Spoil ? really ? it's not about spoil. It's damn obvious that she's a girl , did you saw the full episode ?
Unless hermaphrodite or so...

And FYI , i didn't read the manga...

I watch this only for Sena-sama and her servant, Kodaka.

Don't care about anything else except maybe the imouto.

Okay, I guess that was the case for Episode 4 - sorry to hear it felt rushed for him/her. But here's the deal - what works in manga doesn't always work in anime. When you're doing a one-season show, you can't afford to get sidetracked by secondary tier characters for too long. Now let's say the material from the manga was covered in full. What happened in Episode 4 would have taken another 1-2 episodes just to cover Maria, Yuki and Rika. Not to mention the emphasis on Yozora would have been lost too. As much as Episode 4 was an intro for those three characters, it belonged to Yozora because she continually took the attention back to her with her behaviour. And when you're maintaining a 3 character core, you need such pacing to happen. A single episode focused on just Yuki or Rika would have been nice for their fans - but for the overall story and the character mix, it would have been detrimental. When you make the conversion from one medium to another, you have to make changes of some sort to make it work within the new set of limits and timeframes.
.

Well that's why I asked how the non-readers felt about it, it felt "megarushed" to me because I know all the stuff skipped, but if for non-readers it seemed normal, then that's just fine.

[TakezoMusashi]

Even if they skipped some stuff, they got they main points of the new characters in there so its probably fine.

[NoOneKnowS]

Was Rika actually reading an Ero-Doujin? Or was just making it sound like an ero mecha pron? Got confused with Rika reading with (while the visuals show an eva and a gundam fighting). Still awesome though.

[TakezoMusashi]

Pretty sure it was just her reading something normal like it was porn.

Why you think I wanted to look up that skirt?

I refuse to believe the dark shadow censor is there XD

Allow me to quote myself on the Yukimura issue:

It's not the only reason, though it is part of it. What I like about it is that actual effort is put into the comedy and it doesn't rely on hitting the main character or bad cooking jokes like that OTHER well-liked comedy anime. Also, the fanservice, while plenty, is not nearly as blatant or plentiful as the opening suggests (seriously, that opening kind of sucks). And of course, in the end, it does come back to the fact that I like the characters.

[Archon_Wing]

Like Kaioshin, I wasn't very fond of the loli nun. Actually, I'm just not fond of lolis such as these, she reminds me of Index, and has the same VA, so that will probably be really annoying for me.

However, despite this the show is funny in the fucked up kind of way. Sorta like Izaya in the first part of Durarara where he's just utterly despicable, but then you can't help but lol at those antics. However, Yozora is definitely a jerkass and a lot of it she brings upon herself. Well, I'd say the same about most of the cast too.

Also, that Mecha parody was pretty funny. Rika's so ridiculous, she makes everyone else look less insane.

Overall the anime is nothing special, and the OP can burn in hell, but it sure is funny for whatever reason.

Well, it barely counts as singing you see.

In terms of OPs this season:
Gundam Age > Chihayafuru >> Persona 4 = Fate/Zero >> Mirai Nikki >>Everything Else > Guilty Crown >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shana III >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This

Watch Ben-to OP, is quite good.

I agree the BokuTo's OP music is just horrible, but the visuals makes it worth.

I feel like we're travelling back in time four weeks when we already had this discussion, but I am still surprised that the OP is so divisive. I guess it's because it's ultra-fast-paced and "busy"? From a musical perspective it's got a lot going on, but I wouldn't have said it has less "musicality" than the average "catchy OP song"... but I guess it's just a matter of taste. I suspect that, given the pedigree, it'll probably sell decently-well as a CD Single... but may still be "love it or hate it". I can also see that some other people may not have liked the blatant fanservice... but then again, others may like it, so that could be "love it or hate it" too.

[Midonin]

I like it. Mr. H@ck has a way with making music that really sticks in your head. But then again, I liked the Twin Angel OP from last season, and that song was arguably more of an acquired taste than this one. The melody just catches me, I suppose.

I've always preferred the Badass Lolita style as described by "that" website. Loud and annoying doesn't really do it for me though.
