Berserk in a good way. I admit, rabid Kugyuu fanboyism takes over at times. But I am proud to be a Kugyuu fanatic so its fine.

Overall, I guess it was alright I guess. I haven't read the manga, so I'm not sure whether it's supposed to get better or worse from here. It was very VERY tightly focused on Ryuuji and Taiga for this one, and I think it needs a bit more than that to keep me interested. I'm more than willing to give it the benefit of the doubt though.

That bird was seriously fucked up though. Bird tongues are like... the worst fucking things imaginable.

A good start. I just hope it won't feel like a fourth season of Zero no Tsukaima, with all the dog calling

Quick summary and screen caps

It's hard to imagine that he gets worse
Also it seems they covered up to two thirds of chapter 3 of vol 1

Then sounds like they're covering quite a bit. They'll probably pass the manga in no time. Good to hear it's looking solid. Can't wait for the fansub to come out.

Sterling01 · 2008-10-01, 13:41

From how it looks if JCStaff does it right they could cover up to vol 4 of the novel

kaosmos · 2008-10-01, 14:00

love it!

but i'm kinda sick of the tsundere rie kugumiya...taiga being awesome save it this time tho.
(the punch scene=ouch)

i just feel bad for the mc,doing all of this with no reward,no even a word of thanks.
hope he get to reb--*taiga clench fist*....nothing.

Hazelshock · 2008-10-01, 14:22

Just a note this should be moved out of unaired (Sorry for irrelevance

)

Midonin · 2008-10-01, 14:25

Unaired is for shows that haven't aired or don't have fansubs yet. So the move can't be made until the first episode's subs appear.

typhonsentra · 2008-10-01, 14:28

Wait, I thought it wouldn't air until 10/2. Right now it's 4 am in Japan, how are people watching this?

Ahh okay, I was going by the Wikipedia page.

And looking through the picture captions, wow! they're going to burn through this series way faster than I expected. 3 episodes per book is a ridiculous pace.

margafred · 2008-10-01, 14:41

Spoiler for Screencaps:

Overall was good and okay,with first episode covers nearly 3 chapters of the manga version (i don't read the novel

).Yea..the "inu" really brings this series almost equal to that ZnT,but i think this can do better than ZnT in overall.Kugimiya's typical voice as ever,doing the tsundere loli ojou voice for Taiga.Even Junji Majima's voice is not bad for Ryuuji.

From the way it looks,think i'm gonna stick my nose on this series.It surely interest me to see ZnT like style anime taking place in a modern world,especially in a high school.No magic,no pervert stuffs,only high school life with romance and humor.Hopefully they don't give this series a batshit storyline or cliffhanger ending like ZnT 2nd season.

Gay boy ninja = Miharu, from Taikutsu Nabari no Ou
Psychic squirrel = ...What was the name again... Momotarou? = Zettai Karen Children

musume_no_hoshi · 2008-10-01, 15:44

I really enjoyed this episode, thankfully there's no fanservice <3 Kugimiya Rie was better then expected, I was expecting a total louise, but this time it's slightly lower. High school romance with humour happens to be my favourite genre and the characters look interesting. Animation is good, no complaints from the animation

Taiga is cute~ I might like her as well as Shana for a tsundere loli.

Despite many people dislike J.C staff, I just happen to enjoy what ever they make. They're my 2nd favourite animation company after KyoAni, although they don't stick to the orginal material, I tend to enjoy alot of their shows.

Now is not the right time to talk about those roles. Kugyuu delivered on this one, so this marks ToraDora! as her second show that I'll be watching this season. The way Ryuuji fell into submission can only be done by a master tsundere.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1 thoughts: As expected of JC Staff... If there is something they can do, it's animation. Too bad they went so far that in that locker scene, Taiga's fingers were bending in angles I believe are impossible... Well, this is a surprise. It was a lot more tolerable than I expected... Guess it's because I don't have to read lines of kanji and can watch the whole rather meh story animated. Decently funny, and the story is moving at a good (maybe a bit too fast) pace. It's also a relief that Taiga's voice is less annoying (AKA, Louise-pitched) than I expected. Only two parts I found dissatisfying: 1. Minori's voice... I think most of the voice actors here fit, but I didn't really like her voice too much. I got a bit of an impression of someone holding one's nose while talking... 2. If only the character designs were a bit more loyal to the original... Hah... Too bad Taiga's tsundere-ness resembles Louise's... Where the "tsun" involves the female being abusive to the male in some way... Then again, in anime, it's typically allowed for girls to abuse boys, but not the opposite. I wish Taiga got some punishment for what she did this episode... (-_-) ED was also unexpectedly good. Not great, but watchable every week. No OP... Preview: Fast, fast... Already here... So far, so good. Too bad you can't let your guard down when it comes to JC Staff. ^^ __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
