| Loved the episode- the OP (omg, Noel Gallagher! *_*), the animation, everything. I really hope they'll be back in Japan in episode 2, because while I was happy they hired English VAs for the American characters, their acting lacked something and felt forced. It was kind of awkward. >_> |
 |
| One of the most entertaining first episodes I've seen. Definitely sticking with this one. |
| Ummmm, wow I am really not sure how to describe my thoughts on this episode. It certainly wasn't what I expected...at least not with some parts anyway. |
Iriya said: If they keep this up, it'll probably be my favourite spring anime altogether. But I hope they manage to finish this off nicely with only 11 episodes.Holy shit, that was awesome. Favorite spring season show already. I can't wait for the next episode~ |
| REALLY good first episode. AMERICA, HELL YES!!! And, no Engrish. :') Lovely. |

| At the beginning, I thought the protagonist was a SMAP-wannabe, why is the guy totally naked in front of the white house holding a gun in one hand and an advanced cell phone in the other. The female lead was a girl who walk right in front of the white house and tried to toss a rock into the water fountain in the white house, sort of like a ritual of good luck. However, the local authorities didn't feel the same way.. A suspicious couple is on the loose, one was toss unknown objects into the white and the other was a naked male. Definitely suspicious!! Since there was an incident over a license plate in RideBack.. Not sure how the guy managed it but.. After saving the girl, she gave him a hat, a scarf and a coat to cover his Johnny. As soon as he ran off, he ran into a man on the street and flashed his Johnny, then the strange guy started taking off his pants on the streets and gave him his own so that he can cover up his Johnny. Since it took place in America, the stranger on the street is most likely gay. Anyhow, after fully clothed except for shoes and socks, he ran to his apartment and inside.. He got socks and shoes which means he is now fully-clothed in the cold weather but he found his closet to be filled with firearms of all sorts, multiple passports, as well grenades and photos which indicate to him that he was someone like Jason Bourne, a terrorist. Now that you mention it, this is sort of like the Bourne series, except that Bourne didn't showed his Johnny in front of the White House. This series is beyond my original expectations. Oasis even did the opening theme. It is definitely very interesting.. |

robosapien said: Kenji Kamiyama must really love Taxi Driver.... This is one of the best drawn works I've seen, no shit. This is so amazingly light and it works some how. Was smiling like the whole time. And the pacing is all there too. Must have learned something from Seirei No Moribito. Also holy shit @ awesome Engrish speakers. They actually hired people who know how to speak it or what? ah fuck it: REAL FUCKING ENGLISH!?!?! CENSORED ASIAN DICKS, ACTUAL COMEDY, LIKABLE FEMALE CHARACTERS!?!? Oh God this guy is a genius. After doing like gits sac and Serei he does this...wow. References were sweet too - he's open about it. I really hope this delivers. I'll feel like such a dick if this doesn't. But...I think it will...the pace and mood are epic. Pretty much sums up the awesomeness of this first episode. "Aren't you cold?" --> best reaction to a butt naked dude holding a cellphone and a pistol ^^ I'm still wondering how he managed to get a random man on the street to part with his pants in exchange for a peek of his weewee |
 |
| it was a good begining, and it makes me want to watch more, i like graphic. |
| Nice animation, seems like it'll be good, but Not really sure what's going on. The english was cool to...Urahara Out!! |

| 14 pages comments and 252 mal-users giving perfect score so far. 0_0 Well, I guess Im not the only one that was amazed by this first episode. Clearly outstanding! |
 |
| That was interesting. I liked how the Americans didn't have a Japanese Accent haha. I really liked that ending. It looked like it took awhile. I was laughing because of all the streaking ahaha. 9/10 |
| Wow. The ending totally reeled me in. :D |
 |
| Can't believe I took so long to check this out. Great opening (always love typography ♥), OASIS!, great animation, nice intro to the characters, NO ENGRISH. And the toaster made me think Jason Bourne, and this show gets even more points for actually mentioning his name. ;lkajsdfl;kajsf |

| Cool. Oasis in OP :O |

| Now that was amazing, wasn't sure what to expect when I decided to watch this series but certainly not a random naked guy waving a gun around who is supposedly a terrorist and has forgotten who he is, the ending has me hooked though, the opening is also really awesome I can tell this series is going to be great! |
| Wow, what an interesting first episode. I like the animation and what's going on in the opening vid, but I can see myself getting bored of the song itself. I'm curious to know what he said to get the trousers of that fella. The look on the policewoman's face was especially priceless. Praise to the voice over team. |
 |
| Outstanding! This series looks like it's going to go far, and a movie in the works too! |
| Ever since Stand Alone Complex's first season, I've noticed Production I.G. basically perfect the concept of realistic moving vehicles in anime. You can still tell they're CGI, they do stand out, but its not in a bad way, its all very good animation, still an immersive experience. The story and direction need no over the top praise either, this kind of quality is to be expected from everyone involved in the production. So far I'm loving it. I hope the movie references dont go too over the top however, I dont like blatant winking at the camera type homages. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Well... this was a good beginning of the series... I really like this anime. The ending secuense was strange, but I like it. |
| That was greatly balanced episdoe. Some mystery, intrigue, cool references, comedy was introduced effectively, not to mention the best english I've every come from any anime, subbed or dubbed. |
| Loooved the first episode. XD The English I heard in this series was unexpectedly good... "Akira" looks a lot like Morita from Honey & Clover though, admittedly. |
| I loved it. Akira's so hilarious, showing his "Johnny". |
| Did anyone ever notice that whenever the Japanese draw American people there face is always detailed to the last spec? And rarely will you see an American Anime character with huge eyes XD. I don't know if anyone noticed this or I'm just slow but go to the part Where the black guy comes out of Takizawa's apartment and then Saki asks him for his room number. Shes actually saying a line in english but it sounded like japanese: *Black guy comes out of door* Saki: Hwat's his hroom numbah? (I thought that was Japanese the first time I watched it XD) Guy: 3B I have no clue how that Guy understood Takizawa but he probably understood Japanese but didn't know how to speak it? |
| "My Johnny answered your wishes." Haahahh xD |
| <lol> Jason Bourne's passport... :D genius IMO at the streets should be more people :( |
| Ok, this anime was a big surprise so far...much MUCH better than I expected. A great way to start...and end...the episode. The OP and ED was amazing...the animation is Beautiful, the voices seem to fit and were chosen well, and the story is interesting and seems to only just be beginning :D. This is prob one of my top anime to watch right now...can't wait to watch the rest! |
 |
| loads of penis and american films worship way to start a serie |
| Finally! I got to go to a real life anime location! See pics below: Eden of the East / My pic   I wanted to take some pics from the show but since I didn't have screenshots this is all I got. |
 |
| In a bit of a dilema here. After still being in awe after watching Clannad AS, I keep wanting to compare anything and everything to it. Must stop! As predicted from Studio IG, looks very good and an intriguing start. Will be interested to see rest. Once AS is off my mind. |
 |
| The 1st episode was just perfect. Masterpiece!! And the art style of the OP and ending is awesome. |
| ...the only question I'm asking myself now is: why have I waited so long to see this? xD The OP is godly, I'm now addicted to that song xP "My Johnny got whipped out." ...I'm speechless. I am. The episode began really nicely and then it was just better until the wth-inducing end. I need the next episode nao. |

| This was a great 1 ep :D Lmao at the guy giving away his pants and then just waved happily after Akira :D |
| Pretty interesting ep. The animation is pretty pro and I't has a pretty high rating on MAL, so I guess I'l give this series a go. |
     |
| I didn't expect to like the art so much... |
| A very interesting first episode. |
| nice op :D LOL gay dude told him to give him to show his ahem, thing... for his pants LOL LOL love this anime so far, especially with that lady cop and the apartment scene xD |
| Weird episode, but I quite enjoyed it. |
 |
| Just by seeing the art/animation as 1st impression, I was seeing this to be a good series. The concept of the story is not clear, but I'm getting a hint it will be a little like Bourne Identity(movie). |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
Plate said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice cab. and i thought no one will notice that xD and same for dude's Johnny xD 5/5,great start ^^ |
