Man that was a lot better than expected, but then again my expectations were super low considering this is Gonzo. Animation CG work was actually top notch, and the backgrounds were beautiful.

Sadly, Erina Reika was the one who caught my attention. Hearing Taneda doing the ojou-sama bitch laugh was a long time coming, and her betting the most petty of things managed to crack a chuckle from me. Sadly, judging from the promo materials she isn't a heroine... but she should be! XD

As for the actual heroines... Misaki and Masaya are on a no-honorific first name basis, and Asuka was shown in a flashback 10 years ago with a certain item that looks important? One of them has got to be childhood friends with Masaya right?

Ep 01

One of my two most anticipated series of the season here, and after the first ep I was pleased. I felt it was stable, solid, enjoyable, and did a fine job introducing the cgaracters, setting and the catalyst for the story about to unfold.

Especially appreciated the use of background art and background music.

Asuka is a bundle of energy to say the least!

Committing to the series....

the grav-shoes are cool.
but the sport looks dumb and is just basically air tag.

rladls2121 · 2016-01-12, 00:06

I'm thinking of playing a game version of this series.

MartianMage · 2016-01-12, 00:52

I had difficulty sitting through the first episode... didn't like the direction that much and also didn't like the hyper active girl...

ookamigirl · 2016-01-12, 02:59

Clumsy airhead and a washout jock in a Japanese way.
Time to fly!
*sigh* this is a bit of a mix.
From classic fan service, airhead, one male character to sports.
Think I'll skip this one after all.

serenade_beta · 2016-01-12, 03:01

Gonzo + Eroge? What could go wrong?
I'm looking forward to this so much. Maybe for the wrong reasons, but anyways, looking forward to it so much...

Arya · 2016-01-12, 03:11

I tried to give it a try, but the MC was too much to handle, I stopped after 5 minutes. honestly I had zero expectations from this (mostly due to some reminiscence with Koichoco), but even if the first impression was good the hyper active girl alone killed the mood instantly.

I can see it, the possible of love triangle or even higher in this kind anime. The word harem can't be used randomly here.

Iron Maw · 2016-01-12, 10:20

So this is basically Air Gear: Flying Edition.

That said unlike Air Gear, this is clearly a character driven show, so how you like the characters (particularity the female lead) will determine how much your going to stick with this. Especially where this one might be the most hyperactive scatterbrained character this season.

Asuka is the MC so chances of a harem forming is probably zero.

Wandering Soul · 2016-01-12, 12:50

Asuka has energy to spare.

This was an okay first episode. I can see myself getting attached to these characters. Misaki is basically two characters in one.

zeross87 · 2016-01-12, 15:30

meh first ep and already a "oh no i'm about to loose in 5sec lets have a flashback that gimme the power to throw a win" (well a win is not really what i'd call that

)

girls are cute, art is great, i was worried about sport tag and already dislike that part... someone familiar with source material can tell me if the sport part is prominent and if its always that bad ?

SeaDoor · 2016-01-12, 16:21

So flying in a short skirt, how does that work?!?

Laughed a bit when Asuka's command to her shoes was "Fly!" and little wings appeared. Will she have a stuff animal named Kero?

First episode seemed too much paint by numbers. Will give it a couple of more episodes to see if becomes more original.

Nvis · 2016-01-12, 20:47

On my watch list. Girls are very cute.

Asuka and Misaki.

Let's go with "flashily."

Kismet-chan · 2016-01-13, 04:21

I WANT to like this show, but as someone else said, it's character-driven. And with Asuka as the main character... I don't know. She's just a bit too much for me. Most of the characters were just a bit too much for me, actually. (With the exception of the guy, strangely. Maybe everyone else is just so obnoxiously generic and/or annoying that it made him stand out as being tolerable by comparison? Idk.)

Maybe I'll give it another episode or two out of sheer curiosity/boredom.

Random Wanderer · 2016-01-13, 07:28

Asuka is a delight to me. I love her wide-eyed airheaded energy. Can I keep her?

Benigmatica · 2016-01-13, 08:46

Episode 1:
A good start for this series, but I'm worried that it's Gonzo who's animating AoKana.

Still, I hope that it won't turn out bad in future episodes!

Master_Yoma · 2016-01-13, 22:24

Well the MC is a very cute and energetic but kind of an idiot
