I've seen the first episode, and while it's too early to judge, I definitely was not too amused with what I saw. It seemed as though the people who produced it were just trying to hard to be funny. While the game took the characters and just had them interact in a way that was natural, what happened in the first episode was forced. I think this is more of an attempt to cash in on the success of the game rather than to make a quality series.
The introduction of three certain characters certainly did not come at a time that even fit the events that was happening. At the very least, they could have introduced Etna at that point and had a bit more verbal sparring than what actually occurred. Oh well, at least we'll get a chance to see Etna and the prinny squad in ep. 2.
Still, this isn't a good start to a (supposedly) comedic series. The producers should take a few hints from School Rumble Nigakki for some pointers on how to do things as that is a series that manages to give me good expectations for the rest of the season while maintaining its humor.
How ya doing, buddy?
