| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I was excited for the first episode. :3 So how did you all like it? I did like the ship design. Pretty Awesome. xD |
| Solid entertainment, great animation and designs. |
| Good art, colouring, voices, and sound ^_^ Can't wait to see more episodes. Oh, it also has a really neat ending too, all iPod style =P |
   |
| I liked it! I'm so glad someone picked this story up. The OVA was one of the first anime videos I'd ever seen. ^^ The opening song was nice, and so was the ending. I liked the character designs, but I think I prefer the old design of Birdy. Is anyone going to sub this? |

| While I have no prior experience with Birdy I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and hope that it stays this entertaining. Easily the most promising thing I've seen from this summer thus far. |
| first episode was good but it unfortunately looks to be heading into the superhero and monster of the week realm- both of which i'm not a fan of. |
 |
| Pretty good first episode, this series could be fun^^, |

| This first episode was pretty good! Really liked the fighting sequences. The ending was pretty good to (it's a rare thing for me, to enjoy the ending more than the OP =P). |
| Decend first episode. Nothing great, but it was entertaining and the action scenes were one of the better in that specific genre. Moreover it's pretty funny for the heroine to accidentally kill the main guy in the first episode (though not really new). xD |
   |
| Pretty weird... but pretty nice at the same time, not really sure what to think of it... I will give it a few episodes... |
     |
| I love it :O Nice, well animated action scenes and it shows a promising plot. |
| I think the fight was really well animated. The premise is a little strange or corny but I'll see how it turns out. |
     |
| I've been looking forward to this one. The action sequence was well animated, and was entertaining. Seems like it'll be pretty good. |

| Wow! I dug it. Like the animation style. |
 |
| Great OP and ED. Quite a good episode, will watch the series for sure. |

| Pretty good episode, I'm liking the characters already. Looking forward to more. Music is good too, the ED is better than the OP though. |

| This anime have this "old" feeling to it, like it's made in 2000 but really good first episode so far. Ending song is tight. |
 |
| well, I liked it but I was expecting the girls allien actually living with the guy and with some kind of romance, and it looks like their relation is gonna be only a friendly one. |
 |
| This is looking good to me, animation fine and the plot seems good to me >3. And I love the funky BGM's. |

| So we're only an episode in, but already things are looking promising. I feel like I'm really going to enjoy this show. The original source is a manga right? Is there any chance of there being any sort of deviation from that? Did the original OVA stick to it? This is my first exposure to anything Birdy so I would like to know. |
| I enjoyed this episode. I liked the voices a lot, and the animation was well done. I think I prefer the original birdy's character design from the OAVs. Watching this did make me feel nostalgic, it has been so long since I watched those OAVs, but I really enjoyed them too. I am just happy to see new Birdy, and happy to see they put some effort into it. Nice op/ed also. |

| loved the first episode, the only anime i've picked up this season so far...pretty disappointing season...hope there's some more good ones to come. |
 |
| not bad but not great either... I neve read the manga or saw the previous anime, so I'm clueless. let's see how this will turn out |
    |
| Hmm..I liked it. A fresh new idea imo and the characters are pretty interesting. Pretty good. |
     |
| Pure Kazuki Akane series so far : great animation, very original plot involving protagonists from different worlds trying to know and interact with each other, very solid characterization (with a love triangle of course) and on top of that a perfect direction. Oh and the Afromania ending made my day too ;) |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| did anyone notice the rosen maiden dolls? |
| Good first episode, nice looking action, and Birdy is hot. Easily the best thing I've seen from the summer shows so far. |
| it was okay, kept me entertained and interested. |
    |
| I almost like everything of Tetsuwan Birdy Decode : the BGM , the (great) animation ,the fights and for the beginning the story wasn´t bad ,too. |
| Loved the episode, can't wait for more. Birdy is a really cool fighther. Animation was ok but the story apeals more to me. Also cool enemys O_o |

| I really enjoyed it! The story's decent, the characters are very likable, and the music's great. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| Mmm, seems quite promising so far. Definitely looking forward to the next episode. OP and ED are good too. ;) |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| Loved the episode, nice fighting, and especially nice BGM. OP and ED were great, too. Best first episode of the season until now. |
| I sat through the first 2 minutes and thought that it would be another shitty anime. then the OP started and I was intrigued. Another 10 minutes I was taken in by the art. It was good. Then the action caught me by surprised. I was pleased. After 17 minutes the story took an unexpected turn. I'm sold! |
  |
| Not a bad first episode. Liked the animation, the ED was pretty good too; better than the OP at least. |
| This episode is pretty good, and I really enjoy it. Great animation and character designs. I like the characters. Birdy is hot. :) I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
| A good first episode, I'm liking the characters already especially y Birdy. Action scences were well done. It's pretty funny for the heroine to kill the main guy and should be interesting to see them sharing the same body... don't know how thats going to work out... conflict in genders and all... not to mention she is an alien. |
| don't know if it was because i was streaming it or not, but it seemed really jittery to me, like they were only drawing every other frame or something. |
| Pretty good start but it really freaked me out when i realized i had already seen something like that. xD I just didnt remember i saw the OVA like years ago n_n So if i had doubts on watching it now they're gone :D |

| I can't exactly remember why I started watching this. The character designs and synopsis were mildly interesting, I guess. I watched the first episode not expecting much, but it was OK, so I decided to stick with it. Early on it was dangerously close to being a monster-of-the-week or just dumb, but it got better. Though I must say, Birdy's suit is a little... questionable for a galactic police officer. Personally I'd prefer something with a little more protection, but I suppose the abilities it gives her make up for that. |

| first episode is ok, 3/5 |
| Great first episode! |
 |
| Seems good. =O |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Not bad so far. It wasn't what I originally hoped but it flows along well. Heh, that ending was funny. That awkward moment when you realize your body is shared with a .... |
 |
| OK this seems interesting Nice animation, pretty good music On to the next episode. |
