Posting my impressions as I watch the episode:

2 minutes in: Trying to be snarky about something cliche doesn't make it any less cliche
3 minutes in: Damned fanservice
4 minutes in: Well at least the OP is decent.
5 minutes in: I feel like an idiot watching this. Please let's move on from the osananajimi character, please? please?
6 minutes in: I just remembered I haven't eaten lunch
6:30: That reminds me of the seafood buffet I went to the other dat.
7 minutes in: Huh? A grateful protagonist.... oh nvm, they went back to the fanservice shot. I though they were obeing original for a second
7:30: Wait bulletproof what?
8: For god sake someone kill her already
9: Why does Japan keeps living on the 19th century with respect to women? It's not funny anymore.
10: Wow, we have a semblance of a story and its only 10 minutes in.
12: sounds like a magnet school, alright.
13: stock footage ftl
14: Now its making me feel like an idiot again.
16: Agreed Aria. Double personalities are just weird.
16:30 What do you mean the protagonist is not a pussy?
18: What that was actually funny. A Tanaka Rie tsundere that doesn't totally dominate the male, color me impressed.
18:30 where did she kept those? Hammerspace?
19: Uff, we are back to cliche territory with the random male sidekick. This series was getting too original for its own good.
20: One would think they'd have regulations against using guns inside a class.
21: Nice protagonist. Shut her up.
22: Infinite facepalm works

A Tanaka Rie tsundere? My word.

Err... I meant Kugimiya Rie. That happens when you do live commentary I guess. :heh:

Sounds like you were not impressed :p.

Just started this today and I won't pass judgment on the series yet. People have told me that the first 2 episodes were generic but from episode 3 the action picks up and get's good. Will judge it then :p. Guess I'm feeling a bit more lenient than usual today ;)

lolz for Kinji's Macindows laptop @ 8:46 XD
