It borrows from Christian symbols, but it seems less clueless than Chrno Crusade. The fact that it's alternate history might indicate that it's a little more intelligent than Chrno Crusade, which I didn't like much.

This show is popular, so I won't give up without giving it a chance.

I love this episode. I love how the whole episode runs especially how Allen explain the whole Akuma and Earl thing. Btw, the opening is awesome and the ending is amazing and nice.

Wow, I ain't had this feeling, since I watched the first episode of Bleach or FMA!! This is my favorite manga, and as I'm finding out, will probably be one of my favorite animes. It's good to feel this much excitement from an anime, especially one that I've read the manga, I didn't know if I could get this feeling anymore, thought I was immune to shock and awe of a great show. Guess not, and I'm very glad about that, I missed it. Can't wait to see what happens next. Urahara Out!!

Very interesting...the animation reminds me a lot of FMA, but it's a lot more graphic and involved. At any rate, I think I may like this anime, so I'm gonna stay while!

This series has one crazy looking villan. And those Akumas.....man that's a messed up way to make a weapon.

Wow, looks very promising to me :) I definitely won't stop at this one episode!
And...it might be weird, but I got a strong Ultimecia vibe at 15:52 with that pose, dress-like shape of the akuma's bottom half and the music XD I'm such a nolife.

I liked the way there was no cliche 'Oh nooo that's someone dear to me, you can't just kill her! uwaaaaah' from Moore xP

I've read about this anime and also watched many AMV's on YouTube about this show, so I kinda had an idea about the show before I started watching it.
I am one of the slower ones hehe since its been out for awhile and I'm just now getting to it :)
I enjoyed the first episode, I'm not really awed or anything by it, we will see how the next few episodes go. This is one of the longer anime's.. ugh 103 I think. I liked the opening and closing songs and so far I like Allen's VA :) The arm is a bit weird, but I'm digging the eye *wink*
Can't really say to much because it was only the first episode! I can't wait to see how this show turns out.

It seems like it's going to be great, then you hit the filler mountain. While some of the fillers are okay it does get tiring and doesn't get to the main story till about ep 50ish. It's a great anime if you've got the time to power through the fillers though.

Pretty good start, and even if it weren't, I've heard lots of good things about the series from friends so I won't drop it without giving it a chance. I hope there aren't any fillers. It would be a first to see such a long series of nothing but plot and storyline goodness until the end. XD

But yeah. It looks promising.

WOW. I must say I'm impressed. This feels so much like FMA. And from my perspective that's NOT a bad thing since FMA is one of my top three favorite animes.
A simple first episode where they explain the basics is a good way to start. And I just adore Allen ^^. He's way cuter than Ed is his first ep [sorry Eddie, that's the truth :P].
So yeah, I'm probably gonna continue to watch this, even if it was no 4 on my "anime that I'm too stubborn to watch" list ^^. I was reluctant to watch it because it is a bit long for my ever-shrinking amount of free time *sigh*, but I'll get through it eventually. If it's good, I'll finish it sooner than I think ^^

so the story looks promising but I tried watching the english and ack...not good. Now I know the meaning of crappy dubbing. So I guess it'll be Japanese if I decide to continue. I was hoping it would have a good dub like FMA did. Oh well.

Actually, this doesn't seem particularly interesting so far, but i like the main villain. If this is like the other shonen anime it will get more interesting after a few episodes, when the main plot kicks in so i'll keep watching it.

First episode was on the upper end of average for me. Here's hoping it'll warm up more in the next few episodes.

On another note, Timcanpy is definitely a golden snitch look-a-like.

I liked it a lot! Reminds me a lot of Soul Eater!

The show is brilliant and the first few episodes are pretty slow, you'll get into it eventually, though. It reminds you of Soul Eater because it is animated by Funimation and the animation styles are essential similar, hair and eyes wise. Also, the person who voices Allen in English also voices Death The Kid.

So far I'm impressed. ^^

For me it's just like the first chapter of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga. [A powerful kid (no parents?), defeats a minor villain, get a glimpse of the real antagonist, help a girl (never see her again?)]

102 episodes to go~

i like this. I'm not to happy about the Ms. Moore (sorry but her type annoy me. Like when she chained him in the beginning.)

Anyway I'm loving the Gothic dark thing. I really like the ending song. It'll probably be a great series. (:l

I definitely agree. This Anime is similar to FMA in some ways and Allen is soooo adorable I just can't stand it!

Finally decided to watch the anime after reading the awesome manga - still reading, though -. Beside the fact that i think Allen's voice is too childish, the episode was really good. Quite alike the manga to be honest.

Interesting first episode, the concept of this story is rather interesting, it all started off quite nice the main character seems quite fun of a character as well and the elements of the environment they're placed in are also quite nice!

Yea they're off with a good start let's see what this Anime has to offer!

Pretty good first ep definitely reminds me of FMA yet darker which is good also love the supposedly main villains design he looks crazy.

Oh and I found it an amusing coincidence that for the english dub allens VA is the same VA as raki from claymore and the akuma he kills in this ep is named clare haha =p

Interesting, but I don't like the main enemy. Can't take seriously anything with that guy there. And it kept jumping from explanation to fast pace making it a little unsmooth.

Otherwise I liked it. Will definitely watch it.

Dat anti-demon weapon.

Decent start so far. Awesome OP song and the mc is tolerable so far. Is it just me or are things rushing in a little bit? I thought they would do a little explanation or stuff. Anyways, will be following this. 103 episodes and seems to have funny scenes as well with humor. Some of the character designs are odd though.

Poor Claire and Mark ;.;
Well at least they are at peace now.

Dat Millennium Earl.

Wow... so I recently watched Seikon No Qwaser and that show SHAMELESSLY rips off the character design for the main character!! The basic premise is also somewhat ripped off but Seriously Sasha is like a clone of Allen, although their personalities are different.

Anyway that was a good start! I see the FMA similarities as well.

Any Harry Potter fans watching this? anybody notice hes got a snich flying around with him lol

also, I'm not a fan of the dub voice actor =(
