----------------------------------------
Well, this is a bit of a strange show. Basically, 5 guys works for a strange boss and they got a hell of a responsibility.

At least the show seems colorful enough with the somewhat diverse range of cast. Otherwise, Ive got mixed thoughts on this show. Maybe they can take some time to develop each of these guys? Lol. That armor transformation though.

This is basically Ouran High School Host Club, with the same Bishounen feel but somehow worse than I ever thought. Think of Meiji Tokyo Renka meets Ouran, a reverse harem but I'm pretty sure this is to bait the fujoshis.

With directors helming Bishounen shows (e.g. King of Prism), this'll only cater to the niche of fujoshis, of which the genre hasn't seen the finest in audience levels.

It looks meh, but Studio Comet doing such shows every once in a blue moon (see Spring 2019's RobiHachi, which is better but not great) is honestly a tire at this point.

"We'll Save Your Heart"? More like saving the world by not crunching shows like these anytime soon with "magic".

I'm sure that some fujoshis will be going through 10 pairs of pants every week while watching this.

Sexualization of men? In very ridiculous tiny outfits that usually only fictional women wear? I'm so here for this. First episode was fun, animation is nice, the boys are beautiful and the pictures in the ending theme were absolutely delicious. I'm looking forward for more.

The nipple in this anime has the most detail I've ever seen in non-R18 anime.

Talking about laws of fairy: No.1 and No.5 are double lock on "don't mess with opposite sex".
Yet in the first episode, two out of five boys already kiss woman.
Don't make a promise you can't keep!!!!

It feels like this anime is trying too hard to make our boys appeared straight, but using woman is a little bit of cheating. Men can show their straightness even when living among men.

Someone already mention that this is similar to Boueibu, which I fully agree.

And 5 boys plus one villain are the debut role of new voice actors, congrats!

what you would get if you combined Madoka's with the corniness of a pretty boys in cafes show?
I guess this, there really are things that are better not to know. Every time it is more common to see shows about boys being cheesy and effeminate in a "mahou shonen" anime, but they always turn out to be so boring and slow they waste everything ridiculous that could be taken seriously, certainly

I LOVED this. It is so campy cheesy, and over the top. It clearly doesn't take itself seriously, so I am not going to either.

What a fun spin on the magical girl genre. There were a lot of nods here to Sailor Moon and Madoca. (From the creepy inner psyche battle areas, to the "villain" being poof sparkled away.

I am also getting some Yuri Kuma/Utena vibes from the sheer nonsense/randomness of it all.

LOVED the funny song and singing during the battle! Very reverse harm. The ending sequence art is AMAZING.

I enjoyed this a lot, because it was just so funny. To me, this feels like a spoof anime and I hope it keeps up this good energy during its run and not become too one note. I love clear shojo inspiration here.

yep this 100%..the opening is super catchy as well and in general, the music reminds me of old-school anime. These "inner psyche" battle remind me as well of Pet, almost similar Artstyle. All in all great first episode

Please don't associate fujoshis with ... That lol (I'm one so I feel offended). I found the synopsis interesting, it reminded me a lot of Makura no danshi because I thought it was going to be a first-person anime and that it wouldn't turn into a fairy lol a typical bishounen with nothing very special if you forget the fact that they saw fairies lol

The absolute state of female gaze and fujo bait in this insanity. This is dumb as hell and I will definitely be here again next week, thank you.

Was the fight scene a madoka reference?

I'm curious about the villain tease. Hope his alter ego is just as over the top as the rest of these hoes.

This gave off a similar energy as a Cult Propaganda video. The faithful cult followers proudly exposit the rules of their group, which amounts to textbook detachment from the outside world and the forbidding of making relationships outside of the cult. They then show how one of their members bravely takes on the "attachment" of the outside world in some kind of diet madoka magicka fight.

A very strange first episode to say the least.

From the point of the 2-minute man transformation onwards I was laughing my ass off - this is without any doubt one of the worst things I have ever seen. The "doxxed lolol" caption and thigh-high leggings/short-shorts outfit with the butt cape and stabbing the troll chick (who's literally pulling the mutli-keyboard mashing ski-masked hacker video routine but with phones to post an endless stream of toxic macros on some random girl's profile so she kills herself cause she stole her boyfriend) in the heart, straight through her internet connection - through the internet, she was stabbed, by a fairy godfather that made it look fire af. Not to mention this weird monty python ripoff virtual space and the 4chan head node, like... what? Who the fuck created this? This reminds me of Tommy Wiseau's "The Room", I cannot fathom the purpose of anything I saw - I would believe it if you told me it was randomly generated by a neural net... why did that giant key get so much air time lol?

Reminds me of when I'm in some discord server and I can't decipher even one of the emojis people are using. Had a great time, and I won't be back - one episode of this is more than enough lol.

I will walk you through my thinking process whilst watching the first episode:

-oh yea hot guys, yay I can postpone to buy a new otome game.

-is this like Winx Club but with male protagonists?

-why are they naked front of their Queen...

-they must have a decent production budget, even composed a lame-ass song for their school.

-I didn't get the battle scene tbh. I have a bunch of questions about their transformation.

Regardless of the usual anime disparities, I love it! So much material for the fujoshi in me :)

Who is the target audience for this? That bucket of fucks to give has a hole in the bottom, I see.

This was honestly the strangest thing I've seen in a long time and that's saying a lot. I don't even mean that in a good way. It was this weird mashup of... any and everything and I don't think any of it worked. Or did it?

But I do love the fact that everyone involved in this seems to have lost all sanity and don't care to find it again, so I might stick around. Plus, I need to see Juka in a crop top and booty shorts, so there's that too.

This nutty bitch really used 6 phones, 3 laptops and a tablet just to bully someone? I'm glad her ass got Utena'd. Or did she?

I expected badly animated magical boys saving the world.

I got very well animated magical boys, with great transformation scene and more fanservice than I expected. To top it off, the guys are hot.

I'm all for sexualising male characters for once, feels so refreshing!

Will definitely keep watching it.

The score has already increased a bit from when I checked 5 hours ago (5.05), but jeez people are being unnecessarily harsh on this show lmao. Fragile masculinity much? Not saying this anime is going to be a masterpiece by any means, but if the anime is obviously not aimed at you it's kind of unfair to give it an extremely low score just because you don't like men in thongs. There's a 'dropped' option for a reason, use it.

Anyway, seems like it's gonna be one of those feel good silly shows. I'm not expecting a lot of emotional depth or character development, but I'll stick around for now. I'm curious whether it will become yaoi bait or whether heterosexual love will be prevalent.

This is exactly the kind of campy trashy nonsense I was hoping it would be! I laughed so much watching this first episode.

I think that this show isn't trying to be anything other than what it is, and I love it for that.

Feels self-aware and fun. Definitely not for everyone, but as a gay man whose favourite anime is Madoka Magica...this is basically everything I could have wanted out of a weird, homoerotic pseudo-parody.

Basically, I'm hoping that the show stays fun, fast-paced, and stupid! If it tries to take itself too seriously later on, it'll be a huge drag.

Hoping other people will be able to enjoy this show as much as I do!

That was some pretty trippy ass-naked man-fairy, magical campness.

I only watched it because the synopsys sounded like it would be "Interesting". OMG - I'm not quite sure what I just experienced.

I'll have to keep watching this - "But not get caught".
