| Shafted. 6.5/10 for this episode. |
| 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. |
| Kyouraku-san, this is mainly to keep the eyes on the main character. After all, it's not about the people on the street, it's about the characters that are presented to us. IMO it was a good choice to not give them details, because we wouldn't be giving attention to the main character. I really liked the first episode. As many people said, the bakemonogatari style was pretty good. I personally loved the art style, so I wouldn't mind seeing it on another anime :D It seems this episode was quite fast paced, in comparison with Ep2 and the manga. But then again, it was probably better to have this episode at that pace. |
| i find this less confusing then bakemonogatari?? |
| Yeap. This is shaft alright. |
an egomaniac and a fool |
| Ayano. <3 |
 |
| Them head tilts though |
| I tried to watch it since many people talk about it. But my reaction "What happened ?" Still will try to watch the next episode later. Let me see what is this. Am I the only one who didn't get the story right away? |
 - barely alive - |
| Ene looks a lot like Miku...and there's others that remind me of Vocaloid...so any connection? Weak 1st episodes, let's see what will happen... |
 |
| Well, I guess I'll find out in the next episode what the fuck I just watched. SithNoKami said: Well this was very SHAFT, liked it quite a bit but wasn't the art/animation rather cheap? Exactly what I'm thinking. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| It's the shaftiest thing I've ever seen |

 |
| Having never read KagePro, I liked the first episode. And I like unique stories so unless it makes zero sense by the end, I'm good to go. Ene's voice really grated on me though. XD; Think I'll get used to it. |

| So, I think I'm in love with this artwork. Not sure if the main character (don't even know his name... "Jigokuchou") is actually paranormal or just a NEET hikikomori, but yep, the "wat" feeling this episode gives out is driving me to Episode 2. |
| lot of animes with Bakemonogatari feel these days |
| The story didn't really catch my attention so far. Though the animation was definitely cool. I liked how they mixed colored with black and white parts. |
| "Me ni wa me wo, ha ni wa ha wo, aku ni wa aku wo." |
| OMG It's here at last !!! i've been waiting for these since forever, great artwork reminds me of Bakemonogatari, i'm looking forward for the next episode |
 |
Raniero said: OP is pretty nice. First episode looks kinda low budget. Haha this. I was expecting a great animation and art. Overall, the first episode is not terrible and it's kinda good to continue watching the next episodes. |

AkuNoKawaiiUsagi said: VanishingKira said: Disappointing,looks like Shaft was too preoccupied with Nisekoi to care enough to give this a good adaption. Now,I'm a huge KagePro fan but this clearly wasn't that great/good.If that sounds harsh well it's not,I'm just stating the truth and not letting my like of the songs biasedly change my opinion on the anime. I was expecting better animation... perhaps, more colors and lighting? :< The characters lacked color and the background resembled some kind of amateur flash animation. It needs more shading *^* And don't you think there's too much monochrome moments? At some parts, the character's eyes and faces looked weird (No, I'm not talking about those red eyes) Too much signature SHAFT moments that it broke the flow of the story. I also agree to this. But anyway, I'll continue to watch the next episodes. |
|
| Quick side note I wanted to add, the zip tie-ing you thumbs thing is actually super effective. I've had my wrist duck tapped and that wasn't as akward as having my thumbs zip tied. It was weird and painful to try and get out of (needed someone to get scissors and help). |
| Examining one series under the magnifying glass at a time. |
| Finally ... I will .. watch this anime with pure feelings and honest judgment !!! ... I LOVE IT !!! Ene and Shintaro's relationship .. S&M Uniqueness !! Terrorist Hostage !! meeting with the "trio" !! The "Blindfold" Trio's special "eye" talents !!! Ene's cybernetic reforms !! Pretty Great Episode !!! |

| Mekakucity Actors episode 1: Over the top, yet underwhelming, i.e. Shafted. No sign of plot to save it at this point (like how plot saved the -monogataris even though they were also Shafted) |
 |
| Confused. |
| this is SHAFT alright... too much talking! and when they turn black and white... what? lack of budget? x.x |
 |
| Pretty damn epic start, you can definitely see the Shaft style in this one and with this concept I'm quite excited to see what will happen next and what this anime has to offer us! |
 |
| I have very little previous ecperience with Shaft's style, so this just feels contemporary to me. It'd interesting and I'm absolutely hooked. Also love the music! |

Shakkin-shitsuji said: Nice shaft style. quite entertaining for now :) 4510471 <---I'm the same lol Liar. |
| Dang, that animation looks really amazing! Shaft you've done it again! Don't know what's going to happen next, but will see how it goes. |
 |
| Interesting first episode. Now let's see what happens next. |
 |
| Well I enjoyed that, its got a lot going on though so i hope its not too messy. |
| Reminiscent of Monogatari. That's a bad sign right there. Also, that blue girl is so goddamn annoying. My ears are bleeding. 1/5 |
 |
| Interesting~ I'll be watching the next few episodes and see what happens next. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Well I didn't quite understand all the random events that popped up but looks interesting. |
| Nah, these characters are amazing! I'm curious what it's all of it about I mean that scene with clocks... Promises to be interesting :)  |
| Okay, so I decided to rewatch it after all this time and I don't regret it at all. I remember how I loved the first episode and was very excited about it, and here we go again! Since it is kind of weird I really hope I understand it better re-watching it. |
| this opening is simply amazing, I'm not even gonna argue about that |
 |
| I want an AI girl like that!! |
| Interesting premise, but it felt a bit flat. I liked the first half a lot, but when the hostage situation occurred at the mall, it the plot seemed sort of forced. I enjoyed it, but I wasn't blown away. |
 |
on 
| Seems so flat in execution, not so amazing. A bit confusing whats really going on. |

| It's been so long since I've watched anything from the Shaft/Akiyuki Shinbou combo, that despite how unabashedly Shafty this episode was, it was actually really enjoyable. The last time I watched anything from 'em was in 2014, which at the time of this post is 4 years ago. Kinda feels like returning home, though the MC looks ridiculously like Araragi and some of the shots of Eme kinda reminded me of Hachikuji with those twintails. Though, the discoloration helps to skew the character designs to be analogous to a certain extent. |
| I liked this episode, definetly not my favorite but still pretty decent Ene and Shintaro have a pretty good dynamic especially if you know who Ene really is I havent got much to say since the synopsis is bassically yhe entirity of episode 1 |
| Cannot understand what's going on with this shit. dropped like a rock. |
| Enjoyable introduction episode,I'm guessing the confusing plot is intentional given this show's genre |
