my prediction was spot on with this show. It was just gonna be a show that looks pretty, and nothing else

The camera shots were awkward AF.

The CGI was awful

The bondage shit was very unnecessary, along with the giant tits.

Good music and character design is the only thing this has going for it.

Whoa, this definitely gave me the K feel (in terms both of visuals and soundtrack).

I think the first episode was a so-so start. The concept seems interesting at least. I'm not impressed by Masaru's character so far yet though..just something seems off about him that I can't quite like yet. Break is such a bully lol, a badass one but also has a sort of bad boy attitude. Koyori is adorable though imo. I'm guessing the show will explore a lot with the characters' powers like Masaru's supernatural sword. The battle choreography looks decent but the fan service looked so awkward.
You mean Tazuna, right? Not Masaru xD

k so, first of all it looks kinda nice aside from the moving camera which kinda makes me dizzy. especially in the classroom part.
the soundtrack when they were in the hospital bed was really nice.
bind was super fricken hot and her moaning lol?
boob physics in this lmaoo
the CGI'd chains from break looked really out of place and bad
also, the script for the characters were kinda bad and cringy.

saw some problems but hey, ill continue

Bad opening episode. They were clearly trying to impress with the angles, detailed background animation and everything else going on. But it was just too much that it got distracting and they didnt really introduce what the show is about. It didnt feel like an opening episode. I am kind of excited to see this sort of animation style in the future though (in other shows). Its fresh but its a bit overwhelming and will take some getting used to.

I expect the series will probably improve as it goes on. Since it just seems like they ruined it by trying to be too flashy for the opening episode. And yeah this feels like an experimental show to be honest.

Well, I just thought this first episode as weird. It's like they tried so hard to make the animation as much detail as possible but ruined the basics of animation, and also it looked as if they wanted to show everything that's happening at every angle so they just put every angle they could've possibly put in. Also it gave me a small headache.
The plot isn't so bad, so I'm going to continue watching it, but I'm possibly dropping the anime after confirming the crappy visuals.

What the fuck. The CGI is shit, the animation is shittier and somehow the art is the shittiest part with all its nasty oversaturated colors.
The soundtrack is amazing though, too bad you can't hear it very well over the loud moaning of that f-cup girl.

@ALL-THE-COMPLAINERS

Okay, this is an interesting series for the technical subject. Someone gave me some weird information, so i investigated it of curiosity by frame-stepping...

Frankly, the way they get the 3D to cohere with the 2D is quite well done, especially when they can make discerning between the 2 difficult at times. The 3D effects that "wrap around" 2D characters and such, is not easy to do.

There is however a very weird thing they do with the frame pacing of the series:
-series is rendered bulk in 30fps
-2D characters are rendered in 10fps
-panning shots are in 15fps (2D anime usually pan in 24)
-2D effects aer in 15fps

3D is inconsistent. At some parts it is rendered in full 30fps, and others in 10fps, and sometimes in 15fps.... This inconsistency is very jarring. For example at the beginning when they were up the side of the building with the chains on them, it was 10fps, and the pan down to where the claw hand came of the smoke it was jumped to 30fps.

...All of that said, the 2D animation is very beautiful - it's fluid and very detailed, even during pseudo-3D camera sweeps... They really should have just done it all in 2D. K-Project already had proven itself in that regard. Though i guess maybe they're going for something experimental?


That masochist bind girl was making me hot though... damn.

People are complaining way too much about this.

The only problems with the CG animation were the gears and the chain/tentacle hentai; the rest of the CG was just fine. Although, GoHands fish eye lens scenes never fit in anywhere.. Some camera pans were well-done, others were awkward and obnoxious. Other than that, the only thing I cant stand are the awful character designs.

But really, the backgrounds were gorgeous, special effects were amazing, and the OST was great; which is exactly what I expected, and all I came for.

That was a rather interesting start to this show, wasn't expecting to see some girl being wrapped around in chains to kicks things off. Not exactly the way to treat a woman.

Sad story that Masaru has losing his sister, but it gives him the strength to fight with Koyori.

Looks promising so far. Next episode looks like it's going to be a bit difficult for him.

Imagine a dark, brooding, philosophical anime with meaningful commentary, interesting characters and dialogue among them, with a nihilistic tone, to set the mood... and then a woman with giant tits enters the scene. I know you probably wouldn't care but that completely wrecks the mood that the show had. Just because fanservice is very common in anime doesn't mean that's a good thing critically speaking. It's fine to not care at all about a show's worth critically but it's preposterous to assume no one else will.

One of the few shows I've ever watched that actually tested my patience and tolerance.
I was kinda excited for what this would do considering the K Project was enjoyable and entertaining enough for me, but the camera work was at times really cool and other times completely ruined the moments.
The walking animations weren't very good to begin with and with them trying to animate movement while doing weird camera shifts/rotations, the movement looked even worse and choppy.
I don't hate fanservice at all, I mean... I love To Love Ru and HOTD but lord seitokaichou Lily's boob bouncing animation killed me. People should not complain about Ryo-tas's bosom anymore, because this one is just as absurd
Oh and Break and Bind dude's personality was so weird. I'm a fan of showing the future before returning to explain how it got there, but in this case it was really convoluted and he is one of the most vapid first encounter enemies I've ever seen. The buildup to what was presented at the beginning was weird and abrupt for me too, and he just seemed like an extremely stupid and petty guy who was just there for the plot that's probably the case tho
Oh and I have no clue what the heck was up with his power. Does he control chains? Or does he make them? How many and how long can he make them? Can he make them appear anywhere? etc etc. It was hard for me to watch without knowing anything about his restrictions or the extent of his powers, so I hope they explain that next ep.

Couldn't get into it, colors were nice and it was extremely stylistic, special effects were pretty spectacular for the most part and the OST was decent, but apart from that nothing really for me to get behind. This may be one of the few anime that I struggle to finish, please prove me wrong Hand Shakers!

Welp... yeah, this was pretty flashy but ugly.

Dislike comparing things but because it had a very similar style, their other anime K was far more visually appealing. Sure, the choreography in there was way too over-the-top and annoying at times same as in here, but everything else was fine, the full 3D CGI included. Nothing in this one "meshes" well and just feels very disorienting most the time.

However, I am somewhat liking the MC a bit. He's nothing special and a bit plain but he's at least a good guy overall.

If there was anything I liked, it'd have to be the OST once again.

Hopefully it improves throughout the rest of the anime

Probably the worst anime I have watched this season so far.
The shaky camera is really annoying, the characters in 2D-design-like but animated like it was 3D, the horrible fanservice, the poor CGI, the cliche story of light novel...
It gave me a very awful first impression.
And it's supposed that the episode one always is the best animated lol.

I don't have an issue with animation; it's a little wonky, but I can appreciate the attempts at the long, circular panning shots with traditional animation.

I haven't seen K, but I have seen a good chunk of Coppelion (before I dropped it). If the directorial/series composition staff of GoHands is capable of putting out a flop like that, they're certainly liable to put out another. I'm giving this one a few more episodes, but it's not looking promising.
