| This is the type of fantasy show where the mood gets tragic from the start, especially for Yuno. There was no time for peace as the so-called Golems terrorize their world. Yuno sees and experiences it first hand in this episode. Soujirou also seems like an overconfident type of character. The animation style is ok but it's quite dark and grimmy. There just seems to be a lot of chaos and shit going on already in this opening episode. |

| After nearly four years since the light novel began, Keiso's story is finally hitting the anime scene! The only downside is that it's a bit of a bummer that you'll need Disney+ / Hulu to catch the stream. sajou no hana's OP has some hype beats that suit the show, but for now, it's just alright Exploration trainee Yuno, from the Nagan Labyrinth City, was diligently studying alongside her friend, Lucels, aspiring to become explorers. One day, numerous machine demons (Golems) appeared in the city, drastically altering their peaceful lives. Before her eyes, Lucels was being dismantled by the machine demons, while Nagan was being trampled. Just as Yuno was preparing for the worst, a man wielding a wooden sword appeared before her. Wow, that start was pretty intense. It kicked off with what seemed like an innocent duo, but things took a dark turn, and one of them got brutally killed. The amount of blood shown caught me by surprise. Yagyuu is seriously messed up, but I'm already loving his character. His vibe is on point. Surprisingly, even for Passione's standards, the animation is pretty decent, and the CG is holding up well. The power system in this anime is interesting. Hoping we'll learn more about this 'Worlds Art' power in the next episode or something. And can we talk about Masahiro Tokuda's soundtrack? It's really good; the OSTs pack a punch. Feeling torn for Yuno - on one hand, I want to sympathize, but on the other, she's rooting for others to take down Yagyuu, sooo. Honestly, can't deny it; this premiere was pretty solid and has me hooked on the story of the last swordsman, Yagyuu. |

| Keiso's Ishura...sounds like a combination of Helck and Shuumatsu no Walküre a.k.a Record of Ragnarok...for blatant copy-paste rhetorics, though this does it first than the latter for the latter work by 6 months. Sucks that this is locked to Disney+/Hulu. sajou no hana attempting a somewhat different feeling OP, it...kinda fits though. For human (Minia) Yuno the Distant Talon, meeting Soujirou the Willow-Sword starts with school and her friend Lucelles in the Nagan Labyrinth City, the city of the Great Labyrinth of Kiyazuna, which was once occupied by the True Demon King. But a future where the golems ravage the same city, and Yuno witnessing the brutal killing of Lucelles to almost being killed herself being saved by a man: a Visitor wielding a katana, with the Great Labyrinth being one huge golem created to defeat the True Demon King. All this to Soujirou Yagyuu, the last Yagyuu on Earth, being an Isekai-ed Distant World Visitor, just speaks of fun defeating golems. Despite the Word Arts magic which is used in the fantasy world, Soujirou rather, uses his katana to lay waste to the golems, the action just like Sabikui Bisco. And Soujirou just went for it to destroy its core, bringing an end to the golem rampage. Yuno thinking that the Great Labyrinth was activated because of him, though he is looking for more entertainment, which Yuna links and guides him to Aureatia, the gathering of heroes. A rather brutal start though, this has now caught my attention. Passione, you may have redeemed yourself from last season's atrocity that was Seiken Gakuin no Makentsukai a.k.a The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy. Sanzigen's 3DCG is rather decent as well. |

| This is so dark, not just the story, but the heroine herself. She became a suspicious figure to follow main character at the end. OP as ED this ep. Edit: 12 eps. total https://ishura-anime.com/bddvd.html |

| Thank god Notepad auto-saves stuff, there was a power outage here and it saved my comment. WHAT THE HELL THIS IS BRUTAL Oh, this has eyecatches with info like AOT! This is so damn cool. The red highlighted letters may mean something. They didn't translate them though, wtf. Maybe I'll try translating them. 永禄 (eiroku) - a Japanese era that lasted from February 1558 to April 1570. Eiroku 8 is 1565. I wonder why is 黄都 (kouto) - "yellow/golden capital" is translated as "Aureatia". This seems to be the case in the LN too, and from Google searches, it doesn't appear to be a real word. 修羅 (shura) - Asura; demigod; anti-god; titan; demigods that fight the Devas (gods) in Hindu mythology. The 異 (i) in 異修羅 (ishura) means "uncommon, different". The OP visuals are awesome! And there is a scene after it. This was absolute fire! This got me really interested, and I think the CGI looks good. So this is like isekai+fantasy+sci-fi. Now we wait for the story of the second one. EDIT: This week's eyecatch: Golems (written as "machine demon") Demons made using non-living materials. To a varying degree, they have a mind, intelligence and life, and if they have the ability to pronounce, they can use Word Arts too. "Life" is given to them using the "Word Arts of Life", and if it gets damaged, they "die". Word Arts of Life A Life Seal is located in different positions on each one, and identifying it from outside is extremely difficult. Please tell me if you find any mistakes, or find something hard to understand. |

| You know what, this is fun. Yono is going to be an interesting character later on, but seems like that's for sequel seasons. |
❝Kabo-chan is ran by the MAL staff team and does not respond to individual comments made on her profile.❞ I was immensely devastated. |
| Meh, maybe not my cup of tea. I'll pass this one. |
 |
| this was a great start, so fun! I only hope this show doesn't pull a Hametsu no Oukoku and turn into incoherent bullshit next episode. cuz you know, Hametsu had an impressive first episode as well.. |
| Oh boi, this was bad. Hilarious bad xD I'm gonna sit this one out. |
What kind of Shadow of the Colossus is this? lol (>▽<)ﾉ |
 |
| I really enjoyed this one, the visuals are great and the action scenes are awesome as hell I was expecting this to be an isekai but given how the swordsman was from another world that I'm assuming to be ours, I guess this would technically still count as an isekai (Not that I mind this in any way) The swordsman was pretty cool tho, and I'm excited to follow him and learn more about the other powerful people in this world (That and I was shocked to see how brutal this episode was) Great start imo with a pretty decent OP |
| pretty gurl ded in the start . |
| Damn they weren't joking with the gore tag for this one, that girl was torn into pieces, holy shit. So this is a reverse isekai with people from earth coming to this world. Reminded me of drifters with the similar setting and action. The world building is interesting and the animation, artstyle adds to it. OST was good too and so was the action scenes. The MC is quite cool and strong, not sure about fmc for now. OP song at the end was nice too. Liked the start and looking forward to upcoming episodes. |
 |
| I knew there would be "gore" in this show, but I still did not expect to see a character being slowly dismembered barely 5 minutes in. |
| 5:10 i already expected to dislike the anime based on the synopsis, but seeing the girl dying like that... yeah nah, hard drop lmao also don't bother telling me i'm wrong like every other time i dropped an anime, idc lol |
fav "new" girls from spring <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| Drifters, is that you? |
 |
someone tell me from when robots started to bleed or is it oil doesnt seem like it anyway seems like another isekai though the first impression was it was fantasy |
 |
| anybody know where I can watch without closed caption subtitles? craps annoying and the exact reason why I dropped Tokyo revengers |

| @Cody8076 "loud noise" "thud" "exciting music" |

| Aside of the trees in the beginning and the smoke the animation and art style were quite decent. The animation in particular was really fluid too. The golems had some brutal shit going on. I feel that, depending on how the story unfolds, this could turn out to be a nice show if it doesn't go into individual characters with their respective perspectives. The chick already giving off backstabbing vibes. Seemed kinda reminscent of ToG. |
| . |
| The girl is annoying, was hoping she'd get killed and it'd focus on someone else. Show seems middle of the road - keeping her around will probably lower its score over time. |
| That was kinda meh... Not as intriguing as Hametsu no Oukoku and that one was a wild trainwreck... so meh lets see at least those other ppl teased might spice it up a bit |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| What a brutal death that was. Reminded me of when I played one of the Call of Duty games, maybe Modern Warfare or Advanced Warfare, the one where the robots take over on the first stage and you get your arm and leg ripped off and almost killed. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the story for the other heroes to see what they are like. |

| So this had an interesting premier with being introduced to 2 characters in Yuno and Soujirou but damn was Yuno's friend brutality killed. I'm also getting similar vibes to "Kingdoms of Ruin" but I'm curious to see where this goes and I understand there are more significant characters that will be introduced. |
| Holy shit. Started out as a nice slice of life bonding moment with the girls and next thing I know it’s emergence day from Gears of War with the one getting her arm ripped off. That got real dark real quick. What an entrance for the male lead too. Taking on the giant golem with nothing but a sword. That action sequence was intense and the scale of the golem really added to the weight of the fight. I’m still a little lost on the story here though. This distant world, visitor and golem stuff needs some explanation, but by introducing the world this way they definitely got me interested in learning more. Are people getting brought from Japan to a fantasy world to fight these golems? Where are the other people of the MC’s clan? Why is the female lead so edgy? Kinda feels like a reversed Hametsu no oukoku which I loved so sign me up. Also got some toonami old school vibes from this. Love these story set ups with characters setting off on long journeys together. Passione didn’t cook with seiken last season, so hopefully this is a bounce back for them. Interest is piqued |
