I can't wait to see more of this anime. I don't really care about everyone comparing the manga to the anime.

The art seems a little off to me. Like, somehow very 80s xD
It's quite distracting.
Maybe it's just Rei and Sakura, IDK.
But it'll be interesting to find out how Sakura survives the flames.
I mean, she has to. She's the female lead.

Same about the artwork. It IS distracting, at least to me. XD
I liked the episode though and I'm actually glad they censored it.

Why did I feel that I was back in 199x-2004 watching this anime? Is it the art style? The animation?

It was alright. I wasn't expecting it to be that good anyways.

Art colouring reminded me of Mirai Nikki, which I despised.

The best part about Oogami is that unlike other MCs he will actually kill someone. Definitively a plus.


This and 2 cool things I picked up on the anime

1.Nobuhiko Okamoto voices Oogami who also voices Rin Okumura from Blue Exorcist (He sure like those blue flames)

2.One of the characters I saw on the anime kinda resembles Reiichirou Shiba of Zombie-Loan!

That would have been so awesome if he really killed her...although i know he didn't. A truly evil MC would be awesome.


Ogami tried to kill her. But he's not powerful enough to be able to harm her with his powers.

That OP was boring, but the ED was cool. I haven't seen a shounen since BE, so i'm glad this aired this season, although i'm a bit sad whoever checked out the one volume of the manga my library has didn't return in time for me to read it before this aired.

On the other hand we have a good (and STRONG) lead female and awesome MC. This looks really promising, especially since they don't hold back with the violence (with the exception of the blocked out Animal abuse, which is a bit funny although i don't condone any animal abuse).

So far the only thing that annoyed me were the school cliches. That dramatic crowd when she called him out...ugh. Painful to watch.
I want to know if stuff like this actually happens in Japan, because it sure as hell doesn't happen in the US. Like at all. No one gives a damn.

Just finished watching episode one~.

The OP was ok. the animations were good but the song was meh :/
Personally I would prefer the manga art style over the anime one. I didnt like how they drew sakura's eyes. They guys were fine though. Also I always imagined her voice to be more cute(air headed maybe), but i guess the author had different thoughts.

Overall, i liked it alot. I look forward to more episodes, and maybe ill get used to the new art style and sakura's voice.

The first half wasn't that interesting but when the gang fight began, it was awesome. Oogami's power was intriguing and so were the mysterious characters that responded to him.

That cliffhanger was great. Also, I really love the ED. Some stellar 3D effects there.

I'll give it maybe another two episodes. If I see it take the generic shounen route (which it already seems that way), then I'll take a pass on this.

It looks like the same type of just boredom-action offers as Haguure no Yuusha. Just something to pass the time, might as well span it out seeing as its short and I've got time to kill xD

Anybody know if something largescale happens?

Well that explains the onigiri. And I meant her boobs.
Ah... well I found her boobs were okay, they are supposed to be big but looked "normal big" on her in the anime. Aoba as Sakura's best friend is just meant to be super cute like that. As Aoba's childhood friend said:

Maeshun: Her boobs are her only good point.

DCalfine said:
And my comment about the dog? The way it walks (or should I say, run at a very slow pace), does that look right to you?
I find it interesting that people actually remarked on this. My brother did as well but he doesn't even like anime.

About the dog, she IS supposed to be cute and mostly be there to make people feel sorry for her. I know the way her running was animated looked weird and probably distracted alot, but to me I just found it hilarious. I.E I enjoyed the way her running was animated. Also major spoiler --->

I think you're looking at that part too deeply. It probably wasn't even intended to appear so.
What are you referring too? Are you talking about that scene in chapter 2 that I mentioned? major spoiler --->

Or are you talking about the hint in the op? Several Japanese bloggers actually remarked on what happened in the op.

Me too, I always pictured her having the same voice as Minori Kushieda(Yui Horie) from Toradora! but now that I watch the actual episode I remember how Ogami remarked on Sakura talking "funny" in the first chapter. Sakura talks like an OLD MALE samurai! She talks like one of Kenshiro from fist of the north star! This is her personality.

A OK episode for me, with annoying censorship. I prefer the chara-design of the manga. The OP & EP songs are cool, but i don't really like the animation of them.

Gonna be for me an OK adaptation, but I will continue to read the manga.

Sakurakoji seems to have lost some of her charm with the character design in the anime. Also, the balance between violence & comedy that i think the manga did pretty well, has been broken a bit by the producers trying to make it look more tv friendly. Even the gangsters being burned up looked more comical.

Though, i guess the first ep was decent enough.
Its been a while since I read the manga, at the very least this might motivate me to catch up on some chapters.

The voices were not what I expected but I will still watch it, I did not notice the censorship so much. Or I might just hold on on all the animes that might have censorship and wait until the blue rays come out (Could someone PM a list of all the animes for this season that are/were censored) Thanks

This premier episode was epic! I like the storyline...the action ! the typical blonde with big breasts chick..... the action....and again the chick!!!

There's something about the way they handled the relationship between the viewer and the main character (or at least I think she is) that I don't find acceptable for them to kill the emotion like that !! I mean at the end...where he "elimnates her" that was rough...ad I think the killing of the dog should have had a breaking neck sound!!! As opposed to the red background!

Anyways...towards the end we're left with all these characters showing up anticipating Ogami (is that his name?) .... I haven't read the manga ....so this is still a sweet surprise for me!!!

Like the ED!! so good !

Omg I can't take it when animals get hurt like that, I got teary eyes and it's been a damn long time since I've had that. Interesting story though, bad-ass main guy.
It's obviously that main girl won't die since she's the main girl.

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.

You seem to set "average" pretty high. What is a show with "average animation quality" to you?
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

OP and ED were nice. Animation is average. Girl look is too shoujo. Her hair color is like from an old art. Overall is average and boring. Prolly I expected too much from this show. I wanted to see Code 1 since his chara seems intriguing and Mikishin voicing him. I'm limiting watch list this season, so dropping this.

Oh! I just realized I actually read a few chapters of the manga once, but I completely forgot about it until now.

Well, just like when I picked up the manga, I find this show interesting, though not overly so (I guess that's why I never finished the manga). I'd like to see this finished though, so this time I'm sticking with it.

Also, the poor dog! First it lost its owner, then that bunch of shitheads beat it up. Gah, I hate these kinds of scenes >____<;;;
