Hmm, the OP song is actually alright. I find it catchy at least.

They didn't waste much time with the fan service here. But seriously, they have a nice school. The show's premise made me face palm. I know it's a parody but the D part...and also some obvious suggestive camera shots.

Iris is also so innocent.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu (CV for Kirito from Sword Art Online) again...

Though there is an 'ecchi' genre, it focuses more on battles - that's for the first episode. Hope it keeps up for the rest of the episodes.

The raw comes out on Thursdays.... But since this anime was not hyped at all, and the manga/light novel was not hyped at all, AND since this anime is NOT picked up by crunchy or any sites like that, it wouldnt surprise me if the subs come out like 1-7 days later. Yeah......

Which stinks for me since this is one of the two animes that I am watching for Winter 2015. The other is the second half of Aldnoah


Chunchy picked it up.
http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/01/07-1/crunchyroll-adds-unlimited-fafnir-anime-to-winter-lineup

But we will get new ep. about two days after the ep. aired in Japan.

after i watch it, is similar like Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance.

white girl naked, clumsy and innocent, a boy who transfer into school for girl, etc.
but i still enjoy this harem formula lol.

OP song is good i think.

Not really impressive but nothing that horrible either.


Pretty much what I thought. That Lisa bitch is already irking me; reminds me of Infinite Stratos' Cecelia (before episode 3).

OP and ED were okay, and the animation was... I dunno what to say about it. Average?

The subs were iffy. Always saying "Mononobe" or "Iris" instead of "you" or "her" or whatever.

3/5

Well the fansubs I just watched were really lousy, didn't even bother translating the preview. Assuming they were accurate as soon as that plot point about the girls turning into dragons was brought up I wondered when that was gonna happen. Didn't think they'd hint at it as early as the first episode. :D

Anyway this seemed alright, nothing great.

How many generic LN adaptations this season?...This is like word for word ripped off Blade Dance of Elementalers, but the characters aren't as cute.

I also liked Absolute Duo and The Testament of Sister New Devil somewhat better.

wow I'm not even halfway into episode one and it looks too much like Infinite stratos, even a bunch of character designs look similar the colonel/teacher in particular looks like a near photocopy of Okimura Chifuyu. Also does Japan have a hard-on for Norse mythology or something? Cause I've seen way too many series that try to combine magic and/or future tech with norse mythology and terminology and its a little odd. And seriously "girls are blessed with imaginative power", like men can't picture or imagine magic and fantastical powers at all... frankly that's kinda sexist and totally not true. Ok this looks like crap so far but I'll give it another episode or two to see if goes more like Freezing than IS because IS is bad enough, I don't need to see a cut and paste version of it.

It was a good episode.

It was so much similar to Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance and Infinite Stratos.

A boy named Mononobe transfer to all girls' school.

Girls with dragon powers, that is so interesting.

Iris is so innocent.

I wonder what they would've called the dragons if a different one showed up first.

Yuu does seem to have a pretty good (in terms of impact) first impression with everyone.

Iris reacting to the invading dragon! This seems okay, it was still enjoyable.

i couldnt really figure out what this is about from the first episode.. but i guess its another magical harem? havent read LN, not planing to either but we'll see might change my mind later in the series. And the hell.. the teacher? is she as old as the students? They couldve made her more mature.. nice OST however, white leviathan coming to visit next ep w/ iris somewhat panicking and mc being badass as usual or Ichika Orimura in IS s1?

Iris is cute so i will keep watching.

I wasn't really into the series, since it is another cliche standard harem anime, and made me feel sleepy on several scenes. Nothing to special for this. Also all the character are not interesting enough.

I'll still watch this, though IDK if I can keep up with it.

It is just like Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance all over again... although Yoshitsugu Matsuoka's voice is tiring me out. They should have used somebody else (like Kamito's VA).

i don't even wanna watch the anime anymore cause the guy who voiced kirito is voicing this. Not to say his voice is bad,but lately hes been voicing every single harem anime and its starting to annoy me that each and everyone sounds exactly the same.

The show may be a mix of recycled ideas from various previously adapted mangas and novels, but heck which show isn't nowadays?

I for one don't mind a generic SoL/Fantasy Harem show where a bunch of Ojous are stuck with one single boy on a deserted island, left to fend off hoards of mythical creatures derived from ancient folklore......

Yeah, it's really as generic as it gets. But hey, doesn't mean it can't be a fun and interesting watch.

I admit, by now I'm kind of curious to see how often they can regurgitate the very same awful story with the very same shallow cut-out characters before Japan gets tired of it.

This episode was exactly as terrible as the first episodes of other recent LN shows, so I guess this is safely heading towards another 2-3/10 as well.

Again with the big monsters and the girls fighting them. MC was pretty predictable to be honest. He doesn't look at the slightest to be interesting. This is surely a harem so they should put the tag in later. Dragons? Seriously? They need to really put up a more interesting plot and interesting characters than that.

They use dragons like in Cross Ange.
And again, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka is the MP, like in several other anime, which is getting annoying.
The first episode was mediocre. And I don't like the fact that they try to be serious with that cute drawn characters. Doesn't fit at all.

So this season we have Generic harem no Testament, Generic Harem no World Break and this Generic harem no Fafnir, and from what i have seen there are some others as well.
This is the season of generic harems.

In any case i thought i gave this one a try but it was even more generic then i expected i hope there will be some change in it because there wasn't anything new in this anime at all.
And it looks like a direct copy of Generic harem no Blade Dance which aired in Autumn.
The main thing i was thinking at the start was at least put the main in a skirt for ones to make things interesting but shamefully it didn't happen.
For some reason these girls academies always seem the have a tailer made male uniform around.

It was good, definitely reminded me a lot of Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance (which I'm still in the middle of.) I feel like there's so many anime's this season that I'm watching with Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as the MC...which I definitely don't mind at all but it's just funny. xD

Another pretty MEH and bland frist episode, nothing good about it but nothing bad enough to drop it yet either, I'll watch for another episode to see if it keeps my interest.

So 3/5 for Frist episode, really bland season so far.

- immediately recognized Matsuoka, Yoshitsugu's voice; guy is in quite a few shows this season
- this season started with a lot of harem anime huh?
- OP is nice
- comedy+ecchi confirmed
- Midgar? is this FF7? haha
- harem confirmed
- I see a few norse names in the character list (surt, freyja, loki)... interesting
- "let's suddenly ask the guy to do something random and then criticize him for it" *rolls eyes*
- so... fantasy/action as well huh?
- too many characters
- too much action scenes in so little time
- is it just me or does the screen go dark when they perform their moves? that is really super annoying
- screams generic but we'll see
- ED is okay


the writing for the show seems a bit iffy, gonna try a few more episodes

I'm watching for Hidaka Rina. That's about it. I'm not gonna even complain or take any of this anime seriously because I just want to hear more Hidaka Rina.

Not that I would've taken this seriously anyways. I just told myself I wouldn't watch the LN harem adaptation this season, but I guess I'm going against myself.
