| The world setting for this show is actually kinda interesting. Characters like Milo and Pawoo are introduced but they don't interest me much yet. On the other hand, it seems the anime takes on a mature ending without much humor. And plus, I do kinda like the general premise of the show. They should probably try and get us more invested into the main cast. So far, only Pawoo has somewhat impressed me. |
 |
| Well, that actually started with a 'BANG' for sure. Japan is going through Rusty Wind which turns everything into Rust. Doctor Panda is very nice and all the girls are all over him. LOL. But, he has his fair share of trouble that his older sister, Pawoo is also suffering through the Rust infection. So, he's trying to make a medicine for it. Everything after that was pure chaos. Loving the monk or should I say the Mushroom Guardian who rescued Dr. Panda. Looking forward to more Pawoo tho. This looks very interesting to me. The visuals look cool and The OST is really good. |
 |
| For a newbie studio like OZ, the staff list is STACKED with key people, most of them from Ufotable, but more like the same staff team from Studio NAZ's ID:Invaded. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1983469 https://twitter.com/sa10tatsu/status/1368336467345498123 JUNNA having an OP for this is quite unusual, but yea OK, fine. The story of people affected by Rust like it's a natural plague in a dystopian Japan, and this Milo Nekoyanagi a.k.a Doctor Panda is treating people like his sister Pawoo while others are spreading the word to stay away from the root cause being mushrooms. The "Man-Eating Mushroom" Bisco Akaboshi whom people tend to point the blame to, being a fugitive for causing the Rust endemic through mushrooms, he is instead a "Mushroom Keeper", the boy with a huge bounty on his head. Sabikui Bisco...dare I say feels like a sub-decent Chainsaw Man with MAPPA's release coming soon. And I don't say this lightly. |

| Lol I like how the first 3 second of this episode is just the city getting all demolished through some huge explosion but the aftermath gives a desert punt vibes. Bisco who eats mushrooms is one of the most hilarious wanted poster I’ve ever seen xD but hey, I like the concept of mushrooms, it should at least be something memorable for me to hear it all over and understand the whole impact it has made to the society for both sided. That night city looks really cool?!?! Also nice to see Milo though he hasn't interest me yet but his character has potential I hope. Those Mantis Shrimps makes me wanna eat them one bite and I wonder who will Milo give it to :o. Now I just knew that Bisco was wearing a cover because the bow is definitely something that I’ve seen before in the trailer! That random boy stealing Milo’s stuff was out of the blue scene anyway HEARING KENJIRO’S VA VOICE WITH A RABBIT ALONGSIDE HIM MAKES KUROKAWA HAVING SUCH A HILARIOUS AND INTERESTING ENTRANCE UNTIL A HUGE MUSHROOM APPEARED BEHIND HIM LMAO and now I know for sure that Bisco’s bow ability can let the arrows spawn huge gigantic mushrooms which I find it interesting. This whole series right now is just the beginning and I don’t expect any full fights, just wanting to get to know more of these characters and see how they're going to develop later on I guess. ALSO JUNNA DOING ANOTHER OP WOOH !!! |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| One of those anticipated new ones coming out this season, and the setting looks to be in a world where this unknown illness has taken its toll all over. Nekoyanagi Milo, a working doctor who’s in for treating those infected individuals and also working on medicine, has his sister himself suffering from it. But hey things got a bit messy after that with those rabbit faced men unleashing chaos all over the city, and that’s when the main dude Bisco got in and seems like he’s a bit of an infamous person out there. But still for a first episode this was decent enough introducing the main premise and some of those main characters which we’ll be seeing often. Also the visuals were quite neat and that Opening was so-so. |
 |
| Despite my negative feelings of anticipation for the Winter 2022 season, this was one of the few shows that I actually had curiosity towards regards to its potential so this was a show I had some mild expectations for through the premise and trailer. The first episode was not really an instant hook but more of a slow-burner with introducing the world, various characters and the Rusting illness taking place there, the mystery surrounding Bisco, the "Man-Eating Mushroom" and the deal with mushrooms there basically. It wasn't an interesting episode on its own and did drag at various points to leave me genuinely feeling bored as a whole but this was enough of a setup for other episodes to build on and get more exciting potentially in the long run. Curious about how Bisco and Milo's chemistry would be for the remainder of this series. I'm getting a hint of CSM/Dorohedoro vibes with the wackiness of the series in some elements. Music was good, easily the best part of the episode imo. Visuals were pretty mixed here, some parts looked good, some looked pretty rough. But there wasn't a crazy amount going on here anyway for the animation department to shine so hopefully that improves with the next few episodes so I can see the kind of potential the animation can have with this series for its action sequences. Given how wacky the premise and setting is with the mushroom gimmick, it can work if well-executed. I'm glad we're getting another JUNNA anime opening song through this series too. It's good, although not her best for sure. Magus Bride and Kaizoku Oujo ones are much preferrable to me but this was solid enough. Overall, I'm not too sure on how to feel about this series from the first episode alone since it was kind of boring despite seeing some potential there, will need to see the next few to confirm to myself whether or not this show really does have the quality there to be a good series potentially or would it be just another boring and forgettable show as a whole like many others this season. |

| Mushroom what? Bruh! Am I supposed to take this shit seriously lol? Cause it feels ridiculous to me. Not a bad start by any means but feels a bit silly with mushroom this and mushroom that. Animation was allright, nothing outstanding like some people expected it to have. Anyway hopefully things will get better. |
 |
| Just read the previous comment on this thread and jesus, the STAFF team is full of talented and popular people. This is going to be great and the world setting is very interesting. The PV was amazing so hopefully the anime stays so. The huge mushroom was hilarious as hell and they're considered a threath in this world. The opening song by JUNNA is amazing. Pawo and the rest of the characters are pretty good but Pawo is the one that got me interested fr. Forgot to mention that Tsuda is VA the govnr. GOATED! Also, Bisco looks fucking intense. |

| Promising first episode, but the animation already feels way too slow and fps-less in action scenes. Let's hope other episodes will improve it and give us some cool anime madness. |
| Interesting first episode, the mushroom setting is very cool. Not a bad start! 7.5/10 ep |

| sold Mushrooms and Decay disease aka Rust Pawoo is damn sexy hot too  |
| This is a good start, but I can easily see an anime like this falling apart as it goes. I’m praying that it keeps up this quality until the end, it looks like it’ll be a pretty enjoyable seasonal |
 |
| Mushrooms!!! :D Well, that was something different. Pretty interesting start. Doctor Panda is a very likable character. |

| I have absolutely no idea what’s happening but this shit is fire. Mindless over the top entertainment, reminds me of TTGL and FLCL in that sense. Looking forward to seeing where this goes, definitely feels fresh |

| Nice start . People suffering from rusting wind . 2 Main characters one is akaboshi bisco the terrorist and another town saviour Milo nekoyanagi nice pun with doctor panda nick name . Kurokawa( sounds like a bad guy ) Kenjuro tsuda voice is rare easily gets recognised by his unique sexy voice . Pawoo. She is more like Esdeath imma fall in love with her perfect body curves . In animation wise it was a conservative approach coz it’s just character and story introduction. Hope to see some crisp action scenes in upcoming eps . White fox is also credited expected it . Suzuki Ryouta as Bisco is an interesting choice . |
 |
| Damn the cliffhanger. This was a very interesting and enjoyable episode. The world set-up was a bit difficult to understand in starting but by the end of the episode it was clear. Still not very clear about the rust disease though, just can't comprehend rust on human body lmao, guess that would be explained in next episodes. The animation is really good, some of the scenes were very beautiful. The character designs are really great too. Doctor Panda seems like a likable character, and we still haven't properly met Bisco, our MC, but he seems like an interesting dude. Looking forward to see Pawoo fight. Haha and those hookers were cute xD(highlight of the episode) The ED OP was very good, already liking it a lot. Gonna rate after watching like 3-4 episodes. Looking forward to next episode. |

Xshake said: Yeah, I realised that after reading other posts, earlier I just wasn't able to infer if it was OP or ED so I thought it was ED as it was played at the end.

| I felt like it was cutting between scenes a bit too fast for my tastes, but this was a nice first episode! |
 |
| It was a good first episode. I found it very interesting, the art is very good and the characters are apparently very cool. I hope this anime doesn't let me down. |

| Not too sure on the MCs as of yet, but the tones and setting of the show can really push this forward, and I would honestly love to see more, and to see what else it has store for us. Very interesting first episode. |
| Good episode. The setting sounds interesting. It's too early to say that it will be good, but feels like it has potential to be a really good show. |
| NOt entirely sure whats happening but it has potential for sure. |
| Good set up episode that didn't feel too rushed. I'm already intrigued by the dystopian setting and the characters. Looking forward to when the craziness will turn up. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Extremely interesting beginning. I absolutely adore the post-apocalyptic blade-runner-like setting. |
| I'm kinda getting a Dorohedoro vibe from this anime (a slight one), so Imma do it dorohedoro style What we learnt this episode: 1. Doc Panda is a good guy 2. Always call Akaboshi as Bisco 3. Pawoo is hot 4. Tsuda Kenjirou sounds sexy as always voicing Kurokawa 5. ODOKAWA IS DOC MILO!?!?!? (he is) 6. The sound design slaps 7. The staff is stacked! What do mushrooms do? We do not know And what will happen next episode? That's still a mystery That is... SABIKUI BISCO! I might keep this up for further episodes if I feel like it still has dorohedoro vibes or if I remember it or even watch it before getting burnt out from anime like I normally do |
| This is one of rare occurrences where a trailer made me pick up a show. Some Sunabozu or Casshern vibes made me interested even more, so it's pretty disappointing to see so much lazily written exposition talk or the main action point of the episode being defendant on mindbogglingly incompetent and inadequate border security. I hope this show won't completely rely on weirdness and aesthetics to cover incoherent and subpar writing. Come on anime industry, this past decade in anime is really bland, stop disappointing. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| I think the potential for this anime is very high. I just hope they don't ruin it. Episode one world building and set up was good. I think the Three main characters in Bisco, Milo, and Pawoo can be very cool. Looking forward to the rest of this. Also the soundtrack was fire. |

| I watched the trailer a few months ago and LOVED the sountrack since then I kept following news around Bisco. Glad it's finally here! I'm here before this blows up! |
 |
| looks like this will be a Nonlinear Narrative too and im sure a lot of haters will say the storytelling is messy again which is the point |
| This about to be my favorite series in the season (besides rankings of king and takagi-san) |
