Mmmmn...this one's not for me. I didn't mind the concept, but I didn't find the action scenes exciting, and in a frantically paced anime like this one, that's not good. To me, the action was either a chaotic game where the heroes' abilities weren't clearly defined, or a battle with a bunch of poorly animated circles that just disappeared in blast effects. The MC's rebel without a pause routine didn't really pull me in either.

Agreed, it also does not help that the season is so busy that I need to more a bit more strict, it is not like the show has no value though.

It is a busy season.

So far I've dropped Guilty Gear, Classic Stars, Maebashi Witches, Keep Your Panties on Takamine-San, and Yandere Elf.

Zatsu Tabi and Rock is a Girl's Modesty and The Beginning After the End are all on pretty shaky ground. Almost grudging probation, really.

And I've still got 24 anime on my watch list as of yesterday, and the debuts are still rolling in.

Episode 1

My first drop of the season, although considering that I didn't even get through the first episode, I'm not sure it's a drop as much as it is a not picked up. In any case, did not vibe with the visuals or the "story." It's possible, I guess, that if I had sampled this early on in the season, I might have at least finished the episode, but I think premiere exhaustion is starting to set in.
