Impressions:

Before I go into how much the episode sucked, let me just say that my new favourite character is the blonde girl who was flying in the first episode, wearing some old fashioned gown. The main reason is because despite the very, very, VERY HUGE drop in quality from the first episode, she managed to stay cute and not too deformed. Her name is Risu, though the fansub I watched, Your Mom, obviously translated it wrong as they named her Wreath! Yes, they suck at subbing but at least they’re fast (though it isn’t that much of a consolation). Her full name though, is Riisuritto Noeru (from the official website). I’ve never heard of that before, but then again, I have never heard of Feena before either. So far, she’s appeared quite a few times and no one’s recognised her. It seems like she came from the moon, but her role in the story has yet to be revealed. She doesn’t seem evil either, with her childlikeness. She also seems to know Feena, but then again, who doesn’t? She IS the princess of the moon. Now, on to one and a half paragraph’s worth of prolonged ranting and belittling the series.

That was crap. Seriously. It seems like too much money was spent on the first episode so the second one really stunk. The quality was so crap. The producers even neglected to put a few extra people on the streets outside. The facial animation was all over the place, very inconsistent and simple as well (lack of shading etc). At least Feena blushed more than the average princess in 20 minutes, but even those were shown by a few scrappy looking red lines. Disappointing…and the show started off well too. With such a good start, I didn’t think the quality would bomb this bad. I can’t think of anything good about the episode…>=( Veryyy bad…if this wasn’t a single season series I would be considering dropping it now. The next episode better be much better than this episode.

Wow, that was something. I am very impressed by the first episode. It was funny, interesting and enjoyable – a great watch for anyone who just wants to see some harem fun, and indeed, the lead sure does have a big one. How many girls were introduced just this episode? Each of them are already friendly with Tatsuya, and he is definitely not your average, wimpy harem lead. He might be a tiny bit clueless as to the girls around him, but that will change surely. The animation was good and the character design great. Right now, I don’t really care who Tatsuya ends up with (if he does get it on with one of them) as all their personalities seem good so far, although I’d say it will either be Feena (of course) or Natsuki (the childhood friend). Judging from other harems, Natsuki is likely to stay as the childhood friend while Feena probably returns to the moon without properly getting together with Tatsuya. That would leave room for a sequel. Lol I’m already hoping for a sequel from the first episode of the series, though 12 episodes is a bit short. As a sidenote, the OP and ED are far too slow for my liking.
