If anyone would check out my first impressions video I would really appreciate it. I tried quite hard editing this video so any comments would be grateful!

Sakurai Takahiro sure voice many white-haired antagonist!

I don't like the OP, feel too much like a game OP, but this is the anime.

But it looks like good! I actually want to play the game now! :)

Looks really nice for a first episode. Liked OP and ED a lot and the three main characters seem okay. I really like it more when Kamiya Hiroshi voices nice characters, reminds me of Natsume. And wtf, the girl wasn't really useless lol, okay well the avatars didn the work though, but at least they only exist because of her :P xD
I don't know the game and I probably never will, so I guess I'll just keep watching anime and leave it at that. One of the handsome characters in this show share my friggin birthday, yay, how long I've waited for this orz

Oh my god, I sense tension building up with each episode, Hibiki steals the girl's heart and Daichi probably will be angry *nodnod* I hate stuff like that *headesk*

Wow. That just. Exceeded my expectations. This is the kind of anime I really like. I just. Really, really liked this episode. The character designs are great, and so is the music.

I can't wait for next week.

Thinking on it, what direction will this be going in? More into the pure action, or will it delve into mystery and horror as well? Well, I don't think there will be much horror though, which in a way is a disappointment.

Liking that ED, it was way calmer than I expected and then it got into some rock, but I really like the beginning of it. As for the show itself, it's pretty good, ill see how it goes from now on since I haven't played the games, nor do I know anything about what is going to happen.

Oh yeah do that thing Inaba :P. Anyway, mostly enjoyable episode but main characters really bore me so far. Not diggin' the OP, ED yet. Will hopefully like them more once I've heard them a few more times.

any anime needs a main heroine which is useless and got a big... welll. potencials.


How was she useless? her demons were the ones that did the most to save them, firstly down in the station and she also saved Daichi from the truck and during that whole bit with the other demon her demon shielded them. I would say shes far from useless, Daichi has done less but he is not useless either.

well, it was done by her demon, yes. that's it. it's not her accomplishment. and i just get that feeling, that she'll whine for the whole series.

That's actually the first thing I LOL'ed at... cuz I don't recall him actually wearing the hood on his head in the game and always thought they were antennae like the hero of the first Devil Survivor's headphones.

/that aside though as someone who's played (but hasn't had the time to beat) the game I have to say I applaud them with their attempts at making Hibiki actually "stand out" in the anime with showing how his "demon summoning app" had a delayed download (and here I was going "LOL, is his wireless speed THAT BAD" )
but then ended up summoning badass Byakko

Cuz in the game, there is way more development on the "first day" for Io & Daichi and....they actually stood out more for me (in the game) compared to Hibiki.

But so yeah, this ep crammed & rushed quite alot if you compare it to the game.....but it's not a bad adaptation so far despite that.

I personally cannot be impressed by boob physics since I saw Highschool of the Dead. Those bullet dodging boob physics were so grandiose that I fear I shall never see anything that compares to that again.

What can I say I loved this first episode. I never played the game but I must say the anime makes me want to. Great GCI though there was some WTF moments like the ice cream and the demon. I liked the OP and ED.

Ok, i can deal with the fact that they made Hibiki have a main powerful demon, that makes sense, but the fact that the cut out a death clip(which are very important to the story, and the death clip in question introduces Makoto more to the MC) and the fact that Joe wasnt introduced really bugs me. Great animation and closing song/animation though, opening song seemed too happy for me. i give it 6/10
i did like the fairy scene though

and to do with the comments about P4, i liked the way p4's first ep came out, at least they didnt remove a whole character(could technically be two(Makoto)) from the equation.

Maybe....
I never got around to finishing the game but I sorta think there was a little hints of it here and there.
So little that it wasn't really tied to the plot far as I recall and could be easily cut.....so....for the anime it's a 'maybe'.....

Thought Daichi was a goner. That guy is bro-tier. Got his drivers licence recently and then tried to run over a demon with a truck using himself as a sacrifice.

I don't know who to ship now. Daichi may end up getting NTR'd.

Great episode, slightly rushed, Character interaction between Nitta and the guys weren't all that great, but still giving it 4/5. Will continue for the foreseeable future < Pun intended.

It was nice but they should stick a bit more to the game, I played it and I loved it so I didn't like that they rushed the first day and missed important points, but they gotta fit everything into 13 chapters (wild guess) so it makes sense but it's disappointing.

I wonder how they'll introduce Joe now that they skipped him <_<

I didn't like the op/ed songs but I did like the animation.

Despite the rushing I'm looking forward to it, I hope they don't ruin it but my beloved Yamato makes up for any fault <3

Loving this already. I've played the first one on the DS and the 3DS version. And I played second one on the DS and planning on getting the 3DS version when it's localized to the US. I fell in love with this series when I played the first game.
The first episode was well-done, the animation looks great, the OP and ED are awesome, a bit nit-picky with Hibiki's voice but it's still good, etc.
In the opening, I recognized some of the character poses on this:

And the bunny girl AI, Tiko, keeps her signature pose:

The only bad thing I have with this is Joe not appearing earlier, but that's it. Nothing too serious.
5/5

Edit: Can't wait for the Anguished One's/Al Saiduq's appearance and I hope the anime adaption will go with the Anguished One's/Al Saiduq's ending.

I knew it was gonna be cut down a lot to fit in the allotted time, but damn it's still so good...I squealed like a crazy fan-girl.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be a bit more graphic than all the other previous animated SMT titles, since they showed demons eating people, and a demon's head being lopped clean off in the first episode.
