Great first episode.
The introduction of characters was solid, and the anime's premise was set.
I loved Sagiri and her stoic attitude.
Mappa's animation continues to deliver.

Overall a fantastic start!

What a great start at first i thought it was as usual strong lazy mc who wanted die but can't die because he is too powerful
but the way story went after that got my attention
it was so much better than i thought it would be
exceeded my expectations even the animation was top notch
i'm really excited for this now!!!

I thought this is amazing, seeing characters like Sagiri being adapted from the manga into anime form. OP song also looks good and we got the storytelling going with the main premise. They kept this thrilling with the narrative but also made the episode feel right with the way the story is set up.

Sagiri made quite an impression with her character introduction with her no nonsense attitude. Gabimaru's character introduction in this episode was also interesting. The technical quality, especially the soundtrack imo is well done. Amazing start. Pretty sure they will adapt the entire manga since it has ended awhile ago.

Will it going to adapt complete Manga??

Really good start! I honestly thought the first half of the episode was a bit slow, but the second half really picked up. 

I thought too, that Gabimaru was just going to be an edgelord with no character and it left me wondering if he's ever going to get some character development, but that changed fairly quickly once we found out about his true personality and backstory, the way he doesn't actually want to die. He's my boy now, do it for your wife.
So that's it? What? We some kinda...Suicide Squad?
I am sort of worried about the wife though, I hope nothing happens to her. Even though this was only the first episode, I already want them to have a happy ending, but seeing how the father caused her scar, my worries are justified.

Also, Sagiri is cool. Really looking forward to the next episode.

Mappa's animation is always something else and seeing anything new from them is always exciting. I thought a few of those torture scenes we brutal, especially the method using bulls. In this world of killing and brutality, love is always a good thing to have and although im not a fan of putting love on a pedestal and doing things for love, it sort of works for this setting. I wish they showed more detail of Gabimaru's ninjutsu fight but that island set up was good enough to be this episode high point. I havent read the manga but if there are some cool stuff on that island i think this anime is gonna pop off.

I love this MC so much. Appearance and personality are very cool. Absolutely amazing animation, Mappa really did a good job on this episode. We have a clear goal for the MC and I hope the plot won't be too predictable. From what I can see, the other characters will also have stunning looks. Waku waku!!

manga is overhyped???
literally one of the most unknown shounens out there
A manga that is somehow included next to Chainsaw Man and JJK and referred to as the "dark trio" is unknown. Okay.
so supppose a situation...

there is a small grup of people of 2 or 3 members like a cult and they have a leader whom they respect so much that they claim that he should stand alongside the well known world leaders. maybe he is capable of standing beside them, but that fact is claimed by only a few oblivious people.. same case goes here. you who are thinking of the dark trio are a very small group of people.

Really love how the first episode starts off. As a manga reader, this is amazing to see how the animation is great and the voice actors for Gabimaru and Sagiri match exactly how I imagined them to sound. Can't wait for more episodes! Thank you for adapting the dark trio Mappa

Really faithful to the manga, I always liked the nihilism in Hell's Paradise's world, Edo era isn't romanticized at all, Sagiri and Gabimaru's relationship is very interesting. I think this will be good.
If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end.

Great first episode, nice chance of pace with the bait and switch of the MC motivation (motivation which is quite rare in battle shonens in the way it set up) looking forward to the next episodes

i didn't mean "something is wrong with you" for telling truth. what i wanted to point out was you thinking that someone deserves that punishment.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

That was absolutely flawless! The animation was that high MAPPA standard that the adaption deserves, the voice cast is perfect and the soundtrack was incredible!

Within the first few minutes this met my expectations and the rest of the Ep just exceeded them.

This anime is going to be mind blowing!
