Well, I was prepared for the worst, but it was "ok".

I am from Germany, the country where the story takes part and it's always funny how jap. ppl imagine country and ppl.
Though the uniform of the regular police was pretty much the real thing.

There is a german F-1 pilot called Heinz-Harald Frentzen, so maybe there is some connection, too.

Anyway I have seen worse shows. Let's try out ep 2 ...

Well ep 1 was ok. The story seems intriguing at least and I like the anime style (I'm a GONZO sucker, go figure), but I think there's too much CGI, lame CGI. Guess I had my hopes too high up.

Anyway, it was just the first episode. It will probably get better. ^^

On the anime:
I've nothing against GONZO like most people here seem to be, although I think it's pretty biased to blatantly judge an anime to suck instantly, because XYZ made it. It's practically nonsense.


It's mostly track record. And opinion too, of course. For instance I see nothing wrong with GAINAX except with how they milk NGE(and possibly TTGL soon) but the LOL GONZO comes from LOL GAINAX. Anyways, GONZO just tends to screw things up. Not that all their productions are inherently "bad" necessarily, just that they screw things up.

The story looks so good and some characters looks interesting. I'll continue this!

And I like so much Gonzo (they fail with RxV but another shows are pretty good) and all that speech about "they ever fail with the anime shows in middle or end" its just an opinion not the Supreme Truth xD. For example in my opinion about the anime quality, MADHOUSE is worse than Gonzo :

-Death Note (Plot Treatment and Ending is crap compared to manga)
-Tenjou Tenge (Plot Treatment and Ending is crap compared to manga)
-Claymore (Ending is crap compared to manga)
-Gunslinger Girl (Ending is crap compared to manga and plot is sooo slow)
-Ichigo 100% (100% crap compared to manga xD)

Then the fail in RxV and Gantz is not too much against all that crap of Madhouse and still talking about Gonzo, Saikano and Chrno Crusade are adapted from a manga and both are amazing.

See my point? Very people wil be disagree with me and that is perfect because this is my opinion. Any opinion in a forum are not the absolute truth =)

Because that i dont believe in LOL Gainax, LOL Gonzo or LOL [insert Studio Name here] even if its Madhouse. For example i'm actually watching Allison & Lillia and I'm enjoying so much and i hope that keep good until the end. I dont judge an Anime Studio if a couple of titles are not good for me because I know that any studio can improve in the next anime or even make a holy masterpiece xD

That's what i'm believe! Greets!!

See ya later!

Kouta~

hm well i'll keep following this series, it sparked my interest so i will see how the next episodes turn out.
dunno what thsese things you talk about lol, i'm not 'that' much into anime

anyways i know the quality of the episodes i watch is bad so i can't really grade the animation and artwork unless i get myself some nice HD version or something.

i do hope the story picks up, so far all good for me, no big failing yet

Wow, I am impressed. This was a good episode.
And when I heard Sayaka Ohara, I screamed in joy. My favorite seiyuu has a role in this anime! <3

I don't know why a lot of people dislike this episode....This is my first time watching this series and I thought the episode was better than average.

I wonder what side effects that guy will start having now that he took that pill from that Green haired lady...

Also I can't wait to watch Shiki....i'm going to order that anime show off amazon.com tomorrow....

I know Shiki is even better than this show...can't wait to finish up both series!!!

This show shouldn't be taking the lord's name in vein though...that is wrong...

Not too impressed by this first ep. The CG is terrible in particular and very distracting. The characters seem pretty stereotypical too.

I'll give a couple more eps. though.

Like I said somewhere else, I don't care too much about which studio's making what. A show isn't bad until I see it become bad.

This. I don't know why people are judging an anime base on the studio. So far it's looking good, a solid build up, good art, decent animation, and I feel that the CG suits the situation. And most of all, it's just the beginning, it's only just the first episode, and people are saying that this is crap, like.. wtf?

I liked this first episode. The CG is indeed very weird, but other than that, i like where this is going.

First thought was.. my eyes can't keep up with the messy CG.
The story isn't bad though I'm not sure what its about yet.. but very predictable for the first episode.
Some of the characters were cool.. I hope it gets better.

Not a bad episode.

For now, the story's interesting enough to continue watching but i'm not a fan of the CG but i'll get used to it.

i should have looked into this show a little more before starting to watch it.

the Synopsis made this sound so much better than it was.

i'm bias though, anything with this much cgi is an automatic -5 for me.

lol there's so little interest in this that it only has 1 page of threads in 7 years...
