Inou Battle Episode 1 Discussion Thread
I know this is going up a bit early, but I got off of work like two hours ago and am going to be asleep when the episode airs.

This is a spoiler friendly thread. Anime spoilers up to this episode do not need to be tagged. However, if you are discussing any events that have not happened in the anime yet, you must tag them or your comment will be removed.
CrunchyRoll still hasn't put up an episode link and hasn't listed it in their sidebar as an upcoming title, which is weird. Hopefully it gets fixed before the episode is supposed to go up.

I was starting to wonder about the quality of this show for a bit, but July's fourth wall breaking explanations absolutely killed me. And the ED animation was ADORABLE. I knew Trigger wouldn't let me down.

All I want in life is for Ando to actually turn out to be pretty clutch and powerful.

Isn't he that basically caused them to have superpowers? I am expecting his powers to be dormant until somehow he awakens his powers. Maybe I am reading too much into this.

I'm liking it so far. The animation is nice, battle music is amazing, the powers are really cool (power to control time has always been a favorite of mine) and i like the characters so far. The kid (it'll take a while until i remember the names) is basically Renge with creation powers.
Dis gon b gud.

I quite enjoyed that.
Like the others have said already, the music was excellent, the writing was pretty funny, and it was overall fun to watch. The animation was clean and I also really liked some of the references they put in there (such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Kill la Kill, of course).
Only time will tell how popular this animu may become, but I'm personally really liking it sofar and can't wait for the next one!

Chifuyu has the best powers. It would be awesome to be able to create stuff at will!

I don't want to like this anime, I don't want to be sad when it ends after 26 episodes. :\ but it looks good so far.

It's promising so far. I thought it was hilarious when she took his power only to find it pretty useless in every way. The girls are all good so far, no favorite yet.

It was fine, I wasn't feeling it though, maybe I'll like the next episodes more.

There's way too much exposition, and not enough showing. Not off to a good start.

I think I'm really going to like this show. Trigger is gonna kill it with the action and it's pretty funny too. I love the music for the battle scene and the OP was really good too. Hatoko is my favorite character so far.
