Hmmm, I like the design of the earthlings, but the aliens were so out pf place and random. I can see this show not making much sense and it will probably have a lot of moments where it pulls out random info exposition for plot reason. The MC was alright and I like that girl too. But everything else was meh. Wasn't bad but wasn't great either. I can see this show being mostly episodic which it honestly depends on the overall end goal here.

Too early to say if it's a bad show or not, but it seems very average so far.

I don't understand why the show has gotten so much flak. Maybe it's being compared to the other shows this season (and there are a lot of good ones).

No there aren't, lol! We've had 4 bad seasons in a row and this one has so far been among the worst.

He's a magical girl and from the first episode it seems like his magical power is "to win a fight instantly in whatever way he wants." Ugh.

Challenge: Count how many times characters in this series says ''Chuta'' in this ep

It's just a typical 'bland MC somehow got involved in stuff that he was not supposed to and then revealed that he actually have special powers'
Oh and also female heroine not accepting him at first is pretty typical too.
Boring. His power is boring too.
I'll give it 1 more ep at least.

1- You right, it wasn't deus ex machina. That alien-magic-cat part was just really BAD.

2- So your ¨logic¨ is that if you have already seen lots of bad first episodes that automatically makes this one GOOD? Are you serious?

Let me put this clear, it's fine you can like whatever you want, but that doesn't mean its ok for you tell others that if they didn't like it was because they know nothing about anime, you need to talk about what is that makes this a good show?

Wow, you really want everyone to think you are some obnouxious loud whiner
I think most of these thinks were mediocre. There is no point of getting worked up so much over mediocre anime based on mediocre manga whose mangaka made previously a shitty manga.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Been reading the manga while ago and following it an irregular pace. The OP song fits and well, the characters are a bit gimmicky. Still, I got fun from watching this especially with the Reborn designs.

Granted the animation quality felt kinda average. Misuzu is cute as hell though.
The lewd sensei made me face palm a bit.

From all the introductions and premise, I think first episode was fine. Not too impressive but not too shabby either. Of course, they introduced the sci-fi elements into the story too.





Does this series get better? Because even though it wasn't a bad ep, it was only okay at best imo


As a manga reader I could say... It's similiar as Reborn... gradually it gets better and better. Sadly not Reborn level, but it's readable and lately even pretty interesting. And it's maybe little darker than KHR.

And first chapter of manga was little different. They cemletly deleted scenes with one character - Chips and they tried to make the thing that Misuzu's part of eldlive unnecessarily dramatic. In manga she appered in first scene with Laine.

If you're going to watch it don't look for masterpiece. It'll be okay show, I believe it could get rating around 6 or 7 the most. Anime for sure, because the best parts propably won't get animated.

Hmm an anime about a space police force that hunts down criminals on the planet
Lol thats a lot of people that were just passing by the scene of the arrest

Lol so the Mc has an invisible friend then eh
Though i think Misuzu doesn't think much of the Mc given her expression

Wow the expressions of the cooking club members sure are deadpan
Hmm so this voice certainly exists then and its not the mc's imagination

So the mc would prefer to be alone so that he doesn't bother anyone eh
lol the teachers nickname
wow Misuzu's words are so blunt there

Hmm how is finding out the next head of the Mafia good news i wonder
Hmm so the mc lives above a muffin shop eh
So the Mc has a talent in sewing eh

and up he goes after being teleported lol
Lol the mc's reaction at seeing everyone else

Hmm so ElDlive is the space police force then eh
A intergalactic one to by the looks of it
Hmm so their central computer network is called Mothers eh

Lol yep he's in High earth orbit
Lol a moon shaped alien in a spacesuit
Lol saying that threat when the mc can listen to them

Hmm so Misuzu is also part of the organisation eh
But i guess her harsh words were good enough motivation for the mc
Lol the Mc always lands on his head when he's being teleported

Hmm is it the guy in the coat and hat or the guy with the mask
doubt its the little girl

Lol that was pretty unexpected in that it was the teacher
Lol her true form is even more ugly
Lol the expression of tateyan who was still stuck in her grip

ah so a bad memory like that caused the mc to be withdrawn eh
hmm that was certainly unexpected
That the voice inside of the mc was actually an alien and a rare observer one as well
Hmm so the mc has the power of imagination eh

Hmm that was a great episode and an interesting one
sure it started a bit slow but got better as it went
And i think that both Misuzu and the mc would start trusting each other as the series goes on.

Seems like Takanashi is going full Fairy Tail with the OST for this one, would be nice to be somewhat different though.

Decent stuff, Reborn lite with "Dame Tsuna" Chuta and "Reborn" KugiRie.
We'll see, not too high hopes. Hopefully I'll be surprised.

Great OP song though.

Lolwut at the "Some random guy spoke to me friendly for the first time in a while about going asking if I wanted to go out to bang our karaoke with our hot teacher, so I should go save him." It honestly seemed more like a cry of desperation than a cry of a friend's help.


Yes this was so random. And a 100% unemotional too, I wouldn't even have cared if that character that talked only 3 sentences before would have died. In fact, every character in this episode felt super flat. What's up with these bad character introductions?

There was comedy? D:

Um... I don't know if I should continue to watch elDLIVE. As a former hardcore KHR fan who had fits of laughther from the first 20+ episodes, this anime felt so empty and generic that I can't even believe the same mangaka is behind both stories. She shouldn't have quit the KHR manga, this is nowhere near as good as her previous work :(

I don't understand why the show has gotten so much flak. Maybe it's being compared to the other shows this season (and there are a lot of good ones).
No but because it's being compared to all the old shounen series and their tropes that has been done over and over again. The series offered nothing new, and although that can sometimes be fine, it also has no tension, to stakes, no interesting plot to keep people watching. Let alone the fact that its characters are absolutely uninspired and not a single likeable character.

If you compare it to KHR, the author's previous work, you'll see everything in this shit done better there. KHR had 20 awful episodes yes, but those episodes still had interesting characters (Reborn for example), interesting premise (italian mafia, people with suites fighting over who's gonna be the next boss of the mafia's strongest family), and things to keep people watching despite how bad those episodes were. This show has nothing to make people continue watching, it's just a recycled version of Reborn that's much worse. I mean even if you compare the OPs, there's so much more in Reborn's OP


The 2nd op, which starts adapting the parts where the author started transforming its shitty comedy series into a battle shounen, also had so much hype in it that trumps everything in this show's OP.

Basically there's no reason for anyone who liked this series to watch this over the author's first work, Katekyou Hitman Reborn.

I am a huge fan of Amano, Akira work especially Katekyo Hitman Reborn. The main characters in her animes are someone I can always relate too in this case Chuuta. Like with Katekyo Hitman Reborn, many people felt like it had a poor start (though I liked it personally) and I feel like this anime is getting the same treatment. I can see many people here say that it was an alright episode which is something I can agree with but there are others who are completely shaming this anime. I've read a little of the second episode's thread discussion and people are saying that the episode got a little better. So like Katekyo Hitman Reborn I'm going to wait and see if the series gets any better (In Katekyo Hitman Reborn's case it certainly got better and many people can agree with that). Sadly I have to wait till next week to watch episode 2 as I'm a free member on Crunchyroll and I don't like to pirate.

This show is a lot of fun if you imagine the main character being a psychopath who talks to himself all the time and sees his penis as a white dragon monster. A monster that whispers in his ear to kill his sexy teacher and to atagonize the girl that rejected him.
Also all the characters react to him in a very wooden or stereotypical way, because he is socially inept and can't read other people's emotions.
If you don't imagine that stuff going on, it is a pretty bland show.

The colouring is pukatronic but aside from that the atmosphere is fun. Cliche outline but original details here and there, I smell potential.

Also lol, most of the haters are KHR fans. Don't put your knickers in a twist just because the mangaka betrayed you.

I agree with Misuzu's evaluation: Chuta is cringeworthy and annoying. I still like him somehow.

Otherwise this episode wasn't bad. Looks like a chield friendly version of Gantz.

The thing, that came out of Chuta's chest is quite weird though. And the Chief seems fishy.

Holy shit! Just 6 minutes in and we're already seeing more larger oppai and bouncing oppai than in the whole Reborn anime.

LMAO at the Reborn reference on the news.

Dat Aunt.

One of the aliens look like Reborn.

LMAO at the blocking of the upskirt.

Dat Fairy Tail like OST.

Got more fanservice (oppai moving, stopping upskirt) out of the main girl this episode that in the whole Reborn anime.

Its watchable.
