The Asterisk War: The Academy City on the Water (TV) Genres: Action, Comedy, Ecchi, Fantasy, Romance, School, Sci-Fi, Harem, Supernatural Themes: Battle Academy, Swordsmanship, Magic, Power Plot Summary: The Academy City on the water, Rikka (otherwise known as Asterisk) is the world's largest stage for the integrated battle entertainment, "Star Wars Festival." The young boys and girls of the "Starpulse Generation" belonging to the six academies made their wishes with Shining Armaments in their hands, vying for supremacy—Amagiri Ayato is one of them. Ayato arrived at Rikka at the invitation of the Student Council President of the Seidoukan Academy, Claudia, and right after that he incurred the wrath of the "Petalblaze Witch" Julis, and ended up having to duel her. The greatest academy battle entertainment, begins here! ---------------------------------- This reminds me of Absolute Duo somewhat. It's a battle academy setting series with a fusion of various themes that includes sci-fi and magic. Not a fan of the character designs so far but the battle sequences looks alright. |

Episode 1
Very generic start so far as expected. From what I saw, we will probably get a ton of battles considering the show is already confirmed for split cour of total with 24 episodes. And anyways, the action was probably the best part of the episode. Everything else was generic and the episode had more exposition than I had expected. I wonder when we will get the intro of the other main girls though. |

Episode 1
Some action, looks pretty all around. Most characters seem very uninteresting so far (though I specially like "exposition-giver-convenient-roommate", very gimmicky), but Christ were the harem/fanservice aspects annoying. |

Gotta love dem light saber sound effects
You have to give Julis some credit: she has the decency to actually show some gratitude. Any other tsundere would refuse to admit that much. |

yeah, that bit was nice. always nice to see more than just a stereotypical tsundere. The fight looked cool, A-1 care about his show, nice as well. So I'm on board for now

Hmm... that was ok. The action seemed pretty nice. Characters were lame: The generic chaste male lead, the fiery tsundere and the refined lady character. The only character that seemed interesting was the male lead's roommate. The world seems interesting with the duels and all. I'm looking forward to more fight scenes.

episode one
I'm kind of thinking our MC isn't the brightest guy. Who leaps in to a random window and is then surprised that someone is in a state of undress within? Also, if that handkerchief is so important, why doesn't Julis take more care of it? I guess the a lot of the cast is a bit challenged in the thinking ahead department. I really like Claudia for some reason. I'm coming to the conclusion I have a soft spot for troll characters. The action sequences are fun so far, too, despite the combatant's apparent lack of wits, so this might be fun as a spectacle.
Yeah, my first thought when I heard one was "downpitched light saber". I like it though. |

Looks like my initial impression of it being similar to Regios was right on the bat. There's much more of a "harem-esque" feel to it than Regios, and no teams (at least so far), but it definitely feels like Regios. I'm liking it so far.

I love me some generic shows every once in a while, this one might scratch that itch.

So the seat on the other side of the main character is also empty, which means that we are likely getting some other girl show up there, which shows that this is probably a harem.
Not too fussed over the episode. I like Claudia, that hug thing was a little weird, but everything else she did seemed fun. Decided to watch the episode after the Cavalry one, and wow these shows are kind of similar. |

Can there be an doubt about which pair of teenagers is going to be hooked up sooner or later? On the subject of "generic" anime: I always find it so lazy to stipulate an cataclysmic/natural disaster apocalypse in the prelude to the story which turns out to be totally irrelevant. The setting could just as well have been a "future where the politics have changed." Nobody is hung up on the past and the city-island (why does it have to be an island?) is fully unblemished. I'll probably end up watching this to the end but I don't expect any surprises. |

I could only cringe at the obvious cliche of a guy walking in on an obvious hot looking girl in her underwear. However the student president and the main character's newspaper club friend were pretty much the highlights for me, which is pretty sad. The battles were interesting, but at least I know not to hold high expectations here. However I'll be trying to watch this through to the end, not extremely terrible but not something I feel my time is being wasted with.
