THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
HERE WE ARE BOYS AND GIRLS: Crunchyroll burning themselves at their own foot of making crappy Originals, one after another.

Ex-Arm: I'm even crappier than you, Berserk 2016.
Berserk 2016: Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!


Honest to God, the OST is really good, but it really feels wasted on this terrible show.

"Oh my God, this is so bad, it's bad good" is NOT gonna cut it. I genuinely can't imagine to tell you that Final Fantasy cutscenes even do CG better than this. HiRock's story is there, but I'd feel to tell you better that the battle of 3DCGI has already been set in stone. Even the Matrix movies did these CG productions better back in the day.

This random ass character that got Truck-kun-ed into an Isekai and being a Ex-Arm robot, the character that is Natsume Akira, then fusing into this Alma AI character, Ex-Arm Number 00.

Reading the manga beforehand, I'd expect some heavy fanservice, but that isn't even respecting the original source material. Oh well, what we're all here for, it's obvious.

To be VERY honest, Ex-Arm vs. Gibiate vs. Berserk 2016? We know who's the victor. Just can't stop LMAOing at the magnificence that is the abhorring animation.

We're gonna have a lot of fun trashing this show!


BTW, that PV trailer that we saw? THAT was all here, right here in Episode 1.

So folks the anime that will surely live it's mark on history has finally started. Putting aside the absolutely non random, not cliche cringe stuff that happend I'm gonna praise how good the visuals were and the animation was legit the best thing. Forgot to mention, the voice actors are wasted on this show.

STOP MAKING ANIME CRUNCHYROLL FFS.

There have been several anime in which I questioned why they were ever released or made; however this one should truly have been dropped by whoever was in charge of this project. I'm looking forward to sticking with this until the end.

So it's real ? I hoped 'til the last moment that the preview we could watch a few months ago was just a troll...

Can someone just tell me the duration of this first episode ? If it's 12 minutes I might watch it for the lol ; if it's 24 minutes, I'll just pray for your poor souls

The story seems interesting but I just can't handle this torture
It is completely opposite of what I expected
I went in blind thinking it would be a nice and interesting show to watch but man
the Poster art was completely missleading
I should really start watching trailers before starting any show from now

ANIME OF THE DECADE IS HERE.

We finally got to watch a modern day masterpiece, thanks to everyone who made it possible. I was on the edge of my seat whole time. That plot twist at the end... the person who thought of that is a genius, a prodigy. Who would have thought of making the mc get hit by truck and turning him into an enemy of humanity.

The moment has finally arrived as Ex-Arm premieres its first episode, DEAR LORD IT HAS COME.
Fun fact: I didn't watch the whole episode, I only watched at the final minutes of the premiere.

Ex-Arm, you baited us with the cover art. And Crunchyroll, you idiots just keep shooting yourselves in the foot eh? Like I watched Gibiate and atleast it has some barely decent animation. In Ex-Arm, not only does the 3d suck...BUT IT IS EVERYTHING IT FUCKING HAVE! It has the worst done 3d animation I have ever seen, and the story just got wasted because of it.

Well folks if you really want yourself to experience some weekly torture, might as well just suit yourself watching Ex-Arm for the whole season. Because its sure as hell that I ain't riding it.

As someone who watch Berserk 2016 and Gibiate and now this, I think it's quite necessary to watch a full spectrum of anime quality, you'll never know what's good anime and bad anime when you only watch good anime, you have to watch them all.

I have watched the episode in 3x payback speed and for some reason it was enjoyable maybe 7/10 rating with only 3x playback speed but regardless it's pretty bad if you watch it normally.

When this was announced I was legit looking forward to it. As much as I dislike Crunchy, kinda sad that it had to turn out to be a meme and favotite target of mockery xD

There's no fun in trashing it anymore imo because most was already said and done when the trailer came out and I don't feel like beating that fucking dead horse any further.

Episode was fine, a mix of genuine and ironical enjyoment.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK CRUNCHYROLL!!!

This officially sets a new low for CG anime, way worse than Berserk 2016. Holy shit, the CG is so bad it can't even lip sync.

Also, what's with the 2D and CG Blend? lmfao. This was made to make your eyes bleed I see.

Honestly? Could be worse. Besides the awful animation it just feels like your average run of the mill seasonal show in regards to everything else that nobody will remember two months after the final episode. So I guess in a way giving people some laughs is the best thing that could've happened to EX-Arm.

I won't lie, me and my girlfriend were just having fun watching this trainwreck, more than most seasonals I've seen so far for sure. It's dogshit, godawful in every way imaginable but it's an entertaining experience regardless for how jokes this adaptation is. This anime project is definitely self-aware about this shit lol. Makes me wanna rewatch RWBY since RWBY was better and had better visuals even from the first season lmao.

There were some parts that looked kinda good but everything else is so bad that it made me laugh.

Also it looks like they forgot to add facial animations.

Crunchy really killed credibility of it's Originals with shitty manhwas adaptations, Gibiate and now this. When Funishit takes over their asses will hurt a lot.

You have a good point. Whether is good or bad anime, as long as we still get the access to watch it, we must appreciate them all. For some reason, yes, I have a big tolerance to those who animated any animation. Because the effort must be extremely hard. I know this has CGI, I know this has a bad animation to your eyes that not get used to this, but could you guys appreciating this despite of that?

Edit: We can critics the art, but can we at least appreciate them?
