Damn, that was good.
It made no sense. It was all over the place. It was chaotic. It was good!
People start watching a show and already have a high bar of expectations set. No wonder they disliked it.
The design is just a lil' bit different! Which is ffs good. Before watching it I was thinking how generic the character designs are in the majority of the animes today.
This anime deserves a bit of respect, at least it has a distinct feel, personality. Who knows, it might turn out to be real bad, but at least the first episode showed some promise!


Made sense to me. You just have to think a bit more

Love how Inga said she couldnt hold it in as if she was talking about peeing. Then she turns into an adult. nice

Sorry, I should have explained myself better. What didn't seem to make sense was how the episode was presented. No real introduction of the main character, world, objectives or struggles. They didn't really introduced the show at all. Judging by the preview, I guess that will happen next episode. Overall, I enjoyed it.

That time I thought Inga was the one to start the trouble, since Yuuki stated that something would happen at that party. lol

Quite a weak start but still I really enjoyed it. I really like Yuuki's voice, damn it suits him. Inga is so weird that it's awesome, his grown up 'feminine' side, owow. xD For me, I thought we didn't see much of Yuuki much, more of the girl in the blue. I hope she's one of the main characters in the series, kinda like her, but I doubt that'd happen. When Inga said 'I can't hold it anymore' I thought he was gonna pee. :S Also the start of the episode seemed interesting, story's gonna be a bit deep? :D Anyhow, good on Bones, Un-Go looks pretty good so far.

Also was that a Hei cameo in the OP LOL xD Darker than Black Season 3 hint?! xD

I was about to ask the same thing.
I, for some reason, really like this art style.

^ this. Probably one of the reasons why I like this art style.

This whole time I thought Inga was a girl in normal form. He sounded like one too. Oh well, I like freaky,weird characters like him, especially his character design.

It has potential.
Though the sheer amount of character introductions kind of overwhelmed me (Couldn't tell who would be "important characters" throughout the show or just important for this one episode/case)....It was done well enough to spark my curiosity and I'll be checking out more episodes.
Hopefully they explain Inga & Shinjirou a little more in later episodes....I'd hate it if they saved all that background explaining for episode 0 only....

That was pretty boring. Uninterested failed crime mystery, do not want. But i'm kinda liking that gender-changing Beato wannabe so i'll stick with it unless it gets unbearable, maybe it'll even get better with time, who knows. ┐('~`;)┌

I didn't notice the art style too much, just after reading people's opinion on here, huh.

I like chibi-Inga's creepiness. =) Those scenes were well portrayed.

While the case was obvious I think this might be more interesting as the background of their world and circumstances are revealed. I think people looking for a good mystery will be disappointed.

The best part of the episode was the intro. "Am I dead?" "You've already died" Spooky.

I hope this series is not just a mystery of the week type of anime though.

I think it will be 'mystery of the week' but unlike dective conan or kindaichi, each mystery will probably be linked and form part of an even bigger mystery. With only 11 eps, I dont think this series can afford the luxury of being episodic in the manner of which those two can be where there are long stretches with no plot progression.

I actually liked the episode, despite all the negativity from the early impressions crowd. I thought it had an interesting art style, great music, and surprisingly mature political theme. It could go anywhere from here, but based on all the set-up involving the main cast, my guess is this will be episodic in terms of case structure but linear in terms of character development, which looks to be the most interesting aspect at this point. Besides, BONES isn't THAT bad.

I have to say I like this anime, and that's coming from someone that absolutely hated things like GOSICK and Kami-sama no Memocho.

The art appeals to me (don't know why, like a clean, stark look I guess), the characters seem cool (especially the detective, finally one that's not a pussy), and the OP and ED were pretty good (good enough to get me to look for downloads). It's nothing EXTREMELY special, but I give it an 8 for the first episode. Let's see if it picks up speed.
And what if all love is an act of bravery?

Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?

Oh wow, Noitamina is awful this season. Even No. 6's mediocrity was better.

Thanks, Japan! Another lame murder-mystery, with bland and uninteresting characters, uninspired mysteries, and ridiculous motives. WORST WIFE EVER; and what a dumb reason to kill her husband.

Can they not make good mysteries anymore?

Best post of the thread.

Show seems to be pretty decent. Really like the art style, and the mains seem interesting enough....a little disappointed that Inga becomes walking fanservice, if not just because her...his...whatever's child form has a much more interesting design. Well, Bones hasn't COMPLETELY disappointed me yet, so we'll see how ep 2 goes.

After Madoka and the wiiiiide faces now we have UN-GO and the loooong faces.

Well i must say although i enjoy senein atmosphere the episode just wasn't strong enough, lots of characters thrown in first time didn't help ether. The show needs a more wholesome plot that will make things interesting and more heartwarming characterization.
Lats see how it goes. For now is mediocre.

Btw anyone saw that Hei copy-cat guy? Or does this show have contractors? I guess that weird kid/woman was something like a contractor.
