| I remember reading the first couple of chapters for this a while back when it was just starting to get translated. |
| I liked the animation and the action but the characters seem kind of bland. Especially those rabbits were interesting. It could be interesting so i want to see where they are going with this. At this point I can't tell if it's supposed to be funny or if it's trying to do something semi-serious . |
| It was a decent 7/10 start. I probably won't drop. |
| Good to finally see this manga adapted to an anime now I just hope they stay loyal to the manga ~ Takuan_Soho said: While one should not judge a series from one episode, I really cannot see how this show will prove to be worth anything. Typical harem setting. Average boring guy has most popular girl in the school defending him. Oh, of course she is a witch, and uses her magic to accomplish this, fighting off other female witches (one in this episode, five implied by the ending) to protect him. Of course we already know that these other witches, upon defeat, will fall in love with the MC despite him not really doing anything to deserve this. And it isn't like a harem comic will automatically turn me off (though most do); ToLoveRu is so well drawn, and has such interesting characters that one can appreciate it, however this show doesn't have these benefits. Of course the main MC female has huge breasts, but the animation is so inferior that far from being attractive, all one can think when seeing them is: "god, the animators really are trying to stoke the moe feeling". The only positive thing I can say about this animation is that yesterday I was tempted to buy the manga because I like magical themes (long boring story behind this), but upon seeing this first episode, this desire has been quenched. This show doesn't deserve any interest; thank you for saving me 30 bucks. First out of the gate for this cour, first to be dropped (though I always watch 3 episodes no matter how what I think, but I really can't see this series saving itself). except.. its not a harem so .. uh ya long ramble for nothing. |
| I really wasn't expect to like this but I was pleasantly surprised. The characters were superb, it was action packed with some funny moments and even some sad ones too. oh..... and those bunnys :) I wouldn't say this is perfect but it sure is off to a great start, can't wait for the next episode now. 8/10 |

| That was awesome :D both of main characters seem pretty interesting, and fight scenes were really good.Too many witches are being introduced in first episode tho, but well ill live with it. For now i really cant wait for next episode =) btw. Opening was amazing.That fhana ♥ |
 |
| He introduced himself as Takamiya Honoka at the beginning, and I was like "Huh, that's kind of a girly sounding name for a MC." Then she tied his tie into a pretty bow and started calling him "princess" and I lost it. XD |
| Well this show appears to have the most generic start. I hope the students at the school stop being so clinging, it's really annoying. |
| Pretty damn good. I wasn't expecting much from this show but color me surprised. |
 |
| This is most the most entertaining anime of all the new ones that aired today. |
| Pretty funny, MC isn't that bad and catchy ED. Gonna keep watching. |
| Keep moving forward |
| Off to a good start as far as I'm concerned, it had some funny parts too. |
| I'm not sure if i liked this, i mean, the animation was good, and i'm curious to know why she calls him "hime" and why is she protecting him, but i don't really like neither of the main characters, the guy was always letting the other girls and guy bully him without doing anything, and the witch girl acted like a emotionless robot...maybe i'll watch the second episode to decide if i'll keep watching it. |

When everyone in the entire school bullies you though..what can you do really? I don't really see that as a character fault for the MC. He doesn't strike me as a coward, not yet anyway. |
| All I can say is the ending was too God damn CUTE!!!! Cathy song too... The character design reminds me of Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou, the girls are too muscular.. and look at those boobs!! Such unreal size that you'd normally see on hentai anime.. Overall the concept isn't that original or groundbreaking but entertaining enough to watch.. it'd be the Yozakura Quartet of this season (probably). |
 |
| That was great I love the art. The two MCs are interesting to say at the least Will keep watching |
| That was entertaining. Not particularly liking the mains but not despising them either, and I had a fun time watching this so I guess I'll keep watching for now I must say that ED was really catchy. |
| Absolutely no mention of the Kuroko easter egg yet? For shame. |
| Fucking Obama kun lmao |
 |
| CGI sure must help studios |
| Dat ED They really went HAM on the flame animation didn't they? I like that. |
 |
| Thoughts: 2:18 yuri foreshadowing? :D 2:26 eh, im a guy and even I think her boobs are too big. Proportional > gigantic 2:53 students should really put locks on their lockers cuz people can just enter it and put thumb tacks in ur shoes or something 3:31 wtf… group of girls bullying a guy. That's first time I've seen that 5:57 freaky stuffed animal bunny with weird message… I'll have to try that one day 7:33 some intense bunny fighting 9:21 instead of talking inside a circle of fire, they should try and get out of it first, then talk lol 15:01 princess says 'look at my wiener' lol 18:07 omg, swords through boobs ------------------- Overall: 1. Awesome opening, especially the part where she sings "tatoe sekaijuu ga teki ni natte". That’s just me lol 2. I don't like the ending song but for some reason, it's very catchy. i hate myself for liking it 3. As a guy, I like girls who can lead 4. Music, graphics, voice acting are very good in this series. Story and character have yet to be seen. 5. The series seems ok for now. It's not like I'll watch the 1st episode 10 times. But I'll stick around cuz there's nothing else to watch atm. & I can understand about 50% of the spoken japanese surprisingly. 6/10 for episode 1. |
| Hmm, don't know where to start, but ok, entertaining. Ah, no, I don't see it as a harem, but who knows... |
| Was an okay first episode I guess, finding the main girl a bit boring and others as well, only real cool thing I liked was the name of the show. :P He, I'll stick around and see how it goes. |
| If only that CG wasn't so bad this series would be awesome. Didn't knew J.C Staff is making this tbh |
 |
| Personally I enjoyed this episode more than I thought I would, since I didn't expect much from it. Overall rather enjoyable. Love that ED, so catchy and the animation is cute lol |
| Wow, that was so bad. Lame plot. Lame characters. I don't even know what was that supposed to be. Is it supposed to be funny? That was so generic there's nothing new at all. I don't get how is everyone saying that "that wasn't a bad start" because that was boring as hell. Is it perhaps because I don't read the original material? I seriously don't know what to expect next. It wasn't funny so I suppose it's gonna be centered around battle scenes? But the battle was so fuckin lame... Also that main character was weird as hell. First time he saw that bunch of weird robots and a girl burning everything around her yet he ask why the hell did she save him? Holy shit. The girl didn't even mention one bit about herself and in the end scene she said that the new transfer students were "also" witches. Well, I guess I'll just check the next ep to see what is this about. |
Xeynaroth said: I just don't get why she's so popular o.O What you fail to realize as an observer is that she is really popular with the girls. I would even dare to say that Obama-kun is not really an admirer of Kagari, he does the girls grunt work to get closer to them. Also, it is not that Kagari does not have a personality, she is the strong silent type, which lets her enemies do all the talking and then kicks their butts. |

Xeynaroth said: Am I the only one who thinks its weird that Kagari is so popular, she doesnt look good at all ! Way too tall, I mean she's taller than the guys... and whats wrong with a tall girl being even taller than a guy huh? some people actually love tall women Anyway the first episode might seem a bit like a cliche gir is populer, guy gets beaten up for talking to her, saving the main characters life from some enemy because he is 'special' a romance starts to form etc... but hey it was still an enjoyable episode and u cant judge a series by the first ep alone so my actuall review on the series ill come a bit later |
| Even though generic/cliche(call it whatever you wish) I still found it enjoyable enough for a first episode. |

| Dem killer bunnehs. Pretty good episode, looks like this will be an interesting anime. |
 |
| "You are my princess after all." http://imgur.com/cYI2DzW Surprisingly good considering I was planning to drop this.This might actually be the season's hidden gem. |

| I know it's a cliche start, but I couldn't help but enjoy it. The MC was funny with his comments but annoyed me a little when she saved him from being stabbed and he said that he'll believe in her no matter what. Although, it makes sense he would act that way due to him being anti-social. I laughed way longer than I should have when she called him princess. |

Because that’s where you’ll find the things more important than what you want.” ~ Ging (HxH) |
| Well it was cute and enjoyable. Hasn't really caught my interest too much but will keep following the series anyway. |
| Is this Maburaho? Anyway, seems like I will enjoy it nonetheless. |
 |
| Ugh. Jealous bitches are annoying. The rest was good enough for me to continue this. |
 |
| Kagari is the man of the relationship lel. Guess i'll give this anime another episode |
| Calling the guy a princess and master by a fire witch. Hmmm was the guy a princess in his past life in a world of magic? guessing from the OP, the guy is some powerful Wizard. The part where he is dress in white. Though the fire witch hat looks a bit weird on her. And what happen to the hair question!? Saying that out of nowhere is already awkward, they didn't even provide an answer. Are we suppose to accept that she is made of fire that she can't get burn herself, and that she can't get hurt physically!? then why even bring it up in the first place! The battle scene is where I have to insert my logic in to make more sense. It was shown that the battle with the first two metal bunny knights, that her flame only knock them back ( make sense since metal are durable), but of course the knights might be made of magical property. Then all of a sudden, the army got scorched on the first shot. is it because the fire spell cast is a more powerful, the area of ignition, or the flame intensity? Also What form did the cat girl took? Think I am just gonna read the Manga. |
