----------------------------------------
First episode was interesting, we have a love triangle(?) including a Yuri couple who are going to do some maho shojo (as Miko) to fight along/against Mechas (wtf?).
Sounds like a crazy crossover, let's see how it will develop..

I was just a tad confused about what happened. Can't believe that there is actually mecha in here.

Although the mecha part does look strange, I wonder how they will make it work, the anime is promising.

It would be the first shoujo-ai I have seen.

*excited*

Wow, this anime just sort of jumps in...

'Okay, let's have a brief intro,
Now, our main characters meet,
They become best of friends.

Here is our knight in shining armor,
He likes one of the Heroines,
But oh wait he is one of the bad guys!

Queue the mecha,
Dastardly betrayal! Our Knight is really a good guy,
And now the kiss while our Knight is distracted...'

This has to be one of the quickest beginnings to an anime that I've come across so far...

Hopefully the story fleshes out more as it goes on.

No, I think you took that part wrong. If you notice when they're having lunch together, Himeko insinuates that they have been meeting in the garden for some time. Explaing why Miya says, "we can cease meeting like this". And she was looking at the photo album full of photos of them together, obviously showing they have "been together"~~:P, for a while now.

I really wasn't expecting the mecha, guess I never looked at the genre for this show.

But, it was a good surprise. As ridiculously over the top it was, it was pretty good.

Though, I watched the first episode with English dialogue, and besides Himeko and Miya(Same voices as Orihime{Himeko} and Rukia{Miya} from Bleach), the rest of the voice cast was pretty weak. Not a very good dub so far for me, except Hime and Miya were voiced nicely. But overall I wouldn't recommend the Dub. I'm gonna try the Subbed on the next episode and see which I like better.
Edit:[/] Ok, after watching a few more episodes, I am retracting what I said about the English dub. Though in the first episode the voice acting seemed generic, it's gotten significantly better. And, with the addition of the "Necks" they've added some bigger names for the respective characters. So, in short, it is turning out to be a nice Dub.

But, either way I will definitely be continuing this series..Urahara Out!!

Okay, first episode actually was kind of uncool.
It was packed and shallow at the same time - let's just hope for a bit of an explanation in the next one.

Man, what did they all throw in...Chikane dashing to help Himeko on a horse, conventiently having brought along her arrows; first Yuri kiss; Ohgami taking control of a Tranform- erm, Orochi...

Yeaaaaaahhhh. I found that a tad bit weird. You would think that he would notice them frenching each other in front of him -_-

I was laughing soo much during this episode. Especially at the end when Chikane kisses Himeko, and Souma is in the background screaming with the giant beam of light shooting into the sky.

Re-watching this after many years — don't remember how many but I think I watched it in 2006 (at the latest). While it seems to be an insane melange at this point, it certainly got a lot done. Very intense. It looks good, and sounds good, even with the horses and robots.

I also find it interesting how action-oriented our ojou-sama is.

"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!"

This has your generic anime supernatural AND giant mechas, two of my least favourite genres. But I'll give this a chance, mainly for the shojou ai.

And lol that kiss. I feel bad for Oogami. He was getting all hyped up and trying his hardest to fight for and protect the love of his life and Himeko instead was happily kissing Chikane right beside him.

The whole love triangle in this series would have been resolved if he had just looked down instead of screaming at the top of his lungs, lol!

Knowing this anime, this power ranger pattern is probably going to lead to something very drastic and dark mooded.

idk wtf i thought i was getting myself into, i thought it would be a tame all-girl dormitory and school anime and i thought it was going to be sweet. OK so basically i thought: strawberry panic but with shrine maidens. i did catch the word mecha when i googled up the name however this? wtf is this? it was a mix and match of everything omfg i was like this is getting really ridiculous only halfway through the episode. not a good sign. the panty shots and lingerie and bras was tasteless too. so at first i liked that oogami guy a lot and was agreeing when they were talking about him being a good match for himemiya. until the RANDOM ASS ominious cloud came about and suddenly there was the gundam cough and then the random people, the random demon possession of oogami, the riding on a horse, the two destinies... and obviously, everything was rushed. even the romance. i felt like they should have at leeeeast taken a full episode's grace to properly show how they started having feelings for each other. i just- *facepalms* the only reason why i tried watching it was due to having loved the song agony by kotoko that is the ending, and found out it was used in this anime. it was so... disappointing. i skipped a fair share of moments, including the kiss.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Probably the most chaotic and nonsensical 1st EP that I've ever watched.
Dub = fake crap. Always.
