This looks like a cool series, hopefully the first episode will be good.
First episode released by a group called T2, hopefully English subbed:

Not much info on the series yet, all I know it's based on a light novel series by Yamato Takahiro. It's animated by GONZO.
Yea, the subs are english. Just checked the OP now, I'll watch the rest later.
Edit: Uh, Shakugan no Shana flashbacks, female lead has red hair and a flame sword also but atleast she's not a loli. Yagami isn't as useless and annoying as Yuuji. Anyways, I wasn't expecting much but after watching it, it's pretty good. Gonna be looking forward to more episodes.

Looks like Shinsen-subs decided to sub this series as well:

I hope Shinsen doesn't overextend themselves. They have a history of not being the fastest subbers, and they have so many new series in the works. Good thing is, that the series they're doing a couple other groups are doing as well so it won't be as bad if they get overworked (or whatever) and drop a couple series from their Active list.
Just finished watching the first ep and its not that bad so far. Worthy of future viewing.
pretty good... I read the first post and thought it said that Yagami is as annoying as Yuuji... i was pleasantly surprised...
Well, that ep confirmed what I feared in a way, although the pace is still alright with me.

Edit: I'm such an air head, forgot some other points:
They tend to do quite a lot of scene recycling. I hate this...
I dislike the "Enraiah" scene, as it is always the same, and with no real interrest.
The contractor one will also soon get on my nerves... I guess that's why I do not
like "mecha" like anime... that reminds me too much of Goldorak or Bioman, and
the silly "I'm transforming" scenes.

Well, not all mecha have repetitive transforming scenes, though I do get what you mean. I hope this show goes into a more serious arc soon, and one that exposes more about Kazuma's past.
Peace.
The Enraiha scene is starting to wear on me as well, every time I see it I think of the Impulse Combination Sequence from GS Destiny.
But Kazuma just gets better and better.
"Don't blame me for kicking so much ass. Well, maybe you just suck."
While I plan to archive AniYoshi's version, I got bored of waiting and watched 15 and 16 from Shinsen.
Episode 16 - Shinsen
Ayano's dad is seriously trying to make them a husband and a wife, not just friends. No doubt of it after this episode. None at all. In fact, it looks like he would want little Ayanos and Kazumas as well as soon as possible...
It's also pretty clear now that Kazuma is in fact highly similar to his father. Only he didn't live some crucial years of his life under a strict discipline at the clan premises, and thus the same personality in him shows in a bit different way. But they surely are similar under the surface.
Heh. I had to pause the video and jump back a little to see if he really said that. He surely is pretty high on the kickass scale of all anime characters, no doubt.Originally Posted by Yukimura
not as good as i thought it'd be... the whole ep was more of a joke ep than anything else. i want a true rematch!
Finally caught up, so I can start posting in this thread too. And yes, the line from 15 above was beyond awesome, as were the times in 16 when Genma was talking trash with his "I can kick your @$$ anytime I like, but..."
And I don't think I've been this disappointed to be caught up since Kenichi. Need more eps!
Ahhah! Kazuma and Ayano's antics continue:
Episode 17 - Shinsen
It's a good thing Shinsen is subbing this as well as AniYoshi's vacation shows no signs of ending.
For some reason this particular instance of a bunch of girls beating up a peeping tom just struck me as a lot more wrong than usual. Maybe it was just because he seemed so amazingly pathetic, but seriously..they broke his camera, knocked him to the ground and kicked him in the head repeatedly, and then beat him with a baseball bat...and they all seemed to feel completely righteous for doing it.
Anyway, more Nanase and Tachibana was nice, but there wasn't enough Kazuma x Ayano banter to quench my thirst. And the preview seemed to totally ignore the woman who actually made Kazuma actually stop in his tracks...I'm very curious about her now too.
I know what you mean. I wonder if that beating scene was meant to have a more light atmosphere of girls harmlessly slapping a dude, but with the baseball club and everything it took a turn that made it feel more like one of those scenes where mafia is beating the shit out of somebody. Still, the guy was so creepy and pitiful that I didn't mind. He had it coming.
I also agree on the lack of Kazuma - Ayano interaction: This series just doesn't feel itself without it. But on the other hand, we had the indirect kiss Ayano purposefully did. It's not like she's usually at all honest with her own feelings.
Much too early to say anything about the mystery girl yet. But perhaps she's someone from the times when Kazuma had just run away from the fire clan. It would make sense that whoever helped (other otherwise interacted with) him back then could have had the greatest impact as he probably didn't have such a thick skin yet.
Bolded for emphasis, as I felt exactly the same way. I mean, yeah, he was a sick pervert, and he very well should have been expelled and arrested (cameras in the locker room?!). But the beating made those girls lose the moral authority IMO. If he had stolen one of their bras, would they have cut off his hands?
I don't know why, but I got the feeling that something deeper than what we saw there is happening, like we were only seeing it through Kazuma's eyes. It reminded me of X-2 with that little girl. I'll have to watch it again; I usually only comment about stuff after seeing it a couple of times.
Yes he had something coming, but there's got to be a line somewhere for the vigilante punishment of creepy stalkers...and I put baseball bats on the other side of said line.
It's funny because whilst I usually don't believe in vigilante justice, I sometimes wonder if schools treat harassment of any kind as seriously as they should. I can understand why the girls were irked at a 3 day suspension for someone who had stalked and harassed them and placed cameras in their changing room………
Not to mention the possible shame of having said photo’s become public by the time the school decided to intervene. The bat was a too much, but he deserved his beating……....
Looks like AniYoshi got back from their vacation and released episode 15. I hope they will soon catch up so that I won't need to dowload all the future episodes two times...
Episode 15 - AniYoshi
