| I had never seen the original series, so I watched this episode and i got a feeling that everything went by very quickly, maybe to try to end some rollover that had in the original version, perhaps to bring to a more modern language. So I went to watch the first episode of 1981 and Thought oh, now it makes sense. This remake only exists because there is the previous one, in the sense of: it is better to watch after having watched the original version because it is really rushed on purpose Including some of the shades of comedy are lost But as adaptation seems to honor well the other and the story as a whole. In 2022 shinobu seems to stress for no reason, while in the old he gives several reasons, including the scene of the "confusion" of marriage in the new gets a little strange the dynamics. In the old is a sub-theme of conservatism of the time of people to get married.There is also a whole issue of society pressing ataru for his "duty" in the new version he just accepts because he wants to be with a cutie. And then the guilt of the actions he committed for his "duty" and the consequences, this is left out, perhaps to alleviate the theme of the series.These points may configure key points of this adaptation that, at least, seems promising to me |
| The only prior knowledge I had before watching the 2022 remake is a short clip of Lum's nipples on youtube, but for me who hasn't watched the original this was a good first episode. Comedy relies on 'quick' events happening one after another it seems, rather than the joke itself. But this is a comedy anime I won't be too critical about it. Animation is great by David Production standard and gorgeous color palettes. Voice acting is top notch since a lot of professionals are in on this project. OP is catchy as hell. It's almost inspirational how Ataru gives his all to marry the dream girl of his life.  |

AshenChivalier said: The cringe i feel, they weren't wrong that this is basically incel the series Wait to see More than a married couple, but not lovers. this season is just weird af basically a couple of kids forced into faking marriage by their school. the boy is never talks to a woman besides his childhood friend (his crush) and the girl is doing everything to be with her real crush which includes "being nice" to the strange boya who don't have any friends that are girls, to get their marriage points. Everything quantified, forced and weird than ever. |
| Ah hearing Araragi scream Shinobu again. I think I might come. |

| god it was so loud and messy and back and forth BUT THE VISUALS !!!! this anime looks STUNNING |
| . |
| David Production knocks it out of the park with the visuals, just curious about how the characters will develop (or if xD) |
| I knew absolutely nothing about this before watching. My first impressions: It's stupid and a waste of my time. It is a great parody of anime from 1980, only with the tech and money of 2022. I had no idea it was actually a remake. Now I can imagine the producers on a big nostalgia trip saying, "Let's remake our favorite anime from 1980!" I'm saving this for a rainy day when I'm bored out of my skull and have nothing else to do. |
| I liked it, somewhere along the way it just clicked and I was enjoying myself. I'll definitely give it more time. |
The World Suffused with Sound.  |
| It could have been worse, but still in the heart, the new Ataru will please the ears. And the joke about the protective cloak from lightning generally feels like subtle banter and references to the old Ataru (who is now Ataru's dad xD). Noragami fans should generally warm their ears, there's a repeat of the Yato/Hiori duet *___* The graphics are hyper bright. And Lum perfectly contorts his muzzles :3 |
| May be some anime? |
| Kinda funny, I'm not sure where this is going in the next 22 episodes.. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
Epiphany3 said: requiett said: Kamiya really went hard on the Choromatsu voice with Ataru. It's all I can hear when he talks lol I thought it was just me, I can't take Choromatsu out of my head each time Ataru opens his mouth. As an ososan fan, I'm delighted and confused. I think it suits him pretty well. They're both 100% irredeemable scumbags with no respect for women. |
| I liked it. I think that it really captures some of the elements of the original, while some has definitely been updated as well. All in all it feels like it will be a lot of fun- dumb fun and I'm looking forward to it. |
| OK OK OK SON RÀPIDOS PARA METER CONTENIDO |
| Hmmm I like Lum's character a bit but theres way too much interference and Shinobu doesn't stand a chance simply because of the writing |

| I was hesitant of watching this one. The original is such an classic and specially the films are absolute high points of 80's anime. But the dynamic between Lum and Ataru (and specially the personality of the latter) might not really be as endearing this time around. But so far so good, the voice actors are ok (Lum's "darling" is on point) and the changes they made to the story were not significant. |

| Ok, this is just about the stupidest premise I've ever seen...it makes me curious to see where tf this is going lol This first episode was pretty boring though. |

Mattinator95 said: The manga had way more nudity than even the OG anime did. The nudity in the manga especially with Lum is *chefs kiss*People going on about how the original anime had nudity, did the manga even have nudity or was it just something the anime did which would explain a lot why they didn’t do it for this new “adaption” of the manga. |

| Goddamn that ED is such a banger. |

gophercg said: I do hope that this version of the anime is on par with the OG version. So far so good imo.Neon colors & nicely animated 70s designs looks great. Unsure if this slapstick fits modern times, at times too silly, but the premise certainly is unusual, and love triangle forming a blackhole lol. Maybe watching with a historical pov, maybe worth it. Keep thinking Araragi & Shinobu... OP & ED both great. ed sounds like Kafu, oh it is nice. eaelucio said: What was your favorite part of the first episode? Personally it has to be Lums introduction since she is 10/10 waifu material Great episode, i liked |

| I'm impressed by the love this show is getting in the forum comments, that doesn't seem to be reflected in the MAL rating though, two different sets of watchers I guess. I found the first episode to be just okay. |

For sure, I agree that it's the show's fans that mainly comment, it just seems that in this case the balance is tilted further towards the fans. |
