Pretty average introduction but I have a good feeling about this show that makes me want to keep with it.

Average start. Hopefully it improves and not derail, but I doubt it.

Seems like this is going to be one of those cliche anime.

It´s a really great episode. But one thing I am curious about ist that:

At 17:45 (the flashback scene) it reminds me totally of Shakugan no Shana. I am quite sure that is a scene from shana or it is the previous Flame Haze...
Am I the only one who thinks like that?

So far nice episode. :)

I really see a strong friendship already with the main characters, i've already seen 3 episodes, but i look forward to watch more of it, it looks exciting though, just a few things i doesn't really like about it. But the first episodes was great.

Wow.. been so hyped about this ever since the PV was released. I love it, the characters, the colour used, the art, the background, the OST, pretty much everything, and I love anything that's To Aru look-alike ^^

I have to say, Yukina's bare neck with Kojou behind her, ready to bite her neck/suck her blood near the end of the ED sequence is really hot, she's blushing too XD

:P Pretty interesting Episode, especially that flashback at the end. Still kinda confused but i probably should read the manga then. Other than that, i can't wait for more episodes to come out.

Yukina is pretty badass btw. :3

Well.. I liked the sound when the main guy was going to attack the two demons.. Other than that I don't see how this show could be interesting at all. Generic visuals of the two characters :/

3/5

I was not convinced as did Tokyo Ravens, yet advised him, bah! The animations I do not particularly like the Silver Link I was getting used too well, I went back to the harsh reality! XD
The characters do not perceive them "charismatic", at first glance, maybe it's because of the first impact, but even in terms of costume design convince me! LOL
Drawings by Keiichi Sano after a quick consultation, remember to have seen before, beautiful, but have not been the best throughout the narrative, especially in the steps and into the shots from afar, too bad.
Color design is not very pleasant and even those of the scenarios I went to genius.
CG bad, for what little it is seen!
Plot no cue sensational as the narrative, it was not boring but not exalted!
For now, more than 3/5 I do not give!

Just picked this up today as i had some free time to kill and oh boy i have to say i totally did not regret doing so, how could i missed this anime at the start of the season?!

The anime kicked start with our kawaii female MC tailing the MC and then we had our first fighting scene where the MC actually saves some bad guys from the female lead (lol) . You don't get to see that often now do you?

The only problem i've had would be the amount of terminologies they're introducing in the series, but i believe we'll eventually pick them up soon, for now this piece does look promising so far, let's see how it goes from now :D

Nice first episode, this looks kinda promising.
If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive.

Not bad. I enjoy ecchi anime so this will be a blast, not to mention it seems to actually have a decent setting/background.

Lol pantsu shot.. twice, then her belly gives her hungriness away. I bet she is the unlucky one in this anime.
Looks flashy, will watch to the end.

Well, it was an okay first episode.
I like the character designs, and the animation is pretty okay.
Girl, if you don't want your pantsu to be seen, wear a longer skirt =_=
She is pretty cute, though....and I like her voice :3
MC looks powerful enough, but I don't dig his past...yet.
Ending song they used sounds like Highschool of the Dead's opening song. Same artist, I guess.

Mhm.. the starting seem promising.
Himeragi looks like very cute when she blushes. Such an adorable character.
Senpai doesn't look like a wimp or stupid either.. good enough for now.
Those pantsu shot LOL nice colour and pattern.

Yukina seems to be a badass and yet I think she's kind of cute. Though we did see a little fanservice (which at least it wasn't that bad). I am kind of curious of why our main character ended up as the 5th Progenitor.

The OP song sounds really freaking good.

Cool first episode. I really like the main characters. Himeragi is really cool but also super cute (blushing face). Akatsuki seems that he hides his power back. I'm so curious about what will happen.

The song was nice. Seems like a good show. :)

Quite good first episode.

Yukina really sucks at stalking, but is a badass with her spear. That's what you get for flipping skirts. Look out, Ruiko Saten!

Kojou and her got along fine in the rest of the episode.

Nice start. I started watching this anime because of opening song that I often listen on youtube, but I had no idea what the anime is about. It is good that the OP was at the end of first episode, because it could spoil some story.

funny thing: Yukina was embarrassed about her panties, but she has no problem with touching the guy she just met near crotch :D

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Been a long time since I've watched this but time to complete it now that the series is done.

For an italian passing through, Koujou sure got something nice to see ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
