| Not a bad episode all-in-all. Wow, the sypnosis killed my instincts on what the anime is like, but they were both correct unbelievably... Pretty interesting concept. I'll start off with an 8/10 and see how the series progress. It's almost your typical tsundere anime, but something about it is making it good or bad. |
     |
| That was pretty damn enjoyable. 9/10 for now and 5/5 for the episode. Smiled through the whole thing, had lots of fun too. Definitely a must watch. |
 |
| neko gloves =))) looks like Taiga and Araragi =))) |
QysteiN said: Also love the ending song. It was actually the opening, just at the end of the episode. |
 |
| Ep. 1 was ok (changed my opinion after really finished watching the ep. It was GREAT and FUNNY!), but still very interesting to watch. Yay for Miyu-Miyu~ OP rox! |

| I'm kinda shocked how many of you are considering to drop it right after the first episode oô Narrator mostly had to introduce the characters, so what? Harem? I don't see a harem here. There may be more girls than boys, but there's no sign on harem at all. it was the very first episode. if you can't live with the concept, fine. just drop it. but I bet most of you will still continue to watch it and tell us every week how much they hate this generic-ripoff-with-annoying-narrator-show-that-is-so-much-like-a-harem-and-only-good-thing-are-sexual-references-show. If you really wanna drop it, do it. But judging from an introduction/setup episode that the characters are cheap and ripped off is weak.

| Nothing special. It seems that we shall expect yet another mediocre romance (mixed with a bit of comedy, though I hardly smiled watching this ep) from J.C. Just a short note: I've had enough of their copy-pasted characters already. Shana, Taiga and now Ryouko... it's all the same shit. Not only their personalities but their appearance as well... J.C. Staff does not know how to develop a classic tsundere heroines. I know that many of you don't agree with me and think I don't really know what I'm talking about. It's fine though, since great part of people who watch anime will stomach any shit and still be happy. Well, I won't. 2/5 for this ep. I'm dropping this if the second episode will prove to be as crappy as this one. |
     |
| Some 4th wall here and there. Show has some potential. Will follow it for now. |
 |
| Yea this is just a tsundere anime basically. I didnt love it, but didnt hate it either. Even if it starts to get worse I probably wont drop it, the Summer season as a whole doesnt even stack up to this Spring, so limited shows. I just hope it doesnt try to be more than it is, keep it simple. |
| I enjoyed the first episode, it was really funny Good seiyuus such as two Itou, Kanae (Saten & Fumino !!) and Shizuka (Hinagiku), Miyu Irino (Saji Xroad), Arai Satomi (Kuroko), Nojima Hirofumi (Kitamura from toradora !), Kawasumi Ayako (Nodame & Saber !!), Horie Yui (Minori from toradora !) and interestingly they were JC Staff's favourites. I also like the concept, about world fairy tale. I wonder what story will come next Also, DAT LEGS WERE DELICIOUS. |
 |
| Wow, look at those legs @_@ ...The narrator got on my nerves, I hate her voice. I will follow this show though. |
| Loved every single thing about this anime! Looks like a keeper! |

|
| Liked the first episode too. I think Ryouko is more a mix of Taiga x Mikoto and some more badass. <3 her hair Kuroko as narrator xD Fairy Tales ftw Cinderella and the shoes at the end "Kick me more..more..more..", i didn't know the Prince of Tennis were such a M lol Cranium Kick! I think i'm going to like this show, can't wait to see deredere-side of Ryouko |
  |
| Interesting show but shut that damn narrator up before she causes any more damage to the mood. The only narrator that may interfere like this is Hayate's because Wakamoto Norio is a damn genius. |
 |
| I like both protagonists, Ringo is fine for now, so that's always a plus. I haven't seen direct interaction with the narrator since Hayate, though Satomi Arai is no Wakamoto Norio (then again no one will ever be in their lifetime and several reincarnations later) but I still liked the way she pulled it off, which thankfully was not as annoying as I expected. My only gripe is a lot of her lines were redundant and detracts from the jokes. If they can improve on that I'm sure this show will turn out to be a pretty fun ride. I already love the Cinderella twist they presented. Ryoushi's obviously got hidden sniping talents, can't wait to see more of that-su. Good call on the person who described him as a less cooler Jacuzzi Splot, didn't strike me till then-su. I also like his slurring-su. I blame Lavi from DGM for this-su. Good start, I guess. |
 |
| Best narrator evar! I love how the casting is like Toradora + Haruhi (Without Haruhi and Kyon) |
| Oh man, I hate characters that end everything with "su", except for for Wilhelmina's "de arimasu"... so I wanted to punch the main character so much. That said, I did enjoy the Cinderella twist, so I'll continue watching for now. |
| character's name translates to red apple. lolwut FALCON KICK!!!! |

| Meaning-less anime is just so much fun XD |
 |
| Kitty boxing gloves ftw! |
     |
| This was great. I like the comedy and the style. I'll be looking forward to this series this season. |

I'm dropping this if the second episode will prove to be as crappy as this one. It's funny how you blame J.C. Staff for something that the authors of the light novels wrote. Right, but you see... there's quite a lot of light novels' adaptations. Some, I'd say most, of them have at least one tsundere heroine. And those light novels are not only being adapted by J.C., you see. Various developers remake them into anime series - and here's the problem. Why J.C. Staff is doing the worst job out of all of them? Hm. It's either because they pick up those lns with the most annoying heroines or because they just don't understand how to properly develop such character. Example? Shana. In light novels series she's not annoying at all - oh, just your typical tsundere... but! In the anime she's annyoing as hell - and when you mix it up with a donkan protagonist (who is not SUCH a love idiot in lns series) you're about ready to rage on what you're watching. |

| Eh, well...it was okay. It's definitely not the funniest anime out there, but it has a few good jokes. Edit: Am I the only one who enjoyed the narrator more than the actual anime itself? |

| Similarities of the characters to others are already mentioned but I'll add another. Ringo looks and sounds like that loli teacher in Index. Other than that: rarri said: This man speaks the truth. Same for me.That was pretty damn enjoyable. 9/10 for now and 5/5 for the episode. Smiled through the whole thing, had lots of fun too. Definitely a must watch. |
 |
| I quite liked the first Episode. The funniest thing of all is the narrator, and the characters reactions to it (this is maybe slapstick, but I don't care). The other jokes were so-so, some were funny and some not. Let's see how this gets. 4/5 for the 1st Ep. |
| The narrator's voice reminds me of the "Sex God" from B Gata H Kei.. >.< Looking forward to the next ep.. |
StormViruzJul 1, 2010 10:46 AM
| I do have to say though, it has a fun concept. The whole western fairy tale background mixed with the anime cliches and hilarity is a really refreshing twist to your completely generic school setting. I'll like to see how this progresses along, I doubt it will be a top tier show but I feel it will at least be decent and worth the watch. |
| Ok™ |
| Projecting above average overall. Love the seiyuu, big Taiga, and of course LLLLEEEEEEEEGGGGGGSSSSSSS |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| I thought it was "OK". The narrator was kind of annoying and the main character dude what's-his-face is a bit of a pussy. I'll watch the next few episodes to see if I really like it or not, or drop it like Arakawa Under the Bridge. |
 |
| Ryouko does look like Taiga lol All in all, not bad for a first episode. Hopefully this series will be longer than 12 episodes, something like 24 would be good. |
 |
| was trying to see what this was but it was quiet a funny ep |
 |
| This reminds me of Toaru no Kaguka Railgun |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| [spoil0rz...] Araragi lost his ahoge and now he's embarassed to be seen by anyone else. He confesses to the DNA Digivolution of Taiga, Hinagiku, and Railgun. The Main Plot right now is that she's pissed at him for having the nerve to like her and stalk her and confess to her when he just sat back and watched when she got attacked with a knife, but the reality is he actually disarmed the guy. BASIC CLICHE misunderstanding and IT'S ON VIDEO so it's going to be a plot device later on in the series when the *eureka* moment happens and she inevitably actually starts liking him. This is going to be fun to watch but painful at the same time. At least the main female character is delicious, her loli sidekick is just as delicious, the narrator is Kuruko, and the male lead is me. EDIT: And this is not Toradora 2. The way it's set up, it's going to have more absurd jokes and LOLRANDUM than the setting of the Toradora world could capacitate, and this series will have way less LOLDRAMA. |

| Thank god Ookami isn't some high pitched loli tsundere voiced by KugiRie. All we have to do now is get rid of the genki high pitched loli and all will be well. |
 |
| - Neko gloves. AWESOME - Beautiful, tsundere, and can fight. I'm in love <3 - Ryoushi was pretty funny for someone pathetic :D - example: dropped his towel. F-U-N-N-Y - BADASS flying kick scene!! - Nice romantic ending. Expecting great things from this anime. |
| Ryouko is awesome, I always love tsundere characters. Not to mention she's wearing my two favorite colors, brown long hair and a fighter. Totally awesome sauce. <3 I normally hate those types of characters like Ryoushi but he actually was pretty darn funny. :3 The narrator was kinda annoying to have through the whole episode, but the funny character reactions made up for it. I like the fairy tale mix too, I wonder how many different ones they'll use. One last thing: I want a pair of those neko gloves~ > w < <3 |
 |
| This looks like fun. I could have done with less narrator...I don't mind the voice, I just thought she could have talked a little less, or at least not at the same time other characters are speaking. Based on the synopsis and this first episode, I will probably automatically like this show. |
| This didn't hit me at all. It was pretty much your generic comedy romance, only with a different coating. The only thing that was funny was the very last scene. I'll give this one last shot with the next episode. |
 |
| It was an ok start - I didn't love it but I didn't hate it, either. I like the idea of the series but the execution of the first episode was a bit weak. I definitely laughed at a few parts, especially the S&M part after the credits. If they can keep up that kind of humour, this show will certainly be worth watching. However, about half the episode just wasn't funny so if that kind of material keeps up, I will seriously consider adding it to my growing Dropped List. Maybe, though, it'll just take a couple of episodes for me to get used to the humour. I can already see this as a show that you can't take very seriously at all. As for the narrator, I'm still undecided about that. I'm enjoying the presence of the narrator in the episode - it adds to the humour by breaking the fourth wall and suits the series' tone well - but I have trouble keeping up with the subs when the characters and the narrator are speaking at the same time (and this happened frequently enough to be annoying). Also, I was never a fan of the voice itself but I keep imagining Kuroko speaking, which I find amusing. So yeah, undecided for now. So I gave the episode a 3/5. I don't usually rate series after the first episode but my gut feeling is putting it between a 6 and 7/10. |
