Woah. I knew what he was talking about and I wasn't trying to equate homage to butts. This show revolves almost completely around taking themes from other genres, popularized archetypes and cliches. You can pretty much well expect a show like that to want to use fanservice as appeal, especially considering both the mahou shoujo and mecha genres are well-known for fanservice. Sure it isn't something that's required in an anime, and of course many people have an aversion to shows with gratuitous fanservice. But if you're going to veto an anime just by how many tits it throws at you then it would be silly to start watching knowing it has at least some and then complain about it later.

That being said, I'd say there's more than your average anime, but most of it is pushed into details rather than being the central point of a given scene. The latter is something that really bugs me and shows that the studio can't really pull it off. The former at least acknowledges that the anime comes first and any fanservice comes after, so not only is the fanservice done in a subdued manner, it shows that the studio respects their own project. In general. We haven't had a scene where it's like a minute of a bug crawling into underwear or flopping boobs being able to outspeed bullets yet.

Well, I'm one episode in and my fears have been somewhat allayed; the certain excesses I were concerned about aren't as severe as I expected. REALLY loving the "high-tech magical girl" design style, and hoping this goes in the same direction as Nanoha did.

But there's not much material for that! Unless we get something like Twin VividBlue or something.

Spoiler:
this episode felt rushed. Mostly cause a lot happened. Akane's fighting ability was sorta foreshadowed by her absurd throwing accuracy though, so not gonna dispute that.
also special EDs for each girl yesss

Yeah, very rushed. Series must be only 12 episodes or something. That's not really enough time to do a typical magical girl show.

Yeah, the fact that it seemed kind of rushed is my only real complaint here.  However...

Also, leading on from that emote:

It is so amazing that we don't need to shop anything about this series, isn't it?

It's either a 12 episoder or they're rushing the full party, which I don't particularly mind.

so first she's in her room being all like "yeah i'm a hikikomori and I hate everyone"
probably hasn't left the house in months
then akane comes around and says "hi manifestor engine p cool i'll protect you"
and now she's totally fine again and goes to school on the next day
the power of friendship is truly astounding.

Himawari was... Cute, I guess?  She was okay for a moeblob, I suppose.  Wakaba is still the best, because samurai.

...And looks like next week's going to focus on Homurei.  Yay~

Stuffman predicts the series

Ep 5: school life episode, details on bow girl
Ep 6: beach episode
Ep 7: confrontation with bow girl, details on alones
Ep 8: hot springs episode
Ep 9: bow girl finally joins
Ep 10: SHIT GETS REAL
EP 11: SHIT CONTINUES BEING REAL
Ep 12: Akane becomes god

In the event that the series goes grimdark, Akane dies and Momo takes her place (or maybe Momo will just be chibi moon w/e)

My prediction is that Momo will join. We have the red, green, blue and yellow rangers already. Homu will be black. Only pink is left.

No no. It's the power of UNDERSTANDING (via docking instead of GN particles, but.)
also rei has a gun lol
