Your point? Just because other shows use it doesnt mean its good. And also someone needs to add the ecchi tag for the show, I never had a chance to see other stuff made by gainax so I didnt know they were so fond of this kind of ecchi.

Or maybe the people bashing ecchi fanservice in other shows are not the same ones as the people enjoying this show...
Also wit isn't only something absent from anime, the japanese culture in general has little of it (or at least it's very different from the west),even outside anime japanese humour is based on slapstick,absurdism,missunderstandings and can be quite trashy.
I can understand if it's not your thing,but that's more of a culture clash with japanese culture in general than with this anime in particular.

What's preventing me from giving this a 5/5 is the over the top fanservice. I would cut just about a minute of fanservice, Loved the manservice though because of Ryuuko's face, who apparently also dislikes fanservice. Loved the transformation. But my favorite part is the preview for the next episode. By introducing more Satsuki it might prevent this from becoming a monster of the week deal until the last battle and mix things up.

Ehem, the first episode had references to Dezaki and Go Nagai (some of them VERY clear), hell, if you didn't notice, they are even using an artificial grain filter for the animation to make clear that this show is an homage to 70's-90's stuff. But whatever.


I see you didnt understand my post. I dont care whether its a homage to 70-90s anime or if its making references to other anime, what I meant is that the content itself is bad for the reasons I stated in the previous page of this thread, and if this anime requires you to have rose-coloured nostalgia glasses on to enjoy it then its even worse.

Definitely not... some people like older style shows. I think overall you are missing the point of the show and thus not enjoying it (just my observation anyway). It honestly should have the parody tag attached to it but whatever, if you it's that bad to you maybe you should drop it? I did that with SnK when the pacing got too bad to ignore.

Not gonna lie, I really liked this episode a lot. The OST is really shaping up to be awesome! Also did anyone else notice that the school looks a lot like a Uniform?


Yes! The school uniform's a very prominent theme but it definitely reminded me of one.

The show has been very entertaining, though I find the fan service to be a little bit excessive.

I watch this show with my friends and my sister, they may not get the references because they don't watch much anime but they sure like the style (the filter, those sketchy stills, the artstyle, etc) and they still enjoy it (I may enjoy more because I get most of them). None of them complained about the fanservice, really.

If you don't like what this show delivers, instead of think "This show is bad, disgusting, whatever" you should think "This show isn't for me". Because, you see, a lot of people like it on this site, /a/, 2ch, NicoNico, etc. and is indeed one of the most popular shows for this season. I wouldn't say you have a bad opinion or you have bad taste, I can just say that if this show is not for you just drop it (because most likely those aspects you don't like will remain).

My point is that just because it doesn't make you laugh doesn't mean others can't find it funny.You're acting as if there's one unique formula to being funny and that if it doesn't follow it then it's bad.
I got quite a few laughs from this episode, from Mako not caring about getting hit by balls and continuing to talk,from the moment Senketsu didn't wake up and Ryuuko ran off again, from Satsuki keeping interrupting her subordinates from above, from the random poses the homeroom teacher took and more

I was not trying to say its impossible for others to find it funny, what I wanted to say is that I personally dont find it funny, sorry if my posts were implying something else. I was simply stating my opinion of this show so far and I think I have the right to do that even if its a negative opinion. I just kept posting on this thread because people kept quoting my posts.

This episode was.... pretty cool!
more information about the kamui was given, which is pretty helpful.
i'm still not too keen about all of the fanservice that the anime throws out though :/
but it looks like she'll have to keep fighting club captains until she can defeat female hitler heh
damn that teacher is hot and they glorify it and i love it

I really don't know what to think of this. I'm not bothered by the fanservice (don't care about it really), so that's not the issue. Hell, as long as I can keep my brain on autopilot, this is actually quite entertaining. Problems start when that stops working and I just stare at the screen with a blank expression in a "what the hell am I watching?" fashion. And indeed I have no idea. I can't get a grip on what's happening because it's going WAY too fast.

As of now, this is a dumb, but relatively entertaining series for me. Having awesome OST and trippy visuals most certainly helps a lot. And ~25 mins/week is perfectly enough of this. I sure as hell wouldn't grind it. Still, unless the series shows some signs of an actually ongoing plot, I'll eventually drop this.

This felt like Trigger's reply to all of the Japanese Otaku who didn't like the non-fanservice nature of Little Witch Acadamia. It was a little disturbing, especially when the teacher decided to start striping for NO REASON WHATSOEVER.

One of the targets that the tennis club captain broke through was shaped like Hokkaido (northenmost of the 4 main islands of Japan) which her club was supposed to go against.

Also, it's fishy that Isshin (Ryuko's dad) had an eyepatch on his right eye and Senketsu's right eye seems damaged.

Another first-class episode. Poor Mako's dad called hentai. lol I really like Ryuuko. Her duel with Satsuki was awesome. She is cool and autonomous. Also I like VA of Ryuuko. It really fits the character. I like her character design (including so many facial expressions) as well. I laughed at her facial expression during getting blood drawn. Cute! Her talking uniform was funny. What a dad she has! lol

I liked Satsuki's rationale behind their use of school uniforms as combat jackets. Until watching the episode, I had wondered why characters often wore school uniforms in many battle anime. Now it was dispelled. That towering building reminded me of a tower from Utena.

The tennis match scene reminded me of Aim for the Ace. It was nicely done animation-wise. I was surprised today's creators successfully drew that kind of retro-style art. Thinking today's creators used to modern art style as their daily work, I guess it was not easy. Kudos to the creator! I don't think it's their nostalgic longing for good old days. Power and intense of the show would have been dampened if it had been a modern art style. They went back to grass roots of anime to restore vitality.

OP lacks a WOW factor for this kind of powerful show IMO. Wish the OP was something like OP of WataMote. But maybe I will get used to it soon. I like ED, which I think describes Ryuuko's desire very well. ED suggests she wants to live a normal life just like other school girls do though her current life is full of trials and tribulations.

Time did fly fast when I was watching the episode. It's the basis of anime as entertainment. The show is full of high points, and everything flows naturally. Amazing
