THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
First ep aired. Wasn't aware it was based off an ero-game. First learned about this show in a mecha discussion. But being based off an ero-game, I'm not as interested.

I think as stated in a Gundam 00 Episode 2 discussion, the purpose of the episode discussion is not to tell people it aired but actually talk about the episode. However, all I can say is that I hope Night Wizard and Rental Magica doesn't over power this show into submission. From what I've seen regarding blogs though is the fact the first episode looks like a lot of flashbacks and a basic introduction to the world.

So I just watched the first subbed episode, not bad for a first ep. The attacks look pretty cool and the character designs are interesting as well. I also liked the ED in this ep so I'll see how episode 2 will be like. Kagura's already pretty cool.

I actually really liked this episode. I enjoy these kind of fantasies. Hopefully it doesnt disapoint me like Shining Tears did.

I liked the episode :)
I hope Hans isn't dead or turns out to be the bad guy sister hell was talking about, cause he seems to be one of the cooler characters so far.
In any case, looking forward to episode 2.

Thanks De-Jay for my claim picture : ).

I didn't like Hans at all. I was waiting to see him dead since the first clip shown. =P And if I see him again alive, being all evil and super powerful knight, I'm dropping this series there.

I thought it was pretty boring. I'll probably watch it again when it finishes airing.

I thought it was kinda boring myself, I'll give it a few more episodes, but depending on the series sizes... I might not stick with it. I'm giving it a chance though, but I felt the way everything came together was kind of a sloppy mess.

I actually thought the episode was pretty good, the characters look great and I also liked how in this episode they explained the background story while at the same time they were fighting, it made things a lot more interesting.

It was a pretty good episode. This series I know I'm going to like. It's good that they gave us a bit of a background story already, instead of wasting like an entire ep just for it. The action was good, and I really like the character design.

Character designs that look like kids but have huge boobs still kinda freak me out... even though I should probably be used to it by now. I'm a sucker for fantasy + romance though, so I'll give this one another ep or so to convince me. Don't really know what's going on yet, but not bad for a first ep.

Well, that's what you get when ero-games are made into anime. Besides the eyecatcher in the middle it didn't really bother me since I didn't notice. xD

I kind of liked it. The spells were pretty cool. The teacher with the twin blades is my fav character. Why can't the main character have twin blades?? The move she did was killer

Thought the first episode was terriable. As it stands it is one of the worst shows that I am currently watching and possible have ever seen. I think Mokke is better and like no one is watching that and it harder to find sub versions and even that show is iffy. Almost the entire time I was watching the show I was wondering when it was going to end.

The art and character design was pretty decent, but the plot and character development is not really working. It seem to give off a sense of over damraization and a cheesy feel to the dialog. I also did not like the way they keep flash between the present and the past, I mean it can be done but I think they have done it in the worst way. I will give it another 2 or 3 epsiodes at least to see if it will get any better before I drop the series.

Really? I actually enjoyed the switch between the current fight and the flashbacks. For some reason, it kept me interested and both plot lines were really interesting.

But seeing the past really confused me. They characters of the past aren't the same ones we see fighting, right? Like, the green haired guy and Hyaweh aren't the same person? Because they had the same promise. That really confused me and even after scanning through the episode a second time, still couldn't figure it out.

The animation reminds me of some of the older anime. It has the feel. The art is interesting. I totally love the unique weapon designs they have. Loving the magic and summons - reminds me of Final Fantasy. I'm interested in seeing how this show develops. Definitely a good start in my opinion.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Who the hell is Maistel? Like you said, he has the same promise as Hyaweh, but they're two different people. I'm confused as well.

The flashbacks were quite annoying and confusing. Other than that, it seems like a decent show.

This was based off of an ero-game?:O
I noticed some scenes were a little bit showy, but nothing even slightly ecchi has happened yet.

Well what do we have here. We have knights, magicians. Some dressed in heavy metallic European armor, some dressed in simple Japanese warrior cloth and cute magical girls.
We have war over religion, a we have romance, and we have so far, complete gender equality. And we have what would look like, the opportunity for great epic battles.

Oh, and not to mention FANTASTIC character designs.

This show has most of the making for a good anime except this: the pacing.
A good anime pushes you from episode to episode and keeps every little bit entertaining. But this was a total snooze. And it's a real shame too, considering how many good aspects this anime has already.

Old avatar and sig retired for now.

This was a fast paced and confusing episode. Animation isn't that good. Also, why would they start this series right in the middle of a war. Normally they would have had episodes before this one explaining why they would go to war and to also introduce the characters.

Perhaps in the next few episodes my opinion about Prism Ark will change, but for now I give this episode a...

2/5

I like that alt. history map of Europe. Hmm, is Windland the HRE of that world? Interesting.
Priecia's armpits looks delicious! That boobs and nipples look yummy too!
Hmm, so that was them all along. I got confused because how did Hyaweh suddenly become blonde.
