Hand Maid May + Sky Girls

Not really a fan of Sky Girls but for being like Hand Maid May alone is enough to keep me interested. Plus all these dolls like girls (especially Ann) are just so cute!

Ahh yeah I loved Hand Maid May back in the day. But I better be quiet, I'm aging myself in front of the youngsters...

I like the series so far I just hope we don't have another battle of the week show, I'd like something a lil different that.

Let's just hope that we don't get any baka rival like Nanbara from Hand Maid May...

Just watching first episode and my first impression is............boring!
Nothing interesting so far beside a bunch of cute dolls with human intelligence fighting each other. Feels like watching Infinite Stratos albeit without a single male wearing mechanic suit (poor you, Ichika).

anime of the year.

If only it didn't have the fighting scenes it would've been perfect...

Wild Goose · 2012-10-09, 12:32

Impression this show suggests to me is that Hina wants it to be a battle of the week show, while Ann, Ines and Lene are going to drag her into the slice of life genre, and teach her to open her tsundere heart and accept a two-way outpouring of love and affection from the trio and Mastah.

Sure it would have been a lot better if they practiced "light music" after eating cake and drinking tea

Anyway, looked good, plus facing everything up from 15 cm was interesting and funny.

Spoiler for Busou Shinki 02 - How to Defend Against Fresh Fruit:

blitz1/2 · 2012-10-11, 15:51

Okay. So far, the personalities revealed are:

Arnval = Osana Najimi
Altines = imouto
Altlene = Maid?
Hina = Serious, soldier like.

YES, next ep will have Yda and Ach! xD

Arctic_Kitsune · 2012-10-11, 16:59

Loved this episode as well, if a bit excessive on the fan-service side. Quite nice seeing Strarf make herself at home, if a bit on the shy side. Her tsundereness is cute here.

About two weeks late starting up this fall season.

Ok. So, this is the TV series based on one of KONAMI's popular franchises that went to inspire the making of the first anime series that got released at the end of the previous year.

I was expectant of this show given my positive reaction I had watching the first anime incarnation (OVA).

To start the feeling has been subverted from the OVA, since this brand-new TV anime focuses more on the light-hearted atmosphere above the dramatic turns when something serious or somber approaches.

Spoiler:

I do agree that watching the Shinkis undertaking domestic chores everday with funny mishaps greatly reminded me of Hand Maid May, and while I cannot say about Sky Girls (given to never have watched that show at all) I do certainly get Infinite Stratos vibes whenever the Shinki battle each other with their armors; just to add that the battle armors design from my POV looks very Gundam-esque.

Now, one thing that greatly reminded the connection with the OVA was Arn's character.

Spoiler:

Miraluka · 2012-10-12, 01:18

Damn, good thing I have high resistance against this or else...

Elestia · 2012-10-12, 07:07

Enjoying the anime so far, although the budget going for the animation quality was way below average, even for me. The doll's master is especially horrendous to look at when he shows his ugly mug.

rafael1932 · 2012-10-12, 07:34

I am going to watch again

and, yes, the guy could be better drawn

D-KLAC · 2012-10-12, 07:36

well now so yea now there 4 of them give straft more into battle & fight while their master is nice guy.

so other 3 idea make food for master give dangers of having shinki doing cooking but they do it for master.

til two cat-shinki doing some trouble to ruin even bring in the octo-attack til straft slay the octo-beast.

yet all food ready prepare for 4 shinki's master all good.

Howling Type Dog and MaoChao type Cat. You can tell them apart when Howling is on the left and MaoChao is on the right in most scenes. Just helping you out here

KaoruAoiShiho · 2012-10-12, 16:43

Oh wow this show is brilliant. Shows basically everything I want to see. Master that's not into battles, YES!

Random Wanderer · 2012-10-12, 17:54

Hmm... the translation whose source I shall not name added a fair number of unnecessary puns into what Howling and MaoChao were saying. I may not be fluent in Japanese, but I recognized several rather ordinary phrases they used were replaced with something rather different and much more punny.

Well, whatever.

This episode seemed much more interested in aiming for fanservice shots, which felt rather jarring given the blatant doll-joints which are part of a shinki's iconic design. I wonder if they did that on purpose.

Master needs to better explain to Hina why he doesn't put his shinkis into battles. I don't think she quite understands where he's coming from. I do find it a bit odd that she had a warrior personality pre-installed. It sounded like Aines' personality was specifically designed for her position in the "family." I would have expected that to be part of the basic setup that Master performed when he gave Hina her name.

I don't know much about Busou Shinki, but they seem to be portraying the Strarf model as particularly capable fighters, what with the champion from last time being a Strarf, and Hina seeming to be a much better fighter than the other three.

Have to say to Master's father, buying your son a new toy is one thing, but pushing a new intelligent being into their "family" is something else entirely. That's the sort of thing you should ask about before doing.

A bit odd that the shinkis get sleepy, but I imagine their non-combat behavior was likely designed to mimic human behavior, so it makes sense.

Aines made me laugh when she started trying to clean each grain of rice by hand.

So where exactly did Howling and MaoChao come from? One assumes a shinki needs fairly regular recharging, so I doubt they're feral or anything like that. Presumably their master lives nearby.

Next time looks like there will be a good amount of combat.

Master_Yoma · 2012-10-12, 21:21

Wow there cooking skills are kind of good being so small but Hina just awesome with that sword

Midonin Last Engage Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Florida	Spoiler for Busou Shinki 02 - How to Defend Against Fresh Fruit: Forget Aines, Hina's the one who thinks this should be a fighting show. She does care about the rest of the group on some level, but not until their lives are in danger. Once again, the show manages to combine the battle elements with the daily life elements pretty well, turning a routine food preparation (though made somewhat harder by the miniscule scale) into a war zone. It looks like we're going to get a recurring group of antagonist Shinkis, including the two that showed up this week. I liked the house-shifting at the start of the episode. So many different styles, from traditional Japanese to Victorian elegance to a cabin in the middle of the woods. Even a space station! It's all just computer graphics and illusions, but it looked really cool. There was even a brief hot spring in there for a bit of light service. Though I wasn't really aware of the doll joints in the previous week's episode, they really stood out this week. The Shinki still look human enough that such things don't really take away from their cuteness, but it's definitely a "cannot unsee" kind of deal.

Her tsundereness is cute here. Spoiler: An Octopus raiding the kitchen? I want to know if it was part of the shopping list or if the mischievous duo - Howling & Mao Chao - brought in that bugger. FOOD FIGHT! A bit on the cliched side, but did enjoy how Starf turned the weaponized food into actual prepared food for the other three to turn into a meal. Nice control with the sword. I need my hands on that Visualizer (gadget the Shinkis use for homes and battle stages) to pose my Shinkis in photoshoots. Give me a real Shinki as well while you're at it :P. As previews go, we're getting episode 1 & 2 mixed in with three - three layers of goodies in episode 3! We're getting Eukrante back, Howling & Mao Chao back, and getting introduced to the Speed Taikes. Can't wait for next Thursday now.

Now, one thing that greatly reminded the connection with the OVA was Arn's character. Spoiler: At first, I thought she was the same character from the OVA, as well as her master who has grown up. But, the flashbacks towards the end of episode one revealed that they're not the same characters from the OVA. Both Kaguya and Arn come from the same production design model, Arnval, or that's how it looks like to me, but I can be wrong. My question is that the Strarf Shinki, briefly introduced into Rihito's household and the lives of his Shinki, is she the same character from the OVA? or is she a different Strarf?
