THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It begins~

I have not played the game before but I have read part of the manga. So, jousting huh? I'm curious to see how this will go..and I see a lot of horses.

Character designs are kinda odd but there's a variety of characters. Seems like there's some flashbacks so maybe more details on explaining them later on would be cool.

Mm, I'm ready for more jousting. And oh snap, one of the horses got aggressive.

It's jarring how it seems like they ripped out the pink girl's design straight out of Princess Lover(another girl from a previous Ricotta anime adaptation)

They should just name the MC Robot-kun because that's how stiff his acting was

I won't lie, the uniforms attracted me to the series as they reminded me of Revolutionary Girl Utena. But that's it. Fun first episode, soundtrack is pretty good.

Doesn't say ecchi in the genre but with Sakura the skirt eating horse and it seems some future jousting lance skirt removal perhaps someone should add it. Not that I'm complaining! Just wasn't expecting it.

Cute, not sure that cuteness and a skirt eating horse can carry the show but I will give it another one or two and decide.

That Takahiro is too monotone, it's like he's depressed at life or something, the dude needs some emotion. After that, this was an ok first episode, the sport of jousting in this show seems interesting, so I'll give this a few more episodes to decide if I want to stay with this.

The person who is voicing him is new so maybe he will get better as the series goes on?

What's Lala doing here?

Anyway, was particularly interested in this because of the whole jousting thing, that setting is a personal favorite of mine so will definitely keep watching no matter how bad it gets. Already hating the main male character, man he's stiff and boring.

Also, anyone else feared horse rape for a second there?

Sure after idols and wrestling comes school with jousting. Because why not.

Takahiro is boring as hell but that pink haired girls saves it a bit - might check 1 or 2 more episodes and than we will see.
Won't become best romance this season (probably) but was fun.

Didn't get one thing though. That blue/black haired girl named Akane seems to be a lesbian over Celia. Why she is in wedding dress also in the ending? Or she will return to normal orientation?

Wow that was amazing! Looking forward to the episodes coming aftter this one! Pretty interesting - an anime about knights and jousting, something I've been looking for for awhile :).
I think this anime should be under the Ecchi genre as well lol

Surprisingly "tame" in fanservice so far.

Not sure if will keep watching.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I guess I might be the only one that found this a little interesting?

It kinda seemed like a role reversal, since usually you have the MC that gets into some kind of trouble or gets challenged and the girl has to train him. That could just be my inexperience though.

I do think there was a little too much fanservice, and I'm positive that horse had a rape face on at one point, but I don't think it's really any reason to stop watching. At least for now.

Ooh, jousting... the knight is the player of jousting and begleiter... searching... ah I see, an adviser. Since he is a previous knight that is recognized for his skills, I can see the girls why they want him to be a begleiter.

Anyways, will watch for more. This kinda like Princess Lover which has the same creator for this anime.

Male lead is unusually cool which is nice. A bunch of female jousters is pretty ridiculous, but I've seen stranger in harems. Girls and fanservice are kinda meh though in terms of looks.

Will keep on watching.

The character design looks good though.

Let's see how much better does it get, since most show this season doesn't grab me (Teekyuu is an exception... who the fuck doesn't like Teekyuu :P)

Unique sports anime. This type is fresh to me though the episode itself felt like warming up. The female lead a bit reminded me of Moka from Rosario Vampire.

I tired of this type of series. Planned to watch it because of the main heroines seiyuus but no. It's pretty and all but not catching, too fanservicy and even if we'll get normal ending(not open harem ending) it obvious that Mio will win while she is the most boring girl here.

Also, the armors are really detailed.

So the horse is an interspecies lesbian? Would explain the going after female's skirts.

Wonder what ending their going for...choosing just one, or a typical indecisive harem route where no one hooks up in the end like so many other crappy harem anime has utilized so far.

But seeing as if they ever do just choose one main heroine, it'll likely be Mio.

The animation is pretty good. The setting is 'mehh' for me though.
Same with the MC.

Good start I suppose, my expectations are really never set that high for harem anime anyway, but it became interesting.

To be honest, I thought it was going to be somehow centered around him and one of the other girls(Like the Student council pres), but so it appears that our MC will probably be training and aiding Mio to become the best jouster there is. Started okay, so let's see if it will get better or worse from here.

I have seen lot's of the eroge passed two years so it's nice to see a anime as well also read part of a manga and it's similar to this so far.
What strikes me most is the surroundings first of the episode started with a wind mill and judging by the shape it was based of a Dutch wind mill so Western Europe while most of the architecture in the city was something you would find in North Germany, Austria or Switzerland so Central Europe.
Well leaving details aside the start was reasonable.

The promo pic looks good, gonna check it out later.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

So-so. I'll give it another episode I guess.

The horse has more personality than the MC haha. Remove the MC, retain the horse and the girls and I'm sure this show will be just fine.

I liked it. I love women in armor, and women in armor while jousting is a big plus. And nice to see the MC isn't some stupid perv, though I think it'd be better if they removed him altogether. He's just a (Insert yourself here) character.

It was more comical then I tagged it for which isn't a bad thing. I mean Mio is a wet match in a dark cave but she's cute.

I doubt this will be a great show but it will prob be an entertaining watch. Not tragically dull, little harem action, cute girls, romance...I'll prob stick around.

I really wonder why they always pair the MC with either the bubbly air-head or the klutz out of all the choices that he can chose from. That kind or character generally really annoys me.

All I could hear from Mio was Miyako Miyamura, it's too bad she isn't near as hot or fun to watch.

MC seems devoid of personality thus far, we'll see if that changes..I just hope the jousting really picks up, I fucking love jousting.
