Going into this blind I quite liked the first episode. It has a very specific sense of adventure that you don't really see that much in anime anymore.

Toriyama's style is truly distinctive..wait a second, that's actually Dabura, lol.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

A good first episode, it's great to see this adventure feeling, and the CGI isn't bad at all

Okay start. Probably an OK adaptation for a fine manga.

4/5

Just why are main characters made in CGI and others drawn?

First of all RIP Akira Toriyama 🙏
Thank You sensei!!

Looking at the trailer i was skeptical because of the CGI, but after watching the first episode it's not bothering me anymore and i actually enjoying it.

The premise was simple, Main Character Beelzebub was likeable and of course the comedy just hits the mark.
I already like the chemistry between the characters.

great start, I did actually play the demo at TGS last year before it was out publicly (so idunno if it's the same version that's the demo that's out now) I remember that giant snake thing and much of the designs and vehicles we've seen so far from that short play sesh.

I decided to give the English dub a shot first for this one, since even tho I also watch the sub for a lot of DB stuff, the english dub is normally what I prefer and am more familiar with. So as another of Tori's work thought I'd see if localisation was done as well as DB is. It does seem pretty great so far, all the voices fit super well and seems like everyone gave great performances.

Makes me think about Hokuto no Ken or Sunabouzu but the Toriyama's way, it was an awesome 1st episode, so we have one old man human teaming up with demons to find water in this deserted land... I love how it looks and I also really like the CGI they've been using so far, promising start!

Vou escrever em português mesmo :)

Achei tão divertido. A animação está belíssima e a vibe me lembrou tanto a energia do Dragon Ball Clássico. Acabei de terminar Megalo Box: NOMAD e acho que um anime divertido, era o que estava precisando '3'
