| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Reminds me of James Bond, in a good way. Interesting start, looks like im going to adore Chiko soon. She just reminded me of Kino somehow. Surprisingly i think i understood most of the dialogue, in any case im looking forward to subs XP. edit: Oh yeah Hirano Aya voices Chiko, amazing performance as usual. |

| I thought it was pretty good. "Nijuu Mensou" himself reminded me of Roger from The Big O actually. Haha. It definitely had an old school espionage/detective kinda vibe to it, which is cool to see. Especially with the whole chase sequence and the classic "hanging ladder from hovering aircraft" escape. Yeah, Aya did a great job with Chiko. It was a bit of a different role than I've seen her play so I'm glad to hear that she changed up her voice a little to fit the part. Great performance. I'm looking forward to the introduction of the other characters we see in the OP and ED as well as seeing how this plot will develops. Another enjoyable first episode. This season is turning out to be better than I expected. |

And I was surprised that Aya Hirano is the voice of Chizuko, because I didn't even notice it until the last part of the episode. |
| Awesome start, we have vega, batman and robin.. Siing said: Surprisingly i think i understood most of the dialogue yea surprisingly it's easy to understand :D definitely going to follow this till the end 5/5 |

I've never heard of ainex, but knowing Live-Evil, it's gonna be a while... It looks like Ainex have dropped it. Well, I was wondering if you guys saw it subtitled but it seems the RAWs. I hope for the Subs to come out quickly. |
| Live-Evil subs are out. And what are they subbing this for when they've still got Shion no Ou to finish? D: |
     |
| I liked the first episode.. at last, something more or less original again.. at least in the world of anime. Hirano Aya seems to be the perfect choice as a Seiyuu for Chizuko. |
     |
| That was very nice. Another anime with a historical setting, heh. Aya-sama was great and the OP animation looked so primising that I'm very much looking forward to the next episodes. The 'beginning' of this seemed a bit easy but that didn't bother me too much. |

| So, I enjoyed this episode and I'm curious about what's going to happen and why Twenty Faces bothered saving this particular little girl and all... but was it just me or did not much actually happen? Like, a surprisingly small amount of information was given, kind of. Which is fine as long as the whole series isn't paced that way. Anyway, I'm looking forward to finding out what is going on. =) |
  |
| I kinda of liked this. Nothing too bad but nothing super great either, but it was pretty interesting. And I knew there was something shifty about her 'parents' >.> I'm liking the OP/ED and I already can't wait for the OST to come out =D |
|
| Now that was neat. A change of pace, with all the detective shows, now we have a thief show! Definite flashbacks to DNAngel too, and that's not a bad thing. I still wonder what tricks Twenty Faces has up his sleeves - walking on thin air? Say what? I didn't expect such a twist about her "parents" and Kawai being Twenty Faces, now that was cool. Will definitely keep on watching. And like Iriya said, can't wait for the OST to come out :D |
| I'm not sure what to say about this yet, didnt really like the main character but she will probably change when she have been with Twenty Faces a while. |
 |
| it was alright. i pretty much sat there waiting for the revealment of being drugged and 20 Faces to take her away. |
 |
| This has potential to be one of my favourite shows this season. Great episode. And I love the ending too. |
 |
| Eh...It was ok. The story pretty much bores me but I guess that can change. The animation is alright as well. I was pretty bored when I saw the first episode... |
     |
| liked it, but will see how the story pans out |
 |
| it was pretty good, im just wondering what kind of adventure they can have....i mean she is 11. it had a nice old anime feel but man that pistol was thin lol. |
| Finally got a chance to start this. It's a good start; Chiko (and I already knew that Aya Hirano was doing her voice weeks before this started) was a lot different than I expected. Entertaining second half, with the chase and escape scene. |
| It really wasn't that good, but not really bad either. I'm expecting it to get better though with coming episodes. |
∞      ∞ |
| I liked it, but I hope the next episode is more interesting. And like already stated, Chizuko really reminds me of Kino (Kino no Tabi). |
| The plot was REALLY predictable... I mean, a thief that announces his plans to steal a precious treasure, how many times have I seen that before? And a rich girl who has been taken in by her aunt and uncle and is being slowly poisoned to steal her fortune... it's so cliche that it kind of makes me doubt the writer's ability. And seriously, missiles launched from the hip? Give me a break. I was expecting better than this, hope it improves in the next few episodes. |
| Hum... You know, this is an adaptation from a novel some Japanese Edgar Allan Poe wrote 70 years ago : it's predictable, but not necessarily bad. I'd say it's an oldie with today's digital animation. Seriously, people should put themselves in context when watching an anime. I heard people complaining about Soul Eater being "an obvious ripoff of D.Gray-man", while the former is a year younger than the latter ; I heard people complaining about Itazura na Kiss being a lifeless "Fruits Basket x Marmalade Boy" ; I even heard people complaining about Toward the Terra being a poor man's Gundam Seed, for Christ's sake ! |
They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as Mushi. Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. |
| Huh, that's interesting about that Japanese author. However, the factoid at the bottom says that the manga by clamp was only based off Nijuu Mensou, the character that that guy created - I'm guessing that means that the insipid plot was a creation of the newer authors, who merely copied and pasted that character from the old guy's work. Even though I was disappointed, I still think it has potential. I really like Chizuko's character. |
| i was waiting for this show to be subbed even before it aired.. when the ep started, i was waiting for chiko to say somthing to know how aya will voice for this charecter.. when she talked from behind the door, i couldn't hear it well.. Ahh.. and then she talked.. it was diffrent.. and i love it.. now about the anime.. i like this kind of storys.. so i'm going to stick with this anime for sure.. hope Live Evil do a faster jop with this one.. this is the third anime i'm watching from this group.. and nothing is moving as expectid with the sub =_= |

| I like it. And the OP promises lots of little-girl-badassery. |
     |
| Nice nice, like the time setting and the beginning of it all too ;3 Ooh and Hirano Aya ftw xD. Definetly watching this to the end. |

| 5/5 It was really great. Oldschool animation style, typical BGM from old movies, unrealistic, yet funny setup. The whole show reminds me of old movies, which is a refreshing thing. One of the BGM really sounded like the james bond theme at the start. (14:20) Yes, it's unrealitsic, but who cares. It seems this is not meant to be realistic. So it's ok, then. But an 11 year old girl? I doubt you can do such thief tricks at that age, so I hope she gets much older in the next episodes. |
   |
| I really liked this. A blind download (hadn't looked in to it at all) but it was very solid. Reminds me of Lupin, only with prettier modern art. <3 |
| Im sold. i like the whole oldschool detective vibe. its like the old 60's serie The Saint with Roger Moore. |
  |
| It was ok I guess. Hope it'll get better later. Aya could certainly do a much better job than this. :S |
| bah, pretty ordinary. it might get interesting but i dont have much expectations to this one. |
| You know, I'm not usually into this kind of show. But it was surprisingly enjoyable. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| In the beginning all I can think is an older Kaito Kid, beam me up Scotty and Big O! |
| That was a good start :) |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
Pretty interesting start. 4/5 At thread: the penultimate comment is from 2009 lol |
