| It's a lot different than how I remember it was in the Light Novel. Lots of anime original stuff. And Shadow's evil laugh (which is anime original) was good. Personally, I think light novel Shadow is better because he gives of more mysterious vibe. But I still loved this episode. I rate this show 10/10. |

| Now that's how to pull off an atomic prank, xD. Absolutely devastated the Princess, jeez. I was a little surprised to see her get this angry at the sight of Shadow though, I know it'd been building but for it to have reached such a stage was not something I expected. What a one-sided battle, good lord! I'm not the biggest fan of landslide OP MCs but Cid's constant attempt to remain in the background for the most bit or go all-out like this rarely created a fairly fun watching experience. Alpha could've seriously been the best girl of the season if not for her limited screen time, I'd a feeling when this show started. I remember being pretty excited seeing the first few episodes but my hype sort of died down along the way, but I'll still give it a fine rating though. The use of the white filter during some of the most intense action sequences reminded me of Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry. Really leaves an impression behind, I hope more shows would do the same. 20 episodes, and it really feels like the kind of show that'd be popular in Japan, so why not a 2nd season? Would definitely watch, just to see Cid and his yandere sister, lol. |

I think you just don't get the show which is understandable, you can easily find posts about not understanding the story in every weekly discussion. As someone who followed the story since "I am taepodong", the anime is indeed quite confusing if you don't fully pay attention, moreover they also loves throwing details for LN readers. an example : I doubt many people here realizes that the monster girl from episode 5 actually the daughter of villain from episode 3 i guess i just gotta keep in mind that i've kinda seen everything including most isekai and just let people who have seen far less enjoy the show to the max lol so ill shut up lol |

AnimeVibes_YT1 said: anime version of "I am atomic" is more like nuclear fusion reaction from the pinkish purple color (it was deep blue purple in the LN) to "barrier" thingy which function like magnetic confinement. also shadow nuked the sky to make storm go awayThe biggest disappointment about this episode is that he didn't actually go thermonuclear this time. |

| Holy shit that was the best episode in this anime. The animation and how he rolled both Iris and Beatrix, thats what you say a good ending. Will definitely watch season 2 7/10 |
| I am really sceptic about how the whole city was covered in range. I mean it's already broken but it still give goosebumps but covered the whole city and how he laughed made it seem shallow as if they were trying to do something which can be as cool as "I AM ATOMIC" but were too desperate. I mean, I absolutely loved everything else about this show and especially this episode, it was quite an treat but it's just that peculiar part which felt not like him. I didn't got any goosebumps and anything like how I got it every time, the moment he he fights, especially that. I am ranting but considering how good they made it even if they deviated from manga, I know it's based on LN but I absolutely loved the manga and did not read but heard it's even better. I apologise since I am not able to get my point across and it is coming out as ranting but yeah! Also, I hope they announce second season since I loved this anime the most considering everything it aired around, aside from Bluelock although I incline more towards this. Overall 9 | Story 8 | Animation 8 | Sound 9 | Enjoyment 10 |

| Sad its gone :( WE NEED A SEASON 2 |
 |
| Strong Ending for Season 1 Looking Forward to Season 2 in the coming years... ;-; |

| I enjoyed this way more than I thought. The "engrish" scenes are very funny. I am Atomic. 7/10 |

| Deym. What an incredible fight scene. They just leveled buildings. Iris just going mad on Shadow. I kinda feel bad for rose, that even that burger that is attached to Cid is gone. Definitely a fun show. |

| Great fighting between Shadow, Iris, and Beatrix. Even though it was one sided it was still entertaining to watch. While Iris may think that Shadow is a bad guy I'm not quite sure why Beatrix fought other than for sport and maybe to help out Iris. Speaking of Beatrix, her and and Alpha never met, I wonder if they even knew or sensed that they were in close proximity to each other and if their meeting would've been friendly or hostile? Beatrix did keep the wrapper that she got from Cid so maybe they will meet again down the road. Speaking of wrapper, poor Rose with having to lose everything including her memento from Cid. She lost her father too so I hope she meets Cid/Shadow soon again and that her sacrifices are worth it in the end. I think Rose was the best girl but it was not easy choice to make. The pink haired girl was Sherry right? Guessing she'll be back seeking revenge but it's too bad she misunderstood what happened and that her father was a villain. There are so many other characters (girls) in this show like Alexia, Claire, the numerous Greek letter girls like Epsilon, Gamma, etc. that it's easy to get overwhelmed but I think most of them had decent screen time. I understand that Claire will get more screen-time in the future. The ending definitely left things open so I feel confident a season 2 will be announced at some point, hopefully soon. Overall I give this a 9/10 for providing great entertainment, intriguing characters, great comedy, action, drama, and suspense. |
| have you ever seen an anime like this? where you can tell that the studio did everything for you to enjoy the show? that they worked their asses off out of respect for the audience. I'm seriously impressed this time. |
