THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It's not bad actually even with the CGI stuff. I mean, it should of been expected already because of SANZIGEN studio. But more importantly, the show is original so expectations coming into this series should be fresh.

First half has a mysterious feel to it as the kids discover some mysterious mecha-like being. The sci-adventure elements are evident but I'm more curious to learn about the main characters.


Their mother is also quite courageous. But eh, idk how rest of the season will turn out, seems like a hit or miss. Akira seems like a tolerable character so far. I expect his sci-fi adventures to take him to places like never before.


Oh and don't piss off Kogane.

FUCKKKKKKK WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS DAD AND SISTER DAMMIT

Man if there's one backstory this season that I really want to see in addition to Shouwa, it would be this series....My goodness the potential with this series is great just about for every aspect like story, character development even just action

I'm very curious to learn about the Buranki as well as what happened as a result of Azuma's sister fucking things up as well as why everyone at doing the things that they are doing....Also by the sound of things, this series is going to be intense so I'm just even more excited

The CGI looked great imo and the animation and art style really suited things pretty well....Action was good too and so far I'm liking these characters a lot and I'm surprised to see how much Azuma has grown over the years

That CGI was well done, so it's not too distracting. I like the world building and atmosphere so far.

This was definitely one of the better premiere episodes this season so far. Not as good as the lights of Boku Dake but definitely above average. One thing though, is it just me or did Azuma's sister go missing after 10 years? I might have missed it but she didn't appear at all did she?

Either way, I will definitely be watching episode 2. The world setting seems rather legitimate and interesting to keep me hooked.

Wow ... im impressed by the CGI

Usually the difference to original drawn characters and Co. is so great that i puke and instantly drop the series....
But this anime might the final cornerstone that makes it work.

Just a couple years more and you won't be able to tell the difference :)

Other than that .. well coward mc is a coward mc. Must be the inferior complex to his sister :O ?

MC has no visible personality whatsoever, he was an annoying wimp as a kid and I can only imagine him being the most generic shounen MC ever.
No one got any proper introductions and nothing really makes sense.
If your idea was to grab me by putting all the actions at the front, well, you didn't do a good job.

CGI looks good, certainly the best I have seen in TV anime.

And MC's fashion sense is even worst than all the things above combined, what the fuck he looks so bad.

I'm actually very intrigued by the setting. It shifted into a more urban setting but the first half looked quite nice.

MC is unremarkable.
Of course he would be though because his sister wouldn't stop bitching at him for everything.
She was horrendous. If she's going to show up again let's just hope it takes her as long as possible to do so.

Pleasantly surprised overall at least for now.

Wow, this was actually on a whole never than my expectations. Azuma is the only down side which is a pretty big blow to my overall enjoyment since he's the MC and all but hopefully he'll develop.

Everything else was great. No characters that really stand out so far (maybe green haired twin tails kinda does, liking her) but the Bubuki's look cool and that cowboy guy was awesome! Quite the intimidating villain already.

I really wonder what happened to Kaoroku and their dad?? I bet Kaoroku's probably a pro at using Bubuki by now seeing her type of personality (which caused the entire f*** up in the first place...^^;) But I'd imagine her being the try hard even reaching obsession level type.

Their parents are probably my fav characters of the series so far. Hope the dad's ok and that the mom hasn't died :(

Good shit. Looking forward to see more.

I love the setting. Urbam fantasy with an island in the sky. Hiiragi intrigues me a bit, since he seems to be acting as the leader of the group despite clearly having his own agenda. In the preview, he actually attacked Azuma. Perhaps, eventually he'll defect or something and Azuma'll become the leader. No matter what though, this show seems very interesting, since there are obvious points not being answered.

I hope Azuma might have some character development over the course of the show and that he'd suffer a bit.

Nod bad CG for environment, but it looks rather average in general (it's compliment, I rarely call "average" something, which is based on CG, most of CG shows looks like trash), especially characters desing, which is rather simple and their animation which is pure garbage.At least backgrounds are awesome :)

In the other side it definitely looks much better than Divine Gate, which is ultra garbage.
Not bad plot (probably). Definitely nothing impressive, bbut I will watch 3/5.

was in doubt about watching this, summary was pretty generic
not a bad start though

first half was really atmospheric, felt like a movie
second half wasn't as much, but still, the urban undertones were there

too many chars showed up though, not sure if they can make them interesting or theyre just fodder
MC pretty standard for a setting like this, which also isn't that remarkable

I'm interested, but not sold yet

Wow. That was better than I expected. I really enjoyed that first episode and the premise seems promising.

Where is his sister and his dad? Did they die?

That ending when Azuma got to the Oubu though. Its naked self gave quite the impact. I'm guessing they, Reoko and her "adult" team, took it apart to conceal the events that actually happened 10 years ago. It makes me wonder if those Bubuki weapons were from Oubu.

Would Oubu would work with just the heart, which Azuma was supposed to have? Or would they have to collect its parts and put it together to make it work again?

Anyways, I got a bit confused because I expected Azuma to see the Buranki, not the Oubu. The Buranki fell with them so I'm not sure how Oubu got there tbh. And what's a Bubuki? I guess I'll just have to find out! Can't wait to see the next episode!

PS: I'm loving Shizuru. The way she talks reminds me of Juuzou xD

Not sure how I feel about the CGI, at times it was nice and added to what was happening, other times it just felt a bit off. Not going to lie, the sound clipping was irritating. Either way I enjoyed that and it's got a good story so I hope it lives up to what I've seen in the first ep.

Take a look on Orange's works. For example mechas in Comet Lucifer. This is something which you can call good CG.
Bubuki doesn't look even close to it. Especially because garbage animation of CG characters.

Yay, more cg on characters! -.-' Aside from that it was better than expected. Setting seems interesting enough. Music was good but that was expected because the same guy also did Rolling Girls and Shigatsu music. Backround art is gorgeous. Characters are ok, I expected them to be far more cringe-worthy. All in all this first ep really reminded me of the first ep of Comet Lucifer, from the flair and the way it was done. Hopefully it won't be the same trainwreck as that show...

The cgi on the characters ranged from decent to absolute garbage. Really, I thought the disparity in quality was quite jarring.

The CGI was decent. It just needs some polish, I think. You could feel the missing frames of animation sometimes, and the expressions were awkward at others. Yet it's better than a lot of anime CGI I've seen.

The first half was really adorable, actually, until things went sour.

The ED was nice too. CGI still has a long way to go in Japan, it seems. Action was well-done.

6/10, excited for the next episode.

I think this is one of the better first episodes this season!

Definitely want to know more about he story.

Where is his Dad and Sis? Why was his mother framed? What are Buranki? What are Bubuki? So many questions that I hope we get answered.

This one has lots of potential with the story, character development, the world, etc!

Definitely in my top 5 this season!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

First half was very good, the setting was just wow. The second half... not so much. Do we really need to ruin what seemed such a nice premise with cartoonish bs - extravagant looking kids with weapons. Such a shame.

The episode was very fast paced but it felt rather alright unlike Prince of Stride for example which felt a bit fast forwarded. The action sequences were very nice, and overall the visuals look almost incredible, those backgrounds :o

The music was so freakin good and very noticeable and after immediately checking who's doing it I'm not surprised to see Yokoyama Masaru.

Has potential. Maybe.

I get the distinct feeling that how they re-introduce her will be what makes or breaks this series. There was too much build up around her in the first half, so they will have to do something pretty awesome when they bring her back.
