| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Episode apparently pre-aired from Yahoo Premium and a web raw is out. Well it was okay I guess? The visuals looks somewhat cartoonish but the comedy was nice. I also liked the quality of the "action" bits and for most parts, I think the characters are amusing to watch. Jirou's personality was pretty much what I had expected. The comedy was spot on though and the music was nice, pretty sure they got a collection of them to use for remainder course of the season. Lol:  The transformation scenes were pretty amusing. The machine unicorn or whatever made me laugh more than I had thought. |

| The artstyle and animation felt cheap at first, but I soon got used to it. Apparently Jirou's job is to get rid of dangerous aliens, but jhe can't see them because he is a normal human. So he sought help from one of the superhumans, Hoshino to help seek them out. This episodes tells the story of how they met 5 years prior. The magic felt very random, like they were created just to fit the plot... I can't decide whether to keep watching. I'll probably forget about it in a few days anyway. |
| オタクなんじゃねぃよ I'm not an otaku. |

| took me so long to understand what's going on. that giant reminds me of ultraman tho. Good episode i guess |
 |
| Didn't even know this was released. Interesting start. I like the cool visuals. The MC is pretty cool, I guess. Don't disappoint, Bones. |

| Basically a huge info dump right from the start while i was mostly confused cause too much was going on. Interesting nevertheless. |

| My thoughts about the pilot episode: Okay, The animation was a bit like a cartoon, but just fine. And the story was a bit interesting. But the OP song was. The ED (and the OST) was fine. And both of it's animation was also fine. I guess, I'll watch this anime when the story gets more interesting. |

| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Good good. Cans someone explain me what happened at the end? |
| Okay from some guy that resembles Ultraman, to an evil alien that can reach godzilla's size, a magical girl, more superpowers, and a car that transforms... there are just so many things put in to this whole setting. Despite all the jumping around in the time frame, it did show how Jiro got Kikko to join, the main groups involved and the reason why he had to quit (though not exactly clear, as Jiro's action hardly seemed bad). It'll be interesting to see where this goes, but I was actually expecting more of a comedy outside of its innate absurdity. |
 |
| what the fuck is going on? this show is quite crazy to say the least i love the unique art style and i'll be watching it for that reason |
| :3 |
| I'm not even gonna pretend i understood what was happening or why, but this anime is really fascinating. The art is different, good, the colors are very pretty And i have an otp already. Kikko is cute Plus its bones, and i love it |
 |
| Well, this show will most likely be the hidden gem this season, it has a unique plot structure and has the 'Bones-y' mecha feel to it. Liking the different art style too. It appears both Sunrise and Bones are doing what they do best. |
| i'm very confused right now lmao the magical girl was cool i guess |
 |
| This was interesting! I like anime like this. And the animation style is pretty cool. But why Große Augen? He doesn't even have big eyes XD |
 |
| Woah! I just dunno what to expect 'cause I am not used to watch animes of seasons. I love superheroes so mucho <3 ... c: very much fascinating so far. Keep so!!! |
| Well this one is weird not in a bad way though. Took me some time to get used to the art. It's unique I will say. lol |
| Slightly confused at this. The art style is pretty cool though, I got used to it quick. |
 |
DeeIsMe said: I like the art/animation style and the music, but I'm not even gonna pretend like I know what the fuck happened. Definitely interested to see where Bones takes this, though. Pretty much sums up my thoughts. Truly baffled. Seems it's going for the episodic route though. |
"Hi!" |
| Can't really tell what's going on, but I think I can understand it a bit toward the end. MC quit the team and now being chase by his ex-team. Hm...Can't say for sure if I like it or not yet, one more episode and I should be able to make up my mind. |
 |
| From what can i see the story is pretty absurd but it doesn't take itself seriusly soo that's a good thing, the action was amazing and present really well it's characters. There where scenes thet felt all out of place there, at least it made sense at the end. Already love the animation, though sometimes feels a bit choopy, the art exceels. Till now the most promising of the season along OPM and owari, IMO. |
| Rolling Girls did it so much better, this was just messy, too messy. |

Hm...Can't say for sure if I like it or not yet, one more episode and I should be able to make up my mind. Yeah, for people who confused, this is the point of episode 1. There are two timeline / setting. The first is year 41 shinka, where Jiro met Kiko and the second is year 46, this time Kiko trying to capture Jiro because he left the bureau. And what connect them together is the man behind grossorgen in year 41. Kiko believe for 5 years that he already dead because Jiro's decision. But actually Jiro saved him by giving his new body to transform (S Yuuseijin which he captured). And at year 46, that man showed up and even help Jiro to escape from Kiko. So far that's the main story. Probably they will explain why Jiro did such an action (quits bureau and pursued by his ex-team) in further episodes (or just gonna cram it again just like this episode). But the point is, something happened between those 5 years, and in year 46 Jiro is the bad guy (?) |
| Not sure how to feel about this. Contains Magic + Mecha, two things I dislike. Color palette looks interesting and pop artsy, setting looks a bit retro so that's on the plus side. I have no idea what just happened, that progressed way too fast. |

| The art style was a huge turn off at first but I got used to it over time. Plot seems interesting and Kikko is cute af. |

|
| Yea I don't know what just happened in this episode. Confused as hell Meh opening, but pretty unique ending |
 |
| Oh my god it's Punchline all over again. If your anime works in a different logic than ours, you might as well start with something light to ease you audience in. Zero character establishment, confusing and jarring scene transition, reveal major plot line just three minutes into the anime without giving any preliminary information about the universe. What a great start! But don't worry it's still not as bad as info-dumping for 5 minutes straight. Or is it? Random tropes! References! I don't know they can make anime using a food processor. I hate original anime now. |

| Well that was really confusing |
| Not sure what people found so hard to follow everything was pretty straightforward,probably people that can't differentiate between what's happening in the current time and future. |
| This was interesting, I like how they tied the present and future like that, although it could've been less confusing, especially the intro. |
| It was good, a bit odd but it did clear itself at the end. Good job Bones |
 |
| Nope |
| It's flashy and colourful, but I may get tired of it, it looks quite similar to Gatchaman, I'll try a few more episodes, I might like it, though the artstyle is weird. |
 |
| I really wasn't sure if I was going to like it because it looked Very "Gatchaman"-y and I wasn't too big on Gatchaman. Though, this story seems promising. It would be nice if they would stop being so Bipolar about the year 41 and 46, and maybe do an episode for 41, then an episode for 46 to make it a little easier to follow. Although, I do like the premise. |
 [cent] [/cent] |
| I really liked this episode, I think it will be a cool anime 4/5 for me |
| I have the most polarizing view of this show.... At points I'm like "look at all the pretty colors and cool superhero stuff happening with mechs galore." Other times I'm like "Is there really a point for having all these flashbacks and flash-forwards? And sure the characters look interesting but some proper introduction would be nice :S Well it held my attention, so that is a major plus. |

| Is this another one of those shows which you have to watch when you're high? x.x |
  |
| Good start. So basically the pink haired dude used to work for that super hero association, but he doesn't anymore and is now hunted by them for disobeying their orders. Liked the art style, the soundtrack was good and I'm enjoying the wackiness of the setting. I have high hopes for this, as I feel it could end up being a better version of Kekkai Sensen. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
HaXXspetten said: Is this another one of those shows which you have to watch when you're high? x.x I think, it's more like one where you have to pay attention to small details and dates (pretty much like Punch Line and i really liked that one). The more i think about this episode, the more i like what i saw. I hope, they focus on storytelling and make it like Memento (i love that movie for it's unique storytelling), that would be sick. |
| I am not to fond with the MC having pink hair. Looks weird. Another thing, this reminded me of penguindrum, and it is also colorful. And that moon sailor change of clothes jaja |
| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
| It looks weird and confusing but for now I will watch it. |
| I'll give it 3 episodes but meh so far. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| I have no idea what i watched but i LOVED it 9/10 episode for me |
