Well there goes like 8 months of hopeful ignorant anticipation right down the toilet. Another possible hit ruined by pointless fanservice.

Wow, what a crap adaptation. They butchered the story from the manga pretty badly. Guess I should've expected that from a 10 episode adaptation. Not only are they rushing a lot of the story, but they're rewriting have of it, and rearranging the other half. I've never been this let down by an adaptation in just the first episode. You could claim that it might get better in later episodes, but there aren't that many, and they changed some major plot points with just this first episode alone. I don't get what that glowing power up for Sakuya was, but it wasn't in the part of the manga I read, and I read pretty far.

As for the fan service, wow that was terrible. I'm not saying the Manga doesn't have fanservice, the MC has plenty of Rito moments for himself, but at least it wasn't jarring and thrown in randomly.

All I can say in the end is that I'm glad I started reading the Manga before watching the Anime. I would have likely never picked up the Manga after seeing this adaptation, thinking it was just as terribly written.

I recommend anybody not enjoying the Anime to at least give the Manga a shot. I can't say it's amazing, but at least I can say it's much better than this Anime.

Overly tsundere blonde chick, but it seem entertaining enough, I'll see how it goes. This season has a lot of harems/ecchi, which is all good to me, but Isuca's got a lot of competition, at least for me.

Is the manga really that different? the story seems decent enough although not exactly original. Kinda like Inukami except with more ecchi.

That moment when you were expecting an anime without even knowing that it would be ecchi...

And I doubt that the censorship will be removed on the blu ray, doesn't seem like that kind of show.
Otherwise... well... fuck... :/


Actually, it's almost certain that the censorship will be removed. Some skilled people alread did screenshot contrast filtering and confirmed the existense of nipples underneath those black rays. Also, the same thing goes for Shinmai Maou with their white fog.

Had high expectations for this show since it's airing so late, and it didn't disappoint.

2 seconds in, tits. After that, tits and asses. MC's buddy kept preaching about how "bigger tits are better, and they hold the dreams of men". Literally might be my animated self.

Lots of censors, but that just means the BDs are going to be fucking amazing.

Art was good, nothing to complain about. Anything inconsistent was super minor. Flows a lot better than say, World Break.

OP wasn't bad, but sounded more like something out of Love Live. Didn't really fit well. ED wasn't bad.

Fight scene wasn't terrible. Lasted more than 2 minutes. Contained powers and an info dump, instead of all one or the other.

Looking forward to seeing cat girls tits. eventually uncensored. Dat nurse, Would have accepted marriage proposal/10

Everyone bitching about how bad it is and bitching at ARMS...Unless you were a manga reader expecting a faithful adaptation, you have no right to complain. Manga readers can be upset they aren't getting what expected, just like with Tokyo Ghoul, but everyone else should know what to expect going in. Read the genre tags and synopsis. Not fucking hard.

*sigh*

What can i say. cliche as hell. I really dislike how the main character looks really... bland or boring. He is pretty munch a pussy. He let himself get stepped on by a girl and then he let himself get in a choke hold. wtf. And then he did the thing were he couldn't just stand there and watch her suffer, he had to go and help her etc. etc. He prety much gets treated like a dog by the blond bitch. And the fan-service; it could have done it without it to be honest. This anime just feels like, generic, or like i said, cliche as hell.

I might just stick around just to see what happens next but i am guessing what will happen next. 5/10 for the first episode and maybe even overall, i don't think it will change but lets see.

wahhh wahhh this was cliché, that was cliché wahh. If this isn't your first time in the genre, then you have no right to be surprised or complain. They are all the same. You know what to expect. Unless you just have a terribly bad case or moronitis.

She just had to be tsundere... Why did she have to be tsundere? Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a good tsundere from time to time if the character is written properly- but this time we could have done without the tsundere.

Bah! My expectations going in:

Excessive fanservice... Check!

Excessive censoring of the excessing fanservice... Check!

Generic ecchi/harem plot... Check!

Weak MC that has some kind of Gary Stu power... Check!

Looks like it's all here. All in all, could be worse. It's not as good as Absolute Duo, Fafnir, World Break, or Maou Testament- so it's not got a chance at being one of the top ecchi of the season, it's at the bottom of that list really. But, I have seen much worse.

OP was okay, kind of just killed it right after the ED started though. Voice acting was decent, some of the school kids sounded rather annoying but I imagine most of them are just minor support roles we'll only see minimally.

I know nothing of the source material, so I'm not going to be biased and base my judgement on something this clearly isn't. All in all I'll give this episode a 6/10.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

This is a great example of poor story set up and rehashing of the most tired tropes with utterly uninteresting characters. It's not even worth wading through all the crap to get to the fan service.

But on the bright side, if you drop now, that's one less show to suffer through!

Fanservice, by its very nature, is NOT 'pointless'. I wish people would stop saying that. Just because you don't like it, or think it doesn't suit the anime or situation, doesn't make it pointless. I like fanservice, and since there's so few anime each season that has any, i'll take it where i can get it. That said, this show still wasn't all that good. People call it cliched and they're right. I'll keep watching it cause i don't mind it, but i'm hoping the story takes a turn for the better. That Sensei was pretty cute, she's my fav character so far.

so I read about the manga a bit... so it's somehow different from the anime... I had to admit It was funny in the anime where the scene he went to the sensei and as for an approval for him to find a part time job, and she joked around why not be her husband cause it pays.. I lol'ed at that part while in the manga.. she directly sent him to where he might find one...(w/out spilling that joke why not be her husband)...

I'm starting to get really pissed after seeing countless worthless anime this season and this one of them. Almost every anime is just a run-of-the-mill ecchi/harem anime without quality, plot and interesting characters. It's just all about having fanservice and showing boobs and shit all the time. I'm really disappointed with this, I'm not gonna support such anime.

Shinmai Maou was confirmed even before airing that the BR version would be uncensored and with new lewd scenes.

As for Isuca, I say that I doubted because they simply censored everything (excluding the "whore" at the beginning), I mean, they even censored underwear, and most of the times the girl had the clothes covering the nipples, so it was a pointless censorship.

Problem? Doesn't matter.

Problems? I didn't see any.

So far I'm only sorrowful that it will only be ten episodes... And that centipede/millipede lady at the beginning was... Not what I was expecting. So I don't think I would be too far off in assuming that some fights may end up a bit gory... I really like Sakuya... As for Shinichirou... Maybe a haircut, but he's still cool enough.

This is... well..... rather sad. I honestly don't like this anime. It isn't like some where the plot, characters or animation is boring, but it just doesn't have any real appeal. Its just fan-service all over the place. The extensiveness of the fan-service makes it lose what little humor those jokes still have and takes up time that could be better spent focusing on a more important aspect.

I want to argue that. I believe there is a difference between "pointless fanservice" and "fanservice". A good explanation between the two was in the episode of Bakuman when Shuujin was teaching Aoki how to be panty scenes. In that episode he makes the point "you can't just show them, you have to reveal them as if by accident" (examples he gave were "bending down to pick up something" or "the wind blowing a skirt up".

A bit basic, but I think that does explain the difference. Pointless fanservice feels out of place, or as if the director has a quota of scenes and he just jams them in there regardless of the story. An animation that gave me that feeling was the ALO arc of the first season of SAO, both with Asuna, but more particularly with Suguha it felt out of place, even though all of SAO has fanservice, at least the other times it was as grating as it was in that cour.

Now a show like ToLoveRu can't have pointless fanservice because fanservice is the point of the show (and thank god for that) so whether or not it is out of place really doesn't matter; but in other shows, it can interrupt the show.

Another way to illustrate the distinction is to think about product placement. That is another thing that, when done right, can be done without distraction. Pizza hut in Code Geass is a good example; they made it a running joke with CC so it worked overall. But if the show just drops it in over and over again, with no attempt to blend it into the show, then it is pointless. Fanservice can be the same way.

Edit: oh should add a review. Even the cliches in this show were cliches. That is pretty bad.

I'm back, I've read all the chapters translated from the manga and I say they destroyed this so bad I want to cry. If you watched the anime and liked the story, but hated the censorship, I have to say don't give up on the manga, the story is better, the funny stuff is better, the tsunderes are better, the fanservice is better (no cersorship). No, the manga is not a masterpiece, it's kind of funny, but it is 100x better than this garbage they just "adapted" into anime.

The look of the first monster (exhibitionist centipede) looked like it could be a horror monster hunting anime, but from that point one it took a nose dive into a ecchi rom-com.

Also that Lightning beast, which was a grand disappointment compared the centipede exhibitionist. All he was there for is to launch attacks that strip away clothes. And he sucked power from the area to level up essentially? Why not, you know absorb lightning from the clouds since that would be a better source.
