| I really don't know what to think of this. Part of me wants to call it bland, trite and unimpressive, but I can't deny I was entertained enough to get interested in what happens next.. Really not a fan of the writing. I'll keep watching, but I hope it gets better. |
 |
| May the power of censorship protect you. I liked it but still just alright, I expected to go for the quick drop but it somewhat did a good job introducing Hazuki's character, I will watch 1-2 more episodes and decide. |
 |
| decent 1st episode. |

| Kinda meh to begin with. I'm as clueless as our main girl as to what's going on at the moment. I will keep watching to see what happens next and to learn about what's happening. |

| Looks promising, but the fanservice is all over the place here, mahou shoujos and fanservices are not a good blend. Hope Mädchen proves me wrong. |

| I was looking forward to this, but this episode dashed all of my hopes. By the time the opening came around, I already knew I was in for a disappointment. That opening basically tells you what this show is going to be like. |

| The whole time I was watching this, I wondered which bland cliche they'd bring up next. I'll admit I had no hopes at all going into this, and I was right in doing so. Such a generic fanservice-filled episode. The animation was lazy, flashbacks to things that happened only minutes ago, the opening literally being parts of the episode... And the whole time just being utterly cringy. Like watching something one of my weeby friends back in middle school might have written up and then self inserted themselves into. Dropped |

| That was a lot more lewd than I expected especially scenes in the end credits. I thought it was cute. Cute girls doing cute things (maybe even each other lol) and blowing stuff up. Let's see where it goes |
| Holy shit. That was terrible introduction. Instant dropped |
| Rance X is A GOAT. |
| I have read the LN so I find it a bit disappointing but hey probably their funding wasn't enough lol even the opening is pretty worse as it got many repeated shots. I hope it goes okay but doesn't think I will give some good expectation of it. It could be a decent anime but surprisingly Japan studios seem to like to fuck up and give out shit quality animation makes ppl wanna to drop it instead of putting more effort and investment on it to make it more popular so that later on your have more fund to make an even better anime |

| Like many of the previous posters I found this to be pretty disappointing. On one hand I liked the mystery aspect of it... I always like a slow reveal. We heard this from some of the characters ("well that means....", etc.). But the payoff so far just isn't too interesting -- I see that they're in a magic land but it just not magical enough. Looks like it's going to be pretty bland. Hoping I'm wrong. |
| As with some other anime this season, started off kinda slow. However, I really relate to Hazuki. So that was a really strong point. Random nudeness doesn't bother me at all, I'm not a prude. Story did hook me at least. |
 |
| interesting though im sure itll be just another generic cute girls doing cute things with some magic added |
| Isekai with female protag. WHY IS THIS NOT A THING. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| im sure people who love fanservice would have a time of their life with this anime like Ecchikingmamster. When opening shows about 10 fanservice shots you never what you are going into :D But seriously i didnt understand the first 10 minutes that much, it felt like random scenes thrown together??? no one else felt that it just felt very unnatural? and awkward? |
LeeTailor said: I was looking forward to this, but this episode dashed all of my hopes. By the time the opening came around, I already knew I was in for a disappointment. That opening basically tells you what this show is going to be like. This is just not how you do a first episode at all. You'd think that the creators would put some of the most interesting things about their show in the very first episode, essentially making the episode itself a "teaser" for the rest of the series. But what am I supposed to be looking forward to after this? More bathing and running around naked? That doesn't seem like the worst idea for a fanservice or sports series, but then the whole premise here (the magic school with the books) is just wasted as window dressing. It's silly how almost the entire episode focused on the protagonist, and we barely learned anything about her. She is supposedly a book nerd and she suffers from anxiety, but all of that is buried so deep under the generic moe-isms, that she ends up lacking depth even after a full episode dedicated to her. The only thing remotely interesting about her was the way her mother's death was brought up If only the episode had focused more on the actual stories she enjoys. But this is not going to be that kind of anime. It's going to be a fanservice-moe-action shlock (in fact, forget the action - there wasn't even a decent battle, since the teacher got in the way) that over-optimizes itself, like a smoothie that ends up tasting like nothing in particular because you threw too many different things in it. Magic high schools (like Harry Potter), metafiction (like the Neverending Story), mahou shoujo anime. Those are all nice things, but if you just throw their elements into a story randomly without understanding what makes them work, you will probably end up with something like Märchen Mädchen. I'm willing to give episode 2 a shot, just in case I'm wrong, but I'm not expecting anything good out of this one anymore. Also, I sure hope no one is expecting any consequential yuri (i.e. more than just throwaway teasing) here, because it should be obvious that that's not going to happen. feels bad for you :( but i suggest not to look forward to any isekai adaptations, disappointment will come! You wrote quite nice comments btw |
| This. Is. Adorable. 100% guaranteed to watch. But yeah I know it's gonna be at best a 5/10. Life is so hard. |
| i'm started to watch this along with Blend S but the fanservice of Marchen Madchen should be at MINIMUM level & @delta5 hello there |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| It was fine to me...nothing special...but let's see how this goes... it was nice to see fhana perform again as the OP of this show! 3/5. |

It's probably just a matter of tone, tropes, and whatever other random intangibles that make the difference. That being said, I think the fanservice in this show is pretty over the top and utterly unnecessary. I should look at the source material to see what the deal is. But...meh. It's kind of a cheap-looking show. I'm still gonna watch it! |
| High quality girls from Kantoku nice ED too. 11/10 |

Also, Marchen character are cuter and more lovable and it aslo lacks those annoying males from Blend S which is a good thing |
thepath said: lolz Marchen Madchen's fanservice should be just turn down to minimum my laddie but i like Blend S a lot and u can't stop me from watching it and u hate Blend S bcoz u hate the sadist girl and u like shows with too much fanservice (like Marchen Madchen) and u think it more addicting just like a drug and tbh my lad i'm different than u may think i only watch anime for cute girls and i prefer the anime's fanservice should be LOWRED and it's my personal decreePrankster_001 said: i'm started to watch this along with Blend S but the fanservice of Marchen Madchen should be at MINIMUM level & @delta5 hello there Blend S was bad because it lack fanservice, and I dropped it Marchen is much better out of the two These kinds of show can't be enjoyed without fanserives in my opinion.

| I really like it.. |
| So, the characters in the book are alive or the MC was just mistaken? Hehe. Good first episode, btw. I enjoyed it. Will continue watching. That ED's so beautiful. Wanna know more about how Hazuki got to the other side and what on earth is that "Madchen" means. 4/5. |

You wrote quite nice comments btw I don't want to be someone who immediately dismisses any show just because it's isekai. I'd like to think that I'm more open minded than that. What ultimately killed this show for me was that it didn't even make me laugh. KonoSuba is an isekai with tons of fanservice, but the fanservice itself was funny, so I didn't feel like my intelligence was being insulted. |

| That was the lowest budget OP i have ever seen in an anime |
| damn that was nice tbh. |
 |
| It was okay at best too much fan service |
 |
| The show has a good concept so far. The main girl is cute and I want to know more about her powers that she mysteriously got. The school's principal seems like a fun character. The school seems pretty lively. |
 |
| That was honestly quite enjoyable. Nothing great, but definitely nothing bad either. Hazuki is adorable, and I like her character so far. Can't ever go wrong with Kantoku's design either. |
  |
| I thought this was gonna be one of those tripping af shows where you have no idea what the hell is going on but it seems like our main girl is gonna do stuff in both worlds. Whatever, it piqued my interest enough to keep watching how it turns out. |
| this was okay, i'm safe to classify this as a isekai right granted this other world doesn't seem all that different besides magic more lewd than i would've thought with the moe art ,just glad i got to hear Fhana this season since it's been lit for music with like nano.RIPE ,Aimer honeyworks, BURNOUT SYNDROME and many more already |
 |
| Red-head looks like Shura from Blue Exorcist. |
| Interesting. I was initially interested by Kantoku's artwork. Loads of fanservice with the MC running around naked with only a book to cover her front while being chased. Lets see how this series goes. |
| That was a good fanservice episode :) |
| Book-girl, in-another-world. It was cute. I laughed when the book wouldn't open. |
  |
| It was... interesting I guess. I like the main girl and the setting isn't as cliche as other Isekai. The amount of narration through inner monologue really drives me up the wall though. |
 |
| For some reason this just pulled me in in a way some others don't. Was perfectly...ok. Hazuki's attractive. Question is watchability...and the lack of it. This was watchable for me. Prejudice plays a great part |
| She ummm... so like, I'm just gonna assume it's not gonna be a common thing where she somehow ends up in situations where she lacks clothing, if not completely nude, and the fan-service here was just to attract those people who are into that, but I'm probably wrong about that... Not that it's bad, but too much fan-service ain't for me. Enjoyed the episode though. Twas pretty good. MC kind of reminds me of myself in a way, in that I'm awkward as hell and constantly fantasize about everything, which ultimately just leads to more fantasies and stories and stuff that I can't actually do anything with. |
