I had to do a double-check after watching the episode to make sure this was actually a KyoAni work. It really didn't feel like one. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing at all.

Being honest, this is how the experience went for me. Kind of "Meh'd" the first scene, really enjoyed the OP, then for a while the show felt as tired as the park itself, which after thinking on it for a bit, may have been the intent (as risky as it is). When you come to the realization that pulling guns out of her skirt isn't a weird comedy gimmick at all, and there's actual magic here, ridiculous as the premise sounded, then you can't help but become interested.

So yeah, consider me invested for the time being. Plus, the delayed "Kyaa~" was a fun bonus.

Just saw ep 1

it's interesting

however I think the manga is a bit more Dramatic when they introduced the park stuff and talked about the deadline/quota.

And yea... the delayed "kyaa~" was SOOO cute.

Plus... where did she keep that musket? hehehe

SamVision · 2014-10-08, 12:51

This gets more interesting later on if it follows the light novel properly. I admit the setup time is longer than it should be.

IceHism · 2014-10-08, 13:22

That was fun and the characters are funny and interesting. I'm on board.

anyone know who it is?

Kisumi · 2014-10-08, 13:53

Watched 1st episode. Animation is flawless in my opinion, loved how they animated main character's facial expressions. Opening made me want to cosplay everyone in this show

D Also, in ending the fire fairy looks exactly like Will form W.I.T.C.H. xDDD
It wasn't like really interesting, but I enjoyed it. Didn't really like main heroine, she looks like Senjogahara's parody, hopefully, I'll change my opinion in next episodes. Totally loved that princess-manager girl and also main hero (but that's probably because I'm attracted to emotional guys

)
Now - 8/10
hoping for as more magic as possible. Couldn't someone tell me approximate percentage of non-magic and magic stuff, that's going on in the novel? ^^

Which is absolutely fine by me, since I never got the appeal of "moe solely for the sake of moe".

At least there appears to be something more here than just that

I wasn't expecting too much since I heard Moe, Moe, Moe...

And then I got to see the plot. Instant sell. Yeah Gatoh has still got his A+ game. Now let's hope that all of this is adapted by Kyoani as opposed to what they did to my... FMP... *cries in a corner*.

This premise looks pretty darned fantastic, and I'm more than a little excited to see more. It looks really fun. 10/10. Kyoani at its best.

Oddly enough, the scene that made me laugh the loudest was the dead frog.

KyoAni usually animates very lush wildlife, so to see them draw a dead frog kinda tickled my funny-bone a lot.

Cheers.

MeoTwister5 · 2014-10-09, 03:17

The funniest part part for me was the misaligned rail. Because for all the decrepit rundown state of the park, that was the last thing I expected.

That was honestly pretty hilarious.

One other element that made the show more promising to me was the MC getting mind-reading powers. There's a lot of potential in that specific character/plot element alone, which with decent-or-better writing should enable the show to be more than simply "RollerCoaster Tycoon: The Anime".

This is what I'm here for. I still have that game to. But the magic powers and mind reading is certain interesting. Hopefully, he uses it to level up the park and not just his harem.

I have had terrible memories of Final Destination 3.

Spoiler for Episode 2:

Kusano · 2014-10-09, 16:06

Watched episode 2, Ok the mascots are saving the show for me.

**Klashikari** · 2014-10-09, 16:42

Episode 2 pacing and content were way better than episode 1, by far.
Good to see Seiya wasn't dragged by the flow immediately. Pretty much a refreshing male lead and he is pretty interesting with his approach (his narcissist persona sure helps, especially with his "motivating" speech

).

The series also poses a lot of potential with the full cast, and the mascots have hilarious punch lines (and knowing SABER, Kawasumi, is voicing Moffuru "aggravate" this).
Now the problem is... that bomb Seiya has left right at the end of the ep

dexecutioner Member Join Date: May 2014	Spoiler for Episode 2: I have to say... I prefer the manga version over the anime. I don't know if it's just me but it seems Kyoani kinda hated doing this series. The music has a weird timing, the direction is kinda bad, the story felt rushed and the camera angles are just... ugh. Even the background arts are nothing to boast about which is one of the studio's assets aside from their animation. as for that, though still good but it's barely there. It's full of long shots and stills which is slightly unusual for kyoani. I'll stick for one more episode (because it has swimsuits :3) after that I'm out and probably gonna marathon this.
