2nd episode was great. It's the first thing that I've ever seen that actually makes fan service well...kind of moot, because it treats men the same way as women. The part where the teacher's pecs just explode out of his shirt is insanely hilarious and shows that the creators of the show are doing all of the fan service-y bit in good humor, and in equal amounts.
Also, I have a bit of a phobia of cuts on my wrists (something I saw on tv as a kid scarred me for life...can't stand to have anything touch my wrists) so the fact that the heroine of the show has to cut her wrist essentially to activate her super suit makes me want to pass out but in the best way possible. I love the idea that there's a sacrifice involved with being super charged. Reminds me of how magic is supposed to work. You can't just go around casting spells...each spell you cast could come with a consequence (in well-written magic stories...for instance...there's a novel out there somewhere where each time you cast a spell, a part of your body disappears at random. Could be your head, so you'd better make sure using magic is worth it).
Anyways, this show is hitting all of my buttons. Love it.
