THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well, this is certainly one of those series with a totally different field to it compared to the others i seen. It must be scary if you are in a bus with people whose faces are being covered and hands being cuffed. The Opening theme is pretty good though^^

So they lost the fight even though it's 6 against 1? 0.0 that guard who show up sure deserve a beating.

The OP is amazing... I had high expectations from Coldrain, but it blew those expectations away.

Couldn't really understand too much watching it raw, except that I'll love the anime.

Yup, great opening sequence. A promising start to a very gritty series, no moeblob here, folks.

it looks interesting.. is it translated yet?

Woah woah woah, that opening was super awesome. Can't believe. I knew i picked the show right! It was awesome!

That OP was fairly awesome.

I have a feeling that the wait for subs will be a long one.

Well at least so far no gay-jokes around here... ^^°

Is anyone going to fansub this, I think this might be the only title this season that interests me.

Very AWESOME.

Saizen's project page says they're going to sub it.

Damn, I'm dying for some subs.

Yup, as best as I know it, they will be subbing the show.

Don't expect a fansub from Saizen to come out soon as what the current raw available is from streaming video on the net. They will most likely be waiting for the actual TV broadcast starting on 6 April to get hold of a better quality raw or the transport stream capture then.

I being wondering whole time during the anime.....Do you think Officer in the prison has the chance of becoming sadism??...
I felt that this story's ending gonna be very sad.The seven word that crave in the tree really bother me.six plus one equal seven right?I wonder izzit their last word....When i listen back to the female Narrator,I notice that she uses past-tense.....

Best first episode of the season. 10/10

And Best animation/opening theme/MADHOUSE :D

Indeed a very dark but touching first episode.
Filled with desperation yet hopeful, how ironic.
Heard that it's the mangaka's autobiography, but haven't confirmed it.
The outcome of history had a tremendous impact on the lives of the children at that time.
There is translation in Chinese.

Not the mangaka's autobiography, but heavily influenced by the experiences of the author of the story. In this case there was an individual author and an illustrator for the manga.
The author was a yakuza himself, was involved in gambling, fraud, several fights and went to youth prison in the 50's himself. He always struggled to be an author, but had problems in the direct post-war Japan and got involved with the wrong crowd.
So at least we can expect this to be more than a story pretending to know what it was like.

still eagerly waiting for subs...

Aargh, why is it taking so long for subs? C'mon, guys, I need my fix...

This.

I feel like bothering a few IRC channels right now.

Subs fucking where? A show comes out that's not about robots and magical jailbait, and nobody cares.
