I'm kinda in the middle of this show.

The story was alright, but I'm not a huge fan of the CG. There's also so much else going, that it got confusing. Still I'll give this show another try and just see what next week brings.

the only problem with visual is most of time, the movement is not bland with background. other than that it's not problem at all. but the character is really piss me off. wtf? everyone in this series feel like asshole. not gonna touch this. sorry. dropped.

I was not planning to watch this at all, I'm glad I changed my mind. I loved the music & the story. This has so many potentials imo. It's my first CGI anime & I like it and I hope it stays this way

That was 10x better than I thought it'll be, the story is interesting, the characters are meh so far and the CGI was actually pretty awesome. I mean it wast unwatchable and at times it didn't actually seem like CG to me. Hopefully it continues with this and becomes even better.

The 3DCGI looks like it could work, but they should work better on the animation of the stuff. It looked off at times, most noticeable when they were running. The characters, though, are just above the insufferable level. I don't like using the word, but edgy is the best way to describe pretty much everyone other than the main, his dad and his mom.

Very interesting story.

I'm also curious as to what happened to his dad and sister, oh and what his mother did while she was all alone on that floating island.

Looks like there'll be a ton of action here, with the full-CG

The beginning is good, the only thing that actually can be discussed is the graphics, the rest is all a bit confusing, and the thing that you can appreciate, in addition to the graphics, is the choreography of the fighting and the sets. Overall it's all big-time, even though I'm not a fan of FullCG.

the animation feels off sometimes but it is bearable. the first half like many pointed out was really good. the second half however was meh...
hoping they improve and it gets better. I do not mind when the mc is cowardly at first (character development later on) but should somehow still be appealing. Azuma was quite boring and i ended up being more interested in the other characters as they showed up.
hoping the next few episodes are much better

not bad all these CG shows normally give me rash but I liked the plot enough to ignore my irritation.

i do wonder why its only 13-15 year old kids that have the mind and guts to set the world right in their universe.
i don't know what the adults are doing but for now they aint Sh*t

CGI was pretty fugly. Idk why people were praising it, wasn't even half as good as Arpeggio of Blue Steel.

Story has potential though. Curious as to how his cunt sisters powers used on Oubu caused all of the Buranki to go berserk.

Gotta love how fucking stupid everyday society must be in this world, where a buranki falls into the ocean and somehow it can be twisted into a mass murder and people believe it.

I hope his cunt sister died, I really do. What a shit character. Treats her brother like trash (meanwhile she's like 5 years old when she's doing this too). Had that little speech about controlling Oubu and killing all the buranki like a psycho. All of this shit came out of a toddlers mouth. On top of that she's the entire reason why their mom presumably died.

If she's not dead I hope she became a villain and MC will go against her.

Actually I think that would make for a half decent story. The mom made that last minute plea about them holding hands and staying together so they could overcome anything...but then they were separated.

This anti-buranki police force or whatever seems hell bent on destroying them and controlling bubuki power. Without any guidance, and with the right persuasion from say the red-haired chick, (who "changed history" 10 years ago right when they fell from the sky) Kaoruko could have easily joined up with that side; especially if the dad is MIA. Meanwhile she ends up being swayed to this anti-buranki side due to her hatred for them and self-guilt, and ends up facing off against MC who still believes in his mothers words and believes in Oubu and bubuki powers.

I loved the bubuki hand (forget its name but it is so cute hahahaha)

Cool ED, nice hollywood sfx. Beautiful bg paintings. CG ok, like improved Ronja style. Vfx & short fights are quite cool, + ost gives that tense pacing.
Characters don't care for yet but interesting where's his sis & dad.
Kind of random stuff, elevator? Prison downstairs?...
Cowboy nice voice.
So we're waiting for Azuma's bubuki & mum's Oubu.

Pretty meh.

People keep saying this is really unique... but it doesn't really seem to be unique.

Kids with bullshit magic powers and special weapons, check. Whiny as hell main lead, double check. Kids who look like they got dressed in the dark fighting the evil government check. Generally poor characters (the sister is one of the most annoying tsundere's I've seen in awhile), check.

This has all the issues people pointed out with Final Fantasy 13. They just say words. "Oh my god, let's revive mum's Oubu with my Bubuki and fight the Baranki!" People only think this show is unique and mysterious because it didn't try and explain anything but to me that just makes it a clusterfuck.

Looks like one of the most generic shows I've seen. Don't really expect anything from this.

It's kinda interesting how the creators of media with "obvious CGI" never quite get the animations of movement right. It's always a little off and seems weird. Doesn't matter what series, game, movie, etc. you look at. I wonder why that is. I mean anime studios which produce series which still look a lot more like actually drawn(I highly doubt there is any studio left that doesn't use certain techniques for certain things) manage to make it look natural, too. Companies which don't go for that CGI look in general manage to make it look natural or at least more natural than the other companies.

I really wonder why it is like this(not in a bad way. It's really just curiosity).

B2T: The abilities and general animation looks nice. The setup is a bit weird but I hope they'll explain a few things later on. VA's are nice.

Let's see what they make with this.

Holy crap! unique animation, but sound effects are wicked sick, but I don't know about the plot on how it goes because of Source: "Original".

What happened with Kaoruko? I was hoping we would see her with him after the 10 years but it was not what happened....maybe she is in the dark side...

Poor dad is getting ignored by everyone. The unrewarding job of a parent.
But seriously I have no clue what is going on and whatever those things are.
My girlfriend is convinced that she understands what is going on so I guess we aren't dropping it yet. Here is hoping it improves.

Seemed decent enough, but the CG was pretty bad. I've seen worse, but CG anime overall tends to look crappy and this is no exception. I wish companies would stop doing this already. It would be like making a black & white film in this day and age and not trying to be artsy.

So at first I thought it was gonna be a whole episode with the obvious ending of dead mother, but then we get thrown 10 years into the future without any real idea what's going on. Can't say I'm a fan of that.

Finally decided to sample this episode after seeing a post about it elsewhere, and I really enjoyed this pilot episode. I was VERY impressed with the CGI. I almost couldn't tell it was CGI; it took me a few minutes to confirm. This may be the first time that CGI hasn't turned me off from an anime.

this anime is really underrated

this anime is where you want to waiting just in complete edition because the tightened pace and content with many character is very confusing at first,but if you just watch it in 1/ONE GO!,it's amazing experience ever offered by watching an anime

can't wait for season 2

Do MC dye their hair colour in anime when they get older? His sister had blue hair..and it would be hard to recognize her.

Well I'm not too sure though it's quite possible..
I dropped the show, so I have no idea if my assumption was correct.

In fact I have never watch shows where the MC changes hair color, except for hair style sometimes.
