THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The first episode was okay imo. The series reminds me of Code:Breaker a bit. Kyousuke is a badass especially when he throws that object into the helicopter and BOOM! The fighting between the inmates were kinda cruel imo but otherwise fits within the theme of the series.

Overall episode felt kinda fast but not too shabby. I sort of liked the OP song as well.

Heh, this girl reminds me of Dalian:

I really liked this premiere! I haven't watched the parent series Zettai Karen Children so this is someone coming from a brand new perspective. This episode did a great job of world building naturally and not just expaining for the sake of. It left hints of a bigger world out there. The characters are no pushovers as well, Hyobu Kyousuke and Andy Hinomya have a certain edge to them which I enjoy. Especially Andy with that reveal at the end, what could his goal be I wonder? O.o

This definitely looks like a keeper.
There was hardly any annoying exposition parts in this episoe which bodes well for the storytelling and the few main characters who got introduced already showed various sides of their personality, making them compelling to watch as a result.

While the esper theme is not exactly new, the fact that this show decided to focus on a criminal organization instead intrigues me.

Love the stylish ED.

Yuugiri is so cute <3

Good episode! Much better than expected. I haven't seen Zettai Karen Children yet, but thankfully, it wasn't too clothed in in-series references for me to understand what was going on. The story was told coherently and I had no problem piecing things together, something a fair number of spin-offs neglect to do. The little twist at the end was great, too, building much intrigue for the next episode. Can't wait to see how this show turns out!

Why do people dislike Code:Breaker so much? Whatever. It did have a bit of Code:Breaker feel to it, but I really liked it. The animation was amazing. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

I was wondering who Yugiri looked similar too, and then I realized it was Dalian. XD

Zettai Karen Children was released much earlier than Code:Breaker.
Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke is just Kyousuke's arc. Nothing wrong about it.

Do not approve of new anime style, Kyosuke doesn't just look like Kyosuke the end story xD for the rest it might be promising but I can't see the connection with this Kyosuke en the 1 in the original anime at all...

And from the side comment when they board the yacht, it looks like Kyosuke and PANDRA are already well aware of it.

This looks pretty good--I'm going to be cheering for PANDRA and the Esper team.

Very well done anime. The beginning immediately caught my attention.. At first, I was spaced out and just wanted to see how this anime would turn out and buffered the anime just for the hell of it. It turned out to definitely be worth the time! But I was honestly hoping for a bit more of "prison life" in the anime. He broke free pretty effortlessly - but the fight scene was still cool.

I can't wait to see what else is in store!

You know an anime is good in terms in action if you can't help but rape that replay button.

Such a great way to start the anime! I was worry how the animation quality for the action would be carry out due to PVs but it doesn't disappoint ^^

Kyousuke was such a bad ass!!!! He even gets his own epic soundtrack when he does epic things.

5/5 for this episode <3

I was hesitant to watch this because I thought they were going to be trapped in the island and have to spend the rest of the anime there, like Btooom and Deadman Wonderland. Glad they're off the island.

ZKC has always been one of my favorite anime and you will get no such complaint from me. The original could be just as dark at times. The characters all have the exact same personalities, well Kyousuke does anyway. If anything I'm hoping this series will get more people to watch the original.

Well the whole ZKC story is about the most powerful esper joining PANDRA in the end. It's like already knowing how the story ends and watching all the events unfold that lead up to it. The main characters start out as kids so it's light-hearted in the beginning, but as they grow older and mature so too does the story and it's elements.

In my opinion Kyousuke was the most interesting character in the original Zettai series so I'm really happy about him getting his own anime. It seems to be well done and nothing to complain about so far...he really kicks ass ^3^

Hyobu was my favourite character from the ZKC series. He is such an epic anti-hero; I wouldn't label him as a villain. Whenever PANDRA are involved things tend to get interesting since they have got the most skilled & badass espers in the series so I am glad we have a show where we see more of them.

A very promising premiere. Hyobu was badass as usual, the new additions to the cast looks promising and I can't wait to see the rest of PANDRA in action. I hope this a long-running anime. New viewers of the show should enjoy it and ZKC fans as well

Really? I tried the OVA thinking the same thing you just said it didn't feel any different but hey "to each their own" right? Though the second season jokes in the ova were funny (20000 copies lol)

When my brother watched ZKC he told me I would like Kyousuke, and he wasn't wrong :3 Maybe I'll finally get to that series sometime soon. For now though I really love this, can't wait for more!

Out of curiosity and randomly I started watching the first minutes of it. Later I find out that Manglobe is behind this series, so I had to download it to see it in good quality and damn I was left speechless. What a great first episode, love everything in it so far. 5/5

Does this anime carry on with the story of the parent series or is it a standalone one i.e. can be picked up without watching the original one and without missing any context?

So there is an ecm capable of stopping hyoubu. I thought there was none because even the ecm on the East Eden can't stop his powers.

Great ep

I think the reason they made this series is cause of what happened in the regular manga. That aside his unlimited reminded me of super saiyan alot.
