Episode 1
Episode one is pretty good. I really liked how they set up the family dynamic right away. Kai's the over zealous and adventurous youngster, Houka is the typical young woman whose fairly lazy, Tsubasa is a bit of a cynic who comes off as slightly jerky/stuck up, Urara is the caring one, Makito the older caring son, and Miyuki the doting mother. They set that all up in good fashion for the first episode IMO.

I really got a kick of Kai throwing the soccer ball at the troll. Just the thought of somebody doing that is pretty funny.

I thought the way they were given their powers was kinda sudden. Like "Oh yeah I'm magic here's some new clothes and a phone. Go fight kids and be back by dinner!" I don't know, seemed a little to quick for me. I do agree with her thought process with Kai though. After all, he is in high school and does come off as being quite reckless, so obviously it makes sense for her not to be ready to let him fight, let alone give him magical powers.

Also, I'm not the biggest fan of the henshin call. I actually think Mystic Force's was better. And while I'm on the subject of calls, how did they know their elements right away and come up with their roll call? Or for that matter, know how to use magic? Seriously, how the hell did they know all of that right out of the gate?

Those gripes aside, I liked the first fight. Well done. Only other thing I have to say on that is, Wolzord is a bad ass.

All in all, it was a really good episode. Definitely has me wanting to watch the next one.
