That was kinda what I expected. OP song was okay and the beginning scenes were exactly what I had thought. They introduced 4 of the main girls so far but more are to come soon. I can't stand Claire's damn voice though.

Isn't she the same voice actor for Miku in Date A live 2?

Miku's VA is Chihara Minori while Claire's VA is Ibuki Kido who voiced Oka Chinami in Golden Time. Coincidentally, Kamito's VA is also the one who voiced Tada Banri in Golden Time.

Just checked it too, for some reason the opening rant reminded me of miku haha

Finished the episode now props to TNK, they did a great job adapting episode 1.

Pretty generic start.

Pure maiden=virgin lolis.

Wonder how this'll compare to the LNs which I dropped.

Might regret watching this,but if anything I'll continue watching this solely for it's fanservice.

Can't wait for Est<3.

Hello Fairy Tail with loli fanservice++

Oh wait, that's just a hook.

Rather plainly directed, but nothing too bad either in terms of execution. The MC is showing signs of being the perfect OP Gary Stu already, but I guess he's OK, just bland, but mostly indifferent. Sways around depending on what the plot needs as well.

The script has to play out the LN events, whether it likes it or not. It doesn't so they don't bother explaining the finer details like why did the MC go with her in the first place, why did he show himself? Why is the loli so sexually insecure? Why can't she just dive and not make some steam? These are very easy things to answer and animate, yet the LN has to play out.

And then we get to the girls! This is where the light novel writing wish-fulfillment otaku pandering comes to the forefront. The MC is fine, yet all the girls always bring up "pervert, pervert, you're a pervert!". Claire also treats him like a sex slave, so essentially she's a nymphomaniac loli tsundere, the same can be said for the rest. Queue ecchi comedy for the sake of it!

So our male lead is transferred into a school of nymphomaniacs and principal McTits. Blah bla bla... hook for the plot we'll be dragging out.

2/5 - Not as mind numbingly awful as Bakumatsu Rock, since it introduces believable concepts in a fantasy setting. The problem is the girls, ALL OF THEM!

Im looking forwards to watching this,
I hope this will be like infinite stratos but without the bad characters and bad story.
The animation is okay.... for a casual,
the OP was good, music was fine,
Claire seems like she is going to be annoying and I hope kamito will become more proficient at being a boss and pimp dem bitchez.
All up, pretty sure this gonna be your everyday average anime.... hoping im wrong and it doesnt end up like Seikoku no Dragonar.

Hmmm...really can't say much about this adaption for now.

The character designs look really pretty esp the art in the OP is awesome...but too much derp faces <_< and this is still the first ep. There was also quite a bit of QUALITY here and there and we haven't started the real action yet -.-

I'm actually liking Claire's voice more than what it would've been if she was done by KugiRie. That would've been annoying as hell.

Kamito is being his BA teasing self so that was good :3

Also, there was quite a lot less fan service than I expected XD Dat grope was :O though. She's supposed to have a pitiful chest but from what I saw that was a handful XD

Ellis, Rinslet and Restia at the end were <3

Can't wait for Est >.<

The OP is catchy.

It felt a bit generic, but whatever. I haven't read the LN, but I will give this a chance.

I'm not feeling any kind of jealousy towards Kamito, assuming what kind of a place he gets to live in for the time being.

Characters were good design wise and the music was alright. It appears the main isn't any kind of dimwit so that's good news... hopefully anyway. Overall an ok episode to start. Let's just see where things go for now.

Wow TNK Studio had take a break for it's Extreme Ecchi Anime (like High School DXD and Daimidaler) for now, which is I find it unusual.
Also this wasn't licensed by Funimation which is a surprise.

As for the Character designs/illustration/animation was made pretty good...
The OP was really good I think...And for the story it just fine (I didn't read the LN or Manga)...
So I hope this would be a good/enjoyable Anime like TNK Studio had done in the past.

Lol, that's one big ass armor there...

Ren Ashbell huh? Who's that supposed to be lol?

Right from the start a wild naked girl appears!

LOL, he's not after little kids, Kamito you so silly.

HAHAHAHA, she can't be sixteen with dem small boobies XD, Kamito's too funny...

Kamito got you there Claire, you told him they're white and not red, your panties XD.

Awww, he comforted while she was crying :3

Neko-san!

So the only other man to have managed to tame spirit was the demon lord Sulaiman hm.

Lol, Kamito ran away from Claire so easily XD.

Poor Kamito... being pushed down and seeing the panties of Ellis... the horror!

So he's had a contracted spirit before, named Restia huh.

That uniform is really neat!

WTF... he's going to sleep in that small shed next to the stable lol...

I've been wondering... but why does he wear only one glove lol?

So a kiss is needed to form a contract with a high level humanoid huh.

The girls are already fighting over Kamito's ownership rights...

So Ren Ashbell is bringing Kamito's old contracted spirit with her and he needs to defeat her in the Blade Dance tournament thing huh.

I guess the episode was decent and I can't compare it to the LNs since I haven't read any.

He got a mark on his hand from making the contract with the spirit, he's probably wearing the glove to cover that for some reason.

Oh look a flat chested red haired tsundere, a prideful tough girl, a busty ojou-sama rival, an even BUSTIER MAID, and a MILF headmaster.. hmm where have I seen that before??

So this is the harem ecchi show of the season (Rokujouma isn't that ecchi.. yet). Nothing new here but at least the male lead is an alpha dude who doesn't scream like a girl when seeing/touching boobs so that's a plus there. Story is quite predictable but the jokes, although very cliche, were executed nicely enough to make me smile a few times. The OP song and animation are surprisingly nice too.

To be fair after the train wreck that is Dragonar last season, this feels like a fresh air.. a harem ecchi done right I suppose? hopefully it stays that way. I'll watch this for a few more episodes.

Sorry but I like this design way more...her LN design looks totally buster sword like and looks just weird if hold and swung with one hand.

On the episode: pretty faithful to the LN which is a plus :D

Animation is ok, but I didn't expect more anyway so it's fine.

EDIT: For the OP I really like the viewpoint switch at that one point ;-)

I really like the novels for this series, so I hope TNK does a good job with this like they did with Highschool DxD.

Nice first episode. I like Kamito's voice. It was better than I thought it would be.

Judging from the opening, I assume they're going to cover the first 3 volumes of the novels. I'm looking forward to see how this turns out.

It felt rushed, especially when they just jumped to the scene when the girl was at the pond and the guy look at her naked. So, transitioning is awful. They did not make the guy say "looks like I broke the promise" when he captured the sword spirit. This show was worse then I expected
