IRL, if someone handed you 1 billion dollars out of nowhere and disappeared, your going to get a lot of suspicion on how you got it. And there's a difference between rich and fame anyway, I take riches, but no thanks to fame. And with the nature of the powers, I guess they feel its hard to separate the two if they do go down that path. If I got all these neat powers, I keep it to myself too. I use it to benefit myself, and maybe someone near me if its convenient. I don't have a hero complex, so becoming a hero of justice whatnot doesn't interest me, and there's tons of animes with that premise already, we just had Tokyo ESP last season. So I like this approach.

Uou! I'm seriously surprised to see so many less than positive opinions in this thread. I know this isn't the next classic but I found that what the show tried to do in its first episode it did surprisingly competently. The comedic timing was spot on, the characters had pleasant enough designs and pretty good voice acting (grain of salt since I'm not a native speaker). If anything people might criticise the slightly pedestrian backgrounds. Aa for the story it's too early to tell but for me it felt like it has the potential to entertain me once a week. Taking a what if situation and running with it while still being funny is a surprisingly difficult act to pull off and the show managed to do it rather well in its first episode so I'm hopeful for what's to come.

If he ended being bullied for it and he can't defend himself, he might lose his chuuni lol. Well this is comedy but I just hope the chuuni jokes don't get old too fast, unlike like the manga rising x rydeen(similar seemingly MC useless power), people said they got bored because the joke about MC's power got too old.

If they ultimately decide that you're right, and that they should put all of this off until adulthood, then that's understandable. But it would be nice to see them at least grapple with these questions, and to think about different alternatives, because frankly, I think most people (including most teenagers) would consider those questions if they suddenly gained high-level superpowers.

You have these absolutely awesome superpowers, and you're restricting yourself to using them once per month? I honestly find that hard to believe. Especially from a group headed by someone who's very chuuni. That's the last sort of person I'd expect to be this incredibly restrained in the use of their powers.

You'll notice that they were using them on their own. Chifuyu teleports into the clubroom. Hatoko traps Andou in water bubbles. Tomoyo stops time to fix problems. Sayumi uses her power to dry off Andou. I doubt these are the only examples.

For all we know Tomoyo could actually be out there acting like a superhero and no one would ever know. Freeze time, stop the crime, unfreeze and go on with your day . Such a hax power without any trace left behind. But not that likely considering the tone in the first episode. Probably the best power though if you wanted to stay under the radar.

The loli power is pretty cool too. One that you have to get creative with, but can basically do whatever you want at that point. Nothing wrong with making your own pocket spaces and creating all sorts of things. Still, if I had my pick I might go for the time power. Subtle and subtle. Speeding up, slowing down, and freezing time has its uses.

Elemental power is pretty OP but not much use in modern life. Time powers comes pretty handy and is discrete but it just loses to "Molecule man" power for me.

I think that for me one big factor for whether or no I pick up the series will revolve around how they portray the newfound powers and abilities, especially as the characters explore what they can do with them. Time control and elemental control also have lots of possibilities and potentials as well, and the power of the ojou-sama healer is even emphasized in the series itself as being a big unknown. I am sure there will be more battles, comedy and other things like that, but character and story development along the exploring of powers angle will prolly make it or break it for me....

Tougher to be subtle with that elemental power. I mean if you wanted to go pure super hero it'd be pretty awesome. I always found time control to be a pretty cool idea for a power. Speed yourself up if you want to be the Flash or just freeze it when you need a breather. But really who could forget about the wondrous power that is Dark and Dark ? I mean....might be a good power if you want to be a magician or something... Quote:
Hopefully they can make it into a fairly fun show to watch every week.

Five elements. Not just the four western elements, but the eastern element of light is included as well. Don't look down on light manipulation, as it includes things like invisibility, illusions, flash-bombs, and lasers, just to name a few applications.

Guess I am only one who would go for restore power, maybe because only people who live on their own can appreciate ability that mend holes in socks not mention it could applied instead watching machine dish washer too! No metter what anyone says it's absolutely most broken power
