Spoiler for Majikoi 01 - Software Sophomore Scuffle:

Many moons ago, I watched They Are My Noble Masters, only vaguely aware of what medium it came from. The show was enjoyable, taking its ridiculousness in earnest, and also having robots. That last point is more of a dealbreaker than one might think.

Though not part of a series like Steins;Gate was to Chaos;Head, this is still part of KimiAru's universe, if only by the presence of Ageha. Of course, she's voiced by her original self instead of Rie Tanaka, and looks a little different. But it's still her.

The thing I enjoy about VNs is that they are, by nature, an anthology. Several fully complete stories available for several hours of your time. Novels. Obviously, anime can't do that, so I don't know what format they're going to go for here. But it's off to a good start. All the characters were introduced and showed off themselves (personality-wise and battle-wise), and I got to hear several familiar voices in the process.

The OP-as-ED (featuring some really good singers) sounds good, but I'm going to need some animation to go with it before I make a final call. If this is the tone the show will set for itself from here on out, this should be an enjoyable little deal.
