| Been waiting so long for this and my disappointment is immense. I don’t even know where to begin. I was initially upset it was on Hulu instead of CR because that’ll mean less people watch it, which is kinda ok, because it’ll be more niche. The OP’s song fire af, but the visuals look like unfinished rough drafts and the cuts... The pacing and narrative of the episode is all over the place Honestly, just save your time and read the LN. I just wanna know who greenlit this bullshit. Why even make the anime if you’re going to take away everything that made the LN’s so popular? I’m extremely disappointed in what they've done to one of my favourite series. |

| Even me was very disappointed I was a fool to expect too much from this |
| I'd quote my own words: "The execution and presentation of the anime is TERRIBLE. The way they mesh in 4 different timeline randomly when they try to explain something is such an atrocious way of telling story , and easily break all immersion. It's hard to care about ANYONE in the show due to the way the timeline and flashback is layed out. The production value is absolute trash with jarring immersion breaking cheap CGI monsters. When it's not CGI, it's either static or it looks cheap as hell. The voice acting of mc is trash since the beginning. I can't get the emotion out of him, be it fear/ pain/ terror/ struggle. All of them seem SO FAKE due to how bad the voice acting is. And because of the way the plot is layed out, it's hard to care about mc at all despite his suffering.." |
| someone please tell me this was a pre-alpha episode or something, this can't be real... |

| I thought this anime looks great but I'm an idiot to expect this to be great. |

| Indeed, they forced two episodes worth materials in a single episode with 24 minutes. In terms of art it was good enough and yet the execution was terrible. I wonder why did they have to rush so much? It's a lot better if they made it 2 cour instead. The way they insert flashback like that while rushing made it seem so dull like the behemoth scene or kaori's night visit. Even though the prologue was very good in LN the anime actually ruined it. At the very least the manga still quite faithful at that part although it's still also far from LN. |

The fact it's 1 cour combined with the isekai curse as i call it (aka rush until you meet other members of the main cast) meant for me that this episode was going to be rushed as most of them are, but even still this almost beat kenja no mago in how fast it's pace was, hopefully it slows down. But either way this seems to be a trend with isekai's, correct me if i'm wrong but didn't shield hero also have a rushed first episode? |

| That's what I'm looking at. There was OBVIOUSLY a lot that could have been better. But it's the FIRST episode. They should definitely have taken a Shield Hero approach to this episode, but they didn't. Maybe they're going at a different angle? I thought the point at which they started was ok as long as we're going to get more flash backs. |

Then again, we won't know until they release a reason as to why. I can only think of four reasons: 1.They wanted to end the season on volume 4 LN, that's why they skipped much. 2.They wanted to appeal the unique of the series right away to the viewers by showing the main part of the story (Hajime fell to the abyss) maybe because they don't want viewers to see the series as generic or mainstream by detailing the prologue? Or they just don't consider it as important. Who knows. 3. Not enough budget to make 48 minutes first episode or 2 cour season. 4. Shitty director. |

Anyway thanks for that info, though tbh something still felt off about shield hero's first episode to me. |

Sorry for the misunderstanding. |
| i feel like isekai get worse and worse as the time progresses SAO doesn't looks so bad now :D |
You son of a .. turtle  |

Definitely 4 tbh, I mean can really trust the same director that did Sin:Nanatsu no Taizai? |

| I was probably going to drop this on the first episode anyway, and now I'm seeing all these complaints before I've started even watching. That's twenty minutes I can spend wasting on something else. |
 'nom' |
| Arifureta isn't bad or that very good as a LN but very fun either way. but damn, that adaptation is disgustingly bad. Terrible direction, animation, CG, many skipped content (they don't even show that it's an Isekai lmao) and so on. It's a huge trainwreck and I won't lose my time with it when I already have many anime to watch so I'll just continue in the novel. |
| It wasn't good, just okay. It could still somewhat recover in episode 2 or 3 as in they could do the story of how they got there and the other characters similar to how the Youjo Senki anime did. As is though, it's 'meh' I guess. |
| Now I can drop this anime without ever regretting it. :D They better not fuck up Mushoku Tensei though. |
