First half is the first chapter of the manga while the second covers to a point the fight that has been shown in the PVs. OP is alright.

Huh, OP is sung by the lady who sang the original PreCure OP. Though it reminds me of something else...but I can't place it...

Also, I think I played this game once.

I'm tired but did I just see Aria do a Starscream to Cecila's Megatron and transform into a weapon for her in the OP?

Yes, yes you did. Though a better comparison is probably Soul Eater.

Also, I think I'll call this Atelier Cecily from now on.

And I figured out what was bugging me about the OP, the beginning is TOTALLY a Gundam parody! She's even doing a launch sequence, and the opening chords remind me of a Seed-era Gundam song.

It's clear that the series is still in the set up phase given the way it ended. Even so I found the first episode to be good enough for me to consider watching the next episode.

Lisa is definitely cute and looks like she could be valuable. However what matters most to me is Cecily. She interests and she's quite hot in her armor. Thus I have a good reason to try out a bit more.

[TheGreenMan]

Lisa is my favorite character so far, she's just so cute, especially in the ED.

Well, that's a interesting way to forge swords. Didn't expect that. I though Lisa would be Luke's supersword or something.

[Fencedude]

Hah, that was lots of fun. Cecily's pretty awesome (even if she sucks) and Luke is actually cool. Lisa's absolutely adorable as well.

Love the ending theme.

Episode 1:

- Ah I like Cecily already. Also, her breast plate is unusually form fitting around her boobs... Fujimura Ayumi isn't a seiyuu who has any real obvious stand-out major roles for me (although she was Kyouka in Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, lol) so it'll be nice to see how she does here. I did like Cecily's voice immediately though. (And oh jeeze, Luke's seiyuu is going to be Fonfon...)
- ...really really form fitting. lol. It's so strange.
- Heh and she has no fighting experience whatsoever.
- Well, you sword was pretty ghetto looking, Cecily. You need an upgrade anyway.
- OH GOD YES! Toyosaki Aki as a super cute little elf[?] girl! PERFECT CASTING!
- Hmm I'm kinda hoping it's Lisa that is the blacksmith. Her name being on the building gives me hope. But then she's clearly going to be secondary to Luke and Cecily so I guess the show name wouldn't be a reference to her...
- Cecily is fantastic, Lisa is fantastic, and if Luke doesn't turn out to be too much of a douchebag this show is going into the lead as best Fall series to this point. Although I have Railgun next, which will probably outdo it.
- Cecily saves Luke with her breasts!
- Huh, so, like, Luke is the blacksmith of course but Lisa is like his portable magical forge summoner. Neat.

And it's a Lisa ED! YES!!

Definitely the best Fall show so far, by a good margin.

I kept waiting to see it, ahem, bounce.

Entertaining enough, and the on-the-spot forging brought my interest up. Doesn't beat Railgun for me, but then, nothing this season even looks close to it.
