Well I just watched the first episode, and it's seems to be pretty good. Though I wish there were more female characters because the gay undertones are a bit weird.
In any case, I can't help but think Mikage was just begging to get killed off. I mean, he kept talking about his family, and how he wants to protect them, yadda yadda yadda. I mean, in movie stereotypes, the ones who are the first to die are the soldiers who talk about the families/future and the rookies. And Mikage qualifies as both. Well, this doesn't seem like the kind of anime where lots of characters will die, but I still can't help thinking Mikage has a gigantic bullseye painted on his forehead...

Saw the first episode, it was fairly interesting. It had some action in it, the main bad guy seems pretty badass. Looks like he would kill anything that gets in his way.
On another note no wonder that guy got the porn, its a total sausage fest in there. |

Watched the first episode today. I've read the first 15 chapters of the manga, but it was kind of confusing. When I watched the anime it made a LOT more sense. Looking forward to seeing more.
Sidenote/question: Do their Zaiphon attacks not spell things out in the anime?

Was a little odd wth the lack of women, but nothing gay besides that.(well, maybe that one guy by ayanami)
This show looks like a great surprise show for me, I had not even heard about it until I saw the first ep annd thought "this is awesome" I am waiting for someone to come in, project yaoi into this series, and suggest two guys to hook up. 3,2,1, NOW.

I don't think that this will become more suggestive than Nanoha x Fate. Everything is just in our imagination.
But speaking of the show itself, I kinda like it. It was pretty different from what I usually watch yet interesting. It reminds me of Code Geass without Zero.

Watched the first ep. I was assuming this was another kind of those fujoshi bait animes and I wasn't wrong. Worse, I even shamelessly took the bait..okay going on...
Aside from the obvious bl hints, the story is quite intriguing. Since I'm a sucker for mythology and religious fiction in general, it quite fills my bill. The overall architecture of the universe is nice too, hats down to the animators on this one. Characters more or less seem to be like the usual archetypes that are presented in these kinda action shojo wannabe shonen mangas, but I can handle that..for now at least.

I watched the Raw and found the animation horrible, I know nothing of the story so I wikied it. and was even more horrified that such a great story gets such mediocre drawing cheap looking drawing. Now once I saw the sub the episode sat better with me.

Enjoyed the first episode . Anyways the plot isn't some real giant mystery really. Not a bad thing either. The OP and ED are both great. Animation is decent as well. Episode just seems to grab my interest but it doesn't do anything spectacular in which it doesn't have to for me.

Watched subbed episode 1 today (since I'm a bit afraid without sub, I'll get more lost than I did in the manga ), and pretty much it's a good thing that it's easier to understand the story better than the manga counterpart.
A good start for the series, but I might need a bit more episodes to be able to follow this anime faithfully, considering other anime series this spring are potentially plausibly better than this one. ;x; The fact that I'm in crazed fangirling mode for a certain Zero-Sum manga and BL Game is not helping either--not much time can be spared for this series... P.S: I await the inevitable delicious fanservice merchandises and drollable official arts. Not that the manga hasn't given me it though. It's Gangan's a.k.a Square Enix adaptation after all~~ I believe in them leeching our money with official guidebook and everything else~~

Very intriguing first episode, I must say. An interesting cast of characters, I particularly liked the villains, and a pretty cool setting. My only issue so far is the pacing, I feel that things might be progressing a bit too quickly, though I have no knowledge of the source material.
As for the homosexual undertones and lack of female characters, I certainly don't mind them. There are tons of harems for your 5 women for every man fixes.

Saw the first episode yesterday and wow, Studio Deen is really going over the top with the dramatic music aren't they? I hope they tune that down a notch, I was almost cracking up every time the music got too dramatic. And the opening song almost had me laughing too, Tetio, doesn't sitting up there hurt?

Hmm, fairly good first episode, but all the hallmarks of a typical rage drama. I'll definitely be skipping it, as I typically hate that kind of lame ass drama. Or rather, I'll wait til the final episode is complete, and watch that. If it has a good ending, then I'll know whether or not its worth suffering through all the crap drama I know they're going to throw in there.

Pretty decent first episode with some nice fighting scenes. The draw back we have seen this a million time before. Nothing really stood out that much to me but like i said i liked the first episode for what it was. But i feel like i will be able to predict this one far to easily.
