You can say that again.

Yeah, I'll be following a lot of new summer anime this year. This one included.

Is it just me, or does the format of the opening scene remotely remind anybody else of Elfen Lied? As in:

Violent action-packed opening scene

to

Generic harem protagonist meets cute but mysterious girl with heavy lashings of fanservice

...there should be a trope for that.

"Blood to babes"?

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome?

I'm gonna follow this.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome happens during the course of a series, but this happens right at the start of it.

Uh.

Flash Freeze Reverse Cerebus Syndrome?

On that note: Was anyone else getting the "This is going to end up as a bloody depressing mess" vibes from the first episode? I was getting it the entire time i watched...

Sort of felt like someone came up with the premise and characters for a generic harem anime, and then gave the writing duties to someone that dislikes harem series.

"This is going to end up as a bloody EPIC mess"

^^Fixed.

I want to say we've got something like Misleading First Episode or something.

Non-Indicative First Episode

That's the one.

What did I just see?

No, really; I have no idea where this is going...

And why did our bespectacled hero keep glancing at her boobs? I think there were more interesting stuff to notice. LIKE THE NEKOMIMI ALIEN IN FRONT OF HIM.

If shit ends up hittibg the fan, I'm in. I'm all for brutally violating deconstructing the Unwanted Harem trope.

For most horny male teenagers boobs>ears. Unless those ears have boobs. Well, there's other parts, but this isn't that kind of show.

I'd like to know why the Unlucky Childhood Friend has such big ones, honestly, It looks unnatural, especially the way they move. Boobs do not move like that.

I didn't notice anything. I do think the way both of his female acquaintances noticed that first was hilarious. And as I mentioned in the other thread, if this ends as a generic harem anime, I'm going on a murderizing spree that may burn down half of a country.

science fiction kitty girls with good looking animation? oh count me in.

Watched episode 1. I agree that there's got to be something coming up, but I'm still not sure if we can say it's gonna go all Elfen Lied just yet. It still seems a little too sweet for that. Maybe if Ark had really shot that guy as they were driving, I'd be more inclined to believe it.

Yeah, I think it's going be resolved into some kid of meaningless alien cuddle situation.

But I stick to it in the hope of violence.

On another note, Am i the only one to really dislike hte Main Characters design? He looks so... puny, seriously, the guy must weigh like 45 kilos, there's nothing too him.

Take off the glasses and the situation is corrected somewhat. With 'em on, he looks downright puny.

And he's probably the biggest lightweight in existence. He knocked himself Out with one sip of beer. One of the Weakest alcoholic drinks of them all.

I like the redhead friend though.

I was expecting a tsundere, but we got a Chilvarous Pervert similar to Jiraiya without the peeping.

Is there a Trope page? Well, I guess not then.
