| Finally, a Anime that screamed out like Durarara! did, it reminded me so much of it. Mikoto is definitely my favorite character so far and I reckon it will stay like that! The skateboarding scene was done very well so was the Sektor 4 against Mikoto even though not much happened and the Colorless King scene was just chilling, so far this is brilliant and looks like it is going to the top one of this seasons releases! |
| It looks awesome so far! But is Shiro really the same as the killer owo? I can already see the slash fics for Shiro and Kurou xD Why did you blush? LOL |
| I really love the OST for this series already I'm not sure if I'll continue watching this but this music is fantabulous. |
 |
| what an awesome first episode. the intro feels so much like a movie. the animation is so hot. it kind of remind me a bit of Samurai Champloo with its street fight kind of vibe specially when the rap song hit. i really am looking forward to this every week! |
"Either Die as a Hero... or live long enough to see yourself becoming the villain..." |
| I don't understand the plot probably will be explained later but damn I love this show already. It's like DRRR 2.0. and that is a good thing. And the OST is the best so far this season as far has first episodes go. |
 |
| So, this was pretty bad. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Cool animations and the main character seiyu is the same one who does the voice for Italia in Hetalia. Also notice the Yaoi and reminded me of Allen and Kanda or the two character from No. 6. Overall cool series and will continue to watch. And the cute loli too was eyecandy |
| Mostly eye candy. No real substantial plot yet. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Kinda forgot how homophobic MAL was. Ty for the reminder MAL. The story could be interesting, or could fail. It's just too early to tell really. But it hasn't failed right off the bat, and therein lies the potential I guess. Expectations are now being set unreasonably high, K. Please deliver. I've seen some comparisons to Guilty Crown, but Yashiro is already a more interesting protagonist to me than Shun was so at least there's that. Might not be saying much though, seeing how goddamn awful Shun was. Pretty sure Yashiro could be seen as annoying to some people too, but I'm not one of those people so I don't care. |

| Nothing Notable but it's definitely worth a watch so far. |
 |
| Please tell me this isn't some BL stuff. Nothing is wrong with homosexuality but i'd rather not watch it. |
 |
| Visual pron at it's finest and Visual show off 'nuff said |
| The series didn't start out too bad. Shiro didn't start out as some SUCK-@-LIFE male lead. The background music acts too cool (and it's annoying). There's too much focus on that skateboarder. And hopefully the next episode won't match the preview of it. Nice 1st episode, though. :) |
 |
| Amazing. The main feel I got from this show is that it's modern. Love the idea about a power struggle between kings/gangs. The characters are beyond cool. The whole show is very stylish, even it's name. Loved the wide-angle lens effect during the skateboard scene, it gave a very amateur feel to the ride. The beats were fresh but not so for the amount of engrish at the beginning. But why did they have to include the cute loli, I know I'll just be focusing on her screentime mostly. |
| This series does look quite promising- I've watched the previews several times and was eagerly awaiting for it to be subbed and I have to say that the animation is literally so beautiful and the characters look so interesting. But following up what everyone's been saying it is a lot like DRRR!! |
| I agree with everybody else its decent Eye candy but I dont really know whats going on half the time. |
 |
| I don't know what the hell was going on...but I liked it. The music also sounds sweet. Definitely wanting to see where the series is heading. |
 |
| Can In say the animation is freaking pretty! Pretty amazing! Love it! I think the story line is pretty awesome as well. |
 |
| Well everything about this series is great except the fact that the story seems to be a complete clusterfuck which won't make sense, nor will ever try to make sense... |
| Best show so far for the season. |
  |
| BTOOOM's much better in terms of the Pilot Episodes imo. Only the Skateboard scene with some running caught my eyes. Nothing else besides that. |
| Not the best premiere episode, but I like the premise of the story. I hope that it exceeds my expectations. |
| Look the entire point of the first episode is to get the viewer into the next episode. For all you people saying that the story is all over the place.... what? There is barely any story yet because it is the first episode, but since you guys seem to be confused lets get facts straight 1. Non Moral niggas go in and beat baddies up and try to look for the "colorless king". 2. This proves unsuccesful so Moral niggas vs unmoral niggas end up fighting each other because they are rival groups obviously. 3. The rest takes time to introduce the main character into his everyday life. This is used to show a drastic change in later episodes. THEY WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS AGAIN 4. Everything eventually develops and you find out about this colorless king. Which you know Mikoto is the red king. This is seriously ALL you need to know. How people think the story is all over the place is beyond me |
| really impressive first episode. enjoyed it a lot |
| WTF did I just watch? XD Really beautiful episode. The most stylish anime I've seen, real eye candy :P But the story seems random but I'll keep watching for the great backgrounds and colors :3 And what is up with the protagonist going all Hisoka at the end? His voice actor suddenly became Daisuke Namikawa :P doesn't fit him but I wonder what happened to him. |
| End Zionazism |
| the animation was astonishing and all the characters seem to be very interesting so far can't wait for the next episode! but i find it strange that the guy from the video was mumbling the same song that Shiro did when he first appeared @_@ so maybe he is really the colorless king? |

| Yashiro is now my third favourite character! >< ( I really love his mysterious personality) I hope he is really the colorless king or connected to it ^^ Favourite Anime/Manga Character (October 2012) 1.) Oz Vessalius (Pandora Hearts) 2.) Kirito/Kirigaya Kazuto (Sword Art Online) 3.) Yashiro Isana (K) 4.) Yoshino Takigawa (Zetsuen no Tempest) 5.) Lark Alfen (Crepuscule) 6.) Mir-yuu Ryu (Under Prin) 7.) Yuuta Togashi (Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai!) 8.) Ryouta Sakamaoto (BTOOOM!) Updated soon.... |
| It's not a matter of talent. It's a matter of will |
| So awnsome, the music is good and the art *A* and it has the same air as Drrr! Cant wait 4 the 2de episode |
 |
| Some breathtaking visuals in this anime, hoping this turns out to be a decent anime. |
 |
| Mikoto looks a bit like a cross between Doubt and Gammon IMO. The scene where Shiro got saved by Kuroh was gay, literally. I found the first ep ok, even with the english at the beginning which made me LOL The cat seems very cute and possibly its that naked girl at the stairs? |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
Mikasa said: WTF did I just watch? XD ditto. Everything just appeared so random and disjointed that I was lost by the time it was five mins in. Random scenes of of what looked like Roy mustang's group from FMA with swords, then floating giant swords, explosions.... explosions everywhere, random school scenes, floating naked flying woman, random chasing in the streets.. more exploding stuff, Alto hime badassery with a sword then flying without his EX-gear saving a boy and then wanting to kill him. Roy mustang again and some guy in jail that i think was from bleach. Credits roll. Oh God. |

| i say awesome animation. cool characters. nice songs and background. so far, if what i had in mind is the correct, the story has so many things to anticipate. pretty jam packed opening. i like it |
| "Either Die as a Hero... or live long enough to see yourself becoming the villain..." |
| ok, another yaoi scene and I will drop this shit... but overall 5/5 for the first episode. |
 |
| A bit confusing, but it's the first episode so i'm not really surprised by it. The artwork was amazing. Looks promising :3 |
| Lot of action and I didn't really get what the show is about.. but I like it already anyway :D |
| dat animation |
| "Nice to meet you. My name is Isana. Yashiro Isana." - Yashiro Isana This scene made me want to vomit. Yashiro as male lead makes me sick. Innnocent, brainless, nice bland male lead. Ugh... Hopefully this is guise and the videos that they played is the real him. Aside from my disgust of the male lead, the fighting is way too over the top and the characters are trying WAY too hard to be cool and hip. It just totally backfires for me because it all seems so corny I can't take any of it seriously. The fight scenes animations are at least very well done. Let's just hope this doesn't devolve into Blood-C with multiple characters. (aka. a battle anime with no story and where characters have to lamest or no motive) So far, it's style (dialed up WAY too much) over substance... |
 |
| 3/5 Brilliant animation, brilliant OST, nice char design and char art, cool setting But confusing story, confusing plot overall, too much run-and-chase and random shots of nudity with Neko. But hey, it kind of feels like Higashi no Eden and Durarara. Only the Skateboard scene with some running caught my eyes. Nothing else besides that. this The scene where Shiro got saved by Kuroh was gay, literally. and this |
| Absolutely amazing visuals. |

| I found the first episode very boring, and I hate MCs voice, or rather I hate how the MC is (the voice actually fits) which isn't a good premise. Furthemore the lack of music is disturbing, i know not having music is considered an effect, but this was too much. Also I got the impression that it was a show-off of visual effects. I'll wait and see for next episode if it gets any better. |
 |
| I'm... a little confused right now? But okay, the visuals are amazing and I totally loved the cast! |
| Brilliant Art, Animation, OST the only issue i can see in this blockbuster is that they seem to have forgotten to have hired writers. That seemed like a 20min long commercial and while it was eye pleasing, it bored me to tears. If it stays the course i cant see myself finishing this one. |
 |
| i was watching the first episode like a month ago, there is an anime event in my town that showed the first episode as part of the highlights.. this anime quite promising, and the promotion like everywhere so i can guarantee this anime would be so cool. neko <3 |
| Fuuck yeah. Gotta love a good urban romp. Not enough stories properly utilize the sheer size and mystery of a full-blown metropolis as it pertains to the fantasy genre. We've got ourselves a new batboy. The Shonen Bat 2.0. A slugger on wheels. It's so rare that anything has enough footwheels or baseball bats to satisfy my. Generally more a fan of roller blades but damn does this guy rock the skateboard. No complaints there. He uses a proper metal dealy. The urban beatstick is made of sturdier stuff than wood. They were doing some really interesting things with the group-shots in the beginning. Not a cinematographer by any stretch of the imagination, but for that entire first period they really seemed to be avoiding focusing the camera on any one person for any noteworthy length of time and it created a really fun feeling for the scene. Regardless of where this goes it should be fun to watch. |
| If totsuka is dead, I'm going to be really really sad. /_\ |
