| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not sure why this anime got such a high rating, but for me it is too Christian in combination with too French resulting in a completely painful watching time and putting it on hold indefinitely. Some might like it though, so I'm not rating it.. Addendum: and it is also too crowded and too bitchy lacking proper atmosphere for a nice yuri series. |

| The people who enjoy this series enjoy it for it's fantastic characterization, none of these characters can ever be considered anything other than well developed. It definetly isn't a series everyone would enjoy, but I liked it so much I'm watching the series again. |

| Well, this is confusing.... |

| Good first episode, lots of heavy words but i got the story. i will watch the rest, seems interesting enough. |
| Re-watching. After so many years, I'm still in love with this series. The mood, the characters, the OP...ahh...Sei-sama <3 |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Sachiko is hot. |
 |
| Those clothes make them look like sticks to be honest and also tall. Sachiko looks like a girl who'd be on the basketball team, she looks like she's around the 6 ft mark, maybe a bit taller. Anyway, nice start to the show. I'm not really into religious type shows but I was persuaded to give this show a try. I was expecting a dialogue filled episode but surprisingly it wasn't like that. It has french words like "sisters" in French which it wasn't that hard to understand. I sort of disliked Sachiko a bit here because she kept telling Yumi to be quiet. Like let the girl speak. Other than that minor complaint, the other characters in the council are quite likable. |

| It's been roughly a year since I watched Strawberry Panic so I thought it was high time to watch another one of these Catholic school shoujo-ai series. It took about halfway through the episode to finally warm up to it, I'm liking what it has to offer so far. The first few minutes I was wracking my brain around all of the French terminology but I'm getting a rough idea as to what's going on. My only complaint is with the quality. Beggars can't be choosers I suppose, I'll just treat it as if I'm watching one of those low budget early 90s anime. Edit: Just started episode 2 and the quality is much better. Ok great looking forward to this show then. |
 |
| Alright, not a big fan of the atmosphere or setting. Also the character interactions, not the most interesting yet. |
 |
| Welp, had to finally pick this up after I stumbled onto that gag from Lucky Star on YouTube where Konata gets hooked on "Marimite". The episode was somewhat confusing, especially the first few minutes, but this kind of seems like it's going to be a better version Strawberry Panic. Although, that isn't something too hard to achieve. |
| Their senpai/kohai naming is surely weird but the second part of the episode was good at least. The show has certainly some potential, it only depends on how everything turns out in the next episodes. But so far, it was very close to being average. Guess that's introductory episode for you even though the real introduction need to happen yet. |
| Highly dramatic and honestly a lot more proper then I was originally assuming it to be. I had watched Strawberry Panic eons ago which is almost this but......boring? We'll see where it goes from here. Honestly at this point though, theres too many names and lots of French not properly defined that I had to look up. |
 |
| I can't believe I got into this because of Lucky Star |
| I've been saving this series for years, savouring the small amount of shoujo-ai / yuri series there are QQ and I finally decided to watch this... Not giving up yet, but first impression is very bad so far... :/ Can already tell that Yumi will be getting on my nerves, cant stand those cutesy, good for nothing protagonists... Extremely confusing French + religious jibber jabber All the council members seem to me more like a witches' Sabbath than Maria's roses lol... Very confusing way of explaining the past events by constantly jumping back and forth between what seem like Yumi's memories and present. It's only been 1 episode so far so I'm not being too judgemental yet and I will give it a chance still, but so far I'm really not impressed.... |
   We're all golden Sunfl  werson the inside :> |
| Damn, this sharp artstyle makes it look like girls are evil and interrogating Yumi, or about to play with her in wrong ways or something.. I mean, sharper eyes make for more person like that feel.. And damn, so many mains?.. So focus will be at 8 girls?.. Damn, that's a lot.. Or it's just tagged like this, because maybe there will be main pair or something like Yumi/Sachiko.. But will see.. Wonder, if these girls indeed believe in all of this proper stuff being important in the face of god, or in their case rather - Maria.. Or if at least Sachiko is religious like that.. So Sachiko was after another girl at first?.. Sounds like mega oof.. I mean, if it's possible substitution problem Yumi is going to be involved or something.. But will see.. Well, it's both a trouble for Yumi to ask Sachiko for permission.. But also an opportunity.. For her to maybe start talking more with Sachiko.. So kinda good job from photography girl.. ;P So ok, there is like 3 presidents, and 3 vice-presidents for each one, I guess.. Something like that.. It seems Sachiko doesn't even remember morning encounter.. Mega oof x2.. I won't be counting all oofs, though, of course.. As it seems these girls actually do a lot of questionable things.. Damn, this talk really seems like some politics shit going on.. ;D Wonder, what these girls are after, with talks like that.. Like.. Is Youko enjoying cornering Sachiko or something, and that's why playing around her decision of accepting Yumi as smaller sister?.. Or why she does that?.. And why Sachiko does, what she does?.. It feels a bit, that maybe she's impulsively doing some things, not even sure, for what reason.. To safe face.. I don't know.. Overall, it all feels a bit like some strange politics.. I'm not sure I like this "council" too much, how they operate.. At least that Toudou girl has brain and actually asks about Yumi's feelings, lol.. Instead of all this political farce.. And that Sei girl making feelings of Yumi and connection between sisters as a part of the deal?.. Man, these girls are really something, when it comes to being considerate, lol.. I mean, not considerate at all, of course.. Like, wtf is this, to be honest?.. Well, at least, I guess, Sachiko and Yumi can have some potential.. Even if they're put in a dirty political game, really.. At least it seems, that both of them are interested in religious questions and thoughts.. Possibly.. I mean, with how it maybe was important for Sachiko, how appearance is important in front of Maria.. And how for Yumi it's interesting, why Maria's heart is being compared to blue sapphire of all things.. They can have shared interests, that is.. But for now they are in questionable circumstances more than anything.. But.. It's just a start.. Who knows, if they'll bond on the interests or not.. And I'm assuming they might have some interests in religion, could be just an assumption.. Well, so far - I like Yumi.. Sachiko is strange one, of what is going inside her head.. Shimako, it seems, maybe has the most sense of the girls.. But who knows.. And other girls seem strange as Sachiko as well, I guess, for now - with how they handled all this situation.. It was all very strange.. Well, will continue to watch, wonder, which girls I'll start liking, and which not.. Hopefully, girls will be likable, even if many of them started on wtf note in the first episode, lol.. Only a slight feeling of wtf for now, maybe things will make more sense later, or could just be a bad day, or something.. ;P |
| I'm in love with the atmosphere. I don't know how to put it, but it is incredibly charming. As for the story, I was very confused at first, but it became much more understandable afterwards, just like how I was afraid the slow pacing would be hard to handle but actually really seems to serve the plot. The characters seem to be pretty interesting and well written for now, especially Yumi and Sachiko. Overall this is a very good start ! It has some real potential to become a new favorite of mine. And one last thing : it took me a while to understand that what I heard as "sulu" is actually supposed to be "soeur". It made me laugh when I finally got it, I know I shouldn't judge but hearing very serious characters pronouncing just as seriously what sounds like total gibberish was completely unexpected. Edit : Wait, people are saying this show doesn't properly translate french words ? Well I'm glad to be from the baguette world then, I can't imagine how confusing it would've been otherwise, that's quite a way to ruin an experience... |

ItsXolo said: yikes this show is gonna be hard to follow. it's hard enough to remember japanese names in anime, but now I also have to match them up with french nicknames or whatever, on top of every character looking the same, and 20 of them being introduced in the first episode. Yeah, pretty much summarizes my thoughts for the first episode. |

| This seems interesting. It partly reminds me of the older shoujo drama anime of the 1970s, which was no longer common at the time that this came out. |
