First episode leaked.

Didn't get your fill of shounen slop with Fire Force last season? Well don't worry, something even worse has you covered this season, from an assistant of Fire Force, no less! It's pretty obvious right off the bat as well lol. Like literally, Rudo is just an edgier version of Shinra. In fact, this whole thing feels like a more try-hard Fire Force overall. The art style and direction turned up by ten and thus make them absolutely vomit-worthy. I get why people like the manga to some extent. I mean, don’t get me wrong, the art there rocks…

…but here? God, everything about the visuals just makes me want to peel my eyes out. Anyway, the whole final scene with Rudo’s sensei or whatever getting killed, and him getting framed and sent to “the pit,” ends with him dropping such a “TufF and AurA liNE” as he falls... like come on. And sheeesh, that pit must really be garbage, because the CGI we saw at the end was 100% GARBAGE. SO yeah, it's a revenge story. Greaattttt. Don't have enough of those do we.

Seriously, even as someone who doesn't like the manga either, just read it over.. whatever this is. Bones really has lost any type of sauce they used to have.

And guess what the only positive thing about this episode was, yeah, not even something visual. Nope, it was the OP song playing at the end. Not just because it meant the episode was finally over, but because damn man, that song is a straight-up BANGER.

@Old_School_Akira theres a big difference from using cgi on a huge moving object compared to a still frame btw.

and yes, it is cgi if you could just use your eyes for once. oml how does one suffer from both blindness and iq problems, well that last one makes sense since almost all fans of this type of shounen slop as op called it suffer from iq problems like thinking shows like these r good

Not sure wtf is going on in this thread but the AX premiere just wrapped up for the first two episodes and it was a lot of fun. Reminds me of gurren lagann a bit with them basically living in filth and the short kid wanting to change society or whatever and there's also big monsters.

Rudo, who lives in a slum, typically sneaks into a garbage collection site to search for items that can still be used. Chiwa scolds Rudo because she is worried about him; the city residents are very strict about waste management.

There, he finds a teddy bear and decides to give it as a gift to a girl named Chiwa, whom he secretly likes.

The death penalty seems like a common occurrence in the slums. Regto adopted Rudo because he was a neglected child. Regto was killed by an unknown person, and since Rudo was the only one at the scene, the authorities accused him of murdering Regto. Regto was sentenced to death and thrown into the abyss, while Chiwa left Rudo, considering him a murderer. Abyss? Is that a monster made from garbage?

I'm very glad to see this adaptation airing; I love the original manga. Hopefully this will do well in this season with tons of other heavy-hitting action shows. It has great characters, great action, and is just consistently cool, for lack of a better description. Anyways; welcome anime-onlies :D

With that said, holy crap, this adaptation is awesome and exceeded my expectations, which were already pretty high. The manga's insane style is somehow not lost at all, which is a miracle. Seriously; hats off to everyone adapting this. The movement is so smooth and the characters are still so expressive. The sound design is phenomenal as well; I love how crunchy everything is, and as a musician, I love how the music is mixed into everything.

You can tell that Bones really pulled out everything for this. Honestly, episode 1 could work without any sakuga at all – we're not even in the battle shōnen part – but Bones still went above and beyond. For instance, the Rudo dodging bullet scene did not have to be so great.

Some people might complain about the CGI, but I'm definitely not going to. The CGI is only used in a way that makes everything seem "woah". When I was looking at the trash beast, the moving of all the trash only emphasized the sense of scale and sheer awe I felt.

Overall, I love this already. In case you can't tell.

Finally, it's interesting how the manga's opening page is being put into context, implying that it exists in a real-world setting. You know, the part with the trash bin and the ominous red glow? There are some interesting lore implications here.

Dubbed before subbed version on Crunchy?

I like it when a series features a setting that's showing the contrast between the upper class and slums. The set up here reminds me of Goa Kingdom and Grey Terminal from One Piece or if you just look at the slum Meteor City from HxH.

Solid start.

One of the adaptations I've been excitedly waiting for as it's a dark fantasy with an unique world building and story rather than the same copy pasta action shounen from jump.

The first episode is just the prologue where we got a glimpse in Rudo's character and their world. But that was just the surface (pun intended) and the pit is an entire different beast entirely. A whole new world awaits Rudo but for now he has to survive that trash beast.

Bones did great with the animation, visuals and captured the atmosphere of the world perfectly.

Actually a bit disappointed in Gachiakuta ep 1, not because it was bad at all and can be likely top 3 in a different season, it just didn't stand out good in comparison to the other shows this season story or animation wise so far. Hoping for it not to get buried though since this is the most stacked season in probably a decade.

Wait, is this pro-recycle anime, I hope it is because that'd be very cool, and quite original at least within animesphere.

Though opening with tragedy is not so original.

A bit of a slow start since we haven't even gotten introduced to the good stuff but the show looks great. Always a major plus when a battle shounen looks this nice because even if the story isn't particularly special, at least the fights will look good and that alone keeps the show entertaining for me.

Chiwa ditching him felt odd. Maybe it’s realistic but usually you see a character close to the Mc believe in him. Granted this might be to make us feel more for Rudo, but it just didn’t make me any more eager because now there’s really nothing waiting for him out there. I am still interested to see how what happens to him in the pit and where he’s supposed to from here.

Yeah after actually watching the episode I'm even more convinced of this, this wasn't nearly as bad as bro is making it out to be and most of what he's pointing out is just nitpicky shit for the sake of having something negative to say about "the new popular slop of the season" or whatever buzzwords people love throwing around now.

Solid introduction that introduces us to the MC and this world he lives in, and things escalated after he got wrongly accused of murder. As if his life could get any worse, right. I'm not even gonna bother complaining about the CGI trash monster at the end, as I've said before, CGI in anime is very rarely done well and is bad more often than it's good, so it would be a waste of words.

Yea this was fire, glad I went into this blind so all the twists and turns could grip me. I fucking love a good dark fantasy revenge story, the world, mystery and lore are intriguing and they showed just enough hints about everything to really keep me locked in. Got some plunderer vibes from this with the whole pit set up, but man I didn’t see Chiwa being a Rachel from ToG there at the end 💔

I knew the way this episode was going, either the uncle or chiwa were getting killed. We didn’t really have enough time with buddy for me to be that emotionally impacted, but the criminal justice system in this world is laughably bad. They didn’t even try to get to the bottom of the case, just instantly sentencing Rudo to death. Makes me think this whole thing was a set up, the killer showing up at Rudo’s “execution” is also sus. This probably has some connection to whatever is behind his hands’ appearance

Chiwa turning on Rudo hurts the most because that just shows you she always felt that way deep down about him and was just hiding it. Getting blamed for your dad’s death and then the one person you felt you could be at peace with betrays you. Rudo, we all support your revenge tour

Well this sure was a pilot, there was a lot to absorb here but i gotta say this was pretty unique, sure plotwise you can see where it was going from the get go even if i didn't expect the girl to react like that, opening song is pretty degen which i love, i expect the visual to be as crazy.

Now i still don't get what the story will be but i sure am curious, still i'm not hyping this up too much until a couple episodes release since i'm tired of getting baited by good pilots ruined by the rest of the show

A very straightforward shounen anime premiere with a revenge hook that wants you to have everyone above suffer after Rudo got thrown in the Pit. Like the song at the end of the episode ngl. Reminded me a lot of Deadman Wonderland in a way where Ganta was wrongly accused with murdering but thrown into the wacky ass prison world instead of a trash pit.
