THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Been reading the manga while ago and following it an irregular pace. The OP song fits and well, the characters are a bit gimmicky. Still, I got fun from watching this especially with the Reborn designs.

Granted the animation quality felt kinda average. Misuzu is cute as hell though.
The lewd sensei made me face palm a bit.

From all the introductions and premise, I think first episode was fine. Not too impressive but not too shabby either. Of course, they introduced the sci-fi elements into the story too.

Not super impressed with it, but I can see some potential. Guess I'll be following this series as well.

It was decent I guess, nothing too special. Pretty classic start with the MC discovering his powers and defeating an enemy.

I do however like the VA cast, Rie Kugimiya as that Monitalien is really nice. The conversation between the MC and the Monitalien are pretty amusing to watch. Hayami Saori as Misuzu is great too, If nothing I'll watch it just for them. XD

There was also a little world or rather universe building I guess, Mother computers? Is that just a race name or is the universe actually prophesized through machines? :o

I suppose I'll see where this goes. It has potential to be good I guess.

l like how the racist McDonald's moonman mascot was a character in the show. And how the dude had some weird cat for a dick in the middle of his stomach voiced by Rie Kugimiya

I fuckin' called Saotome being an alien waaay before the reveal! Her big, beautiful tits were waaay too suspicious. XD

Anyway decent first episode. Chuta's alright, Misuzu's a huge bitch but will eventually come around on him, and Drew is incredibly annoying. A very standard episode for this type of show, but so far I can dig it. XD

Oh, and crescent moon man creepy as fuck! Belongs in Bo-bo-bo. XD

Enjoying the voice cast because Murase and I can't stop hearing Kagura, but this is honestly has a level of weirdness that I was not expecting.

Aside from the last few minutes, there was like... zero tension. ._. Don't know about this one guys. It feels like it's going to be a scatterbrain.

That moon man and also Boobs sensei-was too obvious for an Amano manga.


Edit: I just noticed that it's been updated to 12 eps. I don't really have hope that this will improve much in only 11 more episodes.

Italian mafia.
Though I can't remember if KHR characters were initially so accepting of things like "oh shit random teleporting to places/to space". This dude was too calm about the whole thing, which is why I said about zero tension.

YES That KHR refrence was just the best! Man i miss KHR SO MUCH!

Pretty decent episode! There are a few characters that seem intresting so far to me, and thank god that the "familiar" wasn't annoying as alot of "familiars" tend to be these days

So aside from the awesome music I can always recognize as Yasuharu Takanashi, this wasn't really a spectacular start to a new series. If anything it came across as yet another subpar generic shounen series for me. I'm gonna 3-episode rule it and see if anything changes for me.
Don't believe the hype.

Well, it was nothing special and even more childish than I expected... It's kind of a letdown, but I think I'll still watch from time to time only to hear Ayumu Murase's voice acting.

The Reborn reference made smile, though.

(Oh, and that alien-thing inside him has got nothing on Migi!!)

Pretty good first episode. Not amazing but not bad either. Animation is about what I expected from Pierrot.

Main character is alright. I'm interested in watching more.

seems fun, reminds me a bit of Megaman Starforce Series xD, I'll hope for now that Pierrot doesn't fuck up with this one, i can see some potential on it, the MC is a bit edgy, but i think i can deal with it

I enjoyed it. I feel like it has more potential than the shows in the fall season. I didn't like Misuzu's personality and I really liked the "voice" in the main character (he/she is cute lol). Also, I enjoyed the OP. I'm excited to see how it continues.

Eh, what a meh episode. It was so predictably plain that it hurt, they dumped the setting, bad guy and everything. I don't dislike predictable shows but this one start is really mediocre, just seems like it's riding on Hitman Reborn name to pull people in...
There's no similarities with Reborn if not the male and female MC having the same set of eyes as Tsuna(wich is unsettling), oh and the white alien is literally a Reborn knockoff.

Damn.... this was pretty awful, a lot more than I was expecting.

Throw in many poorly implemented shounen trope at the start.

Drew or whatever its called is so fucking horrendous, I'm disappointed in author's choice of design for it. Like really fucking horrendous, I may just drop the show because of it.

Lolwut at the "Some random guy spoke to me friendly for the first time in a while about going asking if I wanted to go out to bang our karaoke with our hot teacher, so I should go save him." It honestly seemed more like a cry of desperation than a cry of a friend's help.

Well at least the heroine is cute and voiced by Saori Hayami. The Katekyo Hitman Reborn reference was a nice. I'll most likely drop this but will give it a couple more episodes in hopes something changes.

Does this series get better? Because even though it wasn't a bad ep, it was only okay at best imo

After years of watching anime I've become more comfortable with dropping crap instead of suffering through mediocrity for sake of "my list". With that said, every minute of this was a complete chore to watch with nothing redeemable. Dropped.

Better than expected, it is pretty entertaining, seems like no hur hur edgy or drama bullshit, will be enjoyable show to follow. Some may think this is childish but if you can watch fantasy action and thought that is cool, why not this? 4/5 I think

Personally, I found this decent. I enjoyed the art style (Reminds me of a speed racer kind of animation) and I enjoyed the light-heartedness of the series, but the VA for the griffith got on my nerves really quickly.

An okay first episode. I kind of like it. I don't like Misuzu that much. I figured Saotome was going to be an alien. She was cringy to look at. The side characters look cool though. The OP sounds nice and the animation looks decent.

Lol, is this anime from the past? The style makes it feel like it came from the early 2000's... The character designs are weird too, even for aliens. What a gimmick show.

I thought it will be Pierrot's next long running typical daytime anime with anime original fillers. Turns out it airs at 10PM and only 12 episodes. Nothing really interesting so far since I read first few chapters long time ago.

Maybe because Reborn's mangaka, but animation quality is fine.
