I'm left feeling...annoyed somehow

U mad b/c I didn't come to practice? Really?! It's obvious that I don't want to...get over it.

Oh? You don't want to be friends anymore? Fine, clean break, end of story.

Anyway the promotion of this "4 season" was a bit much
XD

Well another ep might help.

Love the opening and the ending. I would continue watching this just for that. Having Sphere voice the characters was a good idea, but Aki Toyosaki's character is so quiet. I must be too used to her role in K-ON!.
For a slice of life, I didn't expect them to start flying. It reminds me of Hanasaku Iroha and The Idolm@sters.
With that wish-granting rock miracle thing, there might be some abuse of that power later on, probably.

Saki just seems like a bitch. She gave no explanation to why she was ignoring her friends or didn't show up to tennis club/practice and didn't tell them she was moving away. All she does is complain and moan about everything so far.

Other than that little problem, the show seems slightly interesting. I have no idea what kind of path it's going to take. If this rock will be some kind of portal to another dimensional plane or it's just a magic rock that grants wishes. Either way, it glowed, and made them defy gravity for a while. DAT ROCK.

... I think the genre tag should read "Slice of hash" instead.

Anyway, I don't like the characters, especially Saki. I'll stick for a bit but I'll probably drop it.

Well, that was not good and not bad. 5/10 for first attempt I'll give.
But seriously, LOLWUT.

Saki is bitching.
Natsumi is confusing.
Yuka is overreacting.
Rin is sleep-walking.

And they believe they can fly.
Damn these girls.

Hard to decide if this is going to be worthwhile watching or not, especially with a strange episode as this.
Although first impression of the lead characters left me with a feeling of annoyance which isn't a good start really.

Well, some of my first impressions...

Unusual show. At first I picked it up, only hoping for a simple slice-of-life anime with the obligatory four girl formula, but I really didn't expect so much drama and supernatural elements from just the pilot episode itself. That being said, the writers certainly did a good job with handling the reactions and feelings of the main characters.

Unfortunately, the characters were a bit of lacking... originality. I'm constantly getting A-Channel vibes from the characters throughout the episode. Aizawa's the stubborn, tomboyish character; Saki's the tsundere; Yuka's the happy-go-lucky airhead; and Rinko's the... quiet one (not expecting Aki Toyosaki to voice her though). It's the same combination that we have seen over and over again.

Oh... Sunrise... You and your awesome animation. I don't have anything to pick about from the episode, it was done greatly.

Regarding the music, nice to hear Sphere singing again after they did the Ika theme song in 2011. And since this show is a HUGE advertisement for Sphere, I might expect them to do some inserts for the show, yeah?

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10 first. It has potential, but everything depends on the next episode.

Hmm, I am not quite sure what to make of this series so far. I feel like I'll be able to watch it and stuff but I am not sure that I will like it all that much. The "rocky" friendship seemed pointless. Until Saki's past is revealed and we discover that she's been abused as a child or something else that explains why she's an emotionless cunt that doesn't even appreciate the ability to fly than I am afraid tis show will just end up meh. The character design was so adorable and next week I will definitely wait for a higher quality version because it looks like the animation at this point is all this series has going for it.

I just watched When They Cry so when all those Cicadas were singing it made me nervous. >.<

Decided to watch this series because of two reasons. Tanaka Yuichi (Toaru Kagaku no Railgun) is doing character design and also Sphere are doing the voices for the main characters. Seems I made the right decision. Enjoyed the first episode and definitely gonna watch the rest of the series.

I only see her as a cunt, egoistical self-entitled bitch.

It's just like they said in Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei years ago: A tsundere without any dere is not a problem, because the latter can just be filled in by imagination :-P


Feels pretty mediocre to me so far. Most of it is all right (albeit standard fare), the music is nice and the occurrence of actual magic was a bit surprising, but Saki's attitude pulled the whole thing down remarkably for me. It will take something BIG to make me even tolerate her now (like child abuse in her past - thanks to femalegoblin for thinking that up). I most likely won't be able to finish this when they don't bring up a decent motive for her soon.

That was painfully boring, and I totally saw that miracle thing coming. I hope it gets better, but this episode was just too meh. The girls are all annoying, too, except that pink haired one and that's probably because she only had like, two lines.

That was rather boring watching Saki being on the rag the whole episode and it taking us about half the episode to figure out why.

It was so predictable that their original wish was to be an "Idol" group.

The whole "flying" like peter pan thing was so left field. They're bitching at each other and the pink mop hair decides, "i want to fly." And suddenly they all do. WTF?!

There was part of me that was thinking "damn i wonder how their going to get down." Then, I had the novel thought that the series wouldn't be so boring if the dropped like a sack of potatoes and went splat. An animated skydiving accident with four school girls would be awesome. But then again their wouldn't be 11 more episodes of moeblobness. Oh perish the thought.

I'm such a cynical bastard.

The main reason why I picked this up is that the members of Sphere voice the girls, and the last season was horrible OP-wise, I was looking forward to hearing something as good as Hazy, but so far it was nothing special. The OP wasn't bad or anything, but I was hoping for something better. I like the ED though.

Poor Saki, must be horrible going about her everyday business with a utility pole shoved up her *ss. The flying part caught me off-guard, didn't think we would have supernatural elements here. I hope they'll make a wish so that Saki does not have to move. 4/5.

Edit: The scenery was great too.

Yeah really. Why is it that whenever someone sees a bitchy cunt they automatically assume it's a tsundere? DERP.

Someone quick rescue Saten from Railgun they coloured her hair green and threw her into this shitty melodrama and started calling her Yuka. I mean can you rip off her design anymore it was like a clone they are even similar personality wise sort of, they should of just completely ripped her off it would of made this anime better.

Saki is not a tsundere, like Quasar said she is a "egoistical self-entitled bitch" yeah yeah we get it your sad your moving and its hard for you and your all sad panda. Does not mean you have to crush your friends because you feel crappy. Oh and her line about them being middle schoolers now and to stop acting like kids, im pretty sure when i last checked middle schoolers are very much kids. Shouldnt they of went for high school girls if they wanted to pull stuff like that?

Anyway they seriously just chucked all this drama crap at us in the very first episode? At least give us one episode before you start this big load of drama llama stuff then we might of slightly gave a crap about the characters. Its like a stranger just comming up to you and bitching to you about their issues suddenly, you dont care and you sit there thinking why are you telling me?

Magic stone makes you fly? Because the drama is not enough i guess. Did not know some magic crap was going to be thrown in. They were rather calm about being god knows how high in the air.

Well i will see where this goes for now but atm its not looking good.

Kind of enjoyable, mostly due to Sphere voicing girls which is pretty damn awesome even though they're not using their best voices.
Episode was rather messed up though, like that flying coming out of fucking nowhere when they didn't even stop arguing over what to wish for.
All in all, i have to watch it for Sphere, but i hope later episodes won't be so messed up.
