| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another most amazing show that does not disappoint from its studio. The setting is quite grim and sad with how it is presented. Despite the start being full of light with that girl. This series impresses like many mention music and visual style. About the beginning, 2 parts catch right away the viewers. At first he visuals in the spoiler  That is totally gross and disturbing but artful in a most gruesome way. One cannot deny both or together the notions of beauty and disgust present in one shot in this depiction. WTF happened to Aika there? The second part is Hakaze in the spoiler About Aika, I really liked it when she tend to the wounds of the boys in the spoiler That being said nice kick in the following,  Along with the most amazing fight in the spoiler I was further impressed his stopping insanity of a shot gun in the spoiler About thee end, it’s obvious that Hakaze in the spoiler About my quest for the truth, I am in for the truth and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH of the spoiler So I really like the setting in terms of art. It captures things really well and I need my truth so I need go through this. I hope they tell us before the series ends at least. BTW Image Stitches and Pic dump done: http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/10/pic-dump-and-image-stitches-of-zetsuen.html Panoramically Aika was very disturbing with that blood patent and Evangeline looks nice. |

 Oo, not bad so far. I liked the premise as well as the mystery surrounding the series of the island atmosphere. Mahiro seems to be the calm one while Yoshino seems to be more of the aggressive. The butterflies and mysteries of the atmosphere seems to give off a surreal-like aura. I liked the music of the series as well as Bone's animation works and seems to have some Shakespearean-like themes in it. Not bad so far, definitely worth the watch :> |

| holy crap, this show officially has my attention |
 |
| dammmn Mahiro is a badass. I wasn't sure about this series at first but, I'll be waiting for the next ep. Question: Was the girl in the photo you know the brown haired boys "girlfriend" Mahiro's sister? I couldn't tell .-. |

Question: Was the girl in the photo you know the brown haired boys "girlfriend" Mahiro's sister? I couldn't tell .-. Yep, she was. That actually took me by surprise...Yoshino's GF was actually Aika, he didn't really seem to care about her dying, I wonder if he knows anything about her death. And Mahiro doesn't even seem to know that Yoshino and his sister were going out. Anyway Really loved the episode...the animation was amazing, the fight scene with Mahiro against that woman was epic , Mahiro himself as a character is BA and the overall atmosphere and setting is really nice. I loved Hakaze too. She seems pretty lovable and Miyuki's voice only adds to that <3 |

| It was kinda interesting, I'll give it a few more episodes :P |
| You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me |
| Looks interesting and do like the setting. |
 |
| omg that was just too awesome >< the ost was amazing and i really love the gloomy-cynical feeling that the episode gave can't wait until next week~ |
| As usual of a Bones work, the production values are amazing! The soundtrack was pretty good and there were so many subtle animations you normally don't see in a tv show. However one character I just don't find them the most likable. The blonde guy really needed someone to slap some sense into him or give him some tough love. Even though he puts up that cool tough guy persona, down beneath you know he's this vulnerable boy who's crying on the inside. Maybe I've become jaded when it comes to avengers, as all of them eventually learn: You'll still feel empty even if you're successful. What separates likable avengers from emo ones, for me at least, are that they don't throw their rationale out the window. I'm still interested to see the story progress though. I wonder how long the red head mage will be stuck on that island or if the MC will learn magic too? |

And Mahiro doesn't even seem to know that Yoshino and his sister were going out. He definitely knows about her death .. after all he was visiting her grave. And yeah it looks like both of them were keeping it a secret from the brother. Major siscon perhaps? The only thing I didn't like was I thought the background music was a little too dominating. |
 |
| Looking reeeaaalllyyy promising, cant wait to see where this goes ^_^ |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| wow Mahiro's voice sounds pretty crazy and the theme song was English O.O |
| Taking plot aside - nothing too original but let's see how they will use it. Quoting Hamlet and that soundtrack - very nice :) |
Barion-Zara said: Yoshino's GF was actually Aika, he didn't really seem to care about her dying He does care. But for now he is acting like "everything is okay". In order to forget pain sometimes people do that. Just wait and see.*.* Kusakabe rocks, Aika rocks, everyone rocks. oh and Evangeline, she is AWESOME too. and to think that Mahiro´s VA is Shun-chan from Kimi to boku, oh GAWD |

| Very good episode ! nothing original but great presentation from Bones looking forward to more episodes ^^ |
| Good start.First thing i want to mention is of course amazing quality of animation and art (second had some weaker moments, but it's imo still amazing), but yeah, we shouldnt be much surprised here.It's BONES after all :D OST...it was just priceless.Not much to say.This kind of BGM definitely fits the atmosphere of show. Characters? we still don't know much about them, but for now im really interested in female chars of the show, especially Aika.Too bad she's already dead ;_; i felt something special in her.I hope to see much flashbacks of her.Hakaze doesnt seem like most powerful mage of all time xD but of course you can't judge book by it's cover. ED was good, but nothing IMO special.Hoping for better OP :3 4/5 and first impression 7/10.If it keeps being this way or get even better it might end up with even 9 :D but we will see. |

| This season seems to have the most amazing anime adaptions! Mahiro is such a badass, can't wait to see more of the dynamics between the two. |
 |
| So cool! :) I like this anime! Awesome cast (Yuuta and Shun from Kimi to Boku lol) Epic OST Nice animation Good action Interesting story And sexy character design! :) |
| It's been a while since a new anime show caught my interest with the first episode like this. |
| YT: Gaming (gw2,...), cons and more: http://www.youtube.com/user/Vercammen312 Monster girls club card: http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=27137 See profile for exemples. |
| FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF- I WAS 'HNNNG'ING ALL OVER THE PLACE. DAMMIT, UCHIYAMA KOUKI-SAMA. In any case, the music is amazing. And so was the animation and the art and everything :'D It does the manga justice. I swear I'm crying tears of happiness. I was completely captivated. I knew Yoshino and Aika were together. Or something. I knew it. I was thinking it the minute she began to talk to him coldly. The ED is great too. It's in English, and the song really suits it SLDFKS:DKL ARGHH I LOVE THIS. GOT SUCH HIGH EXPECTATIONS. |
| dat animation *_* |
| This show looks cool and I just watched ep 1, but I seriously have no plan what's going on so far. |
 |
| Animation and action so great so it got my attention. Another plus is the main characters aren't the pusssy types you been seeing lately in action animes. Now i might just read the manga because i dont feel like waiting. LOL |
| It was great. Toyonaga Toshiyuki didn't disappoint as Mahiro and the adaptation seems faithful to the manga as well :) |
 |
| Well, this one looks promising. Looking forward to next episode. |
 |
| Oh wow I actually really liked this episode. This anime has definitely caught my attention and I feel like it'll be one of those shows that I can't wait for each week. |
魔法少女★グレイシー |
| Great first episode :D That animation!!! |
| PFFFFFF it seems a horrific teenager show for the moment (horrific for me, i'm not in my teens). They are including some manservice too, so they want fangirls, they'll spill some hollow sentences like" time is out of joint o cursed spite..." or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGSrjojDWRM&feature=player_detailpage#t=172s. They are doing it well to sell for the moment, no more. Ill watch one episodes more and if it is going on in that way ill drop it. Not trolling, is my opinion about this first episode, generic show pointing to teenager fans, trying to be deep but being totally frivolous. |
| Never read the manga, so sue me for not really understanding what's happening. But still. Very nice animation by Bones. |
 |
| Animation is amazing! Fight scene was epic! But I was confused what was Mahiro's connection to Aika? |
 |
| Very strong opener; just like the manga's start it really makes one want to see more; they changed a few things from the manga and added others but all in all it was still a great first episode; seeing Mahiro fight with magic was BA animated; it really is a shame tho that Well in any case; the animation was indeed great and the voices matched up well. I look forward to the next episode or so; after that well only time well tell. |

| Hmm, nice story so far. Like the OP, full of english baby! |
 |
| Dat English song. Pretty interesting series so far, loving the animation used during the small fight scene. |
| This episode definitely got me hooked. One aspect that immediately stood out to me was the prevalent use of orchestral classical soundtrack which, combined with the Shakespearian elements (Mahiro quoting Hamlet: "The time is out of joint" and the whole island setting with magical aspects referring to "The Tempest") gave the episode the impression of a play, which appealed to me. They do have to pay attention that they don't overdo it with the quotes, otherwise it will seem more for show rather than using them as a fundament for more substantial matters. The dialogue contained a lot of subtext, especially in the first half, and succeeded at getting across the relationship between Mahiro and Yoshino without stating it explicitly. While the former one is clearly based on the vengeful and slightly mad Hamlet, seeking revenge for his murdered relatives, it's not quite clear to me who the latter one's character is supposed to be based on. However, it is apparent that his unassuming exterior hides a cunning side of him as it is implied by his secret relationship with Aika and her opinion of him. I wonder if Mahiro will meet the same fate as his spiritual predecessor... I like the pacing so far, it's straightforward and doesn't waste time on insignificant things. The story is shrouded in mysteries and I have the feeling Aika's puzzling demise will be one of the most important cases needed to get solved to understand the two male protagonists. |

| Oh ya forgot to mention XD; the OP is really awesome :D, if i recall its also the song they used for the PV. |

| WOW, this anime is really interesting!!... can't wait for the next ep! |

Alpha_Centauri said: A excellent show of the action and Mahiro is badass. I still think of: http://myanimelist.net/anime/1243/Night_Head_Genesis and get vibes all the time despite this series being different from it. There is some feeling from it that stems into this series. |
| Hmm I personally didn't like it that much. Will keep watching though. First impressions: 6/10 |
| The story looks pretty generic thus far, but the characters look promising and DAT ANIMATION! |
| Wow Very interesting somehow everything about this anime just feels right Music and character are great. And that fighting animation is pretty awesome Love it |
| Pretty good first episode I'm liking it so far..:P And damn the opening song is my new LSS :P |
