A good episode, but I doubt they keep the same pace in the following, totally can not tell what the hype was successfully achieved, but we'll see how everything unfolds as the main anime is its extravagance and exaggeration, which ends up calling attention of fans of a good shounen.

This is absolutely fucking retarded.

LOL RANDOM SHIT 20 min... how can anyone even watch this without cringing all the time?

What a waste of fucking time. SHIT ANIME IS SHIT.

It also looks fucking disgusting. Yeah great animation, too bad it is wasted on artwork that looks fucking terrible. I mean why not just watch a cartoon instead, they look at least as shit as this bullshit.

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.

TTGL is 9/10. This crap is 2/10. Nuff said :) .

lol I love that girl who ate like with no manners then slept immediately.

My favorite scene would be when the top goons tried to prevent blood from hitting their most respected person and their shocked gasped as they failed lol.

If this was a classic shounen it would take about 100 or 200 episodes for the anime to reach this power up episode. Omg all that plot.

I hate it too, and don't watch TTGL it's at least as shitty as this anime.

It's just over the top random bullshit. Don't look for a decent story, characters or good comedy it's just like Loony Toons or some other random crap like that.

The story is pretty standard revenge fare (so far, they have of course 24 episodes to make it more meaningful) but I loved the old school animation and designs with the scratchy hand drawn texture. Feels raw. And the energy I got from it was something I haven't seen since Redline. Well done indeed Trigger, it seems like it will be quite a ride.

ANIME IS LITERALLY SAVED. I mean I knew it was going to be good because it's Trigger and has the same director as Gurren Lagann but OH JESUS FUCK THIS WAS AMAZING.

Oh yeah, how could I not expect the tits. It's GainaxTrigger after all.
Seeing as Gainax are producing nothing but shit for a very long time I think it's a safe bet to say Trigger have more or less completely taken their spot. Especially after the colossal failure of C3-bu.

Because you have to realize TTGL is one of the most overrated animes in history. Any type of feel and resemblance to it will give most people an orgy.

Woah, didn't expect this level of awesomeness. I wasn't convinced from the PV's thus far so I didn't expect much, but this was one bombshell of an episode! I love the concept the Goku uniforms, the Star rankings and the scissors. Animation was all over the place, some scenes are just breathtakingly beautiful and smooth and then others are jittery and plain ugly, even if it is for comical effect. I really didn't like the revealing sailor uniform at the end though, mainly because the sexuality of it feels so out of place in what its shown up to now.

The story so far was great and has me invested in future eps. Good show.

After reading the comments I'm acually surprised with how so many people loved it.
I didn't know people loved random brainless action so much?

Yeah, I agree with you on that, the semi-nude armour made the anime it even worse to me.

im sorry but if you have fairy tail as your favorite anime you have no right to call any other anime crappy. it seems like everyone complaining about the episode had some sort of weird expectation that this would be some deep show from the start when it was obvious since it was announced that this would be an action oriented over the top comedy. everyone else complaining just seems to be afraid of boobs...

It's easy to say something.

But it was good, It has a funny setting like i've only seen in Desert Punk.

Perhaps, with the Half-Scissors, It can surpass the drills of TTGL.

Can I ask specifically why you didn't like that? Personally, I'd much rather anime rip off classic literature than rip off other (usually bad) anime.

kinda okay, but what with all that fanservice again... if they made the sailor uniform not this ridiculous, i would give it a 5/5

(before anyone says something, i havent watched gurren lagan yet, but after this episode i might check it later)

eventhough, i guess i keeping with this one

Yeah, but I don't think there's much deeper meaning to the 1984 connection. Maybe there will be in the future, but I don't see much of anything at this point. There's no mysterious Big Brother figure, near universal surveillance system, brainwashing, thought police, or any of that sort of thing. The school in Kill la Kill just seems more like a "normal" violent dictatorship.

There comes a time when a person has to look back at what he did in the past, realize his own mistakes, apologize to people he disrespected and try to fix his past mistakes.

With that being sad, I'll say sorry to myself, seeing how I wasted 20 minutes of my short life and I promise I won't do it anymore.

Didn't like it, way too cartoonish, and I don't see the plot becoming interesting at all. Things like this just can't keep me excited. I was sure I'd drop this after seeing the first 3 minutes but somehow I made it till the end.

Very interesting, I was expecting it to be more serious though. I totally forgot about Trigger's previous works. Anyways it was a good first episode. Liking the art and animation, I hope that it will have an over the top climax just like TTGL. And I hope she gets some less revealing clothes.

Also I know that Lain looks pretty shit most of the time. It's nonetheless better than this garbage.
