the animation is beautiful. the way the characters and the backdrop contrasts is so unique as well. however, the opening/ ending isn't my favorite. overall, great first episode. (that teddy bear was really cute >.<

expected it to be in a moderate category, but i think it was between moderate and worst category, the use of this 3d cgi to make the scene look more real was the worst decision from the crew, the monster in the last scene was the worst thing i saw today

Finally watched the 1st episode. I usually get disappointed only when shounen anime is a "wannebe-badass" that still is holding up actual "horror" and "gore" n "cruelty" from it in order to have it aired for a wider audience. And, this episode did not disappoint at all.

Someone above compared to the sh*tty Fireteam series. Well, this first episode luckily was nothing like that series. I'll now check the next one (where's the 3rd? shouldn't that be out as well by now?)

It's got such an interesting plot, and I instantly got into it. At first, it's similar to No. 6 and Astro Boy the movie, but it's more intense. I love the art style, it looks different from the mainstream stuff, and it gives me more vibes. It fits the anime well. The music is also a bagger.

the falling scene was insane and the best part
also this worldbuilding reminds me of one an indie game or show would have not a shounen anime

The beginning... sadge... NA Police in action. (punches the guy that isn't even resisting)

And everyone is braindead... there's no investigation or anything, they literally just pit anything on anyone... (mmm... pun...)

Even his "supposed romantic target" abandoned him without care.

HOLY SHIT...

I want the MC to somehow return by the end and destroy the entire city, especially the "cityfolks" with that massive segregation wall.

There's a ton of potential here for an allegory on material conditions, and I'm hoping Rudo goes from revenge-obsessed to someone who wants to abolish the wealth disparity that caused the slums to be what they are.
I do expect it to go there considering it's studo Bones, and reserve judgment for now.

But dang, there's so much exposition. I'd rather just let the world speak for itself, it's a 2 cour anime after al.

It started out like life, but over time, it became a constant battle. This is a common occurrence in espionage, but bringing it to a children's story isn't a bad thing. It should have ended, especially since they were born into this story. this is like the story in ./hack//liminality where yuki's communication in the world is shutdown.

I was worried the girl was going to die when I saw the officers. Turns out I was worried about the wrong person. They killed off his pops. I love a revenge story that psycho look he got in his eyes, chief's kiss. Interesting world so far, it's an elitist trash-based society with descendants of criminals.

We have alot of themes here, with upper class vs lower, a kid being judged for his father’s actions, and a set up/revenge story.

Not a bad introduction, I’ll keep going to see what the story unfolds

The animation is pretty good, the pacing is painful slow, it was very obvious he was going to send to the Pit but it was really necessary to show him with a potential love interest and wainting revenge against them at the end of the episode? He has no methods to carry his revenge in the first place, please don't be another revenge story.

It reminds me of those "powerpoint slide" shows. I don't know if it's the art or the animation, or the colors. Or a combination of all of these. But imma definitely won't touch this.
