Yaya is cute as hell, I want her home.
And looks like we got a bit of a tsundere here, hmm...
It certainly looks good, just hope the fights will also get more interesting and longer.

Oh and, does Yaya stopping the train remind anyone else of Sebastian?

Their eyelashes are really bothering me and the cg as well... Yaya and Raishin's interaction were very cute, already OTP

The plot is really good though, makes me want to keep watching it. If only I can get used to the art, it is amazing otherwise. 9/10, promising!

Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

I don't mind the Oreshura like animation.Don't know why everyone's going off on it. At first I thought I wasn't going to like this anime due the setting and shit, but it got interesting quick. 8.5/10 for this ep.

"Yaya is cute."

Oh, boy. So it begins. One of my few sure picks for this season, because I've been enjoying the manga version of the novels for quite some time now. Can't believe I'm finally seeing these characters in motion and voiced, but I do have my reservations, too. For one, I'm not entirely comfortable with the rather liberal usage of CGI here, because it stands out in a negative way and gives me doubts about the budget levels for this adaptation. The art itself, coming from the novels is fine though.

On the bright side, I think I can easily get used to Yaya and Raishin's voices. Charlotte's voice is not bad either, and Sigmund is voiced by the awesome Jouji Nakata. Story-wise, it's pretty much as I remember it from the manga version, but not having read the source novels I can't say for sure.

With that out of the way, let the Cannibal Candy arc begin. More of Yaya and Char too, of course.

I've skimmed through the episode, but wtf happened to the original character design? The one from the manga.. WTF This character design sucked so much. They looked like a joke, and it feels more comedy-like. Damn I want the serious tone back! Damnnnnnnn itttttttt.

Really don't like the art. Why didn't they use the same art as the manga?? ): But oh well, I got used to it anyway, and I really doubt that I'll ever like this art for this show.

Everything else is cool. I like Raishin's fight, he's cool! I love Yaya's jealousy hehe, it's even cuter in the anime. I don't like the sensei's bouncing boob fanservice, it's distasteful. Looking forward for more cool battle.

Actually it's really bad. It's not a matter of preference. If you read the manga, and you know what tone this story brings, you'll see that this type of artstyle is really out of place. Manga's art suit this story better.

The art is terrible, from my perspective as a manga reader. The eyes suck, it doesn't really go well with the character, seems too childish to me. Furthermore, the use of CGI is not really well done, makes the characters seem stiff at some point. Despite the plot progress, everything else is not what I expected, especially the fight, just plain terrible, bad animation!

I decided to check this against my better judgement and wow, it's God awful. If it wasn't for SAO, I wouldn't believe you can screw up character design so badly. Looks like I was right from the beginning that it will be a complete failure of an adaptation. Well, back to reading the original with good character design and good atmosphere.

I hope there are more people than me that find ~romantic relationships~ in anime where one character is ridiculously obsessed with the other, and constantly harasses them even though the other person isn't interested at all and constantly says 'no', to be disturbing and unpleasant as opposed to 'cute' or 'funny' or 'sexy'.
Because if somebody kept bugging you in real life like that, and you had no interest in them at all, surely that would be incredibly uncomfortable and irritating???

These kinds of unhealthy relationships, when played for comedy, always make me feel a bit creeped out........

I'm now watching three shows this season with a blonde chick named Charlotte (IS 2, Machine Doll, and Freezing Vibration). By the way, Sigmund used one of the many variations of Godzilla's roar.

well the first part didn't exactly grab me, the train scene was like a little meh..... yaya is a cute character her flirting was amusing and had me smiling, just hope it doesn't become tiresome.... the battle on the field however was more interesting with some cool looking machines..... and of course ending with another fight about to begin (which i must admit, doesn't look good for our MC haha) will keep watching for sure!

This probably won't be seen but did anyone else notice the scene where they had a long shot of a wall with geese flying over it?

Shout out to the titans maybe?

The first and last episode of titans had that same scene.

A good start and I like the voice actors/actresses.
I will get used to that character designs, the CG didn't bother me though.
The characters are alright and the show looks cool.

Oh god.. If only I hadn't based my prejudice purely on its MAL score, I would've started watching this already at October. Back then I thought everything under the rating 8.00 would be crap, but now I know better. The voice acting was fine though I wasn't too fond of Raishin's design. Fantasy and Seinen, my two favorite genres are included so that's a big plus. The plot seems somewhat cliche, but I am a little interested what led him to this path if it's not something stupid.

From the small flashback i get the feeling there was a real girl Yaya that was killed by that guy?

That was quite an attention grabbing intro. I'm not really sure how I feel about the CGI yet, it feels a bit video game-ish. Yaya is hilarious, she reminds me of Enju from Black Bullet.
