| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- First episode premiered today from Crunchyroll's virutal expoo. Memenpu seems like the type of character who have sight on a goal, they don't give up. Plus, she seems to have a temper problem, especially with Gaganba. She seems to really want to prove herself to others. I think Gaganba is a good person at heart and he seems to geninuely care about Memenpu's well-being as as father. It's a fun lighthearted sci-fi anime imo with decent amount of personality and humor. Might have to get used to the CGI a little though. The Father-Daughter adventure begins! |
 |
| Urgh. Shock factor. |
| The sinopsis reads like the plot to Deca-Dence lol |
『❀ EPISODE 6 - EPISODE 6 ❀』  |

| I like the concept of a father and daughter as the protagonist duo, but all they did was fight and scream at each other for most of the episode, It just got annoying after a while. Also the kid's age is messed up, she should've been 14 maybe 12. |
  |
eibonslam said: Damn you're right.The sinopsis reads like the plot to Deca-Dence lol But in hindsight, I was looking a lot forward to this because of the Deca-Dence vibes, and I already love Memenpu and Gaganba's relationship, like an actual father-daughter duo. Pornstar-turned-VA Kanon Amane's debut as Memenpu brought me a more perky version of Deca-Dence's Natsume. Father Gaganba knows how to work his way around Memenpu and also like Kaburagi, is a loving father figure. Also, Satelight's visuals which hearken those of 2018's Juushinki Pandora with the Chinese themed setting is a plus. Nevertheless, if this is the 2nd coming of Deca-Dence, then I'll all ready for it! |
 |
| Even tho I haven't watched Deca-dance past episode 1 for some reason. I can tell how similar this all looks like Deca-dance. But, hey your boy is a sucker for Mecha shit... so, I'm looking forward to it. I'm enjoying the characters so far. A father-daughter story is always great to see. I don't mind CGI if it's done well or if it's not unbearable. Btw, I need to complete Deca-Dance ASAP. LOL |

| Oh he did the thing, jumping off the building casually. I guess this is one of those "humanity is living under/above/somewhere because of aliens/monsters/something while they also dig/search stuff". I mean it in a positive way tho. And the father - daughter dynamics are really on full speed in this one aren't they lol. Tho its all adventures and games until shit hits the fan and you realize, that you're just a kid unable to help. So you team up with your dad who owns a personal Gundam, and go kick some real ass. |
 |
| A Father-Daughter duo, we don't get to see something like this pretty often. Daughter wants to explore the world but father doesn't want her to do so, she's being a kid been the prime reason obviously but nevertheless I liked the chemistry between these two. Start's been good so looking forward for what they have in for us. |
 |
| Rewatching this a 2nd time, and I can say that now I'm definitely more hyped for this show. The names of the "Markers" father-daughter duo that is Memempu and Gagumber, I pretty much preferred the Japanese translated names. But the core basis of an Underground city where people called Workers divulge the Kaiju-ridden Labyrinth with "Mark Bot" mechs in Pinyin Colony (which the Chinese setting is similar to Juushinki Pandora a.k.a Last Hope, another Satelight show), this is a pretty fun start. Memempu is a more ridiculous but adventurous person that's just like Natsume, and Gagumber is a more loose and carefree, father figure version of Kaburagi. The first hints of this Urorop place, and the dynamics of Memempu and Lynda is a relationship like no other. With Junichi Wada directing and composing this with a few scriptwriters, I'm looking forward to the potential of Sacks & Guns a.k.a Sakugan. This is as heart-warming as Deca-Dence and as heart-breaking as Made In Abyss, that's for sure. |

| God damn, that was great. The world building in episode 1 is well done. It's no surprise, since it's done by the director who did SukaSuka and it really reminded me of episode 1 of SukaSuka. The attention to details in the background just sets the atmosphere of the world that this story takes place in. The story was nice too, with a focus on daughter/father relationship. The shocking development at the end and then the dialogue between Memenpuu and Gagumber was beautiful. The episode really flew by so fast. Really looking forward to this. Definitely a candidate to be anime of the season. |
| Woah that was a surprisingly good episode, this reminds me a lot of Deca-Dence. A lot of potential with this. Was really sad to see Lynda and her dad die like that but I guess the flags had been popping up all episode. |
 |
| This was amazing, I've been waiting for this show to air all year ever since the PVs dropped and was constantly concerned that it wouldn't fulfilled my expectations and this episode alleviated those thoughts. This has that feeling you get when you watch a show that's considered a classic, except it's happening in real time. If this show doesn't become a cult classic I'll be really surprised. |
| The setting of the show is quite intriguing and I liked the character interactions. Specially Memempu and Lynda's, they are both quite amusing. Also Lynda sure was wearing an interesting dress. I liked how things were progressing and was getting hopeful but alas the end of this episode was meh. Both Lynda and her dad were killed to show the reality of things and Memempu's resolve but it failed to achieve either of that as things were rushed and their deaths weren't impactful at all. Allright premise, thou still looking forward to seeing how things will go. |

| This was a great first episode. Seriously love the father-daughter relationship and their names are funny as hell. Seems like it's a mix of Deca-Dense and Made in Abyss. You can become a ''marker'' and explore the hidden labryinth. That is what she wants to become and what she strives for. But that second half of the episode. A Kaiju appeared and killed Lynda and her father. That was just out of nowhere. A wholesome moment dropped instantly to an emotional and shocking one. But they made up their mind and it's time to explore. The OST was just epic, great personalities,characters and the animation is fairly good. Same goes for the CGI. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| First episode for this series had its issues (particularly in the second half where events felt a tad too rushed and sudden) but at least it didn't leave me bored which I'll take for a first impressions. It's the kind of series though that makes me wish that a better studio like Trigger would have handled it instead for the animation to spice up the series. Hopefully the story kicks in and maintains a fun feel, and the father-daughter dynamic remains fresh too, there is a fine line between charming and annoying between the two of them and their 'conflicts' despite caring for each other as family. I've seen a lot of bad premieres this season so far, this one's not quite one of them. |
| The animation is great but the story... up until the monsters attack is shit. I mean it promotes the worst feminist propaganda ever, From the child abusing the father just because she wants to go somewhere to everyone supporting a 9 years child in attemoting a life threatening journing, to everyone telling Gagaumber he lost when his daughter tells him that because he is the sole money winner he isn't allow to keep most of the money he earns for himself. The ungratitude is huge. If she were my kid I would have made her arse red. Also her dream is dumb... there was a reason humans left the surface, going back without first establishing a safe route from kaijuu is suicide. And how about the idea of a genius child at 9... really now? That is total bs. |
| Really liked this episode. Mechas are cool and I also like the father and daughter duo. Some comedy in this also and I’m looking forward to see more of the story! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Awesome start! An emotional first episode, really looking forward to the continue ^^ |
 |
Such a great start. Reminds me a lot of Gurren Lagann. Quirky charas, mecha, working underground and the whole style of the rustic futuristic setting. Like the City has also something of Kamina City One of the highly anticipated title this Fall and this episode definitely left a strong impression. F for Walsh and Lynda. nightcrawlercyp said: The animation is great but the story... up until the monsters attack is shit.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I might have to get used with the CGI, but so far soo good Im loving this show. Gagamuba and his daughter are really likable characters. I dont have a problem with the CGI but I dont know about the pacing I think it's going a little bit too fast? I want to feel more of what they felt during the deaths of their closed ones, It did give me shock seeing it but they recovered out of it like its nothing. Hope this anime get better overtime I really have high expectations for this |
 |
| Well, that was quite unexpected. |
| This is more close to Gurren Lagann with Made in Abyss. Various ecosystems underground, dangerous creatures, exploration. And I wouldn't be surprise if Uroroq is Memenpu's mother, i mean a parent pointing a place of extreme danger to the child go, is Anime Parenting 101. |
 |
| Extremely enjoyable, mostly the parts that are nothing like Gurren Lagann |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| Yo I loved this so much! So hype for next week |
animejas said: It's the kind of series though that makes me wish that a better studio like Trigger would have handled it instead for the animation to spice up the series. Well, the name is Sakugan, so let's give them the benefit of the doubt for now. Now, saying all that, using sakuga animation for the first episode would be actually the best place to present it and hook people up. |
|
| It looks like a dad and daughter adventure, pretty loveable characters in the first episode and sets clear endgoal. Will be looking forward to future episodes to see them explore the world. |
| Well, I've been looking forward to this one since the first PV dropped a while ago, and I'm glad to say that at least this first episode has lived up to the imaginary hype I had for it in my mind. The CGI was the only thing that was a bit disappointing so far, but it wasn't so bad to ruin it for me. There's definitely some parallels between episode 1 of this and episode 1 of Gurren Lagann, but I can't imagine those similarities will continue beyond the basic "young person and their familial mentor traveling in a mech together" theme in future episodes. |
| Nice father/daughter relationship. Heh... when that other girl told Memenpu not to go with her, I sensed this would end badly (death flag) lol, and it did. Probably the best, most promising show this season for me. Can't wait to see what's the deal with the tower in the picture/her dream. |
| Satelight having it good this month. Could Urorop be the mom that left? (this gave me Made in Abyss vibes even before the wham moment). Having a picture of the place she has to find also reminds me of Patema Inverted. RIP Walsh and Lynda Big Tony looks rather unique, let's see how this father-daughter pair works it. I haven't seen much Brunet Stanislas's mechanical designs outside of Macross and M3. |

eibonslam said: The sinopsis reads like the plot to Deca-Dence lol I can see that. It made me think of Gurren Lagann. |
| Well, it looks great, and it built a good foundation for the plot. Let's see where it goes from here. I wonder if this'll be the type of show that would go full circle. Like in the last episode, Memenpu and Gaganba will be the father and daughter in the robot, and he would finally tell her she's grown up before they die or something. Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but the similar dynamics between the two families are very sus. |
| other than the meh CGI this episode was actually pretty good. the show has a good premise and overall seems really interesting. I like the idea of the farther daughter duo and they both seem like interesting characters. I just hope their relationship progresses past them just yelling at each other, although it almost certainly will judging by the end of this episode looking forward to see where this show goes as I tend to really like shows based around exploring cool and unknown worlds. Overall looking forward to next episode. |
  ★・・・・・・★ If you wish to treat this incident as our nation’s scheme, that is fine by me. History is written by the victors. All of your false accusations will soon be erased. ★・・・・・・★ |
| Iwahara Yuji's original character designs are good, especially Memenpu that has a nice and big forehead. The town also looked colorful and alive but I assume from the next episode the setting will change to the wild Labyrinth. |

| This looked absolutely gorgeous until that crappy ass monster from Arifureta decided to show up. Oh well still looks to be a great show. |
| Damn that was a good first episode. The setting felt like a bit of mix between Made in Abyss and Gurren Lagann. The father/daughter pair were instantly likeable. The ending especially was great. Everything from the mech getting shot down onward was pure kino. I love the premise too. There are tons of anime kids who want to go on dangerous life threatening adventures, but there are very few anime dads who want to follow along to keep them safe. |
| Yeah, now this is how you start off a promising anime, right off the bat you have the basic elements of the story, personal motives of the characters, the world they live in and add a good animation, and you got this hell of a good show. Some already said it, this looks like the mix of Gurren Lagann and Made in Abyss, but here the protagonists are no other than a little girl and his father, that's not something you see this days. Like almost every anime, I didn't know anything about this but now I'm fking hyped for Sakugan. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| The only real similarities between Made in Abyss/Gurren Lagaan to this show are the premise, and particularly the sory of fast pace and high energy (I'm thinking more TTGL for that of course.) The visual flair, color pallete, and art style also feels like something Studio Trigger would make. Other than that, this feels comfortably like it's own thing, and THAT is why I'm so excited about it. It has lots of panache and detail. I loved the emotional little violin song at the end of the episode, because so many other anime would stick with the violin and keyboard. But the track felt so layered and full, with the addition of the saxophone to kind of carry emotion in a way that made that track feel soooo unique. That little attention to detail is in everything from the background art (you can learn so much about our characters dynamic just by pausing at the beginning while our characters eat, and looking at their house) to the music. Sakugan really looks like it will be the highlight of the season. (FUCK 86. And even FUCK Platinum End). |
