Checked out the first episode, didn't even get through it all...
I was bored before it even hit halfway and really don't like the visual style of it. I feel like I should give it more of a chance but so far it's just meh. |

Enjoying this show so far for its mix of odd comedy and random boob shots. The main character Hitomi is cute and got nice legs despite her skinny frame. I will keep watching but let's face it, storywise it sucks compare to GARO.

This one had some really fun moments, the butterflies, the rice scene, and generally speaking any time they goofed around, like in the ed.
And that's the thing, if this were a slice of life toku, it would be great! The humor is good, the idea of these strange creatures adapting to human life is solid, and the cast has potential. But it's not, and it's attempts to create a stroy are terrible, the scenes with the businessman and the secretary(?) are a pain to sit through, and so far the story is not engaging at all. I'll continue to enjoy the slice of life side inmensely, but the other parts simply fall apart. |

So I just watched episode 04. The action is really well done, and visually splendid, but it is tacked on to the end of a 19 minute slog of randomness that isn't funny in the slightest. About the only thing that made me smile, aside from the fight, was the GARO reference.
Still I kinda wanna stick around to see the team form, because I'm hoping then the slice of life non comedy will be completely cut back for greater quantities of action. And if this show focused on the action in the future, I think it could become its own version of a masterpiece.

The slice of life stuff is odd but amusing and I enjoy the liberties this show is taking with its fourth wall. The fight scenes are visually very impressive and I love the crazy Amemiya visuals. The show's not perfect, by any means, and I have no idea how long it will keep charming me like this, but for now I think it's shaping up to be my favorite show of 2013. |

Yeah.
But that's good, means that there are plenty of things for different people to enjoy. |

The only reason I am still watching it is because all of my friends love it and I don't know why. The show has no purpose, no plot, and is just trying to be random for the sake of being random. There has been no character development at all outside of the girl (whose name I don't even remember) cannot see monsters while on her period. When that is the biggest development you have had so far, you know your shot has gone to the toilet. At least it is better than Garo S3... BTW, Gaim is more slice of life than this!! |

() I don't get why you hate the show so much man, I think it's been pretty decent so far. Not quite as good as the first season, but still better than Makai Senki.

Honestly the show is doing very little for me either so far other than the pretty visuals. I have episodes 3 and 4 to watch this weekend but if I don't get any more after it out of that than I can see me dropping it.
I'm glad there are people out there enjoying it though, those designs are too sweet to be wasted on a show no one likes.
