Overall it seems like a decent series and that Klaus guy reminded me of Shizuo XD.

And what exactly did the MC do by looking at the monkey apart from analysing a bug? Hopefully explained later.

Apart from that great animation and ost and badass fighting scenes.

And also

Also, wtf is up with the main character apparently being able to see shit and even take pictures, but always keeping his eyes closed? That was weird.


^exactly this


He squished the flea with his fingers and killed it.

As for his eyes, he's one of those characters who looks like they have their eyes closed but they really aren't. Like this one: http://myanimelist.net/character/34654/Chizuru_Aizawa

Wow... this is going to be epic...

I smell a Teggen Toppa Gurren Lagann type anime...

5/5 just amazing.

Wow great premise for a generic setting of a place where humans and other beings co-exist. They did a good job of explaining and has a decent does of comedy. Looks very interesting.

Is someone comparing Noragami to this glorious AotS candidate? Noragami had no animation compared to this. And the art, do I have to mention it?

Aside from the pretty good action (fist was meh but blade was really good), I cannot emphasize enough about how they put enormous effort on art, it's almost like watching a movie animation.

The only gripe is that they need to work on typography since it doesn't look that cool compared to KLK and that it won't sell well since I sense no moe/fujoshi bait in this.

You're the fucking best BONES.


I think you will find Noragami had great animation

But most of the fights where still MEH

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

Nice animation for the fights, and I wanna see more of these "blood style techniques" , because it seems there's tons of different ways the characters can use them.

Love it when Bones gets to do battle scenes with a high pace.

Now I just have to hope the story is not as annoying as certain other anime they've done like a little bit more than a year ago ... Because the rest is pretty much proven to be good already.

Wow this episode was very enjoyable.

The visuals were amazing, and the action scenes... damn. Bones sure put a lot of effort there.
The music helped a lot with the jazz-y atmosphere, i loved it, it fits the strange yet lively city.

Things are still confusing but it's only the first episode; It seems to be a very interesting series. One of my favorites so far.

I'm not sure if it's just because it was 4am when I watched this, but I just do not get it.

It sure as hell looks great, the world is super interesting, and the character design is wonderful, but I just do not like how the story was first displayed to us.
So many things were happening it seems just for the sake of happening - and not in the good way IMO. New things were getting thrown at me and I didn't understand any of it. Was I too damn tired when I watched this episode?

Yeah, I'll give it a few weeks.

Strong Baccano/Durarara vibes from this one, I like it. And like Baccano and Durarara, its hard to tell whats going on in just the first episode. I thought this was a great first episode, I hope Bones can keep up like they usually do with this one since its very promising so far.

Yoooo what the hell is this, Shinpachi and Hijikata are in this show. And there's Zura too. I hope I'm not the only one who is having a hard time not to laugh because the characters have VA of the ones in Gintama. XD

Great episode though, I liked it.

Definitely one of the best, if not the best, premiere episodes of this season. Story seems like it has potential/will get interesting, animation and music was awesome. My one complaint is that it was a little fast, but I think that was just to throw us into the world and it'll get better as time goes on.

Nice intro. I went into this knowing nothing but cool art, so I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm really glad the monkey lived in the end, he's super cute.

Not a huge priority on my list, but I'll be looking forward to it every week. :)

Am I the only one who feels this will be like Baccano! and end up being more enjoyable with an English Dub?

Watching this episode, I felt strangely... nostalgic. I kept getting the same feeling as that day back in 2008, when I put on Darker than Black episode 1 (and 2 and 3). Bones, we loves ye.

I don't know what to make of this so far. Getting Men in Black vibes with the whole aliens living in NYC kind of thing but it also feels like Darker than Black mixed with Gurren Lagann. Interesting enough for me to continue watching though,

I don't have any expectation because I only watch this series for Bump of Chicken. So far so good, and has strong DtB vibe too. Well DtB mixed with Gintama to be exact.

I'm confused as all fuck and the series is making no effort to help me out with my confusion.
Also, blood powers are slowly starting to become really fucking boring.

but yeah, it looks real pretty and dynamic, though Bones stuff usually does.
Let's see if they can keep up the visual quality.

Starts with the corniest narration and then a convenient explanation of the setting.

Anyways nice setting. Well at least Nakai Kazuya saved the thing.
Good ost so far, really fitting.

Ay pretty damn cool powers though.

I guess this show proves that making an over-the-top action show is not that easy...
3/10, and that's counting the incomprehensible sakuga action scene. Dropped, unless I hear a lot of people praising it after it ends.

Same here and it's hard to explain why.

It just feels like a bunch of my fav shows mixed together.
Hopefully it becomes more coherent as time goes on.

Meh, that way worse that what I expected. The story is stupid, and the monster/enemies looks stupid, and action looks even dumbers.

I thought this anime is going to be one of these superpower/magic anime that have serious and deep story. But 1st episode felt similar more like that crap called Durarara!! Even that boring OST feels the same.

I'm hugely disappointed, but I will watch 2 more episodes to see if it worth watching.

On the other hand, Owari no Seraph was way better than I what expected. I recommend that for any person who enjoy some deeper stuff like attack on titan.
