| People who are just bashing this for having shounen cliches wtf did you expected from a battle shounen title which aimed at teens and it's from magi creator. |

| The story is quite interesting but not that much impact on me. I'll see through how this goes |

JudgeDeadd said: There were also quite a few idiotic elements in the worldbuilding: - So, people go to the mines, and are never heard from ever again? Don't these guys have friends or family who wonder what happened to them? - These hellish mines seem to be like, a stone's throw from the city gates, but nobody has ever bothered to look inside, and nobody hears the screams of the devoured miners? - Broke: Disarming your fearsome enemies. Woke: Literally forcing your enemies by law to remain armed at all times. - What even is taught at that miner school? Do you really need five years of education to bang a pickaxe against rocks? Adding to this, what's the point of the indoctrination? The whole dream to be a miner thing doesn't make them anymore pliable when they find out they're slaving for literal monsters. The working conditions were clearly a rule by fear thing. I'm really in the mood for an extremely anime battle shounen like this could be, but the lacking animation is gonna hurt even if it wasn't on the stupider end. |
| Way too basic. I only gave it a try because it's from the creator of Magi. Not even close. It's like day and night. |
| The site I was watching this on was buffering so much because everyone is probably trying to watch this absolute masterpiece Yeah it's more of your basic stuff but idk about you but I'm actually kind of DIGGING this and am curious to see the journey that these two bros go out on. Might turn out to be absolute trash, but I think it deserves at least a few episodes before considering dropping. |

| I thought it was okay I have high hopes since magi is a great anime. I am just wondering how no one knew about these monsters, like they send off their love ones and probably never return, just odd to me. I'll stick around for this season :) |

Shinuki_n_Reborn said: nightcrawlercyp said: So many things wrong with this I do not know where to start: 1. The Bushi/smaurai were indeed abusing the normal citizens. Now was this better or not than the new regime is unknown . Of course the fact that most people are ok with the oni is debatable if is better or not 2. motocycles in warring states japan 3. Warring States period was caused by samurai 4. the Oni are grotesque cats? 5. The war scythe or war pick would not look like this . A war pick would be usable in battle but not like this. It would be quite inefficient for doing the moves intended in the anime and mechanically almost impossible. The pick-axe has a completely different weight and mass distribution to a glaive or a sword. So that thing in his hand could not be used as a pickaxe either 6. they are starving but have a motocycle? really? Bro, wtf are you talking about? this is a fantasy battle shounen show about two teenagers fighting demons, no relation to real life, why you're trying to use real life logic to criticize the fantasy elements, you're trying to criticize the design of a scythe lol are you one of these people that would watch Naruto and say "uhhh, ninjas didn't wear orange suits in real life, this is so wrong"? A proper fantasy world has internal rules. It was clearly stated that the world respects the basic physic rules of our own. The weapons do not change shape during using and the users cannot change their body shape. I am not someone that says is a fantasy world so everything goes. Every world has its rules. As long as they are respected I have no issue no matter how weird they may seem. But is not the case |
| I liked this episode and the ost's were really cool the animation wasn't good at the oni slaying moments tho the motorcycle scene made me laugh and felt really weird tho lol |
| just your average everyday Anime i guess nothing special also why people has so much talk about an Anime as shallow as this anyway 😂 |
 |
| its.. Eh. not bad but nowhere close to good either, only thing im liking so far is the friend-rival duo with the mc having piercings. Yes his ear piercings make up for plus points |
| Looks like the Shaman King remake as far as budget goes. Dropped the manga a long time ago too, due to being an absolute snoozefest... The opening is absolutely horrendous looking, by the way... |
| The characters and story seem to come out of a 10 year old e-girl fanfic, the first episode didn't hyped at all, but let's see how far it goes. |
 |
| This was good, enjoyed it. Can't really judge just based on first episode, will rate after watching like 3-4 episodes. The OP and ED are good. The world concept is good too, there are Oni's and Bushi those who fight the Onis. The people of this world are dumbasses who somehow got manipulated into believing that Oni's are good, Bushi bad and discriminate against Bushi's and praise Onis They tried to make the atmosphere tense during the conversation between yellow and red(orange?) haired guy but it wasn't really. It was quite amusing to see a motorbike though not gonna lie. The fights were good but it didn't feel quite believable considering they literally saw Oni's for the first time and started slaying them like nothing even though they don't have any previous combat experience, even conversing while slaying them, didn't like this. This anime should be good, first episode was interesting, didn't get bored plus according to the ED there's a waifu too so should be fun. Looking forward to next episode. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Ah it was so refreshing to see a shounen like this. SO tired of all the new isekai. I really enjoyed this first episode. Sad to see a low score but I guess everyone has their opinions. |
| One word for this and that's, YIKES! Going from Magi to this is just painful to watch. |
| It's Morbin' Time! |
| As a person who never got into Magi, this one also didn't really grab my attention. The story and the set up felt pretty generic and predictable. The animation, while not terrible, wasn't all that impressive. Maybe once they add more characters, it will get better, but so far not too crazy about it. I did laugh when Kojirou just tackled the enemy with that silly looking crystal motorcycle (not sure if I was suppose to laugh at that). |
| Most likely a drop for me. Painfully average. Animation is below average and the premise is just... boring/ generic. Execution is bad too, there's no highlight in this first ep which is supposed to be the episode you need to keep audience's attention/ interest. |
| Decent first episode, I have a feeling things are only going to get better from here. The OP is really good too! |

phantomfandom said: If they want to differentiate this anime from dozens of similar anime they should go full BL. I've enough of a show full of hot character designs, I want hot interections. Wth. Go watch a yaoi series then. I hate it when people want random BL or GL shippings to “differentiate” a series. |

| I can almost guarantee that I will end up dropping this, but I’ll give it the old 1/5th try. The OP and ED are legitimately bad, which doesn’t help when you have the most cookie-cutter Fairy Tail inspired Shounen with subpar art and animation. I don’t have much hope for this one. |
| Pretty weak start, but maybe... hopefully it will get better |
| Alright, then. This is an okay beginning. The introduction of the main characters looks a bit too fast to make me care. Guess the story use a fast pace, idk. Also, at first i feel weird seeing the motorcycle out of the blue appeared. But honestly, since i am seeing all the effect that comes out from their sword, not to mention there's some floating land on the end. Looks like i need to be positive against this, in the midst of everyone negativity. Oped okay. Animation is fine, not that as bad as people said above. Can't care much about manga rn, because i am watching anime here, not manga. Okayish first episode overall. Lets see if the next keeps intriguing me... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| the art in the manga and the fights are difficult to adapt, idk how in the fuck this studio will do it. The animation was not that bad i've seen much worse, this manga deserved a better studio. btw it's probably my favorite ongoing battle shounen atm. |
| The animation was weak and the art style really lazy... the motorcycle was already out of place so making it in CGI was to much. For a first episode where usually there's more effort put in than the rest, this episode was subpar. I''m not seeing this getting better... Magi had really good animation, art and script, if this had or will have those, it could be or become a nice watch |
| Terrible first episode, it was even worse than I remembered it in manga. Production values mediocre, too many stilts and panning shots and those overused sounds like from some stock sounds database of anime. Motorcycle out of nowhere ramming into demon and Kojiro having Musashi's pickaxe was terrible directing, these need to have some foreshadowing. Snaita said: Magi had really good animation, art and script, if this had or will have those, it could be or become a nice watch Maybe on blurays because tv broadcast suffered from some regular QUALITY moments like infamous Morgiana's dance with missing inbetweens. |

Ronninn said: At least it's kind of decent enough for me to actually pay attention. But, eh, the animation looks cheap. Well, I'll look forward to whatever this show might offer. The animation is very poor... |
| As shounen as it gets, really. Read a comment that this episode was expanded more on the manga, but they assumed they probably just wanted it to be done and thus get into the "meaty" part of the story, which honestly, would explain a lot. I'd give it a couple more episodes since I did enjoy Magi a fair bit and 1 episode isn't usually enough to judge a series by. |

Well yes, it wasn't perfect but it still had more ups than downs. I didn't really mind Morgiana dance when I had her (and the other dude jacked like a 300 warrior) kicks fight scenes well animated. This from a show from 2012... Orient on the other hand, from the first episode doesn't even looks like it's manga. |
| Awful and soulless. Good luck for the watchers, I'm dropping. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| ok first episode. I don't think the show is taking itself seriously and I'm fine with that since the entire set up is so stupid lol. |

He will never use it again. Only Katana. |
Ardi8 said: jara00 said: If this will be weekly anime and gets better later on, then the early episode will be pardonable, well if this is seasonal anime...Honestly it gives me very typical shounen feel, nothing original. Unfortunetly animation looks a bit cheap. First episode was a little... dramatic, but let's hope for the best It's already confirmed, it will have only 12 episodes |
| For a first episode, man was I unimpressed. Even with the low expectations of a typical Shonen, this didn't really get me a slight bit invested. And lol how easy it is to tell who's a main character. |
| The problem with this is the animation it sucks, yea the story is a bit meh but I can button it but not the animation see how they are using white colored background in certain secens why do they think this is nice lol honestly I'm surprised the mangaka being as famous as she is would allow a nobody studio to adapt her manga, even if the studio is the one to reach out to her she has the power to decline the offer, look at demon slayer the plot is not the most brilliant thing ever but with a good studio and some spectacular art a series can rise to the top compared to this |
