THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This was a pretty good first episode, reminds me a lot of Megalo box though with a main character that clearly has a goal in mind. Interested to see where it goes.

Looks like Polygon studio is yet to master CG so that ppl wouldnt drop it on the spot. Makes me less excited for their next project already coming out next season...

I got the notification, logged into Netflix, looked at the images and then logged back out. I hate to be a salty ass(that's a lie) but boy is it ugly as sin.

I've been waiting for the premiere of Levius for quite some time and I have to say, this first episode was amazing. Nobunaga Shimazaki is one of my favorite VAs right now and I do my best to follow any anime featuring him in a starring role. I know that the presence of a certain voice actor in a project isn't a good indicator of that project's quality because of Japanese voice actors will literally sign up for anything. That's just how the voice acting industry works over at Japan.

All in all, this was a good way to start the series. It takes a while for this episode to kick into high gear, but this episode proves this show has a lot of potential. It looks like the fight scenes will be a highlight of this series, especially because Levius seek for meaning and purpose in his life in metal boxing. If this show plays its cards right, it can be one of the finest anime of the year.

Pretty fast episode, a fight already and a bit of a backstory. It also looks like one of those anime an MC fights for someone, in this it looks like his mother.

The animation looks like puke.

People flipping out over CGI are the same ones jerking off Beastars.

I liked the trailer of this and plan to check it out once I can properly watch it.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

The drawings in the ending song were beautiful. If only the show looked like that.

The mechanical boxing reminds me of Megalo Box

Pretty good start, I like the steampunk setting and the cgi seems kind of fitting and not awful at all in my opinion

The CGI style grows on you after awhile. I just watched Megalobox, and this is definitely in the same category, but so far I like Megalobox more. We'll see where this goes. The ending drawings were very beautiful.

ngl I still think this would be better not presented as CGI, but this style of CGI is getting better and more polished.

As far as story and content, it looks promising. just hoping he doesn't turn out to be super emo and woe is me all the time.

To start off I don't understand why so many people are despising the CGI. Like trust me it could have been worse, it's good that they at least added some nice movement to it.

As for my opinion on the episode, I really like it so far! There is a lot of setup for what is to come next, as well as a lot to look forward to! There isn't a genuinely hateable character as of yet, which is a really nice break from a lot of anime that I have been watching. As for my thoughts on the CGI, I really like that they used it for this show. The designs are really complex, and it compliments the constant movement of the camera during fights and makes it a lot more clear as to where all of the punches are landing.

So far I'm looking forward to what this anime has to offer!

Man, really... Polygon Pictures should just really make original projects. They just keep butchering whatever they adapt ffs. I would orgasm to see Levius with a 2d movie budget.

If I didn't read the manga this would be at least serviceable. This is just isn't meant for CG.. At all.

As much as the CGI characters look terrible I’ll still watch this the story is interesting at least. The KO looked quite good but the faces and expressions look terrible. Op was decent also.

The CGI looks great, and easily amongst the best I've seen in anime. I'd wagering most who are complaining about it do the same for just about any kind of CG animation, regardless of its fidelity or fluidity, and you can't win with these types.

Otherwise, the story itself looks fairly typical so far, but it carries itself with some respect. The mechanical augmentations spice things up as well.

8 minutes in and I can't physically continue... it's an abomination. The manga was so good, but this... just no.

For being 3d animated it looks fine
Animation and art wise
And fights are pretty fluid
Don’t know what people are complaining about
