Uh... small correction: That list is maintained by roxfan. Andrew just provides the server space.

I liked episode 1 as well. My guess the show would be a lot like Somday's Dreamer. Hope the show will stay light-hearted rest of the way but I felt there is something dark looming...

It's the same character designer :)
I'm looking forward to this aswell :)~

Lunar has been doing a great job on these new series, and releasing them fast at that. I really appreciate their work! Thanks :)

I'm getting ep1 from their bots right now, can't wait :)

I've watched the first episode and i had the feeling this could become a populair anime. Because the story looks promising and the characters are nice designed. The Animation is very good.

Yah, this first episode was really good. The animation is so pretty and everyone is sooooo cute =) This could definetly become a very popular series soon, the rest of the episodes better have the same quality that this one did!

I was kind of surprised at the number of panty shots I saw. Not something that was overwhelming, but something that was very discrete, almost like it would be in real life if girls were wearing skirts that short. ;) But overall its got a good feel to it. Nothing like Da Capo, at least not yet, but its got potential.

The first episode was good. I will definately be following this series this fall. Thanks Lunar for subbing it! :D

Yay, the character designers who did Kiddy Grade, one of my favorite anime. Love the designs!

Does anyone else besides me like the OP of this series?

I have iTunes playing it on endless loop right now, so far 12 times but I'm not quite sick of it yet :)

Uta~Kata looks great so far--given it's from gimik the fanservice isn't surprising, but it didn't get in the way of the story. The character designs definitely remind me of Kiddy Grade--I wonder if they'll throw in similar plot twists. The backgrounds seem well-done too--I've never been to Kamakura, but I recognized a couple landmarks from pictures I've seen. I hope it's not only 12 episodes, although:

the OP song?!?? i thought it doesn't get released until oct. 21st

oh well gotta go see this anime...looks to be the best anime of the fall season, second only to Mai Hime!!!

It's not the full OP--I just ripped the short TV version of it out of the audio track from the avi, to last until the 21st.

Uta~Kata's worth checking out, who knows where it'll go from here but I like it so far...

Not a bad first episode. Still too early to see how good it will be though. The annoying thing was the panty shots. In my opinion, when they try making it subtle it becomes even more obvious. They are middle school girls dammit!

true. The "cuteness" disappeared into "fanservice" with that panty shot. I'll withhold judgement after seeing the next two or three episodes. It definately looks promising. Not much of any major plot yet but the mystery is just beginning.

Seeing Lunar sub it, and seeing the recent trend of show licensing, let's just wait for this to get licensed like, next month =P

I'm getting it based on what you guys say, though I don't really like fanservice, and I've never watched Kiddy Grade because of what I hear about it, those character designs are just cute :) And I suppose I can always drop it alter if I don't like it. I wonder if it turns into a Narutaru-like show :D That'd be great...

You can always close your eyes right?

You knew coming in that this was "magical girl transformation" right?

Its pretty much a staple. To put on your power suit, you get nekkid.

This kinda reminds me of Yumeria, though it seems to have the potential to be deeper and darker. I hope it is.

I love both the OP and ED.
