THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Yeah, that was kinda strange. It takes place in the real life with the protagonists at first in a normal environment and Shun seemingly having a normal life. Until of course, he gets transported into this other world.

I feel kinda underwhelmed by the first episode. It's not bad but just feels kinda uninteresting. Although by storytelling standards, Emilio has more control of his powers. Wish we knew more about him but I guess we'll find out for rest of the season. It has 24 episodes (2 cour) so plenty to develop...

Well no wonder he like crystal. Her parents are an archeologist
Somehow, it feel cliched about Emilio. The former Prince that become an assassin. Not pro assassin, though. Just for revenge.

That was decent. The two mains are alright so far, their backgrounds got explained quite well.

Seems like it's fantasy, i dig it.

Strange adventure fantasy. Feels a bit rushed.

Emilio switched from adoring his father to being hell bent on revenge just from hearing some maid gossip? I find that hard to believe.

Too much happened in one episode. The pacing is a little too fast, especially for a two-cour series. It's pretty generic too. Lol, that purple-haired prince tried to lay a Macbeth move (and failed)

Oh jeez... I was dragging through the first 10 mins... cannot stand it. Feels like a crabby mix of God Eater x Guilty Crown x Zetsuen no Tempest (maybe). And the OP showed a fluff animal.

No way.

Bad music, poor animation. Another show where everything is half-assed because it's meant for little kids.

I find it so lame that such "revenge" seekers will kill the guards like that's what they're made for and when it comes to the actual effin person, you open your bloody mouth before you intend to kill. What the hell kinda intention is that? Poor guards, they're human too. So irresponsible, so idiotic, so utterly ludicrously stupid.

People who want to kill will kill. That's the whole point of stealth and the intention to kill. Dumb kid. He should die. Such MCs should die within the first 5 mins of series.

Pretty meh Episode.

Like it's not really bad but it's not very good either.
The animation seems pretty decent as well with some of the OST.

The bad thing about it is that I find the MC kind of an idiot, I am quite interested in Emilio of course seems he has somethings that would keep me going I guess.

I don't want to write it off yet but something felt off this first episode. I can't really grasp what it is and why it throws me off but it's there.

Still I won't be impatient since this is a 2 cour show. Judging it like that when it's only 1/24 in would be too harsh from me so I'll wait.

I could barely watch the entirety of the episode. Plot seems pretty generic and I don't like the main character's personality or lack of intelligence. From the looks of the OP and ED of the first cour, the first season seems to be just strengthening of the two main characters' bonds.

I bet the ending will cause them to clash in some cliche battle because of a misunderstanding or difference in morals; either that or it's a rescue story.

I hate the fact that they only have the real world setting to establish his family's fascination with stones/minerals/crystals, although it'll probably be the main theme throughout the story.

Not my cup of tea. Probably going to drop this one.

I only watched this anime because it was anime original. The first episode was kind bland but i will give it the benefit of the doubt and give it some more episodes. It has potential but they need to do some stuff with the fantasy world. There also some cliche moments but it wasnt bad. Even if this show is good there are others that are likely to overshadow it
Grimgar season 2 please!!!!

This felt like some old school adventure (well the PV already gave off that vibe). Reminds me of Arata Kangatari. Even the OP song and bgm have the type of old school feel. Not a bad thing, but the characters aren't very interesting so far. Their character designs are bothering me, even though I didn't take much notice when it was first announced. THOSE UGLY RED SOCKS. Shun is a walking fashion disaster. Emilio's semi-midriff top is always really odd to look at. Sorry Rurouni Kenshin mangaka...not sure what you were thinking :/

It is just the first episode though, and it got 24 episodes despite being an original. I'll give it a few more episodes.

I normally hate fantasy anime, but I can see this one has potential. The first episode is quite a few things thrown at you at once, but it's decent. It's sort of a mixture of like... SAO and No.6. That's the feel I got from it. I know it'll be better than SAO.

I am really surprised that I didn't drop this first episode during the first 9 minutes which were basically about nothing. Well it was introduction of MC but the more he got introduced the less I liked him.

Then again the first 9 minutes are about nothing and then suddenly we have "transported to fantasy world" storyline.

Second part wasn't that bad but it definitely wasn't anything great either. Like the fight between the prince and the king was basically first some spear swings till eventually just sound effects while seeing the faces of characters. What is the purpose of fantasy setting and characters fighting when those fights are poorly made.

Still it wasn't complete tragedy and there was that one moment in which MC goes...

"MY EXCALIBUR GIVE ME STRENGTH" - and yep I laughed at this one.

Most likely I will not watch the next episode although who knows I might watch it. For now though let's add it to watching list with 5 score.

but scenery from when the portal opened definitely didnt match where the portal spit red MC out...

anyway, overall this looks really gay; nonhuman characters look awful; no hint of direction where this is going or what its about.

Why is this getting more hate than Mayoiga? Mayoiga had a cool scene the rest was crap, this was decent through all the episode.

We still don't know anything about this new world but I liked this beginning, it might become a great adventure. The characters aren't overly generic which is always a plus.

Crazy spiky hairstyle protagonist cliche? Check
"Transportation to other world cliche"? Check
Protagonist getting "OP OMG MINDBLOWING" special weapon cliche? Check
Protagonist's weapon is a sword cliché? Check
Fantasy in the other world cliché? Check
Main protagonist's "color" has to deal with fire and red cliché? Check

And finally...
Retarded people(Real world) "shipping" a male and a male cliché in anime? Check


Fucking garbage shitty anime, I hate it when females say stuff like "LOL I SHIP -MAIN PROTAGONIST- AND -MAIN PROTAGONIST'S FRIEND- LOL IM SO FUNNY" fucking terrible...

Not to mention the artstyle like the eye gap between the characters are so fucking bad and the bright colors are even more worse, not to mention the setting is in the future so it actually becomes boring to you when theirs a bunch of random holographic stuff that makes no sense which leaves you bored of the detail.

I'm going to give a guess and say in the next episode main protagonist will say where he's from and how he got their touching the crystal, blah blah we skip to the almost end, a big bad guy shows up, main protagonist's friends that he made will say something like "I believe in you!" or "Don't give up!" and main character will stab the bad guy with a loud "REEEUUUUUGUGHHHHHHHHHH" mad scream.

If I had to use a word to describe my first impression of this, it'd be mundane. The two main guys seem pretty bland and very cliche in character type. The side character and antagonist are very cookie cutter as well. The story so far is nothing special or too creative and the art is very meh. Coupled with the "Shounen & Fantasy" tag makes me nervous to watch this, but what the hell. I'll not use my better judgement.

2 male mc seems like a very good premise. Naruto, HxH, Fullmetal Alchemist and many succesfull one has this criteria. Hoping this one can be one of the better anime later in the series. Promising start btw.
