I really liked the first episode. The characters eyes are really weird but everything else was good. The story was kinda confusing.

I liked it I think I understood what was wrong but the thing that annoyed me the most had nothing with the anime the quality the quality was horrid. But I know that there will be a HQ so I will re watch then.

That was pretty interesting. Very confusing, which I appreciate. Well, it's less confusion and more mystery. All the characters seem interesting so far, pretty awesome character designs. Didn't like the background music during the opening fight though. It really sticked out in a bad way.

i am so hyped for this now, this show seems extremely promising. Very unique, had some great music, the plot seems interesting, and seems like its going to have some awesome action. Good chance this will be my favourite this season.

I also had to laugh when i heard the student council president, looks a bit like jade from tales and is same seiyuu :P

Gah! Why does Nakahara Mai-sama have a role in such a boring anime?! Didn't like this episode too much. I'm not dropping it, simply because Mai-sama is voicing Felli but it better improve a bit in the next episodes.

Quite an action packed episode. Not much was explained, but it seemed Lei-Fong had an heroic past. I wonder why he enrolled to the academy as a fresh man... Anyway, I hope it has a good plot but I'm not holding any high expectations...

p.s. this show reminds me of Mai Otome for some reason...

Cool episode, kept me thinking and I was really into it. Pretty confusing but I'm guessing he was raised on that other dome thingy and was a fighter for it since he was little but then decides to leave fighting behind and go to school but gets stuck in the military division. Looks promising. Agreed on the fox kids thing at first lol.

Good first episodes . Gives a lot of fights on an exciting song , powerful attacks and styles ... funny characters ... and a nice drop of mystery on the top :) .

I didn't think it got more average than Yozakura Quartet.


Haha. You know what, I thought EXACTLY that in seeing the first five minutes of this episode. I was trying to remember when was the last time I saw a totally generic shonen with nothing interesting whatsoever, and I recalled Yokazura Quartet (a shame since it's directed by a great director though). Regios is really similar indeed, horrible design, over-generic setting and action scenes, mildly good direction but this shonen feeling that tells you in the hear that it won't ever be good nor well-developped. Instant drop for me, that's probably the worst thing I've seen this year.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

For those of you who did not realize this, the little kid with the sword that you see is the main character as a kid. He is just thinking about his past or dreaming about it. The kid with the silver hair and glasses in the car thing is the current president of the school. It is not hard to figure out. If you pause it near the end when you catch a glimpse of who the kid with the sword is, you see that it is the main character.

From the looks of it, it seems like the main character wants to get away from his past and live as a normal person. That is why he acts the way he does, instead of the past. Also that explains why he has a sudden burst of power for a second in the episode, its because he dose not want people to know how strong he is. He also mentions that he has military experience to the president of the school when he is asked. So that should be enough to make you understand the episode.

Other than that I hope this will be a awesome anime, it already seems like it will be.

I think it will not jump higher than fantasy shounen, but it can be quite good fatasy shounen. It has good animation, really good char design (Jade erm Karyan and his sister ftw ;)) and fine characters. Its not awesome but i like it.

I think it's probably his past, and if so, why did he stop fighting.
I liked first episode, even though I am confused about those flashes.
Lets hope 2nd episode explains things at least a little bit.

And yeah, monster animation was awfull, other animations were average.

I actually found this episode really boring and confusing @_@ With two different stories at the same time. But, I will continue watching this series, perhaps the later episodes become more interesting and understanding.

I don't really know why, but I found this anime intriguing. Since it's from a novel series, I hope the plot will be articulated and the characters developed enough for me to be interested in them. I like the trashy techno music in the fighting scenes XD.

Eh, it's okay. The video quality was killing me, but I caved and downloaded the LQ version anyway.

I must say though, that must be a pretty awesome school if it has random girls coming in to change your clothes like that. I hope it gets a little bit better overall.

I'm mixed on the first episode. The episode was confusing but there does seem to be some potential for this show if it is developed properly. I like the setting and the characters appear to have diverse personalities. Going to give it a few more episodes before deciding on dropping it.

Oh and that song playing during the desert battle is terrible. It sounded like cheesy beat music from DBZ American version.

Im sort of confused by all the action at the beginning and the end of the 1st episode. Besides that, the story began rather smoothly but disappointly ordinary. Didnt expect much from this since every other anime ive seen released this season are a let down.

Very much agree. After watching the first ep I looked around for the opening song! Awesome anime so far. On a side note, anyone who watched this as well as Bleach (after ep 110 ish). Doesn't Savaris
doesn't the voice actor of him and Grimmjaw sound like the same person?
Arashi Kishu: Excuse me, theirs something that I have been meaning to ask you. I remember the first time I met you that you said the same thing then. That you have decided on me.

Sorata Arisugawa: Yup, that's what I said missy. Soon as I layed eyes on you I decided that you were the one.

Arashi: You keep saying "I'm the one" but I don't know what for.

Sorata: The one... i'll sacrifice my life for.

Was pretty good. I certainly didn't like the eye designs, and the pacing could've been better, but other than those, I didn't have any problems with it. Seems like a bit better than Yozakura Quartet to me (which was pretty average.)

Regios has good reviews so I am trying it out; if I was just checking it out without reading any review I wouldn't download the second episode that background music while they are fighting is so freaking annoying.

this is absolutely nothing like the novel :(
it feels like they went out of their way to strip as much of the originality, seriousness, atmosphere out of the series as they could :(
I suppose its ok, but as an adaptation, its a serious letdown

Caught the first episode of this show on Netflix Instant Queue. Was initially under the impression that it was going alright since it almost looked like Blue Gender with very special guest Spike Speigel on the piano wire, but then the high school antics started and I got progressively more bored. Practically all the characters have way too much hair (except for the bald guy obviously).

I don't think I'll watch any more because it looks unoriginal and boring as all hell, but I'll give this show a 3 out of 10 because the 'Contaminoids' lines were so campy they made me laugh.

Meh. A little bland so far, but will give the second episode a go.

Hopefully the show won't be wall to wall monster battles and there will be more time spent developing the characters.

That was a pretty solid first episode, I've had my eyes on this series for months and glad that I finally got around to it. The shift between that fight and the school scenes are a bit confusing though, I wonder if that's the result of the MC joining the military or if it's part of his past. The character designs and premise remind me of Shingeki no Kyojin to a very small degree.
