| It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it was really weird how they mixed the 2d and cg also I felt like the story was all over the place and the first action scene was sort of cool. |
| Why are they hotboxing each scene? It's killing me that they do everything in CG and then out of nowhere in one scene there is a completely normal 2D character. |
| I have to be honest, the fighting movements are great (the part where the protagonist is inside the Alma apparently can't control her body very well), but everything is so ... I don't even have words to describe it. CGI is horrible, the fusion of 2D and 3D makes everything strange. I like CGI anime very much, but this is one that even I cannot defend. I'll keep watching to see how the anime will look from here (if I managed to finish SDS 3, I can handle it ... I think), but my grade is 3/10 |
 Just a random guy who likes random stuff (ᐛ)و Also, nice to meet you ;) |
| I can't even lie, I was incredibly entertained throughout. I'd rather watch something laughably bad than painfully mediocre anyways, so I hope the CG work only gets progressively worse as it goes on. That being said, for an anime made by legit amateurs, it's a lot more functional than I expected. It's still the worst looking TV anime I've seen yet... And I feel absolutely awful for the mangaka. Even if it might increase manga sales, I wouldn't want to be associated in any way with this kind of product. |

snowykevin said: I haven’t watched the first episode yet, so I was wondering to anyone that has seen it is bad enough that it’s worth watching or should I just not even bother? don't bother to watch it, it's horrible adaptation ( as far on ep. 1)... go read the manga if you interested in the story... |
| This was the most beautiful thing I have watched in a while! |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| The story seems really interesting. But Ph5YCh0, interesting story won't fix the art. I know. This is pure despair at it's finest. I don't normally watch PVs before watching the show, I was really excited for it after reading the synopsis and seeing the poster. But when I started watching the show, I was stricken with such a big disappointment. "The moment where hope completely turns into despair is pure despair at it's finest"- random fate character. Maybe we should give it a chance? (Pls don't hate me for saying this) If the story turns out to be good, I hope they get a remake or something. Am gonna watch the whole show till ep 12. Wish me luck. |
  Only the ones ready to die should kill. |
unexplainable said: The mixture between 2d and CGI makes it really weird. I'll get used to this. The fact they prob did key frames instead of cgi for non moving characters as a cheap cop out is disgusting. This anime hurts so much. I'm trying to last through the episode but I don't think I can. |
 Watch in Awe |
| This is an experience alright. |
| Welp, this is morbid curiosity at this point |
| The greatest anime ever created and it's not even close. FMAB? Hxh? Steins;Gate? Gintama? AOT? None of them can even come remotely close to the greatness of this episode. /s 1/5 episode. |
 |
| I just skimmed the show... it looks like some 90s 3D shit LMAO |

|
| I would have dropped this due to the laughable poor animation if it weren't for the fact androids exist in here. Show me more of Alma. |
 |
| Dios me libre y me guarde. I'm in physical pain. I cannot believe what I just saw. I was planning on watching this for the "so bad it's good" reason, like I did with Gibiate, but I don't know if I can't take it. Hell, Gibiate looks like freaking Kimetsu no Yaiba in comparison lmao And why are Saitou Souma and Daisuke Namikawa on this??? lol Anyway 10/10 so far. |
 |
| errrr...what's-up with the animation department...!?!? oh look at the score 2.95...imma score it also as 1/10 Appalling and it might just help on lowering down the score even more! LOLOLOLERZ 1/5. |
 |
| Literally a blessing from the anime god himself. I never saw myself potentially enjoying a first episode this much. Mega props to the production crew, especially the ultimate director-chad-san that is Kimura Yoshikatsu-sensei. Now that I've endured through the first episode, I would never have to worry about ever getting diagnosed with erectile dysfunction anytime in the future - because the blissful CGI's got me just that rock hard. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE KING!!! |
 |
| I could not believe it was this bad. I am in complete shock. How could any company release this? Everything about it is atrocious. Even the voice actors are just phoning in their performances. I feel so bad for the creator of the source material. |
SummerADDE said: I would have dropped this due to the laughable poor animation if it weren't for the fact androids exist in here. Show me more of Alma. Bruh what are you gonna do if you see more of Alma? Jerk-off? TO THIS?!? |
| The fact that this show has 8 production companies lead by one (Crunchyroll) who were founded by a love for animation is really just a disgrace. Not gonna lie, I don't hate the story but everything from the wimpy songs to the lack of animation, it just peeves me! |
| The most cancerous show of this year. I don't know if a show can get any worse than this... The first few minutes was the literal description of the year 2020 XD Literally these emojis are their reaction in every situation 😃😊🙂😐 And what's up with these High School Musical-ish OP and ED..... That Alma is an Android? You all seem Androids to me. I'm dropping this 😃 |
| I was looking forward to watching this and...what the hell is this lol. bastek66 said: Crunchy really killed credibility of it's Originals with shitty manhwas adaptations, Gibiate and now this. When Funishit takes over their asses will hurt a lot. Piromysl said: Holy shit! XD Main Character is is full 3D CG and the guy standing next to him is in regular 2D. This looks ridiculous. XDDDDDDD Yeah it's really incompetent.  https://gfycat.com/pl/unsightlyincompatiblekoalabear They could only afford to draw one character give them a break /s |

| Despite having only around 20,000 members this is the first anime forum I've seen that has active user interaction. Welp most of the users are just comparing Berserk and Gibiate to Ex arm not much of a surprise. NewGenWeeblet said: Yeah that rating.. I think this is MAL's worsest rating of all time, and I can't completely disagreed with it.. https://myanimelist.net/anime/3287/Tenkuu_Danzai_Skelter_Heaven Ever heard of this? |
 Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
| Very misleading score. This anime is not bad at all People seems to giving it low score just because of CG |
Story is great and interesting, BUT the animation is super weird and dubbing ain't synchronize. Remake this ASAP! lmao |
| How could you all...This is a masterpiece! |
 |
| never have I given a show a 1 but that has changed after seeing that first episode |
 |
| People watched the trailer and still decided to watch it just to rate it bad lmao I mean yeah sure shit was horrendous, worse than I expected but I think many people watched it without even thinking of ever giving it a chance. Don't watch shows after you've already decided to trash them lmao 2/5 episode, sound was good, CGI hell tho and very weird and abrupt cuts. Where was the ecchi?? I came for the ecchi. But yeah op and ed nothing special but cool, let's see if it ends up a trainwreck or there's redemption to be had |
| This anime shit is addictive |
Aan120898 said: TOG adaptation was okay but GOH adaptation was atrocious. The pacing was horrible and they changed a fuckton of stuff. The animation was legit great thou but that was cause of MAPPA. But yeah Tonikaku Kawaii anime was lit. Also Noblesse adaptation was decent too.MegamiRem said: So folks the anime that will surely live it's mark on history has finally started. Putting aside the absolutely non random, not cliche cringe stuff that happend I'm gonna praise how good the visuals were and the animation was legit the best thing. Forgot to mention, the voice actors are wasted on this show. STOP MAKING ANIME CRUNCHYROLL FFS. The only Decent Crunchy Originals was Tower of God, TONIKAWA, and The God of Highschool. |

| After Watched Ex-Arms, My first sentence that come into my mind was "WHAT THE F*** IS WRONG WITH THIS ANIME" It's kinda baffling that this ANIME is even worse than I could imagined. And that Imagination I create after I watch The Trailer. From Animation that so bad even compare it to Berserk and Gibiate was insult to it, Not to mention they blatantly Blend 3D CGI and 2D Animation with looks like almost not even effort to make it comfortable to watch. Animation Transition that so messed up that looks like someone who doesn't know Transition works and just make random scribbles just to Transit it. Character that just appear randomly with no single information and reasons about character and what they doing apart from Akira, Minami, and Alma. Character Design that Faceless, Heartless, even Lifeless. That I believe even children at elementary school can make even better Character Design than this Anime presented. Story was Confusing Mess. From one scene to another scene that have no explanation, relation, or even reason why they adding some scene in first place. But, I give it a chance just because this just one episode. If you already Confuse by Story enough, Don't worry because Camera Position and Visual effect especially for fire was gonna bring confusion into headache in matter of second. What make this anime more Insane is even OP and ED have a problem on their own. The OP Part not have any harmony to enjoy and Music Sound having quality problem. In the ED Part feels like looking at abyss, their no have any feels to them and Full of darkness from emptiness that through over it. What Am I even thinking to wrote this discussion this long, because everyone know is already bad. The only Good Thing that I find in this episode is Fighting and Shooting Choreography in first time is pretty good, If you ignore basically everything that appear on scene. Overall what a great recipe for one of the worst anime of the year or maybe even decade. This was beyond my imagination and Guess what, I already enter a Train Wreck Full of Flames. I can only torture enjoy this anime that serve to us with all kind of bad aspect in it. Hope, I can survive and keep my insanity safe after watching all of 12 episode. |

| Alright, this is it. This is the peak. This is the best anime we could've ever asked for. KEKW |
 |
| WTF Crunchyroll, why is this even funded? CGI was so fucking awful and even if the plot isn't that bad (meh at most) the CG made it looked bad. OSTs was fine, design was fine but the CGI! This is just painful to watch. The cast were wasted on this garbage. |
