| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I didn't expect too much going in but that was a pretty good first episode. The little monkey has got some impressive skills :P |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| Haha, the little monkey gets funny later, but if you stick with it, I think you'll find yourself liking this series. It has a lot of loveable quirks, lol. |

| the monkey....he's a oddball in this series but its good to have him since the story gets a bit tense as it goes along. |
| Whoa, this was quite weird yet, it was really good. I simply loved the monkey, he kick so much ass xD |
Antarael said: Mhh don't like the animation though...but..i'll give this series a chance...the "monkey" really was quite good xp can fight..sleeping on heads....rofl character I thought that the animation was really unique. I got used to it after watching the first 15 minutes of the episode. This is probably one of the hilarious episodes I've watched so far, especially the part when Toshihiko kept saying, "The path of the sword!" or something in that line. And lol at the Yuka heads. Like one of the reviewers said, I first thought that Kemonozume is a little reminiscence of Romeo and Juliet because they, belonging to feuding factions, fell in love at first sight. Also, that was a marvelous love scene. XD |

| That animation style really is a fresh breeze to anime world, it's not superb quality or anything like that, but change freshnes things up. |
| Wow, that monkey was really badass.. I was totally not expecting that. |
| Holy god, that was a great first episode. Way to hook me. And the animation is superb. |
 |
| So much quality animation. |

| This was one of the best first episodes I've seen in a while. I also like the unique art. This looks very promising :) |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| wow. awesome animation.... and a very strong first episode! i <3 to the monkey! and killer love-scene... ;3 |
  |
| I had my doubts about this show mainly because of the strange art style but it turned out to be really good.Especially the second half of the episode was totally awesome. |

| Looking back, when I started watching this series I was just so weirded out by this episode, I thought it was cool though lol. |
| love the art style. I'm hooked c: |
 |
| unique anime is unique |
 |
Eh, very strange series so far along with the edgy artwork. After this scene, my mind was mindfucked. |
 |
| Nice start. Weird artstyle, but the actual animation is good, lots of movement. |
 |
| It was okey, didn't like the jazz and the art style/animations to much rather it bothered me :/ the concept is pretty cool and already putting in some dangerous stuff for a first episode in that ending. Lets see what this story has to offer! |
 |
| Nice first episode. The premise is pretty basic, but I liked the backstory in the beginning and I also like the artstyle. |
| Can't really say I like this series . . . The only things different from this series and other series is the Artwork, and the fact that the MC had sex in the first episode . . . The plot is rather basic and the rest of it is well . . . I'm praying this wasn't considered a good series just because the artwork . . . Which too be honest, isn't unique but rather lazy given when this series was made. |
 |
| Probably one of my all time favorite first episodes, that opening scene is so fucking good. |
| What a great first episode! Had me hooked to the series. you get used to the animation style very soon and i think it actually compliments the story. loved it! |
| "When you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming Signore Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli that's amore" |
| Really interesting first episode. Music was pretty cool too and I think seeing some of Yuasa's other works had gotten me used to the art style. |
 |
| I have never watched an anime who took love-at-first-sight so literally. Lol they had sex the second sight. Loved it. |

| 10/10 so far |
 |
| That's a way to kick off a show. I want that monkey on my side. |

| Love at first sight. Wow. I was like no way fucking way when Yuka also ran to the beach. During the "action" I wonder if Yuka was holding back her urges, like if they get excited their urge to eat humans rise or something or if Yuka was just losing control of her form because of the good lovin'. |
| Holy shit, WHAT AN AMAZING FIRST EPISODE! When they first locked eyes on the beach I felt like the soundtrack from Blade Runner had arrived lol. Also, when he was stood in the rain with all the noise whirling around him and he turned and saw her and the noise faded out to a joint heartbeat, even with the rain still pounding down. Like damn. Shit was good. mayukachan said: uh hm okay Pirating_Ninja said: Can't really say I like this series . . .

| Haha MC, going right for the sex. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| want a mokey like that and a mosnter fuk |
   |
| Ah, this was real fun :) I should not have put off watching a Yuasa show like this |
| lol that's a weird opening and intro,he got betrayed xd what stupid op. |
 |
| That jazz OP is glorious. Excellent second half and that Yuasa style is as beautiful as ever. |
 |
| That moment when you find your waifu. The monkey is OP lol. |
 |
| This is how you do an introduction episode! I had to rewatch this episode three times! Such an amazing presentation. Also that monkey is adorable as hell :3. I hope he won't get hurt! |
     |
| This is probably one of the best first episodes I've ever watched. The directing is absolutely brilliant. Great introduction to the world and the overall tone, animation and soundtrack was excellent. |
| Oh forbidden love. Art, animation, presentation are all pretty nice as expected. Intriguing first episode overall. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The studio has take several creative liberties in visual style and animation, which is very fluid with little attention to detail. I like how the plot, characters development and story is well established early in the episode. Probably one of the best first episodes for an anime ever. Overall a masterfully produced show; scenes, sound quality and editing are amazing. Besides the content the team behind the show is just demonstrating that irrespective of content they can produce amazing anime. |
| Really interesting 1st episode, actually looks to be somewhat of a Romeo x Juliet beast edition |
 |
| Damn, most anime relationships require a couple of seasons before the couple hold hands. These two get it on after knowing each other for less than 30 seconds. I like the style of this anime, at any rate. The monkey was hilarious and I was surprised by how easily it folded the younger brother. Personally speaking, I've never really enjoyed Yuasa Maasaki's works that much. His work (except for Tatami Galaxy) usually starts to bore me after the initial novelty of his wacky artstyle and characters wears off, so I'm hoping this one maintains some semblance of consistency. |
