| i dont understand whats going on but the art and CGI were quite good. But if i keep understanding nothing then i will be dropping it :/ |
Kayro said: this was terribly confusing Yeah.. But at least the fights were kinda awesome, and the animation is just epic for a 2005 anime 0.o The ED was nice. |
  |
| 50 seconds into the episode..holy shit, spectacular fight scenes already. Wow. Anyways, pretty intense stuff. I'm not sure if I understood everything that happened but so far, it looks pretty good. |
 |
| On my rewatch, this doesn't seem nearly as nonsensical. I also went through way more Supernatural stuff since I first watched it, and now it seems like a really good piece. I guess the director never intended it for the casual audience. |
|
| That felt like a waste of 30 mins. Hopefully the next ep is better. |
| Bullshit! That was fucking bullshit! But who the fuck cares because THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME (except the slow-mo parts. It's ARISE all over again) So obviously, ep1 shows with action, that there are the usual demons (in this case, youkai) who terrorise the city, and it's up to the hero to cut them down. Though they also live alongside some. Sounds basic enough. So what the actual fuck was hard to understand about that, huh retards |

| Very impressive to be honest, I had to check if the dates were correct as I couldn't believe this was from 2005! Really superb art style and especially the CGI for that time. Really interesting concept and atmosphere as well, let's see what's next! |
 |
| You know, I'm not a huge of the CGI in anime nowadays but seeing as how CGI-heavy some shows in the early 2000s were, I'm genuinely shocked that that isn't the norm for most anime in modern times. As for the episode, I understood nothing. The CGI looked good for the most part but it was so obviously directed like someone with the worst case of Parkinson's was holding the camera because they didn't want to spend too much time looking the CGI. |
| I feel like even if it's only the first episode, there was a better way to set the plot. Because I will concur with the confusing comments. I'm hoping the next episodes will be clearer and clear things up. I'm not that used to CGI but this one doesn't look bad. |
 |
| Simple plot with a great visual presentation (as expected from the great Kenji Nakamura who helmed this episode). The fighting scenes are obviously high quality, I don't mind them. Neutral, I'd say. Certainly can rival modern action productions utilizing CGI, I guess. Though it kinda looks like a cutscene from a videogame lol. |
| Damn, that armor looks badass! I can't ever imagine myself using public restrooms ever. Before I travel, I make sure to take a shit and eat the bare minimum. Action looks cool so far. |
| This was confusing but I think I understand atleast the gist of the plot and what's going on. Seems like there are demons residing in Shinjuku which aren't visible to the naked eye. And this Karas guy, controlled by Yukine is tasked with killing them perhaps. Really loved the over the top action and CG scenes. Tbvh I would like to see even more CG fights in the coming episodes. Let's see how this goes. |
 |
| That's one way to introduce some credits At the start of the episode lol Made me laugh when they randomly showed up |
| Inhales oxygen |
