This ep was really good have a very emmotional end, great introduction to the world. Shiki intrigued me as a character tbh and i guess jc staff has delievered a very good quality ep. The vibes from FT are present but the show also has it's own path to go so that's a very good sign, im very happy that i didn't overlooked it

Rebecca's voice, Happy's voice (lol) and Shiki's voice all sounds perfect!

This was a good episode, animation/artwork was good but I don’t like the OSTs for the show it’s mad boring compare to Fairy Tail OSTs but other than that good episode Shiki is badass.

Yup.. good old Mashima with his good old fanservice.
Other than that, Shiki wants to make lots of friends because he considers them the most precious. I wonder why's that. LOL.
Rebecca is pretty cute and Happy is Happy. Felt bad for those machines at the end, pretty ironic.
A decent first episode, Animation is good from J.C Staff. I wanna see where his journey takes him.

Even for the first ep, this adaptation is turning out better than I thought it would lol. Things are actually looking clean.

It's hilarious how Edens Zero is keeping the same "WOW!" sound effect that Fairy Tail spammed to death lmao!

Mikakoshi as Rebecca is just as awakening as I imagined it would be ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It's going to be pretty fun to keep up with this and the manga now.

Finally Edens Zero anime is here and this was a good premise. Visuals and animation were nice. Looks like we are in for a great adaptation.

I love the characters. Shiki seems like a nice protag and Rebecca too. She's really cute and ofc we get Happy here too. Mother's a really interesting character too and damn she's so big. Also it's kinda funny that they look like Natsu and Lucy but that's Mashima's way of doing things, he likes reusing his character designs.

First thing Shiki does after meeting Rebecca is touch her and even grope her lol. I mean it's understandable, it's the first time he ever met a human other than him. So he was just trying to verify if she really was a human and doesn't know that he shouldn't grope a girls oppais.

So Shiki's power is gravity ether gear which is proly gonna be op. Also I love that the aura is green colour, it looks cool.

The action scenes were pretty cool and damn the robots had to play the bad guys so that Shiki will leave the planet, that was quite touching. Thou their plan worked and Shiki has finally left the planet with Rebecca and his adventure of making 100 friends finally begins. Dunno if it was OP/ED at the end but that was cool.

Liked the start and this'll be a fun ride for sure, looking forward to more.

I'm disappointed with the episode as it gave away some details which would have been better in the next one. The execution and interaction of characters was also poor and it seems "friendship" is once again the main goal of the anime.

After watching Fairy Tail, this doesn't seem new. And, there wasn't enough impact when Shiki left. It felt totally empty. He had a very weak will to not stay and help his friends one way or the other.

Other than that, I guess I'll keep watching it to see how thing go.

Everything is fine with the first episode. He completely adapted the first chapter of the manga. There is nothing superfluous in it.
Friendship in Eden doesn't work the way it does in Fairy Tail.

Well I mean beside the obvious copyying of character designs from Fairy Tail which I dont even mind I guess its just that the show looks very unappealing to me. A typical shounen character whose a perverted retard and also "obviously" a very nice guy, thats the kind of character I hate most. The typical girl that is drawn to be as thicc as possible with not other character trait than having big tits and I guess in this case wanting followers onine and then Happy who is a fine mascot I guess but nothing more.
Also Im relatively confident I know the gist of what the story and plot will be like and I dont wanna waste my time with that.

if you just read the manga, you probably change your opinion on this
believe me is so different than fairy tail
the only connect between them is the character design

You are in a wrong genre dude. Why do you want an edgy mc in an adventure and friendship themed anime? Besides,being confident about a plot just by watching first ep is bs. Most anime don't establish goals and stories in ep 1, it will likely develop in the future eps. Besides, EZ's mysteries are the charm of the series. It is the reason that manga readers are still attached to it.

Ah yes Eden's Zero has begun. I love how they went with the OG Fairytail animations and even similar BGM vibes. Can't wait for more of Shiki's journey.

Some drama in start and funny moments, very common start for an shounen.

Happy's VA is still the same. Rebecca looks like Lucy. Shiki resembles Gajeel at first solely because of hair (lol) then Gray after the haircut. Ahhhh watching this feels nostalgic, I miss Fairy Tail.

But, Edens Zero surely has its own strengths. Episode 1 is a roller coaster of emotion. I actually thought thqt the Granbell Machines were infected by a virus but they only did it just to make sure that Shiki will leave Granbell and explore the universe. And all the Machines are smiling after Shiki left. Awwww. T_T

I must say, the Ether Gear and Shiki's abilities are so cool, amazing animation!

I'm definitely looking forward to Shiki, Rebecca and Happy adventures in space. Them encountering the golden dragon in the beginning is so symbolic, just like how Ash met Ho-oh. That dragon is big but there's a bigger entity possibly controlling the universe! This is so fascinating so far!

They all look similar to Fairy Tail's characters, it's almost like he planned them to be in the same manga/anime. I'm not sure if I like the story but Rebecca is HOT.

This episode was pretty well done, it adapted the manga fantastically, followed it pretty well, the animation was good, I liked it, it got off a pretty nice start. I also like how they established Shiki's fear of bugs from the get go lol, that was a really cool change that makes tgis episode even better as both an anime and as an adaptation

Shiki is not perverted and does not continue that behavior later in the series. Rebecca and Happy's back story is literally in episode 2 and they get a lot more character development further in the series. And I honestly do not believe you know where the series is going based on what you said.

What part of hasn't ever met any human before so he doesn't know social conventions and norms do you fail to understand?

He was literally a space mowgli. He couldn't have known that touching breasts is frowned upon. He wasn't even lecherous about it, just curious, and never continued it in future.

Also how can you judge an anime based on first episode, which you haven't even watched completely?

Well... First of all he was raised by robots who probably know atleast some human convention. And unlike for example Goku he doesnt play it of as just being curious but he literally jumps at her only focusing on her tits and panties not the fact that he just saw a human being for the first time. Ergo Im gonna call retarded fanservice.

Anyway m tired of arguing with people and yes you can definetly see if an anime is not for you from one episode and you probably cant rate a series from the first episode but you very often can get quite a good grasp on what kind of range in terms of quality an anime will fall into. And this one falls into pretty bad for me atleast. Also I wouldnt agree that FMAs first episode, in both adaptions, was bad

Seeing all these arguments throughout the thread was an entertaining read lmaoooo.

Onto the actual episode, pretty textbook start for an adventure shounen. We got black-haired Natsu meeting not-Lucy and Happy and now the 3 of them are off to have fun space adventures.

I swear when this adaptation first got announced I was hoping that they would have used Natsu and Lucy's VAs for Shiki and Rebecca lol, if they actually did that it would have been so hilarious.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Watch again. He first touches, measures and stretches her face, and after that he moves down to the chest, an act for which he gets beaten down. He literally never focused on her tits and panties. It was just next in line in her body while he was checking it out, because he hasn't met any human ever in his life. Ergo you've either not watched anything or you forgot. He is simply curious about her.

Yes, bots have taught him that there are humans and they have 2 genders but beyond that why would they even teach about the norms? Norms are understood and taught through social interactions, something Shiki lacks.

Its fine to not like something or have a different opinion. I'm not criticizing you on that. I for example don't like Naruto. I just said give it a watch before saying it as garbage.

But my problem was with you calling him a pervert. There's a fine line of difference between not liking something and being disingenuous. You're on the latter side of the line, with your proclamation of him being a pervert.

Also what does FMA have to do with anything I said?

That's literally not true. For example plot twists and turns are literally by their nature not something you can predict and get a good grasp of initially. Not at the least by just watching a single episode. This story has quite a lot of those. And its pretty interesting so far, I for one dismissed at first thinking it'd be like Fairy Tail, but gave it a try later on due to my brother's insistence. And I quite liked it.

Tldr- The actual meat of the story is quite different from the inital chapter/episode.

This episode was interesting. Here we have an insight about their goals, that are simple at first sight, but are still captivating and funny. I hope this anime will be on my top 10 of the year, it looks promising. I hope it will be a big story, with more than 100 episodes. Let the journey begin.
