| Yo, that shit was awesome. I haven't started watching Dorohedoro, but this does indeed give me Dorohedoro vibes lmao. Artstyle kinda reminds me of Id:Invaded too. Kurokawa is the most Tsuda Kenjiro looking kinda character lmao. That man Bisco's lying was so good, but he still got caught in the end. Characters are great too so far, Milo's cool and Pawoo's hot. I am really intrigued by the pink haired girl though. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| I loved everything except that metal music |
| was expecting a better animation but hey, the rest was interesting. |
| This seems decent enough. Definitely has some potential to become great! |
| Woohoo let's GOOOO!!!! Sabikui Bisco is here!!!....huh. This episode sure introduced us into a legit BANG as the "Iron Man" destroyed the hell out of Japan. And with the story slowly but not yet surely making sense to most, this anime is going to be a slow-burner. Not gonna lie, this has the feels of an anime-original, I just feel the vibes of it. Of course it's not, it's source is a light novel, but the way it opens up to us makes us feel that it's a grand story slowly unraveling itself. The characters sure are colorful enough to pass, Bisco is a fucking 2022 badass MC waiting to burst out, Milo is a bishie doctor (ooh that face), and her equally badass sister Pawoo who only has the rust to her detriment. Like most of us, we don't know the full scope yet, but I guess Bisco is a terrorist to most people, but framed the wrong way. And with Guv' Kurokawa and the Imihama Prefecture surely chasing him out of the land, this is surely likely to be a thrilling adventure. Let's just hope that it is a great one. I get these Akudama Drive vibes with this anime. I also hope it doesn't end mutely like Akudama, and more of like y'know--- |

| Some of the action spectacles were nice this episode but otherwise not completely sold on this. Granted it been only one episode but already seeing some red flags in the characters. The typical sole outcast wrongly accused of something bad, but is actually a guy with a golden heart. The typical "do everything he can at any cost" doctor, who is bounded by righteousness and driving by his research to find a cure. A sister warrior type, single mindedly driven by her job to keep peace and protect her brother even at the cost of losing her life. The corrupt mafioso like mayor that runs the town and likely seeks power & profit by withholding the cure and/or research on the cure. Did I like this episode? Yes. Do I think it's overtly special? No, not at all. |
| It's interesting even though I had no idea what was going on |
 |
| That was honestly so interesting. At first I didn’t really understand much, which is understandable as it’s the first episode, but the general gist is pretty clear. Love seeing a wacky new premise. I’m sure there will be a fair few haters, fueled by the fact that the premise is slightly odd, but it truly is a breath of fresh air. Loads of people said they expect more from the animation in the coming episodes but I thought it was great here. Really hope bisco is a badass mc, nekoyonagi seems like a genuinely great guy, maybe if they team up, bisco can start his ascension to becoming a hero. |
| The concept is interesting I liked it the setting and the animation and also the PLOT in this episode was really good |
 |
Zeenogre said: Honestly, the first episode was so wild I loved it. The concept seems pretty unique from other things I've been watching recently so I'm hoping it keeps at the standard it set for itself already and doesn't fizzle out! The concept has me hooked in at the moment. Hopefully keeps going strong. |
| Nice premise. I'm interested to see where it'll go from here although I hope the animation gets better. |
 |
| ohohohow! this seems interesting! a keeper for sure! 5/5. |
 |
| The first ep left rather lukewarm impression. However, the premise of tossing narration between different momnets in time might be beneficial later down the line. Given the strong mushroom motif I wonder whether cretors will throw in some references to Dorohedoro. |
| Aggressively incoherent and mediocre. Dull art, animation and music, empty worldbuilding, repulsive designs, and above all just boring as hell. And ever-so-lazy characterisation, it's expies left and right. Not worth my valuable time, that's for sure. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| GREAT PREMIERE! first episode already got me interested especially to the main character Bisco, man looks so badass (& Pawoo's a baddie). will definitely look forward to the next episode that cliffhanger tho:  |

| I believe it's going to be a really good series. Such a post-apo atmosphere and great music do the job. I'm very curious about the main character, Bisco. I really like his design and his voice is great too.Yeah, he looks so badass. And I must say that I love Tsuda Kenjiro's voice, who is Kurokawa's voice actor. Looking forward to the next episodes. |

| What a wacky premise. Welp that was a pretty confusing episode. It feels like I've had only understood 40% of what was going on, but it seems pretty interesting. This basically features Milo who wants and trying to save his sister suffering from rusting using mushroom which is the root of it and Bisco who is the terrorist who's goal we still don't know. My only issue with this is there's too much exposition and interactions that doesn't seem to feel natural. Aside from that, it's all pretty good. OP is kinda mid though but the visual looks great. |

| That was fun, i'll try to follow this anime, i have 2 reason so far: 1. Natsuki hanae. 2. Pawoo, she's hot AF. |

A - Why would being critical be unnecessary? B - How can you identify this even is being "critical," rather than "fair?"

And ever-so-lazy characterisation, it's expies left and right. Not worth my valuable time, that's for sure. I'm not really sure on what, I feel I got straight to the point, but alright. Well to begin with, the checkpoint was evidently used as a framing device for introducing Bisco, but it was also interspersed with sequences in the city taking place at a different time, that I'm still not certain are meant to be prior or earlier. The obvious reveal was pulled out too long, even into the next episode, it seems, which only further causes the sequence to be less of an opportunity for narration and more an interruption to the story. I haven't read the source material, but I would assume this is a holdover from the book, where such an idea would likely make a lot more sense, only the adaptation failed to consider how it breaks up the visual flow, a problem which the original obviously didn't face. Which segues to the art and animation, where both are just uninspired. No unique techniques or designs, which on the one hand I do note there wasn't much opportunity to do in this first episode, but that in itself is rather an issue. I'll tangent off on the pacing for a sec; the whole episode felt more like the first half of one. I'll admit, I did initially consider leaving it for one week longer, if it had done an hour-long premiere perhaps it could have done something. Worldbuilding, while a lot of people have given it a lot of praise, there was really not much shown. We know that there is a Rust disease and Mushrooms are a thing, and that this guy and his sister live in a shithole. That's about it. We didn't really get a good glimpse at society there, or the local history, or even any sort of power structure. We got hints of that last point, but it quickly devolved to a generic gang doing gang stuff. As with the art and animation, the issue here is primarily a lack of creativity. And then the few characters we've been shown are just basic anime tropes. There's no evident depth to any of them. I really can't think fo what else to say on that point, just again, no evident creativity. Judging from what positive claims about this show are saying It rather seems like most of what this show has going for it is being weird, throwing all sorts of poorly-explained nonsense at the viewer fast enough for them not to notice. The phrase "if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit" springs to mind.

Not worth my valuable time, that's for sure. You would first need to demonstrate either of those are incorrect views. As of yet you're just trying to say "You are wrong about X because you are wrong about Y," with neither actually shown to be true. That's a fallacy.

Come on, actually stand behind your insults. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| I find it absolutely crazy that as soon as I hear Milo's voice, I'm like "yeah that's Tanjiro's voice actor" no hesitation whatsoever, such a familiar voice. |
  Arteta's Tricky Reds!   |
| Damn Ishigami is Bisco's VA this cast is stacked! |
| Arteta's Tricky Reds! |
| An interesting if somewhat confusing first episode. Nothing wrong with a non-linear approach like this, but I hope it's not the approach for the entire show as it's not the easiest to follow; in this case, it seems that Bisco's border crossing happened before anything we've seen with Panda so far and that he'd made it into the city somewhere between Panda's two visits to the manjuu seller, and I'm guessing that Bisco's arrival in Panda's apartment comes after a confrontation with Pawoo, given that he probably only just got there as Panda woke up. Still, very curious to see where this goes going forward. |
| That was an odd first episode. I'm still confused with all the mushroom madness but I think I'm gonna like this one. |
| Let there be light... |
| It was an interesting first episode^^ Learning bits about the world, but not too much. I'm looking forward to more episodes |
 |
| Really an interesting start. I can already say that I'm gonna enjoy this anime the most in this season. The only thing that bothered me was how they randomly kept switching from the desert scene to the city scene. That kinda made it confusing. I'm new in hearing Junna sing such heavy song but it goes with this anime really well. Love the ost. |
| Can't say I'm a fan how the show is handling the story swapping from one point to another and back and forth. Seems a bit... pointless. Seeing the preview from the next episode it seems to still be doing so. I didn't have any expectations from this show and honestly, I still don't know what to think of it. |
| I’m glad I decided to picked this one up, I found this to be very awesome, a lot of it was very unique and it gave me vibes of some over the top shows we’ve gotten before, tho it isn’t quite over the top yet, just very out there and honestly I love it. We’re just thrown into this world with little explanation and left to guess what’s happening with the context clues we’re getting, minus a few explanations. I’m also loving the character designs, waifus are hot so far lol, and that OP at the end was awesome. Definitely glad I ended up picking this up, I look forward to understanding why mushrooms are outlawed lol. |
| First off damn this new studio kicking ass, animation was on point. The music is really good too. Got so many questions on why the mushroom but I'm sure we will find out soon enough. Also wonder why the sister wants the mushroom eater so much. Looking forward to this anime it looks fun and good. |
 |
| Looks like everything based on Mushroom, mushroom destroyed city, mushroom creates rust disease, also mushroom can be use to treat the disease, lets watch and see..... |
