| Already people are saying they are going to drop it before they give it a bit more of a chance...ok sure even i would admit it had not the best premiere so far but cmon you can give it a few more eps before you make a decision. for example Re:zero had a generic start but a couple of episodes later it skyrocketed trought the roof..im just saying. |
| That was better than I expected |
 |
| This anime is already a train wreck of over-used cliches, bad animation and annoying, stereotypical characters. Fuck, how can someone make an anime this disappointing? I would not put in a single penny into developing this any further, kill the termite before it multiplies |
| Ah, now I remember this, read a little of it a ways back. Nice to see a male protagonist that can actually defend himself before gaining powers. Also realy nice to hand to hand combat that is animated nicely. Too bad this shows probably gonna be more superpowery later though. |
| The anime is just as disappointing as the manga is I see. Not even sure why I gave this a chance after dropping the manga but oh well. |
 |
| consensus of this topic is yall watch a lot of trash thats why this is generic to you i rarely see this type of japanese cartoon and it interest me shame it seems like shonen power up mc garbage |
| The plot is probably not gonna be great but the fight are amazing ! |
| Yeah, after something that beautiful like Flying Witch, it was only natural that next series will be looking rather bad. Maybe not characters, but CG Backgrounds were awfully bad and super ugly. Even Rewrite looks better than this. Yep, it looks MUCH worse than Rewrite, so I need to say sorry to 8bit. Actually this is one of the most ugly things which I've seen in last years. Oh, I forgot, Amanchu is from JC Staff too, trailer was beautiful, so I hope that they focused rather on Amanchu than this generic action show. Plot? Not something which I want to watch. But it was only 1st episode, let see how it will be next week. For now there is nothing which could keep me watching it. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I see nothing new here. Idk. Too generic? I think. The brown haired girl is kinda annoying... Well, at least the main character has a good reason to be strong, unlike other times when they are the 'stronger in town' for no fvcking reason. We'll see. |
| amazing fired episode |
| I was only going to watch this show because of me meeting Chika Anzai (the voice of childhood friend in person) in person... but now I am going to stay until the end. Really love the CQC animation. It might have generic elements, but I really think it is animated well. He has an ability similar to Ageha from Psyren, and that power looks like a black Rasengan. I can't wait to hear more stupid unique names like Bluesy Fluesy and Justice. |

| The action scenes will keep me watching. |
| Quantum mechanics in the ED. Instant 10/10. |
| Do u guys think there will be a romance subplot in this show? |
| Pretty interesting so far, despite its edgy name. Good fighting scenes and pretty good visuals. 7.5/10 to stay safe... |
 |
| I dislike protagonist-kun's hair, nuff said. 4/5 first Ep |
   <------ Bumble is sexy don't try to deny it ;3 |
| Wow, this show is as underwhelming as the manga was 7 years ago. I might end up watching this only because i want to see how it compares to the manga, there is really nothing noteworthy for this show to deem it worth my time. 3/5, like everything else JC Staff does. |
| Signatures Suck |
| Story seems like it's gonna be pretty average, but I liked the characters at least. |
    |
| Time to bring out the cliche checklist.Totally predictable not as bad for a first episode but nothing spectacular either. |

| Should kill him while he's unconscious before he does anything bad with it. If MC didn't summon that ball, he would've been dead and he would have deserved it since he thought so highly of himself. Animation was good, story not so much, seems like one of those hunting bad guys show with a typical heroine in distress thrown in there later on. |

| Great first episode and the comedic moments were hilarious. Can't wait for more. |
| ...I always believe in subjectivity over objectivity. |
| This was really good, I knew really little about this series but I am pleasantly surprised. I am interested in where this story goes. Got the generic childhood friend with huge Boobs, she's just missing glasses to fit the mold perfectly. I love childhood friend characters so she's perfect, hell she's even got an attitude too and a red-headed. I was looking for some more good action flicks to follow, spring didn't have what I was looking for. This looks like it can fill the gap. Izzy is a good character, funny and can fight. |
 |
| Plot is nothing special and I thought they were playing with the angles a wee bit much, but damn I love the action and hand-to-hand. It's well choreographed and really nice to see everyone a fighter. All the girls are muscular too except the loli in the ED it seems, so I'm looking forward to them fighting! Skimmed the first manga chapter. Theodore went from a guy who looks like a punk --> looks like a government agent lol. Otherwise looks like a 100% adaptation, with his power looking more severe than in the manga. |

| that was really good |
 |
| generic and cliched to the max but I still think this will be enjoyable |

| had zero expectations for this thought it was gonna be another shitty LN adaptation, trying to stay away from being overly hard on this since it could turn out decent or bad but if nothing else the MC seems alright and the fights are interesting to watch. but obligatory Why no Index season 3 still J.C Staff?! |
 |
| Pretty generic but not bad at all ! But the comedy is pretty fucking bad so far. The OP sounds like something nano would sing ! + holy shit Tomokazu Sugita is in it |

STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| The whole tattoo concept is pretty lame. Some nice animation in the hand to hand combat. |
 |
| I think this looks pretty sweet. Wasn't really sure what to expect, but I think it will be a good one. |
 |
| JC Staff has churned out some of the most popular and all-time favorite anime in the 21st century especially in the romance/fantasy/comedy genre. I cringe at the haters. |
| http://www.youtube.com/swiftstylez - My AMV's. I would really appreciate any comments and ratings :] |
| i fucking LOVE 1/2 serious 1/2 comedy comedy + sexy + death = win this gon be my show xD |
   |
| While the manga is fine in its own right, I think I'm enjoying the anime a lot more so far |
| The overall feel of the show somehow reminded me of the start of Toaru no Majutsu no Index. Thought Seigi here just got his power whether Touma had it from the get go - anyway, same thing! Nice fight scenes, decent female lead, childhood friend doesn't seem so annoying(so far). Naturally, will continue watching. |
| first scene is late for school with bread on mouth. Just so happens to get hit by an obvious soon to be important main char. haha he got hit so funny lets all laugh xDDD Big tittied childhood friend wants his dick, never seen this before. Outside of one cgi scene, why is there no one outside. The city already looks generic and boring but it being a wasteland just makes it stand out more. Why do people think abruptly switching to moeshit artstyle is a good idea. at least the fights were good |
| tattoos with super natural powers... then you have the male MC. who was already strong and now gets even more stronger |
 |
| Wow, It's been a while since I watched a decent martial arts oriented anime with cool animation. Comedy's OK. Has ecchi but not too much. If they're consistent with their fight scenes then I'll stick to it. Well I won't get my hopes up with the plot though, just the animation. NOTE: His hair reminds me of Prison School without the Glasses XD  |

| Alright, the second on my highly anticipated shows list has dropped and boy did they do well for this. The episode was just as I remembered it from the manga, but with the battle scenes animated, we're getting a much better feel for how much the tattoos power up the individuals. To be honest, I don't remember Izzie being this cheeky from the first chapter, but that in itself isn't a bad thing. Seigi is exactly what I remember of him (though recent chapters have him even more badass than this... can you imagine?). After seeing the OP and ED, I can tell that they are either going to rush the hell out of this show, or this will be at least 2 cour. That said, seeing a certain character being so perky now just tugs my heartstrings... Icryeverytime.... Cannot wait till Aryabahta shows up though. That's when the main story really begins. One minor complaint is probably that they censored the gruesome body near the end. Given how mature some of the later scenes are, I guess it's understandable, but compared to those, this one was relatively tame. |

| Totally awesome Love it |
| "I lost all of what you could call feelings of love. They weren't sealed, so they can't be released. They weren't broken, so they can't be fixed. That which is lost, cannot be recovered." Shiba Tatsuya "There are no regrets. If one can be proud of one's life, one should not wish for another chance." Saber "No matter what happens, no matter how crazy things get, I'll always try to restore balance." Korra "It's madness to let others take what's yours and accept it blindly." Baatar Jr "Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong." Zaheer "Partner in crime, partner in time" Chloe Price and Max Caulfield |
| another anime with annoying heroine..meh.. |
| The Void Maker is pretty awesome !! |
 |
| I dropped the manga at chapter 23, let's see if the anime will last that long |
 |
| Looks good so far. It'll quench my thirst for Dragons Rioting for the moment. |
