| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was really calm. There's the atmospheric setting, soft music, and decent pace. Comedy is a bit of hit or miss tbh. Character designs is familiar with Koi to Chocolate that aired a few years ago. A so-so start for now as I'm not really impressed by the story and seems quite generic. Cute girls though and they've got some special shoes. Kurashina needs to improve her flight skills.  |
 |
| Yeah it's finally here ! AoKana hopefully it will be good. I have been waiting for this. :D |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Like the character designs...Gives off KoiChoco and KonoSora feelings...Will be fun... |
 |
| I remember when I first played this VN in late 2014 when it first came out... So far it's looking decent. Follow mainly best girl/Misaki route please. Not Asuka just because she is considered the 'main' like Chisato was... |
| この妖怪め…何度背後に立とうが俺はこの川原から立ち退くつもりはない。逆に俺が貴様を追い払…なにその顔？ ああ…前回失礼な事して、俺に睨まれたモンだから気に病んでるのか？心配御無用。男子高校生は傷つけられるのは慣れっこッス  |
| Not a bad first episode, they did their best with trying to keep it interesting, which did end up feeling a little fast paced. A number of art shifts throughout the episode with some scenes looking great and others average. Also some CGI seagulls and brief CGI moments during the match. There's already number of differences in comparison to the VN although they basically gave characters more screen time. (except for Rika....) They're doing a good job so far in hiding whose route they'll be doing. Upon rewatching the episode, they did a great job (funny comedy logic going on :D). I just might've not noticed it since I was too excited and shits on my first viewing. |

| Not bad really, and yeah I felt it went fast. Yeah it's really sad to not see more screen time for Rika. I really like that girl, true there is a some differences cause they want to speed up they meeting in anime. In VN protagonist was meeting Asuka alone and helping her with her flying, Asuka didn't even meet Misaki before she was introduce in class, but here she is. I miss that scene when Rika come to protagonist house with food and coming scene when they meet like that.. I can pretty much say they will kind of put in some of characters in all routes, since all characters show up in ED. I actually believe they will put more on Asuka route thought. |

| This was nice and certainly a great way to wash of the bad aftertaste of the Bahamut crap. The characters where nice to watch and i have seem some stuff from the game a while back so looking forward to the rest of this anime. |
| Watched it in school, lol. Overall okay episode really. A lot of the story points felt generic and overused. Also, though the art is good, yet generic. Premise isn't as interesting. 3/5 |

| good episode. though there are some difference between the anime and VN, especially when masaya first meeting with asuka and go to the school. I bet the anime will cover Misaki and Asuka Route. though there is a chance that they will cover Mashiro and Rika routes too. Is it me but, i think Asuka a little more 'active' than the VN? Actually i liked a more calm Asuka in VN, but oh well. |
| Not bad, I'm looking forward to next episodes. And Asuka, hnnng! So cute <3 Btw art and animation are amazing for Gonzo's standards. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Alright start....main heroine doesn't interest me so much but I'd like to see more of the girl who got caught undressing. Don't really know what to expect but the male lead is decent so hopefully something gets expanded upon the next 3 episodes. Definitely liked Misaki more than any other chick. |

| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Monty Python would be proud |
  |
| Pretty fun. Better than I expected. I want to live there so much D: Lol'd at Misaki's split personality between mornings and afternoons XD I can't put my hand on my feelings toward Asuka yet ^^; On one hand I really love her energetic personality but on another it's pretty damn annoying lol Dat air kick was friggin cool tho. |
 |
| I kinda liked Asuka, Misaki and Hinata....This whole concept of flying + this sport things looks like it could be pretty fun Visuals were pretty great too and there wasn't much fanservice either which is good |
| I didn't think I would like this show but the first episode was actually really cute. |
| Better than expected. Asuka was very likable. |
 |
| I've fancied the character designs of Aokana VN for a while now. Fortunately, Gonzo hasn't deviated from the original drastically, which looks pretty decent by anime standards. The plot however, is totally insipid. You've got the MC with past mental trauma, the nitwit newbie girl who, by sheer impulse, would manage to inspire the dude; after which some harem antics would follow involving the rest of the girls. This sort of story works well with visual novel, since every character has a route and gets proper focus; but anime tends to butcher them by either trying to handle all of them at once, or only give one or two the main focus, leaving the other characters insignificant. Well if nothing at all, this'll at least manage to fulfill its main duty of advertising the VN, which came out 3 days ago. |
 |
| That girl really annoy me |

| not the best first episode, oh well I'll watch it anyways |
| Really good first episode. I've been excited for this one. First ep definitely delivered! |
| Loved the first episode, felt pretty refreshing. Ending song was pretty nice too. I'll look forward to watching this one. |
  |
| Asuka is a clumsy precious cinnamon roll. "EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!! I WILL DO MY BEST EVEN IF I SUCK!!" Yeah, I can see this becoming a favorite of mine. Fast. |
  |
| The first half was OK but holy shit the second half was awesome. Had high expectations, I'm satisfied. The VAs did their jobs! |
| The visuals were nice, but I don't like the main heroin. |
| Pretty decent, liked the visuals too |
 |
| i really hope Gonzo can get recovered by this series since most of my favorite animes are produced by Gonzo. |
| Interesting, pretty good so far. Asuka looks like a interesting character and her VA suits her pretty well. Kinda lost at why they wear skirts if they are flying :X, must be quite a view. Will keep watching |

If it comes to me, maybe not my favorite series, but I really like thier Anime. Especially with sci fi in it. Saikano, Bokurano, Zaion, Kimi no iru Machi for example. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I watched this for Megumi Ogata. |
 |
| 1 thing I noticed is that every girl that spoke this episode had a speech quirk, this is going to be fun!! |
| Hmm, not too bad so far. Actually, I enjoyed mostly everything this had to offer. My only concern is Asuka. Her over-hyperactiveness at anything and everything is extremely irritating and I'm worried that if it's as excessive as it was here that it might derail the series a little. At the very least, I know I would have enjoyed this even more if not for that. I'm really liking the OP as well, but given that it's a Mami Kawada song that's no surprise. |
| This was painful to watch, I really hope it gets better beyond the first episode. All the girls seemed pretty annoying, the main one being unbearably annoying. Why did she put herself in a position to play that game when she can hardly fly? |
 |
| Well that was very refreshing to watch after just having watched Saijaku Generic no Bullshit. I like the concept of the whole flying sports thing. I thought it was a little far-fetched how Asuka sucks at flying but still, pretty much through willpower, was able to pull off that midair kick thing that allowed her to win the game. If those types of moments, along with that scene with Hinata that seemed like a repeat of Asterisk War/Rakudai Kishi/Saijaku, are kept to a minimum, this could be decent. I'm still not sold on the overall story yet. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Pretty interesting sport to watch. A drama romance anime, looking forward. |
 |
| What a lovely setting... |
| holy crap I didn't knew it was from a vn that's why I had a feeling of nostalgia girls are pretty and have pretty cute speech patterns girls flying in miniskirts must be heaven for those boys I expect a lot from this it got me hyped |
