Confucius said: What the heck just happened!? Exactly. I heard this series was confusing and wow, that first episode made me go like o_O the whole time. Confusing, yet intriguing. I kind of got a headache from trying to focus and piece things together >< at least I know that it gets better :) |
| I have no idea wth just happened but it was awesome, as others have said it felt like I was watching a movie. Animation is stellar, action was great and I'm personally just loving the feel of this anime so far. I can definitely see this being one of my new top animes 5/5 for me. |
 |
| Quite confusing but at the same time intriguing, can't wait to see where it goes. I want to know what's up with the guy with the closed eyes and from him to hurry up and open them lol. Sick ending. |
| I'm liking it already, it has a cyberpunk feel to it |
 |
| I wonder what will be Pino's role in this series... Somehow she caught my attention :-) |
 |
| It's a bit dark. Hard to see what's going on in a lot of scenes. Animation was stellar overall though. |
| I am important. I have a girlfriend. Check out my podcast |
| This is going to be a bit hard to get through. |

Boba_Fett said: Interesting start of this Anime, didn't know what to expect other than it would be played in the future! I hope the story will catch up soon and will be interesting! From this first episode I don't see any high hopes for this Anime but I think it can work out well in the end! You are a walking contradiction. |
Matenrou said: Agreed.So... I just watched the first episode after hearing lots of positives about this anime. Umm it was interesting and quite confusing, the "monster" that attacked in the end with the laughing face and tear was not what I was expecting. Lots of questions already, I can tell this will be worth wile. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Was told this was a great watch. So far I have not been dissapointed. And having Paranoid Android as the ED? Brilliant! |

| Is the voice of vincent the same as tenma from monster ? :3 |
| Oh god I nearly died of boredom. I'll give this one more episode and if I still don't like it I'm dropping it. I usually don't like action anime but since this one is so popular I thought I'd give it a try... EDIT: Up to ep 8 now and it's getting pretty good. I'm glad I didn't decide to drop it after 1 episode. |

| i get little bits, but for the most part yeah im confused ;/ but its only the first episode and even though i didn't know what exactly was going on all the time, i was engrossed and that was a great first episode, amazing visuals! and radiohead as ED well.... need i say more if that isn't a reason to watch the next episode i don't know what is, glad i decided to finally pick this one up looks promising! |
| Like the series so far . . . Actually not the biggest fan of post-apocalyptic settings however this is pretty interesting. Also that Vincent guy is up to no good . . . |
 |
| seems interesting enough |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| I think i have a crush for Real. |
 |
| wow, that was a bit unusual. But pretty interesting, it reminds me of Lain and Ghost in the Shell. And the Ending is a song from Radiohead!! how awesome. Definitely im gonna see this show. |
 |
| 1. A bit confused like every1 here. Liked the intense/dark tones. Anime eyes aren't freakishly huge 2. Had to brighten my tv to see all those dark scenes. 3. English dub is very good. Megan Hollingshed voices Re-I well 4. The way the show is presented in such darkness… it's a little hard to want to like the characters. Barely any emotion is shown. 5. Well, it has my interest for now. thank god there's a very good english dub 5/10 |
| Wow...just wow. Heard good things about it, but didn't expected it to be this engaging. And Re-I looks to be a really interesting character. 5/5 |

| I'm not exactly sure what's going on but that was good XD! |

| The animations are done very well. Some of the scenes were a little too dark. |

| Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a problem. |
| Ok looks interesting. |
  |
| Initial impression: this is boring as shit it started to pick up around the end, so I'll push through. |
| Animation is awful. Tooooooooooooooo 3d, it looks just bad. First episode was boring, but I will continue watching it. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Hahaha, I was not expecting the ending theme to be performed by Radiohead. |
| Well my thoughts are with pretty much everyone else on this episode: Great art. Confusing, yet intereting plot. Holy fucking shit that was Radiohead playing at the end. |
| I love the "WTF is going on" feeling specific to NGE/RX/Lain etc. my body is ready for this series |
| After watching anime like Steins Gate and Code Geass, not knowing wtf's going on in the first episode is a sign that the show's gonna be absolutely amazing. Have extremely high hopes for this show. The animation was great, and the setting looks really grim and interesting. Looking forward to watching this |
| A nice first episode. I don't like the main character though, she annoys me. It's interesting how there are those robots and there is something against immigrants. I think those monster like things are probably just messed up robots. The city's atmosphere is interesting, it reminds me of Texhnolyze, but it's not as impressive as it. |
 |
| I little bit hard to understand, but I'm excited to see what this anime have to offer |
 |
VanishingKira said: Reminds me of Texhnolyze and Serial Experiments Lain (both of which I thought were great),so expecting alot from this. Always felt they seemed like a trilogy of sorts (though Ergo Proxy wasn't created by ABe). Get ready to either hate or love it. |
 |
| This was excellent. It's pretty that I'm hooked after just the first episode and here I was already hooked after the intro. The awakening kinda reminded me of Akira. This must have been one of the best first episodes I have seen. |
 |
| Will continue watching. I am enjoying the darkness of it. The mysterious mood and tone. There's definitely and underlying creep factor going on. The art is pretty nice. Re-l is a really cool character so far as I can tell. |
| Criptic first episode. Right now I'm kinda neutral about it. Nice atmosphere,, though. |
| I love the atmosphere of this show. I'll definitely continue. |

| This anime has a GitS feel to it. I like it. That ED though... I think I've found an unskippable one. |
 |
| Even as I watch this a second time, I have to rewind it a lot. Youre fed so much information in every episode. If you arent concentrating for 30seconds, you are guaranteed to miss something important. Gotta make sure to read and understand every bit of dialogue. And its more difficult to catch important information that is only given by visual. So if you get confused along the way, but still enjoy the series, I recommend rewatching it later down the road. |
~my list
| im interested now lol |
| I would love every 1st episode to be so interesting like this one. |
| Most impressive first episode i have ever seen, the sci-fi universe look so deep and interesting, the art, design animation and even camera angle are perfect and awesome ! |
