Tokoya said: I feel you..It wasn't top tier like the ones you mentioned but it was okay...I noticed a lot of stills too, but we'll see how it goes as the series progressesSolviteSekai said: Heeey, you made it to the party lol"I had a feeling they were going to adapt the first chapter" NO SHIT What'd you think? =P |
Moodie said: Ofcource hipsters wanna go against the grain and dislike something popular The points are pretty valid though. But still, ignoring whats on the good side is why ppl misunderstand it with hate. JD2411 said: It was decent. The deaths felt empty and meaningless, like the only purpose was to show how dangerous the capital is. otherwise it looks like it's going to be fun to watch there are some fuckable gurls tho, amirite? yer. All dem fukcable |
[right] |

Any time anyone actually attacked anyone who wasnt defenseless, they showed a still or cut to black. It's crazy how White Fox put more money into animating a show about little girls playing with rabbits than into a wildly popular manga. |
SolviteSekai said: Agreed on some points. People are hyping the shit out of this WAY too much. I'll continue watching to see if it evolves into anything deserving of the praise it gets.This show sucks. It is the mirai nikki of 2014, except worse because it doesnt have Yuno. First off the art is terrible, this is a seasonal series and it doesnt look much better than long runners like Naruto or Fairy Tail. Second, who the fuck high rates a show JUST BECAUSE it isnt censored? Not that it wasnt censored, but they did take some pretty good corner cutting to get the censoring to be hidden by shadows. Finally this show didnt have animation. The first cross slash was a still. The scene when the girl was maniacally laughing was a still. The scene of the bodies was a still. Even the execution scene at the end was a fucking still. Taking a still picture and shaking it around isnt animation. 4/10 gonna go back to watching Jojo's. |
skudoops said: FrancWyvern said: The guard knew the MC would probably die, why would he share a information with him that could get them both executed? Especially because the information didn't exactly helped the MC. The MC brought up the topic, the guard just went along with the conversation and it was pretty natural. I don't really think it was convenient at all, maybe if the guard had approached the MC about it then yeah.. I could see that. However people who have told him about the capital have always done so in response to something he said. It's like if a foreigner told you he was going into a really bad area, you'd obviously inform him of that no? I see that, but my problem with it is that the guard gave the ugly truth about the capital, which could get him executed, to guy who was just going to get tortured and killed anyway, JUST another guy who was going to die. |
Moodie said: SolviteSekai said: Again ratings dont mean shit to me lol7.6 isnt very popular. This time the show isnt even highly rated. Seems like the majority of people arent going to be down to watch Naruto again except with random gore scenes spliced in. Ratings don't equal popularity either but judging by how popular the manga is I can see it picking up in fans. There's no point in feeding the troll's... just ignore it!! Rate this show by your own standards and forget all the rest. It's the best choice here, and it's mainly the reason why the manga is still on the top #100 while competing with other shonen and some really "strange" stories. Btw looking at the stats, this anime will probably get 8.5 as a base start once they get updated. Also for those complaining about my color fonts.... DEAL WITH IT!! |
Personal tastes are like peoples behinds, each one has its own, and only those who wants to find [...] will smell one another. |
| How many ppl itt gave Sao2 a higher rating than this. This first episode is better than most of the first episodes that aired this season SO FAR. |
| I came here to see if someone posted an actual counterargument. I was called an hipster, so I guess I won't find such a thing here. |
| Even MORE generic and bland than Tokyo Ghoul's first episode, so many cliches: The rich people are evil cliche, the cat lady with skimpy outfit cliche, emotionless dark haired girl wielding a sword cliche, etc. Even Attack on Titan had a better first episode. 5/10 |

Btw I dont have ur color fonts lol |
| Yeah i love how the generic bad people did generic bad things because "they were just ban people". I mean, how much more contrived can it be? "They are rich, so they tortured people for the fun of it". No deeper meaning, no reasoning. Nothing. They did bad things because they were bad guys. Truly villains for the ages. |
| The animation is top notch, seriously that blood there looks so real o_O The narrative is good, the pacing is fine, the voice acting is nice too. All in all this is doing pretty good. I'm not sure at which point they will animate and/or if they are gonna give it an original ending, who knows? Still all in all this adaptation has been great. |
 |
There are better ways to show corruption than to show a bunch of stills of murder. Durarara showed a corrupt city without murder.[/quote] Trust me when I say this....The plot has yet to take off....You have no idea how fucked up this story and some of these characters are lol |
Tohka_Yatogami said: It was a great episode. The animation of Night Raid's attack was great. Tatsumi taught that sadistic girl a good lesson. Yeah i too thought it was good writing how he went from being a goofball who defends the innocent to a heartless murderer over the span of 10 seconds. Its quite common for people to instantly become grimdark murderers when met with grief. |
Tokoya said: ^yup! this times 100.Trust me when I say this....The plot has yet to take off....You have no idea how fucked up this story and some of these characters are lol And the adaption seems solids far. Wasn't a fan of the stills in general but it's better than censoring stuff or leaving it out. The art style was generally dumbed down but it's still nice to look at and the colors are good. The voice acting and music were generally great. I'm satisfied. |

| Hehe. There are some funny people on the internet. Not as good as I hoped. But still awesome. I hope they don't deviate from the manga. In this case, I think the manga will be better than the anime. Unless White Fox pulls a rabbit out of its hat or something. Ah, controversy, controversy. |

| Somehow seems like a really edgy Sekai Seifuku. Definitely will appeal to the Elfen Lied/SAO/AOT crowd. Can't say I really want to watch more. |
| I loved the first episode when tatsumi found his friend dead i was so sad :( i nearly cried right there and then . Only flaw is that the scene where tatsumi killed that FUCKING SADISTIC BITCH should have been dragged on like 30 seconds more or maybe just 10 seconds so it would have more impact |

| As someone who is not familiar with the source material The first episode was good but the last 6 minutes felt rushed imo |

| In reply to nidhogg, I put berserk on hold cuz I can wait 10 years and only be 5 chapters behind. Good ol muira. Also, someone said 7.6 isn't popular. Well it's 8.3 now. Get rekt. |
SolviteSekai said: Yeah i love how the generic bad people did generic bad things because "they were just bad people". You ain't looking at the deeper layers of this masterpiece, they aren't bad because they are bad, they are bad because they are RICH! |

Men you really need to tone it down with your animation hating, I see you everywhere saying how bad the animation of this sjow or that show it bad. It's only ONE episode calm down dude. The animation in almost everything this season so far has been great. Even Rail Wars had some slick scenes. |

| Pretty thrilled at how they are adapting this so far. They're sticking close to the manga and are not afraid to show the gore that comes with it. I respect the fact that they didn't go with the "convenient fog" or "bright light" censorship that some other show's use in order to later increase their BD sales. |

| Akame is here and first episode was amazing! I read only 2 chapters of manga, so I am pretty curious what will happen then. I loved opening and OST. |

| This show has censoring. Almost every singly kill was censored. The two people who got cut in half were shadowed, The guy who was choked to death was in the darkness while light from the window lit up cat girl. The guy who had his throat cut had a black censor over the slit with blood over it to hide it. I'd go get screencaps but i'm past caring. I've ranted enough. |

[/quote] It's still the laziest form of antagonizing villians you can come up with. I know the intent, but it still doesn't change that it is fucking weak for an author to use this. |

| God I forgot how cringe worthy some of the dialogue in this series is though A FITTING END FOR SOMEONE AS ROTTEN AS ME thanks for the exposition guardsman with his throat cut nice job |
