BGC is a good comparrison, we've got 4 girls and then the useless younger male char who will pant over 'em.
But I was expecting fanservice and it was there, but the animation was good and even though it's the first episode, I kinda like the characters. Definitely will keep watching the series. |

Well, since there's a lot of talk about fanservice i rewatched the first episode (believe it or not, i didn't pay too much attention to fanservice..or it was just nicely integrated into the show) and i have to say: YEAH, there's definately a whoopin' *bounce* on meg^^
Still, i'm more attracted to Jo..i'm always attracted to the quiet, rather unlikeable but somehow lively girls^^ |

I'd also say it's Jo. About fanservice, well, so far not really that much... not as much as in the first episode of BGC OVA anyway... (who else thinks that "monster" at the start of the anime somewhat looks like that huge Boomer in BGC OVA 1? )

You think THAT was distracting?!? Then you should better stay clear of shows like Ikkitousen or Agent Aika or Mouse or a whole lot of other anime whose only purpose is to feed its audience fanservice without any regard for the consequences and the damage it may cause^^ No really, in regards to this show, the fanservice is remarkably low..or let me put it in another way, there's actually quite a bit of fanservice but its function is well integrated into the overall image so far and it's not for the sake of showing a nipple or panty en masse just to keep the audience at bay. Personally i think that it doesn't stick out too much AND it doesn't even have to, there's enough potential on other parts anyway. |

I liked the 3D CG stuff... it was well done imo... not really feelin the characters yet cuz I'm pretty sure I've seen the same types in other anime I've watched before... there might be some development in later episodes when the plot actually kicks in.... but I'll be honest.... I will be watching the next episode(s) for more 3D CG stuff, fighting and fanservice than watching it for the story....

Animation and attention to detail is great at least in the first episode. Hopefully it'll turn out to be an ok action anime with not too much emphasis on the fan service.
But I've got to say that Baku-Ten has one of the worst OP songs I've heard so far. Not surprisingly, I also really hated the opening songs of Ikkitousen (well, I hated that anime anyway) and Tenjou Tenge, but Baku-Ten OP song takes the cake..talk about Engrish overload. |

Someone mentioned that Kono Mini has more fanservice. *shrugs* This may or may not be true, but I actually enjoyed Kono Mini's fanservice-y content, whereas Baku Ten's just bothered me. Dunno why. |

I want to like this anime, but I have a hard time respecting it because the makers obviously don't respect their audience. It's like Magus IX said- tasteful fanservice can be ok. Somebody implied that those who complain about fanservice notice it more. Well, yes, I'm not desensitized to it and I am a very horny male (yup). But just because my hormones may say, "Oooohhhh, booobies," doesn't mean that I as an individual actually want to see that |
