| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that was more lighthearted than I had expected. We get a little background story too and the main girl always wanted to be a magical girl. Character designs imo looks kinda meh, nothing impressive there although the episode does set up the season somewhat well with the game gimmicks. I think Koyuki is cute as a button though, especially her in-game avatar :> Definitely overall lighthearted so far. I kinda like the ED theme song. |
 |
| I was expecting a dark, action-packed fuckfest of magical girls killing each other. Instead, I got...... nothing. That was nothing. |
✧ |
| Well I suppose that was kind of a slow start but it wasn't bad at all. I like the art and the animation is good too. That opening scene though, All that blood. :O After seeing that I kept expecting someone to get stabbed during some conversation though in the end nothing happened. XD The chatroom was literally a chatroom, I don't know why I was expecting some huge palace like conference room. Sou-chan can change genders, Wow. :3 Overall, Most of the episode was basically just info dumping and building the setting of the events to follow, It was still nice though. Looks like that post credit scene with the mascot saying it wants to halve the number of Mahou Shoujo's is the trigger to the Blood and Gore that is expected to happen. |

| hmmm, so they choose to mix volume 4 short stories with the volume 1 storyline at adequate moment. I had the feeling they would do that, so I'm not surprised, it's the most logical choice. I had a bit of a WTF moment on the scene before the OP with all the bodies before I understood what scene that was, and I salute the choice for an opener, that was interesting (I don't salute the way they handled the scene tho, oh well). For anyone interested, the real short prologue scene of the first volume is actually around the 13th minute in, with the girl who lost her key. Everything before that is prior to volume 1's story. Due to this however the main story will begin more slowly, not like it's a bad idea imo. It's just that some anime watcher with their usual goldfish-level of attention spawn may not follow the story until it really start so that may lower the popularity and sales overall but.... Well, whatever. EDIT : Oh, and I forgot to talk about it, but I like both the ending and opening song. Nice stuff. |

 Well considering the synopsis and that earlier scene of blood, this anime surely "cute" to watch. Especially their avatar. And that is Souta. Never even think about it. LOL |

| Not sure what to think. The beginning and ending's darker undertones make this pretty intriguing, I just hope it plays out in an engaging way if it indeed is a survival game of sorts. OP and ED both really solid. |

I don't know about "level of dark" but it's not a happy story at all, that much is similar, yes. Probably even less of a happy story than Madomagi, but the "pain" is more direct than madomagi, less psychological and most physical, especially in the arc that will be adapted in anime. |
|
| Another really good anime starts airing today. Love all the characters That cliffhanger tho lol I've only read the prologue, but I'd really like to read more. Hope the LN will get a full translation some day |
| well this was actually a pretty good first episode. i just knew the boy from koyuki's 'backstory' would also be a magical girl. even if it's weird that he turns into a girl haha i wonder how i'll think about it once the killing stuff starts. |
 |
| Just introduction episode, not best one, but kinda good. Scenes before opening and after ending, ware most interesting. Cutting number of magical girls to 8... So can we expect 8 of them to survive this? |
| hm i give it a chance so lets see how it develops. |
| It started very lighthearted. It seems that the mahou shoujo dream of that girl is going to turn into a nightmare next episode. That bunny gave vibes like Kyuubey from Madoka. I will follow a few episodes to see how much slaughter we get. |

| Hm, that was nice. I enjoyed it ! Also fuck yeah for more Nano ! Already can see it being one of my favorite ending this season. |
 |
| I remember when this was first announced I immediately got Madoka vibes from the synopsis. The way the episode started and ended is making me feel like that's what we're gonna get soon enough. Lol I can't believe Koyuki's friend actually became a magical girl. Good job Souta, follow your dreams. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Not quite what I thought it would be but OK for the first ep |
| "I lost all of what you could call feelings of love. They weren't sealed, so they can't be released. They weren't broken, so they can't be fixed. That which is lost, cannot be recovered."

| Even boys can become magical girls, pon! I really like the OP and ED songs, hope that translates into the rest of the OST as well! If it does I can see this show having the best ST of the season |
| Like a gorier Yuuki Yuuna? Either way, an interesting first episode. Could go in either direction, but I have faith in this one. Nice ED by the way. |
| That trap caught me off guard I can't wait till they start killing each other  |
 |
| it's not like boys becoming magical girl are the most surprising thing happening in Mahoiku anyway x). they could have trolled peoples in the anime by delaying the reveal about Souta (doing a flashback later on). What a waste of an opportunity. The salt about peoples taking her as a waifu would have been worth it :p. |
|
| Pretty good animation, effects and high-def art. Good production values but will the story be up to par? |
 |
| Not what I expected but then again, we can't expect all blood and guts in episode 1, right? This episode did great a setting up a happy magical girl society. I hope that next episode however, that we start to see some of the dark themes that seem like they will be present through this series. |
| Wow, I'm happy that I picked it! Really interested in it now. I like that they did a slow paced episode first (people are ALREADY complaining that nothing happens? IT IS THE FIRST EPISODE WTF XD) I KNEW THAT LA PUCELLE WAS THAT GUY! >: ) (Funny because when they were all in that chatroom I thought "What if one of them is actually a fat bearded dude?" lol) The ending is pure love <3 Fav is basically Monokuma then XD And guys turning into magic girls is not actually knew, just uncommon:  |

| Looks very promising. Snow White's design is very cute. |
| Production-wise, this looks really good. Lighthearted start, so any impatient people are likely triggered and will leave butthurt. I like the Mahou Shoujo designs, really good looking and it's cool that we have the boy from the flashback be her mentor. That sneaky cliffhanger though :> |
| Definitely a light-hearted start, but there's still more than enough here to grab my attention, not least that opening scene and the one after the credits. For now at least, until the survival game or whatever gets started, it seems like it'll be interesting to see how they continue to apply the premise of becoming magical girls through a phone game; it's something different for once, and I definitely like how it's been handled already. My only complaint is that Fav wants to halve the number of magical girls in the city (though 15 to 8 isn't halving, but whatever) but still invites Koyuki to be one just before deciding on this cull. I'm assuming this is something Fav has been thinking for a while now, as the exposition from Souta makes it easy to understand how various issues could arise from there being 15 in one city, so to add another one seems bizarre. Oh well, OP is good, ED is excellent and this seems highly promising, so I'm fairly satisfied. |
| It was alright, I do expect it to get darker. I liked both op and ed, and the animation was pretty good. The art was high quality. Although I might have to rip my ears of if I hear another fucking pon. |
| Well, atleast the artstyle isn't ugly like that Madoka anime.I also like how unlike most magical girl shows this one has girls(and one dude) looking more human/different than their transformations. Overall it was OK first episode, just waiting for shit to get real(hopefully in the next episode). |
| Congratulation, Souta, for achieving the dream of every mahou shoujo lolicon freak of becoming the thing they desire. ^^; (Still astonished with the fact that it's Ayaneru.) Done right, and this could be sick. |
| For sure, Nano sing the ED song. and i like it a lot. the thing that i like about this first episode is the atmosphere which i will feel until the end of the series. i like it a lot. the op song is pretty good and the ed song is great. animation looked pretty in my perspective...but....the story....i'm not really sure...but let's just see. i mean, a guy actually turrn into a magical girl and literally turn into a female. that was one hell of a trap. he isn't the only one moreover. and i kinda hope this is not madoka magica rip off. the into got me goosebumps but after that, just a lighthearted scenes. but i will see what will happen. expecting somthing good tho xD looking foward to the next episode... |
 |
| I actually liked the episode a lot. Liked how they shown that gritty beginning to have a light hearted introduction instead (though the beginning implies things are going to end very ugly, and the ending doesn't helps at all). Loved how they take the magical girls with any of them having different powers and missions (thing who Madoka also had, but that aspect wasn't explored very much in the series). My biggest two surprises have been however this two: 1) La Pucelle being actually Koyuki's male friend from the school. I have the feeling he would reappear at some point in the story, but definetely not as a magical girl (who ironically has bigger boobs than Koyuki). In fact, I thought it wouldn't be strange there would have been a male player considering it's a online game (plus the great among of male fans of the magical girl genre), but didn't expected Koyuki's friend being one of them. 2) This character being voiced by Megumi Ogata of all people. I am so used to her boys roles I forget she can pull a nice girly voice when she wants. Anyway, nice beginning for the series (even the visuals looked really good). Looking forward this. Btw, I swear that Fav magical pet is the bastard son of Monokuma and Kyubey. |
 |
| Not bad. :) And that trap tho. ( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°) But, i think souta is gonna die. |
| ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼Do you want to become a magical girl, Koyuki? |
| yo i watch this show with shitty character design just to expect some madoka |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| I don't understand how people can be complaining about how it's not dark enough when it's the first episode. |
   |
| I liked the first episode. I can tell that this won't be a Madoka rip off, which was my biggest concern before watching, which is a good thing. |
| It looks gorgeous, the music fits and the dialog is actually pretty decent. I officially have expectations of this show now, especially since this is the first time in months, literally, that I like something from episode one. Also, the ED is just so fucking nice. |
 |
| so i wasnt the only one who bothers a bit about characters design, tho it doesnt really matter, it feels interesting so far, and i didnt expect that his Hefriend became a Magical girl lmao, that was kind of random, i wonder what did he did the first time he transformed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Didn't really expect that, it was lighthearted for sure. |
 |
| You know things will end up south with that ending. Decent first episode. A lighthearted first episode is a good introduction I'd say. Can't wait to see how dark this will get. Great OP and amazing ED by the way. |
  |
| Watched the anime because of Nano. The episode 1 is pretty lighthearted, good start i guess. But i didn't expect the 1st scene to be filled with blood lmao. It would be nice seeing people slowly dying as they watch the later episodes of this anime, from lighthearted to merciless killing each other i'm so blessed to watch an anime again lololol That trap though. Love ya' Sou-chan 7/10 so far. The start is good, OP/ED is nice, Good animation. Will watch the 2nd episode next week. |
