| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, that was a nice start, i guess. at least story wise. CGI is there and we can talk about that but overall it seems like we can get pass that and enjoy the show if it doesn't get any worse. |
| This animation style I don´t like, but the development is very acceptable!!! Well, the story continues where ended the before season, with the defeat of the Red Lotto! The De Guise injured seemed very dangerous I hope not die!!! This small blonde girl seems important, but I don't remember she for the before series or is possible she was a new character, I am in doubt now!!! |
| eye trauma. I don't think Ajin looked this rough. I've never seen a Fist of the North Star but it seems interesting from a story standpoint. There's just no getting past how ugly the CGI is. I think if anything its worth checking out to see if you'd be interested in the original. |

| Not a good start, but let's hope it will improve. The fights weren't good, not one bit. Guise lost! |
 |
| It might look better than Berserk, but it’s still a rape of Tetsuo Hara’s great art. |
| Wow, this is easily some of the best TV anime CGI I've ever seen. Some of these models looked more like a video game than a TV show and the textures were really well done, especially on the clothing materials. The background fodder looks meh but the main characters look great, especially Yan Wang. 64BitRatchet said: Will I understand this if I’ve never seen Fist of the Blue Sky, or Fist of the North Star? You don't have to have seen Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star (though doing so will help with lore) but, because this is a sequel, you need to have seen the original Souten no Ken/Fist of the Blue Sky. It's worth noting though that Fist of the North Star is a far better show than this is lol. |
| This is not the greatest GAR in the world No, this is just a Tribute. Couldn't remember the greatest GAR in the world Oh no, this is a Tribute. But no, seriously, this was... not great. It wasn't as terrible to look at as the 2006 series and it would appear that we're finally getting the arcs that made the manga my favorite non-JoJo GAR-manga of all time... but for one: What the FUCK was that OP? What kind of knob-head decided that a GAR-anime like Souten no Ken should get a Hip-Hop song for its OP? I'm not asking for epic Rock-ballads á la JoJo, but just a simple rock-OP would've been much, much better x.x. Secondly: Christ that CG. Again, it's less terrible than the 2006 series, but that's really not a high bar to clear. On its own, the CG here is... in some places, it was pretty damn good, not gonna lie (the one scene where Guise walked around the corner looked surprisingly good for example), but dear god, this is still an insult to the amazing art that the manga had. I hope that they'll fix AT LEAST the abysmal fps-count that most scenes had... :| But yeah, overall, not as bad as the 2006 one so far, but nonetheless not great. FK that OP though X.X |

| It was an interesting episode, but it felt like I was playing a game with a lot of lag, It was a weird feeling for sure, but I'll keep watching to see where it goes. |
| As far as the animation goes,I'd say it has its moments,the stills and some of the movements look really nice,while at other times the 20fps is really noticeable and can ruin a bit of the experience.That being said,I liked the story in the episode and it was a rather enjoyable watch. |
| Well, there goes all the effort Houseki no Kuni made last year to show that it is possible to make a really good full-CGI anime. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Fucking vomit visuals, the character designs are abominations, their heads remind me of actual penises. Fuck this. The slice animation was the funniest thing I've ever seen. Some manga should never be done in this style.  |
| :3 |
FanDaMarisa said: I know this is not going to be heard but ... You who are giving 1/10 in the anime dropping it because of the CG, could remove the anime from the list and leave the note as neutral, I find it very unfair someone who saw 30 seconds and dropped, give a note that will harm the entire anime, just for not liking the animation style. Yeah its so stupid when people do that,its even worse when they compare a series animation with movie animation,the budget,the time,its nowhere near. |

| The OP is lit! That was surprisingly non-bloody tbh, I expected blood splatters everywhere...Also, I don't mind the CG at all, but the frame rate is making me dizzy. I'll stick for a few more episodes and if it stays like this, I'll drop it. I'm not watching an anime that is literally unwatchable... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Still better than Berserk's 3D CGI... |
| Holy Fuck this is complete garbo |
| hi |
| I'm not fussed by 3D unless it's really bad. I could watch this if it was just the guys, but the girls look like shit. |
| sTUPID Censorships and wonky CGI aside, I think this is still worth a watch for kenshiro alone, also: that OP is Really good, the cgi there is a lot better than in the actual anime. PS: someone can give me a summary of what happened in the first season? I watched it 4 years ago, and found it pretty bland so I don't remember much. |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |

| 90s called, they want their cgi back. |

| WOW! OMG! the most coolest 1st episodes i've ever seen! props to Polygon pictures! 5/5. |
 |
| No. Just because Houseki no Kuni pulled off the CGI nicely, doesn't mean others should run with it! I'm still trying to forget Berserk 2016. |

| THe animation did not bother me that much. The 1st episode was not bad at all |
| People need to stop crying about the CGI. Story still flowed and had some kick ass moments. Plus we have Kenshiro back so fuck yes! |
Vindicater said: People need to stop crying about the CGI. Story still flowed and had some kick ass moments. Plus we have Kenshiro back so fuck yes! exactly what I said! |
| This show isn't quite Berserk bad, but it's not good. The animation is stiff and the framerate makes it hard to watch. It feels like I'm watching videogame cutscenes that are struggling to run well. The models are at least of reasonable quality, but that doesn't mean much when it looks so poor. Sucks that such well known properties are getting screwed over like this lately. |
| The CGI is not that bad at least |
 |
| The best part of this episode, aesthetically speaking, were the two minutes flat of 2D animation, that for me overruled the remaining 21 minutes of CGI. That's sad, man. I'm not gonna drop it (not yet), but that's not a good sign. |
 |
Vindicater said: People need to stop crying about the CGI. Story still flowed and had some kick ass moments. Plus we have Kenshiro back so fuck yes! So we're not allowed to dislike bad visuals/animation? Maybe you're not bothered by it, but it's completely understandable why somebody would be. |
 |
| well normally I watch anime for the story I don't really care about the visuals/animation things so far good for me |
 |
| It's ugly as sin but I'm liking the development so far. Honestly I thought it would look a bit worse based on the promo art. The testosterone is just starting to flow! |
| I am definitely feeling some kind of way about this 1st episode. I'm put off by the 2D-3D artwork, animation, and character design (Kenshirou's neck!). Since it's only the 1st episode, I can't yet comment on the story. I do like the OP!! |
