A good start to the series and seems "weird", no, whacked out. I love their use of color in this. When they talk about auras, it makes sense why they use a lot of color during fights.

Quirked up off the bat. Crime one second into the show. Who? And we have entered a fantasy relm. She is an alien. The biggest door. A gopher? The intro cave. She believes in ghosts when she has never seen one. She had to do a ritual pose. She believes in family. A trade. Aliens and ghosts are real. Ew. They don’t evolve. Please stop this. He crawls through the phone. He wanted to befriend an alien. She unlocks psychic powers just in time. She glitches him through the moon. He must go to the tunnel. They can’t leave each other alone. He is him. 3

Visually, the episode makes a positive impression. The soundtrack from the trailer was used in this episode, and it sounds really nice.
I wouldn't call myself a fan of this series(no plot, just action + fanservice), but I'll still watch at least the first season, cause it seems the Science SARU studio really did justice to the visual artstyle of manga.
@Soleks100000 I really like the way the series handles its technical aspects.

And yes, it is a series of pure fun. However, the direction hinders to some extent such pretensions, seeking to force a sympathy with the characters, which ends up detracting from the tone of freneticism and madness that the series seeks to convey.

Wow this series is already peak at the very first episode, I love the dynamic between Momo and Ken, they are so funny and are romantically made for each other. Momo who doesn't believe in aliens gets kidnapped by aliens, and Ken who doesn't believe in ghosts gets cursed by the Turbo granny giving him supernatural powers. Momo awakens her psychic abilities and saves herself and Ken from the aliens. What a great start to this show.

Unexpected contexts from a shounen, with terms like "d*ck" and "s*x" just being thrown out there in the first episode alone.

And one of the robot aliens has his own..... what. XD

The granny was creepy, the robot aliens were creepy.
Momo was adorable, I guess. And the funny yet awesome reveal that his friend is named "Ken Takakura" is also funny. Good start. XD

Still.. i honestly don't know what the heck I just watched. XD

Great opening, immediately hooked me in. Love the dub, everyone's voice fits their character and you can tell the VAs were really trying. I did notice that Ken dismissed the term UFO for UAP in the very beginning then while Momo was walking through the alien hotspot Ken told her to go to, he said it was a UFO hotspot. Not sure if that's a dub mistake. Everything feels like it's moving pretty fast tbh. On the bright side, the production is super high quality. The art, animation, music, even the English VAs are all 10/10.

Crazy first ep, had no idea what to expect and I still don't.
Combining aliens and the occult is definitely interesting, wondering where this could lead to in terms of plot developments.
Can't tell much of the characters just yet, but I can kinda see how it is going to work with them both clashing with each other about their different beliefs of aliens and the supernatural.

The plot seems interesting, the animation is a bit simple but that's ok, however the weird sexual stuff is... weird... I'd prefer it wouldn't be here

Great start! I've been a fan of the manga for years so seeing a solid adaptation is a blessing, some of the scenes were just so visually beautiful, that's what we want for the beginning of Momo and Okarun's adventures lol, starting with this kind of alien scene sure tells you how special the story is going to be

I like the animation style. The characters kind of annoyed me at first. It was entertaining at least. Will continue watching.

His voice super annoying, and reminded me of Kazuma from KonoSuba which is a super annoying character. I don't know if I'll be able to endure his voice whenever he goes hysterical xD

Whoa, imma watch this in five easy minutes with San Francisco rice a roni. Dis look good.

One question tho is it too cliche, guess we’ll find out. I like repeating of themes, it makes anime so comfy. Originality became untoppable and that’s how man got bored. Bring me back them family shows like full house (ok maybe not). Yeah it’s ghosty ghoulies again but I like. See what they do.


When’s JJKS3 again? Man JJK changed the game, that’s one fly ass ending, kitty doing a dance. Methinks imma like this.
