Nice Intro Episode. I think this gives us an idea on how insane the anime can get. I'm sure it will be alot worse crazy wise as more episodes are released.

Has a lot of potential! Hope this is good gets popular and changes things in anime a bit. Anime lately been getting real boring. Even though ther are doing 10 min eps Id still like to know a backstory at least....and lol at the transformation part.

That's got to be the hottest thing of seen from anime in a while OO

I laughed so hard during this episode.

The humor reminds me of Ren and Stimpy; very sick humor, but hilarious to me nonetheless.

So many people are calling this a mature Powerpuff Girls!
I was going to state the same thing; thinking I was coming out with something original.
I suppose good minds think alike?

That was fucking crazy!!!

I wouldn't say it's similar to western cartoons, though...
The 3d effects were awesome.
Did the cluster of police cars become so massive that it collapsed under gravity?

It's not what I expected.. but that's a good thing since I didn't think I would like it.

This show is definitely a parody of Dirty Pair Flash, in which there are two girls codenamed "lovely angels" and the girl with a long hair uses the sword and the girl with a shorter hair uses the gun.

Also, there were some Kill-Bill-like background music, when Stocking

Gainax is so trolling us. I half-expected the animation style to change permanently after that transformation scene in the middle but I guess me and my moe cravings will have to deal.

I have serious doubts about them sustaining this quality and entertainment value throughout but prove me wrong.

There were parts I liked and parts I didn't. Overall it didn't wow me on the first episode but they gave us a premise to build on and promises of craziness and action to come so I think I'm in for the ride.

With all the awesome stuff happening this season perhaps their timing could have been better. In a crappier season it would have been gold, as it is I suspect bronze, silver at best.

That being said it's something different from the norm and clearly experimental to a degree so I'm always up for some of that. I look forward to seeing where this goes.

I'm pretty sure the entire show will be "filler", I just have doubts they can make all the episodes this interesting and fun without an overarching story = it could become repetitive. But since this is just the first episode, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and hoping for the best.

What the hell did I just watch. This would've fit back in the 90s with all the gross-out humor. I laughed at the old shopping lady getting run over...that's about it. I won't be continuing this one, hope the rest of you have fun.


I'd like to commend and thank kariohki and a few of the others for voicing a negative opinion in a civil voice, a very rare thing around here.

The comments along the line of "style can only carry you so far" are well observed but so far I loved it, everything about it. And since these are the folks who brought us FLCL one can only hope.

Well said sir.
Imaishi & co show us that they can make western style cartoon into pile of awesomeness like this. It's been awhile I watch acid trip show since FLCL :D

I just curious what Genndy Tartakovsky will thinking if he saw this shit :P

Not sure what to make of this yet... the art is a big plus, so is the soundtrack, and the formatting into vignettes makes it so nothing is drawn out for too long. Just feels like it's trying way too hard to be edgy in its comedy. A whole lot more tolerable than Dead Leaves, though.

THIS. It reminds me of the Western animation that I loved, before everything became ugly crap that looked like it was animated in Flash. It's not a very anime-ish anime imo, but who cares. It's good stuff.

Its weird seeing all of this sexualized animu humour with a western-esque animation style...it's like PPG grown-up, or something.

That said, it was awesome. Definitely going to keep watching this. 8D
Also, I like their chubby legs. :I

This was awesome.

I used to love the Powerpuff Girls, so I'm loving the style of this. The transformation sequence with them on the poles was great.

This is easily going to be my favorite for the season.

yes episodic = filler

cowboy bebop was a filler show (no it wasn't)

and I don't know why everyone is still comparing it to PPG (aside from the fact that everyone else is doing it), ep 1 did reference PPG with the panties background parodying the hearts background but aside from that there aren't that many similarities (PPG didn't create this angular Cartoon Network style, 'cute girls fighting monsters' has been done before, and the main characters look absolutely nothing like them)

Hm... I actually loved dead leaves, yet I have reservations about this. It feels like there's too much of the humor and not enough of the other stuff I like.

I'm reasonably sure the person who said the whole show being filler thing was merely making the point that the concept of filler is a moot point in a show episodic in nature. Though it could just as easily be an attempt to state that since this isn't based on any particular source material (The manga beginning publication in unison with the anime) the notion of filler is moot.

Anyway regardless of your complaints about his wording, it still remains true that filler is not a concern with this show.

It was ok. Not as good as I expected it to be but the fast paced dynamic action scenes leaves a satisfactory aftertaste. Still doesn't say much and the "cool and edgy" gimmick is a bit over-pronounced.
