Kokko said: Half of the episode should have been set in the headmaster's room but the anime director arrogantly decided to have the characters also talk outside of it. It ruined the setup for Ikki's and Stella's coming arcs. Disgusting. Eh but I think that it's more interesting when the scene changes rather than it being in the headmaster's room all the time. It would be rather hard to depict a scene change in the novel because it'll disrupt the flow, whereas in the anime, a change of scene helps keep it lively. Edit:  Here's what I mean. It's all conversation. You can't just make a scene change by saying they moved to outside the dorm room. |

| I can sort of see why this can be something to look forward. A LN friend of mine did say that this is one of the better ones, despite the somewhat generic setting of a magical school and all. Using his full potential in one minute, seeing more of Ikki's tactics should be fun. This season has quite a few of characters being addressed as princess. |

Mentar said: There's KareKano.Rakudai will not win the originality cup, but it does a few things very well. It has likable characters and (something that is literally unheard of) fast, real and lasting romance development between the MCs. Anyway, I'll pass. Spoil myself with the "plot twist" later. |

| Well then, that exceeded my expectations. Liked Ikki from the start and was feeling mixed about Stella, but ended up liking her towards the end as well. Well, guess I can see why some of the LN readers for this were hyping it up a bit compared to other stuff. Maybe I'll check out the LN as well if this keeps up. |

| The sterotpyes and the cliches are strong with this one but at least it looks pretty. Familiar but pretty. |

| The first episode of this was much better than the first episodes of gakuen toshi whatever. |
| Not bad. Not bad at all. Don't disappoint, Silver Link. |
 |
| Pretty generic, uninteresting episode. So many cliches there is no way to note them all... Also srsly, the series seemed to establish itself as all about 'untalented' vs 'talented' people, we see the very talented Stella, and the supposedly untalented MC, but then suddenly the MC turns out to be a f***ing god of talent, seriously he is fucking talented as fuck, just in a different way to Stella.... I really loved the initial theme of a talentless guy struggling to survive in a world full of talented people.. I was about to empathise with the MC. Suddenly the MC turns out to be some martial God of swordfighting and able to use his magic effectively despite low amount of it... I hate how that theme gets thrown out the window in Ep 1..... |
| I am a human. |
| This is how most MC should behave...when see your waifu undress, undress as well. The haters will complain and say shit again. Well, as for me I LOVE this type of anime/manga/novel. Looking forward for more epicness to come. |
 |
| Ok.... this is a standard and it's not from the standard .... (btw guys, I think I'm getting this déjà vu too.... combating MC, worst character and which turned to be the best... NOW HAND DOWN THE IMOUTO AND SISCON AND TELL ME THERE IS ONLY ONE FEELING LEFT muhahahaha...) Well, a mixture of standards is now a typical standard.... so, right.... it's another one of those shows |

 |
| Lol'd so much at how similar Asterisk and Rakudai were. Esp watching them back to back. Pinkish hair fire princess that had the MC enter on her while changing then hit him and challenged him to a duel XD But liked Rakudai more because Ikki seems cooler and Stella is way cuter. She already apologized and the scene when she was touching Ikki in his sleep was lol |
 |
| "strongest"? LOL. If he fails finishing a fight in that one minute he has pretty much lost. That's a pretty big flaw for someone who some people in this thread consider as "overpowered". Also Ikki can only use that ability once in a day. What if he had two hard fights on the same day? He would be pretty much done for. |

They shifted things around a little bit, but overall, the anime stayed fairly close to the original, in my opinion. Though I was a bit disappointed that they shortened the headbump scene ;) |

The fight scene was shit though, it was literally sped up shitty animation. They fucking skipped the tomato juice scene as well, wtf? 5/5 |

|
| Complaining about unoriginality after first episode... Ayy LMAO. Typical MAL. Beautiful art and animation. Good initial characterizations. Cute female MC. Male MC knows how to handle a tsundere, instead of being a beta. Good initial impression so far. 5/5. |
Just_ChickenOct 3, 2015 3:28 PM
| Better than Seirei Tsukai so far. Oh well too many generic magical academy series for today.... Will have to watch a few more episode to see. GoldenDevilGamer said: I swear I've seen this episode already today!. Well this > Gakusen so far. But the art for the other one was better. Yes I agree this was oddly better than Asterisk minus the animation. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| very similar to Gakusen Toshi, in facts it's rather odd the first episodes were so similar. Yes it's cliché & unoriginal in parts but I think it's gonna be allot of fun plus the art was pretty good. |
| I just read some of the manga after so many people defending the series. It felt better than Gakusen Toshi Asterisk but nothing to add than that. I like to spoil myself a little. Veredict: In my watching list. |
| Nice episode.... LOL @ "I won't even make an excuse saying I didn't see what I saw. So... How about I take my clothes off and we call it even?" |
 |
| WOW it was bearable although i think i saw its twin(Gakusomething something Asterisk) earlier today, anyway i hope it doesn't disappoint me cus i do enjoy good generic harem/ecchi shows full of cliches as long as they aren't insulting the viewer. |
| May be a so absolute that more serious I hope it's better than absolute duo |

| Another anime they pulled out of the recycling bin. WTF is happening to anime these days, it's almost like Hollywood. |
 |
| This first episode was really enjoyable. O Stella, you bad girl, touching people. Lol. This will definitely be a fun watch this season, looking forward to it. |

I mean complete originality isn't the primary goal anymore; what matters is the execution and the unique aspects doesnt it? |
 |
| Lol the tropes are real Now seriusly, comparing this with asterisk i like this more, the comedy feels better and the MC is not soo stupid... The animatión is really good also |

| Decent episode. But yeah, when you hit yourself on the back of your head, you bandage your forehead....wth. |
shiroux said: Decent episode. But yeah, when you hit yourself on the back of your head, you bandage your forehead....wth. That's been one of the changes. In the original, Stella jerks upward, bumps her head, and then falls down the bed, face-ahead *ouch*. Hence the cut on the forehead. She tries to play it off claiming spilled tomato juice, but noone's buying ;) |

Most of anime nowadays don't show unique contents on the first episodes, the history have to develop first and some shows don't even have time to show your true colors( for example Serei no Tsukai no Blade Dance stopped before the history really gets interesting). So far this show and asterisk are good, MCs generics? Yes, but they have some trails of personality with is good(i laughed hard on Stella's pervert scene), lets see how they develop in both shows. |
| Not bad, kept me interested throughout the whole episode. Mc being the weakest/worst one based on not being able to evaluate his strength reminds me of Mahouka. Kinda hoping he gets more OP ;) |
