THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Wow, it looks like Roland's Pandora mode has a special ability of healing the damaged clothes, while Satellizer's Pandora mode has a special ability of stripping the opponent's clothes, including the pantie. -_-

Anyway, I'm dropping this show. It feels like another version of Queen's Blade to me...

This was one of those raging episodes for me like it was in the manga. Although at the end it was ecchi fantastic the way they showed the ass and tits of Bridgette with her touching herself while thinking of Kazuya.

Roland probably got my hate in the manga first since I read through all this episode, second is that bitch in the preview that I will hate next for as far as I am in the manga but if they do it right, we will find ourselves cheering when something happens in the next episode manga readers you know what I am talking about. Ecchi still top notch and blood effects too.

Leave it to Mamiko Noto to strip her opponent with one move.
It hurt me to see Mamiko Noto getting killed though...

Kazuya is really annoying though. Get away from Mamiko Noto already. =/

The hell you caring about Kazuya for. It's all about the Pandora. He's not even used in the promo art after all.

Anyway, fucking great episode.

BTW, I was never fond of the korean manga's Pandora mode. It all felt out of place to have battle armor.

The anime is actually somewhat decent at following the plot of the manga. Sure it's not entirely faithful but so far it's doing a good job adapting the first handful of chapters.

As manga reader I must say that i am really disappointed....not only that they dont go by manga where it was much better done....but they also make from this some stupid striping anime.......after watching this I must say that i rly hate those ppl in japan for making it like this.....Kazuya Aoi and Satellizer should have diffrent voice-actors....someone already said it but why the hell when Genessa entered Pandora mode had her clothes restored but Satellizer not?....the only reason i can think of is another bad decission of staff....but what i hated most is that they made Pandora Mode that way....i dont understand why autors alowed it that way....it should be cool looking armor not some glowing aura...whit hair turning white.....i was fearing this when i saw preview.....but rly....waste of good manga.....dont think i will watch another ep.....

Though the first part will be hard to swallow...

On another note - Kazuya is somewhat annoying (especially his behavior towards Satellizer before the second fight with Roland), dunno if it is the tone of his voice or something else but I hope it wont continue or he might end up like Raki from Claymore - a character that was quite likable in the manga but ended up as total anoyance in anime.

Very dissapointed as I love the manga. This felt very slow and dragged out, the action scenes could have been a lot better also. Also too many cheap ecchi shots, dont get me wrong I love ecchi but sometimes it felt forced.

Il keep watching it, if it wasnt for me liking the manga I would drop this.

I hope it improves

I actually kind of like the first episode, but the second episode was just...painfully horrible on every level imaginable. Kazuya is like someone driving a spike into my skull over and over and the effect he has on Bridgette is like a second person driving another spike into my skull, only this time it's on the other side. Dropped, deleted, and forgotten, and not quickly enough. I never want to watch another episode of this garbage.

Also, I'm really looking for gore + violence but what we get are stripping clothes :/

They ruined Pandora mode in favor of excessive fanservice? Typical move. Looks like the anime is proving far inferior to the manwha after all. Kazuya looks and sounds like a total pussy in the anime too. I guess it's his voice that's making him look like a loser. I can't see Sattelizer with Mamiko Noto either. I was expecting a more sharper badass voice for her instead.

I love it when people who haven't read the manga and don't know what it's like (or any of Im Dal Youngs) and are surprised at the fanservice.

People, Young-sensei (don't know what they call a korean Mangaka) is notorious for fan service. Everyone of his services has something in that like.

Anyway, What the hell is up with the Pandora mode?! in the manga it's this armor like thing but in this it's glowing. Even I have to admit that not right.

but even manga didnt have that much funservice.....adn that part where he touched her was made up too if i remember correctly.....and this way it just turned to be much stupider......i could even take all that.....i could get used even to wrong choise of voice actors for Satella and Aoi.....but that Pandora Mode nearly made me cry....i will continue to watch it....hope it gets better......but from OP and ED i think they want to put nearly all manga that is translated to just 12ep anime.....and that nearly always turns to be bad move....

Well the only good part was finding out who his roommate was. I laughed. I was not impressed by the really long fight really. The part where the girl thinks "it is impossible" (omg not again) for the previous #1 to activate pandora sparkly mode highlighted the ridiculousness.

Had higher hopes.

I will agree with that, they could have made the suits as good as they were with the ones the Dogs had in Asobi anime.

I agree with that, it may become so. That will be dissapointing with Kazuya should they make him like that and offer no gar progress but that may change next episode towards a better character improvement of Kazuya.

I enjoyed this that bitch was put at her place and she will most likely get kicked of her first spot next Carnival.
I wonder what the new girl will do to Aoi in order to get him.
And i am pretty curious about the relationship between Stabilizer and Aoi.
I am also wondering how Aoi will get along with his roommate since he is the Limiter of Roland.
And what will Hiragi have for influence to the story it's obvious she will have some kind of importuned role.

I have to agree on the fan service.
This this has allot more fan service and violence then Kurokami his previous work that was also turned into a Anime.
And the Manhwa that i am currently reading of his also contains less fan service and violence.

Even tho i didn't expect this much fan service i surely am enjoying it, can't wait till next week.

Great anime so far. The people who said they'll drop the anime will probably end up watching it still. Episode 2 was interesting it makes me want to see episode 3 honestly. The pandora mode was underwhelming even though I haven't read the manga but hopefully the plot line will make up for that in future episodes.

Darn, they changed the anime again. Pandora mode is not about glowing, jeez. I wonder how many changes they are gonna make, since the anime seems to be going to another direction.

And TC, Freezing is not like Queen's Blade. It may have fanservice, but it has more, mainly after volume 5.

Freezing manga = amazing

Freezing anime's 1st episode = GOOD

Freezing anime's 1st episode = WTF??


That sums it up right there. The first episode was actually good and I have no clue how things went south so fast.

Pamdora mode is a glow? LOL...wow. Its like they put no effort in at all for this episode. And I have to agree on the fanservice. It felt too forced and too lame.

I'll probably give the anime 1 more episode to see if things improve.

It's perfectly fine, after all he is the main character and main characters are truly the untouchable ones. If he wants to touch Satellizer, then Satellizer will allow it. It's not because of some sexual aura that the plot came up with, it's because he's the main character.

Anyways, it looks like the fanservice really did arrive, but i'm still not bothered by it. I admit it's ridiculous, but I'm still enjoying the hell out of this show! maybe it's because of Satellizer. I don't know, I've kind of grown attached to her. She reminds me of Saber from FSN, only with bigger jugs.

Wait, I thought we were supposed to discuss the anime in this threads, since no one really cares if you guys dropped it or not. You can just do it silently and it'll have the same effect.

Ah yes, more blood woudl've been awesome. Also, a bit slow, I feel like a lot more could've happened, since this is only 12 episodes.

*Sighs*

Fight was good, but three complaints that turned me off alot...

1. Why are the two male characters the most irritating pieces of s*** ever? Seriously I wanted to punch Aoi in the face for his stupidity and it seems like Arthur is no better.
2. What happened to the damn gore? I'm not a huge fan of blood and guts, but the thing that impressed me last episode was seeing how dangerous those weapons and Novas can be. Girl getting her leg blown off, another with her arm torn off, a lot of the girls getting their necks slashed... Apparently slicing through someone with a big f***ing sword means her clothes just rip off.
3. Pandora mode looks ridiculously stupid. Why are they going into Super-Saiyan poses? Such wasted material that had the potential to look badass.

At least Sattelizer is awesome, taking on Ganessa while injured and I thought that she would defeat Ganessa even with her Pandora mode if it wasn't for Aoi. Also thought she looked badass with just one eye.
