Are you sure about that? I got the impression that the punishment she threatened the students who failed the test with would be some type of psychic punishment. (The sub I watched called it "see see through through", IIRC.)

They described the punishment in the anime (the sub I watched anyway). They'd be forced to play poker blindfolded until they won ten times in a row. I guess it's supposed to be some kind of psychic training, but it wouldn't require the teacher to be psychic, only the student.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprise if they pull off a Railgun-tan for the DVD Think about it.

I'm thrilled that we have a main male character who's not a whiny indecisive little brat. In fact, I'm pretty pleased with several of the new animes this season where it doesn't appear that the guy might break down in a pathetic crying emo meltdown.

In a way it reminds me of tsukihime. Male lead surrounded with girls who have ridiculous destructive powers and having a gimp, but hax power himself ( Death perception = Kill anything, even if its God. Spoiler = Negate all energy, even if its from God ).

You got that from the novels, I'm assume. I guess that's one of those details that got lost in the compression to anime format or will be explained better later on. Thanks to both of you for clearing things up for me.

ep 1 I know that it isn't good to judge a series on the producers but we tend to do it anyway even if it isn't on purpose. I must say, for a series which I was skeptical on because of the producers, I am very impressed with this first episode... Spoiler:

Indeed, with the same person singing it as the Shana OPs, can't be helped, I felt it, too. The karaoke reminded me of Shana's, too.
Didn't really favor the jerkiness of the OP, though, or the extended battle against the guy flinging around those metal beams.

It's only been 1 episode but my initial impression of this show is very good and I hope it lives up to its potential throughout the rest of the season.
I think it's rare to see both psychic and magic powers in the same setting, and the girls are cute. More than enough to keep me watching, hopefully it's going to run at least 24 episodes or have a second season if it's a short one. |
