Production value was pretty good and the first episode has exceeded my expectations (which was very low), so I'll at least watch another episode of it.
Though I'm completely sold just on Hideyoshi himself. His body pillowcase is starting to look great now.

"To have such appearance is our Kinoshita Hideyoshi. He is part of our class, and is the reason why I start to disregard gender when it comes to love." So the fact that he has such a deep voice weirds me out. Basically my image had Hideyoshi's and Kouta's voices switched. |

Are you sure that's hideyoshi or its just his sister. I think in the novel the way they describe it. I would have imagine his sister to have deep voice and him have a soft one. But not to girlie. But then again I kinda like his voice now. It differentiate from his sister. Which is very hard to tell apart. |

Plus Kouta's actually voiced by a guy and Hideyoshi's actually voiced by a girl. XD EDIT: In the meantime, fanart is starting to trickle in. Not much so far, but there are some pretty epic main cast images. Excess of Himeji is purely because I didn't find any great images of other characters... except Hideyoshi but someone else can post those, I'm on a trap-free image diet at the moment. Still waiting on some good Minami-chan art...

This was one of my most anticipated series going into the season, and I wasn't disappointed. Just enough Shaft influence but not over the top, which is how I prefer it. A nice combination of dumb and really smart humor. Really great ED, best of the season so far. Unusual and really eye-catching character designs. A trap. What more could anyone ask from a comedy series, really? Believe it or not, I think there's even some validity to the social commentary the premise is based on, too.
Edit: Best moment of the season so far for me was, "Why was I the only one with a transformation sequence?" However, based on said sequence, one would almost be forced to conclude that Hideyoshi is actually the rarely-sighted Double-Reverse Trap...

The only problem with the first episode was that it really kind of disrupted the whole strategy that Yuuji had going in the novel. There was a lot more to the wars in the novel but I assume they want to do the A class fight to introduce that other character...

Anyway, I soften my stance and will give ep2 a try. Intros never really make good impressions on me. |

main frustration with the series is that although the psuedo sprites fighting is funny/cute/cute/cute the battles themselves seem fairly simplistic 'march down a corridor' and really don't freature any real wiggle room for tactics or anything that could make "grades" be not as valueable. Since it seems to be a simple attacker deals damage first things.

I really wish they'd of gotten the explanation of Yoshi's special ability out of the way in the last episode. The heavy exposition explaining how the battles work really slowed this episode down. I think I might've been a little bit confused had I not already been familiar with the source material going in.

I don't quit get why so many people are concerned with the technical details of the fights. Well, I am no novel reader. But I guess the gist of the show is that the main male will gradually build his harem through defeating other classes in those summoning wars, not defeating other classes while building harems. The premise of the whole show is ridiculously enough already. I don't quite see why something built upon that very premise is going to make whole lot sense. I actually hope they don't get too much details into those summoning wars because they are kind of boring.

Classroom wars reminded me so much of School Rumble....
Pretty okay-ish, but still waiting for this show to break out of the pack. And what was up with the old Grand Theft Auto style viewpoint? lol. Still, it was easily the most fun first episode of the new anime season for me. |
