| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The opening blew me away. I can't get the song out of my head. The animation was just fun to watch. All the high flying dancing in the face of what seems to be a serious story just made me laugh. Lots of shizz happened in the first episode. They didn't pull any punches. Plunge straight into the plot. |
| What a wild anime, I love this. |
 |
| I'm very confused as to what's going on, but it's a Tomino show so 'll just keep watching. |

| Again, as expected from Tomino, a teenager is falsely punished and runs away with a rebel, becoming entangled in an armed conflict. The visuals are very good. I dislike this type of charadesign but it suits very well the digital colouring of this period. Also, everything is astonishingly well drawn for a TV show of the transition era. On the other hand, this will be yet another 50/50 Tomino show... Almost 11mn of mechanics action ! (good action but still). 4/5 Looks like it could be either a light series with a serious SF background serving as an excuse for action or an ultimately serious story with a few revelations Farabeuf said: I'm very confused as to what's going on, but it's a Tomino show. The basic starting infos were all divulged through History reading, and informations delivered by characters "unimportant-sounding" dialogue lines, in typical Tomino fashion. After 2500years of living in the harshest places (in order to leave the "good territories" to nature in hope it would develop again), some peoples have decided to break away from the Dome-polis despite the rules. The Exodus is the name for that trend. A mysterious point is the hero being accused of being such a rebel. It also seems like some organizations centralized the power, also the guy responsible of this Dome looks like he was gathering weapons (with the excuse of being a collection freak). |

My theory is that he was marked by some sort of AI algorithm which searches automatically for possible rebels (maybe being an e-sports champion is considered a suspicious/unproductive/deliquent behaviour in this world). Similarly to nowadays algorithms used by Youtube, Facebook ect. it gives a lot false-positive results (and our MC is actually anti-exodus)... But in a dystopian authoritarian society nobody has the right to plead against it. |

| They made one mistake- they targeted a gamer. |
| My headcanon is that Nekki Basara sings the opening |
| This is exactly my kind of Tomino madness. It's also beautifully animated. |
