They just did everything, introduction, goals, characterizaion and even a out of nowhere drama from a anime that was keeping a "family friendly" and "im your average happy anime" image for the majority of the episode, amazingly done

Strongly agree
Beautiful animation, interesting storyline. good character design The balance of emotions is very good. In one episode, almost every mood can be fulfilled. The freshness of the plot is difficult to guess. I will continue to follow for sure.

I have to disagree, komi san's first episode felt like a movie. and it's comedy was top notch. but i think this show has the most potential to be something special. like i expect this to be the hidden gem of this season.

i mean yeah, we all know 86, mushoku tensei, and komi are going to be great. but this can be the second coming of made in abyss mixed with deca dence that blows up later. we have to see how the story goes, but i have high hopes for this one.

i mean the writing is not as good as those 3, but that said writing is still pretty good. that mixed with the great animation, design, music and direction can turn this into something amazing. and the quality of the story is anyone's guess. it might be something great like made in abyss. it might be something good, but not top tier like deca dence, or it can be something in between. what ever it may be, let's just hope it goes well.

Just facts. The amount of charisma built around the characters in 20 minutes is insane. That's a lot of merit for the script, but also for the stunning job of Junichi Sawada on the storyboard and Satelight on detailed character animation. I just enjoyed the hell out of every expression the characters made

i don't see how you can hate 86. it's just a solid story, what did you not like about it?

First 4 episodes are just monologue and exposition with random funny background things which makes the only thing that matters on said episodes to be the Subtitles and not the animation, so i dropped it, because if there's 1 good thing from Remake (arguably the only good thing that anime had) that i learned is:

"If the point was to just have people read something, and that's all, it'd be better done as a prose"

Also it has a "beach episode" right at the start like come on, it's the type of thing that if you didn't read the manga or don't go with the preconception of "it get's better later" (which i think it's a unfair way to judge a work btw) you would most likely also drop it

Oh yeah and i hated the character designs, doesn't fit the theme at all, they look like a shoujo anime

fair enough, i kind of even agree with your first point, but that's because it's adapted from a light novel, so of course it had more dialogue than action. but personally that only made me watch the show dubbed instead of subbed. since like you said, i didn't want to read. i can't really hold being dialogue heavy against the show though, since some of my favorite shows are dialogue heavy (steins;gate, odd taxi, the promised neverland season 1...). And i can't really say it had bad dialogue, if anything the dialogue was pretty good.

the beach episode was more like a beach scene, it wasn't a full episode or anything close to that. so this complaint is just kind of unfair.

and the characters designs.... ehhh... idk. maybe. i don't think they had top tier designs or anything, but it didn't bother me either so idk.

really strongly agree, I almost have watched 20 episode 1s till now, and my god this, komi san, and heike monogatari are some of the best this season, this legit had me cry up with one ep. Really well done, connected a lot to the dad part.

i would say 86, mushoko tensei had better 1st ep than this one as they are sequel they have already established characters and story but if you ask me this is the best 1st ep of any new anime i would totally agree as throughout the first ep we were shown being a marker is a very adventurous thing which comes with a lot of excitement but when memenpu friend and her dad during their encounter with the kaiju then we realises that being a marker is not a fun thing it's very dangerous job that twist was spot on 10/10 but the show make it clear we are getting an adventure but it's gonna have dad and daugther spice to it, both characters are great imo. ep1 was great because it from first scence promised an adventure and that's what we're getting

I disagree I think that this first episode was good but the first episode of blue period has me absolutely more interested in that story and world and the characters but I think the one thing that sakugan did well was start introducing us to the world and how it’s run

Yeah, definitely one of the strongest first episodes on recent memory. Actually expected a higher average score based on this but if it proves itself I can see it climb to 8 by the end of the season. Good stuff.

I totally agree too, it's the best first episode of the season, next to Komi-san and Heike Monogatari.

Nah, Komi-san's first episode is very good, but Sakugan's episode has nothing to envy, both are good in their own way.

Literally this.

I thought Sakugan had my favorite start of the season until I watched Komi-san, lol.

Tho, there's still Ousama Ranking.

Komi-san, MT, 86 and Takt OP first EP were also really good.
But I agree with you, it's one of the best first EP's of Fall season.
I'm looking forward for the remaining animes and espically Wit's original anime.
