| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that kinda escalated quickly. The performer of the episode was probably the most interesting par as opposed to mecha to me so far. They nee to shed light on this soon though relating to its characters. Oh well at least ED song is pretty damn good. |

| Very strange. Kinda creeped me out, but I think the mesh of mecha and traditional Japanese elements will end up interesting. Will watch a few more episodes before I decide if I'll finish it... The art style is very appealing, however, and the script is great as well. |
| Intriguing start. Nice production values too. Hopefully we’ll get a bit more insight into what exactly is going on in the next episode. |
| Getting dropped in media res is pretty rough for shows like this, where all its rules, mechanics, traditions, and systems are made up for the anime. There is so much jargon, proper nouns, and people that it's hard to keep up. I have a slight idea of what's going on, but I'm guessing there's some sort of conspiracy involving human experimentation that may or may not result in mass destruction. |
| I blind bought the complete series boxset back in the day because it looked cool but never finished it because it was too convoluted for me to follow. Almost 20 years later I'm giving it another shot. This show is incredibly dense. I found myself pausing and rewinding this episode a number of times just to understand what was going on and to figure out which character was which. It really doesn't hold your hand at all. The underlying story is pretty interesting despite the hurdles you have to traverse in order to understand what the hell is going on. The geopolitical scope, the focus on the corporatization of military advancements, and the ritualistic summoning of some otherworldly force all make me want to continue on to see if they stick the landing. The summoning/dance sequence was quite the spectacle, and I really loved how they depicted corporate espionage by having the 2 people being experimented on psychically battle one another. The show has a ton of promise, but I imagine most people will tap out after being overloaded with exposition, plotlines, and characters right off the bat. |
| The amount of close-up shots here was...huge. I wonder if it'll keep being like that. |
| Yuushirou is definitely being used by these shady operators for some nefarious purpose. It's difficult to tell what, other than that they want to summon something through a stupid dance. Hopefully the next episodes will have more context, even if that comes in the form of exposition. |

| I like how a human willfully stopped doing the trance dance because a source warned him of a potential danger. He hesitated but maybe(?) made the right call. It's a crazy combination of eternal mysticism and the advancement of civilization which makes for a cool and entertaining art piece. |
