Well, this was surprisingly funny. If they continue in this trend further this would be one of my favourite show of this season.

Nice take on superpower genre and Dark and Dark being useless power was marvellous :D

Only two things I liked. Otherwise I found it a little grating. Reminded me of Seitokai No Ichizon in a bad way.

Incidentally "useless MC who everyone makes fun of but is reliable when it matters" is one of my least favorite things in anime.

I just finished the first episode and it was really funny, I appreciate.
Well, the reference to kill la kill ( Good job Trigger ) with the boxing glove was good.
Seriously, Dark and Dark is the best name for a great power. :D

Alright, I follow.

I really hate when they make a character look smart over a simple matter, like they did with Tomoyo, during the scene where Kudou reveals her power.

Other than that, I really enjoyed this anime

dat ass grab of Tomoyo by Andou after she removed him from the water bubble, and she didn't even notice! XD .

Decent debut episode. Pacing might have been a bit too quick, but that happens with adapations, and I only noticed that after watching. The second half of the episode went by quick (as in I was pretty into the episode I didn't check the timestamp).

BGM was fitting. I didn't find the OP and ED songs tasteful; their respective animations fit their songs I suppose.

I liked it 4/5.

I'm quite late to this thread. :(

It really suck when you're the only one invested in something and get the short end of the stick, uh? BUt I wonder, even if the flame isn't hot, can it spread like normal fire? He could plunge the city into a scary but harmless dark fire!

IMO, I think that the most OP power is Tomoyo one. She could litterally stop the time and start killing everyone without anyone noticing it. The possibilities are infinite!

It can turn out a fun entertaining serie, but I don't expect much from it. It look pretty much Chu-2 Byo, but where their power are real and without the drama.

but come to think of it, the president power is root of origin, and not too mention she is a good fighter ( got black belt in both karate and judo) which practically makes her immortal. pretty much like godsuya regrwoth (mahouka) and not too mention we havent know about her power yet except for the part where it can restore things to its origin state

I like the whole otaku angle for the main character...but the whole " all the females outclass and overpower the male" is just such bs .....it adds a lame factor to the show..I shall keep watching as its kinda funny, and I already began watching...buuut im not overly hopeful. PErhaps a 6/10 series...time shall tell.

Ando is annoying as hell. I do NOT like characters like his. He will probably have the best superpower by the end of the show like always. I would like it a bit more if it wasn't almost guaranteed he will end up one of the strongest if not the strongest.

How did Kodou know that her power was awakened if she can't use it in the first place? How did she know that she can steal other people's power?

A few things regarding Kuudou-san didn't make sense in this episode. Firstly, she was shown peeping into the lit room and witnessing the activation of the MC's power before she made the decision of confronting them, so why didn't she steal the power then? Secondly, how would she even know her power had activated in the first place when initially, there was no power to steal? Other than that, pretty fun episode that makes good use of its premise, though I don't like the fact that a generic-looking villain has appeared already - I'd have preferred to see a few more episodes of them fooling around with their powers. The LN industry needs to take note of how a relatively original premise can elevate an otherwise boring and standard show.

Yes, I admit that the show had an average start. I think it's because the club just found out about their power, mainly. Six months pass, but there isn't a place for them to use the power (yet, I'm guessing).

With that mysterious guy in the tree and the anonymous message, the show now has something to work on. From here, we'll see what the conflict of the story is.

On a lighter note: god, even I felt the punches when dark on dark was being roasted alive, lol.

Well, the ending for this episode piqued my interest, so it's definitely an anime I'll watch.

Feels like Sayumi's Root of Origin is like Crazy Diamond from Jojo

and Tomoyo's closed clock is like the ability of The World and
from Jojo cept I'm not sure how many seconds she can stop time for and perhaps it's better since she can slow down and speed up.

I'm just here comparing this to Jojo xD

Well well well, another harem anime that will definitely end with the main girl. I'd be surprised and love this anime if I was proven otherwise. However, I must say it's interesting. Chifuyu is cute too, but she's that kind of character that never win.

I have to say the chuuni behaviour of the MC weirded me out a bit, but the rest of the first episode was enjoyable. The rest of the cast we've seen so far (= his harem) seem fun enought to watch. Not sure who's best girl yet.

i have a question though. when the student council president awakened her power how did she know it was awakened? in the anime they even mentioned that her power was useless on her own, so how did she discover that she possessed this useless power? i mean only the literature club members have powers and no one else so how?????

Good start, I start to like this anime.

I just randomly picked this title from bunch of anime in SoL tags. Surprised that this was created by Trigger, the studio that I know more because of their great mecha.

Ok, to the next episode.

Their powers are really just so OP. I guess they will start to interact with a lot of other persons who have awakened super powers.

It was hilarious to see that Andou power is totally useless, I wonder if they will able to use it somehow in a real battle.

A pretty good introduction so far Hatoko :eyes:

I like how this episode was pretty straightforward commencing the presentation of each of their powers and I liked that

And another character added to the club with an amusing superpower that can steal other's powers as well and a mysterious character stalking the club I'm guessing that's the anonymous sender.

Not too fond of the characters right now. It's the usual powerless buttmonkey protagonist surrounded by overpowered girls cliche, except said girls seem to be overly vitriolic in their treatment of him, to an extent where it seems more like bullying than raillery. I am hoping the comedy has more wrinkles to it than "Everyone calls the MC a pathetic retard for twelve episodes".
