| I'm stuck here. The animation is good and the comedy is good, but the story and plot so far are terrible :V The OP is okay and I'm not a fan of the ED. lmao at the penis shadow though XD |

| Best penis joke I've seen in anime in a long time that didn't involve phallic objects, puns, or dropping towels. Surprise hit for me. I'm glad I decided to watch it on a whim. The fact it doesn't take itself seriously is a really nice plus for all the comedy that followed. This is the first Anime no Chikara to both interest me and make me want more past the first episode. |
 |
| Art didn't yet catch me, don't like the facial expressions. Was surprised about who voiced the teacher. Just hoping that it won't be swallowed by fanservice.. Storywise it's pretty interesting, promising. ..and I got so wtf when the guy came down o_o Fleshy-Ending? why? <.< |
| Best one this season for me. I expected it to take itself really seriously but I was surprised to see some really good humor. I will definitely be following this. |
 |
| thats summer season anime for you. That was very promising start. I really liked the first episode spooky and funny + some violence the female lead was ver well dressed and cool. nyamo said: lol that was a good joke XDanimation style is terrible imo The animation looks good to me. |

| The animation was indeed terrible. Overall not that terrible, could work as a comedy but should it take a more serious approach and it will turn into plain shit. |
| The fluidity with which the comedy is implemented makes this show very interesting. I'm loathe to watch High School of the Dead, but I'm going to anyway. At least there may be one good show this season. |
| I'm sorry, how is this terrible animation? I thought it was very fluid. noteDhero said: At least there may be one good show this season. Hey personally, the new Digimon is pretty awesome. |
 |
| best premiere this summer, probably best show too imo |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |

| After my initial doubt since it's another summer show.. I really enjoyed this! I'm looking forward to how Maya's "plan" to destroy the school will play out. The animation is really good and Maya's reactions were hilarious. (i.e., shadow penor) I guess I can say this is what I wanted Kaidan Restaurant to be like, sorta? |

| Good first episode, but only if compared to other first episodes I watched this season. Now I can only hope that Shiki won't disappoint me. |
wheresthehandle said: best premiere this summer, probably best show too imo Im going to lean with best premiere.. second best show.. (and no not HSOTD is the best in my opinion this summer) I basically just gave this a try on a whim.. Im glad I did.. I really like Maya alot.. her character in general is just appealing.. I dont think Ive watched anything about ghosts and spirits yet.. so Ill give it a go... 7/10 so far.. if I fall more in love with Maya it will probably go up again.. LOL I think if someone's watching only one anime this summer.. this would be a really good second one for them to pick up. |

| Maya is quite adorable when she as a child. Now, she looks so elegant, like I would like her to step on me or something. |

5camp said: Well that was a pleasent surprise! Genre savvy, doesn't take itself entirely seriously while keeping it serious enough that you care about what's going on. Also Maya's one piece dress is such a constant tease. Good stuff! Maybe we'll finally see an Anime no Chikara anime work? Yeah thats an incredible one piece dress.. She has SEXY LEGS!!!! |

| This series honestly surprised me. From the somewhat good animation, and music opening, I wasn't expecting something of a darker version of Ghostbusters meets Scooby Doo, but it still turned out great. A1 has done it again. |

GreyWinged said: Totally bums me out that this will probably be the most overlooked show of the season. Actually, I think with 11 pages of talkback, it seems to be fairly well looked-at. |

| Wasn't expecting this to be that enjoyable, but I was pleasantly surprised =] Maya's facial expressions were priceless. I'm trying not to think of this as Scooby Doo but with actual spirits and fewer masked perpatrators ('My glasses, where are my glasses' xD) Now why can't shiny naked boys come down from the sky more often? |

| that totally took me by suprise.. I just watched the first episode out on a whim, and after watching the first few minutes I thought that I'm definitely gonna drop this show, then just after a little more patience hanging on the show, WTH? it's a comedy? it really took me by surprise I never checked the genre of the show, so I really didn't expect it to be a comedy especially since the atmosphere is very serious at the start.. very interesting first episode, and nice cliff hanger at the end, I'll definitely wait for the next episode, this is my dark horse this season.. |

| Even if you can't see without your glasses, when a giant monster thing is chasing people with murderous intentious, you run. don't stop and look for your glasses as you wait to be eaten. |
  |
| At very beginning comedy was very strange dunno why later it started to fit not bad series. Waiting for more eps :) |
| loved the OP! gonna keep watching this... |
 |
| i would like to point out two things: one whenever trying to summon spirits make sure you say the right incantation, #2- always listen to a tape all the way through before broadcasting it outloud |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| What a difference/. this series seems alright well from this episode, i kinda like her maya =) the head choped off, disgusting those worm or whatever anyway the last scene was good ahah wonder about the reaction XD |
 |
| Weird start for an anime. I wonder what the significance of it being 1999 is? The beginning makes one wonder where this show is going as it doesn't really fit with the rest of the episode until the very end. I wonder what the school staff's secret is? Looks promising so far though, I liked the characters. |
 |
| Far, the best of the season. Can Maya come to be a new anime idol? |
 |
| I was expecting more comedy but I shouldn't set my expectations up too high. Was still pretty good though. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Had my doubts about this and i guessed wrong. Now i believe this could go quite well. Very good first ep. And wow, i feel sorry for that guy, what an embarrasing entrance. Didn't expect to see the shadow of his thingo either xD |
| Interesting start, I liked it. But really though, no fansubs for this except the CR rips are a huge turn off =| |
| Fuck yes. |

Maximatum99 said: Xardie said: ...nextday said: Surprising good for the first episode. I'm a bit worried though since the Anime no Chikara project hasn't produced anything great and I doubt this will be any different. Sora no Woto was brilliant. Just because show doesn't reach its full potential it theoretically might have does not mean what it manages to do is automatically bad or average. Sora no Woto was excellent, well written slice of life with most fascinating setting I've seen in ages and beautiful art and music. Characters too were well written, defined and developed even if none was exactly "original". It did pull many small subtle spins and subversions on many SoL tropes though - it ain't Eva or Utena, it's small time tinkerin', but it's there nonetheles. and OVA was bloody hilarious I rated it 9/10 and I stand by the rating. Directing, production values, writing etc. were at "worst" average to solid and at best brilliant. As far as "hybrid series" go it's among the best of them - sunny slice of life performed in epic, brooding subtext of world dying. It perfectly captures the feeling of insert song Servante de feu which in turn crystallized what show was all about. I could've done without KanataXBucket episode but apart from that it manages to do what it always intended to do. Criticizing it for not being war epic or pure "cute girls doing cute things" is off the mark because show never aimed for either. Senkou no Night Raid on the other hand has been something of a mess so far; good ideas but rather unremarkable execution. It's been getting better though OrochiPL said: Like i said:OrochiPL said: Seriously, that's the biggest dissapointment of this season as for now. I felt like watching some cartoon, Anime = cartoon OrochiPL said: Orangevision said: OrochiPL said: I felt like watching some cartoon. There might be a reason for that. But you know, some western cartoon, not anime. I don't see what's particularly "western" about it. I guess I can understand the scooby doo feel but that's just a "feel" and not something concrete (and even then similarities are stretching. "Supernatural + comedy" isn't remarkable similarity between the two in my opinion. It's closer to Ghostbusters anyway IMO) |

Senkou no Night Raid on the other hand has been something of a mess so far; good ideas but rather unremarkable execution. It's been getting better though I'm not sure that I could disagree with anyone any more on something. Sora no Woto was good only because of its setting. In the vein of K-On, it uses the Slice of Life genre as an excuse to do absolutely nothing, then decide to have the world's most cliche story for 3 epsisodes, and not do it well. No characters were well developed (because that would imply that they were characterized or developed at all), and the show relied too much on over-used stereotypes to make up for the laziness with which the characters were presented. The largest example of how the show exists only to pander to lonely otaku fanboys who've never touched a woman is the episode centered around a...wait for it...pee joke. Top that off with the ridiculous boob grabbing toward the end, and the show petty much just ends up as a piece of garbage. Night Raid is indeed a mess, but it's definitely better than Sora no Woto because it strives to do something different and succeeds in many areas. If this show is made by the same producers, I might have to be more wary than I anticipated, because I won't lie when I say the production is part of the reason why I enjoyed this first episode. |

| Loved it, easily the best first episode of the summer shows I've been watching. Maya is a great character and I look forward to her trying to take down the academy. The occult elements were neat and the bit with the lamie looking for its glasses was hilarious. |
