| This was...completely different from the 1st episode. what the shit. |
| indeed they left some questions unanswered, however i think it was a pretty good start, i mean,it wouldn't be nice too if the episode was justa lecture about what is happening and the mc's personality |
 |
| Well Rinka is sexy and has some badass technique to match. That Skull-Crushing Psy-Kick!!!!! |
 |
| This is totally anime X-Men. Last episode we had Japanese Juggernaut and evil Prof. X and this episode we got a Wolverine/Magneto mix who looks like he'd fit perfectly in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I like it. 4/5 |
| Ga rei feeling all over again. Ep1 is not EP1 and Ep 2 is EP 1. |
| dunno how i feel about the anime adaption i was expecting funny moments and didnt get as much as i wanted :P i remember the manga being more comedic and funny and was hoping to see that in the anime :( and they made azuma alittle too creepy mysterious for me, i wanted to see him more goofy and friendly... the ost at the 'kicking her dad in the face' reminded me of detective conan =__= well the episode got the job done. though the events happened all alittle too fast and i wish azuma was better looking =3= |

I like it. 4/5 I was thinking that too. Most of these villain look like they could be in any marvel series. |
Botato said: Keten said: Yeah the manga is awesome, it's all around silly over the top action and comedy, when they remove the comedy it's just less fun than what it is supposed to be :|That kind of blows I guess, knowing it could have been even more hilarious. I'll judge it as an anime and not as an adaption though. I really loved the comedy in the manga, i was actually looking forward to seeing the funny scenes animated, its what made the series special. now i just feels like another average anime with superpowers and light comedy :/ |

kikohunter said: It's Xebec, they're not known for making quality adaptations or simply any great anime, period. You're right about the diminishing quality in production values in anime these days. Akame ga kill is also a great example of it, shaping up to be one of the worst product of White Fox so far. Then again, I can't really put the whole blame on them considering the material they have to work with.It's so sad how anime is nosediving in terms of qulity and production values lately and this series is a good example of it as well as many other from this season and the recent ones too. Can't these damn studios even put in enough effort to have a good pace, decent scene transitions and directing to make something that at least the viewers can't conplain in term of basic cinematography? Jeez, not adapting stuff from the source material is fine since it can't be helped sometimes, but AT LEAST make your product not look like something done by a bunch of teenagers working on a little clip for a school project or something. |
 |
| Horrible quality animation+fanservice = Xebec The first chapter was a thousand times better, but to be all action... |
 |
| nice episode |
| So disappointed with this anime adaptation. The whole vibe is completely different. It's less comedic and adventurous, more awkward and serious. The directors intention of making it intense just seems so forced in animation. Rinka is like a different character. Will give this another episode or two before dropping it since it's already ruining the image of the manga in my head. |

| I like the seriousness of the show, it's not too serious and not too comedic. I was sure I'd be turned off by the flying penguin, but this was a good episode. I'm gonna watch a few more episodes, I hope the show doesn't disappoint me. |
| yeah this suck.. on par with all of those shitty comedy-harem of this season.. at least so far. |
 |
| The OP finally~! :3 Umm...so....flying, golden fish? owo That's pretty odd, but it's cool how they like give you powers and stuff, Espers huh? owo Rinka is cute though~! D: I like her, and her power is pretty cool too: Going through objects and stuff..... Then there's Azuma who can teleport, Rinka's dad who is like a magnet or something, and Kobushi, or "Black Fist" who can become invisible. :3 Sweet....cool anime so far. |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| How were they able to guess that it was her dad that was attracting everything? And you're telling me her dad didn't even get slightly injured with all those cars crashing into him? |
| No yomi ? :( |
| Sword in hand, a warrior clutches stone to breast. In sword etched he his fading memories In stone, his tempered skill By sword attested, by stone revealed. Their tale can now be told |
| The world building episode... Isn't that red haired girl will become their ally from the first episode? Need to see more. Loving the premise. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| It's definitely following the same storytelling path as Ga-Rei Zero... and that's not a good thing. (best episode first, followed by "meh") That dude was thinking... "why is there a naked girl on my table?" The cops at the end were looking at that cleavage! |
  |
| Underwhelming episode. |
| It wasn't as bad as the first episode but still nothing special. I'm afraid this show will lack any characters to carry it. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| I feel like this episode sucked, a lot. Like it's incredibly hard to take the show seriously when everything is half assed, like the fight, explaining who the culprit was, or the lack of explanation for her father. Le Sigh. ALSO... is it just me or is the ED also a bunch of fanservice of ga-rei-zero? Like, those two girls in the ED are yomi and kagura... right? Or is it just Yomi? Because the girl stabbed in the ed at the end has the same eyes as Yomi... meh |

| This is Minani in the ending. |
| That was enjoyable. Wonder where those goldfishes come from :/ |
| Totally different from the first episode and I preferred this way of approaching the show. I've never read the manga and it's not convincing me to start but this show is enjoyable enough to stick with through the 12 episodes it's airing. |
| This was really boring compared to the first one and I'm not surprised they started with that. Hopefully, it gets better later on. |
 |
ChoiDalDal said: This is Minani in the ending. kk, makes sense, the character designs are way too similar. |
| This was an interesting second episode. Rinka falling through the floor like that was quite unexpected, albeit pretty much done for fan service. Azuma seems like the happy-go-lucky super-hero type, always stepping in to help when no one asked for it. In the real world, they'd call his type nosy. Still, how in the world did they manage to convince the police to take them seriously and that the girl they beat to a pulp was the culprit is beyond me. If anything, I would expect the police to try interrogating her when she wakes up, by which point she'll turn invisible, beat up the cops and then escape somehow. That said, I like Rinka and Azuma. Can't wait to see how these two develop. That dad though, was pretty much as crazy as any dotting dad could be. Can't wait to see whats in store for the next episode. After seeing all the comments here, I'm considering reading the manga too though. |

| Hopefully this doesnt turn into a generic super hero DC or marvel bullshit. |
Sol_Ou said: Hopefully this doesn't turn into a generic super hero DC or marvel bullshit. Lol yea, I second that. From the looks of the first episode it didn't seem that way, but this 2nd episode kinda points toward that direction. |
| I wonder how they'll deal with THAT character. Since the copyright problems that could stem from it |
Darklight0303 said: I wonder how they'll deal with THAT character. Since the copyright problems that could stem from it I think it's fine if the manga is doing ok.. |

Botato said: Darklight0303 said: I wonder how they'll deal with THAT character. Since the copyright problems that could stem from it I think it's fine if the manga is doing ok.. Yes them. We'll have to wait and see |
Darklight0303 said: Well I remember Botato said: I think it's fine if the manga is doing ok.. Yes them. We'll have to wait and see being cleverly designed in the manga to avoid it. I don't remember the other one exactly though :| |
|
| I had more hopes for this show but it just seems to be filled with dumb bullshit. I'm also surprised Marvel hasn't sued the shit out of these people LOL, they've even referred to a character called professor. Oh well, guess I'll just have to be content with Psycho-pass, Tokyo Ghoul, and ZnT |
| [size=200]MAL AVATAR SYSTEM BLOWS |
| Hmm a flying school of fish dishing out superpowers. That will be explained later on. Pretty good episode, some nice animation. |
 |
Sol_Ou said: Hopefully this doesnt turn into a generic super hero DC or marvel bullshit. It most likely will from the looks of things... This episode was thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless. A very fun show so far |
| i don't know everything, i only know what i know also your waifu is shit |
| Now the characters of the story was presented, the first episode was focused on the context, already this introduced the protagonists and how they turned espers the episode had a bit of action, fansevice and comedy, and all well embedded in the context, I get curious about the plot now |
  |
| Something about Kyoutarou just doesn't feel right. He seems a bit different from what I imagine from the manga. |

skudoops said: ...why did they feel the need to make her naked? wtf? It's hot! And second, if you're going to go through the bed, it'd make sense to go through your clothes |
| This episode was better than the first, IMO. At least, we had some damn explanation. I don't have much to say about this show except that Rinka is hot. X-Men : Japanese version. |

| Glorious boobs. But hey, when Rinka passes through objects, it is kinda cool. |
