| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, that was actually more fun than I had thought. It reminded me of zvezda somewhat but the action was great. It didn't waste any time at all either with that whether it's the action of the superhero like gimmicks. Overall, a decent start. Kosaka's a cutie. Some of the bikes looks fairly well illustrated imo. Some of the characters' eyes looks weird though. |
 |
| Reminds me kinda of kill la kill animation was cool and the maccha vs shigyo fight was awesome |
| Did i miss something ? Is there something before this ? I'm confuse about the story. But animation is awesome, and Mosa fight too. |
 |
| I'd say it's near impossible NOT to be reminded of Kill la Kill. I'm definitely not entirely sure what's going on "in story" yet, but the show has definitely made me curious. I'm guessing those heart stones are what give the "bests" their powers. Nozomi didn't feel like much of a MC here though, I wonder if she'll be thrust into it by having something bad happen to her sister... |
| Quite the colourful start! The Mosa and the Mob difference is pretty nice. The Mob's only job is to be blasted away xD This was rather enjoyable with all those overreactions and its silliness. Such as the robot being in hyper mode already. Seems like a fun one already! |
 |
| for some reason i lost interest in it while watching... |
| Not bad I think, I will watch it. Art is beautiful. Almost no 3d!!! Just wow. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Im still kinda confused but i really liked it. But why were the higashi people even allowed to be in the maccha greens' town and amusement park?? |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| Crazy, colorful and really fun. The animation for the fighting was ridiculous and everything else looks so fluid as well. Besides the premise, we got to see hints about a couple of relationships and glimpses at of most of the characters, but its only episode one so story discussion can wait, but they have set some things up. Episode 1 was awesome and can't wait to meet the others. |
| Will Maccha Green save the day? Oh it feels like one of those superheroes show which something evil happened and someone will save them, etc. Okay, umm I was really expecting the anime to be a slice of life of girls riding on bikes, being cool and all, but damn what a freaking episode! Flashy battles, over-exaggerated action, and some funny and moe moments to make up this entire episode. I don't really know the story will work out, but I'm guessing there are conflicts between prefectures, and there is a group in each that are involved in these conflicts. For now, I'm seeing some interactions from Nozomi and very few on Yukino. Nozomi is cute, and her voice is sweet, like Chiyo from GSNK (both voiced under same VA). It looks like she wants to help Masami. I don't know about the relationship between the two, but I'm guessing a sister-kind. About Yukino, well not much can be seen from her, but I know that she wants to talk to the people of Hiyoshicho Propellers. Heh, she was invited in quickly - is the squad desperate for people to join? Gas-mask-chan is being mysterious, hue. Anyway, a good watch indeed from WIT Studio's new anime. I'm having high hopes for this anime to be great. |
| Weirdest fucking "slice of life" in a loooooong time. And every second was glorious. And dat ost. |
| Pretty good, though weird ^^ |
| haven't seen kill la kill so can't compare but got some pretty heavy flcl nods. Fat cat/vespa kinda cycle/ giant kettle and other things |
| i'm not quite sure what just happened... |
 |
| So basically, Japan is split into perfectures, and there's a president + captain running each perfecture. The "Best" seems interchangeable with the captain, but we'll see more of what it means to be a "Best" and what it means to be a captain (the stone prolly has something to do with it). And fights come up naturally like gang fights, fighting for territory. A pretty interesting premise, although it reminds me of Kill la Kill. A little too flashy to be considered "slice-of-life" but hey it's probably the first slice-of-life with such amazing fighting animation. An okay start. Not mindblowing, but not bad either. |
| Well I sure didn't expect that. Yeah, the Kill la Kill similarities are pretty noticeable, though this isn't ecchi and over-the-top. Should still be a fun ride regardless, we just shall see. The ramen showdown was great, lol. |
  |
| Very confusing as for the first episode. I don't think I quite understand what I just watched? |
| Can somebody help explain the politics of this episode? It was really hard to follow. |
| We need as much lewdness as we can possibly get. ~ Komine Sachi |
| liked the yuri undertones, but the green suit just felt so childish like watching power rangers & the fights lacked intensity... for a slice of life? i will have to humbly decline on this one |
billybob300cJan 10, 2015 12:27 PM
| That was seriously weird. Literally nothing made sense. On top of that, the exposition in the first fight scene was really clumsy and handled awfully. The fight scenes are presented in quite an unusual way. If nothing else, this should end up being quite fun. |
| Honestly I think this is conceptually more interesting than KLK so I'm excited. A lot has happened that will need to be explained but I'm pretty excited, the first episode was better than I expected. I love the color pallete and OST as well. |
| So basically this a a Slice of Life anime about street gangs that are publicly accepted. And that rule small states. Well i have to say it looked interesting and it's not your average anime from how it looks so far. The environment and the drawing style makes me thing of FLCL a bit, and the crazy setting seems to resemble it as well. |
| Oh man, that was so awesome. This show is right up my alley. It's hyper stylistic, brightly colored, fun, well animated, fantastic art, and action packed. The characters were really cool too, and I loved this crazy world they're in. My only issue was that there was so much going on on screen, and the subs were moving so fast, it was hard to read and I felt like I missed a lot when I was reading. Hopefully it'll get dubbed in the future. This is my first 5/5 first episode of the season so far. I cannot wait to see more. |
| Ending song is not bad. |
| This anime is totally the new Kill la Kill, I look forward to the next episode |
| Woah that's pretty fun. i like where this is going. good episode. |
| It was very fun episode. Quirkyness and sillyness is my weak spot, definitely getting Kill la Kill vibes, those fights were so over the top. Waiting for next episode. |
 |
| Its like Kill la Kill and Summer Wars had a child and that child is running for student class president haha This is the same company responsible for attack on titan's anime so I'm really looking forward to how this goes. It is already a new series favorite to me. |
 |
| Wow that was... definitely not what I was expecting at all... Thought it was gonna be another average SoL but this was much better and more fun Good animation, too~ |
| wow gay |
| Brilliant! The art is absolutely amazing, prettiest thing this season so far with only possibly Death Parade to compete with. |
| I pretty much have a soft spot for crazy, colourful worlds and great animation, so yeah I liked it. Lots of potential and it kind of reminds me more of Yozakura Quartet than Kill la Kill. |

| Wow, this is colourful and has great art. I don't really know if i understood the story yet though. Anyone who can help out with a short summary, that would be great. :D |
| People who attended the pre-screening said that the first two episodes are like a huge introduction and the real stuff would start on the 3rd. Would use the three-episode rule here. On the other hand, WIT studio fucking delivered here, love those colorful BGs and dayumm, those over-the-top yozakura-esque animation. Can't wait for the next episode! |
 |
| so this is what happened after the events of kill la kill :V yeah the kill la kill vibes are stronger in this one that was fun looking forward on this one |
| Colourful, funny, I think this anime is going to be pretty awesome. Didn't heard about it before found it on a French website, but I'll follow it. |
 |
| Slice of life yeah right.. this is a hidden gem and if it continues like this, then it will probably be one of my favourites this season. The effects, the animation, pretty much everything was really well done. |
BlueOla said: Considering how bad KLK was, i'd say that's a good sign.I feel like his show is trying to be like Kill la Kill, but fails at it pretty badly. |
| hyper macha robot xD 'roger' this is all so silly xD |
 Fixes to make the Profile more bearable after "the Modern★Profile★Update★★Rip★Profile★" |
| Did I just watch an even more over the top klk ? Really nice on the eyes. all those colours. |
 |
| Is this really a slice of life anime. It has a familar style. There's a lot of world building that needs to be done for this to make sense. |
 |
| Considering the title is Rolling Girls, there was a severe lack of rolling; didn't care much for the fight, would have preferred more motorbike scenes. Wasn't all that engaging to be honest, it definitely has potential with the worldbuilding, vibrant colors and promising characters, but it will have to deliver hard to be good. 3/5. |
| slice of life ... yeaaaaah ... lol. But i was surprisingly pleased with this, that was fun ! Looking forward for more |
 |
| To anyone who didn't understand what was going on, I direct you to pakoko's post. Aversa said: So basically this a a Slice of Life anime about street gangs that are publicly accepted. And that rule small states. I think it's more along the lines of "fighting via representation"; instead of all-out wars, these miniature countries have representatives fight out the conflicts in their stead. It keeps the overall casualties down and still allows for settling strong disagreements. Anyway, it turned out better than I expected. There's plenty of room for a good plot, worldbuilding, and characterization. The fighting scenes were wacky, like something out of a fighting game, but I liked them. (As an aside, I think those moonlight stones are somehow their power source.) The food scene became more humorous as it progressed. It's different. I definitely plan on watching more to see how this turns out. |
