She is even more perfect then I imagined! Dat Hentai-moe DAT CHEST

Based Taku on the OST

"GATCHAMAAAAAAN"

I like how she holds onto Utsutsu like she is a toy she found.

Anime of the season for me.

Well, that was unique.


One of the girls seems to have a fascination of planners. One of the scenes involving her ave me some GC vibes..

Mecha designs looks decent I guess. Pretty cool moves. The OP song is pretty good and I'll remember it for this season :3

I really love the OST, Iwasaki does it again. "Gatchamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan", great.

It was very different from the original series. I kinda liked the new adaptation, which felt fresh to me.

Execution of the battle scene was mediocre. Perhaps it's impossible for any creator to show a new style of battle. The bright coloring a bit reminded me of Ghibli anime. The artstyle was unique. I liked it. The transformation of that girl reminded me of mahou shoujo, and it felt like a cliche: a circle appeared over the head. That panda-looking creature reminded me of Monokuma from Danganronpa.

Overall it was fun to watch. Looking forward to 2nd episode.

Out of context it looks like O.D. just sold Utsutsu to Hajime here. "DEAL"

EDIT: HS is out!

Hajime is so infectious, the energy she brings is just too much for me
OD and Joe seem like cool characters

GATCHA!!!!

There were some off kilter shots but nothing too major, probably ran out of time to do that last coat of polish. I can definitely see Nakamura's influence in the art style which has a lot of similarities with Tsuritama.

There we go. Finally the last show that I was really excited for.
The visuals/atmosphere/characters have their own bit of uniqueness to them. Hajime is a lively one!
I enjoyed it.

The color scheme and style used is quite interesting, especially when it comes to the hair:

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Did anyone else bust out laughing at this scene?


When I heard the way he screamed I completely lost it.
Loved the opening and the soundtrack. Hajime is just completely adorable. So far so good, definitely looking forward to next week.

Hajime's installed 'Gatcha' into my brain >_<

At first I didn't like the character designs, but I guess i can adapt to the art style since this first episode was pretty cool. Love how the main character just accepts everything that's happening and is like, "alright cool". I wonder what the main story line is going to be and hope that it is not going to be a "monster of the week" type of deal.

Wow Hajime is beyond annoying, nothing but a big boobed airhead it would seem. She needs a dose of reality with a serious beat down. Well, other than her, the episode wasn't too bad. Still undecided if I like the art, maybe it will grow on me.

Certainly one of the most ditsy-est MC's I've seen in a while. They explained a lot of the background nicely but there's still a lot of mystery. The art is also rather different from what I'm used to so we'll see how that goes. Seems interesting enough and I love the seiyuu cast. I hope it doesn't stay all action though.

Oh man that was great. Enjoyed every second of it.
That OST was fantastic and I really like the MC, I mean I could watch Hajime for hours and never get bored.

Favourite 1st episode this season. I think I'm going to love this anime.

Was entertaining as hell. Loving Hajime and her energetic personality. Utsu-tsu adorable too and no clothes~ OST reminds me of some Redline tracks. Would have preferred no CG but it's passable.

True...
Hate these overenthusiastic main characters.
No charm at all...
even this anime is dissappointing. What a crappy season.
I will rate 6/10 for now and see what happens.

Interesting first ep. Rikka voicing MC = win

Also good to see Aya voicing a character that has more of a recurring role rather than background ( Except for Lucy obviously ).

I wish she'd get more roles these days. I love her voice.

I really don't know what to think of this one. It certainly looks like a show to not take seriously but it's interesting at the same time.

I didn't care for the opening but the ending song is nice. I found Hajime quite obnoxious and Utsu-tsu reminded me of Nanami a lot of times.

I'll keep watching because I don't like leaving things unfinished but I already don't have any expectations for this Anime.
