| I can see why they decided to chance things up for the first episode of the anime, but it probably would have been better if they just followed the manga and started off from the first chapter, it would have been better. At the same time, I can understand why they started the way they did, the anime only has 12 episodes and if they would have followed the manga, the anime would have had many mysteries and unanswered questions. |
| :3 |
| First half episode looked poor ,but second was really nice! Imo antagonist is really bad and plot would be really expectable.Probably it would be not bad, not good For now im giving it 5/10 ,waiting for next ep |
dc22 said: Missed that one :Dnightcrawlercyp said: Nice episode. But the name choosing makes me wonder if the writer is trolling us: patria - literally means homeland henrietta- female name Cain - the only proper name killer of Abel Somnium - Sleep -ium Renescastle - Rennes Castle I this trolling or just bad name choice? Not to mention Cain's lastname is...Madhouse You know, the studio from which studio MAPPA originated from. Kxrumi said: Patria comes from latin so it would be in most romance languages not just Spanish. Anyway thank you for adding to my list of weird naming :DThe first five minutes were pathetic, nothing was understood. Transformations (ridiculous) from nothing and at the most (in)opportune moment of the battle... I wonder, what need to send an entire armed troop if they already had the "Incarnate" who possess superhuman powers and who are capable of eliminating an entire army? Many deaths in vain so that then the battalion of Pokemons comes to eliminate them as if nothing xD Another thing I found strange is the choice of names: - Cain: What is this, the Bible? - "Patria" ? Literally means "homeland" in Spanish lol - Bancroft, Nancy Schaal: Bancroft by Anne Bancroft? Nancy + Shaal don't fit much, do they? Since Shaal is apparently a Jewish name ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schaal_(surname) ) and the above are Anglo-Saxon. - Hank: Just hank - Somnium: I already want to sleep I don't know what to expect from this anime, but this first chapter was pretty loose, though not as much as Fairy Gone. |

| It was a bit meh with crazy pacinguntil we got the twist at the end. I expected Cain to do something like that (with that name there was no other way), but not quite in the way that it happened. |

| Not dire, but extremely mediocre. One of the most predictable episodes I ever watched. |
| I watched it because of the leads' character designs, Hmm it was going somewhat interesting until the betrayal scene, after which it was a bit underwhelming. Wonder if I will stick with it. Also Mafumafu in the ending song is a nice surprise. And I see its actually the OP song, and I assume the actual ED song will be by Gero, which is another nice surprise. |
| So... basically Wolverine got tired of the X-Men and went merc. |
 |
| Wow that was rushed. |

If this was presented in 2-3 episodes it would have been way better than the sorry mess they did. Its not bitching for the sake of bitching, we have our reasons to think it wasn't a good start as you have your reasons to think it was, that doesn't mean we are wrong. This episode have a lot of orginal moments not of manga Real start will be in next week You should understand What should I understand? Understand what? That the content of the first episode wasn't on the manga? How does that make this episode any better? If you failed to understand what I meant, let me explain: First impressions are just that, First impressions, this episode didn't give me a good one. Whether or not this anime turns out to be better than that is a complete different matter. |

| Interesting enough I'd say. It looks similar to Fairy Gone but it is executed much better. But I wouldn't like to be around for this show for more than 12 episodes. While the animation is good it runs on low in in-betweens, the backgrounds are very simplified (they lack detail -they are in a war and everything is so damm clean... What?) and the voice choices are pretty meh. Nowadays there's so much anime coming out that the VA's are basically the same for all series. How about starting casting more people Japan? The story seems to be pretty set on target and doesn't look like it could run for very long. 6/10. |
| Never trust a character named Cain - the biblical reference isn't there by chance |
| Lot of potential here. Really fast paced but I think they really wanted to introduce what the story will be about. Kind of predictable. Pretty good animation and thank got, there's no CG. Swagernator said: Also i hate when anime characters start to laugh out of nowhere. Same. But it looked unnecessary here. It was like he was saying "oh look at me I'm the villain!" |
| I enjoyed the first episode, gonna stick around with this one. |
| ok :p |
| First few minutes felt a bit meh to me, but it got better in the second half. Looking forward to the rest of it since it has so much potential. |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| Hmm new resources always end up causing conflict. The odds that the north faced though sure was grim as shown in the first battle. Still the incarnates really showed their effectiveness there though. Hmm the northern commanders are your typical backseat general who only cares about victory huh. Still despite being test subjects the incarnates sure were an interesting bunch. Still to think that the curse that they had to pay could cause them to go mad though. But if anything when combined with the war the costs incurred by the incarnates sure were brutal. Cain though sure knows how to raise morale though lol. That betrayal though sure came out of nowhere. While Elaine's logic was sound its too bad that she ended up trusting the wrong person. Overall an excellent ep that did well in introducing both the main cast and the setting. Ironic how the incarnates went from being gods that were admired to beings that are now feared. |

| I really enjoyed this - looking forward to the next episode. |
| Deliveries go here pls <3 Candy Kingdom (∩^o^)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ |
| Pretty decent start. We'll see where it goes from here |
Fortune favours the bold!  |
| i sorry i just under 2:00 in the episode but i have to put it out of my system... WHO WAS THE GENIUS THAT ORDERED A CHARGE AGAINST A WELL DEFENDED FORT? If you have this elite force who can get the heat send them alone, don't massacre you already small army for no reason... Ok, that's all |
| I loved this. Art is great, really good direciton of the action scenes with good animation where it counts and PLOT. Loved that fast moving plot. Interesting set-up and then the twist and finally we have the premise for the rest of the show it would seem (Hank tracking down and killing his old comrades with long-term goal of findging Cain / Elaine). Character design is on point too. Hank looks awesome. Girls are cute with a good mix of oppai and pettanko so far. The incarnate forms are slightly on the generic side on the whole but I really like how they're drawn and animated so I don't mind. Will probably save this for the end of the season and watch without the long wait. Have fun weekly watchers! |

| Seems the start is a good one. Hope this is not like the clueless and full of flashbacks Fairy Gone. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| well shit, the hot one turns out to be an evil bastard. damnit! |

| At the start I thought we needed a bit more setup for the action and that the show had gone into the good parts too quickly. When I realized that the War stuff with the Incarnates WAS the setup I changed my mind a little bit. Now its seems to be a Quest to find the rest of the incarnates and kill them before they go too crazy but I don't doubt that the MC will also go Berserk in the process (Unless he is the base for the Incarnates or he was the most refined one). The Scene with the MC and discounts "Yabami Yumeko" could've been the perfect finale if this was a Short film. |

| The first minute was the only good part. |
 |
| So basically "monster case" of the week with some sub plot of his former mate working in the shadows I guess. Ehh wasn't anything special. The last scene was good. |
 |
| everything is cheap in this show. story, characters, animation, design... the manga looks better however |
| I only watched this because this was from Mappa. Kind of reminded me of Fairy Gone at times. It was an interesting anime, but somehow boring at the same time; I ended up dropping it, but I hope I can enjoy this anime. So far, this is kind of fun. 'Fukigen na Mononokean' surprised me with Wolpis Carter, '7 Seeds' surprised me with Amatsuki, and this surprised me with Mafumafu. Hope those three get to sing for more animes. |
| At the start I thought we were gonna get a copy of Fairy Gone, a boring and a pointless show. Well, the episode wasn't great whatsoever. However, I actually enjoyed it. Looking forward to another episode. |
 |
| Damn I knew smthng like this was gonna happen. This was a gd start lets see what happens next. |

KANLen09 said: As per the case, MAPPA visuals less than usual but good for now, no 3D monster visuals as compared to Fairy Gone. That's because Fairy Stands are highly reusable compared to beasts here that most likely most of them will die in same episode they will re-appear (except for main antagonist and Hank) |

| I honestly don't know if I should drop this or not, because I felt like I just watched an entire series in one episode. I didn't even care for the characters enough before they were slaughtered,or were they not even important characters to begin with? I heard from some manga readers that this episode fast forwarded everything and the upcoming episodes (starting from ep3) will begin the story from the beginning, so the series will be like a giant flashback. I'm honestly hesitating so much on this |
 They all feel the same adjust to the pain..like tears in the rain.. |
yvanedisco said: Axelucard said: Fairy Gone 2.0 lol. but seriously this much better than Fairy Gone. And a lot of stuff happening this episode. Can't really say Fairy Gone 2.0. Katsute's manga came out first so... it's just a joke chill brah |
 |
| Simply amazing, so Hank is now hunting down his former comrades.. espescially that Cain guy. Also liking the american civil war vibes with those ironclads and the soldiers behind the wall. Much better than Fairy Gone. Will be following this. :) |
| I'm really excited to see where this goes, and from the looks of episode 1, I'll definitely be reading the manga soon. Cain is going to be a really interesting character, it's just a shame that the world is tied down in such little time; a long episode (or manga) count would've been great imo, although I haven't read the manga yet so I can't say, just speculation. because I have a feeling I'm going to want to see a lot more of this. Extremely interesting concept, based on Jekyll and Hyde perhaps? |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| I went in expecting nothing and I absolutely loved the first episode, Plot seems good, Characters seem cool especially the MC and the op is absolute fire!!! Defo gonna keep watching this one. |
 |
hmm, they do seem to develop a more evil personality as they mutate more into beasts. |
