Did NOT expect this first episode to be this good. I didn't want it to end. o.o
Feels like this anime came out of nowhere. Better then most of the ones that already came out this winter.

Plot was very interesting, the character's powers were entertaining to watch with good visual effects. Didn't expect the cliffhanger at the end. Looks promising so far!

Never see the original, but this has peaked my interest. I'll watch a few more to see if I stay all season.

I came across this on accident but it seems decent so far. I haven't seen the parent show so I really don't know what is going to happen or the plot so hopefully it turns out good.

i didnt watch any of the prequel shows/ovas but the first thought in my head after watching the OP was "i hope this isnt another code breaker garbage show"

I really hope this doesn't turn into another code: Breaker


Please please!!! People!! Code:Breaker anime was awful! It would have been good for those new to anime but bad for those who are otakus. BUT!! this doesnt mean you can put down a story like that! :( I swear the Code:Breaker manga is just plain AWESOME!! the anime doesn't do justice to the manga at all!! I beg all those who were initially interested in trying out the anime, to read the manga..from the beginning. Please please please. It is really really good!! :D

Back to Kyousuke. I purposely watched ZKC for this, since it was one of the few interesting ones in this season, and I hate being the kind who lacks information about the series' world to follow the story (eg. Eureka Seven, Aquarion). I really like ZKC a lot, so this episode was a treat in bringing back the characters. As much as this is an original spin-off and that the mangaka has clarified that it is not related to the manga (or so i've heard), I still find myself trying to piece together the time frame that they stand in ZKC. But since during the ending, we have the ex-scientist from BABEL, Okama, and Mio looks like a teenager now, it might be sorta like a paraquel to the current story? side story that doesnt influence The Children?

Animation was pretty cool with the powers and sorts~ Makes Kyousuke look invincible. I really thought Hinomiya would become "friends" with Kyousuke with their interactions in jail since he was really convincing in telling us that he wasn't quite aware of much. Though the opening sequence (do i spot Minamoto?) and that scene before the ending tells otherwise. Interesting to see where the story will go.

Does this anime carry on with the story of the parent series or is it a standalone one i.e. can be picked up without watching the original one and without missing any context?
see this topic: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=542900

Ah, I was scanning this thread for similar questions but completely forgot to check out the forums. Thanks; I guess I'll give this anime a shot then.

Definitely got a Geass feel from the animation and the ending
. Haven't seen the prequel or whatever, but this looks like it has potential.

Haven't seen the original, nor am I planning to, might read the first couple of chapters from the manga to see what it's about instead. (though I'll doubt it'll catch my interest, it doesn't seem like my type of series)

It seems Manglobe is up for another great show of theirs, these guys can do amazing stuff, especially when it comes to animation.

First episode was great, animation was also great. I'm just hoping they'll try to make this anime as a stand-alone project for new viewers to understand what's going on.

This episode had me hooked from the start. The animation reminds me of Code Breaker which hopefully this is better than and the OP and ED were enjoyable. Can't believe the Andy guy is a spy but someone on here already said that they are aware of it.

Two words . Pure Awesomeness .

I had doubts about Manglobe making a spin off about the ZKC franchise and thought that it might turn into another HnG: CTMEOY . Good thing I was proved wrong just from it's first episode .

At first I thought making Hyoubu look like full on steroids would be bad , but I never thought it's gonna be this fckin bad ass . And how they portrayed esper powers was epic awesome .And Hyoubu's limiter release was freakin awesome gave me goosebumps in his SSJ4 form . lol .

And that Andy dude is plain awesome as well .He can activate different ESP at will . And those ECM didnt even affect him that much just like Hyoubu .I think that he's a perfect product of a government experiment .That's why he's working with them now to infiltrate PANDRA .But how did he knew that Hyoubu will be coming in that island ? What if Hyoubu didnt come in that island , then their plans are gone to waste ? They better explain it in the next episodes .

And the other character designs , Magi still looks like ... Magi , he didnt changed much .Minamoto and Sakaki changed into a much serious face judging from that freakin awesome OP .And all others changed by some amount .

Im expecting a lot from the ZKC franchise and I hope that Manglobe doesnt let us down like those other anime .

My guess is that this happened in the two years that got skipped in the manga. I forget the details, but Kyousuke returned to Japan in the middle school arc, so he was out doing serious stuff before that.

Hyoubu reminded me of Lelouch then the background music reminded me more of the theme that played in Code Geass.

There are a lot of new watchers, and the first episode was understandable. I read somewhere that the author said newcomers can enjoy this show without any prior knowledge of the original story, so you're not alone in this. :P

This was way better than I expected it to be. That guy is a spy but the OP guy probably already knew that. Next episode will have lead flying and what not. I wonder if the story will be good.

So....... Touma met Accelerater, and they became instant rivals. Accelerater has grown to level 6. He not only can control vectors but also does teleportation, and has a God-mode where he can controls practically every elements. However, with all that upgrades, he is still a cocky sonofabitch. Touma still has his Imagine Breaker, but better physique, and other unknown upgrades. Index somehow got younger while still is a strongest in the series. Espers can upgrade to level 7. Religion lost the war with Science so now Espers fight normal humans instead. Accelerater protects Index this time while Touma become a temporary antagonist :D *rant off* \m/

Seriously, this anime kicked asses, instant following. I know that Manglobe is never a disappointment in their sci-fi, supernatural shows. Animation is more crisp but the color is still too dark. I can hardly see what was going on with Ergo Proxy and now this :(

Yes glad to see I'm not alone! Like a loli version of her :d. Pretty cool series, I'm surprised I missed this when it was airing. It does remind me of Code Breaker but hopefully it strays from CB's path of disappointment and mediocrity.

So, Hyoubu Kyousuke is the boss & he's really OP
Andy is a spy.. but maybe he'll betray his own boss and join Accel-.. I mean Hyoubu
Definitely cool series.. I'm looking forward for it!!

That's one cool way to start an episode. The first 3 minutes were action packed. Kyousuke is a monster and I knew he wouldn't take a punch from that security guard lying down.

I wonder what PANDRA stands for but I suppose we will be learning about the organization next episode.

I'm a bit surprised that Andy is actually an investigator. How the heck they planned all of this is beyond me.

I have not watched the original series and I don't plan to but this was pretty cool.

Jesus Christ Kyousuke is overpowered. I don't expect him to have a problem against any baddies when he deactivates his limiter. I wonder if there's any consequences to deactivating his limiter?

Damn Yugiri is adorable as fuck.

So Andy's a spy who's objective is to infiltrate PANDRA. This is going to get interesting.

Pretty good first episode.

7/10 This has potential. I'm interested to see where this series goes.

I miss some starting informations that are would be neccessary to understand what is happening and because of that it was a little confusing, also the sound effects are very unique, but strange once, i dont know how to feel about them yet. The plot seems kind of interesting tho, i will give this anime a chance and we will see. I have mixed-feelings so far.
