| This show really is trying too hard. I was expecting a Mary Sue catgirl, but I guess they decided to start with Gary Stu first. What kind of audience is this trying to cater to anyway? They throw in yaoi elements and then a naked girl at the end. The story is a mess and with the way they're making this, they should've just made an AMV instead. Animation was terribly inconsistent. Some scenes had an immense amount of effort put into the animation while others had little to none. Stapling scenes like that together one after another really doesn't come across very well. I'll watch another episode or two and hope it improves. |

| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Well, it was definitely an eyegasm. I'm afraid the content will end up at most average though, like it often happens with things that look too good. Hard to say anything about the story yet, but the setting is nothing special. The MC is pretty likeable, but other than him there are just your usual stereotype characters all over the place. I'm almost certain that the white cat following Shiro is the Neko girl, it'd be nice to see what exactly is she. Lastly i hope for more of that Sawashiro Miyuki character, she's needed among all those bishonen guys. |

| First episode. Give it time. |
| Hmmm, 4 out 5. This anime is suffering from Final Fantasy syndrome: fantastic visuals and music, but the story and characters feel pretentious and make no sense. Course it's just the first episode though. Can't wait to see more. |
| Take out the BL element and this show should be decent |

| I liked the chasing scene a lot !!! A nice opening and many visual effects! I think i'll keep watching it! |

| Animation wise, this was fucking awesome! Hope the remaining episodes look as nice as this was did. Story wise, it wasn't anything special, good but that's it. |
| Between this anime and the budget for Fate Zero, it should be enough money to buy a small country and feed every homeless person in the world (not really but you get my point) And for people who keep complaining about it: -It's the FIRST episode. Since when do we ever understand anything with the first episode? Right now they are trying to get people interested. Even durarara was pretty weird at first. Flat characters: -Once again, first episode. Can't really expect much character development in the first episode. |
| Dat production value! Dat cast! This show is putting all the stops. And dayum dat naked Neko at the end. Hot. Hopefully this show doesn't follow the path of Guilty Crown with its combination of high budget + cast + hype. Then again it's only 13 episodes so it might be able to pull it off. |
 |
| This scene be pleasin' to me eyes: Can't pass any judgement after seeing only the first episode since nothing much happened. But eye candy art, some top notch animation and cool background soundtracks are guaranteed at the least xD |
| DAT animation DAT opening DEM bishies |
| Meh. That wasn't very good, nor was the animation as godly as people claim it to be. |
| The animation was EPIC *___* Like most opening episodes, it didn't reveal too much but looking forward to the upcoming episodes! |

| Nice episode, moe loli, awesome visuals/style, and epic sound track..... So far so good.... 4/5 |
 |
| Judging from posts and reactions from this first ep, I have a feeling it's going to follow the same path Guilty Crown did. |
|
| I wasn't really sure about this one but I'm happy I gave it a chance. It looks promising. |
| Damn just watched it ....its visually stunning. I assume its made by the people who did the Mardock Scramble since the animation is just about if not exactly the same. The only difference is that Mardock scramble is an ova so you expect that kind of animation this is a series so can't wait for future episodes. This season of anime looks much better than last season. There was hardly any ones that appealed to me. Finally getting tired of watching the romance show/slice of life aka sword art online . This season is gonna be good |

The rest of this episode was just trying to hard and didn't offer anything new at all it felt like a collection of several other anime. And the characters where all pretty stereotype. Basically i am repeating my last post my and things what several other people also mentioned here but for a first impression this anime really failed to make a good impression. kaykenner54 said: Not just the first episode of Durarara was bad the entire Anime was pretty bad in my opinion.Even durarara was pretty weird at first.

And i will watch the second episode of this Anime to see if it can redeem itself however i do not have much fate in that to be honest. |
| Why does the main chara has to be so gay? |
| So far, about everything about this anime seems right. My guess that this will be the most popular anime of the season doesn't seem too far off now. It's obvious they put a lot of efforts into this piece, so I hope it will be worth it. The only thing that could drag it down for me right now is the fanservice... Oh and I'm surprised how similar the protagonist's voice is to Eiji's o.o |
| The style/atmosphere and music are really good in this, judging from this ep alone. But as for everything else, I personally don't see what the big deal is. I'm going to watch at least one more episode to see where it's going, but I'm close to dropping it already. I just felt like there was way too much going on. All I really got from this as a first impression is that everyone's trying to kill the main character, and that was even used as a joke in the preview. The seiyuu are great, but they won't be enough to make me keep watching. Right now it really doesn't seem like much more than fujoshi fanservice (with occasional flashy fanservice for the guys, too), but perhaps the upcoming episodes will prove me wrong. |

Personally I thought for a first episode it left a good impression on me. I really didn't expect much to happen in just the first episode so I wasn't disapointed. The only thing I really didn't like was the awkward scenes (like the close up of kuroh) that just seems out of place. Also I don't think the studio is trying so hard. They are trying to make an anime that draw the viewers in. Even the female and male fanservice is probably so all the viewers can be happy. |
| Pretty shit ep 1 definitely turned me off |
| Wait a minute?! The manga says it's a "shojo" anime?!? Visually the show seems amazing. Story seems really lacking at the moment. It's just throwing out action scenes without any exposition to explain what's going on. There's also a lot of cheap shonen cliches being thrown around the make it look stylishly cool. I would really would like a show with a decent plot if they're going to high budget the animation. I hope things improve. |

Durarara!! may have been weird at first, but at least we got to know some the characters in the episode. Not too mention the ball for the story got rolling with Masaomi explaining about the wars between the color gangs, and how other characters acted. Hell, we even got a good understanding of Mikado & Masaomi's friendship. What did K do? Very vague introductions with animation that's great, but doesn't really deliver in anything else. |
 |
| ehh not sure what to think of this so far... interesting enough I guess... Also, Engrish really needs to be subbed as I barely understood what they were saying. |

| I loved the animation and the atmosphera. I MUST REWATCH IT IN 1080P ! But ...the main character seems to be boring...I didn't liked him... I'm expecting a lot from this anime, I hope this don't disappoint me. |
Cirris said: Wait a minute?! The manga says it's a "shojo" anime?!? Lol, just by looking the art style, it's pretty much obvious that it's a shoujo ( which aims at young girls mostly) where you can see a lot of bishies. The reasons why most pp watch this because of the visuals and animation, and music when they saw its trailer. |
| angela did it again. The OP was the best of this besides the visuals. Hope they can keep the quality up throughout the show. I'm curious where the plot might go. |

I understand that, but maybe episode 2 will be better. I just think it's unfair to give up on an anime with just the first episode out. Even if I don't like an anime, I have always watched at least the first 3 episodes before truly judging it. Unless of course the anime was just that bad and you could tell the animators just didn't care. |
| I planned on giving it another episode, don't get me wrong(I really wanna like this show), but to say this episode was anything but awful in terms of story is crazy talk. I think I knew more about LOST within the first episode than I did with K. |

Oh and I'm surprised how similar the protagonist's voice is to Eiji's o.o you mean eiji in bakuman? Eiji is voiced by nobuhiko okamoto shiro is voiced by daisuke namikawa their voices are kinda similar so i can see why you were mistaken |
| Lol i cant believe they made Shizuo the bad guy.. |
 |
| Well I can't force you to like it; I can't force anybody to like K. |
| Could someone tell me if this is a yaoi, shounen-ai, shoujo series, or is the main character just bicurios or something? |
| Im actually a bit disappointed. I must say that Art is amazing, effects are marvelous but story was lacking something. Well of course it was just a first episode, but imagine this anime with avarage graphics, would you watch it and like it as much? characters actually lack originality, *some badass guy with small girl (so many animes have this) *shizuo-wannabe (he even smokes and is a bartender! but where is your low awesome voice huh? !) *Main character looks like Shion from No.6, also he seems to have a crush on *handsome and awesome pony-tail man -.- (like Nezumi from No.6, or Kanra from d.gray-man etc ) Guess out of all characters the guy with skateboard looked most interesting and that handsome ponytail guy, because well, he is handsome LOL Also it seems it will be some Normal-Guy getting dragged into some uh-the-world-gonna-end event.. Kinda reminding me of No.6 where insects tried to end the world as well.. ´0.0 It's like they tried to bash Durarara and No.6 together, and bit of guilty crown =.= Overall art is really amazing but story seems to lack something original, at least now.

| This episode didn't do anything special plot-wise necessarily, but I loved it. It looked like a simple introduction to the setting of the anime, and wow does this setting look nice. I like the suspense so far, and the little spoiler of action we got. Characters seem interesting as well, and they all look pretty cool. The engrish made me lol pretty hard. I really liked the music so far, and the OP is pretty good as well. I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
| A match made in heaven set the fires in hell |
| This is some of the sexiest animation out there. Beautiful colors, contrast, and attention to detail. I hope to see more anime produced by GoHands in the future. I just lol'd at the horrible Engrish. I'm kind of confused, but I'm really interested. Looking forward to seeing what this show shapes up to be. There better not be any serious yaoi shit in here though. |
