| That CGI... As ironic as it is, if this had a better budget it's be such a better anime. I liked this, the execution was fluid and nicely done. Good set up for the 'SHIT JUST GOT REAL' stuff I guess. Will keep watching, definitely. Plus it goes well with my Extension English area of study classes so 2 birds, 1 stone. |

| After three episodes it still feels like mostly setup, and I'm just waiting for the actual show to start already. It's interesting though and it does enough to leave me intrigued in what's happening next. |
| Ara ara. |
| ^ Oh , the engrish here was one of the best ones i've heard in anime. CGI is really awful, good thing i got used to charcter design at least. But the story's interesting so far, and i'm totally enjoying this. |

| (Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster here. :)) Anyway... -In the opening, Mikuni is portrayed as the main antagonist. -Msyu and Q are both young slim girls with horns -Mikuni knows Kimimaro's father well -When asked about Kimi's father, the reporter glances at Mikuni. Mikuni pays him money -Mikuni has multiple assets. O_O |

| That lady's boss spoke english really well, is he a native speaker I wonder? Seemed like he was just deliberately talking slow to allow non-speakers to keep up with the japanese subtitles. |

O_O that looks very suspicious. if mikuni knew his father then, when before father died he entrusted his asset to mikuni. cause Q and msyu looks very similar and they seems to know eachother too. OR maybe he didnt even die yet but hes watching his son in the shadows. (but he doesnt look like that type father from the photo) whatever, we will see it when its over. |

| Could be possible, I was thinking something along the lines of Mikuni bankrupted Kimimaro's father |
akitoes said: Could be possible, I was thinking something along the lines of Mikuni bankrupted Kimimaro's father that is possible too because whats the reason why Mikuni is helping Kimimaro that much? could be that he feel guilty on killing Kimimaro's father and to pay it back is to make Kimimaro survive the financial district |
| Whoa now his teach is his second opponent, I don't think I will be surprise if his friend at the part time worker will be his possible opponent ! |
 |
| Can't wait for next ep . I hope the deals gonna be good but I got a feeling it's gonna be like his first deal (special attack at end) |

windy said: obviously mikuni can't be kimimaro's dad, but they're definitely going for something with the very close hair and eye colors. and they really should have gotten someone who can actually speak english to do jennifer's lines.... I agree completely. At first I kind of thought that mikuni was his dad or something along those lines, but I guess not. And the english on jennifers part was horrible. The anime is alright so far. I can't get enough of the opening ^_^ thats probably my favourite part. does anyone know how many episodes this series is going to be ?? |
maggiecz said: does anyone know how many episodes this series is going to be ?? its a Noitamina show and most Noitamina shows are only 11 episodes -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noitamina and ho seeing that wiki link confirms [C] for 11 episodes |
| Not enough Masakaki!! |
 |
| the cgi isn't really bad but people are freaking picky. story is still pretty interesting, he'll follow in his fathers steps it seems. I guess that guy at the end was a classmate? interesting I didn't really recognize him. |
 |
| i want more mashu! *---* anyway, i can't see the possibility of mikuni being kimimaro's father. isn't he like, twenty-thirty? and kimimaro is a student.. maybe i'm the only one, but i think that clown is awesome xD |
| I hope they fix the cgi, its ruining the experience for me. |
 |
| Q is so Q-te. ^-^ |
| Not that much action in this episode, but at least the story is progressing. Hopefully Kimimaro will get a grip and decide on something to fight for soon. Maybe his female friend? |

| LOL at the engrish. The blonde girl is cool. Her thinking is serious but the way she talk is childish lol. |
| Don't know why people say the animation is bad, It's decent enough for people to watch -_- |
 |
| Nothing much to comment really. This was more like manual for the series. So the world banks know of the Midas money an they haven't move to stop them huh? I wonder why. There is some skim behind the whole thing i presume. |
| The english was the highlight XD But glad that some of the info was cleared up. |
 |
origami-samurai said: Don't know why people say the animation is bad, It's decent enough for people to watch -_- Agreed. Some people are just to close minded and/or obsessive. Anywho, decent ep I gues. Was hoping to see the clash happen this episode though, rather then this randomness. |
| I feel I understand the show a bit more now, though I'm still mostly confused. I really hope they don't spontaneously reveal his dad is alive and the final boss. |
| Who was the dude in the end where he was going to fight?? I like it how they are getting people to explain to us how this whole district thing works. Engrish.. lol |
This ep definitely connected many dots for me. Finally, I UNDERSTAND!! |
Citrix said: Nothing much happening but so refreshing to watch an anime that wasn't have a fan service scene every 5 minutes. Damn right it's refreshing! LOL |
| Ha! They must have gotten a real American or someone who's actually fluent in English to speak for that white guy. The episode wasn't very exciting, but it was at least informative. And next week should be an interesting, and hopefully more balanced and challenging, battle.  |
 |
| That was an interesting ep~ o: I wonder who the person at the end was, a professor? xD |
 |
origami-samurai said: Don't know why people say the animation is bad, It's decent enough for people to watch -_- agree the animation is just serving it's purpose to be like that and it's pretty alright and fitting :) |
windy said: i wanted to give masyu a hug. poor thing. King_Moshi said: Q is so Q-te. ^-^ I agree with both. >w< |
 |
| Quality is just fine, if you ask me. So Mikuni has two assets? |
| it was good. btw what's up with Q? is she sleepy? lol |
This ep definitely connected many dots for me. Finally, I UNDERSTAND!! Definitely, people who think nothing happened in this episode should rewatch the second half and pay close attention :) Quality is just fine, if you ask me. So Mikuni has two assets? Yeah, people are too nitpicky about quality if you ask me ._. I think Mikuni has at least 3 assets (Episode 1 asset, Q, and the one who hangs out with Q) |

| Now there's something I haven't thought about...using money with the idea of helping someone? Hmm, right...interesting episode nonetheless... |
| nothing much agreed =D but even it's nice epi |
| Lots of explaining in this episode, and a psychological nightmare for children. ( Finding a corpse in their playground) |

MoonFox said: or they think that anime is funded by Pixar.origami-samurai said: Don't know why people say the animation is bad, It's decent enough for people to watch -_- Some people are just to close minded and/or obsessive. Anyways, had to pay quiet a lot of attention to this episode. Masakaki with less screen time is a no-no! (supporting character after all *sigh* Hmmm...so people do know about the Midas money flowing in the real world~ interesting. |

| I'm thinking more along the lines that Kimimaro's dad was part of Mikuni's guild, which is why Q questioned not inviting Kimimaro to the guild. Mikuni is interesting though, being set up at the antagonist but so far helping Kimimaro. |
| How many episodes will this anime have anyway? From the very slowly rolling out plot and some hint in outtro I assume 26, but if its 12 I'll really give up all my hopes after another such dreary episode. |
ShortTermCrook said: How many episodes will this anime have anyway? From the very slowly rolling out plot and some hint in outtro I assume 26, but if its 12 I'll really give up all my hopes after another such dreary episode. It's most likely going to have 11 episodes, like most noitaminA anime. |
 |
| While not much happened, it was still relatively an ok episode. At least we got more background information on the characters that seem to be part of the main cast. I'll be looking forward to next weeks episode, it looks like it could be interesting. I wonder if he is one of his professors? |
ShortTermCrook said: such dreary episode. Sure drop it, you won't like it anyway. If anything this episode saved the show, clarified a lot of things about the plot. It was necessary as a set up for future action (i.e., shit is going to get real very soon) |
