Kinda interesting. We're definitely hitting the ground running here with abandoning out initial underground carnival premise. This is looking more like it'll be an adventure mystery series. Pretty cool directing as everyone is pointing out because of Kaguya-sama, but I'm looking at those storyboard credits for Genroku Rakugo season 2 lol.

This is so interesting thus far! It's likely wont be the most popular, but an excellent underrated gem of the season. It reminds me of The Case Study of Vanitas!

I loved it. I only started watching this because the title stood out to me. If I'd had known it was about an adorable severed head-girl I would have been way more excited. The main character is very interesting; I loved how his life goal up until that point had been to get himself killed turning into a monster at a public venue and going on a killing spree. Really excited to see how this turns out.

I like the art style. I think I have seen the main character somewhere before but I can't put my finger on it. His design is so familiar. The opening song is catchy.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

They made a 22:50 min episode that could be 1 hour, because this was a lot of thing and how I can say...

It's a mdf HYPE.

The story is so interesting with great dialogues on top of that. The character acting of Tsugaru is so freaking good. His personality makes it twice as good. The same goes for Aya, even though she's just a head, I feel like she'll be a great character. I like her a lot. They're going to Europe in order to find her body back and the culprit who made Tsugaru into a Oni Slayer.
The direction of this episode was rather interesting and not bland at all.

Feels like this will be one of the more surprising anime this season. Wasn’t expecting much but it was a good opening episode. Animation and characters are good and it has an interesting premise. Hope this one keeps the momentum

First impression is great, I would say.
It's like I am watching the anime adaptations of the Monogatari Series without the confusing/dizzying Shaft or Shinbou Akiyuki cinematography.
It looks like it might turn out good; I sure won't be able to get hold of the novel or the manga, but hopefully the anime will be good.
Regarding the OP, I initially felt it is KPop-like and well yeah, it turned out it was CLASS:y which performed it after all.
I guess from this first episode, the voice acting that kinda engaged me would be Kurosawa Tomoyo's performance (voiced Iwakura Mutsumi from last season's Skip and Loafer). As I compared the anime to the Monogatari Series, given the Aya is initially from an even older Japanese era, she has the same vibes as Sakamoto Maayo when she voiced Shinobu.
Lastly, it seems the director of this anime is very familiar with both eastern and western horror folklore, specially about the undead. The director Omata Shinichi (aside from directing the Kaguya-sama animes) also directed or worked on horror-related animes like Sankarea and some Jigoku Shoujo anime titles) - oh by the way, the director also worked for Studio Shaft from some time.

Very promising. I'm also looking forward to all the head jokes in the comment section.

Interesting premise. I like the direction of the directing in this aside from that overhead view of the walking assumingly being done in CGI which blended well enough but the smooth motion just was giving me motion sickness. I like the colour pallet used. I felt off about the art style at first, don't quite like how faces look but settled into the feel of it after a bit and may start liking it more since i like the other aspects of the style how bodies are drawn etc Also this girl is supposed be 14 and 3 months old forever and while I like her voice and speaking manner i just can't easily see that being the voice of a girl that age. I enjoy the dialogue but it's also kind of hard to follow to where I found myself having to go over scenes.

One sentence: This has the best first episode kiss ever xD

I have to say that I picked up this show based on poster alone. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into but..I have to say that I'm interested. The main character gives off Sakata Gintoki vibes but I'm on board with it.

Great opening sequence as well! Honestly it may be one of my favorite openings of the season.

Huh. It was interesting.

The start was so-so, but I love me some maid action and the sly foxy-eyed MC.

The kiss in the end was cool. And beautiful ED.

Well, I just have high hopes for this now.

Interesting, a person with special strength and an immortal with only her head left are going to travel to Europe to find her body.

I am pretty excited to see how this show turns out in latter episodes.

One of the more interesting premiere episodes I've seen this season so far for sure, plus it has a pretty damn good director holding the fort for this show so potential is there. Did drag a bit at times with the dialogue which made the episode lose a little steam here and there, but otherwise, a solid showing overall and I do want more from this. Hopefully it can get better and better along the way.

Interesting series with a talking head and a half human/half monster guy, definitely supernatural stuff. When Aya told Tsugaru that she could extend his life via consuming part of her I thought she was going to have him eat one of her hairs or something, a wet kiss is a much better (and easier) option.

The character designs and backgrounds look great, and I'm curious how the storyline will play out.

best first episode I've seen in a while
From storytelling, to animation, character design, and climax. It had everything.
I wasn't wrong in putting it in my list after watching the trailer. This is very high quality.

We meet Tsugaru Shinuchi, an Oni slayer, Aya Rendo and her maid Shizuku Hasei. The three agree to go to Europe to retreive her body. They seal the deal with a kiss so he can Shinuchi can have Rendo's saliva to slow the process of becoming an Oni.

Opening theme is a bop and end theme is nice. The artwork looks pretty good.

Can't wait for the next episode.
