This show is just not right, I think I'm the only one who absolutely disliked it. Dropping it.

I'm looking forward to this. I haven't read the LN or the manga yet, but maybe I will - depending on how this turns out.

This show needs around 2-3 episodes to get hook into it if you don't read the Light Novels I think.

Finally got 'round watching this anime. It seems so generic, cliche, random and cheesy but I really like it! xD Suguha/Kirino VA voicing Kotori is perfect. I like how she has a really tsun personality. I find it even more hilarious that the Sugou (from SAO) VA voices the vice-commander who is pretty much a masochistic-weirdo. So purple-haired girl is a Spirit and Origami has to kill her. Purple-haired girl seems like the best girl though.
I lol'd so hard when it was revealed that Shido's training is some dating sim game. Of course there has to be panty shots and close-up shots in this type of anime n_n This is like my guilty pleasure for the season. xD

This episode was absolutely and totally awesome. As a fan of the ecchi and harem genres, this show has everything I could possibly want: a fantasy story, gorgeous art, hilarious comedy, likeable characters, and some nice ecchi.

If this show executes properly, it could be a top five anime for me. As a matter of fact, it reminds me of Kore wa Zombie Desu ka and that in itself is exhilarating.

-So, another generic harem anime.
-Imouto's sadistic personality change was quite sudden
-The Vice Commander guy (CV: Takehito Koyasu!) was funny as hell
-The black haired heroine had a pretty cool armor design. Though fighting with a big sword didn't seem realistic when against a cluster of missiles
-YoumuOrigami seemed like a generic kuudere
-DAT ASS
-Overall, it seemed like an enjoyable first episode, looking forward to the next

I might have to throw this into the dropped barrel. I do like the concept of the series but to have the little sister (who is 14) the head of some secret organization. Sorry, I can only suspend my disbelief so far. IMO this is scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Honestly that was pretty bad. A Sister that doesn't even act as his sister, inb4 he's not his sister (Wild Guess) because they don't even resemble each other at all. Also the whole Dating Sim game thingy training was stupid meh 5/10.

The series would be much enjoyable without that bratty dual personality sister.
Plus, I'm digging those armors especially Tohka's. Love her armor,hated her sword design. They don't match.

Will continue watching just for Tohka.

So, it's basically Infinite Stratos meets Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai?

(Imouto also reminds me of Anzu, and there's the military music, so let's add a little Girls und Panzer to the mix...)

There is always one or two anime series each season that are almost completely unoriginal, reused and recycled, obvious, simplistic, nauseating, and worthy of being labelled: "Garbage". This is with out a doubt, the first of 2013 Spring. An anime is bad when you can't tell if it's supposed to be an ecchi or an action. That being all there is necessary to say, I still have more. The battle attire is dumb and borrowed, the character designs are 0% unique, the art is lazy and low quality, the concept is just stupid (Black holes wiping out sections of the earth, that are really caused when two high school girls are clashing swords with each other), and the plot is to fast. Plus his little loli-striped panty-flashing sister is the captain. Yeah, fuck this shit. The only thing it has in its own name is the black hole part, but you could say something like that was borrowed from Mirai Nikki if you wanted to! A good action is realistic and does not need to over sexualize every single female heroine to increase the audience, and then borrow every single side-character from another anime (Great example: K Project). A good ecchi does such a good god damn job at over sexualizing the female characters, that you find yourself completely dumbfounded and amazed, at the end of every episode, by the crazy lengths and limits the echhi had gone to, like in To Love-Ru Darkness. This show will be almost no better than Da Capo III. You'll be wasting your time with this series people, try something like Devil Survivor 2 instead.

Been wanting to watch this after reading the brief manga and I am loving this start. The art looks great as well. Kotori's so cute here and Tohka looks beautiful as well. That short fight scene was pretty cool too and I was loling a couple of times in this episode. Looking forward to more of this.

Adding the word "generic" is such generic expression for those who are not into harem.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.
