| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Episode 1 is out on CR. It pretty much begins from where episode 0 left off. The scientists decides to use a robot to investigate. Smart move imo to reduce risks. Pretty weird episode. Apparently, the cube has very impressive defenses even so that the military can't put a dent on it while a mysterious being emerges. A lot of questions need to be answered so I really hope the rest of the answers will fill in the blanks. Just a strange episode so far.  CGI is surprisingly done well. |

| There is episode 0 ? |
| yea on Crunchyroll you have 0 and 1 ep already I dont understand what you say was weird If being like this would come to Earth the same thing would do government etc |
| Remided me of GATE. Had a similar vibe with a portal to another world opened.. although this is different of course. Loving the art and CG. Very intrigued to see how this goes, but not gonna get my hopes up too high. Good start. |
 |
| I like this kind of cgi But why did they do cgi + 2D characters sometimes in the same scene ? come on if you want cgi in your anime do it all the time! |

| The CG is pretty good. It doesn't bother me. A huge cube came from the sky and crushed an airplane. Thankfully no one died. It's smart to use drones and robots to get close to it. A tank shell couldn't damage it at all. Then a strange guy came out of it. Cool series so far. |
 |
| I was expecting this to be in full 3DCG so the fact that it's not makes me really happy....Especially because the mixture between CG and 2D actually blends well in this But man, I had no hopes for this since it's Toei but the fact that it was an original series, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and I must say that so far, this has been pretty nice The setup and presentation has been laid out very well and episode 0 did a good job introducing us to the characters too so now I'm looking forward to seeing where this series goes Really nice start Toei, really nice |
| Interesting start. Obviously it's not about about space zombies try to assimilate leaked scientist. |
| . |
| Kind of reminds me of Arrival from last year, except way trippier. It probably won't go the same eventual direction, but I'm intrigued to see where it does go. Nice to see full/mostly CGI TV anime improving visually. Seems to be well-used with the cube especially, but the characters and objects look passable as well. |
| The CG and the 2D blended quite well, in my opinion. Although there is some scenes where you notice it and it is like the characters are living in different dimensions XD Well, paint me interested. Some weird giant structures appear in the middle of the city kinda reminds me of the movie "Arrival" o-o White hair bishounen god yay \o/ |
 |
| Wow, it's actually much better than I expected. The CGI is great (I was really afraid of that) and the story is so interesting I really wanna know more about that cube. I'm surprised, and I can't wait to see more. :D |
| Hmm, seems interesting. Got me all curious. |
| Definitely interesting, it really surprised me! |
| I like a good mystery! The CGI works really well in this. |
| This is really a surprise... I want more. |
| DUDE ALIEN SPACECUBE LMAO |
 |
| Holy fuck. That was amazing. Serious ''Arrival'' vibes. That was on some epic scale. |
| I agree that the CGI looks great. But I think this is also it's main flaw in this anime. While the 2d characters are sometimes fast-drawn, lacking some details etc. the CGI characters are always perfect, no matter the angle. And that makes them stand out like a sore thumb, and makes it painfully obvious what is CGI and what is not. I don't like it. If they are mixing CGI and 2D they should blend it together a little better, I think. |
| Interesting first episode. Reminds me of The Day the Earth Stood Still. I'm curious, if the aliens are benevolent or malevolent. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Well, what a start, it's too early to say if this anime will be good or bad since everything is still really mysterious, but at least looks promising. |
 |
| at first when i saw that this a cgi anime it made me feel to stop watching it but as the big ass cube come down it made me curious wtf is that thing. though i havent watch the episode 0 because im still thinking if i will follow this show and have no idea what plot this anime has i feel continuing the following episodes just to have an idea on wtf is going on. do you think this anime have a potential on getting better? |
| Wow this is EPIC. I'm in suspense. I have so many questions and I definitely need to see episode 0. The art style/animation has Ajin syndrome hardcore which isn't bad because I love this weird cross between 3D and 2D. In fact it looks identical to Ajin's style but it isn't the same team or company. Maybe they just use the same technology. CANNOT wait for episode 2. This is amazing. |
 |
| I gotta say I really like the Main character design, a breath of fresh air from the usual bland designs. |
 |
| As others said already, gives off the same vibes as the movie Arrival. Interesting to see where this series will go, excited for next episode. The scientist girl is really cute and energetic, hope she gets lots of screen time. |
| I could tell there was CGI in many of the scenes, but it blended so well, it didn't bother me. And I knew the music sounded really familiar! By the same person who did Suisei no Gargantia :O Can't wait to see the rest of the episodes. |
 |
| Definitly the most interesting first episode in a new anime this season. People who pass on this because of retarded logic like this being from Toei and CGI are missing something that could be great. |
 |
| The pacing was atrocious, but I was invested all the way through and that's what counts. I hope the tone doesn't change too drastically with the introduction of this character. |
| Besides the 'Arrival' vibe, all that "japanese government trying to deal with some bizarre occurrence" really made me think about 'Shin Godzilla' Really intriguing episode, my favorite of the season so far. |
| Not a fan of CG, but it was watchable. The story is really the strong point. This show has the best 1st episode in this season for me (at the moment). It kept me interested. |
| Color me incredibly curious, I did not expect to get so into the story. The animation isn't bad at all either. |

"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| It has potential to be a really good anime, but we'll see how it'll turn out. I found it a little odd how they mixed CGI and 2D animation, though. |
| I've quite enjoyed this episode and episode 0 as well. It already got me hooked and I really love the 3D CG which was really spectacular! I'm surprised to see how Toei decided to do an anime with a sci-fi genre. It also reminded me of the movie "Arrival" which was a really good film. But back on topic, it's an interesting story with great visuals and details. I love Shindo's character. He looks like a cool guy and knows how to be a good negotiator. It makes me wonder what's in store for him as well as that silver-haired guy, Yaha-Kui. Anyway, I can't wait to see what happens next week! |
| the CGI is disgusting i'm sorry. if it's not really really good why do they keep doing anime this way? it's 2017 they should do good looking shows damn |
 |
| Judging by ppl's comments I prob shouldnt have skipped episode 0 if I wanted to know more about Shindo and why everyone is like Shindo! |
| Not feeling this one, but I'll hear the gay alien out. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| I was like wtf is happening for the whole episode, but i can say that I'm intrigued. Will definitely look forward to this, i like the cube visuals. Btw does anyone think that Yaha-kui Zashunina reminds of Abe no Seimei from Sousei no Onmyouji?This dude The way they both say "Mankind" I feel like Yaha-kui is not a human. Also does anyone think that he  reminds of Tosaki from Ajin?  |
| Really interesting and loving the CG...but...but...I get Shindou is one of the main characters and so everyone is worried about him...but...but...what about Hanamori??? Even if he's only a supporting character...I feel so sad for him. (╥︣﹏᷅╥) R.I.P. |
Just started watching ep 0 and i already can tell how much effort they put into this show based on this alone. NONE ep0 - mostly boring until almost the very end. ep1 - shooring all kinds of random shit on an alien ship sure seems like a gread idea as the first attempt of contact. and why was a modern tank shooting cannonballs lol? this show is just so damn uncreative when when it comes to anything but the cube. the alien sure doesnt look alien. overall the cgi still irks me, the premise is interesting enough to keep me watching but the animation quality and art style are pretty terrible to look at. Visually this show is meh. 2/5 |

| Tension rising episode with another cliff-hanger. The scientist woman character is clashing with the serious tone and is so fast to accept both new physics and divine existence... Graphically, the 3DCGI stands out on more occasions than before due to the mix or some movements. 4/5 It will probably end up as a totally forgettable show, but for now it's a decent watch. I don't understand the decision of turning the first episode (0) into an ONA: it was a needed introduction (the series lacks one, the perturbation element is thrown at us a few minutes in). |
| this seems really interesting |
