| Nice way to start of an anime. Hopefully I'll start understanding it next episode |
| "You watch too much." "I don't watch enough."  |
| wtf, the passing sucks. This episode was so random. Too much characters, not enough time. Will they fit in 12 episodes? somehow I doubt it. |
 |
| Interesting.. I hope it will be better than Durarara. |
| First impression: Damn was that awesome. I have to rewatch it thousands of times, but still couldn't understand it at all. How did they get those wounds? Why are those couple in white suits wounded? And how did the male only has his bones without muscles or skin? It's kinda terrifying... The other thing that I noticed is how interesting the characters are and that there will be a lot of bloody scenes which hopefully, won't be censored xD The dark theme of this anime gave off an interesting aura, which is why I've rewatched it for countless times xD |
 |
| Wow i didn't understand fuck all,too many characters and stories going on at the same time. :/ |
| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |

|
| So vast cast of characters. O.o I've decided to watch this since it's the similar to Durarara and as of ep 1, yeah it's similar. Though I haven't finished DRRR. Just want to finish this first coz there so many references in DRRR that I don't get. >.< Scattered scenes which doesn't make sense at first but I hope those scenes will be weaved neatly in the upcoming episodes. |
| Wow, that's a lot of characters. I usually find it easy to memorize names, but I'll have to put some effort in this one. XD; So I watched this without reading the synopsis, and I have to say... it's interesting. =)) What kept me watching was that scene with Firo's fingers. "D ...Oh and that kid. I forgot his name. I like all that blood. ♥ Anyway, I don't really understand anything. But it's the first episode, so it's not unusual. Better go watch the second now. |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| This was a pretty confusing first episode, it does look promising. |

"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| @ Beatnik To prove your point, he actually ended up giving it a 10. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I've already watched the whole show, and i found the first episode really confusing as well. Though every character gave me an unique aura, it's set in one of my favourite time periods, and the music is AMAZING. You will understand everything in this episode once it's all over anyways. |
| Wow. Crazy first episode. I liked that this show isn't afraid to show violence... I mean, their the mafia for god's sake... but there are a plethora of shows that don't take it to the next level like this one. The mass amount of characters is, indeed, confusing... but it seems that we get to know them as the series continues. Overall, good start. |
  |
| Didn't expect to see all that gore, but it was a nice surprise. This seems like it could be promising with all the people I see praising it. |
| Wow this episode gave me a big question mark on my face, but I think I will end up liking it, once I continue watching it (The gore in this one is excellent ;D) |
 |
| It's really different. But, it's very difficult to understand. |
| And another ride on the crazy train begins..... After watching DRRR I had to give this one a try.... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| This first episode was a tad bit confusing to be honest. All that set aside, I LOVE the 1930's theme and the music. Also the dub voice actors are really great, especially Firo. I think I like Firos character xD I flinched when his finger got ...yeah :p Looks like this is going to be a great series ! |

| WTF. I didn't get a thing. But I suppose it'll become clear soon enough. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Do yourself a favor and watch the first episode again after the other 15 (including specials). IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW! |
Tiago97 said: rkell48 said: This first episode was a tad bit confusing to be honest. But that's the whole phucking point. :P Same here, I didn't grasp a lot about the story. But it will surely come later after some episode eventually. Aside from that the art was really great. |
 |
| Confusing as hell. |
watched the whole series + the ovas, but there is this one scene in the first episode which is never shown again. there are the Jacuzzis, Chane, Ennis, and Miria and Isaac but where are they and who are these two armored women??? could this be a part of the novels which they forget to explain in the later episodes??? |
| Confusing first episode but looks like there's some cool characters. |
 |
| Confusing first episode, so I will love this series since confusing seems to always make a series that much better. Firo is already one of my favorite characters, such a badass guy. I flinched when his fingers got cut. |
| What a weird first episode, I hope it doesn't turn out that everyone has that immortality thing. |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Fun episode of immortality and entertainment :> |
 |
| The cast of this show is huge concerning villains and sympathetic charaters in equal measures though it might be difficult to tell the differences between those in some cases with regard to their sanity. The story is told from various perspectives and from what I could gather from this episode this show's main purpose is to unravel the mysterious (and fatal) events on the "Flying Pussyfoot". |
 |
| So many characters. I didn't understand a damn thing lol. |
  |
| didn't make any sense...so confusing |
| all i must say is THE FLYING PUSSY FOOT!!!! LMAOOOO |
| When I saw it at first, I thought it was a dubbed version. And I kept on seeing people commenting "Get that dubbed shit out of here!" and stuff, but LOL. I was trolled |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| Decent first episode but i didn't know what the hell was going go. It just seemed like they were cutting to different scenes at complete random.. |
     |
| God just decided on a whim to start re-watching this one... Holy shit watching it a second time just makes you clearly notice all the tricks being dumped in, especially that little bit at the beginning with Clara and that gray-haired book keeper dude... I mean holy shit I forgot about that however that is a complete ticket to understanding the series... Love this series! |
 |
| OMG i watched second episode first then im watching this.Ironic this episode just spoiled what was going to happen i think while this guy was saying some stories.LOLOLOL it god madd bloody lil nig be getn his head blown off WOW im 8 mins into the first ep after watchin second first.I didn't think this would be supernatural lol i thought that old lady in second ep was just buggin ,,,,i guess not This anime got really bloody compared to the second episode.SUM REEL SHIT !!!!!!I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING SECOND EPISODE FIRST!!!!!!!! |
| Feels like losing all five senses & Maybe not able to have thoughts, Enjoi... |
| Overall, decent episode. I was lost at some points when they kept switching scenarios. Loving the violence and the slight supernatural touch so far. The scene with the homeless man was pretty entertaining. |
| So far, things aren't making a whole lot of sense to me, but I'm hoping that they will in an episode or two. Overall, the plot seems interesting, what with all the different characters and their criss-crossing paths (even though the number of characters are currently doing nothing but making my head spin). The only things I know for sure is that there are three different mafias and then there are some guys with regeneration powers. Oh and that guy and the little girl who seems to be telling the story. Anythings besides that, I'm blank. On to the next one! |
 |
| Decent ep. Not as great as I expected it to be. It's kinda messy. Random things happening. Some people can regenerate after getting hurt? Wow. |
| I have a good feelling about this anime, although I got lost at some points o_0 I hope things will get clearer at the next episodes. Loved the art, the immortal thing that's going on and all characters seem very well-developed and interesting. |
| This looks very promising. The gore is just out of the world. I see why this has been given the genre of seinen. |
 |
| I liked it but I am pretty confused and having trouble figuring out what was going on since there were alot of characters introduced and many different situations. |
| What an epic cast. The opening was really awesome. 5/5 |
