| Gahhhdamn this looks good!! |
| “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 |
| Everything in this chapter was perfect. The opening and ending are fantastic, the animation is very fluid and pleasant to see and the colour palette is neither too childish nor too dark, it is at the right point; the development of the story is more than well, they encompassed what is just and necessary for it to be understood. I am extremely satisfied with this episode and I dare say that perhaps it is one of the best animes we will see this season, or at least the most decent. |

YorukaWaifu said: Really good animation but nothing more. That this and Dr Stone has more score than Kanata no Astra makes me lose faith in humanity. I guess it's impossible to get a good score nowadays in MAL if the anime is not a generic battle shounen. Dr Stone was pretty unenoyable for me. That said both this and Kanata no Astra are the two I'm most hyped for having just watched the first episodes (not counting sequals). Though I don't really care about scores as I feel it's pointless scoring anything after watching just one episode makes no sense at all. |
| The concept is unique I guess. Not sure how the story will progress, i hope it's not generic. |

| This animation my god. I can't get enough of it. |
| Wow the peace of a train journey sure was shattered quite abruptly. Hmm pairing prayers with special gear sure was a interesting combo. The OP and the visuals were pretty impressive. The units main base sure is rather interesting in its layouts. Shinra's facial expressions and his manifested abilities sure ended up making his childhood harsh. But to think that this was only the precursor to what happened next to his family. The Op to deal with the factory owners wife though sure was impressive both in showing the kind of tactics that the team uses and in Shinra's determination to overcome his past. Though i have to say Shinra's crooked smile really is unnerving at times. Overall a strong first ep that did an excellent job in both introducing the team and the setting. Animation quality was also surprisingly fluid and the scenes were quite powerful in impact as well. |

| sakuga, sakuga everywhere... 5/5 |
| Boring and generic but also sakuga. |
| Literally unwatchable without getting distracted, keep replaying some scenes over and over again thanks to how good the production value is. I take back my word from Nichihoes discussion, this one got the OP of the season. Also strong contender for AotS besides Dr. Stone and probably Vinland Saga. Those abs on Maki though, hot damn |

| NIce 1st episode. Ite Tabemasu!  |

| Well, it certainly looks phenomenal. Tho story and characters don't seem interesting at all. It looks like it will be quite generic. |
| Oh god, WHY, WHY, WHY??? I'm so sorry. This was the show I was most exited for this season, because it's by the same guy who made Soul Eater, a show I fucking love and (in fairness) the setting, the characters and the story are all cool. I like all of them, but a lot of the stuff that comes with adaptation was unbearable to me. Certain shots seem like they hold for just a second too long, one scene gets cut off mid-sentence. there's weird pauses between sentences (I was watching the dub) and some of the voice actors sound really bad, especially in the flashback sequences. Also, the over-compressed explosion sound effects. I don't know what the difference is, but I liked it when Planet With did it, but it sounds so bad here. I really wanted to like this. I thought the trailer looked awesome, Soul Eater is awesome, the actual sakuga animation bits look awesome (when they're directed well). I figured this would be the big thing this season, contending with Dr Stone, but oh my god. I hate this so much. |
| pleasantly surprised by this one...gonna stick with it |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| The best 2 things so far are definitely animation and the Protagonist, i just love those Charatcers that got traumatised in their early years, it just reminds me of my own. The rest seems pretty generic, similar to 90% of all shows this year. |
 |
| One of my favorite episode 1's I've seen so far this season. It seems like a standard shounen setup so i'll have to wait to see how thing develop. The art and animation definitely grabbed my attention for sure though. I'm looking forward to next week! |
Archer123 said: KANLen09 said: how is Shinra a Deku wannabe when in my opinion Shinra's motivation is much more intriguing and riveting as a unknown entity killed his mom and little brother and due to his powers as a third generation fire soldier he was blamed for their deaths and throughout his childhood he was abhorred and so he wants to avenge them and regain his dignity. Now compare that too Deji's generic altruistic ambition to become the number 1 hero to save people.It's as everyone says: WHAT A VISUAL SPECTACLE. The strong Shounen feels brought back the MHA vibe. Even to the MC Shinra himself: "I want to be a hero." Deku wannabe perhaps? AND...Maki "Ochako"? Great setting to begin with, as expected from the PVs. Went beyond and more. Instead of a "Quirkless" power like Deku, Shinra himself as the power of Bakugo, the Devil's Footprints. Fighting fire with fire. Amazing pilot episode. Even better is the a2-cour setting. It's just a reference, don't get too riled up about it. Just stating the characteristics, that's all. |

| Almost feels like Roy Mustang's fanfic. For real though good first episode. |

| No lie, after I saw ep 1, I had a nightmare about spontaneous human combustion. Scary af. Anyways interesting opening episode. Some parts made me eye-roll and the MC had a pretty generically tragic background, but I thought the overall execution was very polished and well-done. Will keep watching for now. |
 |
| That was some amazing visuals. I'm also digging the character designs, they look cool as heck plus there's a sister as well? Well, SIGN me up baybee! Can't wait for more. |
| im not sure about the plot of this one but the animation definitely looked fantastic |
You son of a .. turtle  |
| really good animation for the first episode |

| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| This was... GUREITO DAZE. Sorry. Since the show is made by David Pro, I felt like I had to squeeze a jojo reference in there somehow. And what a Show. The Animation was Amazing. This will totally be the Sakuga fest of the season. The plot was a bit genereci but still enjoyable. I think this is one fo those where I'll have to wait more. At least I'll continue watching it for the Sakuga. |

| Loved the first episode so much!! The animation is so fluid and vibrant, Shinra is likeable too imo. All the characters look nice and the whole infernal concept is nice too, OP and ED are straight fire!!! Cant wait for more! |
 |
| That was so boring! Wow, I really kinda looked forward to it but I'm disappointed. Maybe I'm just too old for this shit but really, that's just typical shounen with typical sappy backstory and typical hero motivation with not at all funny humour, what's all the hype about? It looks nice visually but ultimately so generic. I'll give it a couple more episodes, but meh. |
  |
| Ayy lmao : as usual, I never read synopsis or watch previews (the only exceptions are when this is related to a sequel). So I casually expected an anime about firefighters, the main point would be following their daily lives, learning more about their activities. You can guess how surprised I became during the first minutes... though even if it totally broke my expectations, that looked promising. I even think I'd appreciated this first episode more than if I had read the synopsis or watched anything related. |
 |
| wow! this show is soo good. the animation is so fluid and the sound design is also really good. that OP too tho, great visuals plus a good song. also is Maki the new best girl? (glad that this is a 48 episodes long) |

| First time I actually read part of the manga before watching the anime. That said almost everything I read was put in this episode, lols. Tbh the pacing is way too fast. Characters didnt get a proper introduction and basically Shinra's past has been revealed right away whereas in the manga it was more of an interesting "mystery" factor. Obviously its hard for an anime to be the same as the manga, but they couldve done a bit more to make it feel less rushed in my opinion. Right now the characters are very flat whereas in the manga I already had a feeling they were properly introduced. Anyhow I am watching this nonetheless. Its a good series. |

| Oh boy, really excited. It was a really good, first episode. Animation is great and I can't wait to see more story (I didn't read source material bot its a must for sure) btw. Maki took my heart. |
| also the music is really good the production value for this looks off the charts ,visual style for that depressing ed is great wonder who worked on it |
 |
| The OP and ED are really good. Also the animation is fine too,the story is normal like other shounen,feels a mix of Black Clover and BNHA(i have read the manga a bit) They adapted more or less faithfully Overall, good episode. |
