[Stark700]

Anime project for Ange Vierge announced at the Fantasia Bunko Festival.

Premise/Synopsis:

The story of the card game follows what happens when "Hairō" portals suddenly open, fusing three different worlds together. As a result, various mysterious "Exceed" powers are awakened in teenaged girls. An academy for these so-called "Progress" girls is built on the isolated Seiran Island in the Pacific.

Spoiler for Ep1:

Not a bad first episode. Though I might need sunglasses with the amount of light beams everywhere. A rare time I might just ask that they put the girls in clothes so we don't need that much censoring everywhere .

You start to get an idea of the various personalities and a starting point for the situation in this series. Of course there is obviously plenty going on for all these girls to explain what they are thinking and why they have certain goals or motivations. But it's enough to get the general picture right now.

Saya kind of starting out as a frustrating lead. I'm sure there is something going on there, but frankly she just sounds really selfish. Someone who was overlooked and didn't have a lot of friends before she gained her power, then got really excited and felt special. After that realizing that she's hardly the only person in the universe with special abilities and now can't stand not standing out.

Not that just being happy with the status quo would be good, they do need to protect all life here. But, it seems like her desire isn't about doing good or helping anyone. She just wants to stand out more. I mean really, having the ability to control light isn't special? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it actually is special. Seems like someone who could easily get bored with any level of power or type of ability.

Spoiler for Episode 1:

The first episode itself was okay, but I felt like the staff did not do a good job at introducing the series to the viewers very well besides the first few minutes and the ending scene. It may not have a lot of sexy fanservice later on, but the premiere just show a bunch of female characters in one big bathtime trying to talk about self-determination things about saving the whole while the director emphasizes their naked bodies in various camera angles before finishing these with very annoyingly heavy censoring, they could have saved all of it later and not in this episode. Just keep the same dialogue lines (which were in fact quite interesting and understandable to me in contrast) while not having any bathing scenes in the same episodes and it would do much better than what we got. Here's hoping this episode looks misleading so we don't have to suffer non-stop bathing service for the rest of the series (even though I'm a bathing service sucker myself).

[Stark700]

Episode 1:

The only part I'm impressed so far is the world building details and parts of the action.

Almost half the first episode was bath fan service (censored as well) which was rather distracting. I didn't mind it but felt it was way too dragged even with their dialogues. Character designs looks kinda generic as well. Well, I'll give it more episodes but it wasn't impressive to me yet. Everything felt like it happened too fast in the final few minutes.

[Nachtwandler]

To much censorship. They should have either to tone it down like in Strike Witches or avoid so much ecchi. Also it has to many mobage references. As a player I just don't want to see this things in anime, I saw them to many times in games.

[Master_Yoma]

Well that was a long bath time just so steamy and so much light kind of seems like strike witches

[IceHism]

What was that. More than 10 mins of bath time? Wtf
The battle was kind of dull too

[Shadow Angel]

I believe they needed more times spent on doing other things. Besides sitting in the bath for over half the eppy. The battle was okay and could have been better.
