i never look at rating or scores and who make the anime. lol
It's kind of s meaningless thing when a show is not even finish yet.
Unless you talk about tv rating, then that's important.

Yeah, i don't know who made my fav anime. I only know how make Gundam.

Episode 3:

Jealous Kurumi spotted~
Eh, the episode felt kinda slow to me but I think the most important part is the flashback involving spoiler[Takeshi's bro. He seems to have a weird obsesses ion/crush(?) on Kurumi. Whether or not that is explored might be crucial since their family relationship kinda exploded from that.]

Anyways yeah.

Sigh the one good thing going for this show was his older brother and mom hating him. Now it turns out it was because of a stupid reason. spoiler[How does pushing someone make that sound effect? ]

Also wtf since when did Mui have such big knockers. I thought she was a DFC....

this anime need more action, stop with the stupid drama.

Since this is anime, we know the main character is a decedent of someone powerful already, they can skip that part also.

Fun days at the magic academy ^^
Wasn't too thrilled with the fan service.
Hope they won't overdo it and spoil the anime too much.
Guess it'll get better rating with more exposure of certain body parts.
Seems this was a relaxing episode with emphasis on relationships.
The whole spoiler[love drama part] was rather unnecessary and seemed kinda forced.
They should focus more on the magical warfare part.

episode 3

While I can understand that some of you want more action, especially since the title of the show. But I am actually quite enjoying the drama and other aspects. I am a little annoyed that they revealed the spoiler[relationship is fake and a way for him to protect her from unwanted attention], but it should make things interesting. It does seem that she spoiler[fell for him so she is being extra clingy with the promise, although does look like the promise should be dissolved as "they both like someone"].

And with his family, it looks like his brother hates him because his brother spoiler[liked Isoshima, he appeared to be a little obsessed with her really]. And it also looks like when confronted he spoiler[grabbed his brother by the shoulder, he shook him loose and fell into the way of an oncoming car], which is probably why the mother is so harsh on him.

This is a weird show. First eppie had a fair amount of action, so I thought, "okay, this is going to be a fighting show." Then the second eppie had virtually no action and a ton of exposition. Then the third show is virtually all love triangle. I'm thoroughly confused as to what this show actually is. Depending on how next week goes, the kind of show this will be for me is a likely a dropped one.

I think I have already dropped it. Seems to be a standard high school love triangle with slight magical trappings. I couldn't finish the third episode.

Episode 4:

It was a kinda meh imo but the teamwork was nice. Miu's brother sure doesn't like to play nice though.

Obviously it subscribes to the ActionComedyRomanceMagicFantasyScincefictionSchoollifeDrama genre. It absolutely isn't trying to do far too many things at once.

This show has some pretty shoddy writing. The whole thing feels both rushed and too slow at the same time, meandering from cliché to cliché for 20 ultimately boring minutes. I just feel like it should be so much better, as if what's been animated is the first draft of a work.

Takeshima and his friends still trying hard.
Considering how new they are at magic, they're doing fine.
Mui did something stupid again.
That girl just doesn't seem to think through things.
It'd be better if she'd at least take some backup with her.
Always trying to do difficult things on her own...
I think it's time for Mui spoiler[to give up on her bother].
Well, at least things are getting interesting.

so, since this show has covered nearly every cliche possible, when do you guys think Takashi's brother will travel to the magical world and instantly join the Trailers?

my guess is ep 7or 8 and his mother is previous owner of "Twilight"? Those are just educational guesses, i have no source.

Does Kurumi get any use out of her "power"? From what I'm seeing it's completely useless except for tits. This is anime so you shouldn't need a magical power for that.

It's getting one very odd, very terrible award from me. The "promises of things to come forcing me to keep with it" award. I freakin hate it when I have to give things that award because it's never worth it, but I can never turn away. Basically, this would've been dropped at ep3 but fanart from a year or so ago depicts stuff that I want to see. Experience tells me the chances of them skipping it entirely are about... 65%.

From the heckling session:
Show "This white glove... I gave it to you for your birthday."
"Why the hell did she give him one white glove?"
very deep voiced guy doing his best Mui impression "Times are tough but next year I promise I'll get you the glue and rhinestones to go with it."

Sadly, the guys don't want to do this one anymore so I won't be enjoying any more heckling. That's going to make it even more painful.

Is it just me or does Kurumi seem more like the main female character rather than Mui now? I mean, Mui is still important to the show but it feels like Kurumi is getting more spotlights and attention each episode including the latest one from spoiler[Takao.]

I'm guessing spoiler[Takao will develop feelings for Kurumi or some sort...and maybe even regain his memories in the future.]

On another note, Mui...you tease.
