The second episode is out. Hmm so I guess the show has some battle mechanics and items like that Strike Ring.

Feels like Ren transformed into a different person after using it.
Heh, the battle itself was pretty fast...and I gotta admit, that Strike Shot looks pretty damn legit. Easy victory.

I think Oragon has a thing for Aoi...

Gives me the feelings Ive missed in anime since Oreca Battle Dragon Collection ended except with a slightly older lead character and one who is a bit more heroic than about GUTS.

Oragon is a fantastic monster while Ren is a perfect lead. I like all the little things with the battle the most and the posing and word overlay going on. Also the sound effects, they are good.

i like it as a short actually. lesser chance to make mistakes, and keeps things fresh in the sense of not getting too bored if things drag.

Dat Missile Kick tho... waifu material xD

Yes, it's based on a game. Monster Strike is on iOS and android that you can download right now if you wanted to, but it's mainly the monsters only. Also coming out on Nintendo 3DS in Japan, this time with the anime's characters with a more RPG gameplay.

Side note: The anime, the trailer, and the prologue in the 3DS game, all have inconsistent introductions for some reason. The anime has him meeting Oregon on the rooftop battling a salary man. The trailer has him in Shibuya meeting Oregon on street level. And the 3DS game trailer has him meeting Oregon in his bedroom.

As for this episode, I'm liking the series so far. Characters seem interesting, and Oregon is cute. Not that this makes me want to play it anymore.

If you plan to start the game, I definitely recommend playing the Japanese version! The English version is different in alot of different ways. The 3DS game looks like it'd be good too.

And the game (phone) is sort of parallel to anime, so if you use the clues in the anime to solve a riddle, you get stuff from the anime in the game version too.

I really wish this was a full length show! It's so amusing. I really like Aoi too.

I dig everything in this show especially the artstyle, but the girl ruined my enjoyment a bit.

I got into this show by my friend showing me the ED. This is now one of my favorite shows of the season. I regret nothing.

Really liking the humor so far, got me chuckling here and there. So Ren seems to get his memories back when he has the ring on and is playing Monster Strike, pretty interesting I guess.

Missile Kick! Nice entrance, Aoi!

Ren's different personality was cool. Interesting way to end the battle.
