| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Meh, that was kinda weird. I mean, the character designs are cute but the story feels goofy with the ideas. Surprisingly, there's actual a fair amount of action, especially in the second half. Main girl Nyaa-tan has a lot of energy in her as well and OST is somewhat decent but I'm not sold on this yet. |

| This doesn't have the best pacing in the world, but is ok nonetheless. Takeru is meh, a pretty below average mc bur not terrible, Nya-tan is annoying though, Uri-tan is adorable and Dora-tan is very cool during battle. Now the battles are kind of interesting, while I'm not a big fan of the chibi style during battle everything else was from decent to great especially the environments that can lead to some battles that are outside of the box and the CG isn't too bad either. We will also get some variety in the environments during battle which is nice. It feels like a game overall. |
 |
| terrible male MC and annoying girls. |
| The humor at least didn't feel dry unlike a certain other show from this season. Kerozinn said: terrible male MC and annoying girls. Didn't feel that bad to me, honestly. |
 |
| Liked it. Kawai charcters and the animations was decent. Hopefully story makes more sense in the next few episodes |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| She looks like baby Haruhi with cat ears and tail. Ya ... I understand how rats could be seen as evil, but realistically speaking, we don't need a cat part of the zodiacs, there is already a tiger. The tiger should have been the enemy here. Its supposed to be an ox, why is it a cow?! I only see 9 girls there, excluding the evil rat, dragon and pig are missing. |
 |
| Let's see if this anime gets better because the CGI sucks. That's not a game, it's an anime. So please stop with CGI. |
 |
| I like the male MC. The girls are cute but kinda annoying. Not sure if I like this but will keep watching. |

Most games can't even scale up to the quality. I won't say I enjoy CG either, however clearly it's just not put there without purpose, at least the battle scenes have a certain flare to them. |

| I already don't like the idea of Takeru being able to produce "first-rate SOL/Lull" because it reminds me of Shinichirou from Isuca, aka the worst show of last season. Hopefully, this won't become anything close to it. Otherwise, not too bad really. Moe lolis, fair share of comedy and chibi CGI battles. Some may complain about it, but it's way better than what Show by Rock did. Decent start. The OP and ED are nice too. Also, the midway cards. :3  |
 |
| I guess I was expecting better, but it wasn't that bad either. |
 |
| just too wild & crazy |
billybob300c said: just too wild & crazy Sorry... |
|
| Hmm.. Is the CGI Chibi thing becoming a trend in anime? Can't say I'm too fond of it. I guess this was sort of fun to watch.. The concept is fun, but I cringed throughout most of the anime. |
 |
| This wasn't what i was expecting. This anime is trying to hard to be cute and honestly it doesn't do the anime good. So far there hasn't been anything that got my interest in this anime, but i will give it a chance i guess. |
| pretty decent. the beginning of nya-tan's transformation kinda looked like mario kart rainbow road, haha. |
 |
| This show is so moe... enough for me to watch Don't know what to think of the all-girls-but-one-guy cast... I think I like the rat already |
| What in the world did I just watch? |
| Actually liked it ^^; Takeru is pretty fun as a MC XD the way he treated Nyaa-tan at the start was lol Esp the skull crushing XD Nyaa tan was pretty cute. The type of genki I like. And dat Des des girl is lol. The Chibi fight was actually really nice. Quite the animation there :O |
 |
| Had to look up the character designer: Takahashi, Mami Etotama is their first work. I'm just going to assume Akio Watanabe got a name change at city hall, lol. Aside from that, I kind of enjoyed it. Usually these types of shows make me cringe and roll my eyes incessantly, this show didn't do that once. Though I can't say I was laughing my ass off, even as a fan of absurd humor. And the CG part was 9001 times better than Show By Rock. |
 |
| Well this was fun. I had a blast watching the first episode. It's funny and so full of energy. :3 But I didn't expect their transformations will turn them into chibis in CGI. Hmmmm, I can live with that. Although I wish it stayed in 2D. Still wanna know more about the girls from the Chinese zodiac. For now, gonna continue watching. :) |
| First Impression: This is so stupid, so stupid, so stupid! Second Impression This is so cute, so cute, so cute! Combat Impression: What is this? Smash brothers? |

LunyRed said: That's like the entire gimmick. Heck it's the only reason I picked this up. But I didn't expect their transformations will turn them into chibis in CGI. That fight scene. Ugggh. Could have been orchestrated a lot better, sure. But holy shit it was pretty damn beautiful. Everyone hating on the cgi like, get your monitors checked damn. Characters and shit are likable enough I guess. Annoying at times but meh. |
| Well, the CG was pretty awesome. I'll give it that much. I think this season may be setting a minimum standard for how good future CG-heavy anime should look. |
| The OP and ED are funny, I think they can be kawaii too... A story about the twelve zodiac Chinese animals is very to wish. I'm very interested in the zodiac Chinese, also the occidental zodiac is interesting too.. But a story about one animal, the cat want to become one of the twelve it sounds very nice! Also if the cat becomes part of the zodiac Chinese, then they will be thirteen and no longer twelve ^.^ |
| Maloween 2017 Main Candies   |
| LOL they even add a reference of Shimono hiro dressed as the Onsen King xD |
| I think it was okay. It was funny and the CG looked good, better than in Show by Rock. |
| Holy Madoka! The Yuri is strong here! My Anime List  |
| The fight scenes were actually pretty well animated |
 |
| Chinese Zodiac ; 0 Shimino as the Onsen King!!! I WANT TO SEE MORE !!!! |
| At first I was upset that there's a male protagonist, then I was relieved that Hiro Shimono is going to do the voice, but after the episode I was upset again. Another anime that's 15 minutes too long. |
| show looked little to random to me but i wanted to see it since it's the first time i've seen the twgok art style used other than that but seriously another mix Chibi CGI this season?! just when i was finally getting used to far more shows using CGI characters they go and do this lol at least it's well animated |
 |
| Welp, another guilty pleasure of the season. Not that bad. Since Akio Watanabe and Hiro Shimono is here. Kek. The CGI was good tho. But dem, can Rie Murakawa change her voice a bit? Doesn't look like a harem. WHAT WAS DAT PREVIEW? The ed illustration tho. I DIDN'T SCREEN CAPTURED THE HECK OUT OF IT JAKKALAHSHAHS |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| You're all delusional. I haven't seen good CGI since Yamato 2199. Definitely well made. |
| "whats so special about bonzai trees?" "They are the loli of the tree world."  Inganock of the Brightest Flame |
| ....Meh??.... we'll see! |
| That was pretty good and the CG sort of fit in |
| Thursdays are not looking too strong... Another show where literally shit is just happening. Again, give another week or two to make the final call. But Nyaa-tan is annoying as all hell. That's what's killing this more than anything. |
| meh, probably won't continue this. The CG wasn't too bad,but I still like 2D animation waaay better. I just thought Nya-tan was annoying and the "moe" moments seemed kinda forced to me. The comedy didn't get me either. |
| The CG was pretty good. I have no idea why but I liked this episode. Nice character designs! Watanabe Akio is god. |
| Desu desu! Is that language ancient Chinese (or Japanese's on-reading)? For modern Chinese (Han Chinese) should be this: shǔ niú hǔ tù lóng shé mǎ yáng hóu jī gǒu zhū (鼠牛虎兔龍蛇馬羊猴雞狗豬) |
| THIS ANIME IS HAS CHANCE TO BE THE BEST ANIME THIS SEASON!!!!! Woah!!!!! I usually scan series episode by episode but this! THIS! I watched it completely! This is the cutest, harem this season. I'll stack Re-kan, mikagura???, etc.. This one I'll wait every week to watch!!!! |

| This anime would be much better if the Dense MC will be replaced by Perverted Lolicon MC. Wish fulfillment to the max. |
