5/5

To tell you the truth, it leaves you somewhat hesitant this first episode.
Cryptic storyline, so many things need to be clarified.
Narration too abstruse and hasty. Maybe they had to develop the production better. The buged available will be low, but this is not the problem. For drawings and animations, those can be improved later. The important thing is that it develops the story well, maintaining an aura of mystery but also has an intelligibility that does not get bored. Instead, the narrative must become more compelling.
Vote of confidence for now.
Final rating, instead of 6/10!

I loved this anime so far! I can see that there's potential on this series. For some reason the characters designs reminds me of Nurarihyon no Mago it could be those eyes or even the setting since it's really dark. Anyway, i am sure there will be haters that hate this anime since it's using 3DCG type for it's mecha and monsters.

I will definitely looking forward to the future episodes

Oh I noticed MAL sets this at 24 episodes. I guess it'll be a 2 cour then?

Meeeeh. Dat anticlimatic ending, he killed the "Ghost" simple as that? lol
Seems pretty unoriginal so far, don't know how will it turn out.

Giving it 24 episodes should be enough to create something worth watching.

So-so..the characters are what you would expect from a mecha I guess but then there's no real mecha action just yet(?)

Sloppy art and the concept doesn't really intrigue me right now. Since this a 2-cour hopefully it will turn into something great but for that to happen Emiru needs to die.

Red poop. On a second thought, yes, the admonition does resemble a giant red poop.

Anyways, was somewhat interesting so far. Visually, it looks fine, it's just the CGI was ugly. Since nothing has been really explained so far, I'm pretty curious about some things. I like how they kind of just let the story flow. But what is this? Do I see people mentioning Okada Mari? Hmm, that's usually a hit or miss for me. I'm not liking the other anime this season that she's working on, so not sure what to expect here.

I guess spring season 2014 has a lot of freaky monsters that threaten humanity. Since so far we have Gastrea, Penguins and now these red poop thingys. ;)

The start felt somewhat rushed with the characters coming all together,
but I liked the mecha fights and Akashi's background story
With the crystals it felt like "Guilty Crown" which doesn't have to be a bad thing

Had super high hopes for this as I thought it would stave off my cravings for Zenkyou no Terror (summer anime line-up).

That's what I get. 2 more episodes and it's either a permanent yay or nay.

0/10 would not watch again


This is a first on MAL isn't it? 0/10?

I hold out hope that it will at least rise to a 6/10 by the end of its run.

Seemed interesting enough. Also, i loved the darker atmosphere it gave.
Just gona hope they don't f*ck this up (like it was with Mahou Sensou - interesting plot and all but they f*cked it up)

Animation isn't great, but so far the thing that is really holding this thing back is the character's personalities.

There isn't really anyone i like in this show yet.

Interesting premise ruined by annoying characters (emo girl is the only one interesting). I'm not sure if I should continue. Mari Okada is really good at creating intrigue but she almost always had anti-climatic ending and I'm afraid it'll be the same with this story.

Corpse girl = Menma and Eniru = Anaru. See? I know where this is going.

Anyways, promising first episode. We'll see where this goes. Have high hopes for this even though its only been the first episode. My hunches about these things are usually right so definitely one of the more promising anime this season, especially since its 24 episodes. The characters also seem like they will probably have developed back-stories, can't comment on it til it's actually shown but good to know its most likely there.

This isn't really the worst of the season (it still is shit), but I have to congratulate it for being the first anime I fell asleep watching. I'm going to continue onto episode 2, doubt I'd go further though.

We all have an immature part of ourselves that laughed when Raika said "Red Poop".

I hope to see more mecha action.

I was getting Bokurano vibes off the start... it doesn't look like it will go that direction though.

Decent first episode. It successfully made me want to see what happens next.

This was a bit dull, but definitely seeing promise and had some high tension moments such as whatever's haunting Akashi with that guardian in the glasses. Also all on board for Okada Mari and Sato Junichi.

I got no complaints. Pretty excited to watch this. Reminds me of Bubblegum Crisis. Hope they don't ruin it with plot lag or something.

That Emiru girl is already noisy and annoying. Just like one of the guys said, she lacks common sense.

I only heard about this anime recently.
The first episode I was pretty neutral about, besides the character designs. They seem plain to me.

Liking the look of this so far. The admonitions being monsterised, amorphous "ghosts" of their human selves who retain some emotions could make for some very gripping storytelling later on.
