Not bad so far!

I liked this episode better than the OVAs. Well, the violence is there with the drama especially during that hostage scene. I also liked how Nenene talked to that jealous guy who doesn't deserve recognition for his work tbh. Ah, and the paper sisters. Epic.

O, and the airplane scenes were priceless XD

This is one of my favorite series, it has all the charm of the OVA's without the drawbacks. If this is your first time watching it, I envy you. From start to finish its a great ride (one, maybe two meh episodes, but it all builds quite nicely to a very satisfying conclusion).

It was a very good first episode, exciting and introducing well the characters. But the absence of Yomiko is a hard blow.

3/5 Not a priority.

Well-paced and pretty, although later episodes of series tend not to look as good as the first. I like how even in the big climax the heroes had limitations; Anita's first attempt to get in fails and Maggie was having trouble lifting the whole plane.

It's amusing to imagine that Nenene grew big boobs because she admired Yomiko so much.

Very impressive action and imagination! Great chemistry between the likable characters. They're not the most unique characters but I hope that they won't get stale over the course of the series.

I liked the OVA, but this appears to possibly be even better! Nenene really isn't afraid of anything, and those sisters are great with paper.

This seems a lot more interesting than the OVA already. However, out of the gate, it seems like a completely different series. I'm unsure if the OVAs were like a one-shot/side story, or if it was a general idea that got reworked into this? Looking at the adaptations there seem to be a lot of different stories set in this universe.

This is also PG-13, so I'm guessing once again there will be no nudity, despite the once again misleading OP. But, we did get a middle finger from the wonderfully crass Nenene, so at least there's that.

Why do these three sisters all have the same power Yomiko did? That's throwing me off a bit in terms of how this series fits into the overall story.

Anyway, so far so good, I'm looking forward to more.

Godlike 1st episode! I'm hooked to the characters, the action and emotionally.



Coming from the OVA, I'm really excited to see Yomiko and the others again, let's see how they come into play and if Sumiregawa Sensei will meet her precious friend again soon.
