| Not really a impressive begining, i guess i had my expectations too high on this, hopefully improves later. The animation is quite good though. |

| I loved this start. Better than I expected, and I really don't like militar animes. As for this shit of "bla bla bla got sick of yuri", man, rly? If the characters were a boy and a girl a lot of people wouldn't see it as friendship, only romance. But no, if it the characters are girls " HURRR IT'S TOO GAY", oh come on. |
| I would love to watch this in a German dub and I would also love if the two main girls became a couple! But of course neither is going to happen. Anyway, I think this show has a solid start. Here's hoping it doesn't disappoint at the end. |

I think the problem is more that it's only undertones. The creators are just baiting but never follow up on it. That's just tiring. Either bring a real gay/lesbian relationship or leave it out. |

Yeah, I totally agree with you in this aspect. However, I guess we're all would be lying if we said that we never saw people who don't love each other in a romantic way kissing or even going further. I would LOVE if they became a couple, I hope they will, but even if it doesn't happen, people are so hypocrital. As I said, if they were a boy and a girl nobody would be complaning. |
| This was a very good episode for me. The setting, music, and animation looks very good. Fine looks like she is going to be a strong female character. I grinned when Izetta started flying on that gun. |
 |
| Art, animation, soundtrack were all top notch and I love the WW2 setting. The story in itself has a kind of old school feel, it seems like the kind of thing they might have done 20, 30 years ago. Will most definitely keep on watching. |

| I love Japan's weird fixation with the German word sieg and how they keep using it in such dumb ways. Doesn't matter what context, Sieg Zeon, Sieg Kaisaru Reinhardo, Sieg Reich. Victory Realm? Really? Love it. Oh the show? It's alright I guess, apart from the fairly distasteful fan-service. |
| Good start, the princess seems interesting. |

DatRandomDude said: Well, that was a pretty solid start ! Just hope that its not going to go downhill later. >_> My thoughts exactly! I really like this princess! The animation and op/ed were solid too. SchwingBoner said: Hoping to see some actual yuri, and not just yuribait. Prepare to be disappointed.... |
 YOU HAD ONE JOBBBBBBBBBBBBBB |
| fine-hime fine-hime fine-hime FOR ****s SAKE! all the naming in this is killing me pretty interesting other than all the [unexplained] magic and so on. I could not stop laughing when Izetta got released to the end of the episode XD *Male Servants died, tomboy and strange breast girl alone in forest*... why do i prefer if it was yaoi-vibes ;-; |
  |
| The way they built the world in this first episode reminded me of an old teacher of mine. He used to be a leading poet in his obscure language until one day someone noticed that all he did was translate Scottish-dialect poetry but with the place names changed to local ones... Whilst I wasn't necessarily amazed by this first episode, I reckon this could be solid series; nothing amazing, but eh, pretty good |
| Kudelia Aina Bernstein, is that you? |
| I want to like it, but I'm afraid it has too much cringe for me. Why does a show riddled with WWII references, to the point of copying the map, shy away from using the actual nation's names and symbolism from 1939? Every time they do it I can't help but eye-roll. Especially the germ(ani)an's greeting "Sieg Reich", being such a dumb wordplay I would punch someone for it (siegreich = victorious), gives me shivers every time I hear it. Just let them say Heil and stick a goddamn cross on that plane ffs - everybody knows what's meant anyways. The show takes itself seriously, but I just can't do the same when I'm bombarded by cringy references every minute. I hope I'll get used to it so I can enjoy the actual plot (Which I like so far), though I don't think I will. |
| Princess Fine is already a contender for character of the season for me, she could be top-class. I'm really digging the atmosphere and tone of this show. |
  |
| something so beautiful you can only accept with open arms. i'm going to avoid the fact that both german and english people speak fluent japanese. also i want to add, why can't a friendship be incredibly deep? i see no queerbait yet, i might change my mind but for now i think they could pass as friends |

The same reason why some ww2 games replace the Swastika with the Iron Cross or censor Hitler. It could be because it might be seen by some as bad taste or there are laws in some countries that forbid the use of nazi symbolism. Another reason could be for the story. The show obviously takes place in a different world where Elystadt exists as a country with magic and what not, by replacing Nazi Germany with a fictional counterpart they remove the need to reference the nazis ridiculous ideological tenets which would have added nothing to the story. Nazi Germany and Germania are different countries which although share similarities are not the same. |

| That ending was pretty cool for a first epsiode. Witches be flying guns insetad of brooms xD. |
| That felt stiff. The characters felt incredibly forced somehow and that Hime hime was kind of thrown all over the place. |
| this show just reminding me that magical fantasy + realistic modern stuff is so boring to watch |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Pretty nice start o_o Season off to a good start so far |
    |
| I gotta say, the art and visuals were quite the pleasant things to watch. The animation was decent as well, and the OST was really good. This show has potential. Impressive start. I'm liking it so far. That gold gun, though. |

| Well then, this is all going to be interesting to watch especially since our lead seems like she is going to be the strong type that is sorely needed in anime nowadays. I liked just about everything that was given but the yuri undertones is already making me worried. Hopefully it won't be too distracting because this narrative seems like it's gonna pack a lot of potential. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Count me in on this one...that was pretty damn great as far as first episodes go. |
| Seems prety fine, i didn't remember about the plot from when i had added this to the plans though. But they prety much bought me with the witch versus nazi setting. This will be a fun ride. |
| That was a great first episode. The scene at the beginning with Izetta was fantastic, as well as the use of music throughout the episode. I have high hopes for this! |
   |
| Great start ! I loved the mix of real history with mystical witch and the animation was beautiful |
| Not bad as a beginning episode. The WWII setting was nice, the princess actually tried to be competent, the main antagonist was cool and the ending with Izetta wrecking the plane looked really beautiful (+ great soundtrack). This looks good, hope it doesn't ends being a disaster. |
 |
| Like the first episode, but also had a few alarm bells go off. For one, the only reason for the alternate history seems to be to avoid real life political issues. Secondly, there's the yuri undertones, and finally some things are off for no particular reason. For example: the German officer's pistol was engraved with "who dares wins", which is the motto of the British SAS, and while it is clearly set in the 1940's, it really feels more like 1910-1920's. tot said: i can only think of suou pavlichenko when i saw that rifle Nope, you were not, though I've tried my best to forget everything about Suou and the rest of that turd of a sequel. The fact that it has been retconned in canon says enough. |

| Nice first episode , it has a comb of war and witchcraft that I like very much, nice animation too ,I have great expectations with this one it could be one of the best this season , fingers crossed :) |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| izzeta first episode kinda okay, animation and ost is beautiful.. unexpected from no name studio. so for first episode 7/10 |
 |
| Is there a reason that I feel like I'm recognising the art style? I don't recognise any of the studio's other works and the anime is listed as an original, so it's not because of some manga author connection. Either way, I absolutely love the theme. I'm very fond of WW2 themes. The environments, the level of technology, the fashion and architecture. Aside from the horrors of war and the racial exterminations it is a very cosy time period. |

| Good opening episode, really looking forward to see how this turns out, Hope its doesn't get overshadowed by Yuri arguments after every episode as I'm sure that's not what it's about. |
| Interesting first episode. I kinda like the personality of Fine Witch riding broomstick is too mainstream, why not a rifle |
 |
| Great first episode. It introduced us to the setting quickly and efficiently, created some intrigue behind Germania's motivations and Izetta and Finé is shaping up to be a very likeable character if she doesn't become useless. |
| The statement below is true. The statement above is false. |
HuuskerDu said: The military is very detailed and looks realistic, a blend of WWII (Stukka dive bombers) and WWI (trenches, German Kaiser). At first I thought it was set in an AU 1929 where the two wars were merged (Gosick), but this story explicitly takes place in an AU 1939, but with royalty still in charge of Britannia and Germania. They never said that Britannia was ruled by royalty. The Princess specifically said that it might convince their people and parliament to want to protect her country if she marries their Prince. Trenches aren't a thing exclusive to WW1. Trenches were still used throughout WW2 by all sides. Seeing them in this anime is no surprise since it is early in the war and most Generals expected it to play out similar to how WW1 played out. They say that Generals always fight the previous war. |
| What kind of Junketsu no Maria is this??? |
| I can say that it's pretty interesting, the animation from the opening 'til the end is somewhat nice, let's see if they can keep that up together with the story until the end this is an original work by the way I really don't expect that much on Izetta x Fine romance, Amanchu killed my hopes and dreams. |
