I'd say it's definitely worth it, at least the OVAs. This is honestly a pretty rewarding series to watch, in a sense. By the way, which MAL page does Episode 0 fall in? Kyousou Giga (TV) or Kyousou Giga (TV) Specials? Episode 0 is the first special. |
 |
| I love how this anime is telling its story. The kinda confusing backstory first, and then the clarification as the episode moves on. And the visuals are amazing! |
| This was pretty good. I'm impressed. I guess I should watch the OVA's and ONA's sometime too. |
 |
| ok that was interesting to say the least |
 |
| I remember being very touched by the ONA, this episode brought back those sensations again. That feeling of family separated but the potential for reunion, I love it. |
 |
| YES. I loved it. Tons of spunk. They even threw in a bit of story!! Though not as spunky as the OVAs. I love Koto! And Kugimiya Rie's boyish voice is lovely. |
| Excellent, excellent stuff. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Anime of the season, calling it now. |

| some answers! yay! but the way they represent the past, i like it in the ONA so much better. that last episode of the 2012 ONA was just great. more of showing rather than telling. this one just adds details to the ONA and next episode is about the Shrine. one feature they havnt explored so much..... i wonder how that same Inari can be in Koto's dimension. did he reincarnate into the same person or what |
| 04:27 stop shaking your head, kono baka usagi 05:59 rabu de aru 21:56 Aru Erurikku! Not bad. 7/10 for this ep. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| I have not watched anything else related to this series and this blew my mind! That Soundtrack, that animation, that really interesting and unique plot. If it stays as good as this episode was this will be my anime of the year easily. |

AnimeCrusader said: you sure you didn't just watch episode 00? (like someone already did before)To make the difference, I 'll say that this was a nonsensical first episode. Pretty average series, stereotypical themes but it has some interesting presentation. I 'll watch it because there are no better anime airing out there for this season (except the ones that are continuing), it feels the most "unique" among them. 5/10. |
 Fixes to make the Profile more bearable after "the Modern★Profile★Update★★Rip★Profile★" |
| I have this bizarre feeling that this will be really good. I love the visuals, the concept the OST and so far the characters. So, I'm expecting great things from this. YumeNoMonogatari said: "Ai!" "Ai!?" "Ai!!" "Ai?" "HAI!" |
 |
| Strange :p |
| holy shit this show made sense for once next week some background on the Head Priests and Koto still not a 100% sure who the scientists are though. |
 |
| This was kind of amazing and surprisingly easy to follow. I love it! Best of the season! |
| This episode was fascinating. I'm so excited we get to learn the backstory behind this world and see Myoe and Koto be adorable together. Too many feels! |
| Loved it! It's so good they started with explaining things, 'cause i had sooooo many questions after watching ONAs. It's a pity that there will be only 10 episodes. Such a crazy show deserves MORE!! |
  |
| Understanding more is a good sign :) |
| Wow, just wow, the way Toei has been putting the puzzle pieces together since the OVA is amazing. My anime of the year. |
| And with this episode, this is my favorite anime of the season right now. The music is absolutely fantastic and they made such a cute little family. I haven't watched any of the OVAs though or anything. I did watch episode 0, which is apparently a recap of the OVAs? I think I understood most things in this episode, but would watching the other stuff make things clearer? |

What hasn't been properly recapped yet are the 5 ONAs but I get the feeling the season will cover them. In any case, they're still very much worth watching especially now that you've seen episode 00 and 01. They'll make sense and it'll help piece together the puzzle that is Kyousougiga. |

I'll check them out then. Thanks! |
| Wait I'm a little confused as to why everyone's calling the monk inari? I guess it's possible that he's the reincarnated (original) Myoue but I was thinking that [new]Koto was [new]Myoues dad instead of Inari. but that's just based off of the scene in ONA episode when Koto talks about the beginning and the end just like the [old]Myoue told to[new]Myoue in the dream flashback this episode. also, damn! Why everybody gotta have the same freaking name?! [EDIT: actually, Seeing Inari being refereed to as a fox and the rumours of [old]Myoue being half fox or something like that.. maybe both him and [new]koto are the monk |

| So much things happened in this ep and also a few confusing parts, that my brain almost couldn't process it all in a chronological order... This is indeed very interesting, will continue to watch more of it. 5/5 |
 |
| Yay! Loved it already. It's great to see this show with slower pacing and better explanations. I'm very curious to see all of the characters. Also, who's the girl that was making out with [new] Myoue? |

[EDIT: actually, Seeing Inari being refereed to as a fox and the rumours of [old]Myoue being half fox or something like that.. maybe both him and [new]koto are the monk I don't know if "Myoue" is his real name, but with this episode (and after watching the ONA 4), it seems that Myoue is a title. In buddhism, when someone becomes a monk, he/she will be given a new name or "title" ( I don't know if it's really like this in japan, but I think it works in the same way). And that's how Yakushimaru became the new "Myoue". So "Inari" is maybe his real name or maybe a title or maybe someone else. But I don't think Koto is his "dad". No matter how I like at it, Koto is a girl, and it looks like Myoue will develop romantic feeling for her. |
| Pretty nice intro to some actual story. I was hoping it would keep the pace/chaos of the ONA... it didn't, but I still liked it. |
  |
| Well this certainly made a lot more sense than episode 0, which I thought would give me some background. |
 |
| This is great. I've seen the original OVA, but I think I should watch the ONA's since I enjoyed this so much. The art, colors, ost, and characters were just fantastic. This is right up my alley. |
  |
| boring for me, have fun watching it. I won't continue ^^ |
| Stunning visuals. And story is making sense now. |

itsTriz said: So much things happened in this ep and also a few confusing parts, that my brain almost couldn't process it all in a chronological order... This is indeed very interesting, will continue to watch more of it. 5/5 It really sounds like you watched episode 0 or the ONA, because this first episode made sure everything happened in chronological order... |
| Finally we get to see an account of the back story of the three siblings who are shown having a meeting in ep.0 and who is the "Koto" mother they are referring to. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Looks like I found my favorite anime of this season. Everything is great - visuals, sounds, story is interesting (though not sure in which direction it is heading), also it does make sense (was afraid that I'd just be all over the place, glad this isn't the case). Oh and it reminds me of Tatami Galaxy :o) |
| I did not understand episode 1 at all, can someone explain what happend? |
| HUGE improvement on the shitty 00 episode. This show has my attention now. |
| Wow, I'm surprised at how much more I enjoyed this than the OVA/ONAs. Came in expecting random happy-go-lucky fun. I'm amazed at how good it was while becoming so much more serious. I actually hope it keeps like this... reminds me vaguely of FLCL, with a mysterious girl hunting someone across galaxies/dimensions and the utter randomness, while occasionally becoming serious. I wouldn't mind some of the randomness from before, but I definitely hope it keeps this seriousness as well. |
| 4/5 While not following the ONA, this did not alter with the beginning of the animated series, which has already given from the start, with this first episode test to be quite clear as texture. Although the story was funny, I had a feeling of sadness in certain situations. Character special design and color design are really nice kit from the story, which is quite smooth. : D I hope it proves a production with a certain thickness! Belle also the BGM! * _ * For now I'll stop on a 4/5 as a vote! ^ _ ^ |
 |
| that was freaking great, im so entertained by the creativity and how colorful this is, the music is fantastic and the op and ed songs are phenominal I'm a bit saddened that this is only 10 episodes but it looks like this is going to be a series im going to really enjoy |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Well count me in. This so far is the only new show this season worth watching, from what I have seen. 10/10 |
 |
| A little confusing but many elements are made clear in this episode. Intriguing, will keep watching! |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
