THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well it gets underway pretty fast and I think this is starting from the beginning. The OP song is okay I guess and looks like they waste little time on the action.

Rygart is still as awesome as I could remember.

A part of me was expecting it to turn out as it did. A replica of the movie. This episode showed the first half the the movie and some scenes where cut and shorter than the movie. Still enjoyed it and have hope left in me.

I hope they put more development in future episodes because this one of my favourite series.

If it's just mostly the movie footage then I might not pick this up while it's airing.
It's not worth it for me since I have so many other series to choose from right now.

This is sounding like something I should marathon in the future though.
Really want to see those extra Girge scenes and maybe they can show him fighting a little bit more.

The point to this is to stick to the manga, the OVAs is slightly different than the manga so it may be difficult to continue from there on. They're using most of the OVA scenes while adding some new parts from the manga and cut the anime-original parts from the OVAs so the story will be more in line with the manga.

Now that the manga has more materials than before, maybe they're hoping to make a 2nd season of it if the sales is good enough.

Huh, surprised at how many are confused.
It's literally just the movies formatted for television. Though there are supposed to be a few extra scenes that weren't 'previously animated', make of that what you will.

guys, you are need to understand that this version is going to be faithful to the manga, so in this case, the first 3 movies was also faithful to the manga.
basically the first 5/6 episodes will be same as the movies, things will start to change when they will reach the fourth movie.

I just hope they remake the battle at Krishna where Rygart "m-m-m-monster killed" Athen's troops, beaten the crap out of Borcuse and killed him brutally like in the manga. The last movie didn't quite cut it for me.

Rygart steals Sigyn from that brown guy.

But the brown guy isn't really in love with Sigyn and either Sigyn with him as I remember (might be different in the manga though, I've only watched the movies), furthermore Sigyn and Rygart it's pretty canon I'd say.

I hope you're right, but judging from the trailer, I honestly don't know any more.
Because in the trailer you can see (much to my approval, and my hype):


However, Rygart can still be seen
which was never used in the mangas. As the scenarios were entirely different.

Also.


The anime is also called in the official site "Broken Blade TV Edition", so it's likely they made a few changes, but given everything it seems very unlikely that it will be the manga in anime form. I hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like it. Maybe some of the reused footage will be repurposed so that it's as it was in the manga....? I don't anymore.

Yes, it's pretty much canon, however



Anyway, does anyone have a link or something for me to see this episode? Searching everyday and still can't find nothing about, only the OVAs from 2010.

That OP lacks the hype the OVA's OP gave... Overall First Episode wasn't bad but I did skip around because it's a close replica of the OVA. I'll probably skip around in the next couple episodes until I get to the part where the OVA left off.

This feels more like a movie-kind-of-anime, so I may or may not put this on hold and try the movies instead. LOL It feels like Pilot's Love Song (aka Koiuta, from last season)

Glad it's finally been subbed, although it's a real shame that KOKIA's OP song has been replaced with that boring, generic song. The ED song is nice though.

In reality you should read the manga, but since you might be a anime person, stick with the Movies.
No matter what anyone says the movies obviously has better animation, the TV serie might have some new scenes, but as a whole it will still be as short as all the Movies.
Do the Math:
1 episode of 12 episodes = 24 min.
1 Movie of 6 Movies = 50 min.
It might not be this linear, but it gives you an idea.

The opening isn't fitting, think the one from the movies was better.

I liked it. It dives straight into the plot and characters aren't meeting for the first time. Natural interaction and relationship between them as well.
Well, it helps that I watched the movies a while back and don't remember much at all. XD

Still love the atmosphere though.

To those who haven't seen the movies, do yourselves a favor and at least check out their OP. It's waaaaaay better than this garbage OP... we talking "sending chills down your spine" better.

Other than that, the anime itself is the same thing I've already seen for the most part. Will watch it to see if it'll have a different ending.

I was thinking of watching the movies but if the TV series is the same + something more I guess I'll watch it instead of the movies (or do I need tol watch them?).
The fights between the mechs were average and the I have no idea what happened in their pasts.
I guess at least the story is a little bit interesting and I'll keep watching to see how it develops.

I know you can't expect animation quality from OVAs but I was still a little disappointed. Even though it looks good for a TV series. But that's nothing compared to these shitty OP and ED songs. You can't put something like this there after what we got in OVAs.

It's a real shame they didn't make a proper adaptation with OVAs and went for that dull filler middle and ending. Well, at least maybe this time we will see the real story and brilliant battle in the capital.

Here I was expecting a continuation... but instead got the movies re-hashed as a series.

I'll probably still watch it because I know it's decent. Cleo ftw.
