| Don't know if this counts but FMP Fumoffu's first episode was one of the best from the series. Actually all the FMP's had great opening episodes. Also a big fan of Last Exile's first episode and Air Gear's first episode. For those saying FMA and Elfen Lied... FMA first two episodes weren't very good and I wasn't hooked until the 3rd episode. Elfen Lied's 1st was overwhelming but was a little weak compared to other episodes in my opinion. |

Anyway, I take it from fishing around in your post your reply was "You sure have a weak state of mind when it comes to gore and violence. Shuda seen Gantz."? Gantz was about the same on the Gore levels as Elfen lied but it was more "spread out". The goriest part of Gantz however would be in the second season but I'm not going to tell you as its a SEKRIT. |

Its just that elfen lied was really QQ worthy apparently i am not matured enough to watch stuff that depressing but gantz apparently has a comedy tinge to it |

Its just that elfen lied was really QQ worthy apparently i am not matured enough to watch stuff that depressing but gantz apparently has a comedy tinge to it Well it's true Elfen Lied tugs at the heartstrings quite a bit and there are some, how do I put this, "controversial" scenes in it. Unlike most saddening anime I have watched (whether they be dominated by the theme or just specks of it) I got depressed halfway through the series as opposed to the end with most shows. It didn't get any better it just got worse. Elfen Lied goes deeper than the "senseless violence" that many ignorant viewers seem to deem it as. Elfen Lied is one of those anime you just have to finish because of the story but when you're done, you don't want to watch it again regardless if you rated it a 10 or a 1. Now I'm not going to go on a long winded explanation of the Pros/Cons and the "symbolism" in Elfen Lied as I'll be here all day but I think its say to say that it's a must watch for any serious anime fan/collector. |
| Without a doubt, Needless. First, the opening gets you hooked. The music is just pwnsomenessly. Then, all the ackshun (I don't feel like spelling correctly today) scenes just blow yur mind! Then, ecchi fanservice equals NGUYEN! (WIN!) |
| ^ Are you kidding me? NEEDLESS was awful, I didn't even finish the first episode, lol. Best first episode is Ga-Rei: Zero for sure. Jigoku Shoujo is really good too |
 |
| Death Note |
| I have a hard time remembering the first episode of any of the animes on my list, but I remember that I loved Seirei no Moribito from the very beginning. So I'd have to go with that. |
| Must be Code Geass. First ep hit me quite hard. |
 |

First ep hit me quite hard. Probably the very end of the ep after he got his geass But I wont give them my favourite cuz it was only a few seconds of excitement.... = / |
 |
| it Rurouni Kenshin first ep *_* |

| Definitely Death note. However I think the second episode was better than the first, because of the whole Lind L tailor thing :P |
| Karas, I remember when first ep was out, I lived with 4 another guys, all of us liked anime and one of them watched it repeatedly for 4-5 hours (ok, he was crazy) but still everybody got captivated by it. |
| This season, the best first episode is definitely Dance in the Vampire Bund. The first ep of it is a tv show about the existence of vampires... so breathtaking! I've never seem a anime similar than this =] |

Jumperboy333 said: ^ Are you kidding me? NEEDLESS was awful, I didn't even get it a proper chance! Edited to say that you have no right to judge the anime. I thought it was "creative". The mix of action, comedy and ecchi hit all the right spots. |
| I think kuroshitsuji is the BEST!.. monochrome no kiss the best song i have ever listen :D |
| Death Note, Elfen Lied, Ouran High School Host Club, I don't remember others... |
   |
| High School Girls - hot damn! girls think like that?! KareKano - that was just hilarious. Kino's Journey - it's stand alone and I needed to know more of that world Mnemosyne - that first ep really pulled me in. Tenjou Tenge - badasses kicked by badass babe Great first episodes persuades me to watch more than just 1 episode. Incidentally, I second Ga-Rei Zero. That was seriously messed up. A first episode were |
| Cross Game without a doubt. It made me sad. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Trigun :3 |
 |
| Death Note, by far. |
| "Simply by the presence of butthurt, this level of reasoning is possible for Furudo Erika. What do you think, everyone?" |
| The ones that gave a huge impact and captivated me into wanting more are: Ga-Rei -Zero- {most shocking opening} Death Note {straight to the point} The Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzumiya {messed up order one was unique} Higashi no Eden {johnny} Lucky Star {pretty much was a WTF moment seeing the OP} |
| Samurai Champloo |
| It's D.Gray-Man for me~! :D |
| death note. |
| Higashi no Eden, because it was really funny, but at the same time serious and it seemed like it would be a really interesting and smart anime. Death Note, well, the feeling you get from the first episode... I'm hoping I will get that feeling sometime again when I'm watching a new animes first episode. Ouran High School Host Club was funny and gave a good preview of what was to come later on. |
 |
| Elfen Lied, Like a rollercoaster-ride for 20 minutes. |
| Code Geass Death Note maybe even..11eyes |
 |
| Higashi no Eden (weird, but interesting first ep) Elfen Lied (nice and agressive ^_^) |
 |
| Red Garden for sure. It got me hooked up right away. |
 |
| Elfen Lied Death Note |
| i thought the first episode of kaliedo star and durarara were awesome |
| hayate no gotoku :)) |
 iLOVEYOU;) |
| One Piece, Pandora Hearts, Death Note, X, and Le Chevalier D'Eon |
| Death Note |
 |
| for me it was death note..seriously because of hundres animes i watched this anime caught my attention the most and give motivation to me to continue it! |
| I'm weird, throwing Outlaw Star into the best first episode. Cowboy Bebop never had much story to me. |
