The time might be upon it for this show's thread (and Juuden-chan) to switch forums, since the first episode is up and running. I'm not wholly sure of the logistics of the story (for example: Koyomi and Misa look exactly the same as they did in the promo pictures, Yumiko a pantieless loli), but there's a whole cour left to find out. Not a bad watch, overall.
Also: end-show explanation of terminology with puppets. As far as I can tell, this world proves Clarke right. Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology. |

Well, that didn't go at all how I expected for the first ep. I've no idea what the original novels are like, but I'd read the manga chapters I could find (they're not in linear order either but not this extreme)
Is most of the rest of the series going to be a flash back (flash forwards?) then...? "Hello, World" - I wonder how many programming in jokes we're going to get...

Personally, I'm not expecting too much in the way of in-jokes, since most people (including the anime staff) wouldn't get them. But you never know... Going back to the episode itself, I did guess about the setup fairly quickly, but even this it was still rather confusing / frustrating. Made a bit more sense watching it again. Anyway, I was only ever looking for this series as light entertainment - I didn't have big expectations coming in. Our resident "Tub Wizard" did come off as rather more reliable than I expected though. I didn't expect a deadly magic battle to start with either...

Fell in love with the OP instantly.
And young Yumiko too. She's so cute! "Go away, shoo shoo!" Though I had to watch the episode 2 times before I could comprehend the time travel stuff that was going on. I have faith that this series won't end up as confusing as Asura Cryin'. |
