| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ok so far, except l liked the train part. Simple preview, and using machine-dolls for battles. Apparently the main character "oversea"ed to England to get revenge. Still waiting for Nobu's and KajiKaji's characters. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Had been highly anticipating this. I like Raishin and Yaya's relationship already! |
| I'm not too used to the artwork yet but the train scene was kinda intense. Yaya is adorable though like I remember from the manga. Definitely seemed like an introductory episode. I can't wait to see more. The song at the end was also decent~ |
 |
| He is going to get beaten isnt he lol. The cgi is hard to get use to but the art is fine. Might keep watching |
| Yaya was great. From her flirting to her jealousy. I kinda pictured Ishihara Kaori's voice for her since Yaya is a bit shrill but Harada Hitomi nails it right. Raishin is pretty okay as well, though I could have done better than Shimono Hiro. Charlottle was also ok. But wow, fucking Nakata Jouji as Sigmund. Doesn't get any better than that. Can't say I'm a fan of the CG as it looks weird and makes the movements a bit stiff but I'll get used to it. I suspect this will be the aspect that will first get complaints in this show. The normal art is fine though. Storywise it's moving well but there's some details missed about the whole plot and all. It's more of a show don't tell aspect here. At least I've read the LN and manga so I'm not quite lost here. Overall it's still a solid first episode and I'm looking forward to more of Yaya. |

| ^Uh, the LN is the original source so of course they'd follow the LN, including its character design. >not liking Ruroo's character design. ( ¬‿¬) |
| |
| Hmm, I'll wait for 1 more episode to judge this show, but the CG is in my case a huge problem. That dragon looked laughable :/ |
| the character look like the cg they used in the index movie for the dancing parts........ so much cg o_o the train and models |

| Yaya kawaii yo. |
| If anything, I will watch this for Yaya. She's too cute with a little sexy on the side. |
 |
| I get Zero no Tsukaima vibes. I like the personalities of the characters and the setting, but yeah, like everyone else, the CG bugs me. Though I'll admit it's a lot less apparent than in Ars Nova. I'll keep it for the character interactions, and hopefully a decent story. The more Yaya, the better! :) |
 |
| They're trying to make the show look epic in the promopic. ／lol Gonna check it out tonight. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Yaya's voice fitted perfectly... I kinda hate how they mixed the CG in with the art. It is tolerable but still annoying a bit. |
 |
| Great Start. I just need some sunglasses to watch this, I guess. |
tsubasalover said: Still waiting for Nobu's and KajiKaji's characters. Same here :D That CG dragon...so ugly and feels out of place. The hook was nice though, nothing like action to start up the first episode. The whole puppeteer thing is interesting, reminds me a little of Zatch Bell. Seems like Raishin had a tragic past, looking forward to finding out more about him. I also like how he fights with Yaya, and doesn't just rely on Yaya to do all the work. At least it didn't seem like the other puppeteers were doing any fighting. |
| Awhhhh yeeee, a puppeteer anime I am totally going to stay until the end for this ride XD great first episode |
 |
| I kinda think the pacing was way too fast. Not really a fan of that fading transition effect either. |

| Good episode. Yaya's awesome! |
 |
| I loved this first episode, hopefully this can live up to my expectations and doesn't just fall flat half way through it. |
 |
| Okay I'm feeling this. Yaya is so cute and badass. Good first episode imo. Hopefully it keeps it up. |
 |
| It was decent. Felt it could have done a little better, not too sure where though. CGI was kinda noticeable, and not in a great way. Was a bit off I think. Overall plots kinda interesting, and I'm liking Yaya right now. |
 |
| the cgi looks terrible and so does the art style..its just ugly. and its everywhere! not to mention yaya is annoying as fuck! cant stand her voice! its like a drill in my eardrums! unbearable! 1/5 dropped |

| It's rare to come across a series that actually bothers me with the animation. Yaya was different than I was expecting. A bit annoying with her jealously, but its amusing how she teases the MC. It seems like our main pair is fairly strong though. So if there's more battles to show that off I wouldn't mind. :) |
MirorinOct 7, 2013 5:51 PM
| So far so good, even if it was only the first episode! Was it just me...or during the train part it kind of had a 3D Aspect to it? o -o I'm not sure though, but the whole thing looks like unique anime art....the eyes...outfits...machines...etc~! > W< Oh, and Yaya is so cute~! > W< |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| I've been waiting for this. A few detail is omited here and the pacing is fast but otherwise it is decent episode. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Pretty good start. Seems to be following the manga fairly closely from what I remember. Not really a fan of the art though, the manga Yaya is much cuter imo and the cgi is meh at best. Other than the cosmetics I liked the episode and will keep watching. |
| Good start. WANT MOAR YAYA Very cute :D |
 |
| That was great, better than I expected. Yaya is adorable and I like how she acts with her puppeteer. |
 |
| Yaya is like this more loli version of Momo. |

| Great first ep, but seriously hoping Yaya's constant trying to get close with Raishin doesnt go overboard and become too big a focus. Really liking the fact that Raishin actively fights too and not just sticking by the sidelines as his puppet fights and giving motivational speeches (like pokemon). Makes it more interesting i guess, more risky. |
| oooh tat was nice! like the main characters, plus the plot seems interesting too! (but cliche lol) |
| Art was weird but in general the characters felt similar to their manga counterparts. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| OreShura had this same light colored art which worked with that kind of series here it just doesn't seem right at all liking Raishin can't say much for others |
 |
| Off to a good start. I like most of the characters. |
 |
| This was an alright starting episode, the art in the show was kind of weird, and the CG was kind of poor and too noticeable. But Yaya is pretty funny although a bit annoying, her and Raishin make a pretty good duo so far, so I'll give this a few more episodes. |
 |
| Pretty good start of the episode, the battle scenes were enjoyable to watch in the 2nd half of it. Characters were likable especially Raishin and Yaya worked together to take down their opponents. As for the art, the animation, and the story I would say it's not bad but some scenes were a bit jarring especially those CG effects. Overall decent show, wonder who is he after in the end. |
| Seems like main protagonist Raishin's got quite a bit of backstory. Hopefully they go into depth later on. The CG is pretty terrible. 5/10 Hasn't exactly captured my interest, but didn't push me away either. |
This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| Well, at least he didn't get last place. The art style is kinda annoying especially their eyes and all the CG, but the plot seems interesting enough. |
| wow gay |
| ah the typical anime male lead..resisting the most irresistible temptations. First ep was pretty good, although loses points for shitty CG. Ill def keep watching tho. 4/5 |
 |
| Wow this is better than i expected, the story reminds me of Harry Potter with dolls. Raishin is such a cool guy, Yaya is your ordinary fanservice character to attract the lolicons. i think the CGI is so bright like Oreshura. 5/5 love it also for those who hate the CGI, anime is starting to evolve guys. 90`s - 2001 = Very low quality, darker CGI 2002 = the day when anime starting to evolve, quality gets brighter only a little, CGI gets bright only a little 2009 = anime evolves again, quality is getting brighter, 720P - 1080P quality, CGI gets brighter 2013 = anime evolves again, quality is super bright and it almost hurt your eyes, CGI is way too much brightness. |
