| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This was an interesting episode. From that catchy OP song to the character cast and colorful world setting, it seems like a show that I think has a lot of potential. The way they introduced the characters so far is interesting, almost all of them stand out in some way or another especially Dakki with her dark intentions. I'm even interested in knowing more about Taikoubou with his character role. Quite interesting for an episode overall. |

Mystearia said: but seeing the OP, does that mean we wont reach choukoumei arc? I highly doubt so, since seeing their previous trailers it seems that they are probably going to end it with the Sennin WW arc... (Especially with all those scenes where Fugen is in it, urgh. ;;) I might be wrong, though. :/ |

It's a separate work from this adaption all together. |

| Not sure if this was a remake or a continuation but it was interesting to say the least....Pacing felt super fast though |
| It felt really rushed, to the point that it looked more like a recap episode. |
| Dakki was a bit more hottest in the previous series. It felt like a rewatch to me only with modern animation, the pacing might be hard for some but I kinda knew already the outcome so it was alright to me. |
| Not sure how to feel about this one yet; think I might end up getting into it after a few more episodes. The premise was understandable enough, but yeah the pacing was super fast. |
| Might just be me but the visuals did not age well imo and honestly don't look good in this modern day HD. Felt like they should have modernized the designs it a bit more. Also FALILV doing the OP feels really out of place with its heavy electronic music. Well, not like I remember much of the original anime, only saw bits and pieces of it as a kid and never touched the manga. |
| I have watched the original series back then and loved it. Still can sing the intro from memory too. I've also went through about 1/3 of the manga. I have to say that so far, I'm quite disappointed with this remake. The OP is... well, noise, basically. Autotune noise, with no connection to the story, no meaning. Throw a stick and it will land on a piece indistinguishable from this OP. (original OP for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFxiv08qBno) The character designs are lacking and flat at worst and somewhat matching original at best (Dakki to illustrate the former and, I guess, Supushan for the latter). Colours look like they were applied in MS Paint though. Plot-wise it seems fine, it was just one ep so hard to say. The only thing I can honestly say was good is the backgrounds, which were really quite nice. Which only served to highlight the chasm between them and the Paint-like quality of characters in the foreground. All and all, at least for now, this remake looks to me rather.. soulless. Compared to the former adaptation that is. |
| I haven't read the manga, but yeah, this episode was pretty rushed, I liked it though. The manga has 23 volumes (204 chapters), so in order to understand story development better, I hope they make 2 seasons to adapt the series. It would be a shame if they're planning to adapt the whole stuff in just 23 episodes. |
| The scenery is really beautiful but... wow the story felt so rushed. oO |
| I like the new character designs, I hope this is a continuation of the last anime. |
| i liked it this first chapter...yes, it was a little rushed, but i suppose for to be more "attractive"!!! :/ |
| Just watched the first episode of Hakyuu Houshin Engi. I would not recommend this anime as of now. Already, the problem I have with this is the pacing. Both are directed in a way that is similar to Magical Circle Guru Guru (2017), except every comedic moment falls very flat. The story progresses as such a rapid speed that it is hard to process what is going on and get a good understanding of the characters. This remake anime of an old Shonen Jump series does not seem to know what it is trying to be. I am probably going to give this a few more episodes to see if the story slows down and gives time to get interesting, but I will likely just read the manga or watch the original anime adaptation. |

| Hell that was rushed. So many plot skips that could've been animated... Some evil villain: "Hey I'm going to execute you and all of your people" -> fighting starts, then five seconds later -> skip to MC waking up from the fight and "Hey I rescued you while dumping your clothes there to make it look like you died, oh and I also made another exact copy of your clothes", why... just why... The setting and the characters looked interesting, but the pacing is stupid. |

| Rushed, yes. But funny and interesting? Also yes. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Soul Hunter was a great series so I have high hopes for this. I agree, so far it's really way too rushed. I do seem to remember it taking awhile for me to get into the original too. |
| damn they crammed 5 episodes worth of storyline into one |
| Goddamn no joke that went fucking hyperspeed. I assume they just wanted to get the party together ASAP. No way they can keep this pace going. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| Just like everyone says, it was too rushed. I suppose they did it that way to make it different from the 1st version. I believe the next 2 or 3 episodes are going to be the same. |
| it's 23 episodes and they rush like it was a 10 episodes serie. Even 10 episodes serie don't rush like that. I read the manga 10 years ago maybe so I was hyped to watch it but I'm really disappointed. |
| It probably doesn't bode well when I would rather follow and root for cruel empress exterminating people for fun instead of the usual loudmouth twat in stupid gloves who is bound to pull some amazing power out of his ass. Have fun riding that moomin, I think I'll pass. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Holy crap this pacing is too much. I read some of this manga way back and liked it but I'm seriously not sure if this adaptation is worth watching. |
| Hopefully the next episode slows down. .... |
| Kinda messy until the raining scene. Hey at least Kokutenko is now warp capable, great improvement :X |
| . |
| I get that they have to adapt 206 chapters into 23 episodes, but man this series just seems like an average shounen that definitely is more a work of its time, but instead it was readapted for now so what can you do |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| I didnt read the manga or watch the old show ( if they have one ) so this ep was ok for me |
Paul said: Might just be me but the visuals did not age well imo and honestly don't look good in this modern day HD. Felt like they should have modernized the designs it a bit more. I though the same. That and the rushed pace are making it pretty difficult for me to get into this. Shame because the setting seems interesting. |

Have fun riding that moomin, I think I'll pass. Well, really? I was always for Daji too, hoping that there was something more behind her scheme (it even happened). But Taigong (the ermit) is supposed to be a "stupid twat", they cut out thebeginning but most of his achievements are made through "ass-pulls" where the young looking old hero ends up doing the less possible (especially fighting) himself. The character is supposed to be a strategist (in the chinese classic), not a soldier. |
| The pacing is so fast. This could be like 3 episodes instead of one. I can't be bored by the suddenly change of tones so fast like that. And the sad thing is that I really liked the characters and setting, but it was so rushed that I couldn't be bored by it... |
| Wow, this first episode was literally the embodiment of 'super uber rushed'. Forgone introductions, development, transitions... it's like half a season was forcefully condensed and squeezed into one episode. Is this a Chinese show? Because the aforementioned is the peculiarity characteristic mostly of Chinese anime and why some (not all but a good number of) Chinese titles are off-putting. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| Don't like the animation, compare to old series this one have poor graphics. |
