What a fun, high paced episode. Both Momo and Ken got into such messy situations but both of them are now believers that's for sure lol

Jesus Christ that was so much better then I expected. I can absolutely tell this was made by a massive film nerd due to tall the tiny details, camera works, perspectives, proportions, transitions and references to other works and films. I loved picking up every single detail and be impressed how it was chosen. Loved every single second of the cinematography. Even aside that the animation, voice acting and action was incredible, and the chemistry between the two is amazing. Loved it a lot and I'm excited for the rest. Too bad I gotta rush it so I can watch the season 2 movie in the cinema in like 3 days. This episode took me like an hour to watch cus I was replaying every second 3 times. But ye I loved it. Also the opening is impeccable, one of my favorites in a long time.

Yeah its good, animations great, mc's are cool, plot's alright and the spirits and aliens thing is unique.

This show moves extremely fast to the point that I feel overwhelmed. Also all of the sexual comments and the rape scene did not make me enjoy this. I'll stick it out for a little more at least. The two main characters have interesting chemistry.

Check out my retrogaming blog, EfreetEater.
I also make games
and anime/game-influenced vapory musick.

I finally saw the first episode, better later than never.

Everything is good, except for those sexual jokes that are very out of context. It's the only thing I did not like in the episode.

With both aliens and ghosts it could be a great series.

Very strange but entertaining for sure. Feels a little like monogatari but on acid and speed at the same time. I'm willing to hop on this bizarre alien ghost train and see where it leads.

the dub of dan da dan is so good it feels like it was supposed to be in english. the animation is also astounding for an anime.

i can't talk about this episode without bringing up the sexualisation of minors. it's very odd. i don't know why they needed to do all that. but i'm willing to keep watching because the story and animation are so fire.

overall, i was very pleasantly surprised by this! i understand the hype!

The animation is refereshing, it was quite a peak episode to open up. I didn't expect that the first epsiode would be about s*x abduction though

well it looks like it seems pretty decent so far. I like that there is some ULTRA stuff in there with the alien looking like dada and the ultra beam! being featured as well and i hear there are some other aliens that look like other ultraman aliens too so thats awesome. the creator certainly has some good taste. ;)

Great first episode to be honest, really liked the episodic pacing and really looking forwards to see what this anime has to offer!

And one thing I will always think of when reading this anime's title is how Isao Sasaki sings the Dangaurd-Ace Opening! (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=foGmItc40RE)

I didn't know anything about this show going into it, but so far I love it! The art style reminds me of something from the 90s. I'm ngl, a certain scene in this episode was kinda hot.

Just a lonely, old soul who found anime late in life and is now using it as a distraction for sadness. Check my about me for animes I've seen and like.
I'm always open for new anime recommendations, please PM me and help me distract.

Very fun pilot episode with lots of action, uncanny humor and vivid animation. Some timid scences would be nice, but if the animation can keep up with this level, I assume a very good first season.

How is the score of this anime so high? It's bullshit! There's more anime much better that this idiotic one.... Where's the plot? It's mediocre....
