| I'm liking this so far. It has some good comedy moments, and acceptable fighting. Also WTF was with the ending. |
 |
| I was skeptical about this show at first, but it reminds me so much of TTGL xD Kamina's been like reincarnated into Blade or something. It's already made of win. |
 |
| After reading these posts, I know that I should definitely take this show off my plan to watch list. |
| I gave it a 3, it's OK I guess.... |

     |
| And "shit" is such an apt description of Needless. Well done! |
| Lol.. how spiteful You lose |
|
| It's obvious what they were going for, but they failed really, really hard. |

ukonkivi said: Wow, that was pretty terrible. +1 The episode was a total clusterfuck, not to mention the ED. Quite the parody Madhouse has cooked up here, though. |
| This shit is nothing compared to TTGL. TTGL had some meaning and worked the characters together. This is just mindless shit. If you think this is even COMPARABLE to TTGL, go to your dads room, rummage around for his gun, and go hunt down your parents for ever conceiving you, and kill them. Your choice to commit suicide or not after words. |

| I seriously don't know what to think... It was.... I dunno.. I'll stick around for another episode before deciding if I'm going to drop it or not. What the hell is with the ending? Does yuri lolis have anything to do with the show? |

Keep your guns and killings and suicides to yourself and do all that if you will. You should have a more open mind, you just decided that you LOVE TTGL and HATE Needless form the start without even trying to like the other.

| It wasn't bad or wasn't great. The only thing that got a little annoying was naming of the moves every time they used them. All this drama about TTGL, seriously come on. There are similarities between both anime but so what. Does that affect the make up of TTGL? NO. Also TTGL is not on a pedestal where noshing can be compared to it. |
| That was pretty awesome. Kind of a TTGL feel to it, I like the different abilities among the "Needless". This seems like it could be really good, idk. The priest is so GAR, it ain't even funny. And is it just me, or does the Scientist look like a Proffesor from Pokemon? I can see big things for this series, I hope so anyways! Urahara Out!! Sent with Mal Updater |

Your choice to commit suicide or not after words. Atleast the first episode of TTGL made me think "Oh, this show is gonna have a meaning to it. The whole "Reach for the surface" and the "Believe in me who believes in you". It made me feel like "yeah, this show gots depth." Needless is just a bunch of "LOL I DON'T WEAR A SHIRT SO I'M OBVIOUSLY BADASS!!!" Faggots like you that are so easily entertained is what pisses me off. And calling me a mindless brat? You're the one that actually enjoyed the whole "I SHOUT OUT THE NAME OF MY ATTACKS!!!!!" shit along with apparently the rest of this show. |

| I'm guessing this might be worth watching, at least for that awesomely crazy smile of Blade's xD overall pretty bland, i guess.. and the ED.. was different : D |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| All comparison to TTGL is pretty lame. Yeah, the art is similar but that's about it. To me, I saw this as something Marvel or DC would have put out. This was nothing more than a mutants battling each other ala X-Men. If you want to drop this after the first episode, so be it. It's good to see superheroes/mutants in anime for a change. As for the ED, WTF was that shit? It has absolutely nothing to do with the show. I didn't sign on for yuri. I had more than enough of hinted yuriness from K-ON! And the song was even bad. Sadly we are stuck with it for all 13 episodes. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| KAMINA LIVES |
| This is really going to be interesting. I feel a sense of Soul Eater hardcore. |

Your choice to commit suicide or not after words. Wow. Thats pretty intense. Someone needs to take a breather. Different people are always going to see things in a different way. I don't think anybody's ever right or wrong when they compare two things. Its an individuals opinion. Geez kids these days. On that note, this episode was nothing special. I didn't have any expections for this series and I'm pretty sure I'm not going change my mind on that, but I guess this could be my mindless action 'what-the-hell-is-going-on" series for the season. But if its announced as longer than 13 episodes, it's preobably gonna get dropped. |
| One. I like the opening song. :) Two. The whole episode is, "ehhhh..wtf!? o___o" Three. The comedy is good. Four. Do they seriously need to add SUPER HUGE BOOBS!!! >_> ugh.. Five. I hated the ending...I don't like shojou-ai/yuriness! D: Six. I hope it isn't longer than 13 episodes, but i'll see how episode 2 will be.. :// |

| Just about everything besides the production value was terrible. The character designs are horrifying, the plot was pretty much incoherent and the characters themselves were not likable at all. Dropping after episode one. |

It's difficult to argue with someone who has a ~65 % Anime compatibility with. :-p But to defend myself... I've seen numerous animes that didnt want to see after one episode, but typically around the 3rd is when i'm drawn in. They do have to set the basis of the story. Edit: you also seem to be a little harsh on rating , however sad to be true but this is the only anime i have hope for this season |

| Gurren Laggan you say? Hmmm...more like X-Men, I think. A "chosen few' with "abilities". The villan in ep 1 with all those nails and furcoat is kinda Sabertooth. Girl turns into steel like Colossus. And the other "cool guy' - "Wolverine meets Rouge" Overall, episode 1 was OK. It`s too early to give scores, but let`s take a look on what is was made of: - action - post-war ruined city - loli - ecchi - yuri - "I scream the name of my attack" - metal - shyguy (who may later become GAR) Not bad, right? And what is not there: - kawai girls talking for 2/3 of episode - sort of DEEP plot If you`re looking for those, go wacth somethnig else. Hope, Needless won`t turn into something like Ikki Tousen -1 for idiot that drops after one episode You are correct And, SupaAsianFunTime, with 29 completed titles you are indeed an anime-expert with a greate taste ;D |

Defiance said: if something isn't entertaining, I'll just drop it. I hate those people who bitch me out for it saying "well you should give it a chance." If the show isn't at least reasonably entertaining enough to keep me somewhat interested for the first 2 or 3 episodes, then I'm not going to bother. I have about a 3:1 completed to dropped ratio, which imo isn't really that bad. Occasionally I will even re-pick up one of the animes I dropped if I think I might have misjudged it the first time around. |
| I just skim the first page so i missed that post |
| I eat babies "Needless" to say, i wont be watching this show for a long time. HAR such a play on words... im a cool guy now. |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |

| First episode was ok, we'll see what the next few will hold for this anime. The ed was lol. |

| I personally loved the first episode. Seems like the next big shonen title at the moment. We'll see. |
| Apparently, Japan got addicted to the GAR that leaked out of TTGL, and decided that it was a good idea to make another, and I wholeheartedly agree. I loved this first ep, and I might even like it more than TTGL if it plays its cards right. I just hope that Blade lives through the whole series. And not that I didnt like it, but what did the ending have to do with the anime? |

And the song was even bad. Sadly we are stuck with it for all 13 episodes. I have to agree. So many animes lately have been tossing in shoujo-ai and yuri for the hell of fanservice and extra sales. Saki (good god don't even get me started on how obvious it is in this show), K-On, and hints dropped in every other show I've seen the last few seasons is just driving me absolutely crazy. If you want to put lesbianism in a show, fine. Aoi Hana seems to be doing it nicely. But to leak/pour it into a show that has nothing to do with it is absolutely absurd. This show was good from the opening up until the ending, when I saw the three loli girls kissing eachother all over. Seems to me they belong in Kanakon. |
 |
| I think the anime is ok, but seriously.. the ending doesn't make any sense at all XD |
| Well, I liked the "nee-san" reminds me of C.C., not found a great anime, but is funny and has a lot to happen xD |

| After reading this forum, I can safely say that a lot of people are taking this series way to seriously. I'm gonna give this series a few more episodes just to see if they can satisfy my A.D.D. This series so far is definitely biting TTGL, but it could have some potential if it can intensify its absurdity. Ok lets break this show down a little, Satoru Nishizono has done some descent scripts like NHK, Naruto, and the first episode of Toward Terra was quite good. Director Masayuki Sakoi however is pretty new to game, but I did watch a few episodes of his Kamen no Maid Guy and now understand where that ending came from. Moving on to art director Yuka Okamoto, it looks like he has a lot of experience with background art but still no gurren Lagann link yet, if there was going to be one I'd think it have to be with the character design but Hiromi Kato doesn't seem to have any involvement with Gurren Lagann either. Oh well, lets just say that the artist were heavily influenced by it. |

| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| For me, it's not a anime who must take seriously.. So... I have loved the first episode : Epic GAR, boobs, and anything. For the ending... AHEM ! XD |
