Very interesting episode, not really liking the girl, but those 2 guys are something. We shall see if the next episodes can keep up

I wasn't planning on watching this series, but I'm glad I checked out the first episode because I was pleasantly surprised. I'm loving the amazing animation and the main characters are pretty awesome, it's nice to hear Kitamura Eri in a main role since it seems like she's not in much nowadays. The switch in tones was very well done and she did a good job in the emotional parts.

This series has potential, I am very much looking forward to it.

This would probably be my top series of the season. Really enjoyed the introduction and the concept they're going to develop. Fun fact I always been a supporter of Doronjo when watching the original series.

I really fon't know what to think of this. I didn't really enjoy this episode, but I still have high expectations for this anime.

The death scene was rather sad. :( It almost had me crying. The animation is pretty good too. I want an Oda-sama for my birthday, please.

I feel like I lose a lot of this shows worth if I’m not familiar with the prequels.

Instead of going „wow I want to see heroes as villains” I go „meh quite uninteresting villains”. Where have I seen bad guys oppressing good guys.. or right .. everywhere.. I doubt that the show will tell us much about setting or them as this is quite sequelish. It doesn’t matter that they say they were good, its rather cruel punishment to send baddies to concentration camps.

I think this show is going to be just freshly colored oldschool anime with costumed heroes and laser guns and gorillas going pew pew pew. It seems it will become Samurai Flamenco (with some loli) and I wasn’t too fond of that show

Comedy wasn’t for my taste either as it was cliché as it could be.

And why did the mother tell her daughter the Yatterman peeps were good if she knew they were put in ghetto by them. The mother wasn’t even the first generation so someone brainwashed her too.

Guess it’s not my cup of tea.
I give this meh/10 probably will watch what they will do as heroes in ep2 but most likely will drop this.

at first I was - WTF did they do with funny and goofy Yatterman I used to watch as a kid.
but as it went I started to enjoy it more and more - serious parts were fine, comedy didn't fit from time to time to rest of events (that boat scene especially) but in the end it made me interested.

it feels kind of similar to Zvezda with little girl trying to conquer the world and I'm perfectly fine with it.

Just found the subs -_-;

I thought I shouldn't bother with another horrendous remakeinterpretation after Gatchaman Crowds, but the Yoru's first episode was fantastic, ... minus me wondering wtf I was watching (compared to the 1977 release). The character designs are excellent and the animation was top-notch. Can't say I was that much impressed by the Yatterman duo in the original series, so I think I'll give the story flip a chance.

7/10 for now, 10/10 for the episode.

Dorombo has always been more popular than the Yatterman duo, so it's nice to see them become the protagonists. I like how they're handling the continuity, rather than overwrite the original story.

Pretty good so far, couldn't help laughing out loud at the boat scene, too fast! Hahha!

But really sad to see the mother passes away eventually, even after all that fruitless effort... :'(

I haven't seen the originals, but gonna stick with this remake, for now.

this is even better than i expected since the original yatterman was a comedic series with the same formula over and over, but seeing this one, damn i was shock...

today's generation was being punished by their ancestor's fault... now that's a setting, REVOLUTION!!

but the tone from comedic to serious doesn't balance each other, but hey it's the villain yatterman, I'm already sold....

this show is on my top list, but i'll wait for at least 3 episodes to make a judgement...

4/5

Great start, with Rolling Girls and Junketsu Maria this season's shaping up to be quite unique.

Leopard as Doronjo reminds me of Kate from Zvezda, even their mask is similar.
Not sure if this would be as absurd as Zvezda though..

I've watched the 70's Yatterman and it was awesome. Every time I would cheer on the Dorombo Gang rather than the Yatterman's. The story takes a giant twist, since the Yatterman are the bad guys. I hope they would make this story really decent.

Hopefully all previous titles get translated in english as well; and until that happens, I'm putting this series on hold.

She reminded me of Venera, from World Conquest Zvezda. Same archetype and personalities.

I honestly feel like maybe they should have disabled ratings until the second episode. The first episode was more of a prologue than anything, and I firmly believe the next episode will be much more eventful.

I don't know man.. This felt all over the place. Can't say I really like any of the characters yet. I don't really find the female lead interesting at all which is never a good sign. Guess we can only hope for things to get interesting.

Despite the promising 2 main heroes, I couldn't like the main heroin.
Also the plot interested me at the beginning but by the end of the episode it seemed like a childish super hero story.
I will give it one more chance but most likely I'll drop it.

I had no intention of seeing him, but recommended by a friend, I wanted to start it.
I must say that as the beginning is interesting, and if it carries a profound message.
Seen the concept on which it all began, they could not do better as an adaptation.
This episode part on the right foot, the potential is there, look forward to the next episode.
Very catchy the ending.
