Alright! VC has it's own forum! 1st ep was a rather "interesting" start. Hope to see more episodes in the future.

[ZeroForever]

personally i remeber welkin being a air head in the game also... but this eps just took it to the extreme.

way below what i was hoping for the first eps.

Finally, we get a more organized forum. Sweet.

First episode was a great introduction to the series. Beautiful animation (that's thankfully carrying over to the other episodes), and a great tsundere take on Alicia.

Here's hoping for many more good episodes.

[Bonta Kun]

well really not much to say about ep 1 but it got off to a great start I thought, Alicia and Welkin are great.

Does anyone else think the animation would actually be better without the lame Ink-jet alpha channel they have going on to simulate pencil marks ? This is like shugo chara and the plaid uniforms all over again.

It's so far been easy for me to look past it and not care, but I do believe it doesn't capture the desired effect.

I give episode 1 of this series a perfect 10/10 as there was nothing I could fault about it whatsoever

I just watched episode 1. And I don't know the video game but the anime seems really attractive.

But I must agree with Edgewalker with the pencil marks. When characters move, the design stay still; and it is quite disturbing.
Maybe after watching many episodes, I would not pay too much attention to that...

Yea, it won't take long to get used to. It reminded me of how they did something similar in Gankutsuou, and that was far more pronounced yet easy to get used to.

Hehe i wasn't disappointed one bit, thought it was great
