im so confused, is this supposed to be comedy or serious.... anything remotely serious was immediately brushed off. Hell by the end of the episode Tatsumi seemed to give little to no fcks that his childhood friends were just tortured and killed. |

judals said: Premise generic as fuck. Right off the bat "lol people are bad". You're not supposed to blatantly say it before the entire show's very first minute mark for fuck's sake. Use storytelling to do it. Mostly chicks trying to be badass centered by, of course the cliche guy (I think the sole reason these types of female chicks exist is because of the author wanting to send some twisted fuck you to characters like Sakura) Good: imperial city actually looks big. Ending, while trying too hard, just like saint seiya, is still better than the generic premise. But what fucking ruined it is how cheaply they went around it. People we don't care about got killed in first episode? Let's further kill the attachment by cutting off with going happy go lucky in such a shonen-like manner. Also, you don't fucking kill a hot sadist chick right away. You don't. Overall impression: Edgy Fairy Tail. This. Or fantasy Mirai Nikki. |

I think this is more like Akuma no Riddle plus Shingeki at the moment, with a sprinkle of Mirai Nikki. Either way, it was pretty cool even with the pandering elements mixed in. As someone who went in blind without knowing what this was about, it was quite fun and unexpected. This is gonna be the NGNL of this season, most likely unless Zankyou no Terror manages to throw in pandering and fanservice. lol judals said: SolviteSekai said: judals said: Premise generic as fuck.

Well, to be fair, Mirai Nikki's better than FT by a lot. |

I'm pretty sure at this point if Madhouse made an anime movie and it was just a live action clip of someone beating a puppy to death, everyone on mal would rate it 10/10 and call it the movie of the decade. |

It's funny, if you think about it people bitch about everything. You guys bitch about series having too much gore or it's too edgy, you guys bitch about anime having too much lolis and fanservice and otaku pandering, you guys bitch about basically everything. So what do you guys want then? Watch sports anime those don't have these kind of stuff in it. Just saying, if you guys don't like the series that's find, but don't come and say it's too edgy and gory, when series in your list that you like has these stuff as well. |

I didnt bitch about it having too much gore. The gore it has is pointless. They killed random people with no backstory for no reason other than "because they were bad people". It wasnt intense and I felt nothing for any of the characters because they werent fleshed out. They were human death flags put in to make weaboos who think blood is cool get excited. |

The episode met my expectations... darn it; I loved it! It has been a while since I've been this excited by an Anime. Very solid first episode, we got introduced to the MC (duh), good progession story-wise (I'm not familiar with the mange btw) and the gore; God I loved the gore. What I do hate is that there is always a chick with humongous breasts, really irritates me; but oh well. |

That's not so hard to understand.. Anyway, enough offtopic. |

It's like how people get annoyed with series that has a lot of ecchi in it. |

By the way, it being edgy isn't a problem, the problem is it being edgy to look like an serious and deep show while it's just Fairy Tail with gore.

PS: Akame Ga Kill is filled with lolis and fanservice. No I wasn't implying that. But that's the problem I have with people like you. It's the same for attack on titan you say the series is trying to be dark and serious. Wut? Then the series is all happy then with rainbow:) for eg. "problem is it being edgy to look like an serious and deep show while it's just Fairy Tail with gore" You see what I'm taking about, it has nothing to do with being about being deep, Fairy tale doesn't kill off characters so Akame ga kill can't be like fairy tale. If a series is dark and gory then it's dark and gory. Stop selecting which anime you think is dark and serious and which is just trying to be. There's no trying to be, it's a serious series. It ends there. |

ow big debut, one of the anime most anticipated this season and the first episode did not disappoint me not been economized the amount of blood and the plot was very faithful to the manga, already had high expectations about the anime but after this episode are even greater I liked the style of animation, great soundtrack and dubbing too, will soon get to know the characters, the embedded humor, especially the faces of the personages was also cool the opening and closing were also legal, giving focus in the members the Night Raid and with 24 episodes the story may be well crafted, I hope do not run when presenting the plot this anime has everything to be among the best of the season |

Are you saying that if the show isn't gory or edgy it obligatorily have lolis and fanservice? By the way, it being edgy isn't a problem, the problem is it being edgy to look like an serious and deep show while it's just Fairy Tail with gore. PS: Akame Ga Kill is filled with lolis and fanservice. No I wasn't implying that. But that's the problem I have with people like you. It's the same for attack on titan you say the series is trying to be dark and serious. Wut? Then the series is all happy then with rainbow:) for eg. "problem is it being edgy to look like an serious and deep show while it's just Fairy Tail with gore" You see what I'm taking about, it has nothing about being deep, Fairy tale doesn't kill off characters so Akame ga kill can't be like fairy tale. If a series is dark and gory then it's dark and gory. Stop selecting which anime you think is dark and serious and which is just trying to be. There's no trying to be, it's a serious series. It ends there. I misunderstood you there, sorry. It's being gory as way to set itself apart from other shonens, but the only thing that sets it apart is the random meaningless deaths. It's trying to be cynical, realistic and deep, but the setting is too 2-dimensional to be any of that. Wouldn't call it serious, too much fanservice and out of tone humor. |

SolviteSekai said: Apparently its dark and serious. I mean people got killed. Clearly it is dark and serious. This show should win some awards for its extremely riveting portrayal of a dark and unforgiving world were nice people are also sadistic murders. Bravo. The point I was getting at is that. FrancWyvern is saying it's just trying to be dark and serious, what should a series do to not be label as trying? Is it because the series has comedy in it? Should I say berserk is trying to be dark and serious because it has stuff like this in it? I just don't understand the trying part. also saying it's like fairy tale? wtf? |

Love the soundtrack so far! The first chapter of manga was definitely better paced than this episode, but it was still great. The moment where they showed the inside of the torture chamber could have been a lot better if they showed the whole thing in one shot like the manga did, but I guess for censoring reasons that wasn't really feasible. Loled at Mein asking "what is this thing?" cause in my mind I'm just thinking "that's your future boyfriend." |

Because I desperately want people to have better taste. This shit will probably sell like 15 thousand copies, while genuinely good shows cant even break the manabi line. Yeah sorry people aren't on your level of high taste high horse much I have horrible taste, but at least I'm honest about it. Also shows like Rail Wars are blatantly obvious about what they are. Only shows like this try to say they are serious with a straight face while pandering as hard as humanly possible. |

You guys bitch about series having too much gore or it's too edgy, you guys bitch about anime having too much lolis and fanservice and otaku pandering, you guys bitch about basically everything. So what do you guys want then? Watch sports anime those don't have these kind of stuff in it. Just saying, if you guys don't like the series that's find, but don't come and say it's too edgy and gory, when series in your list that you like has these stuff as well. Wut!?

I see where you're getting at, but it's a serious and dark series you can't deny that. I know that without the gore and death this series wouldn't be so good, but all I'm saying is that the gore and death is the best thing about this series, and you can't deny that. |
