| Dropped it after 9 minutes. That was almost as bad as Dragonaut. Gonzo seriously need to take CG lessons from Production I.G. Anyway, all I saw were motorcycles and boobs. Not something I can stand without a plot backing it up. |
| In the first part of it I was laughing because of that cyber mutated woman that rand around killing those bikers. In the second part we got some story and gave the show at least some potential. In the end it got quite predictable that the old man was going to come and kill that cyber junk. Well at least something I will watch some more episodes of. :) |
 |
| CG is pretty bad... I dunno if i'm gonna keep watching it. I shall wait and see after 3 episodes or something. Reminds me of Ergo Proxy somehow with the crazy machine-ish berserk things . _. |
     |
| it was ok, not gonna form an opinion till i see some more storydevelopment, although the cg is not that good and motorcycles arnt really my thing. |
| That was kinda lame. The characters aren't that interesting for now, the 3D animation is horrible (reminds me of dragonaut) and the story doesn't seem that great. I'll give it a few more episodes, but i'll probably end up dropping it. |
| way to slow paced if the next few episode r like this then im gonna drop it |
Leninha said: Dropped it after 9 minutes. That was almost as bad as Dragonaut. Gonzo seriously need to take CG lessons from Production I.G. Amen! That was choppy as hell. I found no complian on premis or story, but the 90's computer game graphics screamed "We skimped on the budget" |
 |
| liked it but not that great, walking on a thin line between continuing watching it and dropping it =/ |

| I thought this series seem cool :P |
 |
| hmm at first glance this seems kinda stupid. so far nothing flows. although i thought him taking the pill was sort of realistic. when youre down in the dumps you usually take the first rope you see. the animation not that great and the CG is rather rough. might wanna watch a few to see if its worth watching. |
| WOW. Motorcycles. God damn do I hate motorcycles. Sorry Amanda, your hotness is not enough to keep me from dropping this. |
| yea it was just making an ok episode. nothing to really have me pumped to watch the next one. |
gc said: You people bitch far too much Agreed. I have no opinion on this anime yet, save that I hope they tone down the bikes. Bikes are only cool in Kamen Rider or when they transform into other stuff. And merging with psuedo-zombies doesn't count. Still. Slow connection + much better shows to watch than this = On hold for now. Maybe I'll pester someone to get the series for me later after its done. |

AnimusNathan said: Rainulf said: eh? I think it was pretty good. I'm not going to criticize, since the story's still developing, so we'll see. Animation's really good, and so is the CG. Anyway, I think it was an awesome episode. I look forward for more. What are you talking about? The CGI is horrible and guessing by how the shading is on the characters they're CGI too. It's horrible. Why do people always say this about everything? "looks really good" etc. when it looks like total shit. Do you have no standards whatsoever? Sorry it's just that when people praise something like this(especially the worst aspect) it allows studios like LOL GONZO to continue making crap. SamuraiTom said: The whole motorcycle riding stuff doesn't click with me. The demoniac fusing with a motorcycle reminds me of that futuristic PS2 racing game, wish I can remember the name. The demoniac look pretty sweet although I also don't like the term, demoniac. Oh yeah! I remember the name of the game now, it's Kinetica. Yeah, Kinetica.. I also don't like Gerd. Overall, I think it was a nice first episode. Yea I feel like I'm watching a kids show(and yes I realize most anime is aimed at kids, but I mean this feels like its aimed at 5 year olds) where a kid would say "COOL BIKES!" and "COOL CARS!" and crap. I get the same feeling when there are too many damn dragons in an anime(lol dragonauts, aliens look like dragons.) The only thing I liked about this was the Pink haired girl because she was hot. Thats not good. agreed with this and fayli's comments mostly |
 |
| why do the Japanese insist on using CGI for anime lol. It makes the shows so horrible. Aside from that this series seems interesting. Since it's only the first ep we barely learned anything which made this suck. I'm hopping the next ep or the ep after they will explain some stuff. |

| I think that it is ignorant for people who hate/dislike something, yet try it anyway, and then complain. If you hate gonzo or CGI, why even try the show? I hate tomatoes, and I know this. So whether a menu hasd boiled tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, fried green tomatoes, or any other variety, I already know that I will not blike them, so I'm not stupid enough to order any. I just watched the first and second ep back to back, and I rather enjoy the series so far. I also watched the mkv's instaed of streaming because I don't do streaming. I'm not a fan of all CGI anime, but It doesn't bother me. I actually like the motorcycle action, as I like racing themed anime. So far this show is pretty cool by me, but then again,. i liked Dragonaut for the most part. |

I actually disagree, an ignorant act would be to never watch a show with CGI or eat tomatoes in your case. Either one could actually turn out to be good if served up right. So even though people hate the CGI used in this show (I actually don't mind it at all) they tried to watch it in hopes that the other aspects of the show made up for their dislike for the animation style. That is far from ignorant and actually very open minded. |

Fayli said: This is really bad, worse than Dragonaut and i didn't think that was possible. I'm dropping it and i never usually drop anime, epecially not after one episode. I didn't like the show either, but definitely not worse than Dragonaut. Nothing is worse than Dragonaut. On the anime: I've nothing against GONZO like most people here seem to be, although I think it's pretty biased to blatantly judge an anime to suck instantly, because XYZ made it. It's practically nonsense. However, from here, I have watched the first episode and I will say that it did sucked. The racing thing isn't anywhere near to getting me hooked. The animation, although supposed to be "cutting-edge" was weird. Really weird. The story doesn't pose as much substance either despite the promising plot summary. |
| Well, I was prepared for the worst, but it was "ok". I am from Germany, the country where the story takes part and it's always funny how jap. ppl imagine country and ppl. Though the uniform of the regular police was pretty much the real thing. There is a german F-1 pilot called Heinz-Harald Frentzen, so maybe there is some connection, too. Anyway I have seen worse shows. Let's try out ep 2 ... |
   |
| Well ep 1 was ok. The story seems intriguing at least and I like the anime style (I'm a GONZO sucker, go figure), but I think there's too much CGI, lame CGI. Guess I had my hopes too high up. Anyway, it was just the first episode. It will probably get better. ^^ |
| The story looks so good and some characters looks interesting. I'll continue this! And I like so much Gonzo (they fail with RxV but another shows are pretty good) and all that speech about "they ever fail with the anime shows in middle or end" its just an opinion not the Supreme Truth xD. For example in my opinion about the anime quality, MADHOUSE is worse than Gonzo : -Death Note (Plot Treatment and Ending is crap compared to manga) -Tenjou Tenge (Plot Treatment and Ending is crap compared to manga) -Claymore (Ending is crap compared to manga) -Gunslinger Girl (Ending is crap compared to manga and plot is sooo slow) -Ichigo 100% (100% crap compared to manga xD) Then the fail in RxV and Gantz is not too much against all that crap of Madhouse and still talking about Gonzo, Saikano and Chrno Crusade are adapted from a manga and both are amazing. See my point? Very people wil be disagree with me and that is perfect because this is my opinion. Any opinion in a forum are not the absolute truth =) Because that i dont believe in LOL Gainax, LOL Gonzo or LOL [insert Studio Name here] even if its Madhouse. For example i'm actually watching Allison & Lillia and I'm enjoying so much and i hope that keep good until the end. I dont judge an Anime Studio if a couple of titles are not good for me because I know that any studio can improve in the next anime or even make a holy masterpiece xD That's what i'm believe! Greets!! See ya later! Kouta~ |
  |
| hm well i'll keep following this series, it sparked my interest so i will see how the next episodes turn out. dunno what thsese things you talk about lol, i'm not 'that' much into anime anyways i know the quality of the episodes i watch is bad so i can't really grade the animation and artwork unless i get myself some nice HD version or something. i do hope the story picks up, so far all good for me, no big failing yet |
 MAL list updates |
| ok so one guy looked like hei from darker than black and then that weird doctor girl looked like the scientist from Code Geass. then there was some really bad cg animation and graphics. i really doubt i will continue watching past episode 5 |

Iriya said: Eh. I didn't think it was THAT bad but: -Gerd -demoniac term -CG was weird (although that might be because it was on cr and everything sucks there) +Shizuka Itou +sci-fi in general +no gigantic boobs in sight IN-DEED LOLZ |
| This reminds me of a show i use to watch on toon disney. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| there were some good cast of characters I think i need that drug too XD |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Great first ep!! |
 |
| Wow, I am impressed. This was a good episode. And when I heard Sayaka Ohara, I screamed in joy. My favorite seiyuu has a role in this anime! <3 5/5 |
 |
| Very slow pace and a so so start, not sure what I must think of this just yet... |
 |
| Not too impressed by this first ep. The CG is terrible in particular and very distracting. The characters seem pretty stereotypical too. I'll give a couple more eps. though. |

Iriya said: Like I said somewhere else, I don't care too much about which studio's making what. A show isn't bad until I see it become bad. This. I don't know why people are judging an anime base on the studio. So far it's looking good, a solid build up, good art, decent animation, and I feel that the CG suits the situation. And most of all, it's just the beginning, it's only just the first episode, and people are saying that this is crap, like.. wtf? |

| I liked this first episode. The CG is indeed very weird, but other than that, i like where this is going. |
 |
| First thought was.. my eyes can't keep up with the messy CG. The story isn't bad though I'm not sure what its about yet.. but very predictable for the first episode. Some of the characters were cool.. I hope it gets better. |
| Sports isn't my cup of tea dropped |
 |
| well that 3D animation really sucks |
 |
| Not a bad episode. For now, the story's interesting enough to continue watching but i'm not a fan of the CG but i'll get used to it. |
