They were going for a style but the lack of expressions and poor lighting is really jarring. The special effects are like adding glitter to mud, it doesn't really save the aesthetic when it's the rigs that could use attention. Still, not as bad as I thought it'd be based off these reactions. There's at least movement on those fight scenes.

I guess I'll go against the grain here. I mean, it's not great but it's not utterly horrible either. At least for me, it was a little awkward in the beginning getting used to the choppy CGI animations and MC's expressionless face but over time you slowly get used to it all as you get focused on the actual story.

Detail-wise, we've come a long way since the days of ReBoot. Also, the main redeeming quality is that white-haired android girl (Alma?). She's cute and to top it off she's voiced by the same actress who did Tsukasa in Tonikaku Kawaii. That alone is reason enough to keep watching (for now).

Reboot was great! Over two decades old and still looks way better lol

This is yet another anime that's so bad it's good again. The janky animation makes fight scenes peak comedy and the mildly edgy story just adds to this magical experience. I will definitely be watching week to week.

VAing is an easier part to get it right, and at least they do. That and character choreography are not so bad that I may end up give it a 2 or 3 out of 10 by the time I finish watching the ep 3.

Well, despite everything was obvious from the moment they posted a trailer which was in fact an opening, this piece of ass fell on even deeper level of shit. I usually watch bad anime but I had no idea that everything can go soooo wrong. This 3D, while being a main hero of this title, is just one of numerous problems. Dialogs, montage, camera placement, finally the story all of this is made outrageously bad. It feels like a fan made anime done by a bunch of kids who were trying to do their first ever project. Seriously, while watching I had a feeling that authors of this anime experiment with a number of tools, trying to do different things. If my theory is right, I really wish this guys not to give up after this huge trainwreck. Actually despite this anime is complete and undeniable garbage that will stand a new mark of the worst anime ever made by a human being, in some places there is a potential. I wish Visual Fight to find a space for improvement and leave this complete failure in the past.

IMHO there's just too many "Dungeon" Anime's lately so I was looking forward to some decent SCI-Fi. But I've seen more fluid anime and better CGI on the on on the original Playstation!!!

I can't help think that they have re-cycled a lot of the backgrounds etc from other Anime's. I know I have seen them before.

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.
Hold up did you really just bash Final fantasy animation? wtf Final fantasy has some of the best fkin cg animation there is.

Please cancel every other anime. We don't need anything else after this.

Ex-Alma has only one flaw: being brought too early, when society isn't ready yet to appreciate this masterpiece.

It's amazing fun. I don't know what else to say.

Haven't seen it yet but its first time I see that low score in anime on MAL, can I ask why it has that low scores ? Trailer wasn't bad maybe quality of animation lacks but plot seemed interesting. Anyway when I see CR influenced it then I don't have high expectations from the anime.

When used in moderation and of high quality, CGI is fine. A lot of anime use CGI backgrounds and you'd never even notice it. The CGI of AOT seems fine from the screenshots I was able to find. Most of them you can't even tell if it's CGI or not.

Just watched this piece of entertainment with friends and can definitely say, one of a kind!
This anime made me laugh while some even don't, so a nice job on that subject.
The stares were very dramatic which added to the action scenes. I felt a little disturbed at the mouth-movement so hopefully that will improve in further episodes.

Finally got through episode 1. A true masterpiece. I love it for it’s shitiness. 10/10. Pretty sure most are just watching it since it’s meme material that makes you cringe, laugh, and die at the same time. Don’t know if this will get a revamp, but it’s beyond bad. Unexplainable. You have to experience this abomination to understand it. It’s like watching GTA 1’s FMVs but instead it’s in HD, and the animation is similar to pamtri or surreal entertainment on YT that’s made for laughs. Honestly after watching this I feel sorry for the author of this manga, and hope this gets revamped because it’s just unbearable to watch.

Editting's a big mess.
3d 2d mix worse than Kotobuki.
Scifi plot sounds intriguing tho, the whole Akira omage... (or huge disrespect), and dialogue way better than Back Arrow.
Good designs, but implemented in 3d animates way worse.
Besides mostly animation derp, few parts of the fight choreography was surprisingly good with kungfu moves.
Wait who keeps a giant mirror & wears office skirt for a smuggler fight?
