| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- FABULOUS. The main character is a legendary pretty boy. Bones + action + fabulous pretty boy = hell yea :P As for the actual episode, it was a really silly episode (but not like I didn't expect it). Lot's of fun to watch moments. The animation was pretty damn good though, as expected of studio Bones. FABULOUS screenshots :P Next Episode Preview: OP theme ED theme |

| uhm I had no idea what's going on but the battle was awesome! |
 |
| A very good start^^ I really like the battle, it is just so good! |
 |
| hahah The conversation and the naming is kinda lame Its gonna be interesting I guess |
| This is even more weirder than heroman! Of course, animation is superb, but the episode was kinda weird and funny I don't even know how to describe this. The battle scene is just awesome and the transfomation part was FABULOUS. Maybe I'll watch this just for lol's. |

| Keyword of the day: FABULOUS This 1st episode meet my expectation :D BONES you are legend!!! Many people would compare this with Gurren Lagann but personally it think Revolutionary Girl Utena is the closet comparison with this anime e.g shady organization & underground battle arena. I love the OP & ED although at first i not sold with it when hear it's preview. Takuto FABULOUS transformation is awesome! The mecha battle is kickass & flamboyant in the same time e.g. Tauburn spinning in the air :) Oh, for your information guys the OP is storyboarded & directed by Shinichiro Watanabe, the Cowboy Bepop director :) |

| Mechanic Designs were nice to me. they're really similar to Baster Machines of Top 2! loled at the word "Ginga Bishonen" (Galactic Adonis?) and "Kiraboshi" (twinkling stars?) and, Battle scene was greater than expected. by the way, I couldn't believe that Obata Takeshi, the author of Death Note is the designer of characters. maybe that's because these characters have colorful hairs unlike Death Note or Hikago or Bakuman. |
Hana-kei said: Nope, not Takeshi Obata doing the original character design but the two siblings Misa Mizuya and Hiroka Mizuya (rumor floating that these two used to work with Obata but idk if it true) but yeah the art is similar ^_^;;by the way, I couldn't believe that Obata Takeshi, the author of Death Note is the designer of characters. maybe that's because these characters have colorful hairs unlike Death Note or Hikago or Bakuman. |
| 銀河美少年...oh man, hahahahaha, so funny. Animation and soundtrack were great though, so even though this episode was so random and weird at times I'm kind of looking forward to next week. |

| I never have seen Revolutionary Girl Utena but when you said so it must be, I do have to agreed with you Kagura89, don't think it's like Gurren Lagann. I'm also very impressed of the first episode. :D |

| Now this is the anime I've been waiting for all year! |

I heard the rumors that "Misa Mizuya and Hiroka Mizuya" is just an alias name of Obata. actually, some of them are really similar to Obata's characters... http://www.star-driver.net/character/index.html |
| It give nice impression and was interesting.. even thoughts I wasnt really sure should I watch or not xD |
 |
| KIRABOSHI! Yeah, I definitely liked what I saw here. |
 |
| I really liked the first episode xD also the opening was nice too. |
 |
| WTF did I just watch? I sure hope they will give us some kinda explanation about what happened here, because I sure couldn't understand anything. |
 |
| Ginga bishounen! Kiraboshi~! Lol, simply fabulous. Story doesn't make much sense so far, but it seems nice. Great animation. |
 |
| I like both the op and ed song! but the op seems more like an ed to me ^^'' I'm waiting for the sub~! |
| ^Subs are already out you know. |
|
| some people don't understand anything. Use your brains guys. I didn't have any problems. Quite original start. Hope for good wseries |
 |
| That's some fabulous henshin right there. |
 |
| I have one word for this series: Fabulous! |
 |
| Good so far Likable main character and good seiyu |
| Anyone else notice that the red haired guy sounded like Kida from DRRR? Its the same voice actor :D |
| ^ Yeah had that on my mind when i first saw him talked. The characters are both similar too. I loved the OP and ED. Besides the fact that they randomly transformed into a bishounen robot, with random mech fights... This was still awesome. I didn't think anything of this show when i saw it on the season roster, but this so far is the best of the season for me. Big surprise. |
| all i could think of was....god he is so gay. |
| Might I add, that this might be the best introductory episode to any anime I've seen in quite sometime. |

| @ShibuyaRiver Agreed @helur Agreed @kisami Stop being a homophobe. |
| This... was... awesome. I laughed my ass off, it was so much fun and 20 minutes of eyecandy, I need more. NOW! It's silly, it's ridiculous, I love it. :D |
| That. Was. Awesome. The characters were awesome the villains were cliched (which fits with the overall feel). The female lead is fucking adorable. The show is just plain awesome while maintaining a certain level of tongue in cheek. This last point is where I think people are finding the similarity with gurren lagann. Not to mention that takuto's entrance in that intermediary space-time hole thing strongly appeared to be going beyond the impossible. Heck he clearly kicked reason to the curb before the show even started when he swam across the freaking ocean. Truth be told the second I saw the episode title I was sold. I can see nowhere you could go with that and not have it be awesome. I suspect that for whom this is not the case might be a bit less receptive to what follows. Once in a while there is a show which my entire week revolves around. Days of the week are only significant insomuch as they indicate how long I have to wait until the second episode. I suspect that this may such a show. |
| I was a little confused but I'm sure the next few episodes will explain what happened and why. I love how some parts were just so "over-the-top". The Galactic Pretty Boy transformation scene made my day. The fight scene afterwards was nice too. Great OP and ED and I like the character designs. |
 |
| can you please tell me where to watch it with english or spanish subtitles please? |

I sure hope they will give us some kinda explanation about what happened here, because I sure couldn't understand anything. Want the song sang by the maiden!! Amazing animation and the fight scenes were pretty good. Loving the VA cast. The bishounens are highly appreciated ;) Amongst the new shows, only Iron Man was a let down. The new season is godlike. |

| AnimeDreaming and YesAnime put out recent episodes the fastest. If you want to download then go to NyaaTorrents. |
| Pretty cool, though I'm having a hard time figuring out what's going on. |
 |
| ok....the pretty boy part was gay, other than that this series shows lot's of promise. btw, is it just me or does that Wako girl look like the female version of Joey from heroman? |
 |
| If you want streams, YesAnime.tv is the only way to go. seriously. And whats up with people hating on Pretty Boy? I thought it was lols. If its gay is that wrong? |
| Some people just don't dig the bishies. It'll be interesting seeing if this can maintain the interest of such people, seeing as they appear to be in some way integral to the premise. As the episodes continue I want to try and find some way to gauge whether takuto is more or less flamboyant than lelouch. |
| This is Code Geass meets Gundam Wing meeats Gundam SEED. Dropped halfway through the episode. |
| Woah... That I think my eyes just came. |
