SFX and Music were much too loud and the voices were barely audible. Lol.

Episode didn't really take off until the very end, it's okay for now.

The episode wasn't bad. That blonde just summoned a Persona,lawl.

Touji sure is mysterious. He know too much for just a delinquent. I'm sure he will turn out to be quite powerful.

Is it just me or is it either the voices were too soft/the environment was too loud? It's kinda annoying especially the cg cars.

Okay ep for a start. Was a bit disappointed since I was really looking forward to this. :\

I'm not entirely certain what this was about... and I didn't like what I saw.

From a purely technical standpoint, this was insulting to watch. I kept my volume at around 30%, and in the last 5 minutes the sound was so bad I actually considered taking off my headphones, putting them next to me, and reading the subtitles from there. Every other scene has at least one derpy eye, with the best example being around 5:50 into the episode. Also, as a few others have pointed out, the CG was really intrusive with this style.

Still, the series could have an interesting plot; I think I'll tag along until the 3 episode mark.

Am I the only person here who thinks everything was done near-perfect? The graphics were detailed and CG animation was smooth. The voice acting was quite nice too.

What the hell the part with the trucks near the end was so damn loud, also blush more plz.


That was okay I guess but it was better than what i've watched in the past day or so: BlazBlue, Machine-doll and Arpeggio.

It is very unlikely that this series will crack many people's top 10 lists, but it doesn't look that bad! The current ranking is 72xx which is nuts for a new series (that doesn't suck monkey balls)... I was expecting it to be in the 1500-3000 range after watching the first ep. I'm kinda glad I didn't see the ranking earlier or I may have skipped what looks like could be an interesting series!

Suzuka certainly has an [url = http://i.imgur.com/4MFvIs1.jpg]interesting way of eating food...[/url]

Thoughts on this episode:

  • Liked the MC, has arguments both for and against becoming a mage, but I think we know which way this will go
  • Don't like the CGI monster thing, looks so unnatural
  • NTR in first episode, must be some kind of record

The premise seem pretty interesting.
I would have give this a 4/5, but the terrible audio editing almost kill my ears.
If you didn't watch this episode yet, DO NOT USE HEADPHONE.
Thus, 3/5

I swear that I probably suffer some minor permanent hearing lost. If they try to kill my ear one more time, I am dropping this regardless.

As a LN reader of Tokyo Raven, I must say this episode was much better than I anticipated The story flow was good. It actually covered about 40% of volume 1, but the anime didn't lose too much scenes or info from the LN.also it was a good scene to end the episode

You are not alone bro, I thought it was pretty good as well. And to those guys complaining about the sound, maybe it is the video problem?

Seriously, those 2 blushing throughout all the episode.
All those romance parts were so painful to look at too. It felt like creators are forcing that pairing so they could kill off Hokuto or whatever her name was. Second half seriously seemed that way until that kiss. That was random lol. Otherwise this shaman thing is looking good and the rest of the episode was fine. Didn't mind cgi that much after watching arpeggio and machine-doll lol.

Shaman King II!! lol

Interesting premise and an MC who's not dense yay!! The ED song is so nice and relaxing.. the CG was fluid and has a lot of detail unlike Machine Doll. Overall looks to be a very promising series.

I liked the opening.

And just when I thought I'll say that this is like Kaze no Stigma, MC is from well known family, has no powers, but his love interest dies so he obtains godlike powers... nothing, his love interest didn't die and all that happened was a kiss from villain.

Lets see where this goes.

Tsucimikado name remind me of Index since he is also onmyouji. Anyway this is interesting since MC have two posible love interest (three counting villain). The pacing is also good.

My only problem with this is the audio too loud and it buried character voice.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Hmm, this was an ok start I guess. The CGI was sorta off-putting, not because it was badly done but because of how glaringly it stood out from the animation. The CGI was better quality than the 2D animation too, or at least it felt that way to me.

The plot seems very... relationship-centric. I was hoping for something much less so for an anime tagged as comedy shonen - I'm hardly a fan of outright romance anime, which is what this felt like. Romance isn't even a genre tag here and yet this whole episode seemed to be little but Harutora being juggled between two women's tsundere desires for him, with a third suddenly kissing him out of nowhere. I really hope that this is just a misleading beginning and any of this shippy business will get shrugged out of the way for more action, or indeed comedy, which I can't say we've seen anything of yet.

It was going quite nice. Then I went back and looked at the M.A.L page for Tokyo Ravens and found out that it was animated by 8bit. Then shortly after it turned into a typical type of anime 8bit make (disappointment ensues). I did enjoy it however, so I really hope it will get better and not turn into another infinite stratos.

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Cool OP and nice ED song.

Good first episode, I kinda hate Harutora when he's blushing because i like awesome MC.

The voice of Hanazawa Kana was really cute imo.

I didn't expect that she will kiss him.

Looking forward to the next episodes.

Harutora talked shit. Natsume is damn cute.
And TK is badass. He should go get some harem.

On topic:
The flow wasn't very good for me. It's all over the place. I still don't have an idea what is what.
But overall it was decent. Interesting plot. Nice characters. It has potential. Will see if this turns good.

Not bad, not great either. Everyone except Natsume is kind of boring for me right now. Not fond of the character designs either. I'm assuming Hokuto will die later... I just get that weird feeling. LOL After all, it's like
. Main love interest dies and he moves on to the remaining one.
