| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- They advertised this as a sort of fictional card game in their world but this felt like a sci-fi thriller. Seems it's taking on a serious approach to the plot too with the King and characters. The battle itself has its set of rules, summons, attack points, etc. It doesn't seem like a difficult game to learn tbh. There's probably more mechanics later down in the story but they're keeping it straightforward. Not bad actually, I'm interested to see where this goes. |

| The adaptation of Aniplex's brand new TCG Build Divide released alongside this show, and split-cour at that (2nd Cour @ Spring 2022). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Build_Divide Liden Films' in-house debut director (Yuki Komada), created by Homura Kawamoto of Kakegurui fame, character designs by Shinpei Tomooka of Trinity Seven fame, this would easily be shunned by many who don't care for game adaptations. This reminds me of 8-Bit's recent Zenonzard The Animation, with the base TCG rules and play explained between newbie player-cum-MC Teruhito Kurabe and veteran player Sakura Banka who is obsessed with him from the get-go. Kurabe might as well get started immediately, because his objective is to defeat the King with his inept knowledge about the game. Kurabe's a true master. For a start, this premiere episode does what it does best: get the audience to know how the TCG works as it serves the basis for the numerous battles for 24 episodes, and getting the Japanese hyped if they purchase the cards to do battle with people. Liden Films's production values are quite competent, I'm very surprised and not because it's Aniplex behind this mixed-media project, which gives me a Yu-Gi-Oh kinda similar effect. I'll give this show that: to last 24 episodes with a split-cour, and funded by Aniplex of all companies, I'm expecting Build Divide to stand out from the rest of the abominable game adaptations we've got recently. LET THE GAMES BEGIN. |

| So... it seems like it is a card-based anime. This episode was mostly the introduction to the game and how it is played between two players. Lots of rules are involved in the game as expected from a card game and my experience with cards is still the same. LOL Well, the visuals look good, and what's with the OST. Why is it so good? I was really into the OST of this show. It's been a long time since I have watched a show like this or should I say the last time I watched something like this was some god damn awesome Yu-Gi-Oh shit. Was going to skip it, glad that didn't. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| For anyone who wants to learn more about the rules I made another thread with a YouTube link. Haven't had a chance to watch this yet but I'm excited first impressions seem positive! I think I read that this show is airing on like 12 channels or something so they're confident in the product. |
 |
| Card game tutorial in a form of an anime! There were countless card game anime and they decide to cram all the ruling into one episode? That was boring to watch and hard to understand what is going on. |
| Haven’t watched this yet but I haven’t watched any card game anime since I was a kid (Yu-Gi-Oh). Is this more action-oriented and not intended only for kids? |

More or less. The card battles feel more action-y and have a YGO feel to them. The anime itself gives off an atmosphere that it's for older audiences and not really for children. Oh ok thanks, might give this a watch then |
| what the f**k ,,,, |
| That girl clearly didn't trust in the heart of the cards |
| I've been starved for a good card game anime (that isn't YGO or the battle spirits Dan saga) and this one is off to such a promising start. I'm super excited to see where it'll go. The plot seems interesting even though we don't have a whole lot of it yet, so I hope Build Divide is going to keep this momentum and really nail it. |
| I like Sakura's character design (and honestly the visuals in general) and some of the soundtracks were quite nice. Episode mainly felt like just exposition for the cards and all but I suppose it's needed. With the score this currently has, I was expecting worse honestly and I'm interesting in seeing how things play out from here |
 |
| The bread is crying. Another crap card battle show with crap characters. |
| Never watched a card-game anime before but I thought this was decent. |

| Oh great jaaaz great another YU GI OH knock off. |
| "BANIDAS!" i've heard that before! oh i remember its Shadowverse! haha 3/5. somebody already said it: the OST is similar to Magatsu Wahrheit |
 |
| It was like WIXOSS and a Yugi Oh got together and had a baby. |
| If this card game lasts longer than zenonzardo Imma be sad and impress. |
| Seems pretty promising, loved everything about it. Gotta say it seemed quite complex but still nice. Also, incredible OST. Looking forward to watching the next episode, haha. |
  I walk barefoot even though it's painful Because I want to be sure you notice my footprints |
| Don't quite understand the game, however I still enjoyed the episode. I loved the visual effects during the fight too. Excited for the next episode :] |
| Disappointing to say the least. Explaining the rules is something that'd help more TCG anime, but this felt less like teaching Teruto how to play the game and more like Sakura triple-tapping her Cheese Factory. Writing is, frankly, pathetic, barely anything makes sense, and that's already with the caveat of barely getting any details on anyone or anything. That said, it's at least marginally intriguing what's going on with the main girl, so it gets 1 remaining chance, though I'm not at all expecting a change. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Most blatantly advert-y series I've ever seen, and some lackluster animation to be honest, but I did like the atmosphere somewhat So could be watchable depending on how this develops, but can't really see this being anywhere near as good as SIW I'm fairly sure this just being an inou battle without any TCG shit would be better, but they need to sell the cards I guess |
| I stated watching it all due to Chelly singing the OP which I sadly didn't get to hear but will in the next ep. Looks interesting and as sb else said feels like a WIXOSS x YU GI OH series but we'll see. |
| A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over? |
| Fucking awful, 2nd worst show after Tesla Note this season. |

| Just watched (still have 5 new currently airing anime to watch that's already at ep 3... lol) Interesting episode, haven't seen many animes with tutorial episode at the start, most of them just explains as the anime goes along and assume viewers can understand them. Also, RIP Bear Bread (T_T), at least the birds are happily eating you. ___ ___ ___ As for "card game clones" there are limitations to card games... pretty much most of them all need HP, Atk, Def, etc etc. That's why most if not all card games pretty much all feel the same. The only unique thing they can do is character art and some mechanics. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Felt like i watched a card game with barely any rules, just whatever bs they could come up with to win as long as it sounded and looked cool i guess :D Anyhow this shitshow easy drop for me. |
