THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The OP song is kinda catchy I guess?

Felt like a really average start with the introduction of the characters. Niwaka also has somewhat of an annoying voice and comedy felt so-so at the moment. Setting takes place at Akihabara and the MC already likes what it has to offer with the merchandise. Mayoka is slightly fun to watch though with that badass attitude of hers. Arisa is kinda cute I guess. Mayoka's presence in the show caught my attention the most so far. RIP clothes.

Thoughts?

For people who played both games, I feel this was a nice omen to the game lovers. Though, it still gives enough to get new watchers up to speed.

The comedic combat takes it a bit too far, in fact, a bit too bloody, but this is the first episode after all.

Regardless, it's still satisfying going "Oh, I know where this is!" when they feature the famous stores/streets of Akiba.

Damnit! Don't die without my permission!

From what I could see the series composition didn't even allow cases of censorship. In short there are no scenes that make censorship is needed.

This could be an good anime if the actions scene weren't this bad.
Very often the camera is way too zoomed in to tell what is going on.
The transton (or lack there of) from the scene and the beginning to the OP was also pretty bad.

Well, I guess that's expected from the "Akihabara". Those Idol-like OP I referring to. AND the Maid at the first minute too.LOL
It surely pretty funny looking at the MC's habit, especially when talk about his passion for that figure.

HAHAHA. Okay, well, I've also read a few chapters of this title but I'm not sure if this is going to be like that. So far, the stories aren't matching up . The main characters basically look the same, well, the boy. They are both otakus, or some form or nerd, as you can tell in the first interactions with the girl who tried to get him to buy something. There's this awesome pink-haired chick, with a bat, that immediately goes into action to make a girl strip. I couldn't tell if the female fell into ashes. I don't think so.

There's another pink-haired cutie with a skull thing on her head. The one in the manga also has a little sister but she's totally different than this one. Hmmm... Maybe the manga that I read was, like, way before he was now in the anime? iono. Maybe they're not connected at all, Yuuta. HAHAHHA.

Anyway, the art is super cute and sparkly.

HAHAHA> THOSE FIGURES. Liver, Colon...omg. I love these super heroes. HAHA. He's met his match with the blonde nerd, Arisa. He lost the figure to boobs.

UHHH. MAYBE THIS IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TITLE. HAHAA.

Dude. These girls are intense with their love for figurines. HAHA. There was an explosion. At least the main character was nice enough to have paid for his figure before he left. OH, SHE JUST STABBED A GIRL IN THE FO'HEAD WITH A FORK. DUDE.

Main character found his imouto, Niwaka. The blonde girl is back again in a different outfit. Looks like she's going to be wearing a lot of different outfits. Cosplay, maybe? HAHA. He leaves his sister entrusted to a girl that he had fought with for a figurine. Same soul.

OH, NO. MAIN CHARACTER GETS STABBED TO SAVE MAIN GIRL. What an awesome guy. That was a pretty bad beating, mang.

Hmmmm. He comes back pretty similar to this manga. HE dies and then comes back thanks to main girl's kiss. OH, NO. FO'HEAD FORK IS BACK. Main guy has more powers and he's able to go straight into stripping others.

This music is badass. HAHA.

Whelp. The day is saved. Uhh.. I already forgot his name. Tasum---uh. HAHAHHA. I'm bad at this. Thanks to his newfound, shared powers he's going to be working with main girl to save the town from evil. I guess they go back to normal after being stripped? It doesn't look like they die, at least. Hmmm. HAHA. Whelp. Can't wait for the next episode! This is going to be interesting.

And a lot of fanservice is coming our way.

If this had DxD level of fanservice then this would have been perfect lol but regardless, I really liked this quite a lot

The characters aren't annoying which is a plus, the main male character was pretty tolerable and isn't a moron, I loved the blonde girl and the red head and the imouto was nice too

The action scenes were pretty well done and the art and animation fits pretty well too in addition to the more bloody scenes so I really liked seeing that

Last but not least, I like how they combined the plot and the fanservice so that they both would go in turn with each other (Kinda like what Keijo did)....It's nothing amazing or anything but it is entertaining to say the least

The OP and ED were okay-ish imo though

I actually really enjoyed this. Kind of came out of nowhere for me.

How they handled censorship was really good as well. No white lines across the screen or anything.

Will definitely keep up with this.

It's not to be taken seriously, very random and funny. Not sure if I will continue but I will defiantly watch episode 2. The characters we interesting enough to keep me entertained and the setting around Akihabara was enjoyable. Does make me miss the place. People who like fan service will most likely enjoy this. MAL has considered this under Ecchi. I'm not a fan of that genre anymore but this wasent in your face like some which was good for me. I have never played the games so I don't know how true it is to the games but it was a series that was easy to watch without knowing anything before hand.

I don't think the art was good enough for the fanservice to mean anything, but other than that, it was a pretty fun show. The English voice actor for the MC seems a weird choice, though I do think he did a good job.

I enjoyed the first episode. Wouldn't say it's a must watch but I found it enjoyable. Characters are cool although I can see the one girl who keeps saying "Moi" start getting annoying.

Action scenes seem pretty good. Animation isn't great but it gets the job done I guess.

The opening is pretty catchy I must say. I guess if I had to rate this episode I would probably give it a 7. It's definitely enjoyable but if you go into this show with high expectations you will be disappointed.

Felt pretty average so far, I'm not really going to expect much from this one. If anything, I can expect it to be like Keijo where it's not very good but it's, at the very least, entertaining.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Quite the fun little episode and a good start. I didn't have big expectations of this, but it seems that it might be good. Looks like this along with Konosuba will be the two lighthearted fun shows of the season.

This was a nice first episode. I enjoyed it. The characters are okay, so is the animation and action. I find it funny that there are cow sounds when the camera focuses on Arisa's breasts. Tamotsu got powers by getting a kiss from Matome. That was nice.

Keijo Season 2 boys, GONZO saving anime this season. I appreciate that the MC isn't a little bitch and that the main girl isn't a standard Tsundere. Having likeable mains a huge plus. That genki blonde chick is fucking annoying though... "MOI MOI MOI MOI MOI....." STFU!

Animation was pretty damn decent, art design is fairly appealing, the lewd moments were actually fit into the story instead of distracting, comedy was hit or miss. Seems, much like Keijo, that it is going to be a lot of mindless fun, and I'm alright with that.

No punches pulled on violence, gore, or ecchi. Girls face gets pulped and dude gets stabbed with a bat. Then we get a fairly intense make-out scene (with a dead guy) on Episode fucking 1!!!



Latter half of the episode was stronger than the first bit, and I hope now that we've got intros out of the way it just keeps going that route, because those were some hype fight scenes. Maybe not TTGL levels of hype, but hype nonetheless.

PLUS WE GET AN ACTUAL SIMULDUB, AND THAT'S AMAAAZZINGG. Not just "SimulDub" in name, but in action, because the Dub actually came out before the Subs even. And the Dub is decent! Even if this show is trash in the end, I will watch and support it just for this reason alone. I want Funi to keep going with this trend.

Good, solid, wholesome fun!

Not sure never played the games, but alot of girls in braws/briefs kinda thing, closest to maybe censorship is the girl at the end thats completly naked have her hands covering her parts, about the closest but even then you can still see a fair bit. So not sure if she should be 100% naked, but thats about it.

I really like what I saw. This feels like one big love letter to people who played the games. You can even see opening cutscenes to the games on screens in the background. This show reminded me of how much fun I had playing the games.

The action was surprisingly good. It was intense at times, and even brutal at one point. Hope they can keep it up though the season.

Disappointed to see Jad Saxton cast as the main girl. I would've rather it be Luci Christian, but I think I can get used to Jad.

Word of warning to those who aren't familiar with the franchise, if you don't like ecchi and fanservice, leave now. If anyone complains about those two things, they're watching the wrong show.

This was pretty amusing. I like Tamotsu. He's a fun guy. Lol how he had that persistent woman to stop trying to get him to buy some painting. Niwaka was kinda cute I guess. Arisa had an annoying voice. I don't really find this foreigner speaking Japanese thing appealing in any way. The animation was kinda cool at times. There were some good looking fights from time to time plus a few good looking explosions. Lol "Mayo" isn't exactly the best nickname.

Pretty amusing stuff. Some nice animation too. The character designs tend to look kinda weird at times for the side characters especially and occasionally the main cast, but I don't really mind it. Kinda like the same effect Konosuba's visuals have. I'll stick around with this. Mayo being a "traitor" intrigues me a bit too.

The Series Comp guy here was also the S.Comp lead for ReLIFE. The staff give me confidence in this one actually.
