| I was hoping for KOTOKO to sing the opening rather than Faylan... |
| I will prove to you that I am the supreme ruler of Heaven! Maoh Shakumesujin! |
| Gonna keep watching, but i feel it could be much much better |
| The pace that they're going at is a lot faster than I expected. They've pretty much covered a handful of the basics; after wrapping this up, all they have to do now is just provide the important exposition from the relevant perspectives and we're basically set to jump right into the Continuum Shift arc(s). Honestly, I was kind of hoping they would've taken their time a bit more and focused the entire adaptation on the Calamity Trigger arc(s), especially if the adaptation is set to be twelve-ish episodes or so. If it's going to be that short, everything's going to be REALLY rushed, considering the content that's at hand. Everything feels like it's just fan-service for the people that were fans from the game adaptation, getting into the Blazblue via the Anime feels pretty flawed and might even ruin the experience for newcomers, personally. EDIT: Though admittingly, if we do get content involving Tsubaki, they had better not fuck up her theme. Condemnation Wings = <3. |

Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| My advice would be to play the games first.. you don't have to play all, I think Calamity Trigger is enough to give you a basic idea of what's happening. The story in the game itself is already very confusing, I don't think 12 episodes can do enough justice especially with the amount of characters that's vital to the story. |

| wait isn't that Gintoki? cool action |
 |
| Aaaaaand ACTION! The end. Explain? Something? Anything? |
| The backgrounds are extremely dull especially when you compare them to the brilliant art in the games. Very disappointing, the show overall looks lackluster. The action scenes were relatively well done though. |
Racaholic said: the action scenes were the worst part by a longshot, the choppy movement to derpy art, and to top that off with a shit ton of stills, it doesnt matter how much you shake them hoods, they are still just stillsThe backgrounds are extremely dull especially when you compare them to the brilliant art in the games.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I did not expect anything good from that director or studio, yet I'm still disappointed. I feel sorry for people who got excited about this. |
| It felt really rushed. The art was fine, but the animation wasn't. At least the music is okay. I'm seriously thinking about dropping it. |
| Horrible first episode. I haven't played the games (but I am interested from it's character design and story potential). This episode didn't do anything for me in regards to establishing characters or plot. It seriously felt like you had to play the games to know what the hell was going on. The animation was pretty bleh as well. Overall, I'd say all this episode did is reinforce the stereotype that you can't adapt a video game into an anime very well. |

At least not with some pretty new and unexperienced studio and director known for bad stuff. I mean, it's a fighting game, they could give it to a studio that would at least do some justice to fight scenes. |

This project needs to be handled by one of the bigger companies, like Production I.G., Madhouse, or Bones. Hoods has no business adapting this. |

Oh boy, if it was made by one of these, I'd be more than happy. I just hope this anime won't make people think the game is bad too. Fighting games adaptations must be cursed in some way. Too bad Ishiwatari didn't approve Guilty Gear adaptation back when he had offers for it. I wonder if it'd be any good. I wonder how mad is he now, seeing this terrible adaptation of BB. |
PRxStarChild said: Another Bad Adaption of a Good Game Series for the Season. Examples of this: -DaganRoppa -DS2 -Persona Trinity Soul -DMC3 -.Hack Trinity Soul was an original story and the DMC anime did not adapt DMC3. Please do not be including non-adaptations in your list of bad adaptations. (DeSu 2 is horrific, though, I will agree on that.) |
 |
| Fine, I guess.So this time it's a heterochromic Sugita. |
symbv said: I have a feeling that those who has not played the game (like me) would find things going too fast and not clear. What game??? yeah its not clear for me, the first 2 mins i don't know what's happening. but Awesome first episode, Ragna is badass with perfect OST. Looking forward for more. |
| Haven't checked out the game, but this was really good and interesting At least much better than Devil Survivor 2 The location setting looks attractive and the characters too with that Meow glutton Hope it tells the story well with only 12 episodes |
| This anime, just from the designs, really screams its a battle anime. I love that the story starts with the supposedly "bad guy" is the protagonist. Kinda hard to understand what is going on since I haven't played the game... but will watch for more. Also for Noel!!! |

| This was kinda hilarious, in a bad way. The fights were so bad. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| This anime for a first episode is not very good. The animation was very bland, the usage of colors seems very dull, the effects of the attacks just really didn't stand out. Along with the sound effects of the in the fights was either nonexistent or just didn't put enough emphasis of how strong the each characters attacks are. The pace of the anime is questionable, though somewhat understandable seeing that this is only get 12 episodes, so taking the core parts of the story is only thing that put into these type of format. Still, it didn't seem like a good choice of scenes or events in the way this blazblue has been placed, there some parts of the episode like ragna going from the girl from the kaka clan to saya scenario seems fine but in other parts like going from ragna dying in a so called final battle to the vampire girl saying "Oh this happened" didn't seem to feel right. As in all animes, I've watched I'll be watching them through, hopefully it gets with each episode. |
CalamityO said: i love guilty gear but unlike what BB did with continuum shift, guilty gear's story is absolute garbage, its so convoluted and the creators actually admit that they were writing it as it went along while with BB they have a road map.Haven't seen the anime yet. However I'm not surprised a lot of the story line is some what improvised - that's what I'm getting from reading the comments. Funny enough, the game that would have made a transition from a game to anime would have actually been Guilty Gear. See the video, to see what I mean. And no it was never made in to an anime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPqQl9yLOnc And for the ones that don't know. Blaz blue is the spiritual successor to the Guilty Gear fighting games. Guilty gear only had 1 game with a story that wasnt a disjointed mess and its the abomination known as guilty gear overture which we should continue ignoring its existence |

| Loveddddddd, but I just kept on feeling like Ragna wound start talking about JUMP or something because he has the same voice actor as Gintoki! |
| I have been hearing about the game for years now so i decided to take a look at this but wasn't to found of this episode. It's a bit to action packed for me, and i know it's still the first episode but for now the characters appeared a bit shallow and not very interesting. The surroundings and character design on the other hand looked pretty good. I will give it a few more episodes and see how it turns out. |
| Eh, this wasn't that bad. But it wasn't amazing, either. I avoided confusion because I've played the series up to Continuum Shift EX, but I can see why newbies wouldn't understand a thing. |
|
| It was quite confusionary honestly ... I didn't play the game so I don't know what is going on. It's clearly aimed at fans of the game. Anyway, I will keep watching it. The VAs are really amazing, Sugita Tomokazu for example. |
 |
| I enjoyed it, but I agree that it is definitely aimed at fans of the game. When Blazblue first came out I thought it would be awesome if there was an anime. So it is cool to finally see it happening. I am curious if they are planning on adapting CS also, as someone else said on here. Considering it shows all the characters from that game as well. Hoping to see some Platinum and Mu-12. >_< |

Did not expect to see them in the credits. There is a lot to cover in CS though. Will be interesting to see what they focus on. If people are confused now, they will definitely be confused later on if they only show certain parts of the story. |
| Interesting start I hope full cast ends up being here here bc i do like the 2 games i have played so far cant remember there names though. |
 |
| Liked it but I guess it's mainly because I played the games. It's awesome to see all the characters animated. Ragna ftw! |
 |
| Pretty bad.. but w/e. Is it just me, or does green haired guy remind anyone of Gin from Bleach. Also, the Blonde resembles Accelerator. (Facial expressions and talking) |

Akanezora said: It was quite confusionary honestly ... I didn't play the game so I don't know what is going on. It's clearly aimed at fans of the game. Yes. This is basically a fanservice for those people who played the game. Anyone could tell given how the storyline is awfully terrible. I played BB but incompletely(Didn't really get hooked to it). |
 |
| This is really good so far, better than I expected. Lots of very intriguing characters. |
| Fight scenes weren't as 'good' as I was expecting but still enjoying it. Noel~ Kinda feel they're trying too hard with the BGM. |
| I would say the animation in here is not that bad and the characters are okay from the start. I only watched this for the story even though I haven't played the game. I sort of lost track of the story so I have to repeat some scenes again and ost was kind of decent imo. Overall it is a decent start but I hope they don't like throw everything that is important one episode at a time. |
| lol wow I didn't expect to see so much hate for the animation. I don't know if it's because I kept my expectations low, but I really didn't think it looked that bad. Jin's ice looked horrendous though. Was also a little disappointed to see them reusing scenes in the opening :[ Anyway I've only played a little of the game (basically most of what was in this episode), but man did it feel rushed. It wouldn't surprise me if the whole series is like that too, but we'll see. |
 |
| Not very clear from the perspective of someone who has not played the game.. I am sooo not used to Gintoki's voice in another body, so whenever Ragna speaks, it looks painful because it doesn't seem like the voice belongs to him XD the seiyuu is awesome anyway~ I wanted to play the game but couldn't so when I heard that it was getting some sort of adaptation, I was thrilled, but... I had ????? most of the times.. |

| I've played the game and a fan of it, i'd say this adaptation is pretty decent. So far they're followed the story line quite well. But from an average standpoint, i'd say this was rushed, you'll be confused everytime new characters appear out of nowhere. Anyway, good to hear Tomokazu Sugita's voice as Ragna in the adaptation as well. I'll be sure to follow this. Yep. PS: Rachel is so cute here. <3 |
