Seems that way. Looks like i made the good choice of planning to read the manga once this series ends, and just enjoy the TV series for what it is.

& with that in mind, episode two was pretty good. So many adorable Bridgette moments really made my day, especially that blush. Like the little hints at her backstory, and hoping it's not long before we get the full flashback. & of course, best part of the episode was that shower scene. Oh my that shower scene.

I like where the next episode is headed after that last scene.

Maybe, just maybe, that glow will be the old form and after some episodes they will show de original form as a new one :P

That part should be explained in the next episode. It has to do with how Limiters operate. Kazuya is a Limiter. Males become Limiters. Females become Pandora.

More fighting and fanservice.

Well... after a week's of waiting (I haven't even watch episode 1)
Because I was trying to see if a 16:9 uncensored would pop out of nowhere...

But I guess there aren't going to be any ;(
Guess I'll have to watch both 4:3 uncen and 16:9 cen (either at same time with different media players or one after the other... LOL)

BTW... no one know of the reason why they have cutted the uncensored version from 16:9 to 4:3?
Because... it looked like uncensored "intermission" (where it showed Satellizer el Bridget's "profile data" @ 11:48 of ep1) was actually cutted out from the original 16:9.
That suggested to me they purposely cutted the original than edited it to uncensored.
The reason is... why did they even do that when they can just keep it 16:9?... why go through all the trouble to cut out all frames to make it 4:3?

So you'll buy the BDs.

I feel like you guys expect too much from this show.

So Freezing is about cheap fanservice + fun fights. Great.
Too bad while there is cheap fanservice, the fights are not even close to fun.

I'm not expecting anything (never did), so I don't think that is the case.

The fights get better as the series progresses due to who she fights. Fighting #2 in her class really isn't expected to last long when she's ranked #1. It's like there's #1(Satellizer) and then there's a big gap in ability then you reach #2 (Ganessa).

They did put an effort in character building so it's not all about fights and fanservice.

I hope the animation quality of the fights get better too, then.

Exactly. Along with more adorable Bridgette moments.

That's a very nice comparison, actually *lol*

A very good thing about this anime adaptation is that it doesn't waste time with fillers or much original stuff to go with the manga from one episode to the next.

Most of the first episode was original stuff which explained and introduced Sattellizer before Kazuya transferred in to the academy.

The second episode adapted the second half of chapter one and the first half of chapter two from the manga, and differences should be noted.

Spoiler:

I won't be spoiling for those who want to look for the manhwa.

The greatest difference was Pandora Mode's activation from the manga to the anime.

1. I will say just this. The anime showed ????? version of Pandora Mode to keep it secret for purposes of building expectations among the viewers, before it gets to be revealed for real in a future episode.

2. In the manwha, it is Arthur who explains to Kazuya the Ereinbar set, and why Pandora pick their Limiters from among the freshman boy students. Shiffon Fairchild made the explanations to Kazuya as seen in the anime's first episode.

3. Another dramatic difference:
- In the manhwa Shiffon and Kazuya are inside the school's complex with the former cautioning the latter not to approach Sattellizer, as Sattellizer made a fuss and literally broke from the medical ward right after getting herself mended, looking for Ganessa to even the score.

- The anime puts Shiffon and Kazuya in the same situation but both are outside in the courtyard. Satellizer came from the medical ward all patched but seemingly at peace and for no desire to fight. It was Ganessa who went after her to continue the taunts.

4. Anime-only difference.
- Kazuya continually persisted on apologizing to Satellizer to the extent of holding her right arm just before Ganessa comes in.

- In the manwha's first chapter, Kazuya doesn't make or the situation never presented for him to apologize because Ganessa and Satellizer immediately went to square-off against each other.

An interesting note about Satellizer's character.

This is the second time that I listen to Mamiko Noto's voice playing the role of a main character that has serious issues upon being touched by someone else.

1. The first one was Yukinari Sasaki. The main male-lead character from the harem comedy Girls Bravo, which upon being touched by any female (except Miharu) all throughout his body hives will burst due to suffering severe psychosomatic symptoms of gynephobia.

2. In Satellizer's case, she felt no disgust from being touched by Kazuya, although she felt embarrassed too deeply. Her psychological symptoms are a possible case of aphephobia, which reasons so as not to break the surprise, unfortunately, I won't reveal because that's spoiler.

Nice censor for who haven seen them. Pics in Random Curiosity. Seriously what's the point of broadcasting something in which the screen is more than half black.

Then watch the uncensored version. If there are 2 versions out, why bother with the censored version?

[DragoZERO]

Decent episode. Less pointless violence but they still have problems. I will do my best to ignore the manga changes but it was still enjoyable, so yeah.

Someone needs to tell them they are lowering the value of the juicy breasts... its inflation!

And was Satellizer's hair up in the shower??

She's voiced by Inoue Marina so she should prove to be very entertaining.

Not only the smile there is a shadow os something big like a claw mmmm

This show doesn't seem very high quality, but I find myself enjoying it quite a bit. I like the characters and the situations.

Maybe it's a case of my usual early-season low standards. I like a lot of the new shows right now: Hourou Musuko above all, but I'm enjoying just about all of them, to be honest.

[faythz]

I'm very dissapointed in Freezing anime, I'm a fans of freezing manga and in Anime too much change in every scene. And I kinda hate the Camera view why it shoot panty in battle scene such a mood ruiner. It was like this show meant to fanservice only

For the Pandora Mode it's horrible , where is the full armor!!! Just change hair color aww sucks
and for Kazuya. They make it even more Lame and sucks in anime
well i'm sorry to compare it with manga , Just my dissapointment
I think i'll drop it sooner or later

[Shadow5YA]

This show is moving a bit too slow-paced for my tastes. Two episodes done and we still haven't covered half of ch2 in the manga. Those chains seemed to move in slow motion.

More Satellizer reactions are always nice, but that alone is not enough to carry this show.

[Johnny]

Don't really care for the butchered adaption so far. Boobie and panty shots can only hold out for so long. Plus they turned the bad ass student council president into a babbling coward. I'll hold out and see what becomes of the next event that the previews showed...

[Fenrir_valindri]

The badass student council president was a babbling coward in the manga too.

but I do agree, quite a bit of disappointment so far in the adaptation, but I'll stick around in hopes of improvement. My only real beef so far has been the down-grading of Pandora mode.
