Seems pretty good so far. Similar to GARO but with better CG, but that may be just the first episode.

Coming into this I was wondering if the characters would get human forms or not, but I guess they will. I bet that guy in the fitness magazine at the end will be the form the main guy takes.

I don't mind the boobs, but I'd prefer if they were more equal opportunity with their nudity with maybe some of the guys walking around shirtless or whatever.

I think this series will be fun, but I'm not expecting it to be spectacular.

This... was very CG and fancy cuts filled.

Also, I never get old of that absurdly saying/name. Be it the fake name of Scar in and King Bradly in FMA, or in the ending theme of Joshiraku... I realize that's unrelated to this first very self aware episode it's just one of the things that specifically stood out to me.

Wow I butchered what I mean to say... That ultra long name our heroine was listening to in the bath, I had heard it used before as the 'longest name in Japan' but also as an actual phrase/story. It was used once in an Omake of Full Metal Alchemist as Scar's and King Bradly's real names leading to hilarity, but also used in the ending theme of the old fashion Japanese comedy themed anime Joshiroku. in Joshiroku it was not simply someone's name but it also told some sort of story.

It seems kind of weird for such a young girl to be interested in such an old thing like rakugo, but it seems like she was raised by her grandmother.

OP and ED themes are uncool.

Not sure if the 4th wall breaking MC will work. At least she provides service.

Looking forward to the explanation about who the Hikari and Kageribito are. Aliens? Gods? Evolved Humans?

The whole? there are 1000 coming and you can just beat 200 was lame. At least Gou will form his Sentai.

Are the ones on Earth Hikari or Kage?

I really like the over the top action and the half techy hald eastern fantasy design.

Also looking forward to see the other heroes and how the interact while in human form.

Terrible first episode. Slow pacing, bland characters, gratuitious breasts.

Will not be watching future episodes.
