Well, that was... different. Have they decided to abandon the gag series format in favour of a conventional magical girl formula? As much as I appreciate the upgraded animation and the detailed backgrounds, that's not what I watched the previous two seasons for. Let's see where they take this in the next episode...

Man, what a disappointment. That was pretty much on the Alternative OVAs level of seriousness. The new characters are all boring. I miss damedame Milky Holmes already.

GODDAMN IT, I though it was just a rumor that they were making this season all serious, like those horrible OVAs. DAMN IT, JC STAFF!!!!

Man, where's 20?! I watched Milky Holmes for the sany comedy and over the top animation. The Alternative OVAs was something different, but I was hoping it be a one-time thing. This isn't just the same...

I prefer the more serious Alternative versions than the main series, while the first two seasons of gag comedy was good, it always made me wonder if the series would be better if the girls had their toys from start to finish and those OVAs resulted in a better viewing experience for me, and it's more enjoyable to see a very competent Milky Holmes.

I am so, so very disappointed at this season after only watching one episode.

Will certainly keep watching, but won't be the same. Also, what's with the new design? I think I prefer the other one.

this is nothing like the Milky Holmes I loved T_T

Did Alternative really do that much better?

I guess I'll keep up with this one for now because the new Thieves seem interesting, but just...GIVE ME BACK MY FAILURE FOUR!! TT_TT

At least resolve the story in that. There was so much more they could have done.

That's really indecent, one of the worst sequel I ever saw: no twenty, no arsene, milky holmes aren't main characters and they catch a criminal.

Absolutely indecent. I hope this won't sell anything, it doesn't deserve it.

So this is like, more of a spin-off than a season 3, i guess?

I probably won't get used to this easily after having seen the first 2 seasons.

Eh, still better than the two previous boring seasons.

Also, it looks average? It looks better than most of the stuff that comes out. Good is something else of course.

I don't know if this guy's joking or something.


OT: One of the worst first episodes I've seen to date. The very first time I'm angry at an anime for reasons already stated before in this thread. I heard the second episode was marginally better, though.

Timeline:


The X axle is the time and the Y axle is how serious/comical it is.

The order from top till bottom is:
- anime series (s1,s2,ss),
- The smart phone game
- New series
- Alternative series
- psp game series

As you can see on this graph the new series does not belong to the old series.

Phh. But the animation really was too good for such a show. Although they simplified the charadesignes. And I don't mind such a change actually. I'll watch it after all the eps come out.

And you still can't call it the spin-off. The atmosphere is totally different but there are no plot non-fitments. We just don't know what happened between the end of S2 and the beginning of this one.

Arsene disappeared. It's a pity but nothing wrong here.

Only Kokoro presented from genius 4. Kokoro explained where are others.

Milky Holmes became serious and thay are heroes now. But they really saved the Yokohama and they tried to get the studies serious at last at the end of S2.

And so on. I could understand why people are disappointed but S2 failed in terms of sales. People just thought that one season of that plot was enough so this time studio tried smth different.

It is, but it's still nowhere near worthy to being called a 'good show'. I have hopes for episode 3 though.

I wasn't aware that each ep is only 12 minutes long so that's probably why it felt quick to me. It feels very different to the previous seasons with the absence of returning characters, even the Milkies themselves if it wasn't for the last scene. I'm interested to see how this one compares.

Even though I don't like joining majorities, I also have to say that I'm disappointed. I was prepared for different main chars, but I was trusting on them to at least be funny in their own way.

This episode was so serious, I can't even remember a single funny moment. In fact, the entire first half was just serious talk between two girls who I couldn't care about yet because it was the first time I saw them.

Well, I'm still hoping that they just messed up the introduction and get the hang of it later, but I'm not really optimistic.

Without surprise, i found this episode extremely boring, nothing funny, bad animation, 12 min-long episode... The producers don't have much hope for this anime :(
Gonna watch episode 2 anyway, but i'll most likely drop it. Another great license completely destroyed :( :( :(

Yup, this really is more serious this time around, meh. It certainly felt weird, when you are used to the comedy aspect in the previous seasons. I am gonna give it a try though.

It's...certainly not what I was expecting, but, in any case it reminds me of how the first season started off seriously for the most of it. Season two apparently never happened...but I'm fine with that, I personally liked the first season and far less than didn't the second.

I will miss the other gentleman thieves though, hopefully they'll return later this season. Or perhaps the phantom colors, will have a colorful cast, no joke intended.

This season is really confusing, and I really don't think I can consider it a 3rd season at all. If anything, I'd say it picked up where the OVAs left off. I mean, the 2nd season left off with Milky Holmes losing their toys yet again.

If they were going to suggest something like this for the 3rd season, they should have named this accordingly like, AU, or something.

tbh i like this season a lot more than the previous two. but that might be because i don't find the really loud, noisy, over-the-top comedy of the previous two seasons very funny.
