When I saw the Spring Anime list I was a little disappointed, but so far I've found a few shows that I actually liked, and this was one of them. They certainly didn't beat the first episode to death with a slow pace, and it seems like it might be a decent series.

Yeah, I checked this out today on Anime Network, and I have to say that I was impressed. The first episode was a blast. The only thing I didn't like was the need to suddenly have three new female characters shows up during the last five minutes.

Also, according to the translated credits at the end of the show, Sentai has already acquired it. So hopefully, we will get a DVD release before the end of the year.

BTW, the subs on this were very good. They're about what you would expect on a normal ADV DVD. Different fonts, different colors for multiple speakers, all on screen text translated, OP and ED translated. I wish CR and Funi would pay this kind of attention to their subs.

If they can keep this up, I hope Anime Network gets some more simulcasts in the future. (Hopefully followed by a speedy DVD release!)

I just watched the first ep last night. Looks promising, with some fun characters and a interesting story so far. Looking forward to more.

ZeroRyoko1974 · April 13th, 2010, 04:05 AM

I wonder if loplop is watching this.

DazarGaidin · April 13th, 2010, 10:50 AM

Saw the first episode. Some pretty cheesey stuff and gratuitous fanservice, but i got some chuckles out of it too. I might keep watching.

I know im prolly expecting to much from this show but

Her rope thong looks painful.

loplop would definitely dig the nurse/teacher

ZeroRyoko1974 · April 13th, 2010, 11:15 AM

I think it's called a Fundoshi or something

loplop · April 13th, 2010, 03:48 PM

Lop's checklist . . . .

Jukujo/Milf major character . . . . Check

Nurse character . . . . Check

Major fan service for no reason . . . . Check

Airs on AT-X in expanded version . . . . Check

Verdict . . . . Yes, I'm watching this

adadqgg · April 13th, 2010, 05:17 PM

I am watching and enjoying this.

If that was any shorter, I'd sig it.

This is actually looking half-decent.

All the things I hate about anime:
Fanservice
Harem
Magic
Huge misunderstandings

But for some reason, this show actually isn't bad. Maybe they're actually getting the fanservice right, the harem... ok well that's terrible (3/4 ain't bad), the magic isn't as bad as some shows I've seen, and the misunderstandings are actually somewhat funny.

Then again, I only watched the first episode.

ZeroRyoko1974 · April 14th, 2010, 01:35 PM

Maybe the head from this show should hook up with Celty's head from Durarara, they would make a nice severed head couple

fujyoshi · April 16th, 2010, 05:33 AM

I actually started watching this the other day, its pretty funny. Its a little fan service heavy though for people that like that.

DavenIII · April 16th, 2010, 10:09 AM

Soooo much fanservice.

I liked the premise, kinda like Harry Potter but Harry's actually told by the hat that he's some demonlord...

thought it was gonna be cool, but nope, it's just 95-99% Fanservice....

trust me, I don't "dislike" fanservice, but it makes a better impact when the characters serve some purpose "besides" jump in the air to show the panties.

fujyoshi · April 16th, 2010, 10:16 AM

in terms of the fan service its like air gear in that area more then like rosario + vampire or something. I stopped watching rosario because of all that fanservice /heh Then again like I said being funny always makes up for a piss load 'a fan service that I don't really care for. Although it would be nice if someone also came out of it for me ;p the main character guy does though (: and that one that admires him <3 oohh I see where thats going in a nutshell

mdauben · April 16th, 2010, 07:16 PM

Just watched ep 3 and I'm still liking it.

I honestly don't know what all the comments about excessive fanservice are about, though. Sure, its got fanservice, but it is far from as OTT as some other shows.

I think after her pledge she was the one who betrayed him But im thinking to much into this show, cause all they wanted was an excuse for some tsundere service Her rope thong looks painful. loplop would definitely dig the nurse/teacher __________________ The Third - FMP! - R.O.D.
