if all his power is going to keep coming from bullets I'll probably wind up dropping this series fairly soon.

Don't drop it until you get to episode 20... that's what I suggest.

The anime is absolutely amazing, but they do the beginning poorly :(

I'm at Episode 6 and I wanted to ask how the story will develop the next ... let's say 10-20 Episodes? The beginning is not bad, but it's the same and I want a bit more story and so on.

But Reborn ist truely cool. xD

well I wound up dropping it at episode 6, but I guess I could give it another shot. it won't be the first good anime that had a truly crappy beginning (12 Kingdoms), though 20 episodes seems like an awfully long time to wait for a series to become watchable.

1st episode was very good introduction and comedic

Fun facts:
1. Traditional awakening method
2. Coffee break hideout
3. Tsuna amazing blocks w/ his organ LOL LOL

This really bugs me when Tsuna on reborn mode he is always undressing..

Loved Gokudera's intro music. :3

They missed out the biggest aspect of his character though..

So the bullets basically give the author an easy plot device for each episode since it seems they can do anything (much like Oda can give any ability from the Devil Fruit in One Piece).

It's funny how they took out the part where Gakuderu lights the dynamite with cigarettes... 8|

I can't speak for anyone else, but I basically hate it because its not his own power. he's a worthless wimp unless someone else is there to shoot him. I can't imagine how this kind of dependence could ever turn him into a reliable leader the way Reborn says he's trying to. but even if it could, it still wouldn't be interesting to watch.

btw, I dropped it again after episode 20, it never did get any better really.

I actually liked this ep much better than the 1st. I'm going to keep watching. Still don't understand why Tsuna loses his clothes when he gets hit with the dying will bullet.

I'm enjoyed this episode, but I really hope that we get to see some story outside of school. Also, bullets, really? That's just.. too random. And mafia? And soo much comedy?
lol, doesn't sound like I enjoyed this episode at all.
I just really hope it'll get better once episode 20-something comes along, like everyone says it will.

Reborn is the man! his hideouts are pretty cool. I think its an ok start but i defenitly hope that he will be able to learn how to use the dying will power on his own someday. He also needs an adjustable suit or something i mean its funny now that he fights in his underwear but it will probably get old soon.

This is so lame. I don't see why people think it's funny, it's basically a copy of episode 1 just with another setting (kendo fight ---> volleybal) and a new char introduction. It was really stupid how Gokudera became is follower, for someone as strong as him it was a humiliating, I felt sorry for him... being a minor character and having to bow for someone as pathetic as Tsuna.

I do know that the real story begins at episode 20 (just wth? normal anime's are just 24/26 episodes long and this one takes thát long to begin with the plot..? xD) but this is gonna be really hard to even get till ep20 if this goes on... Sigh, I hope it'll get better cauz I've heard it's a really good anime...

yeah i agree with others on here. This whole power up thing through the use of various different bullets is kind of strange to me. I hope that is not the main focus for how tsuna uses his abilities through out the show.

I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and I got this. Really?? A MC who will become a mafia leader who is a wimp and relies on magic to do such simple tasks.

And apparently it will be like this until episode 20...Can I just skip this?
And what episode does chrome appear in? Because honestly that's the only reason I wanted to watch this, because of her character.

Anyways I will try to at least get to episode 21ish where "it gets better".

He stays wimpy almost the whole anime, he has some cool moments though.

And she doesn't show up until episode 50.

I would recommend to watch at leat 10 episodes to get to know the characters. I skipped 16-20 because it was getting boring...

It takes a while till it get's good, episode ~40 was where I really started to like it.

He still has so many things to learn you know.. So yeah that bullets are his guides to be a boss :)

I'm re-watching the series and whereas the first time through, it was kind of a chore to get through the first 20ish episodes (I even skipped a few), now I absolutely love every minute of the fluffy beginning times of peace!

Also, I didn't realize that the animators pack a lot of info into these episodes. The main cast of KHR is huge and I didn't realize before how everyone is present in the episodes even before they are formally introduced.

Finally, I appreciate that Tsuna resolved to give it his all, even without the help of the dying will flames. It further validates his character development rather than only being cool in HDW mode.

Welp gonna actually try to watch this after much contemplation...seems like a long show but it’s nothing compared to One Piece lol (which I am still trying to catch up on).

I’ve heard good things about the show and seen how cool it can get so I guess I’ll grit my teeth through these beginning episodes. Although I think this episode was a little better than the first.

The bomber guy shows up, Gokudera Hayto. It was a decent episode. I like how there are other types of bullets now. Seems interesting.

Hmmm... either there was some mistranslation in the subs I was watching or is Reborn just flat out lying here or something? He said Tsuna passed his "test" because he didn't need the Dying Will Bullet when he clearly shot him with it?

This is the first time I hate the main character of a popular + well-rated shounen so much, every time he's on screen it's downright nauseating for me - he is a carbon-copy of Yuuki Rito from To Love Ru, and that's a really bad thing. I really hope he'll get better later on, since right now with every fiber of my being I abhor Tsuna.
