Lol did they just spoiled the Supreme King Yaiba vs Demon King Onimaru fight from the final arc at the beginning of the episode? It's nice to see Orochi animated for the first time

I wish they could at least get Ryo Horikawa back as Onimaruu considering they kept Takayama as Yaiba in the remake (That and Horikawa also voices Hattori in Detective Conan as well).

okay this right here might be my anime of the season, it's the only one so far that has lived up to expectations. amazing animation, love how colorful it is, strongly gives off that classic shounen vibe (as to expect of 40 y/o source material), and the music is great. was worried for a second because the mc seemed like he was gonna be a lame perv but it's done in moderation luckily. already mentioned the animation but damn they are not cutting any corners there. big fan of the goofy tiger too. big stocks on this one.

Excellent animation and enjoyable character dynamics. Cool to see another work of Aoyama Gosho in this day and age.

That was quite a lot to take in for the first episode. Visually, WIT Studio brought their A-game to this. I did hear that this show had a extremely stacked list of animators but damn, this was on display the entire time and brought Gosho Aoyama's characters and fights to life in such a frenetic way. Almost too frenetic since there was not much breathing room in this episode (opening included), since I did feel a bit tired with this by the end. This gave off such 80s vibes with the story, characters and designs but visually, fits very well in the modern climate and does feel like a passion project of sorts. Definitely had that nostalgic touch to it and made me feel like a kid watching this. I don't expect Yaiba to be the greatest show ever with the best story, it might even get worse as time goes. But for first impressions, Yaiba pretty much sold what it was going to be and was brutally honest about it.

The animation is awesome...and overly done at some point.

It doesn't capture how the original anime was a parody of samurai anime and was such a guilty pleasure.

It's still a question mark if the tone will get dark for it to really deserve the sakuga fest it is getting.

This was amazing, i know the manga is just your typical 90s shōnen, but the execution made me speechless we need more remake like these.

Feels surprisingly not that oldschool. I never really watched conan cause the character designs are ugly, specially the bigass eyes but this though doesn't look bad. The animation is spectacular as expected from WIT. Really like the visuals, vibrant and neat. The story/plot is the usual shounen stuff but I like the characters. Good cast for them as well.

SAKUGA GALORE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved it loved it loved it!!!!! This was such a great start to a retro shonen show made back from almost 40 years ago!!! Like you can feel the old anime nostalgia vibes from how the MC acts man, I feel like a kid watching a shonen show back when I was young man it feels like. And I like how bros like Kid Goku but more hyper and I love how this is made by the same Mangaka that made Detective Conan if anything this was made before Detective Conan which explains why the girl looks exactly like Ran Mori but just a loli version of her character I love her so much already😭💢😭💢

Dawg the animation in this show is fucking nuts man WIT brought put all the heavyweights for this remake ong bc why was almost part of this episode basically Sakuga animation bro, like we started the episode with a Sakuga fest and it didn’t stop till the end of this episode like they put hearts into this fr🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥹

The opening and the ending song are fucking BANGERS man, the opening gives off that retro shonen vibes that you’d hear in a bleach opening or something and the ending song sounds so chill, nice and relaxing the woman singing it sounds great same with the guy in the opening, it makes me feel like I’m bout to witness greatness, I’m definitely adding them to the playlist fr🔥🔥

Next episode bout to be Yaiba vs Onimaru I can’t wait to see how it goes🤩

Very nice first episode. I think more people should be watching this. I'll have to consider watching the original anime too to compare.
Not a big fan of the OP. Too much going on and it makes it hard to follow. The ED was nice and chill though.
I look forward to seeing how Yaiba and Onimaru's rivalry develops.

It’s enough for me to say that I heard Takayama Minami, the voice actress of Detective Conan, voicing the main character Yaiba! That alone is enough for me to give this anime a 10/10! Hearing her sing, get excited, and run around as Yaiba made me imagine Conan in those scenes—and even started imagining Sayaka as Ran Mouri!

This anime is a 10/10. Case closed.
