE YOU DOING. I laughed so hard, hahaha. We'd better get more of those.

It was great to see Loki and Balder (my personal favorites) animated! ;u; I'm really interested to see what parts of the plot they choose to include... I also enjoyed the BGM in the game, so I'm glad they decided to use it in the anime. And Yui is really cute so far, thankfully.

The game was pretty ridiculous, so I have no doubt this will be a fun watch. ;>

I'm not really a big fan of reverse harem series since I'm a guy, it was not bad at all. It was my first time watching a reverse harem. This episode is a bit quite rushed such as introduce all the characters in one episode.

God form transformation!! Miyu-Miyu~~~ So Hayami-san's character does kendo. She has two kendo male friends. Sword that teleports her to another place and became her pendant. Then meeting the gods starting with OnoD's character. Then principle's turn to tell the truth. Miyu-Miyu's character appearing after meeting principle.

LOVE the ED!! Since Morikawa-san's character appeared, too, I cannot wait for KajiKaji's character.

Watched this only for the mahou shounen transformation. It was the most gratifying thing I've ever seen in my life.

The first ep was ok, it could have been better though. I'm just glad the mc has some sort of a backbone. I mean turning down Zeus of all people.. yeesh! 0_0
But ultimately she's still a clueless blushy heroine typical of reverse harems. I hope she gets to put those sword skills to use!

I like Yui's personality. Hayami Saori did a good job on voicing her. ^^

I knew I would love this after the transformation sequence and I wasn't disappointed. The first episode was so much fun, I couldn't stop laughing every time the flowers popped up.

Yui is a really likable heroine so far, I hope that doesn't change later on.

Also, the ED is amazing. I've lost count of how many times I watched it.
