Well, kind of weak start however I've never seen something like this before. Seriously, turning trash into trees? That's at least quite original~ But the episode wasn't too much interesting for me.
Anyway, I'm gonna continue this a little bit~ I'm kind of curious how'll this turn out~

Yeah, it was kind of ridiculous. And I don't even mean Ueki's power. Plot was all over the place. Some generic villain here, whiny kid there and other random guy to make it even more weird. Well, let's see how it turns out later.

extremly confusing, no direction, but for som reason this anime is drawing me in, especially with the 3 characters,
i dont know weather ueki is a cool bad@$$ or som stupid idiot, and i particularly find the girl interesting, i feel as if i've seen her type of character somewhere else....
and why is the girl the only one that notices this? or is she just the last one to find out?

This is probably the weakest starting episode ever made.

WTF?! It's moving way too fast! The plot doesn't give you enough time to identify with the characters, as a result you don't really care what happens to them. Ueki didn't help things either by being an expressionless statue. To top it all off the dub was horrible, it was so bad I had to make sure it wasn't Stephen Foster directing it. Assuming the sub would be better the story still sucks so I'm gonna drop it.
I like Hentai, you like real life.
Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me.

Meh start. Didn't get much out of it and Ai is fucking annoying. Hopefully it will swift around a bit.

One of the wierdest 1st eps I ever saw
"I lost all of what you could call feelings of love. They weren't sealed, so they can't be released. They weren't broken, so they can't be fixed. That which is lost, cannot be recovered." Shiba Tatsuya
"There are no regrets. If one can be proud of one's life, one should not wish for another chance." Saber
"No matter what happens, no matter how crazy things get, I'll always try to restore balance." Korra
"It's madness to let others take what's yours and accept it blindly." Baatar Jr
"Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong." Zaheer
"Partner in crime, partner in time" Chloe Price and Max Caulfield

It's definitely different; most of other anime start off with a strong first episode. This one starts with a terrible one; rushed and mostly exposition.

I'll give it another two episodes to see if it can do better.

Weird power, he needs trash and he loses his talents if he hits someone with it, that's too much.
What a start, a really lame minor villain from the start.

It's not the greatest start but I must say that I found this anime by mistake. (I needed a break before finishing bleach lol)
I don't know why people find Ai annoying from the start, I feel like she's confused and pretty cute.
Lame first villain I must say, and it's pretty rushed. I just hope this anime will have some kind of plot. Cause I enjoy the vibe of it I think.
Also the "losing his talent" stuff is wierd but I'm not complaining.
Ueki is... Interesting to say the least. I should've counted his sentences cause I'm pretty sure Sakura talked more lol.

The doctor was a pretty weak villain, but I couldn't help loving how over the top he was. Seriously, hiring thugs to chase kids who smeared shit on your car is excessive enough, but the moment he nonchalantly grabbed a fucking whip he just happened to be carrying around in case something like this happened was hilarious. Seriously, he just started whipping a bunch of kids in broad daylight and no one seemed to notice or give a shit, then chained them up and tried to run them over and still nobody cared. And then his car turned out to have a jet engine tucked away? Genius.

This episode was pretty weak but it brought up interesting concepts like the MC's superpower, also Ai is waifu material although she is in 7th Grade. :( A lot of the character motivations are not clearly explained and the characters are somewhat bland right now. MC's superpower is basically restorative justice, a mix between Gold Experience and Crazy Diamond, basically he can restore plant life or turn torn up junk into plant life. I hope the rest of the characters have crazy stand like abilities that would keep this interesting. The morality in this anime seems like normal cliché shounen morality. Hopefully, this gets better because this episode was a 3.7/10
