Great first episode. I'm already loving Ryuuko. Good to see a bad ass female lead. This show is going to be a fun ride.

I loved it! I loved how over-the-top it was and the animation and the characters. Favorite of the season, at the moment.

Ho-ly shit, that was intense. Incomprehensible, wacky and awesome. It feels as if this is the second coming of TTGL.

a lot of action from the first episode. I am interested to see how it goes from here. I like that I had no idea what I was getting into with this, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

That was freaking intense.

The animation look old but its awesome nevertheless.

The action scenes are epic as hell.

Looking forward to more craziness this series has to offer.

You're watching history in the making, anime being saved as some people said.

Btw, this anime needs a catchphrase. "My scissors will be the scissors that cuts the heavens! OORRAAA!!!"

Intense First Episode

So Enjoyable !! so much stuff and action packed in 1 episode ( unlike some other anime which needs 20)
Hope the story will progress and have some Twists and Epicness as TTGL

Just had time to watch the episode. It indeed was so action paced, that I had a feeling it lasted only few minutes. The voice acting (especially Ira's) is insane, but I like it. The only thing that I didn't like is all the fanservice, but at least it is one of those kinds that look mostly hilarious and funny. So lets say I can get over it. The background music while Ryuuko was beating the crap out the boxer guy was awesome. And at least now we know the teacher knows about Sanketsu and Satsuki does know something about the Matoi family. I can't wait for the moment Satsuki will get to fight Ryuuko...or someone else. :) And is also interesting to know Sanketsu can absorb the power of the uniforms he's defeated in battle. :) Really good episode 1! :)

I was not expecting the show to look that...cartoony. I suppose I would've known if I'd watched any of the previews, but I didn't.

Anyways, that was a fun episode. I hope they can keep up that same level of insanity. The "best friend" chick is fucking random and fucking awesome. Hopefully she stays around for a while.

At first I didn't really like it and was a bit disappointed but by half way through it grabbed my attention and I was staring to like it. It gets an ok from me for now. I am not digging the art style to much right now but that was the first episode tho. I will definitely give it the three episode try because I feel like it is going to turn into something really good that I will like.

It was pretty fast pace, like watching Dead Leaves(which was only a movie so wow at this much intensity lasting multiple episodes worth) dial up to 11 and made that show seem tame in craziness. The scenes was awesome to watch but felt like they had no weight until around the 20:00 mark as Ryuko was executing her Finishing Move when that theme song kicked in then I was totally on board.

Kind of disappointed in her fighting outfit, thought she was cooler in her normal get-up but it looks like the outfit will evolve as the series go so hoping it turns out more badass in the end. It's not even a fanservice issue on my end, it just looks...lame.

lol@ Boxer guys failed Giga Drill Breaker attempt. I felt like that was Trigger's way of saying "Yeah we gonna go beyond TTGL in blowing your mind" right out of the gate.

Look forward to seeing how this series plays out. It's gunna be good when Satsuki has to take the stage to fight, I can feel it.

This is deliciously over the top, from the wacky art style to the "fascism-meets-school life" setting. Has the potential to be brilliant.

It looks like I'm the only one who didn't like this at all. Comedy, fanservice, action or whatever, it all seemed ridiculously bad to me. Yes, the art style did put me off but I'm not one to harp on about art at all. Everything about this first episode was close to being unwatchable, I had to pause more than 10 times.

I think I won't torture myself further than this, and would drop it now. I'm more concerned about TTGL as I had been highly anticipating to watch that for quite some time. If it is really that similar to Kill la Kill, it might be better for me not to watch that as well.

i dare say that was nearly as good as ep 1 of TTGL.

How is this a parameter for quality? TTGL first ep is 6/10 at best. The first is easily better than the entirety of TTGL but that doesn't say much.
simply cannot wait for next week
anime status: fucking saved

Saved from what?


because the first episode for ttgl is pretty much the best first episode in an anime
of course, you hated the show, so no amount of attempting to explain that to you will work

and for the second part, how big is the rock you have been hiding under?

hopefully this doesnt turn out like SNK though where everyone and their mother rates the series a 10/10 2 episodes in and it climbs to top 10 pretty much straight away, and attracts the worst fanbase around (currently held by snk)

as much as im currently loving this, im not going to rate it before ive even seen 4% of the show
nor am i going to be like an SNK fan and automatically disregard anyone with a differing opinion. i can see why someone wouldnt like this as much as i could see why others would love this, hopefully the rest of the fanbase at least stays slightly open minded

agreed I didn't really like TTGl but i managed to finish it. the art in this anime really put me off and the giant text. I hate dropping anime so i will have to finish it...

I was really looking forward to this, and by god it did not disappoint.

I've been a huge fan of this team's work since I was a kid watching FLCL. I've always loved their style of animation. Fast, over-the-top, throwing everything at you. I love their approach to their animation by having fun and letting themselves go. People complaining about the cartoon-y action seem to forget that anime are, well, cartoons (I don't care what anyone says, anime are cartoons, and that's not a bad thing), and that allows them to get away with crazy stuff like this, and not limit themselves with unnecessary realism. Also, their appreciation of the western anime fanbase just makes me love them a little more. Yeah, they may not be the most cerebral anime ever made, and not everyone will like them, but that doesn't mean it's not smart or well put together. Sometimes "simple" entertainment that succeed at what they're trying to do can be much smarter than something that tries too hard to be complex and thought-provoking. This anime reminded me as to why I love these guys in the first place, and I'm looking forward to more.

Lol, can't believe how enjoyable the main character turned out to be! Started off pretty lame, not really a fun of the ttgl wackiness type fights but main character is already lovable, badass, great voice acting befitting that and the embarrassing outfit contrasted that so brilliantly, was hilarious!

Ps: Matoi is an excellent main character so far.
