THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So I watched the first episode already, even though it's in raw format, and I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed, and look forward to the second episode. If you haven't seen it yet, look it up on ANN. The site that promotes this anime is streaming it for free to promote the live-action movie as well. The first episode in a nutshell, is that the singer actually wants to be a pop star, but he's way more popular as a metal singer. He gets mad that he's singing an original song and some cover band of his DMC band is playing a song that HE wrote and getting a huge crowd. Everything else after, well, it's mayhem by accident. |

SilentOne said: I really hope the sub groupls pick this up..I mean how can they not? Couldn't say. There's a few people requesting various groups to sub it since it's only 12 minutes long. The raw has been out for a very long time, and I have to admit it's kind of irritating to say I've watched it, but can't actually put it on the list. |

The DVD with the entire "series" comes out this Friday. Probably waiting until then. Plus, you're going to need to find a translator with a horribly filthy, depraved vocabulary beyond the limits of what most mortal men are capable of. MY MAL TRIBUTE TO KRAUZER II |

That won't be too hard. A friend's boyfriend is super into the manga, and while not fluent, she's a metalhead herself so she was able to figure out the whole episode. I'm sure we've got some super hardcore translators out there. |

They're just a heavy metal band, but in the first episode we of course learn that the lead singer is tired of it, and wants to go acoustic. However, it's just not going to happen since no one wants to hear that. |

Heavy, hard, yes - but not this mindless crap. The concept is interesting though, I'm kinda looking forward to the series now. Go Ureshii~ 6/10 |

JTSlayer said: Very cool, just like the manga. Go to DMC!!! It was an almost direct translation of the manga, the only difference being the order of events. It even felt like a really fast slide of the boxes in the comic, which was probably the idea. Absolutely fantastic. Can't wait for more episodes in the series. Can't wait to see Krauzer-san's legendary Demon Jewel animated. |

8/10 I'm speechless. Introduction to , what I hope, best adult comedy in years. Dialogues and scenes are hillarious. |

I'm really curious how far the 24 episodes are going to go. Presumably, it will cover the entire first volume and Negi obtaining the Karth guitar, the second volume featuring his face-off against the indie bands, and maybe the entire Satanic Emperor arc, with the exclusion of the other stuff from Volumes 3 and 4. That doesn't lead to any type of satisfying conclusion, but hopefully, if it does well, they'll have a second season in another year or two. |

Topics merged. Just realized that the first episode people watched was the special. So I merged the episodes and the discussion for the actual first episode is here. Let me know if there's something wrong. |

I'm sorry, but I couldn't get into it. I think it was mostly what he was singing about, its distasteful -- not funny at all. I gave it a 1, it was hard as heck to sit through and now I know not to give the series a try. Only some twisted and messed up teens could enjoy this show. |

lol i didn't knew EP 1 and the special are the same... well, I think I'll give it a 7/10 |

Weird. Finally got to watch the special today, even though i've already watched the first half of the series. Even if i've seen it before, it's still epic! gave it 10/10. |

Well, it was exactly the same as the beginning of the regular OVA, so nothing new for me. Still very enjoyable, actually fun as hell. Gets a 7/10 for repeating stuff. |

Would've been better if it wasn't all clips ripped directly from the series. Nothing new. |

The special aired before the series. The series took scenes from the special and stretched them out over the first three episodes. |

I'm really glad I watched this before I started the series. It looks like an awesome show especially after just finishing up a marathon of Beck. The part where he becomes Krauser II in the shop was priceless. Anyway, off to watch the show. |

JLS said: Only some twisted and messed up teens could enjoy this show. Sorry, but you are thoroughly wrong. Maybe this sort of comedy isn't for everyone, but for those that understand it or have developed a sense of humour that accepts it, it is one of the funniest shows around. 10/10 |
