THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Though the woman disguise + toilets joke felt unnecessary, the first episode was overall good. Lots of funny thing like the professor 's superstrength under conditions or the simple-minded insectoid invaders joined by the plotting high-school student, a little war and treason plot with a mini-Death Star in the sky and a simple travel adventure story make me more interested than I already was.

The insects queen looking perfectly human (and sexy) was another bad surprise (a king would have been far less human).

4/5


@mozgow In the bed? No, it isn't. Different size, different hairstyle and colour.

It's one of the most intriguing starts to "transferred into fantasy world" setting I've seen. My only complain right now is the animation quality, which is inconsistent. There are some really good parts, and there are some average ones.

Is the girl at the end the one who sent them to El-Hazard?

@Rei366 I know, I realized it while watching episode 2.

I like it so far, somehow it's quite captivating and one of the better isekai settings I've seen.

Overall I like it so far, the ending was a little weird :\ I really liked the little creature Makoto and the teacher saw that made a noise whenever it walked! I also agree with @mozgow that the animation quality was inconsistent sometimes.

Loved it. Better story than self inserting power fantasy trash these days.

I already love the main antagonist. He is comically evil with no stupid redeemable quality which some villains have. I am interested in this OVA from the get go.
