| Ok, I like this a little better than Gachiakuta because anything that involves Demons and Swords is a huge plus for me. Sure it may feel like a typical Shonen action anime, but that doesn't mean it can still be entertaining if the plot and characters are good. |
 |
| Yeah... No, I'm not feeling attached to this series, Gachiakuta is the series that may rival Tougen Anki and that one is way better. If I'm stick watching this is just for the opening song of The Oral Cigarettes. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| It’s like I watched blue exorcist anime but the devil is not blue instead of red lol but I’ll keep watching |
| That's the most generic first episode I've seen recently. Looks like a combination of Ao no Exorcist and some other "half-demon MC" shounen series. Not to mention the CGI ruined the action scenes. The side characters look interesting though, so I think I'm still gonna watch the next episode. |

| I really like the manga, but this 3D bothered me a little, even using cell shading to mask it, I hope the main fights aren't like this |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| First episode was near identical to Blue Exorcists. |

Reply to Alex_the_reaper
was the cgi rly necessary to save up 3 seconds of animation?
| @Alex_the_reaper yeah that was very odd to me, could've just not included it at all and no one would notice. Do these animators think the average viewer doesn't see cg amongst the 2d animation? |
| Looks generic, but this is not a bad thing. I liked the fight, and I found the Oni transformation pretty cool. I'll probably keep watching, at least the first three episodes, and decide if I'll keep watching later |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| So generic that it's funny a bit. Feels like I watched random mix of popular shounens from 201x. At least this show has one cool idea: blood guns as weapons. Not sure that it wasn't used somewhere before (deadman wonderland?) |

| The concept of this anime is very cool. I was looking forward to this. The first episode was decent. I feel like it moved too fast but eh, not a big deal. I’ll be waiting for episode 2. |
| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
| The animation was good and the fight, which was pretty much the entire episode, was excellent. But what is lacking is a reason to care what happens to the protag, hopefully they take steps to rectifying that next episode. |
| I saw something about this at anime expo and it looked cool, so I decided to check it out. Was expecting something in the vein of Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Tokyo Ghoul, etc, but maybe less noteworthy. It overall was a bit too fast-paced and felt like it was going down a checklist of what makes a modern shounen, but I don't mind as long as it's decently well-executed and fun to watch. |

| very average it's hard to like this since the mc is an asshole |
| Bad animation and bad story |
| I agree with what the majority have said here that this is very generic and overused. I immediately thought of Blue Exorcist too. The CGI was kinda cool. It did get me good when that rando rolled up on his skates. XD I'll watch some more and see how it goes. |

| They couldn't find an alternative visual for that black shit? Looks ugly af. |
 |
the fight scenes were INSANELY good, i loved how everything flowed so smoothly. the way they introduce the other onis in the ending song was so aesthetically pleasing to watch, can't wait to see them in the coming episodes. |
that one is dear to me who runs not after the pleasant or away from the painful, grieves not, lusts not, but lets things come and go as they happen. |

| @renzospark It certainly was generic. |
| Another dark edgy shounen with a really fast pacing, I much preferred if the story stayed a bit in the liquor shop and we saw their interactions more while also getting to know them. |
| THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!! |
| Reminds me of Deadman Wonderland... |
 |
| Did he marry an Oni woman? Hmm... Can't wait to see the background of the story. |

Honestly can't the author come up with even little bit original plot compared to generic shonen crap Gachiakuta actually did well in this regard. I bet next arc will be school arc where MC will be ostracised but eventually accepted by everyone
| @Abomination_suah You know Tougen Anki manga is 2 years older than Gachiakuta? You know Kill la Kill did it 10 years ago? You know Lion King did it 31 years ago? You know Hamlet did it 500 years ago? |

| Lol everyone is right. This is a stereotypical anime. I'll continue to watch it but everyone hyped this up too much. I literally added it to my FAL bc it was hyped so much on instagram lmao The fighting was cool though! I don't understand how he owned so many guns while in Japan. What I found funny was that when he transformed he had guns lol The OP was pretty good! |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| Idk, an old man calling an old man senpai is weird and cringe to me, and I couldn't help but think of Don Momotaro and Oni Sister throughout the whole thing lmao Wish they used the same art style they used in the opening for the whole thing. |
