We had a huge character personality switch, suddenly went from one week later back in Japan to Rome in just a matter of minutes and err yeah.. phnsr said: This isn't terrible, but I find myself reminded of Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou Right when you said that I can't agree more.. Guy starts off normal suddenly gets some crazy ass powers and all of a sudden a harem of girls begin to surround him. With action of course. Not that I'm saying Campione! will follow the same route but the way it is rushing it seriously may end that way. I think we were possibly introduced to another two of his harem members in this episode. The action scenes are great but if it continues this pacing and from what people are saying putting events in the wrong order? It could turn into a shitstorm. Digging it so far though besides those things. I don't see the problem, it's a Harem anime after all, it's obvious if the genre is Harem, they'll send in girls to spy on him/attack him/seduce him/etc. That's not really the problem I have with it. It's moreover how they will present that to us. A lot of harem animes do stuff like you listed(and more) and a lot of them fail at it kind of like Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou which had the potential to become something better but ended up falling short. It's still to early to see how exactly they will do these events so I can't say anything yet. That's why I'm hoping that they'll ease the pacing a bit so it won't be rushed into following the same pattern so many other harems have. I've got hope for Campione! though. Just have to wait and see how it progresses. |

Just have to wait and see how it progresses. Well, from what I've heard it's 13 episodes and there's a lot of material, I think they'll go that way... Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou failed only the few last episodes to be honest, the rest was paced quite fine. |

Exactly. That's kind of what I fear for. Having a decent start but ending in a train wreck. In this case though what seems to be problem is a lot of material needs to be covered in 13 episodes. I bet if it was 24 episodes it would be fine or maybe if they split it off into two 12-13 episode seasons. It looks like though they intend on rushing it and trying to squeeze all the material into 13 episodes. Some have been able to pull it off but I wonder if they will be able to do it with Campione! |

Let's hope they'll be fine. As I said, I only heard it will be a 13 episode. We don't know yet if its 12-13 or 24-26. |

mijuku-nii said: This episode was OK, I guess... Though I was somewhat surprised that Erica already fell for Godou, it's only the second episode. Kana Hanazawa made her appearance, that's a plus. Godou's duel with Erica was awesome, too. I love how fights in this anime are very well-animated, and those raging colours also are great. So far I can't like any other girl beside Erica, they seem... boring. But there's a lot of them depicted in the ending, so I hope to see a lot of exciting duels with great characters. :D We have to wait to see their personalities, their motives and their looks in bikinis (WE SHALT HAVE A BEACH EPISODE!)! |

| I also thought Erica would be after something. Her attitude towards him changed so quickly. She denied it very convincingly though, but I don't know. Maybe she still wants to recruit him. We were also introduced to two more members of his future harem, the shrine maiden and the silver haired warrior. Godou is pretty competent at using his powers, I like that. Towards girls he's still a wimp, but that's to be expected as a harem protagonist. Pretty enjoyable so far. |
 |
| Ok, I love Erica XD |
| I'm still wondering why I'm watching this and having fun with it. This show makes no sense at all, yet, for some reason, I really wanna see more :) Oh well, waiting for next week and more :D |
GarethXL said: noireo said: That would have made the a good start in my view too, starting with godou meeting anna, Erica and knight's talks and finally the fight...right btw he should have have brutally trashed the steel lion, now he even took sometime to lift it. I am quite angry about not putting a single line about the chant for his forms. meh i don't mind much about godou not chanting when he use his powers since 1. even the author isn't consistent with the chants (if i remember correctly the boar has 3 diffrent variation and the bull has two.) 2. some of the forms has no chant if i'm not mistaken About the terrorist bombing? Apart from that Athena in OP look good :) yes, and yes :) We have one loli Pandora introduced, we'll find out more about her in short time, then we have a mysterious goddess and two more girls that we know for sure will enter his Harem. What's the problem? no. no you will not since pandora appearance in the novel are limited (4 brief scene and 1 passing mention if not mistaken in 12 novel to date) oh and yeah there will be a beach ep. and as for this being a 1 cour i would like to know your source i highly doubt it since hikari was in the ED it would most likely be 2 cour with it ending at the end of the 1st major arc and a glimps in to the holy grail arc. I only said I heard so, aka google searches and the major opinion being 1 cour. |

| I'm not much into Harem anime but this seems interesting. i wonder how many episodes it will have. |

mijuku-nii said: yes... indeed it has only been 2 episodes but just so you know... these 2 episodes already covered more than one volume worth of story... and how did they do that? Obviously it's because they cut all the scenes they deemed unnecessary.. including scenes that made erica develop her love towards godouThis episode was OK, I guess... Though I was somewhat surprised that Erica already fell for Godou, it's only the second episode. Kana Hanazawa made her appearance, that's a plus. Godou's duel with Erica was awesome, too.

| Im actually liking this show. Erica is interesting, as well as the MC. Looking forward to other episodes. |
| Wow it's really fast pace, I really wish they would extend the fights not the opposite. Also they somewhat changed Mariya's personality though it's not yet develop so maybe I'm wrong. demonichatered said: guys guys wait it says in the beginning an entire week passed before this episode took place soo im thinking... FLASHBACKS!!!! anyone else? He will fight somebody along those days |
| story is a tad confusing still atm but the fighting scenes are pretty bawse in 1080 goodness 8) will be seeing more :D |
Immahnoob said: Most likely from people who have neither read the novel nor watched the openings and trailers. I only said I heard so, aka google searches and the major opinion being 1 cour. For those of you who thought that the show was rushed, the truth is that the scenes from ep 1 doesn't actually happen in volume 1, it's from volume 3( a fairly boring and tedious volume). Chronologically speaking, the volumes are arranged as such:3,11(what happened during the week after Godou became a campione),1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12. |

| I haven't read the light novels, so I'm having no problems with the pacing. If I hadn't seen this thread, I wouldn't have even taken notice. They said a week had passed, so it made sense to me. Maybe I'm just gullible. Anyway, amazing episode, 5/5. Erica is great, and it should be interesting to see more of her, not to mention her fighting - it always looks so cool when she pulls out that sword. And Godou was really using those powers, which I don't find hard to believe, honestly. I mean, they're powers that don't exist, why should they be bound by normal rules? Very excited to see how the story plays out; I can tell that this is going to be one of my favorites this season. |

| This episode just made me love Erica even more, oh I am going to be realllllllyyy looking forward to see more of her with Godou. Lol there sure are a lot of funny moments in this anime, haha that scene with Erica's introduction was great. Hmmm so Liliana works for Duke Voban, another campione. But it seems like she's going to be in Godou's harem though, oooh I am interested to see her change sides later. She looks very cute too from what I can see in the ED and OP. I am hoping this will end up being a 2 cour show since from what I heard there's a lot to be covered. Though for some reason I got a bad feeling its only going to be 1. |

noireo said: Now that I think about it, it really was more than one week.Its 6weeks in the LN i thinks. The duel with erica lost its cool compared to the novels, its more funnier with what happened with the boar. |

| Even when Erica said that at the end, I still feel a sense of doubt. I really hope her love for Godou is true though because they're great together. |
| So far, I like this show. Although according to those who read the original story, the story could have been played better... btw from what material did this anime got adapted from? Light Novel? Manga? |
| It got adapted from the Light Novel. |
noireo said: Well, some of his abilities aren't as strong as the authorities of other campiones even when they are similar in nature. @njd09 His authority is bound by rules because he got an authority that have 10brench authorities. If not bound by rules, its the same as having 10authorities, in contrast to that if he got an authority without branches he would have absolute authority like other campiones. BTW i think the rules are set by Pandora, his step mother. And Godou fights are more cooler in the LN. |

| If they run with the premise, this anime might be OK. The male lead is retarded as usual and a total right off But Erica's character could be developed into something interesting. There's fanservice, but it isn't over the top. Enough to warrant a 3rd episode. |

TwinBrave said: This is a harem anime,what did you expect?You most probably dropped every harem--wait no, I mean EVERY anime there is, since it happens pretty much in EVERY anime there is with a school setting these days at one point or another.It's like hearing someone dropping Medaka Box because Kumagawa got transferred into the school. Fucking cliche transfer student, while sitting by the window. DROPPED. |

| Woah,there is almost 90 degrees change to erica's personality if it is not 180. |
 |
| Sometimes...too rushed is not a bad thing. |
 |
| Nice anime, <3 openning |
| Its like watching a mix of Guilty Crown and The Legend of Legendary Heroes, except worse. |
|
| ... DID YOU JUST TORE DOWN THE COLISEUM, GODOU?! YOU FUCKING CRIMINAL, THAT THING WAS WORTH A BILLION TIMES MORE THAN YOUR LIFE AND NOW IT'S A PILE OF RUBBLE AND DEBRIS! WHY DIDN'T YOU FIGHT IN YOUR MASS-PRODUCED JAPANESE CITY, AT LEAST IF A BUILDING WAS KNOCKED DOWN, IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SUCH A LOSS FOR ART!! |
| The OP is nice, but the show is so rushed, it's lame. This could've been so much better. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

Anyway I was posting here to tell you all that Yui Ogura's first single is out with the Full version of Raise. |

| Here's my opinion: A godstory with a MC, who is gay beta as fuck, including a brainless harem with shitload of fanservice. Stay generic, Japan, stay fucking generic. pic fucking related |
