| Exciting first episode It's like Japanese version of X-Men But, one thing that got me confuse Were they born with esper ability or they have the esper ability because of their kick-ass technology? |
| "Burn the heretics" |
| As someone who hasn't watched or read Ga Rei Zero, I had no idea what was going on with so many characters introduced. I hope it gets more focused in the next episode or I might be scratching my head every episode. |

| Wtf. I was really surprised when Yomi and Kagura just suddenly appeared in the first minutes. I was wondering why the hell was Ga-rei's characters were there, turns out the author of both series is the same. Decent episode I guess. |
| I don't think I'll be continuing this, but I'll give it until episode 3 until I drop it. |
| Good first episode overall, these characters have some pretty badass powers. And wtf. Yomi and Kagura, that was unexpected. I didn't really notice the Ga-Rei relation when I decided to watch this. What a nice surprise. |

There isn't any of these equipaments in the manga. It's just unnecessary invention of the anime |
| Not bad, I'm excited to see what's next! |
| KAGURA! YOMI! NATSUKI AND THAT GUN DUDE!!! Too bad they're just cameo... |

First ep. showed a bit too much what will happen in this series. |
| Good 1st episode, better than I expected. I don't really like it when shows/movies start from the end or the middle then go back to the start but if the story's good, I will keep watching. I was pleasantly surprised to see Ga-Rei: Zero characters, I thought the 2 shows were connected till I saw the threads about it. |

Stories and their purpose are not important at all. |

| Nice. Intense. Espers!!! The white girl. Hmm.. I like it so far :) |
 |
| Nother cliche anime with a storyline for little kids (we gonna take over the world blablabla.. yeah little buddy, better finsih drinking your milk and go to bed) But this time we got some of the same characters from another show which was not that bad (Ga-rei Zero). Does that make it better?.. Hell no, it makes it even worse. I couldnt stand 5 min of this bullshit. Anime industry you trolled me again |
| Didn't enjoy the first episode all that much due to being lost. I'll just see how it goes. |
| OK! Espers.....whoa....they are evil! EVIL! XD So yeah, it looks like this is going to be about....mankind and it's fight between Espers.....yeah. owo And, there are good ones and bad ones. :3 The bad ones looks cool, I mean, like there Esper powers look cool, but then there are those good ones that are pretty cool too, even though there wasn't enough screen time for the good Espers. :P It looks interesting...I mean, the anime itself. :3 With only 12 episodes.....I wonder how it will go? o-o |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
superpatch24 said: Ok, where is the flying penguini? ;_; Ikr?! That's why I picked this anime up |
| Just finished the first episode and it was really not what I was expecting... I mean, all I had seen before watching it was the description that MAL and AniChart has and that fun picture with 'the white girl' stretching in a park with random shit happening around her. I really didn't expect something so... Basic? I mean, this was just so basic. So basic... I'll give it another episode to see if it actually gets good. |
| Had I not read all of Rinka's saga before watching this first episode, I would have dropped it. Hate openings that jump right into the thick of it where no-name characters do random things and nothing is explained. I really hope this adaptation does the source material justice. |

| What the hell was that, lol? So different from the source material ... oh well. We'll see how the next episode goes. |

| Pretty good episode of Ga-Rei Zero! |
| I was actually expecting to get trolled, in the same way Ga-Rei Zero trolled in its 1st episode. |
| Strong start to the series, I loved the fact that they introduce the good espers close to the end and gave us a good look on what the enemy is capable of in the beginning :D |
 |
| This better be a tearjerker |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this |
| Pretty good episode. I knew it seemed as if this occurred later on in the series, but even so I still liked it. Nice action. It was pretty cool to witness all the super powers and such. Definitely looking forward to what will happen next. |
 |
| Merry-fucking-CHRISMAS!! ... Well, that episode was confusing to say the least x) I had difficulties to understand what was going on and why were the military so unorganized. Well, I still didn't figure that out though. That whole episode was a fucking tease. Seriously, ''the white girl is sooo powerful'' / ''white girl saved us all, she's so cool!'' / ''white girl can't stay still, she'll come!'' Ends up appearing 5 second at the end... What was she doing while all the people in the parliament were getting brutally killed? She doesn't seem that active to me. We'll see. Found it a bit deceiving to be honest. I was ready for some action, but from the synopsis, I though it would be more crazy/absurd action, something like Gurren Lagann, but with superpower x) |

| the hero girl gets a nice appearance and the Ga-Rei Zero crossover... |
| does anyone know the anme of the song around the 9:45 min mark and beyond with the motorcycle scene? I know its from Faylan but whats the title? |
| Kinda bad so far. Like a worse version of X Man |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| Better than expected. |
 |
| This was an awesome first episode. I hope the rest of the anime is this good. The artwork an animation are also top-tier. |
| Can someone tell me if i should watch Ga Rei zero to understand Tokyo ESP or it doesn't have any connection? |

| can I just skip this ep and go on to 2? lol |

| I read a little bit of the manga but this episode just left me confused. Also, I wasn't a fan of the Ga-Rei character inserts. |
| That was a really great first episode :) |
| I wasn't really hyped for this one, and was left with the impression it's not something as good as Ga Rei. I was stonefaced all the time. Don't know how the second episode is, but the first one for sure didn't grab any of my attention aside from Yomi's appearance. |

| I'm getting an X-men vibe. |

kikohunter said: moonnya said: I wonder why this anime has only 7.5 score when other similar show in this season has 8+. Perhaps because of Xebec ? The directing was pretty bad in that episode and gave it some pacing issues. Sometimes the animation was too dark and it was hard to follow what was happenning. Despite there being "chaos" everywherr it felt really underwhelming and didn't give the sense of alarm. Also the OST is too quiet and doesn't really add to the atmosphere. Battles were kind of slopppy and at the beginning the blood was extremely badky done also is it me or the voice actors are subpar on this? Their voice sound kind of weird. The other things are opinion based but the animation was NOT too dark. Everything was clear in my screen and NO am not using very bright settings at all. You people need to calibrate your screens. As an advice i suggest increasing brightness a little and lowering down the contrast. The contrast lowering is for stopping the screen from being bright after you increase the brightness and the brightness increase will just allow more details to be shown without the white becoming too bright. |
| NAKATA SENSEI!!!! kay that was nice |
