| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| Alright, the animation is nice and all, but this is not my Ga-Rei. Still, it's interesting enough so I'll continue watching it. I actually really like the dark tone they're doing. OTL at black blur censorship. Hopefully, there will be an actual adaption of the manga animated after this series. *desires animated Kagura* |

| never heard of the show but sounds interesing |
 |
| Looks interesting - but I think I'm confused - have made the mistake of reading manga and it is totally different... |
| Why don't they just put this into some promotional DVD instead ? Natsuki reminds me a lot of the girl from Shin Angyo Onshi. The creepy white haired guy, CMIIW, that's Mitokawa from the comic version ? |
angel999 said: THE STUPID BLACK CENSORING THEY USE JUST LIKE IN ELFEN LIED TV. SERIOUSLY WTF????   stupid censure!!! |
     |
| So...I went into this not knowing what to expect...When I saw the orange jump suits I thought Ghostbusters for some reason...then they really ended up fighting some kind of invisible plasma zombies. Then a flaming dinosaur appeared! As if all that wasn't enough everyone ended up dying by the end of the episode. Honestly I'm not sure what to think of it after all that. Although the one thing that I will praise is the soundtrack. It was both well done and well placed throughout the show. The animation was also nice, although that censoring was terrible. Maybe I'll come back to this one when it gets subbed, maybe I won't. It will probably depend more on how much other stuff I decide to watch. |
| Sounds interesting, who is subbing ? |
 |
| Apparently sMi will, they havent released an ep yet though: http://www.fansubwiki.com/Who_Subs_What:_FALL_2008 |
| I want a ep with the REAL characters with thee REAL storyline.... |
 |
| sMi has released the first episode. That was quite a turn of events at the end. I definitely didn't expect everyone to die that quickly. |
 |
| hmm so this is like a prologue or something. everyone got annihilated, thats kinda of interesting. must suck even more to be killed by the gf you thought you killed haha. |
| that was pretty weired, so did everyone die? lol |
| so..everybody..died c.c..someone explain this to me xd |
 |
| that was actually pretty good! the main guy kinda reminds me of the main character from darker than black... |
 |
| Natsuki and her motorbike battle was hot <3 but man what an end. that was just awesome. everything before it though was just good. |
 |
| Just based off the description I'd say this episode was to setup the rest of the series and show you what the world is like. The next episode will more than likely start following the manga characters. That said the action was incredible, can't wait for more. |
 |
| Fuck i went WOW when Natsuki was fighting literally with her motorbike. Crazy shocking ending makes me want more, eventho its not the same as the manga. really might be a prequel. That Class A was hot too tho, with the blade~ |

| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| Hmm so they start off by basically killing off all the characters they just introduced. So this means that we will get a prologue following Yomi's downfall and eventually leading towards the introduction of Kagura and the manga's protagonist. I personally don't mind them showing how Yomi kicked ass prior to the events of Ga-Rei. The girl in the seifuku might be Yomi... Episode wise, kick ass! |

| That was the most amazing first episode ive seen for an anime in a long time o_O....so this isn't based on the manga? Or is this just an intro to the world of the manga? Either way it was completely AWESOME with the motorcycle battles and the amazing end....I want more! The music was amazing as well. |

 |
| OK.... what just happened?? killing of all the characters in the first episode... this just has me waiting to see the next episode. and that girl using her bike to fight the ghost was the best scene i have seen. |
 |
| One more chance and I'm leaving this anime... As I keep watching this, I keep thinking that Shaft would have done an awesome job :S They should at start getting on with the main storyline by epi 2... right? |
| what a weird firs episode... about 85% of the ep i thought: "too much action. no character development. nice animation. good voices. it'd be sad if the characters stay that flat for the whole series just for the sake of action scenes even though they had so much potential. but maybe they just want to grab the attention of the people and the storyline will start with the next ep. kind of like a teaser" well and the ending surprised me big time... all the characters that i so hoped to get more background information on - they all died... and now i read that these were all characters that don't exist in the manga... cant get my thoughts about that together but i'll definitely watch episode 2. let's hope there's a little more character development before they slaughter the next set of main characters (lol) |
 |
| Hmm.. This anime should not end quit, it might be some others anime that start with an intro and begin the story on the 2nd episode, when that guy meet that girl. I dunno how is it on the manga thought. |

| WTF!! why everyone are dead?! and the preview of the series not related to what happen in ep 1! |
| what the hell was that??? how is this related with the manga....?? btw wtf happen to the girl with the sword... in the flashback she tells the guy with the orange suit to kill the girl and now she kills the whole teams? well lets wait for episode 2 the anime is said to be taken after the manga... so lets wait |
 |
| WTF weirdest show ever, but i have to admit it, everyone is BADASS. |
| |
| uhm.. I didn't see that one coming... a weird cliffhanger, but a cliffhanger none the less - guess I have no choice but to watch the next episode. |
| ~five exclamation marks is the sure sign of an insane mind~ |
| When I started this, I was comparing this to Chrono Crusade. In the end, I was seeing similiarities with Ghost in the Shell. But, couldn't care less. Natsuki was showing copious amounts of badass from start to finish, especially the scene where she dealt a roundhouse kick to the Category Cs with her fucking motorcycle. Hell, I want tyre threads like hers too while I'm at it. I can't wait for the second episode, and maybe a proper OP and ED next time. |

| nice nice! i cant wait for ep. 2.. everyone was dead already o.o ep.1 was really nice! |
     |
| does anybody knows if this is a short or long series? |
 |
| Good start to the series I hope they air a uncensored version |
  |
| As previously said: WTF. |
  |
| Whaaa- everyone died? Wow I have to say it was awsome, but I'm kinda surprised. What will happen in the next ones if everyone is dead already? Anyway, lots of blood. Cool. |
 |
| Good start in a serie I would say. Probably some scene of (from the viewpoint of the speculated second ep) the past that we saw now, but honestly I have no idea. Except for the censoreship this looks great and I'll look forward to more. |
 |
| Was the sMi version censored too? Had enough blood for me... :) As others have said, WTF? I'll have to watch the next episode too... |
| finished watching it,don't want to upset people since everyone here liked it,but i found it very dissapointing,especially with all the great comments it has received,lots of unintentional humor,the dialogs were pretty cheesy for a series(or at least this episode) that tries to be serious,it's a dissapointment for me but at least not as much as with real drive u_u |
| |
| Awesome soundtrack and awesome ending. Interesting enough to keep watching. |
     |
| I LOVED IT :O sure, it's different from the manga, but oh man. I LOVE IT! |
| ditto with the WTF but man i have to admit, that was one of the most intense first eps i have seen in a while. actually did anyone notice that a lot of action/supernatural/gore anime are in this fall's lineup? much like how there were lots of harem/school/comedies a couple of seasons back :P anyways, good show. gotta watch the 2nd ep but i hope that first ep wont be the last ep. (you know telling the story backwards or something). that would be a pain in the ass |
 |
| :o Was not expecting that. Looking forward to more. |
| Will you stop censored that killing spray, for the sake of anime? GAREI - ZERO - episode 02 |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| That was a a crazy awesome first episode... -The music was sick -The animation in the beginning was choppy but it got MUCH better later on -I've wanted a motorcycle since my sophomore year in high school and I am now seriously envious of Natsuki. -Mami with the "See you in heaven" made me go "oh shit! crazy!" -The jumpsuit def. aren't my taste... Ghostbusters anyone? Swap them in for black leather and I'm sold. The censoring ruined an otherwise 5/5 first ep. P.s. WTF! they all died!!!??? I'm still tripping out! wasn't even planning on watching Ga-Rei *sigh* alas my list continues to grow |
