Wow that girl not only had what has to be the most uncomfortable wedgie in the universe, but also a bad case of camel-toe. This wasn't exactly what I was expecting, not the best first episode of the season, and yeah the girl does remind me of Fractale and that's scaring the pants off me. Please... please don't be like Fractale!

couldn't really see too much in the classroom scene besides blood. Would have liked some ripped-off arm or something.
I found Ganta's character really annoying, partially because he looks and acts exactly like Renton in early E7, when he was useless. But I liked Shiro as a killer loli. And ED by Nirgilis is cool too.

Since I never even heard of the manga before, I was a little skeptical at first. But this episode was just awesome and can probably be the best show of the season if it keeps up this pace.

You know - I tried the manga and it DID seem far-fetched. But the directors of the anime seem intent on grounding it in characters...and that's always a clever move. This shows a helluva lot of promise as a pilot, I think.

What can I say? This was my 2nd most anticipated show of the season.

and it did not disappoint.

Nice to see they had a good animation budget for this. Loved every second.

5/5

This season is a huge success.

Been waiting for this for ages. I'm glad it didn't disappoint.
I really like Hanazawa Kana for Shiro- her song was perfect.

It's disappointing they used such heavy censoring, but I can see why they did.

As an avid fan of the manga, this just jumped to the number one spot on my weekly anticipated shows.

A middle school student killed 29 people and on top of that, blowing up a classroom. Yeah right, as if he can do that. I'm shocked they actually believed he is the culprit. I let it slide assuming the court is under control and the mass is manipulated. Though, it's a really lame setting for the plot. I'll watch a couple more episode before deciding to continue to watch it or not.

Um, holy fuck?

Let's see... In the first five minutes some fucking flying dude blows up an entire classroom killing every student except Ganta and throws a decapitated head towards him. Holy shit.

How retarded are the cops though like really. A kid killed a classroom full of 29 students with his bare hands. Yeah right.

The rest is like 3x as fucking crazy. God damn so much going on. Btw I mean all this in a good way. Its just...wow.

Very psychologically traumatizing lol. I think Ganta's name is a reference to Gantz..does anyone else agree?

Awesome. They changed a few scenes but it's still close to the manga.
Kana Hanazawa's voice was very fitting. Ganta's was ED! ROMI PAKU.
The censors were sorta annoying. I though my player broke down.
ONLY 12 EPISODES? I hope they won't rush it too much.

Um, violence? Yes. Sex? What? What part exactly dealt with any matter involving sex? The only part I recall was when that fake Ganta was talking to that corrupted lawyer about Mimi. That was the only thing. Maybe you have watched a crappy sub or overexaggerated?

Poor Edward Elric Ganta.

But seriously, how can the family of his classmates can believe that a single normal student could kill 29 of his classmates and blow up their entire room is beyond me.

Well, besides that, I think this is the best first episode of the season that I've seen so far.

Looks awesome, hope it has some nice twists to it.

The only wtf moment i had was, how do you charge a 14 year old over mass murder of 29 fcking people, destruction of a classroom and not have any solid evidence then sentence him to death, wow.The kid would be dead himself before he could get through even 2 people.

But w/e, there's no logic to it, show's gonna be awesome either way.

Yeah that was my first thought. Also I don't see how some kind of weapon could tear a whole classroom apart without an explosion.

Very nice start to this Anime! I have just barely started reading the Manga, so I cannot say if it's exactly a good start in "canon" terms. But, definitely the first best first episode so far this season that I've seen! (Still waiting for Ao No Exorcist's first episode to air) :3

Anyways, yes - it's completely idiotic that Ganta has been charged for mass murder. I mean, even by some court policies that seems just unlikely and unimaginable. However, I'm sure that it will all be clear in the end of the series and or Manga. So, yeah.

And, this Anime looks amazing! The budget is high which means AMAZINGNESS. And, when Ganta 'activated' (?) the jewel in his chest was the best part in my opinion. Also, music seems awesome so far. And, finally, a short series means no fillers. BONUS~

So, definitely looking forward to the rest of the series ♥

This is the dumbest shit I've ever read and this is the dumbest shit I'll ever see. It's incredibly badly written, the scenario is fucking stupid, the characters are ridiculous... it's just insultingly bad, how the fuck could someone watch and like that piece of shit without being ashamed of himself ?! The show is like an insult to your intelligence.
There are not enough words to describe how bad and retarded it is...

What the fuck Manglobe, seriously.

Wow haters from the first episode. Yep this show is on the right path. ^_^

Anyways to the episode. A VERY strong start for the series and this is coming from a manga reader. While censored it was in a way that made the scene more gritty. Yes it was dark but you could still make out the shapes and blood and those who missed the head getting tossed at Ganta need to get their eyes checked >_>

Given that they've shown a moment with Karako eating her Candy and that I see Nagi has a VA,

They sentence 14-year-old kids to death in Japan?
There wasn't any hard evidence and he's clearly not sane even if he did do it.

Other than that, this was pretty good. Didn't expect something so dark.

I really liked how it has started off so far. The censoring wasn't as harsh as other anime so thats good, and when they convicted Ganta, it had much more of an impact than the manga. Can't wait for the next episodes.

Haven't read the manga so I started the series without any 'comparative base'. Deadman Wonderland started off as a very interesting series, I'm going to follow this surely. It actually turned out to be better than I was expecting. The set-up 'everybody believes one boy killed 29 classmates' is a bit unbelievable, but it doesn't really bother me.

I must say, I really love the animation style and character design. Characters seem to be fascinating. Makina's attitude was something I was looking for!
I kind of like Shiro but I hope she doesn't make atmosphere too light-hearted... (since I'm hoping DW would turn out pretty dark series.)

I like the hints they give us in the ending, I hope for a complete adaption despite the fact that 13 episodes seem kind of short to me. Oh well, there's still the OVA.

About the episode: Censoring was to be expected, yet I liked the voices and the soundtrack of the series. Animation was good, the slight altering of some scenes is ok, too. Overall a good first episode.

I was expecting censorship in this anime, but as long as it follows the manga events it will be alright. Also I noticed that in the anime they said that Tokyo was destroyed by an abnormal phenomenon called Dead Hole, whereas in the manga, it was destroyed by a high-magnitude earthquake. Seems like they changed this due to the recent earthquakes.

It was drawn the way it was supposed to be drawn. It was the same way in the manga, and I'm glad they didn't opt for politically correctness in Shiro's character design since that bodes well for the rest of the series.
