so they decided to cut those scenes.. at least, i think it's not that obvious if you haven't seen the trailer.. well.. guess we'll just have to wait for the dvd's.. or will other channels air it without censors?..

anyway, this seems to be a good start.. and the action also looks cool.. ED is also good fanservice.. i don't find any of the girls annoying.. voice acting seems to fit it as well..

haha.. are scythes becoming popular this season?.. coz we have this, but we also had Durarara!! and Ookamikakushi with scythes.. haha..

@argilium: Haha, never thought about the scythes before.

I liked the episode. Nice start. The story seems to be meh though, main character underpowered in my opinion. Too much fanservice =A=

Main char need not be powerful for a good story.. is that how you base what you watched? but i gotta say, this show has meh story for now.. and you're lucky they've even censored it.. i mean, why watch this if you're not expecting lots of fanservice..

Plus they're really bad censors. They're just badly animated replacement scenes....while shadows/steam are kind of annoying, this makes it just ridiculous.

Yay for censors...not!!

The last winter show im going to pick up...im a little bit disappointed, not that im expecting anything, i stopped reading the manga.

Characters are somewhat good. Mafuyu is better here than manga. Tomo is good, but her breasts are an eyesore. How can she carry those things :)). Tomo is voiced by Aki Toyosaki. Her voice doesnt change a bit but oh well. Alexander(Sasha or whatever) looks cool in the dark but in the light...ooohhh so gay...good voice nonetheless..

Fights were good but manga was better. OP is great, ED not so much. And what is up with the censors? But the
was still heard so im good...

Not bad but not good..8/10

It will not be censored when it airs on ATX. They are normally a week or two behind the other broadcasters like MBS.

The censoring really messed up the flow of the action scenes. Other than that so far it looks ok. Though Tomo's breasts look twice as big in the anime or at least that's how it looks to me @,@

The question is, is AT-X indeed one of the broadcasters for this show? Did you check the official site?

Scratch that. AT-X will indeed air it at the end of the month. I'll just wait for their version and hopefully subbed by a group.

If i didn't watch the preview, i wouldn't have even known what he was doing in the church, nor what soma is. The censoring done was harmful to the storyline in this case.

Seems like it may be a decent show, but over censoring for the sake of selling dvds does annoy me, especially when you have a show broken to such a degree because of it.

Hearing russian words in anime (they where awful!).. that make me lough!
And moment then Sasha grab breast of Tomo ... i smiled.

but... while watching whole ep i got feeling like :
" This is Fullmetal Alchemist + D.Gray men"
that feeling + TOO big breast of Tomo = 4 from 5 points in overall ep score

I will watch this ^)

This was as horrible as I thought it would be lol. The only good thing about this show is the character designs. It's too bad they had to waste such talent on a Hentai show like this. I would to have loved to see a legitimate action series with these types of character designs. O well, I'll continue to watch it despite the ecchiness.

One thing I couldn't help but hate is Tomo voiced by Aki Toyosaki. I've had enough of K-ON resemblances and voice acting performed by her in recent shows. I like K-ON! but that dumb-ass character just pisses me off with those huge jugs. She was obviously a convenient fuel station at first sight.

They made the idea of the breast sucking not that bizzare from the painting and will eventually include some religious ramblings.

The censoring was ridiculous! So much stuff cut out that lead to bad transitions.

Overall, an ok episode.

Interesting. . . wasn't sure what to expect of this from the trailer. So far it seems like it can be a very interesting show. The OP was very nice. The actions scenes were also nice. Censors. . . well really you shouldn't have it being if you haven't seen the trailer it will be confusing. A bit silly as well. Characters are nice. Mafuyu is cool. Will have to keep watching more. So far, out of the animes I have watched for this season this seems to have gone past my expectations at least for first episode viewing wise. We will see how the rest goes. Over all a enjoyable first episode.

This was like Element Hunters + Trinity Blade + Major Boobage with some white hair boy-girl-bleeder which's not 13 cuz it's still refueling at large breaststations! Running with selfmade iron sythes from nipple to nipple, speaking russian and still reminds me of Toshiro though.. naa this anime will be DIFFERENT^^ but definitely not legen....wait....DARY!

That made me lol a bit. I might go read the manga for the plot, cuz I don't know if I can stand 24 eps unless there's a decent storyline to go along with all the junk. I'm starting to get really sick of idiot characters too. I think I'll wait til it finishes airing and then marathon it.

My god, no, you are absolutely right.

-You have the guy who creates weapons out of thin air...
-A lot of tit jokes
-Some spunky girl who is given the same VA as Cecily Campbell who wants to become stronger and wields a sword.
-Some really timid girl who has the same VA as Lisa who is apparently going to be a source of power for the protagonist... <_<

I really hope you are damn right. Blacksmith was the most disappointing show ever.

I'm probably giving this show a watch to completion though just because I'm a sucker for ecchi.

This was better than I thought it would have been, especially animation wise outside of the obvious replacement/crop parts. I was amused at the serious mid fight drinking, though I don't know about 24 episodes of it. I'll see how it goes.

as one whom don't care the echii stuff and just want the anime is faithful to the manga like you, i must agree the adaptation is decent.

But hell they just like not have the budget to adapt the fight scene. Fighting Artwork from manga is very awesome, Sasha looked more badass on the 1st night compared to this. Will drop its if no improvement on the fight scene.

Echii stuff ? i can live without its, this title is already awesome without that.
Story ? i rather re-read the manga if i want that aspec on this adaptatiot, i want the BADASS Sasha action get animated by properly.

LEt's see...


-You have the guy who creates weapons out of thin air... //Archer, Shiro, Gilgamesh.
-Some spunky girl who is given the same VA as Cecily Campbell who wants to become stronger and wields a sword.//Saber, Rin
-Some really timid girl who has the same VA as Lisa who is apparently going to be a source of power for the protagonist... <_<//Rin, Sakura

Oh wow, you just described Fate/Stay Night, i guess that means that fsn rips off the shitty blacksmith series too, eh?


Erza in FT creates weapons out of thin air too!~

Seriously just because some elements are common in other anime, it does not make the anime a rip off of "something".

I think they are planning to use animation quality on more major fights(or at least I hope so). Considering the fighting in Ep1 was fairly minor...

More like the other way around.

Seriously just because some elements are common in other anime, it does not make the anime a rip off of "something".
While I agree with this statement, I'm really quite concerned that SnQ is going to do the same thing as SnB, where they end up not developing the plot adequately in favor of repetitive sex jokes...although at the very least, they seem to have better than lame fight scenes.

Either way...I'm not having particularly high hopes after watching the first episode. It's doing an awful lot of the things that made me hate Blacksmith so far...this better not be a trend for 80% of the series.
