So this is a regular school story with some supernatural thrown in.
I was kinda expecting more supernatural and less school life. So far it's working out fine. That Mirai sure is a clumsy girl despite her power. Gonna give this a few more episodes before I decide.. |

You're spot on with this analysis. Story wise this is just another pretty crappy fantasy/highschool show. The writing is painfully "light novel" and there's a lot of bad exposition and awful world building. But boy...does the stellar direction ever bring it to life! The fights are really dynamic and even the non-action scenes have a real nice visual flair and attention to detail. The music is really quite strong too and is often used to nice subtle effect. All in all, I'm surprised to say that I really rather liked this for whatever warts the writing might have. |

Hey, it would be awesome if you'd put Original Source spoilers in spoiler tags, please. As I have to point out continuously every time an anime is adapted from other sources, some of us don't like knowing anything about a story in advance. |

I bet this show wants to be Bakemonogatari when it grows up, it needs to get a lot more clever and wittier for that, though...but yeah, it looks pretty and aside from the clumsy moe girl, the characters weren't bad, so i'm gonna give it a couple of more episodes, i suppose.

Considering Chuunibyou was absolutely nothing like the light novel content, I don't think the 'spoilers' particularly for something as vague as initial relationship standing warrants any spoiler tag. |

Wow, what great logic - Show A didn't follow the source material so ergo there's no reason to think Show B will either.
I've reported your post and we'll get an official ruling. This is why I generally hate posters who insist on discussing Original Source material in anime threads. Many are very considerate been then you get complete a-holes. |

I'll tell you as well.
The light novel does not involve a Pink winged triceratops youmu which Mirai tames and flies around with. |

But if every anime character was courageous then anime would be boring since there wouldn't be conflict. Don't get me wrong, I dislike wimpy characters too, but Mirai is different. At least she is trying to fix it out of her own freewill. She isn't being a little @*#@! like some character from Evangelion. |

This show is already significantly better than Bakemonogatari ever was. At least it keeps its painful "derp herp we're self aware" schtick to a minimum and has a much livelier pace and way more energy. Although I'll grant, Bake did successfully make that episode about the snail resemble an actual snail in terms of pace. So there's that.

Great first episode. I like the characters and animation so far. That blood saber looks somewhat ominous which contrasts Mirai's character quite well. The movement also looks quite fluid which helps a great deal for the action scenes. I just hope it stays to its premise of "demon" hunter without veering off to slice-of-life.

I found the first episode to be quite enjoyable, myself. I'm definitely interested to see how the show will turn out. I have yet to see a KyoAni show that I disliked.

Comparing the two when they share nothing in common is one thing, but I'll take a show which can surprise me and still cater to my tastes over something that gives no fanservice for otaku and don't have anything to it than pretty animation. |

Beginning of this episode was pretty intense.
It sure was a pretty cool fight. Looks like she has some bad memories for the past. At least she found a good friend. Things should get more interesting soon enough. |

Episode 2, Mirai is STILL definition moe, however she is haunted by her past which more than likely has to due with an incident involving her inherited lineage power.
The balance of comic elements with the serious nature of the hunt creates in interesting atmosphere to keep tabs on. |
