MCAL said: Well that went just about expected. Once again though, White Fox proves what they can do with what is obviously a limited budget (The only time it really didn't work was when Aria was revealed for the vindictive bitch that she was) and gave the show a fitting old-school 90s feel. And Taku Iwasaki's soundtrack is again full of win. The comedy moments need work though (See FMA: Brotherhood for how to do it properly). Don't expect it to revolutionize seinen, but expect it to at least keep your interest. And yeah, it did feel rushed, even if it was only one chapter. Lol I love when a show is ugly and people say it has a "90s feel". No. It is just old looking and crappy. |

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? Yeah, I think this argument did get out of track. My point isn't about how it isn't "gory and serious" but how it doesn't really equals quality or depth. |
SolviteSekai said: VPedge said: 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. Hey like you said atleast you are honest about it. Honestly if you don't like the way the show is going leave it alone and oh idk move on and not act like an ass in a thread for said show being critical is one thing but you are far pass that and just trying to be 'that guy' |

| I really don't see anything positive coming from this. I'll wait for an more substantial quantity of episodes to start discussing it. |
| The most anticipated anime for this season, for me, is here...Rushed isn`t it? Ok, the start was nice and slow, calm even, mild comedy I could get behind that. Then, killing starts, and at first, I think, wow? Really? These are our heroes? Killers of nobles just because? Then the ugly truth came, and I was shocked a bit. I guess you could say that it was to be expected but, I really did not. For some reason I believed in the goodness of the nobles, boy was I wrong. -.-' The humor is also decent, except when all the killing starts, then it`s just stupid and out of place, like really out of place, ten miles - out of place. Anyways, 7/10, was hoping for a little more but time will reveal more. Happy this is 24 episodes as well, will keep me occupied. ^^ |

To be perfectly honest, I don't see much difference between that first episode and the early chapters of Berserk. |
| At first, I was worried that the art and animation may turn out bland and average but then, it got better half way through the episode :D Akame is such a funny assassin. At first, I didn't understand why they would kill Aria. I mean, she's a kid. Then they revealed that dungeon-thinggy and oh my god, Sayu ;~; Tatsumi killing off Aria. Yeah, that bitch deserves it. I'm excited to see how this series turns out. Hope it won't disappoint. I mean, it's White Fox! Like the OP. Still can't believe that Akame has the same VA as Kaori Fujimiya from Isshuukan Friends. |
| Everybody's getting bent out of shape about how the characters are shallow archetypes, the writing is lazy and it's piling on the gore and trying way too hard to be edgy and dark and serious. Meanwhile, all I can think is It had tits, ass, and blood. I'm satisfied with that. |

Early Berserk chapters have are more consistent mood. I do agree I wouldn't be too excited about Berserk if I would only judge it by the first chapters, but I think that thing with early Berserk chapters is that they don't show much, this first episode already hinted at a lot of big flaws. galimx said: FrancWyvern said: I really don't see anything positive coming from this.

Oh, I do think they will suck, I just feel that the discussion won't be productive. |

Why don't you like Elfen lied Because I've seen flash animations from the turn of the millenium that looked better, and to date it remains the only show where I found the voice acting intolerable in sub and dub. Fite me. |

Meanwhile, all I can think is It had tits, ass, and blood. I'm satisfied with that. Agreed, some people need to learn that even if something isn't deep, doesn't mean it's bad. I take an anime for what it is, not for what I want it to be and from what I've seen, I enjoyed it. And to those who say it's too dark and edgy, what did you expect, Shakespeare? If you came into this expecting it not to be, then sorry, you deserve to be pissed off and have no sympathy from me. |

| Awesome start. The art/animation reminds me of FMA:B, which is awesome. This show looks really good, so I will definitely follow it. PS: Haters gonna hate, lol. |

| Guys, it's not like it is just trying to be about boobs and gore. This is closer to Elfen Lied (Pretentious boobs and gore) than Hellsing (Boobs and gore, lol!). |

| What the actual fuck... I didn't expect sadism at such level from the capital and especially not that girl D: I'm definitely following this but the eyes and facials... i can't take it seriously. |

| Oh god, another show with no sense of tone what so ever. The MC had his best friend that he's known his entire life die in his arms and then he's totally fine 30 seconds later as he is comedically dragged away. What the fuck were they thinking? |

| I'm so glad that its not censored like most of the anime was last season. I can truly enjoy this without my mind being taken away by unexplained black and white out. |
 |
| Well this was a fun late night read, thank you based @FrancWyvern, @SolviteSekai and fanbois. I liked it, but it it certainly something that just fills in a checklist of things and does them competently enough as a battle shounen. 3/5 OK, and it won't be getting any better. |

Changing subject, I used to consider MN (Manga only) quite fun before the plot twists that turns the manga into an trainwreck. Never looked it as gory and edgy, maybe that's just something that only looks like this on the anime. |

| Show looks good. Fills the void of SnK. Gonna be a fun ride. |

Botato said: How am I not supposed to with the build up that this is an amoral world with deep-seeded corruption, but simple swindling is comedy. Attempting to kill someone is also comedic, yet we have all this cold murder going on. It's just jarring.CandyFace said: I don't think you're supposed to though.What the actual fuck...

Not everything must be serious. Do you see color palette? Manga till around dog rape was balancing it nicely. I didn't mind the comedic scene, even when they follow gory scene. After all, bunch of assassins laughing after killing is bad taste, but not really incoherent. But I still think there is a difference between "non-serious" and stupid. And IMO, MC almost joking with random people 2 minutes after his childhood friends get killed is completely stupid. |
| Not worth the hype yet, ok 1st ep. Watching this entire time i felt nothing, gore & action was nice nothing stand out & the intro ruin the suprised big time. I hope this series get better 7/10. |
 |
| What the hell is wrong with that family!? I was wondering how would they make him join the assassins but I didn't expect a sadistic family. I was shocked. 11/10 would watch again. |
YTFry91 said: Good premiere but felt rushed compared to the manga. I don't get all the serious/dark tone shit plp are complaining about. I've read dozens of dark action shounens like this before so I guess I'm not as jarred by this as other plp. Nobody is jarred or offended. Why do people assume anyone who thinks senseless gore is stupid must be offended? |
| Its finally here D': Its gonna be hard going through the teams tragedy again, but having it in moving colors is all worth it seeing for~ I'm happy with the faithful adaptation so far. Tatsumi is a crappy MC for that I still agree with most ppl, but he does have his moments. And the Night Raiders make up for that. Seeing the 'beautiful Sadistic embodiment' that is in the op and being 2 cour will be the only thing that keeps me on this if it ends up being a shitty adaption. Waited too long to be able to finally see 'her' animated Dx |
| Holy shit i like this. It wasn't amazing (fast pace too much :/)... no emotions were shown when his best friend died. Anyways its still a really cool concept, will be watching ! |
YTFry91 said: SolviteSekai said: Nobody is jarred or offended. Why do people assume anyone who thinks senseless gore is stupid must be offended? Considering you made like 20 posts in this thread I assume something offended you. Must be my imagination lol You could say the shittiness of the show offended me I guess. |
YTFry91 said: What? Horror movies don't need over the top violence. Do horror movies generally have lots of violence? Yeah. Is it necessary? No. Not usually. Plus how is this senseless gore again? The over the top blood and drama completely fits the the show and its genre. Its like complaining about a horrror movie having to much violence. Over the top gore and oceans of blood everywhere is pretty silly. Just because it conforms to it's "genre" doesn't mean it isn't a valid criticism. |
