This looks promising. Not in every show can you see the main characters die in the very first episode. Besides, Natsuki is hot.

I wasn't really feeling most of this episode, with the fiery stegosauruses. The ending though got me interested in seeing the next episode.

Wow its been a long time since I watched an Action anime so this should feel odd for me at first but it looks promising so lets see what it has to offer.

Comments made while watching:

-Let me guess, Tokyo, 20xx.

-We interrupt this exciting opening sequence to take you to a graveyard nearby for some early character development.

-Whoa I could have sworn that creepy kid in the flashback was in Persona 3.

-Oh come on, a hot young lady like that comes riding up on a motorcycle and thats all you can say? You gay bastard! :P

-Yes I wonder what it is you are doing too Touru.

-Here come the Men in Black to relieve the fire department.

-Holy crap they have scouters *resists the urge to mention the number 9000*

-OMG its Godzilla! Nice music by the way.

-...well that went well, taxpayers are getting their moneys worth...

-And here comes the A team, why didnt they just send them in first? Because it makes them look cooler if they come in and beat something that destroyed the B team.

-Sacred tire skid marks...that is the most original thing I have seen this season.

-You see its cooler because he was on a motorcycle the whole time, to hell with practicality.

-When the Japanese Defense Agency goes so far as to as to create a supernatural disaster prevention agency, that should be a sign that they may not need to have such a large budget...

-Why did I suddenly think of NERV just now? (When that guy appeared on the monitor during the staff meeting.) I always thought Gendou Ikari ws dead...

-Its him, its butterfly man!

-Oh yeah, that director guy is so gonna turn out to be evil.

-And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling butterflys.

-The hell is in that coffee?

-Well, I totally didnt see that coming.

-And what on earth could he possibly have done to piss that girl of so much?

Post Episode Comments:

Well that certainly was interesting. Ive seen a handful of Animes where the main character dies in the first episode (Yu Yu Hakesho for example) but never one where ALL the main characters die in the first episode. This is the sort of thing that demands I see what happens next so Ill be watching episode 2 shortly.

Nice combat scenes and artistic design especially with the characters. Some very nice music too, notably in the combat scenes to set the mood.

I have no idea what the heck is going on but I have a desire to find out so lets see if I cant find a working episode 2.

During the mid of the show i went alt tab and browsed the net, thats how exciting it was.

But only the ending made me look the episode's window.

I agreed and that is HEI!


lol xD the episode felt like I was watching dtb<3

it seems like this anime will be interesting, but it sucked so much that the "main characters" were killed >.>
I was loving natsuki with her bike skills (second she came on, I thought of natsuki from mai-hime) and also loved tooru/hei :3
gosh >.< wanted to see more of them... -bitter-
wonder whats coming next...

the DVD release of the uncensored 1st episode is definitely 10000X better ... still thought it'd be better to give Natsuki more lines ... she's cute with her bike

What the fuck happened!

Well Natsuki's motorbiking style was extremely amazing, and so was that dude. They were cute in combat and all that, but they died. That caught me off guard, I'm excited.

OKay I am not sure how to rate this one I like it and I love Natsuki's Motorbike but I think this will be an okay series it is a good thing I read the first posting because I do agree it does have a Elfen Lied vibe and I went through that one in one day which really wasn't a good idea but I still do it.

Okay.. That was and AWESOME first episode... Totally came at the last parts.

But... I think I have the censored version, which I'm guessing isn't good at all for an anime like this. DAMN it!

edit: Yup. As I figured... Fuck this shit. I hate censoring.

Sadly I got spoiled about this episode, with yet another idiot not using spoiler tags, but I'm kinda happy I guess. If it wasn't for the spoiler I wouldn't have watched the first episode =). Awesome start! Defintely getting Elfen Lied vibes atm from this show.

I watched this thinking itd serve as a boring intro to the actual story, i was wrong o.o
It was infact an intro but the first episode was fricking action packed, i loved the sound track too! looking forward to the rest of this anime now =D

The way Natsuki fought with the motorbike, I wanna do that. :D

Well...umm...didn't expect that.

I liked the motorbike fight and the insert songs, but then the censorship kicked in at the end and confused me till I saw Natsuki's head fall off. Then I realized that they were being killed. Wtf happened to the other girl? Her head was completely fucked up.

I guess the only way I can sum it up is, "Wtf did I just watch?"

1st episode was an instant win for me since it had everything I was looking for!
It had action and unexpected ending. Finally the rule "Main characters don't die in the begining and middle of the show" was broken!


To those who think that they got deceived and that show is not what they expected, keep watching. Because 1st episode is different from the rest, the show has high chances of being what you are searching for after all!

uh, well.. i mean the action was alright i guess, although i really don't care much for animations lol.

the story was really confusing.. i didn't really know who was who since there really was no backstory.. i thought the girl character that was laying in the water was the same as the one that was doing the crazy shit with the motorbike.. but then it showed that that girl got shot by the guy.. then they all died by the high school uniform girl with a sword and the mami girl shot herself.. or something.. i don't know lol. whatever, i'll just keep watching and try to understand xD
