| I like the vibe of the series, and it has potential, a solid premier. I am hoping the next batch of episodes do not disappoint and improve from its foundation. 7/10 for the premier |
 |
| Havent heard of this, but the 1st ep was surprisingly good.. lets gooo! |
 |
| Pretty cool start! The world building in this episode was really good and the animation is incredible! It's rare to see an anime that uses CG well but this one definitely did it right! The characters are interesting, with the two MC's personalities conveyed effectively... should be a great one if the plot holds up! |
 |
| The setting of the Deca-Dence reminds me of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, but instead they brought their community with them. Anyway, Natsume aspires to be a soldier, but ends up a cleaner due to his disability (ripped arm). Kaburagi's her boss, but looks like he's a former soldier himself. Wondering how he got the cleaner job. Also, there's a mysterious person giving him advice on eradicating bugs. It still needs more information, but I'll get the hang of it. Looking forward to the next episode. One other thing, is this anime giving out steampunk vibes or nah? |

| Very good first episode, the world building seems incredible, the deca-dence (fortress) is so well-done, I want to see more of that fortress. |
 |
| Really enjoyable first episode. Let's see just how it stands against the others this season, although I hope it will do well. |
 my life was made with mematic. |
| Not gonna lie, The plot definitely is similar to Darling in the Franxx. Or what it seem to me after watching the first episode. Natsume's father was killed by these creatures called Gadol. An interesting plot and interesting characters in this show. Natsume surely seems like a lively and happy girl. Good episode. |
 |
| So it's Mortal Engines, but anime. That might sound like an indictment but I was kinda surprised at how much I enjoyed this. It also reminds me a lot of that Darling in the Franxx thing I never saw, which I hope is a good thing, you know, just to balance it out. The characters all seem fun and brightly coloured without looking out of place. The main character is cool and interesting too. When I saw that she had a prosthetic arm I was sure they were gonna pull the "angry sullen MC with a traumatic past" trope, but thankfully they stomped that down in the first few seconds. Everything just seems... professional. One criticism I do have though is the backstory. It feels incredibly lazy to go with the "x number of years ago, a mysterious, terrible thing happened and that's why humanity's dying and fighting in mechs now or whatever." So many cheap-shit, pointless anime pull this and I'm just sick of seeing it. It's the "Somehow Palpatine returned" of anime worldbuilding. |
| Really loved the first episode. Was a load of fun, and a lovely cast of interesting characters. Cannot wait for next week. |
| All the "It's a rip off of Attack On Titan!" people should watch more anime or something... It's not like Kabaneri too, because the trains there were highly dependent on the rail system and the stations. The moving town here is self-dependent like such towns in Regios and Overman King Gainer...still not rip off of them. The monsters are a bit like those from Nausicaä and the jetpacks like those flying things from Youjo Senki. That one dude who mentioned Macross is right tho. And yes, it's a bit like Darling in the FranXX but not plotwise. |

| I agree it is very interesting and has many crossovers of its style. I know some things are older but I enjoy this Mortal Engines, Attack on Titan, Darling in the Franxx style somewhat Arifureta in areas of animation anime with a strong borderlands feel to the gears. |

| This seems like it has potential. The production seems pretty good so far even if there is a lot of cg. This is the best anime of the season so far, which isn't saying much but whatever. |
| "Otaku search for patterns within data presented and draw conclusions. Anime fans only see clones and copies." -artificialnightsky |
| not gonna compare this to other shows like everyone else, i just hope nothing bad happens to Pipe as the show rolls along |
| Not too bad, this looks like it should be fun to keep up with. I'll hope for my enjoyment to stay consistent as more episodes come out. |
| 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. |
| Very generic start. The premise repurposes classic sci-fi/steampunk movies and anime. The plucky protagonist is a standard archetype that just wants to get in the action. It is unoriginal yet functional. The CGI is not as bad as people are saying. I thought the art looked pretty good, although the palette is bland. I think it has the potential to become worthwhile, but right now it's nothing special. |
 |
| It looked good until he killed someone? :/ Wonder whats up with that. Guess armor defense is defense on the insides and the outside. Galdols are also humans or what? Interesting costume designs. Wonder why the green guy pulled the other guy down lolll. Plot device? The boss was super cool with his fighting, lol at her being dragged around |

| The first episode was alright. It had AOT vibes. I'm excited to see what happens with the "bugs" and find out why Kabarugi is such a good fighter. |
| i thought it was alright the visual cover had peaked my interest a while ago. seems like this show could just be world building on just the fortress alone so many questions on how it works they seem to be channeling a ton of mad max vibes from those gear? fighters which i'm assuming are just aliens coming down to hunt and profit for whatever reason and the male MC is working for them behind the scene?. i really hope this doesn't end up shitting the bed animation on the Vaporization cannon thingy was neat |
 |
| Thought this was pretty damn good. I like Natsume a lot. |
| Wasn't expecting to enjoy this,but,I kinda liked it.The art style wasn't too bad,the cgi wasn't great,but decent enough,the music was good,liked the fact the fortress had a physical main weapon,and not just some particle beam type thing. All in all,not too bad,so i'll watch a few more and see where it goes. Did give me a bit of a Chrome-Shelled Regios vibe. |
 |
| I love the MC, and the animation is really fun and expressive. Soundtrack slaps too. This is definitely my favorite of the season so far! |

| The Deca-Dence's ultimate weapon being an "iron fist" instead of a cannon/beam was... kinda underwhelming, not gonna lie. Anyways, decent start I guess. Nothing really new in terms of concepts but let's hope it can trace its own path somehow. As for the story, I don't know if it will get deeper later on but it seems the overall atmosphere won't get too dark considering how goofy most of the interactions between characters are. This said, not my most anticipated show of the season but let's see what it can offer. P.S.: Pipe's design made me think of Mitty from Made in Abyss and I almost started crying... hope nothing bad happens to him. |
| Seems like a less edgy version of aot especially with the cgi lmao. decent start tho |
 |
| Looking good, finally a good show apart from GoH. |
| AoT, Kabaneri, Gargantia, Gurren Lagann, Sidonia... And now Deca-dence. Starting with an impulsive orphan girl, and Kaburagi, a dude around his 30's who is more than a cleaning guy. The art department did a good job, I hope this series has something good going on. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Interesting start, I am hooked! I do have to get this out of the way first.. The CGI, it could be just me, but I personally think that it's one of the best CGI I have seen in a while! I really like the setting, eventho it has a simular feel to it from shows I have already seen (SnK, Darling in the Franxx, a Peter Jackson movie and even a specific episode of Kino no Tabi) This has quite the potential, now is the question if this will be a 1 or 2 cour series! Action and animation was damn great in the second half, soundtrack was great and I love the characters so far! Now let's hope Natsume won't get annoying! |
 |
| Pretty decent starting episode. Setting feels sorta familiar but I guess it's good in it's own way. I'll stick around and hope it can capture my attention throughout it's run. |

Kurosawa-san said: This gave me strong Arte vibe, the dynamics between the two characters I mean Especially considering that Kaburagi is also voiced by Konishi Katsuyuki >.> I TOTALLY FEEL YOU!!! |
| Just another seasonal anime fan |
| That kind of protagonist can suck out enjoyment for any show and there wasn't even that much to spare in this episode. To be honest, it felt much like a Trigger show and I definitely don't mean that as a compliment. I'm not sure I'll even bother checking out second episode. It seems like it will really be a checklist kind of series and also a complete waste of time. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| The world seems interesting but what about the technology? If they can create something like THAT why not use gun or other fire power like bomb? Well its still the first eps so maybe -hopefully- there is explantion for that later. Got a really strong AOT vibe from this anime |
| Overall pretty good although the action direction was kind of wonky. Interested to see where this goes. |
