Come to think of it...
Sai Akuto --> Saiakuto --> 最悪人 His parent's naming sense... Quote:
But I never do that and end up asking (targetting no one, really)... Quote:
Glad to see those internet translators as brilliant as ever.

Man does anybody else get super Harry potter vibes from this show? Also typical fated to destroy the world kind of thing going on, definitely will be interesting, but so far it's a tad on the side of generic, still nice to have sugisaki back even if his characters is quite different.

Like serenade_beta, I enjoy his name, too: "Sai Akuto --> Saiakuto --> 最悪人" = "worst guy," "most evil guy." The author has some verbal humour. To me, this could be a sleeper hit: the director of Shakugan no Shana does his own version of Railgun/Index crossed with Harry Potter, lol. I really thought it moved along very well.

Also, just like in SeiZon, I found the male protagonist the most interesting character (I need to follow this VA more, perhaps?). He tried to clear up things in a clear manner (albeit still misunderstood) and even knocking before entering a girl's room, a trait almost unheard of from a harem male protagonist. |

Ichiban - means literally the top most, or highest. Ichi - 1st, Ban - Placement Ushiro - is back of, behind, below. In the sense when used together, it could be seat placement, like in a classroom, or if there was a tier system (like a ladder or family hierarchy) it be the lowest level or bottom. |

And I thought I was the hair-splitter, lol. He does his own version by adapting an original work that begins the task for him.
EDIT: I've made a characters and seiyuus page for this show, with pics of characters and their seiyuus, and info about the seiyuus.

I like all the misunderstanding and Sai's goof ups leading to more misunderstandings. A definite must watch. |

Heh, I just had an epiphany on how this first episode relates to a certain story from Buddhism.
Anyways, this first episode was entertaining enough for me so I look forward to the next episodes. My eye were a bit burned to see Hattori wear a loin cloth/rope for under pants. Those things are nasty for being on both men and women!

that was a very entertaining first episode.
I'm rather pleased with the voice acting, even though I also liked the cast of the Drama CD. it turned out better than I thought, methinks, so I'm happy that they decided to go with the changes and make the best out of it (especially with regards to the characterization, which turned out great, too). so, it has been a while that I've come to like all females that have showed up on screen; and not only that, I didn't feel annoyed by the male character in the slightest---he's still as refreshing as it was in the Drama CD (and to some extent in the manga). though I must admit that all characters presented were interesting on their own: self-righteous blue-hair girl, a-little-odd red-hair one, mysterious girl A (with the magician's hat), mysterious girl B (with Shizuka Itou's voice) and Korone (Nagato clone (?)) . :P I'm happy that I'm finding that addition plus in the characters, which in turn made this first episode very enjoyable for me. hopefully they continue in this path for the next episode, too. by the way, I'm getting the feeling Korone is going to become my favorite character... but I'm also very fond of the red-hair one. |

Liked the first episode... except for the random shadow censoring. Really liked Hattori (perhaps a carryover bias since my favorite character in another show is named Hattori as well?), but really didn't like the impression I got from Hiroshi or the red haired girl. I'll reserve judgment on the other girls until they get better exposition.
All I gotta say is... Hiroshi better have some plot twist coming or something. He seems like he wants Sai to become the Demon King. |

I only had 2 major complaints about the first ep.
1) The scene on the monorail/train thing just seemed a bit rushed. 2) The random censoring got on my nerves, we had full on panty-shots with no censor, the little chibi icon thing, and then the "lets black out half the freaking screen." I can see this ending a couple of ways. I know I probably don't need to put it in tags but I don't want to ruin the surprise if I turn out to be correct. Spoiler for Future Plot:

I see possible things with Sai Akuto's identity.
1. He is the last of the previous Demon Lord's bloodline. By default he is his heir. 2. He is the reincarnation of the Demon Lord. Same soul but different backgrounds. Nature vs Nurture come to play. |
