| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I think the first episode was so-so. We got the introduction of the main character with some narrating and even some backgrond storytelling. Not really sold on the comedy and there's even some fan service. For most parts, it felt kinda blend tbh so I'm not having high hopes for this yet. There's also some magical stuff going on but I'm not impressed on that either. I hope it improves. |

| Looks somewhat interesting but it needs more explanation. Besides that the main is a bit the hectic in her behaviour she was all over the place. Seeing her running around like that was funny tho. |
| Any simulcast for this series? For english speaking country |

| This was a decent first episode. Hazuki sure does likes to read books, ever since her mother read to her. She got transported into another world and was chased around naked by Yumilia. That was amusing. |
 |
| Cute girls doing cute things, this time with magic. And fanservice, lot of fanservice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Im curious how they will handle her "real" life stuff, now when she is in this "magical" world or something. Also i have mahou-shoujo vibes here. |
 |
| Isekai :) Hazuki is timid but she's a cutie and can run, time for a new life with magic. |
 |
| This is the most ridiculous way to set up a Generic anime lmao, a girl without personality that because "reasons" enters on a magic world and because fanservice demands it, ends naked while being chased around the school for no apparent reason. |

| Oh god, this episode was weird. Everything just happened with no clear explanation. I can't understand why would the principal (?) take her clothes. Wasn't that great of a first episode, but I actually kinda enjoyed it. |
 |
| This has potential, our MC is really cute. |
| it was fun, just if now that she's gotten her original magic>< she would.... grow tentacles:D it would have gotten a lot more fun. |
| Oh look narration + dialogue. Nice |
| An interesting take on the Isekai genre since it seems she'll be able to travel back and forth between worlds. And it really nails how introverted she is with her apologizing for no reason and stumbling over words taking forever to say stuff. I have friends like this and sometimes want to kill them for it, so I'll have to see if I can fully like this mc. |
| Strong opening for Maerchen Maedchen. The character design is ADORABLE AS HECK (From the artist that drew for Imouto sae Ireba), the concept of story worlds is interesting, and the world-building is on point. I crave for more of this anime. I demand the next episode now. |
 |
| as bland and bad as slow start dropped |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| I really don't know what to think of this. Part of me wants to call it bland, trite and unimpressive, but I can't deny I was entertained enough to get interested in what happens next.. Really not a fan of the writing. I'll keep watching, but I hope it gets better. |
 |
| May the power of censorship protect you. I liked it but still just alright, I expected to go for the quick drop but it somewhat did a good job introducing Hazuki's character, I will watch 1-2 more episodes and decide. |
 |
| decent 1st episode. |
| The Anime Binge Is Life -PolarCyrus97 2k17- |
| Kinda meh to begin with. I'm as clueless as our main girl as to what's going on at the moment. I will keep watching to see what happens next and to learn about what's happening. |

| Looks promising, but the fanservice is all over the place here, mahou shoujos and fanservices are not a good blend. Hope Mädchen proves me wrong. |

| I was looking forward to this, but this episode dashed all of my hopes. By the time the opening came around, I already knew I was in for a disappointment. That opening basically tells you what this show is going to be like. |

| The whole time I was watching this, I wondered which bland cliche they'd bring up next. I'll admit I had no hopes at all going into this, and I was right in doing so. Such a generic fanservice-filled episode. The animation was lazy, flashbacks to things that happened only minutes ago, the opening literally being parts of the episode... And the whole time just being utterly cringy. Like watching something one of my weeby friends back in middle school might have written up and then self inserted themselves into. Dropped |

| That was a lot more lewd than I expected especially scenes in the end credits. I thought it was cute. Cute girls doing cute things (maybe even each other lol) and blowing stuff up. Let's see where it goes |
| Holy shit. That was terrible introduction. Instant dropped |
| Rance X is A GOAT. |
| I have read the LN so I find it a bit disappointing but hey probably their funding wasn't enough lol even the opening is pretty worse as it got many repeated shots. I hope it goes okay but doesn't think I will give some good expectation of it. It could be a decent anime but surprisingly Japan studios seem to like to fuck up and give out shit quality animation makes ppl wanna to drop it instead of putting more effort and investment on it to make it more popular so that later on your have more fund to make an even better anime |

| Like many of the previous posters I found this to be pretty disappointing. On one hand I liked the mystery aspect of it... I always like a slow reveal. We heard this from some of the characters ("well that means....", etc.). But the payoff so far just isn't too interesting -- I see that they're in a magic land but it just not magical enough. Looks like it's going to be pretty bland. Hoping I'm wrong. |
| As with some other anime this season, started off kinda slow. However, I really relate to Hazuki. So that was a really strong point. Random nudeness doesn't bother me at all, I'm not a prude. Story did hook me at least. |
 |
| interesting though im sure itll be just another generic cute girls doing cute things with some magic added |
| Isekai with female protag. WHY IS THIS NOT A THING. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| im sure people who love fanservice would have a time of their life with this anime like Ecchikingmamster. When opening shows about 10 fanservice shots you never what you are going into :D But seriously i didnt understand the first 10 minutes that much, it felt like random scenes thrown together??? no one else felt that it just felt very unnatural? and awkward? |

That opening basically tells you what this show is going to be like. This is just not how you do a first episode at all. You'd think that the creators would put some of the most interesting things about their show in the very first episode, essentially making the episode itself a "teaser" for the rest of the series. But what am I supposed to be looking forward to after this? More bathing and running around naked? That doesn't seem like the worst idea for a fanservice or sports series, but then the whole premise here (the magic school with the books) is just wasted as window dressing. It's silly how almost the entire episode focused on the protagonist, and we barely learned anything about her. She is supposedly a book nerd and she suffers from anxiety, but all of that is buried so deep under the generic moe-isms, that she ends up lacking depth even after a full episode dedicated to her. The only thing remotely interesting about her was the way her mother's death was brought up If only the episode had focused more on the actual stories she enjoys. But this is not going to be that kind of anime. It's going to be a fanservice-moe-action shlock (in fact, forget the action - there wasn't even a decent battle, since the teacher got in the way) that over-optimizes itself, like a smoothie that ends up tasting like nothing in particular because you threw too many different things in it. Magic high schools (like Harry Potter), metafiction (like the Neverending Story), mahou shoujo anime. Those are all nice things, but if you just throw their elements into a story randomly without understanding what makes them work, you will probably end up with something like Märchen Mädchen. I'm willing to give episode 2 a shot, just in case I'm wrong, but I'm not expecting anything good out of this one anymore. Also, I sure hope no one is expecting any consequential yuri (i.e. more than just throwaway teasing) here, because it should be obvious that that's not going to happen. feels bad for you :( but i suggest not to look forward to any isekai adaptations, disappointment will come! You wrote quite nice comments btw |
| This. Is. Adorable. 100% guaranteed to watch. But yeah I know it's gonna be at best a 5/10. Life is so hard. |
| i'm started to watch this along with Blend S but the fanservice of Marchen Madchen should be at MINIMUM level & @delta5 hello there |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| It was fine to me...nothing special...but let's see how this goes... it was nice to see fhana perform again as the OP of this show! 3/5. |

It's probably just a matter of tone, tropes, and whatever other random intangibles that make the difference. That being said, I think the fanservice in this show is pretty over the top and utterly unnecessary. I should look at the source material to see what the deal is. But...meh. It's kind of a cheap-looking show. I'm still gonna watch it! |
| High quality girls from Kantoku nice ED too. 11/10 |

Prankster_001 said: i'm started to watch this along with Blend S but the fanservice of Marchen Madchen should be at MINIMUM level & @delta5 hello there Blend S was bad because it lack fanservice, and I dropped it Marchen is much better out of the two These kinds of show can't be enjoyed without fanserives in my opinion. Also, Marchen character are cuter and more lovable and it aslo lacks those annoying males from Blend S which is a good thing |
thepath said: lolz Marchen Madchen's fanservice should be just turn down to minimum my laddie but i like Blend S a lot and u can't stop me from watching it and u hate Blend S bcoz u hate the sadist girl and u like shows with too much fanservice (like Marchen Madchen) and u think it more addicting just like a drug and tbh my lad i'm different than u may think i only watch anime for cute girls and i prefer the anime's fanservice should be LOWRED and it's my personal decreePrankster_001 said: i'm started to watch this along with Blend S but the fanservice of Marchen Madchen should be at MINIMUM level & @delta5 hello there Blend S was bad because it lack fanservice, and I dropped it Marchen is much better out of the two These kinds of show can't be enjoyed without fanserives in my opinion.

| I really like it.. |
| So, the characters in the book are alive or the MC was just mistaken? Hehe. Good first episode, btw. I enjoyed it. Will continue watching. That ED's so beautiful. Wanna know more about how Hazuki got to the other side and what on earth is that "Madchen" means. 4/5. |
