No. My body wasn't ready for the FABULOUS.

I just wasn't enjoying it at all so far. Episode 1 was a mix of "wat" and "hey this looks interesting in a weird way", but eps 2 and 3 just failed to engage me. If it ends up getting better later, I may pick it up again. |

I thought ep3 was outstanding. Lots of angles and levels, and especially learning more of the character and situation of the rich greenhead. The fight may have been a bit perfunctory, but it was good, anyway.
But the OP gets me in such a good mood every week that I am always well-disposed toward this show. I like the ED a lot, too. As for recent shoujo, certainly Kaichou wa Maid-sama and Kimi ni Todoke. But there have been plenty of shoujo series in recent years. e.g., Itazura na Kiss. Skip Beat. Love Con. Ouran HS Host Club. Lilpri (abbreviation for the whole title, which includes the word Lilpri, "Little Princesses") and Jewelpet for young kids. Yumeiro Patissiere for girls 8-12, but so good anyone can enjoy it. And somewhat harsher shows like Vampire Knight, Hakuouki, and Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru. But I'm not seeing anything specifically shoujo here, although there are emotions and romance and good-looking boys. The stylishness of the hero may seem "gay" to people locked into current American culture, but just remember that the most masculine people of many past ages were stylish posers like this -- e.g., 17th-18th century swordsmen.

Ugh....so I did some research and found out it's some sort of new unfunny meme that people are of course trying to work into every possible situation and conversation. Should have guessed.

Fabulous isn't a meme for sure. I know it's been around since before the internet, though I'm sure now that the internet has gotten ahold of it will be seeing use in an entirely different context in about 6 months from now. Oh, while I remember here's the promo art for the TCG I was talking about yesterday folks: And as an example of what to expect: I guess all that's left for them to add that I think is a must is Gainax Crusade. |

Episode 3 was great, some great sword fighting action, I wonder if we'll only see this formulaic structure, until we see all of Talburn's abilities, which in a way, could actually be a bad move for the hero, he's slowly but surely showing his entire move list, in these one on one battles. I just realized what his transformation scene reminded me of, and that's Power Puff Z, I'm also glad the version I watched had the fish girl's song's lyrics finally.

yea, she was indeed. not that I'm complaining though, she was quite cute there =>
Spoiler:
Wako undressing was not bad either => Spoiler:
Wako's fantasy at the beginning was funny... and so were the other girls' reactions... yea, same here. Wako's singing was nothing special... lol, everytime I hear all this talk about maidens and broken seals, a little smirk appears on my face. anyways... yea, like others have said, a rather boring ep... if not for the cuteness of fish girl.
