this isnt based off the manga, and the manga is a crappy adaption of the light novels. its already confirmed for 9 volumes in most likely a split cour. and plus, its not really rushing since the volumes are short. its like 2.5-3 chapters per episode. the reason nothing is explained is because things are explained in takerus head. i dont even know where your coming from that action scenes were changed....next to nothing was changed, lol.

Remember, I'm comparing to the manga. The sniping in the manga wasn't two dummies, but to police officers on the opposite side of the building. The Dragoon didn't magically appear, but was already in position. The cause of Takeru falling on Ouka was different. After Ouka saves Takeru from the trap door, the culprits didn't just jump out of nowhere, they tried to get away in a vehicle. Also, the victims weren't censored. If they're following the LN and your saying the action scenes weren't changed, then I can see why the manga didn't meet your expectations. So, I'll take back what I said about reading the manga, but I would've liked to have seen what happened in between Takeru chasing after Ouka because she was injured and them suddenly investigating a crime scene. At least the manga includes it along with Takeru's thoughts. I don't know about the LN, but I'm hoping your not saying it skips it as well. Sure, it's not that important, but it was a scene that gave a bit more info on the investigation and allowed Takeru to get a little closer to Ouka.


To be honest, the manga wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be...........it kept the events of the LN so you can get a general idea but added pointless and unnecessary fanservice that wasn't in the source material. It can turn some people off or give wrong impressions, i was annoyed while reading it at first too. The manga also shortened the final battle scene though so i hope we can see it animated fully in the next episode.

Overall the first episode was rushed but it wasn't too bad, but keeping a few important events and dialogues while cutting the boobgrab scene would have helped. So as usual i would suggest reading the LN if you are interested but that's entirely up to you decision.

I'd agree when it comes to the fanservice. I ignore it whenever I'm watching or reading something, so I pay more attention to the story and mainly judge its quality based on that. I'm sure I'd be annoyed as well if they intentionally added it to the source material. So, thanks for telling me why it's hated by so many. I'm glad there will be more story to look forward to. I probably won't notice anymore skipped scenes since the manga chose not to go as far as the LN. So, I'll definitely get more enjoyment out of it.

@ShuukaAAT: An opinion without reason isn't all that convincing. I don't know if you mentioned your reason on an earlier comment; but if not, not everyone is going to take your word for it. I'm sure the majority of the LN reads didn't like the manga adaptation, but there are the few who did. I'd probably agree with you if I had read the LN first. Call it luck or bad luck considering I'm noticing the scenes they skipped in the anime adaptation.

yes i noticed thet skipped some scenes of developement, but i guess its so they can get through the whole 9 volumes in 2 cours.

the manga was pretty bad to begin with....the art was weird, and it added unneeded fanservice which pissed me off. most of the LN readers dont like the adaption at all.

Did they make manga just for selling out light novels?
That's when he obtained that new power, ranger stuffs is more useful and easy since you need real skilled to be able to handled Sword against magic & guns.
Even mock him for that but you will see our MC saved the world.

Idk... it has the same shit where the MC wants to be their friend or comrade no matter what and or how evil they are... the dark past... and a lot more cliche shit... idk. I want to like it but the one that hits the spot is the "I want to be your friend no matter what" shit makes me mad and not like it. I'll see if it gets better or not throughout the series.


thye never even said anything about "i want to be your friend no matter what"..... this anime is dark for a reason....just wait till they get to v5


@ShuukaAAT and @phantom346

I believe I wrote the last part wrong. I meant to say that the one that hits the spot is "I'll be your comrade no matter what". Don't get me wrong, I am still going to watch it but I dislike that shit. So we'll see if it actually gets better or not.

I like the premise of catching witches and stuff and the beginning part was pretty interesting, but I feel like this episode was super rushed. The first mission failing, OK, I get that, and Ohtori saying what everybody had to improve on was good. Except then, how'd we get from Takeru chasing after her with her arm hurt to another mission? Not to mention her spilling out about her family getting killed and then Takeru saying that "oh don't worry we can become friends" ... yeah. Kind of cliched and not to mention that fall boob grab XD
Takeru seems interesting at least. He clearly knows how to use that sword, and that siscon thing ... haha, she's got you there! :P I would've liked to see a bit more of the other characters - Usagi and the other girl were pretty funny. Ah well, I'm hoping the next episode is better :O
ED was all right, not really my style but transitioned well from the episode IMO

That was... pretty lame.

None of the characters seem interesting at all and it feels like a clone of everything bad about this genre. Well, at least the other two are trying to have interesting characters but this one just feels dead. OP is crap too.

Not gonna waste my time here. Drop.

Not good, but very enjoyable, and the main character is not a complete tool. They should have given this series a different title though:

Okay, The story was indeed not generic and it's a good one.
The animation and the character designs are also good.
The ED song with it's animation was good too.

The first minute of this show was an amazing hook for me but the rest of the ep was so-so. I was most impressed with the soundtrack, the beats were killer in this show. Hoping I'm in for a wild ride as the plot progresses.

Nonononono boob touch. Couldn't they think at least about something more creative?...
And I thought that Silverlink pushed all thier budget to this show since Shomin Sample looks like a shit.... But this show is not looking that great as I thought (yeah, I still have Non Non Biyori on my mind...)
Ariak said:
:/ Doesn't look too good. Definitely better than a lot of ecchi shows, but still...


Well, nope. You didn't see many ecchi shows right? After first episode I can say that it was rather worse than average ecchi show.
And that 'dragon' mecha, wtf? I don't know why, but it reminded me about Rail Wars, similar setting if it comes to characters
Ok time to see what's next. I hope that it will get better.

The character designs and animation were not bad.
Well done SilverLink.. quite rushed and packed though.
I look forward for the action.. story wise not much expectation.
It's too hard to adapt everything into aniimation.
The beginning short preview was good.
Nice op and ed too.

Shuuka said:
it wasnt rushed imo, they adapted it just fine.
So which one is it? I haven't read the light novel but I thought that it was pretty rushed, if it's also that way in the light novel. The sudden outburst by the end of the episode caught me off guard, but that's not what's surprising. What surprised me was how fast and easily Ouka recover from her emotional turmoil. It was just an odd scene.

Otherwise, like someone has mentioned, the dynamic between the main cast is fun to follow. Hoping to get to know more about Takeru sometime in the future.

Hosoya!!!!

Racist focks.

DAT RECORDING! DAT ASS! OPPAI!

RYOKO!!!!

Takeru must not settle for less than a harem.

Serious chick is here.

Racist dude: End your sentences with "gozaru", like a samurai!

I admit. I laughed at that you racist fock.

Takeru is badass.

"Onii-chan"

WTF? Siscon?

Metal Gear!

I knew that slip, fall, oppai grab was going to happen.

All those dead bodies.

Kanako does it again.

Meh start, was expecting the MC to be a bit better than that, what a lame ass.
Was getting all worked up, being his potential out, to suddenly having to be saved from those thugs, by a generic female MC you see all the time in this kind of shows.

Had hopes he would be a bit less retarded, but oh well, looking forward to Lapis mostly.

Don't ever underestimate a japanese samurai. Takeru split a bullet in half with his katana and would of killed them all, if it wasn't for his subordinate imitating his little sister's voice. Looks like we got a siscon Mc...

Takeru should stop barging into rooms on every mission.

Seems alright so far, at least, thanks to how dynamic the characters are.
