| No drama, MC isn't annoying (a rare feast these days), great pacing, doesn't attempt to treat itself seriously, no lore infodump, and it's actually fun to watch. I picked it up on a whim, and it's the first good decision I made this year. Hopefully it maintains this episode's quality throughout the season. |
     |
| Nice start to the series! MC isn't as cool as the MC (Nanashi) from the game, but he seems to fit the series. It was nice being back in Akiba fighting Synthisters! This will definitely tide me over until I can play Akiba's Beat in March! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| Wtf is this but I think I'm in love. :D That was nice introducing for the firs episode. I enjoyed firs episode... |
| after watching this, it makes me want to play the game again ^^ |
| This seems so average but the masochist in me doesn't want to drop yet. |
| Alright first good thing about this is the OP and ED songs. Kind catchy. Some of the comedy was a bit cringeful, but still I kinda enjoyed the episode. P.S that 'moi' girl is kinda annoying. |
| damn, the forums these days... |
| This felt like a less polished Punch Line, and yet Gonzo managed to make the fights quite dynamic. The fights and the rest now I think about it. Brety gud. |

This one tries to be selfaware but falls flat with very lame jokes. Eh... not really, the comedy in both is fairly shit. Keijo was just great because of how seriously it took itself. It took it to such a ridiculous extreme that you couldn't help but laugh and get hyped simultaneously; therein lay the joke. But tbh, for the first 2/3 of Keijo, it was just the dumbest thing I've ever seen. They are both ridiculous, dumb shows, and they are also both fun in their own way. Akiba's has better animated fight scenes, Keijo has ridiculous boob/butt antics and references like Unlimited Booty Works. |
 |
| Very nice animation and art. Good for a video game adaptation, hopefully it doesn't become boring. |
 |
| I love this alot more than I anticipated, Arisa best girl so far Was that "Girls just want to have fun" that I heard as Arisa's theme lol????? i must be old af if no one else noticed... |

| I'm actually impressed by how enjoyable this was. I was disappointed that it wasn't going to be the cast of the game but I'm enjoying 3 of the 4. (The main girl hasn't left much of an impression yet) The fights were fun and the character designs even for the mooks are great. I don't really get the little shadow creatures, but this is better than I ever expected. |
 |
| This anime is kinda weird, comic and has it flaws, is still amusing and entertaining... tho, the fanservice haters gonna hate an may underrate this (like they never did watch some nude girl in their entire lives, tho the underrating is already happening lmao) as long as the fanservice don't took over the plot and ruin it (like Shinmai Maou no testament) is gonna be a okay show |

Szadek23 said: This could be an good anime if the actions scene weren't this bad. Very often the camera is way too zoomed in to tell what is going on. The transton (or lack there of) from the scene and the beginning to the OP was also pretty bad. The action scenes were the best parts of the episode. What are you smoking? |
 |
| Wtf did I just watch? The action was rather intense unexpectedly and the comedic nerd talk was great. Also, the music in the show is awesome (kinda neutral about the OP and ED). Also, did anyone else here like a spin on "Before My Body is Dry" around the 19:00 mark? Basically when Tamotsu started fighting. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
*visits your profile* Yep you're old |
im like, just old enough to still know of the song, ain' no way 1/2 this site will notice it xD |

You're 100% correct that it is a sample from Before my Body is Dry. It doesn't even sound remixed at all, practically a direct 1:1 of this guitar riff at 19:42 of the show. I felt like this show was trying to channel Kill la Kill before when discussing it with friends, but this just confirms it. My first clue was the Trigger style art/animation and baked in lewd. Nice, Gonzo, nice! |
| |
| whoa that was really good |
 |
| I have no idea why, but this felt like a Punch Line somehow. It might prove to be an enjoyable watch in the end, lmao. |
  |
| Not that bad actually. Really like the goofy style the art has going on, and the concept looks like it'll be amusing enough for the 12-13 episode length, similar to Keijo from last season (decent humor as well). In general, this reminds me a lot of Punchline from Spring 2015, if anyone remembers that. Will be keeping an eye on this. |

I'm all like...okay my KLK vibes are way too strong right now off of this. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| when i first heard about this i was disappointed that Akio Watanabe wasn't going to be doing the character designs let alone it didn't seem like it was even the same characters or story,but i think the crazy cartoony /trigger ish looking style works for the absurdity which is Akiba's trip. while i still haven't gotten around to playing the game i did enjoy the fact of people of both genders just beating each other up so aggressively and reminds me of what i've seen of the game lol. |
 |
| Thought this was kinda odd at first but by the end its pretty decent. |
| Had no idea what was going on but I enjoyed the hell out of it. Definitely going to follow this show, seems like a lot of fun. Also props to the dub. |
| This was very funny, nice start :D |
| I'm liking some of the nods to the game. Anyway that was quite a fun first episode. |
 |
| I haven't played the game but this looks like it will be a lot of fun to watch. Rather interesting method of defeating the opponent. I love how his sister just spouted out all that stuff while she will still unconscious. |

| I'm not big on ecchi, but this actually looks interesting. |
 |
| This is so nonsensical and weird...and for some reason I liked it a lot. Maybe I should see a doctor but I enjoyed this far more than I had expected to...I even want to play the game now. The OP and ED are kinda meh, but I really like the soundtrack through out the episode, especially the one that played with Arisa is around. Arisa's little theme reminds me of Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls "A Kids World". 3/5- Fun start. No idea where this is going other than undressing the villains and fanservice. I had the game for a while now but never even played it. Guess I'll try it out now. |
 |
| Pretty nice i would say, i really hope that there will be more comedy. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Not what I expected, both positively and negatively. |
| This was really funny! I hope it stays this way :D Also, the animation was great and it looks Trigger-ish. (Also, Moi!) XD |
| Strip 'em all! Strip 'em all!! Muehuehuehuehuehue. First episode looks good so far. I might even say that I quite like the show. I'll see if I continue watchin it on the 3rd episode, I guess? |

| Definitely miles better and more entertaining than the cringefest Keijo. |
 |
| The comedy in this is pure cringe. |

| Well, that was fun I guess. |
| A fun start worth sticking around for a couple more episodes. If I'm being honest it's mainly because of Rie Takahashi. |

I guess we're getting old! its a lot easier to just use "CTRL F" instead of reading every single comment, assuming you use windows xD but good to know im not the only one who noticed... i was like "wait... wtf? i recognize this" its so random to remix an American 80's song as a character theme yea man, i feel super old now xD |
|
| I watched the dub for some reason. Why did I even do that? |
 |
| Why does this show look like Pokemon? |

It's all you bud, solid gold find! However it took me a minute to find the matching riff of the song and the exact spot that lines up in Akiba. :) |

| I'm not really one for ecchi but this episode had a good fun energy and kinda just pulled you along for the ride. Might continue it if it keeps up the energy. |
| I didn't play the games and I don't think this anime would be the best of the year but the animation looked interesting and it is. It remind me a lot to soul eater and hero academia with that fast movements. The choreographys are well done and the animation is good at times and regular at times. It doesn't look like a typical ecchi, at least for me but is ecchi at the end. I'm gonna watch this because I need some relax in my life. |

RAEBOtaku said: yhunata said: I watched the dub for some reason. Why did I even do that? Uh... Because you wanted to? You're saying that like it's a bad thing. I enjoyed it. No, I make it a point to always experience something at it's original state unless absolutely impossible (my non-understanding of Japanese being the reason for my usage of subs instead of raw), regardless of the quality of the original. And honestly, several of the voices sounded off, especially the main guy, his sister and the big-titty blonde, i.e. 3 of the 4 main characters. |
|
| So, is this based on the first game? 'Cause I didn't play that one, for obvious reasons... Also, Way of the Samurai anime when? |
