As someone whose read the LN and Manga I agree that someone who has no prior knowledge of this show will be a little confused, the LN also started out a bit rushed, but its going to start to smooth out and become clearer I believe I read up to the 7th chapter of Volume 4 and dropped it for a bit so I could read a different LN which had a manga and I was an avid fan of it. I started to re-read Volume 4 this weekend though. |

| First episode was amazing, good introduction and explanation of the setting. Definitely looking forward to the rest |
| Obviously there is at least one more character to introduce as we haven't seen the third girl in the simulation software (galge) yet. This may have some potential but there seem to be a lot of generic elements to it. At times it almost felt like they were going down a checklist (genki klutzy teacher with cute nickname--Tama-chan--Check!). Anyway I will invoke the Madoka three episode rule and keep watching, but I hope we can get better video quality soon. Edit: After rewatching with a better sub (but alas no better video) I am more impressed. Should be an entertaining watch for a season and who knows, it might surprise me. What a difference an extra 10% of dialogue makes. |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| So.. Umm.. Cute girls appeared out of no where causing devastating spacequakes that kill millions of people and to deal with them is to either kill them or date them..? That made so much sense! :D It's good to hear from Ayana again! Twin-tailed, tsundere, imouto for the win!! ^^ Origami would be perfect if she's any shorter :p |
IceBurnChaos said: This started out all sorts of sideways... I feel the same way. Haven't read the LN's. Probably won't. I watched all of Vividred Operation so I can take this. Holding off on vote. |
| This was much more entertaining than what I thought it would be :) |
 |
| ok..seems llike this was really expected...like the vn and manga are ay too famous, so forme who heard thet this comming out, but this is the first time im actually in contact with the story, i feel weird ... like what? was thiss too fast? and..kidou san really accepts thing fast ...like the loli commander imouto... still, i got this weird feeling that i enjoyed it and will enjoyit more Kyube said: I am still trying to comprehed this episode, but words are failing me. The best option should be forgetting everything and then reboot. Otherwise I may take some damage. i know that feeling bro NeoAnkara said: Elita_Again said: Thought Kotori skill cannot be compared to Keima.I think this might be the anime I'm most excited for this season. First episode was great and I can't wait for more. It reminds me a lot of Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai. saving the world with an eroge, sure, its not the first time, lets give this a shot |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Alright Alright. It was a good episode don't get me wrong at all. I actually really enjoyed it however... The concept is so fucking stupid it literally made me LOL. So long as they don't try to "force" a mature atmosphere I think this series will be great. It just needs to be what it actually is and not something else and I think the series will be fine. |

| I guess I'm the only one who was slightly disappointed... It skipped many starting details and I felt as though the pace was too fast. For those who read the light novel - I did likewise - we understand what is going on. However I believe for those who haven't wven touched the manga or novel may have been slightly confused at parts. I want it to slow down a bit, although the series is only alloted 12 episodes. The art was amazing however! |
| I love the character designs... I hope it gets funny and have some action... |

Good Nice Intro I enjoyed it I guess. this might become a fav. series this season. Just my thing i guess. (if anyone is wondering FFF just released the episode) |
| good start (like the character design) if they follow the LN faithfully we are in hell of a ride. |
 |
| Never heard of the LN it's based on. First impressions are alright. |
 |
| The first episode looks interesting enough to enthrall me for the next episode. Hope the storyline doesn't turn lame. So far, so good! |

| I'm a bit disappointed that they skipped the part where Murasame popped back a bottle of sleeping pills like in the manga, but not overly surprised. |
| I am the light and the darkness tossed away by fate. I am hope and despair needed by all and to none. I am CuresDestiny. Fear me or Not it is all the same to me. <insert maniacal laughter here>  |
| I like the premise of this, the sister is tolerable right now but I hope she doesn't become annoying later on. |
| Hope that the anime ends at volume 3 ending. |
| LOL @ the galge ending, it was the most interesting part of this anime that should have been a galge tbh. OK episode, though I don't expect a lot of things from this stupid plot and those characters. I hope the fanservice will be enough to satisfy me. |
| Fanservice everywhere. :D But i'm a guy so. . . I liked it. |
 |
| LOL, I like the switch of his sister's character at the later part of the episode. I prefer that one rather than your typical cute little sister. I won't expect much from this series, I hope the future episode will change my mind. |
 |
| I like the first episode. It looks al well done, I can't wait for the TV airing. |
| Just to be sure,Kotori is a sadist right ? |
| It's interesting actually, not really that awesome but it's the first episode so better I not judge it |
zakkun89 said: Just to be sure,Kotori is a sadist right ? Kotori has two personalities depending of the color of the ribbons she wears. Black = sadistic/tsundere. White = imouto/cute. |
| It's meh.. I will probably watch all eps, just hoping it get better. |
 |
| I like girls' eyes. |

Ahhh,I didn't notice the ribbons the first time. It seem to me like the black side is her real personality and the white side is just a facade though.I wonder if this is plot releated or just play for fun. And this is just a wild guess but |

| Kind of interesting setting but the characters aren't anything to write home about.... |

| well, that was nothing special imo. i actually didn't really like this episode. but i won't judge an anime by its first episode, so let's see where this is going. |
| I originally wasn't expecting much from this anime, but the "T-virus" part made me laugh and the science fiction based spacequakes made me intrigued for more. Definitely a step up from the stereotypical harem anime that I'm used to seeing, so I'll probably keep up with this show! |
 |
| Interesting episode. The story has potential but I hope it doesn't turn into some type of cliche harem type anime. |
| "What color do you want to be?" -Shiina Mashiro |
| What a random episode, from the Sister 180 Filp to the Funny Nurse that did the random fallout to the "Commander" being a M. will being watching this. also that woke up and was like wtf? like he was in The Trueman Show. with his bubble being popped. haha Also the girl in Purple love the way her eye were done such a sick color scheme. |
| There's a loli tsundere in the show? Instant gold! Naw, but in all seriousness, this looks like it'll be funny. I would've liked it more if there was an explanation as to why the spacequakes occurs because of the Spirits, but still, I think it'll be funny and watchable. |

| I was expecting this to be bad but that was epic. Didn't see any of that coming at all... The ost is what did for me though-- the perfect accentuation! I'm not one to notice the ost often, if ever so this deserves an impression in my book. |
| The sleepy teacher was awesome. Looks pretty good all in all. |
 |
| Woot it finally got adapted into an anime! C: Can't wait to see the next episode!! |
 |
| They stayed pretty canon to the novel, only snipped out a few minor parts so I like it ^v^ Also, the seiyuus are doing great, I'm especially liking Shidou and Reine. The only problem I have is the pacing :/ |
