Natsu no Arashi
I just watched the first episode on Crunchyroll and I was a little confused on what was going on. The episode didn't really impress me but I'll probably watch the next episode to see if it's a little better. [EDIT: Added the Encyc. entry and fixed your tacky paragraph breaks. -TK] |

That was interesting. spoiler[Kids with the ability to time travel, and they use it to play pranks and obtain strawberry shortcake. I approve.]
The character designs seem a little weird, although I can't quite put my finger on it. The animation style isn't quite full-fledged SHAFT madness, but was that a SZS I'm in despair reference I saw in the middle of the episode? Also, what was the thing on the weather vain? |

That thing was a yukkuri. It's a long story, but it's basically a 2ch ascii art meme based off characters from Touhou. In specific, it was a yukkuri reimu. Anyway, don't sweat it. Take it easy... |

If Dorcas_Aurelia spoiler comment didn't sell me anything having to do with Touhou did!
Off to check this out. |

Definitely, the hallmark of all compulsive neurotics 
It's really a weird show, but not in a bad way. Few days ago I started rereading Stanislaw Lem's The Star Diaries, gigling over The Seventh Voyage, and that time thing - it was in the episode (and was done right, by the way) 
... I kind of got the feeling I was watching the strangest mahou shoujo ever, but I'll keep up with the series. Everything aired for the season was close to "facepalms" so far. |

Loved it. It was quirky, spoiler[the time travel] caught me by surprise in a good way, and it had enough humor in its cliches to work.
The OP hints at fanservice. I really hope they stay hints. After watching it, I did a search, found out it's from a manga and read some plot spoilers. Wish I hadn't, 'because surprises are fun in this show! Notes: Where did Hajime get Luffy's hat?
The ED: First, I was impressed by the Ipod commercial visuals, then I realized that those visuals wouldn't change. Focusing on one character during the whole song is boring. Anyone know how many episodes there are? |

Thanks to you, I had to go and reread the damn thing 
But yeah, this is precisely why I think the show has much potential - you can take a few minutes, some single event and turn it into an episode, or five, or ten, without any loss in quality if done properly. Time travel rocks

According to teh googleness, 13.
Well, it seems the only show I can't, I repeat :], I can't guess what they are going to bring in the next episode. The more I think about it, more other references to other anime series come to mind. spoiler[The gravitaional loops provided by the nee-sans by changing from a maid outfit into the freaking school uniform], just stunned me. What was that - a silent sarcasm as in Chobits? And those pointed eyes designs as in MKR ?
If so, the humor is a little far fetched, but at least is a teaser

To know more about the series, it may help to read the manga as well. Currently there are five volumes to my recollection that are out right now. I'm looking forward to this series, seeing how its written by Jin Kobayashi, author of School Rumble. |

Bizarre first episode. Nothing made sense but was still entertaining anyway. I have a feeling we'll see some explanations into everyone's abilities come out in future episodes.
And is it just me or is this show emphasizing a lot on navel fanservice?

While the first episode didn't impress me, i have big hopes in this anime, as its made by manga of Jin Kobayashi - that made School Rumble: so unless he sudenly lost all of his talent - this show HAS to be good!

Just watch episode 2; it seems like there will be a bit more story to this. I'm still not entirely clear on whether it's worth watching or not. The art continues to be weird, and more of then that not, in a bad way.

Hey this is from that School Rumble dude. ..I think.
Is the main character as likeable as Harima is? Harima is practically the only reason I watched School Rumble to begin with. |
