THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
For a fantasy show, I find the character designs really adorable with some of the non-human traits, especially Seiran.

Got the main cast introduced so far and it's also really colorful in terms of the setting. A lot of smiles, playful energy, etc. The character interactions are charming enough so far and I think there's potential for storybuilding. I want more~

the character designs remind me of poppin q, but maybe thats just me.

the devil was somehow able to go back in time to try and stop Yuuria from becoming a hero.
ironically, she finds her weapon during the trial and becomes a hero.
the end credit at the beginning threw me off lol >.>

Well it looks like this is going to be something like the Maou is trying to prevent the hero from becoming a hero.
It was a funny episode tho.
Seems the party of girls have it rather easy for now.

The original character designer for this show is from the mangaka Namori of Yuru Yuri. She also was the og character designer for Release the Spyce.

I'm glad to hear again the voice of Kaos-chan in an anime, and now on top of that she's planning to beat the Demon King?. I'm sure I'll laugh a lot with her adorable misadventures.

Great. As expected by Studio Gokumi. Animation is way better than I expected though. Hand drawn explosions are beautiful.
It generally looks awesome.

Has to be surprise of the season for me, i expected nothing from this and got good characters, very nice and detailed character animation, in general that first fight was brilliantly animated.

Demon Lord is hilarious, comedy overall good and a nice setting.

Very nice, definitely in my top 3 right now.

I thought this series was going to be about the aftermath of the hero party, their daily lives after defeating the demon lord, and I would prefer that much over this setting we got.

So far nothing really stands out. The main characters all fall into the typical tropes of this type of anime. Maybe I just came in with too high of an expectation since it's by Studio Gokumi.

What an amazing way to start the episode, the heroines fight with the demon king and defeat him with their forbidden magic, the final credits after 5 minutes of the episode left me stunned, but then we realized that we went back to the beginning where everything started.
The character design I loved them, I felt the soul of Yuru Yuri in this episode, I also loved that the seiyuu of Julia is the same as the voice of Kaos sensei. The same thing happened with Mei, Inori Minase returns to make the voice of a sorceress (she did the voice of Meteora in Re:creators and had the same vibe as Mei).
without doubt i like all the members of the group of heroines, Julia is the classic positive and cheerful heroine, Seira is the companion who cares about the welfare of their friends and if everything goes well, Fai is the tomboy of the group that goes to the attacks with everything and loves to eat and Mei is the sorceress who is obsessed with her magic and research.
Mao was the most adorable demon queen I have ever seen, the fun thing was to know that Mao is the demon king that the girls defeated at the beginning of the episode and that now her mission is to prevent Yuria from becoming a hero, and I love when she tries to make her evil laugh and she choke, it looks so cute.
The adventure of the labyrinth made me laugh a lot, the more they went through the labyrinth, the things get more crazy until they ended up in a cell, the poor Seira who was worried about reproving did not stop crying, but in the end they manage to escape and Julia finds the sword of the hero. In the end Mao's plan fails, but it does not mean that she will not give up on avoiding that Julia and her friends become the heroines.
The soundtrack is very good, I remember many games of this style, especially final fantasy, I do not know if what we saw at the end was the opening or the ending, but it's quite good, it continues with the same aesthetic of the girls going to their adventures to become the heroines, which is pretty adorable.

I hope the quality of this anime continues like this, I feel that this anime achieve something that I think is great, the idea that they left was acceptable and I want to see how they developed this funny and different anime of adventure with cute girls doing cute things.

I had low expectations for this and it turned out to be reasonably good. A lot of creative ideas, it's cute overall, the colors are nice and the seiyuu cast makes it even better. The ED (perhaps OP from next week?) was decent and wholesome.

So "Endro~" actually means "End Roll". Nice!

I really enjoyed this first episode! I was smiling throughout the entire episode firstly because a lot of my favorite seiyuus are in here, more specifically Inori Minase and Misaki Kuno who voiced Rem and Venera-sama respectively who are two of my top favorite characters! Next, the concept is very acceptable and well executed in this first episode. Wonderful animation too! I think the first few minutes of this episode will be the result of the finale but I'm also expecting it to become slightly different where the girls find out what their cute adorable sensei's true identity is! And I can also imagine little Mao-sensei doing everything she can to prevent Yusha from becoming a hero only with sensei's plans ending up backfiring at her. Yeah, maybe this will happen, but I'm all for it (or whatever else will happen in this anime) because this anime is just that damn enjoyable! And I like Meiza Endust's character a lot! <33

Haha, I am definitely going to look forward to each episode weekly! And the wait for each episode will be painful. ;w; I love this anime already! <3

Have any CGDCT had fantasy settings, making friends with dragons and such?

I would reasonably think that when an anime comes out claiming to be exactly what I literally asked for years ago, with this title, the actual show would be at least a bit disappointing. Cue the weekly "Will it turn bad this time" tension, I suppose.

Between this and long-awaited catalog stuff like Yamato 2199 and LOGH, I suppose 2019 as a whole will likely be the pinnacle of my anime experience. Next decade is just denouement. :P

They already have a chibi dragon friend AND they made friends with a random monster in the first episode

There are also girl MC isekai and fantasy VRMMO anime in the works. I'm glad this one made it out the gate first.

...I wrote all of the above before opening the thread. @Ahegyao knows what's up. As usual.

I would have liked that too, something like a human-scale Hakumei & Mikochi (which coincidentally started a year ago today), though I knew to expect questing based on a quick look at the manga (created to release alongside the anime, available untranslated here... the manga is more lewd than this episode). Having now seen what the questing looks like, I'm not sure which I'd choose. I think I like it this way, especially if there's a lot of SoL downtime between quests.

Really cute and colorful characters. First thing I thought was the girls look like Yuri Yuri characters and it seems that is the case because they the art for the characters is done by the same managaka.

Looks like Mao will basically end up be the one who causes her own demise

I was curious to see what Studio Gokumi would come up with since I really enjoyed Katana Maidens. Needless to say, I'm far from disappointed XD! Yasha is pretty much a more moe version of Nadeshiko from Yuru Camp.

That's very true! Yusha reminds me a lot of Nadeshiko from Yuru Camp, both in her kindness, face, hair color and sweet personality! >////< 💕💕👌







hehehehe the voice of Inori Minase is strongly felt! xD

hahahahaha the funny thing about this is the fact that it was the same King Demon who put Yusha to his own destiny and ended up destroying King Demon!... I mean the only one to blame for his fall was herself! xD

No doubt Mao-chan never read Oedipus King, never play with the your future, it could be the reason for your perdition, so intervene in past events so that something in the future does not happen, always causes worse problems! xD

Last season Studio Gokumi gave us an anime about an adorable 360 year old vampire NEET and now we get an anime that contains a loli demon lord senpai.

We'll see how this turns out next week I guess. Guess I have to start watching Yuro Camp someday aswell, since people mention it a lot aswell with this anime.

This is so very good. Actually better than I could expect for a first episode in these kinds of cgdct shows, which from my experience tend to have a slow start and gradually get better once the characters are properly established. It's charming from minute one, really cute aesthetics with character designs that fit so well (and the expressions are quite on point) and genuinely funny, with character traits and interactions that show a lot of potential already. What a lovely ride this one will be.

I haven't voiced my thoughts but this is just very adorable as hell. The setting being one of my personal preferences and not only that the aesthetic (while not being standout) is pretty consistent and just pretty to look at. And this might be a good fantasy/sol series too.

Oh and Inori's character is my favorite so far (the blue-haired one/Meiza).

Surprisingly good. It has the cuteness bait factor, but the fight scene was decent too. Seira somehow reminds me of Kagami from Lucky Star. :D

Mao let them finish the chant to seal him before deciding to choose shoot them with his staff... Yuuuushaaaaa!!!! xD
