| Thank god there's not censorship. Not sure about the OST tho, why dubstep? oh, and the ED was cool, love it. |
 |
| As soon as I heard that Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas OP I knew it was going to be fucking awesome, and it was. LOVED IT, it far surpassed my expectations. |

| Wew they changed the way it starts. Also two new scenes that i don't remember seeing in the manga were added. Unfortunately the music background in the pv did not play much during the episode arrrgh dubstep. And Migis voice does not sound better than the one in the movie. In all it was okay. Hype this. |

| Madhouse did a splendid job. The animation is good and love the opening but didn't like the dubstep. The dog scene was pretty creepy. Some of the scenes were unnecessary like the boob grab. I sure hope they stop doing that. |
| Anime and Dubstep. This is the next stage of entertainment. |
| Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas OP <33 Dubstep is slowly creeping into anime OST. Not sure if i like that lol That was a very satisfying episode |
| Is it just me or does he seem to be forgetting stuff and changing? First forgetting that he requested no eggs and Bacon then forgetting he was always afraid of bugs? It's like he's forgetting some minor things about his personality bit by bit? |

| Beautifully animated despite some bad 3D at the beginning. Finally a mature anime that doesn't pander with "cuteness" and moe. So far it's excellent, hopefully it'll be good all the way through. lol dubstep |
| I dislike cuteness, moe, lolis, romance, romantic comedies, slice of life, ecchi, harem, waifus and fan-service. |
| After watching the opening again I feel like preparing myself for the feels in the future episodes ;_; |
| As a manga reader I was wary about this anime version, but once more Madhouse delivers a quality adaption. They updated the look and technology a bit, and switched stuff around (his meeting with his Parasite is now a flashback) but it's all very well done. And NO stupid censorship. If you have a quality product you expect it to sell due to it's qualities and not because people will want to buy and see it 'uncensored' The only thing that I found a bit meh was the OST. But it didn't deduct from my enjoyment. |

| And people thing one scene in cross ange is disturping :P It´s like looking at the animeversion of the movie "the thing" |
| Really liked this first ep. Yeah, you probably wouldn't be afraid of bugs anymore if a part of your body was taken over by a thing that looked like that. |
| damn disgusting but great to watch. no censorship is a massive plus with all the censored shows lately. |
| It's like Tokyo Ghoul but intensely creepy. |
 |
| And people think Cross Ange was disturbing. It´s like watch the anime version of the movie "the thing" |
| Madhouse adapting it nicely, although the choice of song for the OP could have been something different, in my opinion. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |

| Oh man. They're doing it. So hype. |
| Best start of fall so far. I love the thing that it is uncensored. Definitely looking forward to next episodes. |
| Freaky anime. When I saw the trailer I knew it was gonna be pretty crazy but they really glad it didn't disappoint. The talking occasionally uncontrollable hand was pretty funny and will probably be great for future laughs. Can't wait to see how this pans out. |
| Freaky anime. The trailer looked good and the first episode delivered without disappointing. Having a talking hand looks like it added some creepiness and additional comedy as well. Can't wait to see where they take this. |
| I hated the OST, particularly dubstep, so much that I could not enjoy the episode. I actually like dubstep but it was pretty out of place. That's a shame. I did not feel the tension like I got from the manga because of that. I liked the character designs, the animation and the direction though. Hope I can get used to it, otherwise it'll be tough for me to focus on what's going on rather than what the heck I am listening to?! |

| Dope first ep. I like the horror sci-fi combo and the ed. |
| Fear not. Anime is saved. Based Madhouse. what can i say. i loved the episode. it was amazing.

| I dislike cuteness, moe, lolis, romance, romantic comedies, slice of life, ecchi, harem, waifus and fan-service. |
| Solid first episode. I feel MC-kun is a bit boring right now, but that's why development exists. Guess I got another series for the season. |
| Loved the ost |
| Wow it's so damn bad -.- How can I be the only one that dares to say that. All of those unnecessary changes from the anime and they skip way too much. Instead of his hand acting up and crushing the chalk that his teacher throws at him. He just sits there and he grabs a person's breast as a replacement for that scene. He's scared of insects for some reason, while he is not in the manga and the list goes on. 4/10 so far. |
| This is better than I expected, I don't really mind dubstep but it was very oddly placed, it didn't make much sense to have it there. I do love the OP and I am glad the show was not censored. |
| First off, that OP was fucking trash. That band is garbage. They tried to make the whole invasion and the presence of Migi a 'mystery' by telling everything out of order. It flopped because there was no real pay off, the reveal happened casually within a dream/flashback sequence and viewers already knew what was happening. Besides this slip up, the pacing was decent afterwards. I am also surprised that there was fairly no censorship within the first episode. It obviously will come later on in later episodes though. The breast grab was completely unnecessary, nothing was gained from it, I'm pretty sure eechi loving trash didn't even care for it. The key animation was brilliant. The animators put a lot of care into give Migi characterization just from it's movement. The CG background characters do bother me, it seems to becoming a more common thing in anime. If more CG B-shots means more well done key animation, I guess I can tolerate it. Overall, it was a decent first episode. With 24 episodes I'm sure they can make a decent series, and hopefully fix up that rushed ending from the manga. |

| Promising start. I'll be picking the manga up later this week. Not really a huge fan of the dubstep, but oh well. |
| DAMN, that was a amazing first episode, no censorship, J metal OP!!!! and the beautiful ending son. Madhouse You have done it AGAIN :D 9/10 first episode, this is my favorite anime for this season yet. <33333 |
 |
| Woah. It was creepy and uh, gross as some parts, but I liked it. Looking at the OP, Shinichi seems to change sooner or later. I was like, is that guy at the end of the the OP the same dude as the one with the glasses...? And the thing that people are calling Migi is kind of funny. Shinichi and Migi's interactions are amusing. Hmm and wondering what's up with Shinichi's mother's hand. It looks like a scar from a burn or something :o And was that Miura Daichi for the ED? Was a pretty and relaxing song. |
| Welcome to the party Durbikins! :) |

If more CG B-shots means more well done key animation, I guess I can tolerate it. I actually loved the OP myself. Sure the song isn't the best but the visual effects were stunning. They didn't try to make it a mystery at all, it's just their form of storytelling. They show all this weird stuff happening to this normal kid, mentioning things that occurred that we didn't see at the moment then in the dream sequence it explains what went on the night before. It wasn't really meant to be mysterious. It was build up, not a mystery. Build up to him discovering what is wrong with his hand. As for the boob grab, it's fine, it was also build up and it wasn't put there for comedy or fan service, the slap was maybe for comedy but not the breast grab. They clearly showed it wasn't part of his actual character and that it was foreshadowing to something being wrong with his hand. The payoff wasn't seeing the flashback to him getting the parasyte in his hand, the pay off was him stopping the car with his bare hand and seeing the eyeball on his hand. |
| This was really good, definitely one of my favourites this season. The OP is really good in my opinion. And yay for no censorship! |
