Weird episode so far. The OST is kinda comedic.

The superhero costume designs looks okay I guess. The bro moments were pretty nice to watch though. Reminds me a little of Tiger & Bunny. Artwork is okay I guess. The poses is kinda silly though and whoa, he is getting owned. I liked his little inspirational speech though. Not entirely sold on this yet but not bad for a start imo.

Another interesting show. Felt like homage to Capitán Centella. But unlike Capitán Centella, the male lead is weak. lol He is quixotic and silly, yet very serious, which I think makes the show entertaining. This type of heroic anime is fresh and unique to me. I like it.

It was like a warming-up episode. I think the series has potential though I don't know where the series is headed. I will keep watching.

Seems like it could be pretty interesting with that guy wanting to be a super hero and his relationship with the cop. Not my cup of tea though, seems like it might be more slice of life-ish

The idols still only exist in imagination and magazine cover.. .When will they appear in person?
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.

I didn't expect this to be more of a comedy XD

Couldn't help but laugh at the 'serious?' scenes hahaha.

Masayoshi is definitely a weirdo in normal people terms XD
Lol'd at the beginning when Goto saw him naked and he said "I'm not anyone suspicious, I'm a superhero" XD.

Loving Goto though. And being voiced by Sugita is a plus :D

I'm wondering who those girls are? I'm guessing the one in the middle is his gf?

I'm going to guess they are going to turn into some league of "super" heroes. After the credits the other guys from the OP were looking at flamenco/flamenco related media and obviously liking what they were seeing.

The episode was okay I guess. It was kinda slow and didn't really provide that good of a story intro for us, but the characters look good so far and there were some pretty funny scenes. I'll stick around a little longer to see if this'll develop into something decent.

That was really different from what I expected! But still interesting in it's own quirky way. Kind of a modern day Don Quixote set in Tokyo. I'm seeing a lot of comedic potential in episodes to come.

With the addition of Sugita, as his voice makes me blushy all around. It already had high hopes of getting an instant 10 (so fucking bias) But now that I actually watched it, I'm showing more obvious symptoms of an obsessed little tumblr girl.

Loved the characters, OST, humor.

My favorite this season thus far

Omg this was so great, I love the comedy and character designs. Is it a coincidence that Sugita is voicing another character that has "Hidenori" in his name? XD I love how after meeting Masayoshi only once, Goto and Masayoshi are pretty much good friends, Goto going to Masayoshi's place to watch the show with him. Great way to start their friendship. Masayoshi's speech was nice, so much truth. That Sawada guy looks like he was awed at Masayoshi's speech (or maybe he was just dumbfounded?). Anyways, I'm glad to add another comedy to my fall anime list :D

Interesting setting like Tiger and Bunny but somehow I am embarrassed watching the model guy do that stuffs. He looks delusional.... this totally turned different from what I expected.

But good to hear that Sugita voiced the cop character so still gonna watch.

Oh boy i like how there's a lot of good shows this season. This has that comic hero vibe similar to kick ass the movie i like the main characters and the dialogue is very good and the voice actors are doing a good but overall a very good start for Samurai flamenco.

Wasn't sure what to think for the first ten minutes, but then it picked up. Definitely better start than some other fall shows and I can clearly say I'm amused by what I saw. The artwork is a plus! I like my characters looking older than middle-school (at best) gals and boys, thank you very much.

The history is weird but I need more episodes to make a solid opinion about. So far I liked, and my expectations are big with it. I like the director, it's the same as Durarara, Baccano and Natsume :3

An interestingly silly start, really different from what I suspected. I wonder if there really will be super powers or if it'll just be in his head the entire time. Gotta hand it to Masayoshi though, that speech he gave to the middle schoolers had some pretty good points.

Spyair is great, loving the OP.

Well, I'm wondering if I watched the same episode as everyone else. Because if I'm being honest, I have to admit this was horrible. Still trying to figure out why I am the only one in this thread who thinks this. As someone said above me, its basically Kick-Ass but worst. I'll keep watching to see if I'm wrong.

I like it. I hope I finally found a replacement for Jojo. (They both have Sugita Tomokazu). I think that if other episodes will be as good as this one, then it's ok. At least it was better than I expected, especially after the disappointment of Kyoukai no Kanata (it was so bad, that I didn't put it on my list, just want to forget about it as soon as possible).

I also liked the friend/team theme. It reminded me a little bit of Bakuman, when they do the same thing, but from different points of view.
I think that the superhero theme is recurrent in anime. I saw it in Bleach, Dragon Ball and perhaps elsewhere.

Ok episode. I confess I expected a lot more for the hype, Noitamina and trailers, but at least showed cool characters and a good dose of comedy. Apparently we have a lot more characters to be presented, leading the girls, then yes I hope the plot gradually improve.
