----------------------------------------
Great OP song, pretty catchy if you ask me. The episode had eh...more still scenes than I had thought. Animation is so-so I guess, not that I was expecting much.

Overall, a decent episode since it introduced the main concept and characters. Yuuma's kinda an interesting character. Very straightforward kid. They will probably get to the more important stuff later but I think the first episode had a decent setup. Those bullies underestimated Yuuma. The fight is alright I suppose but Yuuma is awesome.

Let’s say you drink too much strawberry milk, and have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. You don’t want to get up, but the urge to urinate is just too strong! You run to the bathroom, stand in front of the toilet, and let loose! You think that all your life has led to this moment! YOU'RE STILL IN BED! That feeling of lukewarm wetness spreads! But you can’t stop! THAT’S THE TRUTH OF THE STRAWBERRY MILK! DO YOU GET IT? ~ Gintoki

Well, I have to say, this was more interesting than I was originally expecting. The characters are at least pretty interesting. Yuuma's reactions to everything are just great--short and simple, haha. So I suppose I'm gonna be looking forward to seeing this show each week now, unless something goes wrong.

OP was short (probably because it's just first ep.? Because there's no ED), but great.

KajiKaji's character was saved by Nakamura-san's character so he joined, but still too weak. He met that short guy (transfer student) who is also uses the power, but from a place called Naver.

There's a short preview-ish part with chibi form of them, which were so cute.

Seems interesting enough for now. It'll be nice if the white haired kid gets some good development over the course of his stay in the human realm.

Only critique is once again Kaji's voice. Can he not change it? It's like he's getting paid to just talk. It kind of takes you out of character immersion

Feels extremely average. The setting was average. The animation was mediocre, as expected of Toei. Disliked the seiyuu performance, which is the first time I've had this problem I believe. The OP theme song is catchy, but very forgettable and unappealing.

I really don't know what to make out of this. Can a manga reader enlighten me if there will be some redeeming traits further in, or am I just watching the wrong anime?

Yuma looks so much like Near from Death Note. Even their attitudes are quite similar, except Yuma is agile and makes this baby face often. XD

Them bullies picked on the wrong guy. That paper-ball went like a bullet! He even owned the guy outside once again. Totally wrong target.

Osamu seems to be the ideal type of character; saving people in need regardless of their misdeed(s).
Tbh, I expected him to be strong since he has a Trigger. Hopefully, he'll become a badass over time.

Yuma being a Neighbor wasn't much of a surprise, given his superior skills with Trigger. But I think he meant as in he's not a monster Neighbor but rather the ones who suppresses them.

I wonder why exactly the Gate opened all of a sudden to begin with. Perhaps, they'll explain it later on?

Decent start. Though I really wished another studio than Toei adapted this. The story is quite interesting but the animation isn't quite suiting.

This was pretty meh imo. The animation, art, characters were all so mediocre. Sad cause the whole trigger on looks pretty cool. I doubt that I will be sticking for the long run.

The crap animation and art, the weird narration, the stills, the bad CG..... was this made in like 2000? It seriously looked like an anime from the 00's most of the time. Also the setting is very cliché and the main character is already annoying. The names of the stuff are kind of dumb, too....
Not expecting much anymore but I'll give it another shot.

haha holy shit I couldn't stop laughing at the art and animation. You could even tell that they skipped in-between frames during some scenes; it was blatant! Not only that, it was a boring first episode. Which didn't help matters.

It's perfectly understandable, though, since Toei is obviously overextending themselves. After all, their high quality work on Sailor Moon Crystal must be taking a toll on them. 2 episodes a month is a very strict schedule.

That time slot usually without an ED? I'm also convinced that may be the full TV Size ver. of the OP.

As an adaptation it is much better. Terra Formars is rushed as hell. Sure the animation is better....when you can actually see it.

Ohh I like it so far. Yes the animation was ugly and it looks cheap, but I found it pretty interesting. Didn't realize Kaji would be an MC here, but yay :) I like Mikumo and Yuuma. Mikumo's justice type of personality and his seriousness is a good mix. Yuuma is laid-back. They already seem like a nice duo. Will probably go read the manga soon since the first episode was a good hook.

I actually zoned out for a bit during the middle.
The most upbeat thing was the OP then everything else went downhill.

Thought white-haired kid had adorable shota potential but his dumb face is pissing me off.
Will keep watching though.

This was much better than I feared it might be--I'm watching Toei's Dragon Bone so I'm used to their style/quality (or lack thereof) of animation. Will probably end up following it as there were a couple of interesting parts, but the "I come from another dimension so please explain how earth does it." shtick may get old really fast...
Please don't feed the trolls!

I am really disappointed with the episode right now. The manga version was one of the best manga I've ever read, having a decent plot and ranking second only to Hunter x Hunter when it came to battles, and the characters were all interesting as well. However, the anime started off really badly. While the OP was good everything else was lackluster. The animation is particularly bad and the character designs are even worse than the manga. The overall art actually is pretty bad. I don't even know why they made the neighbors 3D or why they put so much effort into the trigger. The space between the dialogue is also awkward as well. I was really drawn in in the manga when Yuma revealed he was a neighbor especially since I expected him to be a border agent but in the anime I couldn't even feel a shred of emotion about the reveal. Overall, this was a poor beginning to the adaption of one of the best recent manga I've seen. I'm hoping right now that it gets better.

The quality worries me a lot though because it has the potential be really great as an anime. I really want it to live up the manga but judging by the first ep I'm not sure if it will which is sad because I'm enjoying the manga a lot at the moment!
