| WHAT AN OPENING EPISODE! Premise, art, animation, sound, fitting music, direction, set pieces. Hell even hawt women with muscular bodies. This had it all. Early candidate for AOTS. I'm absolutely baffled at people calling this generic. Where is the overpowered student council, imouto loli or chuuni characters here? |

| The story was interesting, and the backstory was sensible. This was a nice episode. I hope it only gets better. The uniforms looked slightly weird, especially the one belonging to the woman they called 'sister'. The flames looked so cool!! The animators did a great job. Shinra's smile at the end was adorable. I hope the ending isn't the real ending. I feel like fan service should only be a part of comedy anime. |
Is this boku no hero academia? Amazing sakuga. Ok story. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Very impressive first episode, wonder how the quality keeps up considering this is 2 cour Music was good too |
qwyxivi said: The pacing felt a bit oddly ... slow? But I guess that just happens sometimes for adaptations. I'm not seeing this at all. I saw an explanation of what they're fighting, character introductions, MCs back-story and two battles. |
| Either Shinra made a poor choice of joining or he's haunted by his past. |
| Kind of meh. It's supposed to be a battle shounen, but the whole battle is off. It looks good, true, but the whole fight made no sense. What's the point of a battle plan if you are no gonna just stop with it anyways? A fight that was supposed to be intense with teamwork and stuff just turned into the team using half a move each to stop and stare at MC charging up his oneshot attack. Why? Then they went way overboard with flashbacks. We don't need to see okaa-san 1000x times to get it that MC regrets whatever happened then. The first 3 times was already more than enough. Other than these there is nothing to praise or bash with this series. OP is good I guess. But when the core mechanic of a show is already bad in ep 1, I don't have too much hope. If combat is more fleshed out later on it can be a decent enough show, but that's not the case so far. |
| Nicely executed first episode, we were itroduced to colorful cast of charracters and saw a little about the past of the protagonist. I also need to point out tha the opening is catchy and the animation is well done. |
| Not a bad start. But I'm pretty triggered by how they're translating "Eien no Hono" as "Flame of the Fire" instead of the more accurate "Eternal Flame". Eternal Flame is a more religious thing, so it fits the context better, but also "Flame of the Fire" is just redundant. It's a bad localization |
 |
| "I'm gonna be a hero and save everyone!!!" Eeeeeehhh can you get more generic? That was actually a really nice first episode, the animation and the visuals were great and the fire looks amazing. I'm not sold on the story though and I haven't read the manga but it felt a little bit rushed. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| Holy shit, that was amazing! The premise is great, the art is great, the animation is great, the sound and the music are great, the characters are great, I loved everything, I even got a little teary eyed with the backstory. Definitely my favorite show so far. |
| Shit. The animation is absolutely INSANE |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| I would be lying if I would say that the visuals of this show did not carry this first episode. Characters seem cool but a little generic at first glance, same with the backstory of Shinra. But it seems cool so far, liked it more than dr stone |
| ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. i can already tell this is my summer season favourite,i also instantly fell in love with the ed...will be jamming to it until i cant take no more. i like the ost they are using and sound effect (kinda reminds me of ajin one or typical action movies sound effects which once again,awesome) mc's design is pretty appealing to me and also.... Makis biceps.....i love that they gave her a bigger build/muscles,i highly approve of this new religion. |

| The visuals were top notch, wow. I enjoyed this first episode, yeah people are saying it's generic and while they aren't totally wrong, that doesn't mean it can't still be enjoyable. This show definitely looks like it'll be an entertaining one. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Promising start. Loved the OP and the visuals so far. Hope they keep up the good work. |
 |
| it looks like ao no exorcist mc looks alike they are both excluded from society and wanna be heroes and they have both flaming powers lol idk imma continue anyways |

| According to rumors David production would have an episode budget equal to or greater than Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood that has around 300K $ Before they block me for life I tell them that I know the manga, was really a shounen story under the standard without anything special, without notable characters (except 1 or 2), the fire powers of MC that are like those of natsu and many other protagonists, , there are scenes of fanservice as absurd as if it were to love ru. If the mere fact of having a good production and an excellent animation makes any storie of manga/novel stand out, it makes me think that what matters most now is the technical, an isekai like maou-sama retry could have had this level production and it would be This the anime that everyone praises and love. |
| Nothing to write home about. The animation was decent in most places better in others. There are quite a few questions left unanswered done in such a way that they seem like they will be addressed later on. The main characters backstory feels pretty contrived and not all that original in its basic framework. I think overall the shows premise is too out there for me but I wanted to at least give it a shot. Miles better than Dr. Stone's first episode. |
| Well, at least the animation is really nice. As a concept this thing is fucking stupid. And, the characters are abrasive. I was already sick of the main character's smiling by the end of the episode. Kudos to David Pro for the nice animation, but I can't waste time on what is essentially a generic shounen. He wants to be a hero... Woop de doo. Really breaking new ground there. |
| Látom??? Why the hell are they speaking hungarian? |
| Good episode. Amazing art and animation. Liked the cast, the OP is catchy and the ED is nice visual. Overall good start too like Dr Stone. |
 |
| Remember people, generic ≠ bad. |
 |
| I had no doubts when I saw the episode and it blew me away. Animation was amazing and I loved the op and ed. Too bad they had to crop things out from the manga but it was still good. I really liked looking at the scene where Shinra picked up Sister Iris, very breathtaking. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| The previews looked god damn amazing, so the first episode had a lot to live up to, and it did just that! Pretty much everything was extremely well animated, which is honestly surprising for a David Production show as they aren't usually the best at animated fights, however this has the most consistent animation since Mob Psycho 100 season 2. The characters are all interesting with great designs, and the story is very unique. If Vinland Saga flops, THIS will be the anime of the season no doubt. |
YorukaWaifu said: TsukuyomiREKT said: Remember people, generic ≠ bad. Yeah, we know that being generic is bad only when the anime is a LN adaptation or a CGDCT. When it's a battle shounen, being generic is positive. Not saying it's a positive thing either. |
|
| Holy shit, this discussion threads are always the same. Do People really think that the word "generic" is a fair criticism? Lol you sure don't read books. Everything can be called generic because it's fucking 2019 and EVERYTHING'S BEEN DONE YET. And it's just the first episode. You think you are intelligent and "critic" when repeating the same stupid adjective for every first anime episode. But you are not, you just look like wannabe critics. "It doesn't anything new" and how is it bad? Remember that Agatha Christie didn't add anything new to the premise of her genre, and still she is the best writer of detective stories. But you would just call her "generic" LOL The episode was fine and the animation Amazing. |
 |
| Animation looks pretty,characters are nice Waiting for next ep |
YorukaWaifu said: elementex said: This is the truth of the current anime landscape, people flock to high budget productions. It can make a mediocre story like demonslayer into a huge hit among the masses Totally agreed. If this had an average budget I doubt that it would even reach a 7.5. I read the manga and it's as mediocre as Black Clover or even worse. This only applies to battle shounen though. We have Symphogear or Granbelm this season that have a high budget but they are never going to get a high score. The hypocrisy of MAL... in Fact Fire brigade 8.29 vs Granbelm 6.60 being that Granbelm has not done anything particularly bad. |
