Episode not really bad, has its flaws, but considering that this season I have seen even worse, I think it's less bad than I imagined last time.
Storytelling with ups and downs, the same with the animations, the firm has done work 8bit excelled during the fighting, but it was more than acceptable their work during the rest of the episode.
The drawings were not bad. Not bad even the opening and the ending.

First part was so incredibly cliche it was almost painful to watch, except for the 'daddy' part. Dem bad boob jiggles, dem ugly uniforms, dem awkward and unrealistic ways of falling, dem completely omitted combat scenes, dem nonexistent moments of actually forming a proper relationship with Tomoe and Julie.

Second part was good though, gave me the same vibe as the original but they cut all the good parts and I do not like that. Tora confirmed for best character, no one compares. Long live the daddy zone.

That "Ya" would be really annoying if 'ja' (pronounced 'ya') didn't mean 'yes' in my language, now it's (unintentionally) really funny.

I thought I would hate this anime, since I hated everything like this before it, (like Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance) but somehow this anime is borderline more tasteful, the characters have actual chemistry, and the humor is actually funny. And both the OP and ED songs are amazing.

Also a Scandinavian character, no matter how generically and un-pinpointable Scandinavian, is okay in my book.

I kind of get the impression that Tora knew exactly what would happen, and that he wasn't counting on Tooru to be his Duo. Inb4 Glasses X Barbarian.

Man, those Lucky Sukebei physics... I get how Tachibana's face could end up in Tooru's crotch from where they both started, but I had to go back and watch that improbable backflip a few times to fully appreciate it's ridiculousness.

Was it just me, or did anyone else really dig that "virtual chalkboard" they have in class? And also how it auto-downloads the board notes, so it's not a huge problem if the teacher flips to the next board too fast?

That fanservice with Tachibana, flips for dayz, literally, lol.

Tragic backstories are so 'bad' and so common now that I've somewhat lost my feelings for them. They're still there, just not as much as they were before.

The last scene where Tooru figured out where Julie was just amazing, hearing the bell from half a mile away, logic. I also thought that they had to say the oath under a witness (like the sensei earlier) so that it could register in the school system, and since they didn't, I kind of hope that making this "Unofficial-official" Duo Oath will have some complications, because it would just add that extra 'flare' between the two. People also said that this scene was a bit rushed for the series and I agree. You usually see scenes like that about midway of the series, where you can actually 'feel' the characters. I actually might get into the manga and check out he pacing.

Much cheese in lines, fine by me, they weren't too cheesy for the moment, lol

Edit: Nevermind, apparently it got registered onto their cards. I also just realized when Julie says 'Ja', it sounds like she's saying "iya", or "iya-da", and when she said it in bed, ahhh....

I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.

So far, the story and overall progression of this one are superior to Fafnir and World Break. That, and quiet white-haired girls like Julie are my vice. Don't care how overdone they are, lol.

I think I'll stick with this one.

I liked Rito smile at the end :D finally some plot comes to the scene I hope it ill be good.
It's strange that Tor at first didn't know about oath and few hours later he had it memorized without any time to read it as he was running around school grounds to find Julia. And it is stupid how he heard her small bells from ground level when she was on top of this tower... :/

Where do you see ecchi humour in this episode or anime? How can you compare DxD to Absolute Duo by comedy value and say that DxD is inferior if Duo got no ecchi humour at all? The only funny moment for me was in class when Tatu express himself without saying a word just posing as for a photo session (that is not ecchi) and maybe when julia said that they cuddled together...
or maybe a little more spicy comedy is too much for you and you like loli mild and boring anime?

No one said anything about anything being inferior to something else. What they were implying is how they get to the ecchi humor. And you've [i]clearly[i] seen what he/she was referring to considering you were talking about the psychics defying backflip XD. Although I will say this compared to DxD's first five episodes this is definitely loads better imo. Especially on the comedy scale.

Was hoping for Tora and Thor to team up even though I knew they obviously weren't.
That was a slow episode. The training session was pretty cool. Looking at these first 2 episodes, I wish it was a more serious anime, but I guess judging from the cover, it's obviously going to be mixed with ecchi.

Julie is darn cute. If there's one thing I like about Julie it's her innocence. I'm glad the fan service has only been with the fat chested girls and not Julie.

The lolicon fantasy shots of Julie are awkward. Fanservice doesn't bother me as long as the story is decent, but this thing is becoming inane, and the comedy isn't funny. I liked the last scene though despite being a little rushed, and the cherry blossoms looked really nice.

Mr. Barbarian is pretty cool. So Bunny-sensei gives us an info dump. Dat smile at the end tho.

So what have we learned from this episode?
Tomoe is clumsy, Tora is tsundere, Julie's bells are freakin' loud, and Tooru knows how to pick up girls.
"Mind? I want to." This is how you do it, Tooru, this is how you do it. But in the end, you still got papa-zoned.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Let's see, it's got ecchi and harem in the descriptors...I guess people didn't read the descriptors if they're getting upset about the fact there was mild ecchi in this episode. With only mild ecchi this is actually pretty generic, plus I haven't seen much in the way of character development or even much of a personality. Ideally you should care about each of the female characters in a harem, but if we don't know more about them how can we care?
Please don't feed the trolls!

So Julie is wearing panties under this pajama shirt.. Pink panties.. ;P Well, suits her cuteness.. ;p
What?.. Were they the only pair of boy and girl who sit next to each other during first lesson?.. These boys and girls might be a bit conservative and shy, really, if noone other sit with opposite gender nearby really.. That's a bit strange, but alright..
Teacher's cuteness is a bit distracting.. Hard really to both follow her words and her being all playful bunny..
So everyone was injected with Luciful, right?.. And gained their power - Blaze.. And person with such power is called Exceed..
What was the point of them getting one week partner anyway?.. It doesn't look like they worked on pair fighting or something this week anyway.. Just your usual theory classes, and running laps.. Well, there can be reasons, I guess, like to give chance someone who didn't have pair already to see a week other persons and find one for himself, for example..
Well, nice episode.. Julie and Tooru really got close together over the week.. I like, how Tooru helps Julie to learn Japanese writing, as well as they share apple tea, and bed together.. ;p Also it seems Julie for some reason is rejected by others, except for maybe Tachibana - maybe others are afraid of her or something?.. Either way, she's together with Tooru anyway..
It's also nice to see that Tachibana and F-Cup Hotaka also got close together, it seems.. Tachibana could seek for better mastery with Julie or something like that, but in the end chose Hotaka, as well as Hotaka chose her.. Well, it seems that these 2 pairs are happy with their choices, so glad for them.. ;P
