(CR) Gokukoku no Brynhildr

[shanksen]

damn I can't wait!!!

[Haruyasha]

The 3rd pv is still mostly 'innocent superficial moe harem'. The whole trailer is just a compilation of minor fan service scenes scattered throughout the series, giving it a very wrong image.

The bulk of the series is better represented by 1:14~1:30



Well, I can't complain, it could be worse. The trailer is obviously sucking up with fan service, but it's nowhere as trashy as Seikoku no Dragonar.

Kotori is now my property. Hands off!

I've made a characters/seiyuus page for this promising show, in advance of its first broadcast tomorrow. Images of seven characters and their seiyuus, with some info about each seiyuu.

Personally, I thought Elfen Lied was outstanding. And the little bit of the Brynhildr manga I read captured my interest.

And the anime stars Taneda Risa, who I think has a lot of talent (Saki in From the New World, Mirai in Kyoukai no Kanata).

Crunchyroll picks this one up. Source

Can someone move this to current series?

Looks like the music in the PV really was the OP.

Spoiler for Episode 1:

Great introduction episode. Studio Arms managed to arrange some scenes here and there to give some sort of tension through the viewer's mind, I particularly liked that. It's a little slow-paced as we shall see bigger surprises coming in the future episodes. I really didn't expect the opening theme to have the same music as the PVs, it's a great twist for us. I like how they placed the important scene (If you know what I mean, manga readers) for last minute to give a big hook, we'll see how it goes but I don't have much problems with the show's first few episodes that will come soon.

I'm skeptical about the girl gettting sucked into the filter like that being possible, lol.

MC must be a touhou fan.

I couldn't stop laughing when those kids fell off the dam wall. I know they're kids, and kids do dumb things, but all I could think of was how the heck did they even get there? And even if there was a way to get there, did they have no other choice but to shimmy across a pipe?

Anyway, I've got mixed feelings about the premiere. Its intriguing enough even though the show didn't reveal much about its premise but I can't help but feel that the show jumped a couple of hoops to get to that cliffhanger ending. I suppose I could notch that up to the somewhat wonky execution.

It seemed odd that Murakami just took her word for it or at least mulled over her prophetic advice seriously enough given that she was an oddball (I'm prolly nitpicking here).

I doubt the show used the flashback just to set up a red herring and cash in on it by the end. The moles could be easily removed by surgery and it appears that her memories have been erased as well. She could've pieced together her nickname from fragmented memories.

I think what stood out the most more than the twist itself was how the show didn't have a conventional opening; just music (with a hint of dubstep). It's been a while since I saw an anime show without an actual opening song.

yup

this looks like it's going to get Elfen Lied'd, as well

as long as they don't butcher it, i don't mind i guess xD

the OP was great btw

[Marina2]

The first ep. is a good start.

For once, it is nice to see the MC with good social reputation. I also like that other students doesn't turn to hate him after armpits accident.

It also has BEST OP out of all new anime I have seen in this season. However, it's just a melody.

No particular reason, but this has been listed for 13 episodes and the manga's translated up to 50 chapters and still going strong. Or maybe they'll just end it on a happy note at the end of an arc.

It's possible, but it'd basically have to shatter her knee/leg to do it, since it'd have to either suck it in so hard and far that it created a perfect air tight seal, or have suction strong enough to overcome two people (one of whom is a grown adult) pulling in the opposite direction.

Yeah, I'm fully expecting them to have either been moved/removed via surgery, or be further down her breasts now that she's developed.

They made it too strong of a point that he's in the 2nd year of high school (11th grade), Kuroneko "died" 10 years ago (1st grade), and this girl doesn't know something that everyone learns in 2nd grade.

[Jarly]

I just don't get it. OP spoiled events of the latest manga chapters (~90). And the first episode wasn't rushed at all. And there are 13 episodes.
Something is really wrong here.

[Utsuro no Hako]

I'm calling it now -- Kuroha is actually a deranged otaku who caused that rock slide to convince Murakami that her chuuni fantasies are real. Think about it, why else would she call herself Kuroneko, or go to school in NagiAsu cosplay? She's probably just pretending not to remember him because she thinks it's moe.

[Kaoru Chujo]

First episode lived up to my hopes/expectations. Beautifully paced. And I totally loved Taneda Risa's voice: so real and "girl next door," but with that slight "alien" hitch in it.
