This episode contrasted so much from the first. I'm really not looking for the main character to be one of those ditsy but determined highschool girls.

But seeing as the first episode was a flash forward, I'm hoping that the show starts to lean back that way.

Much better episode than the first one, although i'm still not convinced. Both main characters look really plain and dull. Not sure what to think of them yet...

Nevermind, giving it one more chance before dropping it.

Hmm, Rinka and Kyoutarou seems pretty alright so far. And I am really liking the animation effects of some of these powers. Everything felt a bit rushed to me though but I guess I can't really say for sure since I haven't read the manga. Meh.

Ah, they started to adapt the manga. It's disappointing, I liked the first episode much better. Also designs of the main characters are not as cute as in manga, which is definitely a pity, cause Kyoutarou in manga is cute as hell.
And the fanserbice scent was too long.

Peggy is super cute. And Rinka's butt is cute too.

Anyways, the opening is visually amazing. I don't know if I dig the song though or the ending song for that matter.

I hope this anime has more fighting scenes than all these cringe worthy dialogue lol.

I think the humor look slightly stupid. I think they should go more serious and leave the mangakas humor outside. They did it with Ga-Rei and it worked. The father scene with the cars was more stupid than amusing.
The first episode was better because it seemed more serious.

Other than that i have to wonder if the short blacked hair katana yielding girl is like a sister to this Azuma guy or something since they have the same power and she seems obsessed with our main girl which i suppose it has something to do with revenge. Maybe she blames her for her brother death or something.
Loved the Ed with her there and i have to say she seems to be more awesome than the main girl.

Dropped all these changes they did from the manga. She is suppose to have white hair all the damn time. I see they added fan service didnt bother me but i see where they going with it.


So annoying when manga readers considering every difference to be worse. What is the problem if her hair aren't white all the time? Maybe they had a reason. Give them a damn break. Ga-Rei: Zero was anime prequel of Ga-Rei manga and it made the manga look like shit in comparison. So give them a break, maybe they are changing things for the better instead of worse. Yeah it doesn't happen often but you can say something is shit based on silly little things like hair not always being white.

I am soooo glad I do not read the manga, because damn you guys are angry. Lmao. Considering how ridiculous the show is already, the fact that Rinka and her dad have changing hair does not even remotely bother me. The fanservice is a bit of an issue though honestly, but the beginning scene I understand, she fell out of her clothes, if she still had her underwear on it wouldn't make any sense....... Not that the series really has to at this point.
The only thing you should be mad about is the fact that they removed 90% of the comedy.


I am mad they left that 10%. ^_^

kk, makes sense, the character designs are way too similar.

It was neither good nor bad but since it's from the mangaka of GRZ, I expected more. Something tells me the studio's doing a bad job at adapting this or maybe I'm giving the mangaka too much credit.


You are giving the mangaka too much cretid. GRZ was as good as it was because of the animators not making it as silly as the Ga-Rei manga.

I am sorry but this is supposed to be a comedy. I don't know why you'd be mad that there's comedy in it.

Last week, I mentioned that the first episode reminded me of the X-men and this week they show me a character that looks like Wolverine. Not trying to suggest or imply anything, just a funny coincidence.

They toned down the second episode a lot so it felt like a completely different series with all the previous momentum gone.

the first ep was excellent and made me want to keep watching the anime but it seems as Barion-Zara said it's for attracting people to watch the series and the ending song and then Rinka falling scene is making me worry that it will be another fan-service based anime.

The first episode was on a completely different level to this. Probably going to drop it for now and see how the later episodes are when they come out.

6.5/10 for this episode.

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.

I really can't watch this. Hate it when random characters start doing supposedly "awesome" stuff without any introduction to the storyline.

This anime basically just introduces a whole bunch of concepts and character to you and expects you to accept them from the get-go. Except I don't, none of them appear interesting to me.

Not to judge, but the anime isn't doing a good job so far IMO. . But I don't like how Rinka's appearance change with her ESP powers. And the pacing is weird. Its like they did two episodes in one. And when the final battle comes, they got to do episode 1 all over again. The ending is really awkward. I don't know if it'll get better.

^Lol. There's Wolverine with Magneto powers.

Let's begin the episode with a naked girl. Perfect.

Hmm, flying penguin. (^_^) But yeah, flying fish are also accepted in today's society.

I understand Rinka being White Girl and the thief being called Black Fist.
Out of everything possible in the world, why did Azuma pick Crow Head? (T_T)

4/5

Episode that seems to annoy a lot, but in the second half, fortunately, the music changes, luckily!
The plot starts to become clear and make sense of it all.
Drawings with a double speed, oh well!
Narrative is not very compelling and stripped down.
I hope that the television series, best in the next episodes.

Hmmm...so the red haired girl's an enemy here, but she was clearly helping them in the first episode...interesting. Anyway yeah this shoulda been our first episode as our main characters were introduced, but oh well at least some things are cleared up now.

I now understand why some say it's similar to x-men, I mean...

Rinka = Shadowcat
Azuma = Nightclawer
'Black Fist' = Cipher
Rinka's Father = Magneto
heck, Esper = Mutants

I'm not hating on it nor am I a fan of the hair changing color but I'll keep watching since I'm a sucker for anything with superpowers.

Relation between Rinka and her dad is cool :D
I was thinking, isnt Azuma's power just a big upgrade to Rinka's?
Unless his teleportation power only works for places he's been already, or if he has a clear view of the place he wants to teleport to.

Decent episode though, have a feeling we're going to be watching a lot of these "past" episodes though.

Not a fan of some omissions from the manga.

Taking her underwear off during that initial floor falling scene gives me a bad feeling for how they are adapting this thing...

They also left out all the funny manga reaction faces, and made our teleporter guy seem much less quirky, which were some of my favorite things.

Meh.
@maskedmecha Rinka having underwear while going through floor would be unrealistic, good that they changed it in anime
