LOL this show... It seems like this episode should be one of the middle episodes & not the first one since nothing is really explained, like how Nina go there, who Rio is, etc.

And the magical girl transformation scene.. why is it necessary if Nina just uses her mini computer?? LOL

Anyway, I really liked the manga so I thought I'd watch this.. looks like things will be pretty different.

This seems like a retro-style animation--but I see it isn't that old. Fairly amusing first episode, but it looks like we've jumped into the middle of the story. I smell a flashback or two coming...
Please don't feed the trolls!

I really don't understand what people did not like about this episode.

It was a while since I laughed this hard while watching an anime :D

Ultra Maniac is surely a magical girl anime for the modern age. They integrated magic and technology for casual usage, and the show seems oddly flippant in using magic publically, despite the usual warnings of keeping muggles in ignorance. If anything, the show feels like a mid-90s sitcom, contextually dating itself with its conduct and unabashedly straightforward introduction to its world, characters, and character relationships.

Just watched the first episode, I can't be the only one who thinks Sakura Nina looks, dresses and acts exactly like Sakura Kinomoto, even down to having the same name and being magical. Even the style of the show feels like it was made by Clamp. That can't be a coincidence.

I found this anime on accident. It's really cute. This first episode was adorable and I love it a lot. I am a bit surprised that the story didn't start with Nina and Ayu meeting first like with the OVA, but the first episode does help to set up expectations with the dynamic between Nina and Ayu in a way that's incredibly fun and cute.

Overall, it was a good first episode!

//I didn't know that this was going to be a public post. Oops;;

But, I genuinely enjoyed the first episode. It's a sweet little thing that I found on accident, but happy accidents are always fun!
