Well, that was fun.

The OP song is alright I guess. Overall, a bit generic so far even for a Trigger anime. I like the overall premise though and what they are trying to do with it. OVER ELEMENT. Oh I think this series has a little D-Frag vibe to it with the elements too.

I think it had a fun set up so far. I wonder what other powers will exist in this show.

Really average. Might have cracked a smile once, and there was a lot of cringe worthy parts.

That said, "average" was better than what I was expecting here.

I found this episode to be okay. Andou's power should at least do something.

Trigger, is this really you?

Pretty meh to be honest.

Some funny moments, but didn't really like the animation. Kinda generic but it could become nice in the long run. Wait and see.

Maybe one more episode at best and I'll be done with this. Don't care if Trigger are the ones animating it, since the source material is the major flaw here. There's only so much you can do about that problem.

"Dark and dark" <-- Best superpower name ever made.

I'm not sure about what I think so far, these superpowers seem way too OP.

Thant LN writer always loved parodies, and the atmosphere seems similar to his first LN, it might be interesting to see an adaptation of his not dark-themed LN (But I still like his first LN better, and it was short, really want to see that translated).

Came for TRIGGER, stayed for Ando Jurai. I'm a sucker for characters like him.

Whether it gets better or stays the same (I was entertained at least), the animation I feel is still pretty enough to look at. Nice way to just sit back and relax.

I'd that Yuuta from Chuunibyou? They even look like eachother haha.

I thought it was pretty amusing. It wasn't outstanding, but Monday's will be fun if this doesn't turn into shit. I'm getting some Medaka Box vibes from this.

A bit generic, but it might work. If they keep it at least on that level in the next episode or two I'll stick with it!
No need to expect a new Kill la Kill from every new project from Trigger, then you don't get disappointed immediately because of high expectations!

Geez not much love for this here huh? I enjoyed it. I liked the art and story. It'd be nice if the main guy's power actually did something at some point, but if this remains light in tone I'm not sure that'll ever be the case.

Dear Authors, please, Make character act normally, not like brain-damaged monkey high on LSD!!!

Good they are making the show where everything isn't a disillusion of mentally challenged teenagers, but powers are actually real!

I llike characters design, but I can't stand that main cast will be brain damaged degenerates

LOL Jurai "Good morning Dark and Dark" and "Good night Dark and Dark" XD
6 people with different powers...
Lel Tomoyo seems to have a bit of chuuni herself.
Poor SCP, being all alone with her power till she got that text msg..
Kinda liked this so far :)
Chibi Tomoyo, Hatoko, Chifuyu and Sayumi :D

Lol people watching just because it's made by Trigger...

The same thing that we've seen a hundred times under the thin veneer of slight changes to the formula. Boring, repetitive and unoriginal. Thanks, but no thanks.

Anime looked ok except for one major thing.
That chuunibyou guy is really annoying all he does is showing of and embarrassing himself, to me it seems the only reason he is there is so the others characters can play tsukomi him in has bad attempts to gain attention.

The other characters where ok but none of them really stood out.

I actually like this better than IC and KlK. There are a lot of generic elements, but a good chunk of this show is parody and those elements make tempting targets. I really like that the one who is most enthusiastic about Super Powers ends up with the dorkiest one of all--the ability to create a small dark flame that doesn't burn anything. We'll also see just how well they deal with moe characters in contrast to their earlier productions since they got by largely on quirky design in those.
Please don't feed the trolls!
