It was a pretty boring episode :/ Hope it gets better in the next episodes.

Thought it might be an alright show since it's not some high-school magic bullshit but sometimes LN need to stay as LN.

The characters and setting look interesting. I'm liking the dynamic between Gaius and Gigina, as well as the behind-the-scenes politics but I feel kinda intimidated by the exposition on the use of magic. To understand what Gaius is saying, one would need to have knowledge on quantum physics, which is not an easy sell to an average viewer. As any self-respecting pilot, this episode sets up quite a few interesting storylines and I look forward to see what happens. Definitely a keeper for this season!

It was ok, waiting for episode 2, not a strong start but there are a lot of potential.

I liked it enough to keep watching it, but that was too much of a info dump while still leaving unanswered background questions.

When the OP contains many characters relatively to just 12 episodes, warning bells have started to chime to me lately. Which “Dances with the Dragons” do have. It does has potential though, I still want to see what they are going to do with this.

Out of curiosity, has anyone here actually read the source?

I kinda got the same feeling I got with Kyokaisenjou no Horizon.. That there's an enormous amount of information outside the anime, they are trying to cram as much of that information as possible into the anime, that some of it is expected to be known by the viewers before watching, and that this show is being made FOR the readers and new people be damned. I could be wrong, since I am not familiar with the source, in which case this truly will end up being forgettable chuuni trash on par with Mahou Sensou.

"Quantum" is just the scientific word for "Magic". XD If you treat the technobabble as incantations in a traditional magic-based show, it's nowhere near as hard to deal with.

Yeah, the sheer amount of exposition in this show makes it feel like your studying for a test, not being entertained. Seems like their more interesting in world building than actually developing the characters or telling an interesting story.

I'm not even going to bother with this one.

Your right. What the heck is a Draken? I don't know, but the show sure does love talking about them like we should know what they are.

I mean... it was decent. The animation was okay at best (besides the fight against the dragon) So I'll just keep this in my "watch when it got some episodes" list. However the longer the more I get reeeeeally pissed by how many series use CGI crowds. Not that CGI is bad, its just... if you use CGI, then please make it at least look good. Cause this is mere shit you're posting isntead of real art craftsmanship

For the first time I'm agreeing with MAL's ratings. Most things just went over my head. I totally lost it when they showed those weapons with magic circles around them after all that talk about progress in science and heir powers being derived from quantum field and whatnot.

So much infodump with half of it meaningless babble or overly long names... got some dragon territory conflicts, some small nation foreign politics & a serial killer.
The pairing feels silly but ok cool art & fights.
Feels like Jikan no Shihaisha, monsters get much stronger the older they get.
Music is cool tho.

emmmm……it‘s very complicated……this happened in vol7 and 8.
these two volumes‘s main character was a girl chased by a dragon.
Gauis saved the girl at the begining and he helped her to find back her memory.But at last he almost lost everything including his girlfriend‘s love( ;´Д`)

Pretty interesting. I like the relationship between the two leads, and giving Gaius a girlfriend already is a nice touch, kind of gives me a retro anime vibe, plus no harem nonsense.

a bit sad this was so boring and confusing. the world seems interesting enough and i gotta say, gigina is pretty hot for a guy wearing a cropped top.
