Schoolchildren fly with magical shoes and play games together.

I don’t know, I’m torn. My instincts are screaming I should drop this immediately. It does feature a girl who moves in next door who the boy peeks at changing through the window. But it seems like that became old so long ago that now it’s new again? When is the last time we saw an anime with that scene…

But somehow, I actually liked this episode. I think it’s because, despite the rather generic appearance and subject matter, the characters have a lot of personality. I especially enjoyed the main girl. Yes, she’s the common clumsy type, but she seems to have some hidden abilities and to be at least passionate and and motivated, not just a complete idiot.

I also like the sleepy girl… who also has a multi-faceted personality.

Even the lesbian girl has more to her character than that, as she’s really into video games.

Definitely not the best show of the season, probably going to end up a disaster, but it’s at least worth checking out the second episode.
