OP/ED
Aside from the rambling and terrible exposition at the start, pretty well done. Really did make me think of a much more solidly produced Rental Magica with actual villains and maybe a plot. Caps and whatnot. Blerg blerg. |

*go watch miyuki shouting:tatatatatatatata! for the tenth time in a row* but seriously:i found that one to be a nice surprise,didn't even know the title so i wasn't expecting much of this one. at the first second of the op i was like "another romance anime..?" then..nekomimi ...and then a spear..i was like... "ok,count me in" |

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Stupid, stupid TBS and their stupid stupid 4:3 broadcasts - they could at least just letterbox the damn thing rather than making it nearly unwatchable due to screwing up all the scene composition. Can anyone remind me of the schedule for how long it takes until the widescreen broadcasts start? Do I have to wait three weeks for the BS-i broadcast?

While i have to agree that this anime indeed gives off rental magica vibes, i would like to add that this anime has a better first impression than rental magica in terms of character. I don't know why ANN said that Akina is an "ordinary, powerless boy", because
Spoiler:
And for some reason, i couldn't help but be reminded of Kana from MInami-ke whenever Hime appears |

And Miyukichi (Sawashiro Miyuki - see avatar, sig, and blog post) really shows her stuff, when she gets the chance. I thought Fukuen Misato was good as Hime, too, as she was as Miyafuji in Strike Witches. BluWacky: The BS-i broadcast of episode one is on October 23, so three weeks it is. Mgz: The character designer/animation director is Kikuchi Satonobu, and this is the first time he has done character design or been animation director for an entire show. He was involved in Eureka 7, but just for the mecha in episode 40, according to ANN. He also directed animation for episodes of Rozen Maiden, sola, and other shows. Series composition (i.e., lead writer) is Hanada Jukki, who did Rozen Maiden, sola, Idolmaster Xenoglossia, and H2O. That's two good shows and two train wrecks, in my opinion, so I'm not sure whether to expect things to get more interesting or not. The way they planned the roll-out of characters and their abilities in ep1 was pretty good, however, I thought.
