| I'm very impressed. I wasn't expecting much out of this one, was even considering not trying it. However, I really enjoyed it and thought it was very well made. Possibly my favourite first episode of the season. Characters are interesting, none are really bad. Although Aika and her ~mysterious gf everyone obsesses over~ shit might get annoying real fast, in fact I think I'm already disliking her a bit. Really liking Hakaze though |
| This could be interesting, that said, the production quality of this episode was amazing. |
| LOVED IT That's all I can say so far. I really liked the atmosphere it created, and DANG surprising relationship reveal at the end of the episode. |
| ... |
| Looks to be a good start. They're taking things in a nice direction. Doing suspense and action pretty well. Liberal doses of angst. Not gonna say the show blew me off my feet or anything but it was a pretty nice first episode. |
| Since I'm not allergic to spoilers, I looked at the ones in Aika's page. I facepalm'd (primarily because of the first one). A blotch in an otherwise promising show. |

War_lothar said: ......what in the holy fuck are you talking about?PFFFFFF it seems a horrific teenager show for the moment (horrific for me, i'm not in my teens). They are including some manservice too, so they want fangirls, they'll spill some hollow sentences like" time is out of joint o cursed spite..." or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGSrjojDWRM&feature=player_detailpage#t=172s. They are doing it well to sell for the moment, no more. Ill watch one episodes more and if it is going on in that way ill drop it. Not trolling, is my opinion about this first episode, generic show pointing to teenager fans, trying to be deep but being totally frivolous. those lines are from Shakespeare, mahiro is supposed to represent hamlet and yoshino is supposed to represent romeo |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| this was prety good to ,but it seems like alot of the animes this season have a similar theme .... |

| A very busy first episode I would say, plenty going on. Not sure how I feel about this one but the premise of some kind of invasion by evil gods and what not is mildly interesting -- if only because it is so unheard of. I was hoping for a more horror/mystery feel after reading the synopsis but this seems like action/adventure than that. The main character and his friend were too angst-filled for my taste but maybe that speaks more towards the target audience of this anime. I do like this genre so I will give this the 3 episode test, but with so many other promising anime this season I might end up dropping this if it doesn't deliver on its mature undertones. |

| I fall in love with the dark-atmosphere this show is giving. That sky...that sea waves...! ♥ Who I first thought as a main heroine was actually dead right from episode 1 :p For some reason I think of Yoshino as a bad guy :/ though he's my fav chara in this show Mashiro Fuwa is voiced by Toyonaga Toshiyuki, huh? He's also voicing Mikado Ryuugamine from DRRR and Irie Shouichi from KHR :D I wonder why some people think of this episode as confusing in a negative way. I think it's more interesting this way than actually explaining everything right from the beginning. Most shows did just that. This show left you to wonder what's going on in the present, not only what's going to happen next. Nice. Just like DRRR and Steins;Gate 5/5. No flaws just yet. For a first episode, this is better than K, I think. These two shows are definitely on my full-watch list. |
Barion-Zara said: MidnightPride said: dammmn Mahiro is a badass. I wasn't sure about this series at first but, I'll be waiting for the next ep. Question: Was the girl in the photo you know the brown haired boys "girlfriend" Mahiro's sister? I couldn't tell .-. Yep, she was. That actually took me by surprise...Yoshino's GF was actually Aika, he didn't really seem to care about her dying, I wonder if he knows anything about her death. And Mahiro doesn't even seem to know that Yoshino and his sister were going out. Anyway Really loved the episode...the animation was amazing, the fight scene with Mahiro against that woman was epic , Mahiro himself as a character is BA and the overall atmosphere and setting is really nice. I loved Hakaze too. She seems pretty lovable and Miyuki's voice only adds to that <3 thanks for confirming, didnt know if it was right or not about that. |

| Decided to give this a shot because I liked the character designs. I'm glad I did. The story has me interested and I like how that girl sits there on that island trying to stop Samon. |
| Faithful to the manga equals awesome in this case. And it only gets better and better as the story goes. ED fully in English. Surprisingly, an actual English. I'm not blown away, but kudos for that anyway. And for all those people who read spoilers - WTF is wrong with you? It's one thing to read spoilers of a series you're never going to watch or to come across them accidentally but opening the Pandora boxes? |
 |
| Oh yeah! The story was so deep! Unlike K, I at least understand what's happening. I fucking clicked every spoiler of each character in MAL stats. DEYUM! So hard to resist! Im glad I opened it though. Why did Aika have to die? The character designs were so good. What a cast of main characters. Miyuki woooh! Ouma Shu has been reborn! Too bad there are only nine listed characters. Only one heroine? Sad. Their faces were beautiful. Awesome episode, NO BL. BONES \m/ |
| went in to this not knowing what to expect but it turn out to be somewhat good for a 1st episode, kinda rushed tho, hope we get more info next episode but ill be putting this one on my list of stuff to watch this season. PS: DAT FACE PLANT |
| i like it !! looking forward next ep :D i hope yoshino is not the murderer -_- |
| I fell asleep in the beginning of the episode (not because I was bored but rather very tired), so I was pretty confused when I woke up and couldn't really understand what's going on, but I'm going to rewatch it, of course. So far I can say I quite like the characters and the kind of gloomy atmosphere. Definitely continuing watching it. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| always girl with pink hair. AGAIN. the same with the K project. I HAte girls w/ pink hair! |
 |
| that profile picture is miss leading it implies that Fuwa, Aika is a main character, hence still alive |
wakka9ca said:"The endless debate between fans and haters... is totaly pointless"  |
| Again about virus... But I'll give it a chance since it is Bones (though I don't really like this studio's recent shows). Anyway, music and art seem great, atmosphere looks magnetic, and Sawashiro Miyuki is the best. On the other hand, to my mind, that was a bit rushed episode. |
| This was pretty awesome. Looking forward to see more. |
| Another great anime from Bones has expected. I love the art, the MC with the powers is petty badass and the presenation was so flawless. The best part for me is when the guy kicked that girl in the face and I love how she was like I'm 28 and employed so I guess they have that in common. Overall great episode! 5/5 |
 |
| I thought the main character was the friend, I guess it was like a character switch. |
| I just stumbled upon this anime by chance after searching for new stuff to watch. I'm glad I did! This looks promising. The visuals, characters, music, etc. were great! And, I'm always a fan of anime showcasing characters with super powers. Depending on the next episodes, I might start reading the manga. XD |
| I might need some time to get used to the English OP. It was unique, though. I really like this first episode. The characters and also the plot seemed very interesting. Instant love at first sight(?). |
| Seems interesting. |
| Well what can I say, another really good anime adaption for this season, so far this season is pretty epic!! I loved the episode, just hoping it stays as good as this episode! Mahiro was just, well epic! |
| That was.. really cool. :O Not what I expected <3 I'm enjoying it. |
| Phew... This one might be among my favorites. And why do I get a feeling Aika's killer is Yoshino? Probably because of the title of the next episode "It al started with (whatever is after that, I forgot xD)" Yoshino's smiles also give away that impression... Very good first episode. It's will be so hard waiting a week for all of these. And to think that I went to gogoanime and clicked on new shows and just picked 3 shows I'll watch based on the descriptions. |
 |
| Hum ... Ok ... That was ... basic ? Didn't liked, didn't hated. It's just "normal". I don't think it's special anyways. Really like a "normal" shonen for me. |
 |
| And I forgot. I felt so sad when I saw Aika dead. It's obvious that we will get drama packed into fantasy shounen anime :D |

Mahiro was just, well epic! THIS After some seasons filled with episodic series and with few good works, this is a very pleasant surprise. Excellent action, animation, color, spells, soundtrack. And I laughed when the Yoshino said that if the Mahiro is not dead, then he must be alive. |
| So Yoshino and Aiko were dating? owo But it's interesting! Can't wait to dive more into the mystery. |

| Wow, quite addicting. Reminded me of No. 6, but way better. Bones being Bones, as I like. Hopefully this will grow even better. |
 "Like this too we met in a dirty and ugly world; Thank you for this miracle." |
| Holy cow yet another amazing show. This show has a shitload of potential and I can't wait for more! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I REALLY LIKED! ^^ |
| Seems good, not sure what to make out of this series yet tho |
 |
| Holy crap, I'm interested. I was glued to screen for the whole episode. The music was especially amazing. The show itself was paced very well. It had just the right amount of mystery and intrigue. The magic effects surprised me, they're smooth and always a pleasure to watch. Love the characters and their dialogue. The OP and the end was pretty cool, the english lyrics fit quite well. I'm interested in how this show develops. |
| Yep. I love this series already. It is another combination of a cool and wimpy guy. Reminds me of No.6. Also, it is also a dystopia... which I like. The ED is in English too. Can't wait to see more. |

| Seems like an interesting anime! The main character is badass!! There also seems to be a hint of romance in this show. I will follow this series :) |

| Definitely, a promising start to a hopefully awesome anime. Loved the fight scene! |
