And yet for all that condensation, it doesn't feel like all that much actually happened in the epiaode despite everything being done on fastforward. Maybe the first volume of the novel is just poorly paced and the adaptation's decision jump through all of that get next one where something actually happens my work out in the long run. On the otherhand that call might have resulted in the patchwork scene transitions and the MC's verbal diarrhea which is moving at mach 2. Whatever the case I hope pace gets reigned in soon and plot starts flowing better.

Ryo-tas art on pixiv is starting to pick up so she's more popular than I thought. I saw one drawing named "Occultic Oppai", that made my day. lol So for what's it worth, it's nice that she doesn't just get weird reactions out of people.

But there are only 2 volumes out, unless the next episodes going to be really slow paced, I'm sure we'll get more detail on the first volume events alongside the second. From what I've heard, the first volume is mainly just separate introduction to the characters and they barely interact with each other like in this episode.

There is, however, a new Pixiv tag named after her that is used about as often as her name: Ryopai.

Well that most certainly was an interesting watch. I wasn't exactly expecting the huge tits. Also it seems to throw a lot of happenings at you like BAM! I do not necessarily dislike this method of storytelling. Need to know what happens next though.

[GDB]

I'm not even sure what I watched since it went so fast. Felt like a weird combination of Bakemonogatari, Robotic;Notes, and FLCL.

[Kuroageha]

It was ok, at the end all the hints were aiming at one person, though I admit it would be a female character.

But then I noticed the teacher had long hair.

[julioalqae]

i am sorry, but this one is really struck me to be a good one. like other member said, the complain about art and animation being bad is beyond me, it's in the good category at least but "if you don't like the art style" is different matter, the style has a sketchy lineart and no QUALITY whatsoever. Personally i like the style, it's not a QUALITY like Qualidea Code , it's the ART STYLE for sure but if some people don't like the style its fine.......it bring the style from LN quite well

for addition i'll put some my ryotas fanart doodle here

Spoiler for Gamotan:

[SeaDoor]

What the Hell?!! That was obnoxious. ADHD the anime? Perhaps my first time ever getting a headache from an anime episode. How does that one girl even walk upright?

I don't know about this one...

[Dengar]

ADHD the anime? I never thought of it that way. That's interesting.

[seiftis]

I tried so hard to like the 1st episode, the character design and animation were fine, but it just seems like a messy series. None of the characters appeal to me either

[bakato]

Animation's pretty good for A-1 pictures. The general consensus here is we tried to like it and we probably wanted to like it, but we just couldn't like it. ADHD the Anime indeed. Also, this and three other novels have been licensed for digital release.

EDIT: Episode 2 offers a little more mystery and intrigue with glimpses of a much bigger conspiracy.

[Requiem-x]

Well, wasn't that so much better While the previous episode did get me interested, this was also a good showing of what the show has to offer.

Spoiler for Spoiler:

The focus on mega-boobs shits to Myu and, partly, Shun, i.e, that mysterious kid with the hat from the first episode, who's a detective, and also a secret agent for... someone. Yes, I know, its kinda silly to not say the comitee right away at this point, but the talk didn't make it that crystal clear. Meanwhile, our main guy is now involved in a murder mystery with the help of a loud-mouthed radio friend, Aina's demon friend isn't such a friend after all and Ryopai really doesn't like having competition

Honestly, it did a pretty good job in setting up the mystery, as well as the "everyone is doing their own thing" feel, which makes it even more intriguing as to when and how it will all come together. Also, it kinda surprised me that (at least so far)

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Our MC doesn't have powers as of yet, but Myu does.

Nice change of pace, really.

[Stark700]

Yes, pacing feels much better this week compared to the first episode. The mystery will keep me watching for this show in particular the part about the murders.

[drawr]

Great improvement over the last episode. Characters have started to interest me and the annoying heroine with the giant tumors on her chest had low screentime. As long as it doesn't regress to what the first episode was again this series could be good.

[Wandering Soul]

So much better than the first episode. They slowed thing down and are starting to set plot threads up. These murders seem interesting and the detective seems like an alright character, so I'm sticking around.

[Kuroageha]

But why curse Gamotan?
And the strongest curse of all them to boot?!

Because the Boob girl is a sadistic airhead. She kept torturing the MC with that raygun thing in the first episode. I am betting that it turns out she is not human.

I still didn't understood that.

Anyway, that was a much better episode and I hope it stays like that.

[Cloudedmind]

Yep, I also enjoyed this episode a lot more. And I'm sure a great part of that reason for me at least is because we saw less of Boobs McGee and her idiot sidekick.
