| YESSS, SPYAIR!. Besides being all excited about hearing SPYAIR in anime with Sugita having main role, i was nicely surprised.Simply great first episode, i really like the setting and characters.Will continue for sure. |
 |
| Thought it was terrible, it was hard for me to even finish the episode to be honest. Put it as dropped for now, really didn't click with me for whatever reason. Maybe if I hear it gets really good later on I'll pick it back up. |

| If I saw a naked man in a dark alley say he was a superhero I would really think he's on something, but this was a pretty good first episode. I can see Masayoshi inspiring a lot of people in later episodes, and I really want to see how far he can get as a super hero, I'm pretty sure that suit on the cover is the completed version. |
 |
| this can be somethin good. totaly diferent of what i imagined more sugita this season, helll yeah |
| This episode was boring, I hope it gets better :/ |
| Anime of the season, anime of the year, anime of the life. This shit is gonna be amazing. |
| It was okay for me? There are too many good series this season, don't think I'll prioritise this if I don't have time. But it has potential, I believe. And Sugita is definitely a plus! |
| oh man that was great, this will hopefully not end up like chuunibyou and become horribly melodramatic by the end, i want some series scenes just not like that show. As for the first episode, i was smiling the entire time, sugita's character hidenori is just likable as hell right off the bat and so is hazama, it has a real childish innocence feel to it being stomped on by reality. The writing was just great and so was the art and music. The homages to kamen rider were just great. This will probably be my favorite show of the season if it keeps up like this. And seeing how the preview was showing other "superheroes" i cant help but feel like things will just get much more entertaining from here on out episode is a 5/5 for me, it was just everything a show like this should have in its first episode |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Lol i normally don't like any superhero stuff but this seems like it might be good plus i got some KickAss vibes from it and it worked out for them :P. plus Sugita makes anything more enjoyable |
 |
| 00:32 it's Silvertime!!! 01:42 dat shinobirun 03:27 he thinks he's a superhero 06:58 dat Seigibaka 07:44 so that Beeburr's a Tokusatsu otaku 20:23 ”Gotosan、have i become curry rice？” Only in Japan. 7/10 for this ep. It's kinda epic, in a way. lol |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. 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. |
| To much man-service!!!!! They showed him naked 2 times >.> "Hero will never give up, never hide, never be defeated, never accept evil" Cool quote. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| So, he's a model who's trying to be a superhero. Okay. It's a lot less serious than I thought it would be, but I enjoyed it. I like the relationship between him and the cop, seems like they'll be working together with the superhero stuff. He seriously needs to learn how to fight properly though, and not just make epic speeches to people. |
| wow gay |
| If this is pulled right might be a reeeeeeally good one. It might even be my favorite of the season. I still can't really understand where is this is going, but I have the vibe that this will be good. Can't really expain it. Anyway, I feel some good bromance between the MCs. I hope it will turn out with something like Tiger and Bunny but without super powers. Oh, Sugita and SPYAIR together? Gintama nostalgia .. I'm also really interested to know when the idols will make their appearance, and how. parfaited said: I'm more hyped for this than for Kill La Kill. There I said it. oops This. Just this. |

| Eh, I'm not really into this anime and the episode was not that interesting. I'll give the next the couple of episodes to see if improves. Though the concept of becoming a hero is worth for character development. |
| dem thought-provoking moral lessons -- Oomori at work here? lol not that convincing yet but certainly complications are gonna fire this up no Freedom Sugita? |
| Well I love it so far. Sugita's character is so Kyon it hurts |
 |
| Kill La Kill looks SHIT compared to this. 'Nuff Said. |
| Nice start, I really liked it, can't wait to see more characters... |
Currently watching everything that comes out to avoid missing something good... |
| I loved it! The series seems pretty laid-back so far but there are 21 episodes left and that's plenty of time for the plot to develop. |
| I really liked the first episode but I do have a weakness for seeing the different things that can be going on with superheros behind the mask. With or without powers, seeing what they do during their off time and reasoning for their crusade. It is all so fascinating. And I have to say this is one of the more optimistic leads for such a series I've seen. Even though his speech was hardly a ray of sunshine. xD; |
 |
| The MC trying to be a modern day superhero? Well I like the idea. Though there were many facepalms and cringe moments in the first episode, the kid who took his words to heart at the end made me grin. Samurai Flameco is going to change the world, one person at a time. :) I foresee character development! |
| Really interesting. I like it, even with the animation being not so great. |
| Idk guys, I was a bit disappointed this isn't like Kamen rider, and yet somehow after I finished I ended up even more hyped then I actually was. I don't know what it is, I can't put my finger on it but I have a really good feeling about this show. |
| To be honest... I was bored. I didn't like it at all, give it a few more episodes I guess. |
 |
| Looks like I wasn't the only one thinking about Kick-Ass while watching this. Pretty meh episode, no interest in watching any more. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| A lot better than I could have expected. It's going to be 22 episodes, nice. Also the ED song is awesome, those 3 girls will appear sometime. I wonder if this anime will stay completely grounded in reality |
 |
| pretty good. no one who played super hero as a kid can hate this show. and to some extent the show is thought provoking wonder how it will progress. will it stay grounded in reality, will there be supernatural elements will masayoshi turn into a sort of batman |
| Makes me wonder why don't they just animate Kick Ass. Would be more interesting if there's actually an ass-kicking character like Hit Girl. It's gonna be really bland if this guy's just gonna go around solving petty crimes for 22 episodes. I'm still reeling with the fact that the hilarious Nou Come only got 10 episodes while potentially boring series like this got 22. |
 |
| That was really cute at the end. Goto and Masayoshi are gonna have a great dynamic, I can feel it. The episode really made me laugh too, mostly because Goto's faces all ep just made it the best. He's so realistic, whilst Masayoshi is so frickin' ridiculous. It's a great combo. |
| Lol that was great! Love the OP/ED! I liked his speech was pretty good. Gonna keep watching, have a feeling this will turn out great :D And Sugita is everywhere these days! YAY!! |
| Super hero without the super. This is going to be fun. |
chaos86 said: your completely missing the point, kick ass was a parody of the supoerhero cliches, specifically of spiderman(it eventually lost itself and jumped the shark later on by becoming just another super hero story) while this is about the childhood innocence of wanting to grow up to be something more than humanly possible, we all did it and we all put it behind us somewhere in our childhood. This is about if someone actually continues to live through that childhood dream. Its not trying to be kick ass and if you threw in some hit girl like character that would completely kill the entire point cause this show actually takes place in the real world, kick ass at first tried to be our world but got way too over the top and lost that feelMakes me wonder why don't they just animate Kick Ass. Would be more interesting if there's actually an ass-kicking character like Hit Girl. It's gonna be really bland if this guy's just gonna go around solving petty crimes for 22 episodes.

| I didnt expect that this show would be Tiger&Bunny × Kick-Ass in the normal world right now without superpower × Hit-Girl (so far). I only knew the title beforehand. ^^ Could be an awesome ride with this show. Now I am very excited what will happen. Defenitely one of the best starts this season. |
| well... it was weird... |
| That was fun to watch |
 |
| nice funny anime, remind me of kick ass 4/5 |
| That was fun to watch. I totally like it. The dynamic between Hazama and Goto is going to be great. I couldn't help but laugh at many parts of the episode. |
| Watched this with my room mate and her first impression: "the guy has a bad case of chuunibyou?" xD I wonder how they're going to fill this 2 cour. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Not bad for the first episode, the animation is great and nice concept. Great OP by SPYAIR. parfaited said: Something with a name like Samurai Flamenco cannot possibly be a letdown. That's right. Looking forward for more. |
| I like anime like these. Will definitely follow it. SPYAIR! :D |
 |
| I hope he can be a real superhero by the end of this *_* |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| When I first saw the preview for this show, I wasn't expecting it to be about a guy wanting to be a super hero. But with that, it's actually interesting, and so far, this looks like something that could be really great, but Hazama really needs to know how to fight, it'll be painful to just keep watching get the living crap beat out of him. |
