Asura Cryin’

Another newbie for this season.
Produced and animated by Seven Arcs, this thing is being directed by Keizou Kusakawa who also committed Inukami and Nanoha. By the looks of it a large part of the previous staffs also hooked along for the ride. For better or worse ...
From what I've learned thus far and saw in the first ep, the story is gonna be 'bout a boring, laid back high schooler, who (due to writing cheats) turns out to be a unique chick magnet. Yey for originality ?
Luckily there is some potential lurking.
First of all, the seemingly No.1 chick seems to be a cosplaying ghost of someone previously dear to the protagonist (some lost memories, accident flashback and other shit kicks in on few occasions through out the first ep). Also, before we know it all sorts of crazy weapon or magic wielding psychos storm his house, seeking to claim a memento (a heavy ass metal suitcase) left by his older brother. Hell - we even get to see 2 small mechs before this week's fun ends.
Further info claims that multi-dimensional shit and destroyed worlds will come into play later on.
This thing has everything but the kitchen sink in it (miko, yakuza, lame-sounding religious organizations and mysterious senpai onee-san included) ...
The art is kinda meh (taking the harem's cuteness level down a notch) but the sound seems solid. I would have preferred the first ep being a bit more serious/violent instead of audience-friendly but it was exciting nonetheless.
Not that I'm overly impressed by this (sends off some major Index/Fate Stay Night vibes BTW) but I'm gonna give it a shot for 2 or 3 episodes. The way I see it, it can either go in the non_serious/harem/stupid protagonist direction (in which case I'm gonna drop it faster that you can say pedobear) or try to put all them story elements together and become a bit more serious. Besides - I know that there are people who like these types of shows more than I do. Time will tell ...

I really liked it. Then again I'm a mecha fan and this looks like a cool show either way. The girls look hot and for now it's good enough for me.

Feels like I've seen the art style somewhere. hmm.. can't remember though.
I'll try to watch this and see if this suits my taste. ^ ^

Hmm...One question.
Anyone subbing it yet?
Only a group by the name AoT thus far. Gave them a shot and since my eyeballs didn't fall out from their sockets while watching, I presume they're acceptable.

Thank you. I'll check it out.

Holy shit, it's awesome!
The art is wonderful, the action is good. Not excellent, but good. There are Mecha. Oh, and the girls are beautiful.
A definite watch for this season.

This show is awesome. The first episode kept me thoroughly entertained and I can't wait for the next episode. After such a great first episode, I now have high expectations for this anime so I hope they don't let me down. 8)

I thought the first episode showed promise.
I tend to be drawn to to light comedy/light drama shows with some action and supernatural stuff so it looks like it's right up my alley.

I'm enjoying it for what it is, but they better start explaining this dark society crap and these machinas, and even the demons. Everything is still shrouded in mystery, even if we know that the characters are connected to the plane crash.
Plus, Angela's doing the OP/ED, so it's totally worth it besides the cute girls.

i really like this anime,but its actually very confusing at times epically with the president of dark society and her twin sister that got me going "wtf?!" and even though in the recent episode they somewhat reveled what happened in the past i don't quiet understand -_- but i'll continue to watch and see how it turns out.

Glad to see ppl took a liking in this even though I've dropped it after ep 4.
If further impressions remain positive I may even consider picking it up again ...
