This show's first episode introduced the five main characters, the mascot, the week's person in peril, and previewed the villains while still managing to feel breezy instead of overstuffed. And, in the end, it was actually about an oden ingredient. Bliss.

So, which one are you guys gonna claim as your husbando?

Yumoto by process of elimination, as Atsushi and En clearly need each other and with Io making the money and Ryu getting the girls they are clearly also a couple.

So, who else had to Wikipedia chikuwabu?

Everything I needed to know about chikuwabu I learned in this episode.

(and I believe one of the Gintama writers is doing the writing here).

Series Composition is by Michiko Yokote, which is a pen name for a group of women who've done everything from Princess Tutu to Patlabor. They're real vets, and seem to have started doing more and more original stuff like this and last season's SHIRO BAKO.

Both the director and writer are perfect for this show, basically.

It's going to be real interesting to see how this show justifies its existence past the first episode. It's really rushed through a lot of the established tropes for magical girl shows already.

They'll do it by being more than just a bunch of tropes over and over, obviously.

No need, I changed my mind after the older brother showed up.

Literally all we've seen him do is chop wood.

I'd also like to see different extended transformation sequences so they all eventually have one, hope it's not just the team captains that get one.

According to the preview next episode is focused on Cerulean, so if there is one we'll see it then.

If I get home and watch this anime and there aren't boys kissing everywhere I'm going to be angry at all of you.

Y'all are fired, a bunch of gay panic jokes doesn't make something actually queer. That was still a good episode tho.

Did anyone get the references in this episode when they were making jokes about old-faced characters?
I didn't get any of them and now I feel like someone's going to confiscate my weaboo card.

Magical boy anime is into manlier shows than you are. Also part of the joke is that they were being super vague, as the way copyrights work in Japan means all anime do stuff like that.

That was a good episode. I expect them to mix up the formula at some point but it was still pretty cool just having a dumb gimmick episode.

I get the sense that no one is watching anymore, which is reasonable considering that all the best stuff was in the first episode anyway. However, if this show can keep up with incredible stuff like he just likes chopping wood and so ticklish, you're playing right into the enemy's strengths! I think I'll stick with this dumb show.

The wrongest post. Maybe if every episode was as good as the last two it would feel done, but not as is.
