The action is one of the main attractions of the game, so I'm pretty sure they add it latter.

I'm not referring to you so why quote me? The ''some'' people are those who are giving punishing critique, regarding the show, on other forums/blogs and I think it's totally undeserved. In other words, the comment was aimed at those who are giving ''worst anime ever'' kind of response, and it just started...

Underwhelming, how? It showed the main characters, what they do and what they bring to those around them. A slow build up in another words. It's pretty enough for the first episode.

Sometimes people indirectly refer to other posters in a thread without naming them, using vague words like "some people".I wasn't sure whether you were referring to people like me or not, but I wanted to give a defense of my reaction in case you were. No biggie.

It was still a dull episode. I suppose I thought they spent too much time on how everyone can't get enough of Ricks bread. But like you said, it's a first episode and so the slow build up to get to know everyone is expected. It doesn't mean I won't enjoy the rest of the series. I do like how nice and down to earth everyone is, particularly the girls. None of them have any real cliched personalities.

Christ was that boring...Out of all the 1st episodes this season that one stood out as feeling like a massive waste of time to watch.

Still it is based on an RPG so give it a few more episodes to actually do something that doesn't put me to sleep or have me skipping through the episode.

Just as an aside I love SoL, but this wasn't even good as a sol episode...Stuff like Sakamachi and Tsuritama did the whole slower paced first episode far better.

[Master_Yoma]

This is really cute 3 cute girls who live in a beard shop an catgirl with elf what else can on anime have

[Bonta Kun]

That was rather plesantly pleasant watching.
Looks very nice and so far rather mellow but not exactly boring.
Already alot of foreshadowing for some doom and gloom but I do have my doubts abour how far that will go.
Either way I have no idea where this will go so I am actually excited to see where it does indeed go.

One could simply be in this for someone like Itou Kanae which I see alot of people are and is perfectly acceptable cause I'm in the same boat but I'm now it for the lovely Neris and Rana

And wtf, Hiroshi Kamiya as both Rick and Alvin, I did a double take there
Even had to check ANN to be sure.
Which I noticed Saito Chiwa, Kugimiya Rie, Kuwashima Houko and Horie Yui are also in this!
On top of Itou Kanae and Hirohashi Ryou, it really is a rather great line up for me!

[RX-78GP04G Gerbera]

Cute girls...good reason to keep watching! lol

I don't really get involved in waifu stuff but I'll have to make an exception this time: Amil is claimed. Anyone else who tries to claim her will be killed within 5 seconds!!!!!

Think twice, she is a BL fangirl who tries to ship her own man with another guy.
Serious.

[DorkingtonPugsly]

I like relaxing pleasant episodes like this, even though nothing happened. The girls are nice, the main character is a decent guy for a change, and I do hope interesting things happen and what not. I'll just have nice fun watching this series, even if it turns out to be nothing more than this.

[karuroso]

Slow but enjoyable and all the girls are very good looking and I kinda got some Campanella vibes from this ep, plus its based on a rpg so I'm expecting some action later, but even without action I'm fine with this, I need something slow as well and just looking at those girls was enough =~

Hehe, you're not the only one. I just wanted to watch it cause it's got the legendary Tony Taka's name on it and wow the male lead has it good when I saw three beauties on top of him.

That's what I thought at first too.

[Kaoru Chujo]

I was comparing it to Shukufuku no Campanella, so it didn't seem slow to me, lol. Just a good intro to the story, which will evidently get going in earnest next week. Loved hearing Kamiyan doing two roles. Megalomania?

There was one image of a torn-open loaf of bread that I thought was excellently done: I could almost feel the texture. Other images, not so much. I liked the elf design.

Anyway, I enjoyed the episode more and more as it went on. Seems like a good sign.

[00Coyote]

This show has several things going for it

Spoiler for Cute Girls:

Spoiler for Doing Cute Things:

Spoiler for In Short Skirts:

Spoiler for With Elves:

Spoiler for Who have Awesome Ears:

I also really, really want some good fresh baked bread now.

[Key Board]

pretty show

but I can't help that feel it will run out of budget eventually

[Zieg]

That elf is a copy of Elwing from Shining Tears which is always a good thing
other than that though like most people said it was enjoyable but i hope they do a little more with it.

[gecd]

.......... the last time I played it, I was sure this is a RPG

[OceanBlue]

I thought it was cute.

True that. I will use words more carefully regarding the selection in the future.

It was still a dull episode. I suppose I thought they spent too much time on how everyone can't get enough of Ricks bread. But like you said, it's a first episode and so the slow build up to get to know everyone is expected. It doesn't mean I won't enjoy the rest of the series.

There is nothing wrong with your opinion, if you didn't like it you had solid reason for it. But like I said, I was thinking of those people that already put a final verdic on the show like it already ended. I'm not saying people should like it, I'm just saying to give it a chance. Even I'm not sure if the show will be good, but I would never drop it just because the start was not to my liking.

That aside, I'm really hoping they will change the opening and that it was for the epiosde one only. The one from the game was awesome, and I was really expecting similar to that. None of the side characters appeared in it. Like Xiao-Mei and...

Spoiler for characters that did not appear in the anime yet:

She's actually the same person. Her full name is Elywing Rana Sylphis

[MisaoFan]

Spoiler for Episode 1:

Finished episode 1. Am I one of few episode that like this episode. The world it sets gives me Campanella and Fairy Tail vibes with Yakitate Japan's bread baking moments. I liked the fact that the MC and the three sisters are making bakery to sell to poverished people. And then, Alvin see the sky and announce to Rana that a great storm will launch, and it's pretty much confirmed for the next episode. I really want to expect the action genre after the next episode according to some words in this episode. Liked the artwork (very faithful and give Tony Taka's justice) and effects.
