Bones = <3 in 2008
not only did soul eater become awesome, but even this is pure gold.
i had to kill my firefox in order to play the HD version without any lag... and thankfully, it worked, and now, i can enjoy the episode without having to get a new PC.
the animation was top quality (expected from BONES). the character design was awesome (eureka 7 was what it reminded me of sometimes). the setting is pretty interesting. and the characters are just love.
haru is cute
the voice actors did a superb job. i don't know what else to say. i am just too impressed.

the OP and ED grew on me faster than i thought, i love it.

I'm sold. That was some great animation work by Bones again.
Loved the setting, it reminds me of Last Exile.

Also, Nakiami's flying machine (though it is based of Nausicaa's) looks like Spike's one. Maybe a cross over?

Holy pasta! This is bloody great, what a surprise! From the animation, music (can't go wrong with a Boom Boom Satellites intro) to the character designs and acting, it all screams quality. I was worried what would replace Code Geas R2 and and Macross Frontier this season after their close, I now have my substitute!

QFT. It has a mix of Eureka Seven and Last Exile vibes going on and just a dab of RahXephon. Put it all together and it seems like we could get something amazing out of this. I'm eagerly awaiting the next episode.

Don't miss the Nausicaa vibe. It's quite strong. :3
Yea, I sense this as well. It's all the more for me to watch it. And the OP is addicting lol.

But not as funny as Eureka 7's first episode. When Renton complains about how it's the worst city to live in, or when he falls off the cliff.

This is one of those shows with lots of boring military and school life, except without being boring about it. And quickly turns into something not boring.

That is, as soon as the white haired girl appeared. I don't know who she is, but I love her.
I hope she's not dead.

Finally got to watching this -- now I really want to marathon all that's out, because the story shown in this first episode had lots of promise. The animation was really neat too -- so much movement!

I <3 you, Bones.

I remember when I saw the PV around middle 2008, and I planned to check it later, but I had not a chance till today. And I didn't expect it to be this good.

Holy shit, the animation. They're gonna keep up something like this for 26 episodes? Did they rob a bank for the money or what?

There is just so much awesomeness in this episode, not just the animation. The OP and ED were great. Large cast of characters. Setting looks solid. Everything is done very well.

It's got me hooked :o That was a brilliant first episode!

It's so rare finding such great quality OP and ED songs, especially ones sung in English o.o

Excellent first episode. Yes it's like a more mature version of Eureka 7, but something in the atmosphere also reminded me of Memories. Truly a potent combination. Hope they make the best of it.

What an impressive first episode, great development in the first episode already with a nice calm atmosphere but with a wonderful pace in the episode! And already ending of this great first episode with a cliffhanger!

Really impressed by this first episode, great action and character development already so I'm looking forward for what's next!

Nice animation. The intro is catchy too. Enjoyed the setting. Reminds me of Eureka 7's but more "fantasy" based rather than scifi.

I was also thinking the same about it having a eureka seven vibe (absolutely love E7!) time to binge watch all 26 episodes in a row!

Holy SHIT the production values!! The complete lack of CGI or cheap direction on all the complex objects, shots and movements is sorta weirding me out. I'm so used to the usual corner-cutting but there was absolutely NONE of that here. They honestly seem to even almost make a point of animating as many movements as possible. It's so refreshing. Sasuga Bones.

Really liked this first episode. Dunno how the rest of the show will be, but this was at least great. There seems to be a very colorful cast of characters, with fun characterization, and some great mystery. It doesn't seem like anything especially new or unique, but it's very snug and enjoyable.

And the OP and EDs are so good ahh

I heard this anime doesn't deliver on what the story promises, but I'm gonna give it a shot anyway. I love Star Driver and Captain Earth, Even if they aren't as great as they could be. Hopefully I will love this show too.

The last english dubbed anime I watched was Hunter X Hunter 1999. I guess it's time to go dub again. I like the dubs from this time period. Unlike like the dubs from 2010 onwards, these VA's have more heart and quirkiness. I'm all in for it. But I'm gonna watch Xamd like my rewatch of Cowboy Bebop. Every other episode I'm gonna alternate jp dub and eng dub. Let's see how it goes!

BTW what a great blast from the past reading about the PSN store video. I remember when they wanted you to pay 70 to 100 dollars for each INDIVIDUAL episode of the Gundam Unicorn OVA. Those were some wild times. Thankfully I am a proud member of the Straw Hat crew. Pirating for Life!
