| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I haven't seen the original Mahoujin Guru Guru before but this was fun. The RPG style art and the storytelling looks really entertaining. The visual quality looks like older animation but I think works fine for this show. Nike is a fun character introduced so far imo. Somewhat hotblooded but entertaining to watch. I find the comedy to be amusing in this first episode as well. Definitely a keeper for now. Kukuri is also so adorable. |

| I'm biased since I love the series since 15+ years ago, but I loved it. Especially how they expressed it as a 80's game, more than ever before. Is there a nice way to watch it though? I only found a terrible streaming, I'm not used to see anime at the same time as japan. |
| Hysterical, loved it. The art was crazy, made for great comedic moments. |
| The opening is great, far better than expected. (was prepared for the worst) Boering village, or just boring village. Wow the pace is so fast, the game text jokes are almost hard to read before they go away. |

| I wonder how the younger generation would think about this knowing that retro anime back then wasn't all edgy Cowboy Bebop and Akira. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |

| This seems like such a fun and self aware anime that makes me feel like a kid again watching a "typical" adventure with the utmost attention! I loved everything about this! People who had already watched / read this series before, I'm kinda skeptical though on this being nearly half the number of episodes of the original series. This probably won't cover the entire story right? :( |

| Oooooh my, it was so nostalgic! I used to watch the original series everyday on tv, and it was 16 years ago! I can't believe so much time has already passed I was finally able to read the whole manga this past autumn, but this remake came as a big surprise! It's like going back to the 9-year-old me T_T Nostalgik said: People who had already watched / read this series before, I'm kinda skeptical though on this being nearly half the number of episodes of the original series. This probably won't cover the entire story right? :( The first series didn't really follow the manga, it took its own way, if I recall correctly. This one is the right one, the first episode covers the first 4 chapters of the manga! |
Anny said: Oh really? Nice, I just watched the first 2 episodes of the original series and the story advanced much less than in this first episode of the remake. I also noticed that the old series is G-rated while this one is PG-13, and featured that hot lady in black in the market xD Did that appear in the manga? Cuz I'm definitely hyped if this is following the manga well since I love how fast paced the comedy and the adventure feel!The first series didn't really follow the manga, it took its own way, if I recall correctly.

They're trying to make it more appealing to older audiences too, I guess :D |

It feels so innocent and adorable to read through actually :) But yeah it was a nice touch of fanservice I guess xD I seriously am loving this series way more than anticipated *o* |

This probably won't cover the entire story right? :( Actually it was that old series that didn't make it to the end. It was more slow-paced, it had fillers, and at a certain point it was interrupted. So it never reached the end of story like the manga. This series instead is changing some events to have a faster development, so it has more probabilities.

There was a lady tricking nike into buying things, but it definitely wasn't this sexy. Just a normal pretty woman. |
| As a traditional RPG player, this will be my favorite series of the season. Was SO... BEAUTIFUL |
 |
| Loved this anime so far! Kukuri is so cute! |
 |
| So good! It was so fun to watch! Too bad this will probably be a hidden gem. |
| It felt just a tad fast paced. but i like it anyway. |
| Didn't expect Laughing Man. Had no idea this was getting a reboot. Caught only a few episodes of the older version. Feels more frantic than I remember. Still loved everything about this episode. Kukuri is the most adorable thing I've seen in a long time. |

| Sieg Zeon! |
| I watched this shit on TV 15 years ago. definitely my favorite of this season. |
 Nice Laughing Man reference.I loved this. Probably one of the best shows this season. Can't wait for more. |
| I love it , remember the old days |
| BRAWLERS |
| this was hilarious and also cute. i love the whole RPG flair! |
 |
| Ooooh damn, this was great It didn't disappoint! |
| Is this a kids show? Should I bother watching the first episode? |
neonie said: Is this a kids show? Should I bother watching the first episode? Welp, you should try at least the first episode. If you like playing j-rpg you will love it, it's more like a j-rpg parody, if you're a gamer that's awesome, if not, kinda meh I guess since you will not have the references. |

I'll give it a shot, then. |

| I wonder how nowaday people respond to this Well its nice to see this come back [s]even i don't remember much about original/s] |
| Into the Internet! |
| I'm so happy to see this getting a remake. It was one of the first anime I saw when I was a kid, still remember watching it before I had to go to school T_T The comedy is still on point too. |
| Only 2k members is a crime. After i read the manga and watched the anime as a kid is nice to see Nike and Kukuri again. Next episode we will have the kita kita dance, hype. |
 |
| Far better pacing I would say than the old series |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| i really like the rpg style! kukuri is adorable. |

This one is the right one, the first episode covers the first 4 chapters of the manga! Actually the first episodes in the 1994 version followed the manga more than the new one(just check the manga and watch episodes of the 1994 version). They removed many things in the new one. They're obviously speeding up the pace and cutting things here and there, after all they're going to adapt 16 volumes in 24 episodes... And by the way the first series ended 8 years before the manga did... how could it be accurate in any way? I don't recall much of the first series and can't say how much of it stuck to the original, but... |
| I decided to watch this on a whim and I'm glad I did because it was cute and funny. It had a very nostalgic feeling to it, but I guess that's because it's a remake of an older anime. I never watched it, but might after this finishes. |
°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° |
| I've never seen the original animation or read the manga but I really like the lighthearted feeling and old RPG style. This could easily be my favourite anime this season |
| Great episode. I really loved the JRPG elements in this. This might be my favorite anime of the season. |
| Loved all the reference |
