| The amount of people who are not giving this anime a chance because it looks like a typical magical girl anime is insane. Why is this so underrated though. It is cause of the picture that looks too similar to other magical girl shows? The summary is not that interesting? Fair enough only 1 episode has been aired so far but i still agree this is one of the better fall animes for me even top 3 fall animes. I really hope this gets a bit more recognized. I hope the animation does not drop otherwise that would be a bit disappointing however i have high hopes for this show, lets hope it gets even better from here. |
 |
| it's really goooood! |
| i cant say its underrated coz the show is only on episode 1, it has the possibility to become a completely mediocre anime if done wrong due to its magical girl setting. But one thing for sure, this show is definitely underwatched, ranking of 21 among other anime aired this season. This is a very interesting first episode, it deserve to be known to a larger audience. On top of that it seems like one of those rare family friendly anime among the other anime that may contain several embarrassing stuff that should not be exposed to normal human being. |
 |
| This one and Girlish Number are both pretty underrated. It's understandable though, these are original anime from not popular studios. They are unlikely to be spotted in the early season. But give it some times, if they do well, they will eventually receive their deserving scores. Also, Flip Flappers ED is best ED of 2016. |
| No, that title goes to Shakunetsu no Takkyuu and that one is underwatched as well. But this show here is definitely special. |
| I have listened to the OP so many times. My personal season favorite, but I just now discovered that I haven't added it to my PTW. :D |
| Does anyone really expect anime fans to have taste or the intelligence to try something new? Either the public consensus shifts, or it doesn't, I guess that depends on how the word is spread. |
| Loved the first episode. I have big expectations for this anime :D |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
RipperIsHere said: In my opinion it's between Endride and Divine Gate. I give you 2/10 for this bait. |
 |
| Only watched 1st episode so far I say that Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku and Lostorage Incited WIXOSS are way better than this and both have lower score. So, it is not underrated in my opinion Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku is the most underrated in this season |
| Why does love confusing underrated with overlooked? |
| What, you're deciding without a vote? Where has our democracy gone? |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| it's too soon to tell (╯≧ロ≦) ╯ but so far this show is one of those gems that you can replay the episodes without getting tired of watching it~ the animation is so fluid and the colors are so mesmerizing. |
| I've just gone ahead and given it a preliminary 10. Whatever score I end up giving it, my measly vote will help draw the score up and hopefully some more people will notice it. |
| I think it's too early to call it underrated, but yeah, it's my favorite of the season so far. |
| Taking into account the difference between what a given score means from me and from the average MAL user, and the potential I see in this series based on not just the surface presentation, but the numerous details and what they likely mean for the series, yeah, I'd consider 7.5-ish underrated. Perhaps underwatched as well, though it looks to be gaining some popularity. |
| Tbh it didn't look like a magical girl show to me at all. I expected something like Alice in Wonderland, and kind of got something similar, except with girls going Hokuto no Pretty Pure Z. Hrybami said: This one and Girlish Number are both pretty underrated. Also, Flip Flappers ED is best ED of 2016. Girlish Number is probably because of lagging simulcast, so your average viewer either needs to watch when it's out in Japanese or never. Kind of Regalia that had a production break and reset, so now barely anyone is keeping up MAL (though Regalia looks kinda bad) And yeah, Flip Flap best ED. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
No, Dreamcatcher by nano is the best ED of 2016 of the show Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku. |
 |
| Giving this one a chance. Gonna watch it later. |
Laraid said: Giving this one a chance. Gonna watch it later. Definitely dude. I was skeptical at first when I saw the summary and cover image, but it's so freaking good. You won't regret it |
 |
| This anime looks amazing! I'm not so sure that it is underrated though. I'm definitely watching it when I get the chance! |
| people die when they are killed |
| Well, it looks like my favorite show of the season. Psykofreac said: From what I've seen, this show is pretty popular, certainly not underrated. Now with 3 episodes out though, I don't know much else going for this show other than it's pretty. Basically, pacing. This anime is actually dynamic, something anime adapted from drawn-out media like LN and manga have trouble with. The balance of power seems to shift every episode - most things that happened in these 5 episodes would have been put into dramatic ending of an ordinary anime. Every episode seems to have its own theme, kind of like Excel Saga, so you never get boren with their adventures. It's also pretty funny, in a cartoonish way. |

You won't regret it Well... Watched till ep 4. The series looks very nice. However I found it rather boring. Also, I hate Papika with all my heart. |
| still heavily underrated |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Yep, it's way more interesting than anything else released this season, or even the entire year, but people won't watch it because "hurr durr muh moeshit" |
| Is this a magical girl anime? From this season alone I have Izetta, Magical Girl Raising Project, Matoi Sacred Slayer on my watch schedule. I have Mahou no Stella to catch up to :) |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |

I agree on everything, also it's really nice to see an anime with both great OP&ED which are my favorites overall from this season. |

Lobinde said: Yep, it's way more interesting than anything else released this season, or even the entire year, but people won't watch it because "hurr durr muh moeshit" Agreed. Anything I say is going to be an understatement, but this anime is warm and amazing. And it's original. There were discussions years ago about the future of anime and if more studios can pull off original anime consistently. I hope that is where anime is going, incorporating a larger percentage of original material every season. Don't judge a book by its cover, or anime page picture. I'm still amazed that the rating is not higher 6 or 7 episodes in. Don't miss this opportunity to watch something awesome. |

| Everyone is praising Yuri on ice while Flip flappers is here and it depresses me. It's like people are amazed by the same thing over and over while ignoring the new cool "inovative" shiny things. |
Windman said: Flip Flappers most underrated with such high scores??? Bro do you even Wixoss or Vivid Strike? Well, it was around 7.4 at the start of the season, which is when this thread started, so... |

Well, I don't know if I'd say Yuri on Ice is the same thing over and over, but I do agree that Flip Flappers is better. |
| I'd like Flip Flappers SO much better if it wasn't about forcing a teenager to recognize and accept her sexuality. >_> But they just HAD to make it about that, didn't they....... IMHO the show's brilliant writing and visuals would be better spent on a more tasteful theme. Yuri ain't my thing, bruhs. And lesbian sex jokes between two fourteen-year-old girls who look and act like younger children REALLY is not my thing...... |

| Girlish Number and Flip-Flappers aren't only underrated, they're better than anything last season |

IMHO the show's brilliant writing and visuals would be better spent on a more tasteful theme. Yuri ain't my thing, bruhs. I honestly don't think going on an exploring about a person sexuality would be a bad thing as far as I am concerned (I've only seen 4 episodes but yet again I personally think its well executed at most) The girls' ages and the art style make it feel squicky. I'd prefer if the theme was more about finding family/ friendship discovering who you are/ learning to love yourself; something like that would be nicer. Give it time.....episode 07 is when it gets uncomfortable.... |

Cruxador said: Did someone hack your account? This sentiment is pretty well at odds with your signature. Lol Karin and Kazune never have sex in their manga. Kazune was drawn with his shirt off just for fanservice...as the series Kamichama Karin is marketed to young girls, not lolicon pervs like this show probably is. Also, I like boyxgirl better than girlxgirl, on average. Episode 7 in particular is about the characters' relationship and is largely not related to sexuality at all, I'd say only three of Papika's forms are in a romance context, of which two are male. I guess you missed the nail clippers joke. So did I....until I researched what it meant and now I am grossed out and don't want to think about it ever. |

Cruxador said: You're avowing love (presumably romantic love, therefore sexuality) of children, while saying that sexuality in tweens (the age where sexuality normally begins) isn't okay. Children? Karin and Kazune are older than they look. Koge-Donbo draws most of her characters this way. I didn't say it "isn't okay". I said I "wasn't fond of this theme for Flip Flappers". Something being okay or not okay....a person liking it or disliking is irrelevant, you know? I don't think it fits. Every series is different. No, romance isn't the same thing as sex. People love saying that to cheapen the idea of romance. I mean, if you have homophobia issues that limit your enjoyment of the media Ergh. Not liking ficticious yuri or yaoi=/=homophobia. Seriously, people who love these genres need to stop with this mindset. Yuri and yaoi in fact fetishize homosexual relationships so much that real homosexual people find them offensive. I've seen a lot of complaints about this, in fact. I prefer het ships in media because I can relate better to them, is all. There's also a much bigger variety to choose from. Seriously? You were fine with episode 5, but a pair of nail clippers did it for you? Did you not get what it means? It was a sexual intercourse joke about lesbians. Like "Clip your nails so you don't hurt me when you touch me down there". Episode 05 didn't have any sexual intercourse jokes....at least not ones that I recognized and if it did, I'd rather stay ignorant of them. Hugs and dry kissing between minors is fine. Sex is not. Thus: I do not want to think about Papika and Cocona having sex. And the show was like "WELL, LOL, HERE'S THAT IMAGE FOR YOUR HEAD." |

Cruxador said: Yeah but you also called out art style on this series so. Because it doesn't fit the theme, imho. If you disagree, whatever. Sex is a part of romance Not always. They're teenagers, it's safe to assume that there's fingers going in there one way or another regardless of anything else, just like pretty much every teenager. o____O What? Not all teenagers finger themselves, you sicko. I sure as hell didn't because it's disgusting and I can't picture either one of those girls doing this. Well, if you saw a nail clipper and decided to visualize lesbian sex, that's on you. Seeing "they could potentially cut their figernails... and that could lead to fingers in bodily orifices which is sex!" is way more of a stretch than getting something similar than sucking fingers, which is literally a finger in a bodily orifice anyway. You've picked a real weird place to draw a line in the sand, anyway. I didn't even know what it meant at first. It was a blog that pointed it out. And it was entirely intentional, not a "stretch" of any sort. Explain to me why else nail clippers would be there, then? |
