| Why did Auntie has to suffer? I hope she isn't dead, though it looks like it. She is my favourite character so far!!!! Don't kill her. Kouga is now turning into the annoying character. Even if I haven't seen the manga yet, I feel that they skipped a lot of content. |

| Shoot. I wish they gave it more episodes. It feels super rushed. Lol @ his transformation (dunno why. XD) Gawd that music makes me cringe. |
| :O Wow i love this show its AMAZING |
 |
| LOL...WOW.. i can't believe we're already this far, damn, skipped so much content.. well if i didn't read the manga, I'd think it was a good episode, I also wouldn't feel like its missing anything as well, just fast paced I guess.. the anime is really getting down to the point, but I don't feel as much attachment or sympathy I guess on the characters if I had only watched the anime, and not read the manga, but I think episode 1 did make a good impact on me of the auntie character, even if i did not read the manga, in a way its just harder to understand the characters with the anime alone |

| I was really impressed by the first episode, but a few things seem off with this episode, something about the voices, disposition, and characterization... It's still very interesting, so i'll keep watching it... From what I'm reading, it seems that a heck of a lot is being cut from the manga, I guess it's to be expected of a 13 episode series, which is too bad... maybe I'll go read the manga later~ |
A pinky-promise ain't something you take lightly -- Sakata Gintoki GINTAMA... I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR LEVELED-UP RETURN!!!! I'M WAITING FOR YOU... KINTAMA!!!!!?!! For the rest of you waiting with me... GO READ GINTAMA NOW!! (start at 372 where the anime left off) And everyone else, GO WATCH GINTAMA!! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!! |
| This felt really rushed as an episode. The fight scene was all well and good, but I still haven't got a total feel for the characters. As for Kouga, he just reminds me a bit too much of Bunny (in a bad way)... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Oh my god. Shit's totally gonna go down next episode, hope Auntie isn't dead because she is a wonderful person. The story seems kinda all of the place so far, but it's interesting. Kouga's voiced by my favourite VA but he's kinda annoying. |
| Good episode,dancing with flames. Again the adaptation it was rushed and left many things out even so i most say it was not bad. The 3 peeps knowing each other change many things still its not that bad change even that i prefere the manga were they dont know each other until the fire. They still keep key parts but again it feel so rushed. Anyway they already 20 chapters in by this pace they really want to put a lot of shit in this first season.....next episode its going to be pretty good if they dont change many things...looking forward for it. |
| Hm... Episode is interesting but again feels a little rushed... I don't find transition to older characters bad... First episode was introduction, so we know who is Auntie, Konoha (love her btw), Kouga and to some extent why are those guys after him, while second one starts of the story. Fight was awesome, and I get a feeling author was inspired by some DC Universe comics. Anyway good episode, stays a solid 8 on my list (simply because I didn't read manga, so I can't be disappointed) P.S. I hope Auntie lives, if she dies I'm gonna rage... |
 |
| Still very boring. Are we supposed to care for Auntie? She had what, 4-5 scenes altogether? |
| Maybe its just me, but I for one really wanted them to skip jin's childhood. I don't think I would've cared about it much, just get to the main bulk of the story :S 5/5 Definitely one of the animes that I'm likely not gonna drop this season. |
| Too many changes and skipping of content. Auntie got much more development in the manga. Should have been a longer series. In the manga the scene where Jin remeets Konoha was different (for censorship purposes?) I wonder how the censors will deal with chapter 44: Orgy. |
| Nice anime, great animation, the plot so far seems to be a bit simple, but I still like it . But it has a great flaw for me (I may be the only one to think that) : the main heroine caractere (Konoha) . No matter how I see her she is the annoying type >_> (useless but still want to take part in what she sould not...type) But it seems many people like her.. well good for them ^^ . |

| Am I the only one who lol'd at Kouga's "Boku wa seigi ni naru!"-line with Miyano Mamoru's voice? x'D He sounded like Light for a second. xD The episode felt rushed a little but I like it for now. |
| This episode made me hate Kouga, but I'll see what happens in future episodes. |
| It seems they're trying to adapt 1 volume per episode, a this rate we're gonna have a full adaptation with only 13 episodes... this almost makes me laugh |
glitchhunter said: Don't remind me, I just went through it. I FELT LIKE RIPPING THAT GUY. Anyway, black screens of death and skipped scenes/ taken out IMO.I wonder how the censors will deal with chapter 44: Orgy. amginex said: I can always have hope now.Yumekichi11 said: amginex said: WTF you talking about? She could be tranquillized for all we know. They did not show what came out from the gun and only that it was shot. These gun can be made for darts. However if she is dead there shall be RAGE is all I can really say.yea, watching the anime is obvious they cut out so many stuff out even if you havent read the manga. its really fast paced and skips alot. but from what little they show (out of a whole in manga) there is a coherent plotline that you can follow. im still po-d they killed "auntie" already. i thought she deserved more airtime and her relationship with jin. oh well eh, from the fast paced of this show. its safe to assume shes dead already. |
| Good episode. But all those justice shitz are ticking me off. 3.5/5 |
 |
Wired-Abyss said: I think Kouga is going to be a super annoying character. He seems super naive, and he's going to end up stealing all the credit from Jin. I can honestly see Kouga getting super jealous of Jin. D: I feel that way too, though I hope that doesn't happen... Besides being worried about auntie, the episode was good. The action scenes are superb (: The rest feels rushed though. |
| Love to hear Miyano Mamoru's voice, but I think he's to good for this show - it feels a litte weird. |
 |
| They skipped a lot and a lot of things that seemed worst comparing to the manga. But well.. |
| this show should had more episodes,13 is not enough |
| I'm just going to take this show as a spin off of Zetman and a modern day Devilman. They cut out so much shit and its going so fast. So they going to kill off auntie in minutes just like they did gramps next episode. I wonder who is going to die next week. |
| Is that huge time skip actually covered in the manga? It really sucks if it'll keep skipping chapters so fast. |
kaname92 said: Is that huge time skip actually covered in the manga? It really sucks if it'll keep skipping chapters so fast. Yeah it actually is and if u watch this episode. Read chapters 15-23 and you'll see how much content they cut just from this episode alone. Most animes covers like 3 chapters per episode. This show covers like 10 chapters and changes the situations and dialogues. lol |

| Fantastic episode once again, even though the production values dropped significantly. The script is extremely gritty and cruel, yet just perfect. It's like Tiger & Bunny (which was already good) done right. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Mother of Rush! 0_0 For people who is a big fan of the manga version, this will be a let down. I have read the manga but I will take this anime as an independent version of it. The first episode is not bad, but this second one is just..! 0_o. All bunch of scenes were skipped and it does not make any sense, since the story for this second ep is not smooth at all because of that! Like other people said, this is more like a recap then an actual story flow. I can understand since they are only allowed with just 13 eps, but this is... I guess I will have to stay with it until the end to see how the story actually end. |
 |
| Absolute shit. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| I just read some more of the manga its like a damn Hentai. LOL. I did stop reading it around chapter 40. Got sick of them not focusing on the main character. I do hope the anime skips a lot of that. |
| They had to change things to fit the entire story, people will continue to bitch about it, which is pretty funny to me. |
[center] |
| The fight was worth watching if nothing else but the episode was good. I like Konoha but don't like her grandpa. Poor Jin lost her Auntie. I thought she would remain more in the episodes. 9/10 |

bonifide said: NO NOT LIKE THAT! Not at all , you are wrong. It certainly is borderline and hard. However it's like Gantz. In it you see sex on the DVDs but not genitals or details shown other than nipples and ass. That's what it will be IMO.I just read some more of the manga its like a damn Hentai. |
| Strangely enough, it was a "good" episode, more development; although the time skip, and the presumed death at the end was a bit rushed. Enjoyable watch, enjoyed the new ED. |
 |
bonifide said: Got sick of them not focusing on the main character. Actually Jin isn't the main character all by himself. It's clear since the first page of the manga ( That is actually the Prologue ) that Kouga is, at least almost, as important as him. |
| Starting to see Kouga vs Jin moments coming into development, it will be interesting to see that play out. Another awesome ep, can't wait for more. :D |
| there are so many subtle differences that added up together literally makes this anime an "alternate universe" from the manga. The way Konoha was supposed to meet jin was completely different, and i dunno, it's bugging me since I have read the manga... |
| The KougaxJin relationship reminds me to Gungrave. I should read the manga tho, that jump from ep 1 to 2 was way too abrupt. Also, i loved the grown-up Konoha. |
| is it just me or does it feel like a seinen manga turned into a battle shounen anime? -.- im not complaining about the anime- but it feels like all its really going to be is a shounen battle anime- with battles in every episode- and people that look like super heroes... -.- thats the impression the anime gives off- the batman kinda vibe like someone mentioned earlier. The manga is NOT like that though. its not a battle manga- its SEINEN- it has a more complicated plot and more depressing atmosphere... it feels like the anime changed the vibe and atmosphere completely. the fight scenes were nice- gotta admit that- and i like it generally... but well... the manga isnt focused on super heroes and battles every episode. It feels like the anime will be though. i dont like how they changed the format. i understand they have so much to work with and so little time to do it... thats why i respect this adaptation to an extent... but it feels like they completely missed the point and exposition of the manga... at this rate- its a miss for me- i dont want another batman or battle anime- i wanted something with a more indepth plot and a darker atmosphere... something more complicated... thats what the manga provided- but i doubt the anime will... i will watch as much as i can stand at this rate- cause like i said, i do respect it... but i dont know im going to finish it at this rate... i'll try, but idk... its a little bit disappointing- (thats based off of the fact its an adaptation, as a stand alone its perfectly fine, just not my type- but as an adaptation, it doesnt share the same atmosphere as its counterpart. thats my bottom line. ) |
| I hope his aunt isnt dead, but in the preview of the next episode, he says Why did you kill auntie? So I can only assume she is dead :( |
  |
| I can tell this series is going to be rushed |
| Oh crap, looks like the lady who adopted him didn't survive the second episode. Poor Jin. :( |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
