Er, that was okay. There was nothing I really liked about this one.
I will watch the second episode and if it still remains this bad, then I will drop it.

Same feelings over here.
Chances are I'll drop this by episode four or something.

Too many details! My head was literally spinning.

But, this pretty much sums it all up:


7/10 Temporary rating. Too many details for the first episode. Didn't understand a thing about the carbon market or whatever it was called.

That was a tad bit ultra boring but it was a little interesting.

Seriously. I laughed my ass off after Momoko kissed that soldier so he passed out and then s(he) ran towards more soldiers screaming.


Agreed. That was probably my favorite part of the episode. I actually like the opening and ending, but I think the art's going to get to me...Kuniko's hair...I definitely won't drop it though. It reminds me of the whole dystopia avenue, which is pretty cool. Unique, fer sure.

Can't put a definite quote, but I agree with it being a tad bit boring and a little too detailed. Current rating around a 5/10.

First impressions about how this anime begins is simply superb. Animation quality is just what you could expect from GONZO - absolutely perfect. Opening was also well done and worth to be watched again and again. Characters all wery unique and interesting, and as for first episode there are quite a lot of them! And overall things are looking really promissing. And i'm now quite confused, cos' reveiews about this anime is quite negative and one friend who also watched it said it's a crap... o.O But I really really hope it's not complete truth but only a matter of taste. Anyway, i guess i'll find it out soon enough.=]

Interesting, the start was fairly decent, the characters were somewhat unique and well that transvestite sure is something weird but well he has some unique characteristics, either way let's see what that ending was about but that knife surely looked quite important and interesting!

Not sure what to think about this one, I find the premise interesting, and the artwork and animation is astonishingly good for TV anime, but the execution seems to be more and more cliche as the episode goes on, and everything felt rushed, it seems like we had 3 episodes worth of plot development shoved into one episode, hope this isn't representative of the show as a whole.

Jouji Nakata's voice was an unexpected surprise

Interesting setting, but the action at the end was embarrasingly silly.

I have mixed feelings about this, but definitely interesting...
So the story about a post-apocalyptic world where carbon emissions are valuable, the MC is a teenage girl who just got out of prison and is the heir to a groupe called the metal age
Let's see where the story goes from there and hope we get an explication around the way too

The setting is quite interesting: a post-apocalyptic jungle planet on the verge of rebuilding itself, except it's being economically corroded by various parties and international organisations who are manipulating the "monetised carbon" market entirely for their own ends. Considering how many forests there are covering every square inch of the world in this series, they'd be absorbing more than enough carbon to compensate for emission, so it's clear that politician was being screwed over.

On the other hand, I'm not quite sure about the characters; they seem excessively wacky and absent-minded at times. You have two mysterious lolis in high places, a "terrorist" free spirit girl supposedly leading a organisation called Metal Age, her tranny mentor figure who forcefully makes out with their (usually terrified) enemies, an aristocratic woman keeping tabs on the main character and the detention center she was released from, and a reluctant soldier with an artifact dagger of some sorts. No idea how it's going to balance all that.
