----------------------------------------
I think it's fine so far, was expecting a lot of CGI but it turned out to be just fine for the animation quality.

We meet Kei from this episode. However, the character to really keep an eye is Tilarna Exedilika. Quite a mysterious character imo.

I agree, I really like her and the mix of vibes she gives off. I feel like she's got the potential to be one of the break out characters of the season for me. Absolutely love her design and expressions too.

Really enjoyed the first ep. Gonna love watching these two work together lol. Feels like their VAs are going to have a lot of fun.

This was really nicely put together. I was worried about the studio and staff, but they're doing a great job at bringing this crazy world to life.

It's really brutal right off the bat and I love the main characters, they'll make an interesting team. The action scenes are nice and I hope the production can keep it up.

It will be a fun time. And this line was iconic. "Satan can suck my dick". Kei is great.

Pretty dramatic first episode i shall say.

This anime had the feel of black lagoon to me. A pretty lawless city, cowboy type cop and a as of now mysterious girl with fighting abilities.

looks like a very promising anime to me.

Been looking forward for this show to air for a while. Good first episode, and you can see the buddy cop story start to unfold. I really hope the story develops well; I have a feeling if it turns out to be pretty good, it will definitely fly under the radar for the season. Also, love the ED.

What a kickass opening.

And wow, given how many different tags this has I didn't know whether to expect a clusterfuck or something distinctive with potential. Glad it seems to be the latter and I'm surprised how enjoyable this first episode was.

Pretty good, the story look interesting and the animation is okay.
I'm a bit worry tho, because Full Metal Panic also start good but turn shit later on, so I hope the author is able to maintain the quality this time.
But I'm definitly watching the next episode.

Oh, this was an interesting watch! Seeing the brutal start, I’d different ideas in mind for the remainder of the episode but it’s good that what transpired was definitely more enjoyable!

I was really worried about the quality, thanks to the Studio and Director’s past works, but this was solid for the most bit here! Moreover, I’m really liking the dynamics of the two main characters and the storyline seems to be fairly complex too so looking forward to more of this show!

Op & ED were pretty fine to me and the soundtracks pretty good too!

That was actually a pretty good episode. Like the idea and it overall seems like it could be a fun journey. OP is also contender for OP of the season

Also Model S police cars damn this society is ahead of ours :P

At first, it looked pretty interesting and mature... but then loli started to talk. Oh man, was there really the need for that? As if people can't sympathise with characters that aren't so annoyingly cute. I get that the setting allows for these types of characters to be introduced and it can be handled decently later on, but it really screwed up my first impressions. In the end, it still looked pretty interesting, I hope the story won't be a mess and only keeps getting better.

I was curious what this series can bring new to suck an old context... apparently old timey filter and some very disturbing NWO stuff.
Why is UN so powerful? Why do they accept those aliens? Why do they care what happens to them? So far I am in the criminal team all the way

reminds me of Netflix's Bright. fantasy set in a modern world with the main focus on cops with a strong hint of discrimination between the fantasy races and the humans.

CGI was kept to a minimum (car scenes) but at least it's way better than what the studio has done before (with the Berserk series).

very interested to see where this goes. i'll lol if the ultimate goal is to obtain a magical wand

I look forward to how the setting will be handled as it appears very intriguing; what could possibly happen when you introduce evil wizards and illegaly smuggled magical beasts and materials into the complicated crimescape of a modern city with one of the more active undergrounds? It can't be that bad, right?

Similarly, though it has been only hinted at, the clash between a cynical and an idealistic view on justice and law enforcment will be a treat if done well. It appears to me the author leans more towards the cynical view, but the resolution should be interesting.

That was really good! I had a ton of fun with this. Although the show feels a bit strange. Like it feels like it shouldn't exist in the modern era
I can't help but think that certain aspects of it feel racist. There's nothing BLATANTLY racist about it, but I sighed when they went out of their way to mention Mexican gangs. At the same time however, the way the girl questions the cop she's with and the way they portray him, it sometimes feels almost like a criticism of police corruption. There's even a hint of racial profiling he presents with respect to the characters from other worlds, and the show feels like its criticizing him for it.
I don't really know what to make of this show in that sense.
I had fun with it but
I'm confused as to whether or not its trying to say something about police corruption or if it just happens to have scenes like this and is actually kinda racist. Maybe I'm looking to deeply into things I dunno

Usually I agree, but in the context of the show it makes sense. She basically comes from a different dimension with different culture, magic etc. so I can even fathom her design that won't fit the rest of the show. The way I interpret is that this is intentional to hammer home the point that she is quite the unique appearance in this world and doesn't fit with the rest of the world.

Who calls their dead partners wife of four years to say they didn't make it.. Lol wtf. Like really dude you couldn't make the effort to tell her in person

From the pv I thought this might of been a cool series to check out but it was fairly average for a first episode. Will give it a few episodes.

Pretty good. Rip Rick. I think they handled his death in a pretty believable way. Unlike Kekkai Sensen the people from the other world all look very human like. I can tell this will also have a much darker tone. Definitely a more impressive first episode than Dr Stone or that Fire one.

I'm a little mixed on this one, it seemed a little rushed but I enjoyed it nonetheless. (Really this opener should have been a double episode) I'll give it a few episodes to grow on me.

According to MAL, I was the 8th person to rate it. Probably inaccurate, but I guess it needs time to calculate properly.

This opened on a dark and violent scene, it played out so well, there was so much setup and payoff. It led to the death of Kei's partner, which had visible repercussions on his family left behind. After that we got the amazing opening, love the vocals and the visual style, overall the fantasy/noir aesthetic is very immersive. The pace was a bit all over the place with a much-needed exposition dump for a setting as ambitious as this one.

The dynamic between Kei and the alien girl was fine, both have strong personalities but they don't butt heads too much. It's clear they'll overcome their differences somewhat to work together. At the end, the action choreography was hard to follow, too fast, but the sound effects, music, and voice acting were on point. Some well-used CGI like the cars and character models from a distance. The use of the car for establishing alien girl's character was repetitive, hopefully now that the setup is out of the way we'll get into some good investigations.

I'm looking forward to the next episode.

It was....kinda interesting. At least for now. The CGI is ok at times and bad in others(particularly didn't like the boat scene). Things get heavy quick when dude partner gets his neck snapped and then he has to tell his wife. I was a little worried about the dynamic with the loli(and still am) but for now its enough to see it thru the trial run. That O'Neill guy clearly up to no good.lol

only real bad thing is they seem to be pushing quite a bit of fanservice on the loli alien ant saying her name because it's too long

I really don't know how people like Arifureta more over this. This genuinely had much better animation, pacing, voice-acting, a better setting, characters, and action as a whole.
