I was expecting a little bit more but this was just episode one.

Chaika's back story should be relatively interesting though.
Lets see how far this would go in FAL... There is still hope!

Good enough to earn a second episode, but I do hope they fix that poor girls speech impediment. I know that it will tie into the background of the story (and why she is carrying a coffin that undoubtedly that hand will be going into), but two, maybe three episodes top before it becomes extremely annoying.

But for now on to next week .

The manga was somewhat interesting but this was just boring and rushed, can't see much good come out of this anime.
Well i guess i will watch next week for passing judgement but for now it doesn't seem very appealing.

That was pretty bad for a first episode. The OP and ED are equally as bad. Though, I'm still intrigued. That 'magician' girl is annoying in all ways though. Not going to drop this just yet, but if it doesn't improve that will happen.

Why so much empathize on the eyebrows of each character?

Chaika is an airhead and quite a dimwit.She can't seem to say anything but one word lines.

Tooru is suppose to be 20 and looks like a 13 year old.

That gun packs quite the kick.

Akari=Annoying sister great...

She's dead,well why did you think she was carrying a coffin for?

So this is going to be what Noragami was to Space Dandy last season.Glad Bones decided to put more effort in Captain Earth instead of this.

Chaika's character design was alright. Her cannon shot skills was good.

That Unicorn vs Toru action scene was decent.

Too many people and the hate with chaika's speech patterns. I was fine with it since in my mind it was the cute anime version of yoda. That sniper rifle was cool as shit. "shocking truth"

Wow so many people hate chaika's speech, think about it she is a TRAVELER FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY/CONTINENT so that is why she is not that fluent with her speech. ITS NOT BECAUSE SHE IS AN IDIOT

And Akari is awesome just as I thought

Fuck me. why do they put a stupid hairstyle on one of the main characters. It seems alright nothing special though. Another show with a little girl x big gun. Her speech isn't even that bad, it's interesting how she gets her points across, it's better than some pompous princess.

well when you put it like that how can one really hate her ya know. i'm gonna remember this every time i watch it from now on lol

I didn't really have a problem with her way of talking, one can follow along with what she's saying so it's all good. I'm just curious why it's like that, if it's really cuz she's from another place or if something in the past is preventing her from speaking properly. We don't even know how or why she's alive yet, so we will see. Overall, this was entertaining. I'm liking the fight scenes so far. Other than that, there isn't much to say.

Man, are people so shallow with animation? Compared to some decent animation, this was above average in my book.

Also, why are people so sensitive about Chaika's speech pattern? I think it's rather clear that she's a foreigner.

Overall the first episode has been better than others from this season. It was handled far better than Black Bullet's first episode.

Woot! xD What a thrill ride. xD
Anyways, first episode was pretty awesome! xD
That action scene with the "Unicorn" was sweet! I didn't expect the "Unicorn" to be sliced in half by a....Gundo? owo
That was surprising, plus, the next episode looks cool as well! :3

Pretty cool action anime, I hope it becomes awesome! xD

Nice artstyle and really good animation. Especially the unicorn being cut in half.
Interesting eyelash design, trying to be unique.
I liked the first half more than the second. The explanation for everything went by kind of fast.

This could turn out to be a good or bad series. Chaika's fragmented dialogues? Not a problem. Bushy eyebrows? Didn't notice them at all.
Just going to throw this one out there but Akari kind of looks like Akali from League of Legends.

Alright for some reason this made me think of the Valkyrie chronicles games .

Anyway there's gonna be some problems with me and this show if this girl is gonna keep talking like a freaking alien throughout the whole damn thing , I can't speak japanese so I use subs for a reason and she's just saying junk like "Crystal. Need get. Power."

I see myself dropping this around episode 3 but its not that bad the animation was easy on the eyes but that alien speaking ass girl gets to me.

Not really appealing for me, this first episode. Anyway, I have to applaud the composer who did those strings-works pretty good. The character design is fine, I like the eyelash design. The hairstyle of the MC though, lol.

I had no problems for the execution, maybe only for the concept which doesn't interest me the least so far.

Oh thank the gods. Some competent main characters who don't seem to be overly stupid in any way so far. Only thing against them is the weird way Chaika talks but other than that they can all fight and seem to do it without complaint.

Wow an action anime that's boring.. I was interested with the synopsis but it turns out to be very, if not below, average.

It's just so.... normal. The Unicorn killing was nice though. 4/10 for now, let's hope it improves.

I thought the episode was okay. Wasn't very interesting, but the action was decent.
Everything I was about to say.

Same here. If Chaika speaks like that whole series, it's gonna eat one point from this series

At first I wasn't sure why weird talking girl was putting me off so much. And then I noticed her huge eyebrows. Holly crap, she looks terrible. Graphically this show isn't much but her character design is enough to make you run away. I don't think I'll be able to watch it unless they censor her face...

Bad OP, bad ED. Character designs are alright, Chaika is quite cute appearance-wise but her infantile talking will be grating if it lasts more than a few episodes.
I'll see where this goes but I'm lukewarm about it so far.

You know what would be hilarious? If there were two main characters who spoke broken japanese while talking with each other, it would have been so hilarious! xD I like Chaika already, she reminds me of Rikka (Chuunibyou) somehow.

I really like it.Such a stupid thing I was gonna do by dropping it. This is way better than Seikoku no Dragonar! Don't know why some peope dislike the art. It might be a bit generic but the animation is fluid.

Dead? Is that the reason she is coffin princess?
