| As far as episode one, it's a fine crossover between Haruhi, Clannad and Haibane Renmei. It was mostly ok, but backgrounds were terribly plain and I already hate the characters' faces. But, hey, it's Key, right? It's ok to hate their tasteless faces. |

(No offense). noteDhero said: Hmmm.... So, I watched the first 5 minutes of CoalGuys' subs, and quickly realized that wasn't fair, so I downloaded Mazui. Overall, I'd say that some of the animation and production (lighting, angles, etc.) were good. But the character design is very dull, and I was surprised to see such discrepancies from one shot to the next. Character design might be dull by I disagree with you about art style in those character being dull in particular Yuri and Tenshin. noteDhero said: I'm reminded of the very beginning of the episode where the main girl is holding the gun, and she is proportioned one way, then they shot her from behind, and she looks so much thinner, and more petite, and then they shoot another angle, and she looks different again. That is kind of inexcusable for a first episode, especially when the animation wasn't fluid enough to warrant such mistakes. I will agree with you....too bad you can't post pictures of those changes....I would have liked your point to be more illustrative. noteDhero said: The scenario is by far the most interesting part, since Key is quickly tossing in the supernatural element of the show as opposed to using it as deus ex for the end with little explanation. Still, though, I'm sure very little will be explained as opposed to what is necessary to completely understand what's going on, since this is how Key adaptations have always been. Yes! Supernatural element is amazing but the best about it is the eerie mystery atmosphere. noteDhero said: The characters are blah at best. No one stands out for being original, or even a refreshing take on their archetype. Normally, the character design would help there, but since everyone looks either generic or an allusion to another character, I'm just totally bored, and it makes the "comedy" less enjoyable since it's all so obvious and by the numbers. I will give them credit for having a lot of guys in the cast, though. That's a sharp difference from Key's past casts, and my pants enjoy that decision. Rofl your pants? Yeah I agree with that. noteDhero said: Finally, there was way too much exposition for my taste. I'm not really a fan of trying to pack the first episode with the philosophy of the show, because it more often than not comes off as amateurish, as it does here. Yes but it can turn into professional once the pieces missing of this come together explaining all this. noteDhero said: So, rating the show off of this episode, I'd give it a 5/10 just because the story could have potential. The episode itself, though, I'm going to go with a 2/5, since there were far more negatives than positives. I might go and watch CoalGuys' version now. Rofl I started it at 8 but will be harsher to make it go up to 9. PSNB said: I didn't notice this on my first few watches, but when I captured this screenshot I noticed something quite interesting. Of course, this is pure speculation, as I've not checked out the VN yet. That is sure interesting but I though there was no VN for this being a complete original itself. |

I was obviously joking since that will be anyone's first impression of Yuri but you didn't watch The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya so you won't get it. Oh and I think anyone that even watched it even in 480p can tell it was binary. |

| Shit, this wasn't as terrible as I expected. It was actually okay I guess. Will watch ep 2, though I'm going to drop if this turns into a shitty romance anime. |

dandere said: ESSWHY said: though I'm going to drop if this turns into a shitty romance anime. lol lol lol really? Why wouldn't I? I thought because >Key it would turn into a shitty romance anime. Yet MAL does not list romance as a genre, and the cock to boob ratio is not in favour of a shitty harem situation... so I was thinking maybe I'm safe. Am I wrong? |

| Are you a bad enough dude? |
|
| This is my type of anime.....Anything that is unique i eat up lol |
| + there were some punchlines that actually made me grin + there was some comedy that I actually liked (character descriptions, their operation) + key coffee. + so very violent xD - the hit count was an old joke. It was funny when sunohara was beat up, but this is just a repeat. - soundtracks are too synthetic - loads of stereotypes, even clannad and kanon had less sterotypes. maybe because of the male characters. it was funny how their stereotype were ridiculed though. - A girl band ?! WTF, die. I hate it when anime characters sing - except for otsu-chan. I'll keep watching because it's in my team for FAL spring 2010. Go key fanboys go |

Lind_L_Tailor said: I agree with you on this form of review but saying what I suggested to bring people into trying this anime based on one's aspects of what they think after 1 episode can be a good thing as long as no ratings nor assumption directed at the anime's general things is not set because it cannot be done unless all of it is watched logically.francismeunier said: Lind_L_Tailor said: I don't think so.....that person's first impression may make viewers tend to pick this up......the review can be changed after sometime to reflect new views of that person.....it's not that stupid actually when you think about it. fertygo said: ok, i'm out. maybe right some people just too fast give judgement to this show. but who the hell that give 10 on the review/rate ? sheesh I'm goes to retard mode too and rate this one 1 (don't worry i change them if i drop this one) because faggots like them Agreed, anyone who would rate 10/10 after one episode and post up a goddamn review is an idiot.

| This was a little painful to get through. Hackneyed archetypes, weak plot, and cliches everywhere. The lead female (I don't even remember her name) is the only character I really care about, and the main character is an irritable idiot. At the very least, the animation is pretty sexy. I'll give it a few more episodes before I decide to drop it. Maybe. |
 |
francismeunier said: Let's "logically" think for sec. Anybody who knows that if only one episode aired thus far, they will still watch it out of curiosity despite the ratings and stupid reviews. |
| @Maximatum99 I thought people will watch it after when they start reading the review.....seeing is believing ^^ |
| hmmmm.. i am in awe at the animation of this show.. what is this? a theatrical movie? it is too overwhelming for a tv series.. thank you, P.A. Works.. anyway, lots of things are still not clear but i'll be watching this show till it ends coz production is definitely topnotch.. what i found funny are how they managed to put every darn cliche characters into this show and describe them clearly as that.. kinda makes you feel comfortable with the characters and already know a lot about them.. |
| I'm not sure what to think of this show just yet. The first episode was a bit dull for my tastes. The 'jokes' didn't really come across as such, the show seems to take itself way too seriously for that. And if Yuri isn't modeled after Haruhi, it's a pretty damn good impression then. The animation itself didn't really impress me. it looks okay, but I've seen better. Oh well, we'll see how this develops from here. |

I doubt anyone needs a single episode review when they can easily go out and form their own opinions on it for themselves. |

| ^ I'm only talking about one episode and one episode being aired. Therefore no one would really have a clue about the rest of the anime. They will watch it and decide to drop it or continue from that. |

Maximatum99 said: you can categorize it in Nyaatorrent also, just like in Toshokan but its manually not automatically.Anyway during the new year,Toshokan did break down(quite long) and it force me to move to Nyaatorrent.The only good thing of NyaTorrent is that you can see the seeder and peer ^^.gloryfy said: It rarely breaks down and Nyaatorrents is a pain in the ass for me.

| ^ Yeah, it was quite a while they broke down and I did switch to Nyaa. |
| ^ TT hasn't had many problems since then though. Anyways, I liked the show and I think it has a very interesting premise. I can see it going either way though and I hope it becomes a really good series. I can already tell that the OST is going to be awesome. I didn't care much for the OP, but the ED is really nice. |

| Overrated. Everybody is automatically assuming or getting their hopes up that this show will be good because Key was involved. EDIT: Also, because we amateurs can shoot handguns with one hand and also expect to hit, while suffering no impact from the ricochet when firing. Then again, explosions are louder in space in Gundam... |

No game/manga of this exists that I know of. There will be a manga based off the anime though, if I remember right reading that on ANN. Well, I meant that I didn't play the VN, so I don't know the story xD LOL. I didn't know that. So everyone has no idea what the story is about, lol. Thanks for the info~ |
