(IMO) But,we cannot judge the anime because of only the episode 1. Every anime ( I think mostly) start with bad impression but later on,it can become a good or either best anime of the year,right? And I wish too that it didn't end up like a Yaoi or Shounen-ai genre anime ^^
It's not a matter of talent. It's a matter of will

I guess it was a fine episode...

Animation and soundtrack are great, but the story itself hasn't pulled me in yet.
Will stick with it and see how it goes.

The biggest thing that hit me was the animation. It is DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS. My jaw dropped when I saw the details they put in the landscape. Plot-wise it reminds me of Durarara but with a much much blatant power struggle within the city. I like thus far.

This whole season has been awesome so far. Gonna be busy. :D

Not bad. Not anything special either, but will give it at least a few more episodes. After watching BTOOOM and Tempest, I'm just glad they didn't bombard us with absurd, laughable, pseudo-epic lines.

Holy balls this was good. Definitely has the Durarara!! feel I love so much. The visuals were breathtaking. The soundtrack had such a sick and punk feel to it.

I'm calling it, anime of the season right here.

Next year comes the english dub, with a premier on Toonami in the spring of 2014.

Great first episode. The Engrish was pretty terrible lmao. They really need people fluent at English to do those parts at least. xD The fight scenes were awesome, love those effects and flames. The music fit so well with this Anime.

Those skateboard scenes are amazing, man I love them. The guy with the skateboard and baseball bat seems pretty cool. :D So the MC has another 'side' to him or he's just being framed. We'll just have to wait and see. Neko being naked and all lolololol.

This Anime gives me a lot of Durarara and The World Ends With You vibes.
Also OUMA SHU DIED IN THE VIDEO HECK YEAH lmaojks. xD

Even if they get people who are fluent in English the actors are told to speak in a way that would sound comfortable to Japanese native to hear, which isn't what will sound good to a native English speaker.

This is the first time i've liked the first episode of an anime so much. I haven't watched any anime in a long time, but im so glad i clicked on this one. I loved the music and characters. I thought it was really cool. Only thing was it was confusing the first time i watched it, i didnt really understand what was going on. I rewatched it 3 or 4 times. And i NEVER rewatch an episode of any anime. Last time i rewatched something it was final fantasy 7 movie xD I even downloaded the episode so i could show my friends lol Anyway, it reminds me a little of Durarara idk why. Hopefully future episodes don't let me down. Very good so far :)

Worst first episode of this season, the whole purpose of this episode was show off its animation which was not as good as people say in the first place, sure there some parts which are really well animated but other parts of the episode which have below avarege animation and by the way the protagonist is annoying as hell.

By the way, the OP somehow reminds me of Sengoku Basara's OP song, "JAP".

No, judging from the score distribution.

Apparently she's one of the main characters. We'll see her a lot.

Lol i cant believe they made Shizuo the bad guy..


About Homura, they actually aren't the bad guys, they're just taking revenge for their friend Totsuka Tatara. Totsuka was shot by a man who looked like Yashiro. It isn't confirmed whether he's dead or alive, but he does appear in the OP song, slightly after the gothic loli girl.

All those filters and little details, a great introduction episode but I guess we still need another one to actually complete the introduction. I have a lot of questions.
Also, this Engrish is actually pretty good compared to other shows.
Great first episode, this looks really promising.

It seems interesting. I must say I REALLY love the visuals. But I already know I'm going to hate that Yashiro guy. Ughh. But there seems to be a lot of other interesting character, so... we will see what happens next.

After seeing so many top class seiyuu + Sugita Tomokazu(personal fav) I should have known that it will turn into BL.Or maybe it was just that moment,I hope.

Some already concluded who is and who is not an necessary character in the first ep?Yeah ..Riiiiiight...-_-

The story seems interesting enough and we have Neko so I can ignore the-future- BL parts.
As for Yashiro...So is it double personalities or some guy with shape shifting abilities?I doubt that someone messed with the video to trap him since Kuro said that his King asked him to do it before he died meaning that the one in the video and the one he saw were the same.Unless Ichigen has staged the whole thing and is watching from the shadows.Maybe over thinking it .We dont even know what the story is all about yet.

Summary: Give me some of that stuff the makers are smoking.
Bonus: Why did that guy blush? why does he behave so sissy? Is this yaoi because I don't watch gay crap.

Wow, this anime tries way too hard, it's trying too hard to appeal to any kind of anime fan. The only things that were missing was some mechas and horror traits. Sure the animation is awe inspiring, but this first episode was a giant mess with no way to comprehend anything, but then again it's only the first episode, but it's in need of some serious world building.

2/5 for the first episode. Show now and explain later seems to be this fall season's theme -_-

The so called "story" after first episode is messed up a bit. I also disliked double opening-yeah it was double and unnecessary. I would give it 6 out of 10 because I like characters only for now and...

Better than what I thought it would be. The animation is great and the art is simply beautiful. They're showing it here in Singapore, as well. Seems like I have a reason to watch TV after all.

The plot seems very interesting, and so are the characters. I have high expectations for this series, so hopefully it won't disappoint! Though I do get the feeling that this will end up being like No. 6 (in terms of hinted boyxboy relationship).

The English dialogue at the beginning cracked me up for some reason.

Oh good damn,MY EYES!!This level of art & animation,especially animation,is just TOO MUCH.And the music is pretty good too.
Now,let's hope the story is just as good or at least decent.There was another anime with great art,animation & soundtrack that came out last fall but completely sucked in terms of writing.It's name was Guilty Crown.

Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan.
