Touching her means DEATH, remember? Really, what part of this is hard to understand?

Ah....the Satellizer we know and love.

Unfortunately, it is well documented that cuteness has been known to shut down the higher brain functions of logic, tact and self preservation in otaku.

Heck, there was a well known (though unfortunately not video recorded) fist-fight for a plastic stuatue of My Wife last year in Akihabara!! The combatants were said to be grappling, screaming, pulling and shouting over her!!

The joke was: she was not a limited edition run figure, and is still quite available.

Ok, so I was bored and watched the third episode
Turned out to be not quite as bad as I had feared.

First we see how feared the coldhearted b*tch Satelliser actually is - as she enters the cantina, all students flee instantly. No wonder when she happily slaughters countless girls during combat simulations, and who knows what other depraved, unfunny crap she still did
That makes the contrast all the bigger when Kazuya (who can't get enough of touching her after rubbing his face in her breasts) suddenly puts the mental basketcase into shy-girl-mode
There people complain about Cecil in IS becoming al dere-dere after the fight (I didn't find it too bad), but *this* 180 degree turn is now really way out there and extremely unbelievable

When Miyabi appeared with her harem, I already knew she means business
I expected them to do some unfunny asspulls right away, but the seem to have used up all crack last episode, and we get to see a more realistic fight instead of B-movie action. Miyabi gets too annoyed with all the crap Satelliser constantly pulls (and probably has been pulling for some time already), and Satelliser gets owned and becomes the Feel-me-up-Queen

Spoiler for 0wnage (contains nsfw):

Just then though, one of the storywriters couldn't stand the withdrawal anymore and started snorting cleaning agent or something
As a result, we got to see another ludicrous ass-pull: Kazuya, a complete n00b without the faintest idea about what he is doing, is suddenly able, at the very first try, to not only break a Freezing field that was erected by three experienced Limiters and a seasoned third-year, but also can erect a Freezing field of his own
Well, at least it stopped there and they didn't show any absurd scenes about how Satelliser is suddenly able to beat the third year and the limiters

You probably should see this as the anime equivalent to a B-movie. While it's not at "Plan 9 from Outer Space" niveau yet, they're really putting some effort into it to get there.

Towards the end, we're introduced to Ingrid, which seems to be quite good, and who is informed that the Satelliser problem really needs to be dealt with now.
Thus, in the hope we'll see Satelliser's ass whopped once more, I'll go and watch the next episode - if only to laugh at the stupid, absurd B-movie elements

Very wrong, quite the opposite. Without Kazuya, there would've been no one to do that ludicrous ass-pull to break the Freezing field, and they would've happily continued to have fun with the Feel-me-up-Queen.

He did a freezing field in episode 1, remember. It's why Satellizer lost that one. They explained how he was able to do it in episode 3, even though that explanation didn't come until later in the manga. Normal limiters have a single stigmata in their body: a tiny fragment about the size of a pea that had been inside the pandora's body until she was ready to choose a limiter. It's the stigmata that allows the males to use any power at all: without it they'd just be human. However, 30% of Kazuya's body is made up of stigmata material. He's on a different scale altogether. Ordinary humans don't have any, limiters only have what they're given from their pandora partner. Kazuya has nearly 1/3 of his body made of the stuff NATURALLY. It's not an ass-pull: it's a deliberate invoking of a plot-point that will gain more significance later.

Of course, the anime has no business getting far enough for that to matter. If it's only going to be 12 episodes, we shouldn't even get past the 3rd-years' little war against Satellizer.

PS: If you don't like the idea of Satellizer being able to adapt and suddenly take on people who should be better than her, then you're not going to like this series, I can tell you that right now.

I think if Kazuya wasn't there, there would have been any conflict to begin with ...

Well, i watched episode 4 and it was awesome, 90+% true to the source, i can't wait for moar. n_n

A scene like that was meant to make us feel disgusted.

Spoiler for Episode 04:

Apart from our dumb protagonist just walking into a girls room and about to read her diary, this is was a damn good episode. The action was easily on the level i expected to see from this show, with epic Yokoyama Masaru music placement.

The Satellizer service was very nice in this episode, along with the very lovely footshots during the battle. I must thank Satellizer for attacking Ingrid while she's half dressed.

Up next is HanaKana.

[Jerseykid]

Green freezing is no match for blue freezing!

It's starting to get odd that she has to fight every episode, when does she get to go to school.

Ok, one of the better made eps. I'll give it a 7. But I wished they had kept the teachers threatening Satelliser to leave Kazuya alone or she would die personally from the teacher's hands. And they missed the Kazuya bitch slap and a GAR Kazuya moment

@himeji: I don't see how it's unbelievable. If Satelliser went dere to EVERYONE, then yea. But we always know that she only goes dere for Kazuya.

@jersey: I think it's to help indicate that Kazuya is using a Nova freeze compared to a reg. Limiter freeze

Is that so? Perhaps I will watch. I was debating on whether or not to drop. I am stretched too thin this season.

School? What's this "school" that you speak of?

Damn At-x censored with black bands some violent scenes. I will surely read the manga after this serie end, is so good.

I'd say so, though i'm sure a few people here would disagree with me . You're reading the manga anyway, so i'm sure you could easily do without the adaptation.

[Kanon]

Spoiler for episode 4:

Chiffon having a wet dream was easily my favorite part of the episode

The rest was typical Freezing. Bad animation, ludicrous fanservice and the dumb protagonist being annoying. The story wasn't too bad this time around though, even if it was still nothing amazing. It was still enough to make me think this series might get better, although I'm not getting my hopes up.

HanaKana is right on time to prevent me from dropping this.

...I don't remember anything like THAT from the relevant manga chapters...

I should probably give up on this. I read the manga before I tried the anime, and given the way the anime is chopping things up and altering stuff, I don't think there's any way I could like it.

Spoiler for ep 4:

So Kazuya showed his stupidity again by walking unannounced into a girl's room and was going to read her diary.
Nice fight, Kazuya shows his freezing powers again. So his freezing is similar to nowas?

So Ingrid was upset this whole time over a misunderstanding.

I think it's time Satellizer takes him as her limiter. She just witnessed that without him she would have lost. Also he's the only one willing to become her limiter.

I think they cut/changed too much of the story. At this rate we will have an original end.

On the contrary, they have change too little and i think they are trying to keep the general idea and develoment intact, except for pandora mode. The cuts are because of the little time i suppose.

Not really. Although, we are missing several plot points that could be used for char. development.
