Oh crap....Incest. Hopefully they aren't blood siblings. Maybe step-brother/sister, or foster brother/sister, or maybe they're cousins.

Incest route is a dangerous path, I hope they are progressing in it carefully... I salute you strong warriors who will go all the way in this one, I may give up during our journey.

I wonder, how would you call it that? They apparently were siblings in their past life.
Not in this one.

I didn't care much for the beginning, but the rest seemed somewhat watchable.

Glad I'm not the only one feeling that way in MAL.

I lmao the whole time while watching it on Niconico with a punch of people typing the hell out the video, many say it's the second coming of Mahou Sensou, and it instantly becomes my favorite in this season, so far. Damn it just to think about it I giggle a little bit, I think they have to try really hard to be this hilariously bad. Definitely the best out of the four LN adaptations, at least that made me laugh. I'll stay on the other side of the globe for this one.

The story was everywhere and the incest innuendos just adds more salt into the wound.
Seriously, the characters were completely two-dimensional and I don't see this anime going anywhere..

This TV series is another series that joins together to Absolute Duo and Shinmai Maou no Testament, to the more ugly views in this winter season 2015.
Already the beginning of the episode I did not like, to say nothing of the narrative that has proven very dull.
Not even the drawings are of good quality, is really another insignificant anime.

That start was a little underwhelming in its standards. Even so, the characters didn't actually hit the danger zone.

The action is a little odd and the fanservice is low. As for the animation quality, it was very close to bad.

I thought the first episode was pretty enjoyable.
Honestly, I'm not particularly fond of the harem genre and I really don't like incest. But in this series, the MC had relationships with the girls in his previous lives so the love triangle isn't annoying to me. Actually it's pretty reasonable. And even though Satsuki was Moroha's sister in his past life, she's not his sister in this life. So it's not really incest. Because of this, I can't complain too much.
It would have been ideal if there was no fanservice but that's almost impossible so... no use complaining about it.
This show may not be great but it's enjoyable. I laughed a lot and I really want to know more about the character's past lives. Especially Shizuno's.
I'm looking forward to the next episode.

This season is honestly turning out to be rather disappointing. This is another one of those series with a semi-promising premise but fell into...Shizuno's boobs, I guess. The biggest problem with this series is that it basically gave off the ending right at the outset. The whole class is going to grow stronger, become cooperative, and then Moroha is going to defeat the big bad dragon. If the ending itself isn't already incredibly predictable and generic, giving it away makes the series even less watchable. This is also slightly different from what Absolute Duo did. With Absolute Duo, we find out in ep. 1 that Tooru will fight Julie, but we 1) don't know why and 2) don't know when it will happen, though it's likely that it will come close to the end. With World Break, we know why they're fighting that dragon, and we know it won't be a mid-season thing because it's very clear that a lot of character development needs to come in before that fight.

On top of that, why is the animation so cheap? Why does Satsuki talk at 5 times the volume of everyone else? And how did Moroha teleport away when he pulled out his sword? If this series intends to be service-driven, it is also surely not doing that well (DxD and IS are at least shameless in going down that route). In short, it's kind of a head-scratcher as to why this first episode was so bad that I think this is all most people will go with this series. If second episode follows a similar trend I have no doubt that this will be my first dropped series of the season, if anyone else is still watching by that point.

lol.. I agree this is better than Absolute Duo and Fafnir. How is this the 2nd coming of Mahou Sensou though? I'm pretty sure that was Trinity Seven from last season.

At least that Urushibara girl was amusing and Satsuki.. well... if you can stand Kirino then she's not that different, I mean it's typical Ayana and her tsundere acting but she actually sounds funny here.

From what I hear is that Mahou Sensou and this show have lots of similarity in style: they feel like they are written by a teenager who only write whatever he thinks is cool, have a OP MC purely for self insertion, lots of girls fall for the MC for no reasons, over the top action scene, ridiculous story, villain that is one-dimension and existed only for MC to look cool etc. Basically people in my place just watch this to see how the show embarrasses itself, Mahou Sensou is just the most outstanding example of why these anime sucks since it also bombed in sales.

That was so bad and i dont even know where to start -
shitty characters, generic story, rushed, Fanservice every second......
4/10 hoping it will get better, though i dont see it coming.

Funny/weird moments:

Lady parts fight :P

That guy stuck an axe on her back and nothing but the back of her shirt
went off, not even a scratch.

Satsuki runing naked to see the fight then she suddenly get her
clothes back on!?!

and i can go all day but im to lazy, so i will just highlight this moments but
it was pretty much the whole episode.

Save for their bad decision on revealing "the future" in the first half of the episode I actually like this anime...

Though I was kinda surprised he'd just awaken then use the mage powers at the same time...thought for sure he's "awaken" to them one of the time (assuming they're two separate past lives) rather at the same time...

Not as bad as Mahou Sensou as some has said above, and much better than Fafnir (Mahou Sensou < Fafnir < this. But, definitely not good, so-so so far.

The harem has potential; a sentence I'm not accustomed to writing. In past life #1, MC was siblings with the redhead and in a taboo relationship if those memory flashbacks are anything to go by. In past life #2, we don't know what's up yet but I'd bet it was not exactly platonic between his blackmage self and the busty netherworld witch. The loli is... a loli--they aren't going to go there except for laughs, I hope. I'd say there is room for one or two more in the harem (girls attracted to his "I am the Super MC, first of my kind" power) but it's possible that's the loli's role. I'm thinking an actual harem ending with the Witch, MC, and Redhead since they are all literally linked by fate from their past lives. That's at least uncommon, so it gives the harem a bit of potential.

The story is kind of simple; once you hear that there are basically Fighter-types and Mage-types, it seems like the easiest route to go is that the MC is actually a Fighter/Mage. The flash-forward sequence was overlong and I guess designed to give you a taste of what you are in for, but I'd really, really like it if it turned that they weren't showing us the end. It'd be pretty unexpected if that was actually the end of episode 6 or 7, and then they moved on to some other part of the story. I'm not getting my hopes up for that, though, since this whole thing feels like taking the easier route.

Sidenote: man, that was a long incantation in the beginning. I can imagine cutting away to an image of the sunrise, people crossing a crosswalk, shots of daily life, a sun setting--all the while his incantation novel rambling along at the top of the screen. Then cut back to his whole "thanks for buying me time" and dragon-nuke.

While I like the theme of past lives, I felt the execution was lacking too much. Pretty much it's your typical school setting with shounen battles and I wouldn't be surprised if the direction will be too open like in other similar LNs.

And Satsuki is really annoying.

For some odd reason, it reminds me of the way Monogatari does their animations, especially the part where the chairs flew up into the air.

Interesting concept, our main character get a pretty bland looking weapon though.

My reaction to this was mixed. On one hand, the animation looked terrible and the the main character Moroha was bland as hell. Also Satsuki was a little much at times.

However, that scene in the diner was pretty freakin hilarious. I also couldn't help laughing at some of the subtitles. It wasn't very good, but I think I'll keep watching to see how it turns out.

After watching both subbed and dubbed, I found the dubbed to be more superior. The girl's voices don't sound annoying like they do in the jap dub. Should give the english dub a chance, the voices match pretty well.

That was pretty bad; but I laughed more at this episode than I have at some scripted comedies so that should count for something I guess. Between the stupidity, fanservice, and ridiculous magical air writing there should be some entertainment value that can be wrung out of this generic premise. At least, I hope that's the case.

The character artsyle look like something from the 90s. It's old man, not something you'd expect to see these days. And that animation..

and a clingy, flat-chested younger sister trope who never shuts the fuck up with her annoying voice? really?

that one dude does not look like a first year.. he looks like the father of a first year. ..

wow.. they purposely made Moroha(ugly af name btw) look like the most pathetic scrub at first only to make him OP in the end. Yeah I know this formula. It may have worked the first or the second time I've seen it but not anymore

I wonder if the director of this was high at that time and thought this was the second season of the show because I have no idea what the fuck is going on. The hell is plana? The hell is a savior? The hell is this past memory bullshit? And I don't see them explaining anything any time soon. I bet this'd be one of those "figure-it-out-yourself-because-we-don't-have-enough-time-to-explain-because-this is-one-cour-and-we-only-did-this-shit-to-promote-the-source-material-so-fuck-you" shows.
