| Oh, it looked like a cocktail from AnoHana, Evangelion, the Pacific Rim, Bokurano and Your Name. But the show interested me, so I definitely will wait for the continuation. I hope that it will be as gloomy as the classic mecha series. |
 |
| Seems like a nice mecha anime with good production values. Character designs are nice too and the background music is great. I'm always into some glorious hand-drawn mecha action, so count me in! The characters themselves are kinda ehh. The premise itself is kinda ehh. Some of the generic/cliche moments are kinda ehh. But the episode itself felt more than "ehh" because of its sense of style. 3/5 |

| Yeah, it started and started good, showed a little of the Gainax/Trigger's craziness and epicness. I hope them keep that way, bring it the fuck on, I'M READY FOR MORE! |
  |
| It had to be done. Trigger doesn't disappoint. |
 |
| Looks like this anime will be interesting to watch. I got the Trigger vibes already and 002 is a peculiar character. Can't wait to see how the story progresses |

I hate that fucking perverted doctor already and I have the feeling he's supposed to be a good guy. I guess I should have been wary when they announced Yabuki Kentarou's involvement. Yabuki is only the artist for the manga. Btw if you're referring to To Love Ru, he's not the writer there either. |
| The first episode was quite nice, Had action, A bit of explaining etc. I'm definitely looking forward to the whole anime itself, But the MC's character did feel quite back-bone less, out of structure as a character and that same treating that one girl who gave almost a lot for you (I guess that one girl who left him did?), But you cockblocked her all the way, But when a sudden red hair chick pop's outta nowhere and you give everything for her mentality, Which most of the time ruins anime's for me, Like Guilty Crown and SAO did for me. Hope it doesn't end up like that. |
| I only knew about this recently because it was announced as an upcoming set for WS so I thought I might as well give it a watch to see if it's any good. We aren't supposed to lick ourselves clean, that's a cat. He just picked up her underwear without even bothering to check what he grabbed. Well at least she thought it was funny, actually after that next scene she is a crazy girl. I had a feeling he would want to get in there and fight with her, he got a kiss after all. Oh wow it evolved, glad the doctor explained why. It was interesting enough to make me want to watch more. |

| I'm tired of these uninteresting MCs. He might as well be one of those JRPG characters that don't speak. The one that deserves that role is always second fiddle. |
| Great Episode! I was hooked since minute one! 002 is best girl this season if this keeps up and I just love the ending fight! 9/10 for the first EP. |
| Jesus, people already talking shit. The first episode is entirely made by A1, not Trigger. Also, this isn't a trigger show. gomennasai said: The animation is great, the music is good, the action is intense, but everything else... I don't know where to start.

EDIT: To put everything in context, my problem is not nudity. I liked Kill La Kill a lot, for example. It's the FranXX system. It's been designed by a fellow who's shown at the very beginning to be a fucking molester. He designed his robots this way because he's a pervert who can't keep his grabby hands for himself. And we're supposed to be rooting for him. Sorry, but no. |

| I don't like mechas, but this first episode was awesome, looking reeeeally forward to it |

| I thought it is similar to Zoids but it became gundam. Anyway its good I could feel KLK vibes on FranXX transformation I just hope MC would grow on this series. |
 |
| eh, it was an alright first episode. solid 7/10. i like the sci fi elements - i was worried they were going to copy evangelion & pacrim too heavily, but i have faith it'll develop its own identity during its run. i like the roster of characters so far, with 24 episodes i hope we get an episode dedicated to each one instead of them all being cardboard standee's in the background and the show only focusing on the main couple! the things that kind of detracted from my enjoyment was the abundance of fanservice (i expected it going into it though lol with trigger and a1 at the helm, but still) and the corny script writing... mc feels like a bastard child of eren jaeger and shinji ikari LMAO edit: i knew i was forgetting something! i also REALLY hope this doesn't devolve into relationship melodrama like kiznaiver, re:creators, nagi no asukara (and more) did... it would suck for all this worldbuilding to be cast aside for stupid angst shit. |

| That was simply epic. Definitely fulfilled my expectations. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |

Hiroyuki Imaishi is the action director for this series. He would have been involved with action in this first episode and probably this entire series... Just the mecha transformation and Zero Two design alone is all heavily trigger as well as the ending action sequence. |
Ok? What am I supposed to be seeing? It still looks liie you're triggered. |
|
And I have every right to do so :) |

Not really. You're complaining about basically nothing. |

| @Kittens-kun I'm pretty sure it was nothing to those people who experienced it firsthand :) |
| Sorry, due to licensing limitations, this signature is unavailable in your region. |
You don't have to find it funny. I'm just pointing out that it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. @gomennasai LOL. You're hilarious bro. |
|
| @Kittens-kun Look, I get it. It was meant to be a non-serious moment. It's not like I'm dense to not understand the creators' intentions. Well, it was not funny. I didn't like it. I've felt physically sick. It ruined my experience with this anime. End of the story. It's not like I want to ban it or something :D |
| Sorry, due to licensing limitations, this signature is unavailable in your region. |
| That was definitely better than what I expected, especially the end was nailed so well. Zero Two already looks like best girl of the season. Gonna stick around and see where this goes. |

Just the mecha transformation and Zero Two design alone is all heavily trigger as well as the ending action sequence. Because A-1 is credited for the first episode. Imaishi is indeed part of the storyboard in the action scene but Nishigori (Idolmaster, Gurren Lagan) is the Director, writer and storyboarder of the episode and like I said, A-1 is credited for the first episode. |

You can read the manga and see that it's different. Also, Yabuki didn't designed anything, Masayoshi Tanaka is the designer of the anime, not him. You are talking without knowing anything. Also, the manga is the adaptation of the anime, not the contrary. It's an anime original. |
| On a side note, I have flashbacks of limbs, guts and terror whenever I see a naked girl with horns and pink hair... |

| Holy damn, that was interesting, and for a first episode, even incredibly intense. I'm intrigued. |
  |
BawkBawkBwoom said: On a side note, I have flashbacks of limbs, guts and terror whenever I see a naked girl with horns and pink hair... I guess it doesn't help either that the pairs are literally parasitic xD. |
| Love Zero-two already |
 |
| So this was in the vibe of what I was looking forward for it to be, a crossover TTGL with Kill la Kill and promising psyco vibes from NGE? I M SOLD. Things will definitly be interesting with this one, pity I have to wait weekly to see it. ;( OST looked very interesting too, I dont want to hype it too much but for far seems alot more enjoyable than what Kill la Kill was for me. |
 |
| This was weird No, honestly. I was lost... Is this a mecha anime, the robot seemed to be alive. Confused, however I remain interested because of its Pacific rim-esque ideas towards the use of two behaving as one to pilot it. My biggest problem is the fact they used eyes and mouth instead of visor head gear for the head |

| The animation was something else. Music also sounds very promising. Loved the track from the PV that played twice in this episode. Let's see were this goes. |

The butt grabbing was obviously a joke. No need to triggered. I don't see what's so funny about sexual humor like that. It was tasteless and not to mention, the perverted old man is such an overused and unfunny trope in shows. It's just as bad as the trope where the main character walks on a naked female character which happened in this episode. |
