| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I want to put Suwabe's voice in my pocket and take it home. I have an obsession. =P |
| Must find a fansub for it =3 |
     我爱你 |
| Yoroshiku, Orange-Side/Emerald-Eyes/DATS These fansubbers are supposed to sub it, so lets just see what happens. |
| I thought it was pretty good. I followed along with the manga a little, and I got the gist of it. I'm probably gonna watch it again when a sub comes out. I really liked the OP too. |
     |
| Shinsen subs out, show is alright. |
 |
| That was quite entertaining, could turn out pretty well. OST seems nice too. |

| This was pretty good. Once they mentioned the gamble, and that they're not responsible for what could happen to the players, I immediately thought about Kaiji =P Also, I find the OP to be quite catchy. |
| It was alright. |
| Saitou was a little over-the-top for my taste but other than that I thought it was pretty decent. |
    |
| Didn't really like the useless of characterization of Saitou here. I mean, the manga had him a bit more useful (even without combat ability he's useful to the team due to his computer skills). Here, he was just an annoyance and dead weight. Perhaps it is because they are just starting out now? |
| this is some pretty good stuff LOVE THE INTRO |

Perhaps it is because they are just starting out now? I didn't read the manga yet, so I can't compare it, but I read other manga of this mangaka and it really seemed abit exaggerated how useless he was in the first episode. I can't imagine the manga to be like that. We'll see how this turns out. The first episode looks nice and since it's only 3 I will definately complete this series. If it was like 26 episodes long, I'm not sure if I could stand it. |
 |
| It seems decent. I'm not sure if I believe it can pull off a full, decent story in just three episodes with this pacing though. Maybe six, but not three... |
| 世界は美しくなんかない。 そしてそれ故に、美しい |
| i thought this was yaoi at first, not like im into that stuff but i guess i cant judge things by its cover. |
 |
| It was alright. Saitou was pretty useless and the fights weren't anything we haven't seen before. Three eps is a lot to pack the show into, but I'll give it the decency of at least one more episode. Plus, I love backstory. |
 |
| It wasn't anything amazing, but it did kept my interest. I'm curious how they plan on finishing this in just 3 episodes... |
  |
| I rather liked it, actually. I love Kazuya Minekura's art style, and it transitioned pretty well to the anime. Plus, a Kougaiji look-a-like (minus the long hair) is always a plus. ;] It seems to be a pretty interesting story, and, if they can pull it off in three episodes, I think it'll be a really good series. |
     |
| i thought it was alright. no wonder it looked awfully familiar. same person who did saiyuki. |
 |
| Other than the fact that I distracted for at least three minutes in relating them to Saiyuki characters by their looks, It was...pretty good. Reminded me of Kaiji, only no card games. It was a pretty decent watch. |
| Haha, this was cute. Kenichi Suzumura ftw. *Q* |
| Decent beginning, I hope the next two episodes will speed up the pacing a bit. |
| Good Beginning. I really liked the OP :p |
| i usually don't watch anime like this.. but i watched it what so ever.. and it wasn't bad as i thought.. i love the op song.. and the anime overall was good.. i might finish it till the end.. |
     |
| i liked the 1st episode ^^ but seeing that its only 3 episodes... ill go pick up the manga ^^ |
No matter how many breaths that you took, you still couldn't breath. |
| Been awhile since I'd read all there is of the manga, but I like the anime version so far. |
 |
| I thought this show was pretty bland overall. Two of the characters are cardboard cutouts, and the other guy is only likeable because he actually has a personality. The OP sucks, Kazuya Minekura obviously has no idea how to make characters, etc etc. Still gave it 6/10 because of the unique premise. If it doesn't improve next episode, chances are I won't even bother finishing. |
  |
| It was pretty good, just watched it =3 |
我爱你 |
| It was okay, but a little slow. Hopefully it gets better. Toki is smex~~ I want Wild Adapter anime T3T |
 |
| It was a pretty interesting first episode, reminds me of Kaiji. I certainly hope Saitou doesn't remain completely useless as in this episode. |
 |
| shinsen sub is subbing it |
 |
| Just want to say 2 things: 1. Love the art <(^-^)> 2. Hate the blond dude _(-_-)_ |
   |
| i think the story is worth more than 3 episodes, but if they manage to do it well done in just 3 eps ,its fine ^^, i give the first episode a 4 out of 5 note |
 |
| I dont know how its going to fit into 3 episodes, but I enjoyed this and Nobuto is hot =p |
| Love Psychological? Join Pyschological Love =D  |
| I enjoyed it and I like the story, but I really don't see how they can fit this into 3 episodes, especially if these 3 guys actually get the 1 billion dollar prize, considering the fact that they didn't even finish the first fight. But anyway, yeah, I enjoyed it. My only complaint is that Toki and and Nobuto seem too similar in personality. At least Saitou has a distinct personality that differs from theirs, but yet you all dis him simply because of the fact that he can't fight. |

| I pretty much agree with everything Monkey_D_Luffy just said... O_o |
Monkey_D_Luffy said: I enjoyed it and I like the story, but I really don't see how they can fit this into 3 episodes, especially if these 3 guys actually get the 1 billion dollar prize, considering the fact that they didn't even finish the first fight. Yeah, that. Well, it'll be interesting to see what they can cram into the other two episodes. |
  |
| I thought this was quite good but i expected it to have more gamble like games than the street fight thing about the disks |
 |
| This anime is really bad in a good way. |
 |
kasumisama said: This anime is really bad in a good way. That's exactly what I was thinking. I almost stopped watching it because it just seemed like a badly animated Kaiji but I just kept watching til the end for no reason and ended up enjoying it. |
  |
| With only three episodes there is only so much potential this series has, but I personally thought it did pretty well... wish it was longer, but it seems that the magazine went out of business after only 11 chapters... so the story was nowhere near finished. Definitely going to finish the 3 episodes that were made, though. |
 |
| Pretty cool. I'm expecting the guy being held at bay by a knife is going to go shonen style and whip out some crazy stuff. He looks way too much like Vash the Stampede to be powerless. |
| I really liked the first episode! The three of them have awesome Seiyuus. I immediately recognized all three of them. Mainly Kazuo's though because he also did Eiji (prince of tennis), but the other two were familiar as well. Well, I'm a huge fan of Minekura Kazuya's artwork, so I LOVE the character designs. Not as pretty as what she does, but still looked good. The premise seems interesting though I hope they don't try to rush it, even though the manga was really short. :) |
| i liked it.. |
 |
| the episode was ok |
 |
