----------------------------------------
The OP for this ep.'s nice. Not sure if the title is the one listed (the coupling song to ED single), though (it was listed as inserted song of ep1).

The socially-weak guy is involved in the girl's group. He's saving her (doing different thing) and woke up his power with getting weapon from others' body. What a concept.

ED is calm.

A really good start. Nice animation quality. I really loved the ending scene when the music kicks in at the right time and really goes with the scene and shuu annihilates the machine. All of the PV scenes and dialogues were used but meh. can't wait for the next episode. Gai is badass!

Well, the only thing I don't really approve is this "grabbing things out of special girl's chest."
It seems like everyone's doing it these days. ( ¬‿¬)

Other than that, I'm pretty sure I'm going to like this.
Which automatically means that this season's other noitaminA show, UN-GO, won't be good.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

I was watching decent livestream.

Liked pretty much everything in this first episode.

5/5

And like Oosran, I also don't approve of this already generic method of using girls power.

For me it's about Inori "Egoist" Yuzuriha. Inori as follows,
889a5172.jpg
along with poses such as the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2010/2c79d753.jpg
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2010/06670e93.jpg
she will be another got girl.

Can't really deny her cute side too in the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2010/c1fd202f.jpg
nor her chest side, which is quite provocative considering how she dresses then again so are many other girls in anime. Inori is just another fine example of risky lingerie. More later.

HO... Quite awesome. Even better than I expected.

Inori herself is cute, but I do not approve her outfit. Better wear school uniform.
Shuu is a wimp, but I don't blame him. What can he do against soldiers? He might get badass later.
Gai kicks ass. I like him better than Shuu for now.

His weapon looks cool. But again with a guy look for something in a girl's chest. Quite trendy these days.

Musics are damn great. Maybe the best of the season.
Well other fields are at the top too, plots, animations, etc.

This might be the best show of the season! Music, animation, and just about everything else is great, so for a first episode it gets top marks from me.

The cliche grabbing weapon from girls chest part wasn't so bad since the show has been great so far ( besides cliche done well > original done bad > bad cliches :x ). Can't wait for episode 2!

Awesome, awesome first episode! People said that the first episode F/Z had good animation...I'd say this blows it outta the water. Really intriguing premise too, what with the main character having to draw weapons out of other people and all. Can't wait to see how things pan out--I just hope it doesn't turn into another Code Geass (not that CG was bad by any means). All in all, though it's far too early to be calling this the best anime of ____ , I'm really liking what I see so far :D
Too bad they didn't have the OP in this episode though, I was eagerly anticipating a new Supercell song -__-

Yeah, the weapon-pulled-out-of-chest thing is going to get a tad awkward if I watch this with friends. But I'm loving everything else so far, especially the different music.

I wasn't as impressed by this show as I thought I would be from all the hype. In fact I was bored halfway through. The music was great but everything else just seemed flat to me. Just your typical mech battle with special guy pulling special weapons out of a special girls chest thing. I don't know how this is going to play out but I definitely don't think this show is on the level as some others airing this season. I'll give it another shot but so far it's just average to me.

*At least the blond dude was cute* ^_^

Yes! Finally something showing promise. Maybe there will be at least one good series in the winter season. Really liked the opening. Rest of the music, not so much. There are no annoying characters or voices so far which is already kind of a success. So please don't screw this up and give me some more of this action goodness.

It honestly wasn't that good. The animation and music were well done, but the plot and introduction of characters were EXTREMELY cliche. "Do something that you don't often do every once in a while?" Definitely not worthy of all the hype it got. 3/5. Here's to hoping it gets better

Meh. I agree with Sheapy. Plus everything just felt thrown at me..

I feel like I've seen too many of these "shy, socially awkward teen boys who suddenly find a hot girl in their room and gain something out it" shows. I'll wait and see if this is worth watching.

Well I just gave it a watch, and first thing I've gotta say, we've got a winner!!! XD
This'll easily be the anime of the season if it keeps at this pace.
I'm already in love with a lot of the characters, despite many of them not being given a proper introduction.

And moreover actually I have to say, they do a really good job with the protagonist. The guy does seem a bit wimpy or socially awkward on the surface but then, a lot of us are like that. He dislikes people, and yet if you observe him carefully you'll notice how he often tries his best not to make people around him feel uncomfortable (whether or not it's being asked for). A lot of us are like that in some way. We sometimes like to keep a good distance between ourselves. Plus, who wouldn't fall on their knees when they see a bunch of tough guys rushing in threatening to kill everyone with their guns.

The heroine is adorable. She rarely speaks, she's got a really mysterious aura around her but when she does speak it's always something that makes your heart jump. And like Shuu I don't think she's dumb or anything but I think she just doesn't know how to express herself well enough.

Well anyway, I don't wanna jump right into the conclusion after just a single ep of it but I think that this show pays an incredible amount of detail to the psyche & mindset of each one of the casts, and for me I think that's where it does better than most other shows.

Only one word can explain what I just saw. Epicness.
I mean, that was TOTTALY BADASS! Like, the art was AMAZINGG
and the songs and stuff were freakin' aweesome.
I couldn't stop opening my mouth during that.
This like a combination of No. 6, Code Geass, and Deadman Wonderland (with the action aspect of it).
Actually, I take back what I said at first...WORD CANNOT DESCRIBE WHAT I JUST SAW.

This was great. A little cliche but who knows what it might turn into.

First of all, Inori was gorgeous; She gives me some vibes of Sheryl with a mix of Ranka. But of course she is more mysterious.

Shu was alright... He is not tough though. He could have tried to save Inori at least, somehow. I hope he won't turn into another Ikari Shiji.

It had some CG vibes but the action reminded me of HotD. (Thus and the same director.)

But I wonder about those flashbacks; Wasn't that Inori with a different hairstyle? She surely did look like Anemone from Eureka Seven... Anyway it showed some mystery from the first episode. So it has potential.

The animation & music were good too.

Man...every time I hear Shu talk and scream I can't help but picture Sion.

..and I'm glad I'm not the only one that got the Code Geass vibe from this already.

But anyways, the episode was..pretty good. I'm expecting good things from this show onward.

I love the music and the animations, good work!
I doubt he even knew he had such a kind of power, lol he would be dead now if it wasn't for his power to extract weapons or tools.

What kind of picture was that when she said this time take it Shu?
She probably have meet that girl somewhere.
Well about the PV she was in the internet I think her voice was the only one there.


Next week?
Well, I guess the resistance will invite him into Undertaker

the first episode was just phenomenal. Everything about it was just perfect. Though this anime seems to have a dark feeling to it, this show may end in a sad way. I really hate animes with sad endings no matter how good it is. I hope there will be a happy ending so i can favorite this in the future
