I am not going to comment the episode, say that only a thing, if you began to see I give only an advice: See up to the end!!!! X is undoubtedly one of the best works of the CLAMP! The best will not go away! And I say this like a great fan of the group CLAMP! Very little works have such a mighty history, charismatic characters and an exciting soundtrack!
See up to the end!!!!

this makes me want to see more, it wasn't very good for a 1st ep but I know it'll get better, so just as Cello said, keep watching..

and yeah, this has got to be one of The Most Underrated Anime, pity.

Always enjoyed Clamp's work and this seems to have a darker tone of it compared to CCS and Tsubasa Chronicles.

Great 1st episode :>

The first episode was... okay... but it certainly had that vibe of becoming something really good. It has my interest for sure.

Even though I read the manga, I never gave the anime a chance, so here I am, ready for the ride!

OP is really nice, animation too. I'm not getting used to seeing Kamui's brown eyes but well, not everything can be perfect.

A good first episode.

Pretty good compressing of the beginning, introducing characters in a decent way.

4/5

when the promotional arts were stating to be released for GEASS, I thought about how CLAMP didn't even bother (a less good looking Kamui?) for a supposedly big event series.

Idk if I like the main character very much yet but I'm sure once he gets more development into his motivations I might come around. I hope the multiple other characters get enough screentime too so I can enjoy them too.

I bought the first manga way back in the day, after really enjoying some of CLAMPs other work. So, I'm finally going to finish this anime.

I feel like they introduced way too many characters. At least they started to just focus on Kamui, so that made it a little less overwhelming. He seems pretty angsty though, maybe too angsty. His power looks interesting at leasts, so I'm looking forward to whatever battles may come.

good first ep, although felt like it's gonna have the same issue as the movie in having too many characters to inevitably leave a lot undeveloped, although at least the series will give it more time to develop them. Hopefully it's handled a bit better.
