| I noticed that not only the first ep not only discuss the storyline of the anime, but it also bring you the motivation to continue watching it. Then according to you, what is the best anime first ep you have seen? For me, it is definitely Ga Rei Zero = ) Reason? It was a really strong ep with intense music during the fighting parts. Also it creates a mystery on the first ep which makes you want to watch more to find the answer. |

| Cowboy Bebop, without a doubt. |
| It's Death Note for me. |
| Elfen Lied. Jaberlen said: I agree. Good first episode as well. The problem is that the anime never becomes as fantastic as it's first episode was inquiring in this particular case.

Glad someone likes it as well XD If an anime's every episode is just as good as the first spisode, then wouldn't that will automatically be a high ranked anime? I mean, it is also really hard for staffs to keep up the freshness of that certain anime. |

| Cowboy Bebop and Elfen Lied |
| Agree with Ga-Rei Zero and Elfen Lied. |
We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united. |
| I actually think that Bebop's first episode was one of the weaker ones. I thought Samurai Champloo's first episode was mind-blowing, though. Also Texhnolyze, but only if you're into that sort of artsy thing. |
  The Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai. You will be honored to accept his invitation. |
| Theres too many to name, but for me its a tie between Trigun and Gurren Lagann |
 |
| Elfen Lied and Shikabane Hime are two stand out choices for me. Most of the anime I like didnt find its groove til the second episode though, Higurashi, Umineko etc all fall under that category. |
 |
| cowboy bebop and death note |
 |
| Death Note- very engrossing from the start. Gintama- unpredictable, crazy and one hell of a hilarious ride. |
| Best first episodes go to Shigofumi, RahXephon, and Chaos;Head. For best first episode, without taking into account anything else, Windy Tales wins by a big margin. |
Confucius say man who stand on toilet is high on pot. |
| Pandora Hearts and Fairy Tail. Gomen. |

| Seriously I don't see what everyone saw about Elfen lied 1st episode, does everyone get so freakin excited about a gorefest? |
| |
| I would say Chaos Head's first ep is unique. It is one of my favorite , though it is not my best. I don't really know why... |
|
| I'd say To Aru Kagaku no Railgun has the best 1st ep. .after seeing Misaka's signature move, Railgun, you'll crave to see more of it! hahaha! |

| Elfen Lied Death Note Ga-Rei Zero GTO Basilisk can't remember the others... |

What's this anime about? What will happen next? Who is this girl? That's what make it great, not only this... "gorefest" as you denominate it. Learn to see further than the obvious.Seriously I don't see what everyone saw about Elfen lied 1st episode, does everyone get so freakin excited about a gorefest? playnippon said: That hitted the spot. Excellent first episode for an excellent anime all the way to it's end. Nice!Basilisk I forgot to mention Kurozuka's 1st episode, continuing with the "gorefest" theme lol! Oh, and last but not least: Ergo Proxy's : ) One of my personal favorites. |

| Futakoi Alternative |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| Texhnolyze - It didn't win "Best Dialog in Anime" for the first episode for nothing! Desert Punk - If only the rest of the series were as stupid/weird as the first. |
| Off the top of my head would be Fairy Tail. Couldn't stop watching it after that episode. Then I read the manga until the latest chapter. 162 chapters in a day. YES. |

There's nothing behind the obvious, it builds mystery in a gorefest episode. It could've been done in a different way, It was throwing fanservice at our faces and that's the best way to make people stick with it. It was a good start, but extreme, it tryed too much to be artistic, bu a naked girl on rampage in a facility isn't anything original nor artistic. I liked the music. |

| Tower Of Druaga (shield, ie: season 1) that first ep is easily the best 1st ep I've seen, a definate must-watch, even if you don't watch the rest of the series. |

I liked CB's first episode, it was fastpaced and one of the better episodes. But nothing beats the first Tsuiokuhen episode. |

Wilio said: ladyxzeus said: Haruhi. Sorry. Depends which first episode you're talking about. The one "out of order". Honestly, I thought that episode alone is one of the best of the history of anime, and there really isn't a better way to start that series. |

| Code geass.At the end "Lelouch Vi britania commands you.....to Kill yourself!" |
ShadowbladeEdge said: Hellsing isn't really pornographic in nature though. Well maybe a little, but not like Elfen Lied. Elfen Lied, pornographic? wut? It was impressive first episode in a way, but the amount of gore was just ridiculous. I actually laughed a little at how everyone spills 150 liters of blood around to roof and walls when they lose their heads. Anyhow, i gotta agree with ladyxzeus, haruhi 1st ep was quite epic (and retarded) But i still dislike the series and about everything in it. Also, Shigofumi. The first two or three episodes made me watch the whole series, later episodes weren't that impressive IMHO but the beginning was awesome indeed. |

| So many people saying Gintama, I thought the first 10 episodes were the worst. Best first ep for me is TTGL, hands down. |

ShadowbladeEdge said: Pretty much single-minded aren't we? "Comprehend" that it wasn't meant for you to keep your whole attention on just the girl, there were other factors to be "comprehended" = no porno, no vibe, etc. If the "porno vibe" affected you, then you seriously got nothing out of it. Just the satisfaction of seeing another naked girl for the first time out of the real life. Good for you *clap, clap*.Pumpernikkeli said: In nature, it clearly isn't actually pornographic, it just exudes that vibe.

| Ga rei zero i guess |
| After thinking about it... The best first episode for me would be Honey & Clover. |
