What an eventful first ep. We can summary and conclude a few thing about the storyline?
The world is filled with monster, human gather in special cities, military academies compete in Inter-city tournament to get fame and budget. Our Protagonist, Leifon is actually quite famous. The beginning was actually a flashback of Leifon in the past, and he wields a weapon listed as Heaven-Blade, a group of uber strong weapons. The white haired guy at the beginning might be the student council president. The president may be the one gave the order for 2 new students to fight, and even make the blue haired guy leave 17th platoon, all were setup to put Leifon in? Something happened in the past between Nina and the bald guy. I'm 80% sure he will turn from enemy to be ally later on. And i see canons. Love-square for Leifon, romance between Nina and Harley, the hat guy? Really? I thought it was very fatasy-ish, i like the feeling it gave of exploring a whole new fantasy world. |

Ep. 1
Well now, that was boring, not that I was expecting much anyway judging from what I've read from the manga. At least there's still the ongoing Soul Eater and Shikabane Hime (no idea if it retained its atmosphere for the second season though) for good old shounen fun. |

Its definately refreshing to have a main character who I hope wont be a complete wimp and get beaten senseless or just not fight. Almost every anime I started watching last season for action I dropped because the main characters were terribly weak ... winning by luck the entire series does not make for a good anime.

So I'm not really sure what is happening.
So let me get this straight. The main character is this super strong ninja leet wowzor one shot pwning monster killing genius. He belonged to a group of other leet geniuses and he was actually in training to improve his skills more. But somewhere along the lines or as time passes by, he wanted a change. He wanted a new beginning or new life so he went to this school as a normal "general" student. So a girl kissed him before he left to school and another girl is falling for him and he was recruited by a girl to be in their platoon, and another girl that is loli asked his helped. So the harem potential is also through the roof. Did I get everything right? |

Spoiler for Setting Etc. May spoil badly:
I wonder if I should write notes on the ep... This ep is hard to understand without reading the book. |

Oh please Please very big Please don't go down in flames like Prism Ark. Since that giant fiasco I'm more hesitant about picking up new stuff.
Impressions so far the first episode seems to work for me in some way. The character designs are very nice by far the best looking so far this season. That and as long as it doesn't get super emo I'm ok with it. Here's hoping that we have a male lead that actually man's up and has a pair. I'm sick of the pathetic I don't want to fight pussies and spineless tools. |

Which childhood friend? I read the novels but cant seem to remember there's any disappearance of a childhood friend. Maybe anidb got it wrong somehow... Watched the first episode. I don't know what the show's trying to do by messing with the timeline and packing so much information into the first episode. Some of the scenes would be better suited if revealed later IMO. Anyway, has to watch a few more eps to see how this would turn out. But seeing Ikeda Mamiko's name in the staff credits doesn't really get my hopes up.
