| First Impression: Sound: I don't like the OP The ED is okay Overall tracks suiting to the show but not yet amazing Voiceacting all top notch but nothing outstanding Animation: PA works standard high quality Nice looking backgrounds PA works standard Character Designs, all a bit too much on the Bi-Shi side to my taste Fluid but nothing outstanding so far Story: Good introduction, though yet unknown future Becomes interesting already at 8min with the crazy Computer scene, I hope more like that happens Many questions open Characters: Non is so far likable Typical shy maingirl, I'm not sure if I can warm up to her Only interesting one is the introduced boy So far weakest point (but well only 1 episode) Enjoyment: 4/5 Nice but nothing that instantly hooked me. |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| Definitely will keep watching it to see where it goes... AlexTheRiot said: Damn people, let's chill out and find out more about the characters before we spout about how terrible they are. Episode One.. But yeah Miyuki is a pretty colossal dick so far haha ^ |
| I thought this was good for the first episode. Great artwork and I love both the OP and ED themes already. But I gotta say that Miyuki dude is a dick. |
 |
| Wow Miyuki was quite the dick but this is the first episode so I won't judge anyone right now..I will definitely keep watching this because I want to see what the girl's ability or "magical powers" are. Hate the OP but love the ED. The underwater incident, woah what happened there? Damn bullies, how the hell did someone manage to hit her face at school omg? Also, falling of a cliff, okay, I would've definitely died, but seeing how he survived idk moving on I don't have a feeling whether this will turn out bad or good idk |

Well, that was at least my first impression until she fucking killed all the computers. And I just can't remove the word "slice of life" in my mind knowing that its P.A Works. |

Well, that was at least my first impression until she fucking killed all the computers. And I just can't remove the word "slice of life" in my mind knowing that its P.A Works. It is an adaptation of one of the most heralded Japanese modern fantasies novels in recent years*. It is NOT marketed as a "Light Novel", despite the fact that it is formatted as one, but is actually marketed to mainstream, non-otaku, sci-fi/fantasy readers*. It is not shoujo. The novels don't really have a demographic, but the manga adaptation is published in Shounen Ace, not a shoujo mag. As for slice of life, not really. It is classified as fantasy and romance. * At least this is what I have read about it elsewhere... |

He fell down the cliff out back. Good thing I went to look for him." However, from the way that Yukimasa and Mizuki were talking and behaving, I feel unsure about what actually happened. |

| love the atmosphere and the story seems interesting even though there are only unanswerd questions after first ep, so it will be nice to get all those questions answered in the upcomming episodes |
| Quite an array of characters here, and there was really nothing that appealed to me a lot in this episode. The premise seems decent enough but Miyuki's got it tough which turns him into a fag, Yukimasa is absolutely nuts and some of Izumiko's classmates are also annoyingly cruel. I like the protag though and in this episode it wasn't very enjoyable to watch her have a hard time. As I first episode, I expected a strong setting into the whole idea and I think what P.A has managed here is to do that to some extent but I'm less intrigued and more repelled by what has happened so far. I think it's worth to hold onto RDG for now, but we'll see where this starts to go to, probably to some supernatural stuff I forsee. |

| How old is Miyuki again? I can see why he has that kind of attitude. Thanks to a 33 y.o dad. And when he said he fell down a cliff, it can also mean that the dad pushed him down. |
| This episode surprised me. It had atmosphere and a neat premise. The guy is a royal asshole though. |
4kicks said: Amarrez said: Miyuki is a douchebag, and Izumiko is a doormat. It's like I'm really watching a generic shoujo! The premise was interesting enough for me to want to keep watching though. ^This. Miyuki...what a dick. Kids like him need a kick in the crotch...regardless of how old he is. I can't stand bullies and pricks. I hope he gets what's coming to him. And that part about him falling down a cliff; I could care less if he fell down, or was beat up by his father, or sodomized by a bear: he could use some more time as a sack to be thrown around. Do you really think he was bullying that girl? Well I liked that guy, he's got his own will, he hated anyone weak-willed because he can't stand those that can't do anything on their own and relies on others often, the total opposite of him, he treats elders with manners, as seen from his mannerism when he was speaking with the aunty, but he was rude to his father because his daddy kinda care less about him, as proven when he said "Why are you acting like a father now?", understand? Hmm he's cool, and I smell great character development for both of them, the himegami and the manservant :) I want romance between them if there is any, not with Wamiya-kun or anyone else!!

TBH What did the manservant did to deserve all the hate? I wonder.. IMO his dad beats him up, I doubt he fell from the cliff, that's life threatening.. |

| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Guess gonna have to see more before decide anything although I don't like how Miyuki's act as a MC.. |
| Keep moving forward |
| I liked the setting... But it hints reverse harem.... 3/5 |
 |
| How could anyone be that mean to such a sweet girl? |
 |
| it's by PA works, so I would LOVE to finish this series, but indifferent to the series so far. Will give it some more episodes first. btw- http://puu.sh/2uxJo |
| ... I'm liking this a lot. neontaster said: How could anyone be that mean to such a sweet girl? My thoughts exactly... To me, she's adorable as hell. |

| Well, that was a slow start... not sure of what that anime is all about... I'll watch a few more episodes before drop it... |
| ... |
| Looks like the main character is like Sasami from Sasami-san@Ganbaranai. Some all powerful goddess that controls everything. Although it says, ONA, anyone read the manga or something *probably someone in the previous pages, but I'm too lazy to look...* |
 |
| As an aside, that helicopter pilot looks like Lockon Stratos from Gundam 00. LOL |
 |
| That was actually a bad first episode. |
|
| Anime should be renamed to RDG: Royal Douche Guys since all the dudes have been douches. Like wtf. |
 |
| Miyuki - a bad example of a servant LOL |
| I had completely the wrong idea about what this show was about. One thing's for certain, I'm hooked. I found the episode really interesting and mysterious. I don't fully understand why the boy is so intimidating towards the Izumiko but it keeps me watching. I find her very cute with her thick red glasses and long braids. Her fragility from being sheltered only adds to that. |
| This anime looks very intriguing so far. And I sorta like the serious mood that this episode is giving. As for Miyuki, even though he is being forced into all this, he is being a complete douchebag towards Izumiko. |
 |
| This show makes me wtf more than Aku no Hana. Miyuki's an asshole, even as a child and now. Seriously... Hitting a ball at a little girl? Tsk tsk. At first I thought it was kind of like Shinsekai Yori but then it turned Tari Tari and then..I don't even know. Anyway 3/5 Will give it a couple of eps Yvese said: Anime should be renamed to RDG: Royal Douche Guys since all the dudes have been douches. Like wtf. LOL YES. |
| Enjoyed it. Might watch every week. |
| I can understand the boy's frustration but being a complete prick and a bully is not a solution. I don't believe violence can be an answer, but I sure as hell didn't feel sorry for him when his father beat him up. I hope things will turn out well for Izumiko and that she can change for the better. The premise is interesting enough, will keep watching 4/5. |
| Not bad..Great ending song but uninteresting man character.I esp. dislike that guy for now..haha,he got beaten:P |

| I feel like I'm insulting P.A. Works by watching a shitty quality NicoNico rip, which is all there is available at the moment... Gonna wait for the rest to air before watching. |
| Never before have an anime been able to put me at sleep. A few more minutes and I would've fallen onto my keyboard. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| My impressions , first few minutes the show looked fine but after watching till 19:25 i dropped it ! Really hate dumb girl characters , never got so irritated by an anime as by this one , So Miyuki's shitty dad wants to make him manservant of shittyshy "princess" Izumiko to the point that he beats him up n brings him back . |
| Liked it! As the first episode I find it interesting, even fascinating, but the story has potential! Drawings and character design beautiful, I love it already! ^_^ |
 |
| Sagara Miyuki kinda ruined the show for me. sry. |
| nice start ^^ |
| This was pretty good, but I don't like the two MCs (the girl and the boy). |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
HeavenlyUser said: Seems interesting despite some mild hate for Miyuki I think there may be some reasons behind the way he acts. Though to be honest if I forced into moving, becoming a servant for a ignorant girl I to would be pissed to all hell. We'll see how it develops though or maybe ill just go read the manga... I think it's obvious he has reason to be mad and he probably hates her because of all the obligations he had to do because of her but still is kind of stupid trying to bully her since basically she's in the same position as he is. She also forced to have a tone of shit because of who she's suppose to be. I guess he gets angry because she could change things and even get him of the hook if she actually had a strong personality and told everyone to fuck off since she is precious to them and they wouldn't hurt her like they do to him. Anyway i still don't get the whole computer thing. So she's a mutant that makes electrical devices go high-wire or what? |
| During the first minute, I was like "Noo! Not the hair!" The OP was nice, especially the last few scenes that were briefly shown. And the ED was almost as nice. What I liked about this episode... would be the random water "flooding" the entire room and suddenly destroying all the computers. I guess my first reaction was right; her hair has spiritual power! Miyuki is a jerk, but I guess he has his reasons. But to be honest, Yukimasa didn't have to make his son "fall off a cliff". |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| I watch it from first episode :3 well because I kind of forget the story my opinion of this episode :3 yes it is gonna be amazing XD suzumiya is kind of calm girl.. she is nice :3 well no really pretty but.. I'm kind of like it X3 sagara is kind of annoying -_- and wamiya.. is it she/he ? :o |
| After watching this first episode I don't know why this show is rated at ~6.7. I feel like it is at least a 7. Anyway, since it finished airing I hope that it will be worth completing it within the next 48 hrs. I'm looking forward to the kiss! |
