| I'm glad I am not the only one that when he make those weird face he looks like alphonse, anyways I'm going to have to drop this series, the comedy ruin the mood imo and thus I can't take it serious, it has a nice atmosphere that I like but the comedy aspect is just a turn off, in fmab it is ok, but for this it is not at all. Also really like the art style. but overall Wasted potential imo. |
| The first episode is not bad but god dam son the whole gun face is weird and crazy |
 |
| That was freaking great. Initially I was like this is too fucking weird. I didn't think it would win me over, but by the end of the episode I wanted to see more. |
| I can't really see how this is disappointing to a new viewer or manga fan. It's pretty far from being a cookie-cutter crime drama. Two things make up a great show: world building and characters; integrated into one. These two elements have combined splendidly so far and quite quick might I add. No Guns Life so far is a post war-punk-noir and I really hope it stays this way. |
| Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Lie until you aren't lying anymore! Figures  |
| Interesting concept. I'm impressed by the visuals and the characterisation of Inui already with his hatred of being seen as a tool. Keen for the next episode. |

| Thank god the CG ain’t trash and I love that madhouse can still show his feelings even though he’s a frickin gun! |
 |
| Decent start, i've been worried about Madhouse for a few years now, they've been very inconsistent in their choice of adaptation, for every Sora yori tooi basho, they've made a Shoumetsu Toshi, hopefully this is in the previous group. |

| I heard the manga was good, but I didn't like this episode. The episode just didn't show much and didn't seem interesting. I'm still gonna watch at least 2 or 3 more episodes and see if it gets better for me. |
 |
| needs more cyberpunk introduction plot wasn't that strong but episode was decent enough hopefully the world building and plot whatever it may be ends up being interesting Inui seems like a cool but lame dude lol not much of a ladies man |
 |
| Am I the only one who thought t'was rushed as fuck for a First episode? Also doesnt make any sense for such a strong guy not fighting back that weird priestess and letting her get the boy for free, but oh well lets see the next episodes |

| Thought everything was nicely done except for some of the visuals. The CGI Bothered me quite a bit, but overall the animation and visuals looked pretty solid. I was hyped when I saw the voice actor for Juuzou was the same voice actor who played Abbachio in JoJo. I think this will be one of the hidden gems of the season.

I only read the first 3 chapters of the manga before watching the first episode, but i thought it was a pretty decent adaptation. There were quite a few moments that looked exactly as they did in panels of the manga. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| I like how the Gunhead guy and the Oni-faced person scared of each other's faces. Gunhead: Whoa! What the hell is that! I gotta dry myself out! Im gonna rust! Im gonna rust! Im gonna rust! *spins the cylinder* Oni-face: Aaahhh! Y-Your head is spinning...  Gunhead and Oni-face (as they stare at each other): Aaaaahhhh! Lol what an reaction! I like the little gag here. |

| Super interesting, love the dark setting and designs so far. Madhouse delivers, excited to see how it will play out! |
| Nice first episode! I like the idea of using Unreal Engine for the CGI backgrounds. While oil-painted backgrounds from retro anime will always be superior to me, I think I prefer these rendered backgrounds to modern digitally painted ones, there's a certain level of detail that is lost with digitally painted backgrounds and I feel like CG rendered ones tend to bring some of that detail back. Also, if this mixed media approach can allow animators to focus on making better looking character animation, like in this first episode, then I'm all on-board with this idea. It's a thousand times better than using CGI for any kind of character animation, that's for sure. It also helps that the character design is so damn good in this show. Aside from the gun-head and the mechanical designs for the cybernetic characters, even the humans have a unique and interesting look to them that feels fresh and new. As for the show itself, I absolutely love how this is bringing back that old-school cyberpunk setting. I really hope this starts a trend of more cyberpunk series being made. The main character is cool, and I like the whole setup for his backstory. However, those silly reactions feel a little out of place with the rest of the tone the series has... I also feel like the dialogue was a little weak in spots, but I did enjoy the story beats thus far. 4/5 episode for me. Definitely way more interesting than anything else appears to be this season. Excited for the next episode! |

| madhouse being madlads. dat train punch tho. the first 20-ish minutes was a boring worldbuild. I get it, they have to establish the steampunk setting somehow. |

| What was that Unreal Engine logo in the Ending? They're funding the anime, the CGI was made using the Engine or something like that? I'm curious now. |
 |
| If these people are trying to beat Akame Ga Kill in worst timed and executed Comedy, they win!. the Squee! expressions ruined the Episode. |
| It was meh compared to Beastars but it will get better I guess and it's a 2 cour so it has immense potential |
| You will soon learn that a heart that choose to exist, even in a life filled with pain, will one day allow us to meet again. With the world's blessings, we will meet again and again, forever returning to the homeworld we've yet to see. Many, many times.  |
| What a great premise for what's going to be a very good anime this season. I really like the world that's been created, it's aesthetic and story. Then there's Juuzou, a resolver with a gun for a head. Along with the op, there's a lot that I like. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this will turn out. |
| Really good pilot, series reminds me of old classics like Battle Angel Alita or a little more modern Dorohedoro, must watch of this season for me. |
Romo3 said: I haven't read the manga but what a strong start to this series. I'd definitely binge watch it today if all the episodes were out. Was quite the opener. Looking forward to seeing where this one goes |
| That evil nun imposter would've been a really good villain in Ghost in the Shell imo, with the whole objects can't have sentience and stuff. I heard the manga was a bit weird, haven't read it myself but overall I enjoyed the episode. I'd compare it to Black Lagoon or Cop Craft, but I don't want to jinx anything so nah. Also, judging from the ed there are still a ton of characters we need to meet, which I'm looking forward to (Winry-esque mechanic?). Speaking of FMA/B too, the art for the comedic shots totally reminded me of the ones with Al in those shows. I don't really expect Madhouse to drop the ball on this in terms of art and animation, but I just hope it doesn't lose steam because of the writing. 4/5 |
 |
| A noir show with a main character that has a gun for a head. YES PLEASE! |
 |
| Well, I liked the cyberpunk atmosphere, mixed with noir, despite the first episode didn’t show its potential in technology, surely, it stablished the basis. I didn’t get the scene where Juuzou got shot and fell, it looked so slow, like he was waiting for it. Then, somehow, related to the red light dispositive (I think), Juuzou knew where Tetsurou was, and what an impact. Good opening. |
 |
| The steampunk dystopian setting is interesting. Honestly it reminds me a lot of Cyberpunk 2077 with all its replaced body parts and technology integrated into your body. Juuzo is pretty interesting. I initially took him for the veteran badass that, you know, doesn't smile, is jaded, etc. But I find it funny that he gets flustered so easily with girls, like when that bartender kissed his cheek and when the nun stripped. |
 |
| I almost fell asleep during the entire episode even in action scenes. Torture is coming. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Art is gorgeous. I love the design of the characters and it even has non-moe girls who still look really good in a different kind of way. The nun looks amazing when the design doesn't exaggerate her breasts. Basically every shot of her after the "wow big tits" shot she looked not only more sexy but badass too. I think making Tetsuro a boy was a weird decision. The trope of the suffering little girl is so common becuase it's damn effective. I feel if this was made 10 or more years ago there's no way that character would have been a boy. Anime of old would never have missed the opportunity for a poor suffering loli. Usually don't complain about traditional anime tropes but the blushed face on MC with the art style shift... his whole reaction and how those moments integrated in to the story... yeah, but actually no. Just didn't work in this. Plot setup is great. It feels like it should be a lot slower than it has been. From reading other comments it seems the manga is very slow, and it would be a shame if the anime felt the need to pick up the pace to attract more kids with ADD, but that's just how it is sometimes. |
| “In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.” -Friedrich Nietzsche Aggregate scoring is bad for the anime fandom |
| I had my doubts at the very start of the episode but now I am intrigued. I like the fresh concept of the gun head and extensions. It sort of stretches my mind a bit over the usual anime with Big Eyes and familiar human forms. Strapped in for the entire ride. |
 |
| Wow, I love Madhouse. |
 |
| Jumping right in at the first episode. Main protagonist seems like a badass. I like it. |
| Pretty cool world and concept, especially having a main character with a Gun as a head. Juuzo and Tetsuro could've escaped if Juuzo knew about the big guy being controlled by Tetsuro but I guess there wasn't really much time for Tetsuro to explain his situation. |
 |
| I kinda like the premise but I doubt it's going fall short |
| Solid first episode, hope it gets better along the way though. |
