| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Quite a intriguing start with Rikka and the opening minutes. It looks like her life changes dramatically after her father is attacked. That scene when he sacrificed himself for her daughter was brutal to watch. I also have to admit that Rikka/Lily is quite a badass after taking her mask (the Black Fox makeover). The action looks fluid with solid OST. Also, I do find the character chemistry to be charming. Mia is a mysterious character that I find somewhat likable. The technology is also noticable, nothing too mindblowing but has advanced elements in this timeline. |

| This was interesting, definitely enjoyed. Was hoping for a tv-series, but well this was fine too |

| I enjoyed my time with this movie. The story is very traditional. It didn't really get in depth with any aspects and some arcs came out of nowhere, but the story structure was clear and straightfoward, which is nice once in a while. The characters were pretty good (MELISSA IS BEST GIRL) and the animation was incredibly solid. Overall, this is a good movie but it should have been a tv-series so that it could have more in depth in its characters and story. |
| Pretty basic premise or rather said the elements that were thrown together, but I liked how it was executed. Although, this indeed could've been more impactful with a longer run time. Still, given the time frame at hand it was more than serviceable. Visuals and sound were quite solid and I had some fun. Decent popcorn-movie. Maybe there will be a TV-sequel in the future. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That's it? Only one episode? |

| Nothing impressive! |
| I really enjoyed watching this movie. The first part of the movie with Rikka and her grandfather with the ninja stuff was nice to watch. Though I did laugh at the use of explosives that made a hole through the roof. The scene with the attack was sad to watch. Poor Rikka, to lose both her father and grandfather. Good thing they were able to defeat Mia's father. For him to do experiments on his own daughter That's sad. Poor Mia. Overall, quite a solid movie. 7/10. Hope there is a sequel in the future. I would prefer it if the make a TV series. |
 |
If so, something like 90 minutes of content at least. |
|
| It's a good cliche movie, 6/10. |
| Nothing impressive! |
it already had 90 minutes of cliche & U want more. |
| Nothing impressive! |
| How is this already out? Theatrical premiere was supposed to be tomorrow and usually movies aren't available online for months :S |

| I'm dissapointed because it was actually enjoyable. So for those of you who don't know, this was supposed to be a TV series, most probably a 2 cour one that had production problems and was semi canceled, so this is basically what they salvaged out of that. The first 22 minutes are fantastic and that's because that was supposed to the first episode. After that it gets noticeably fast paced, uneven character personalities, akward character development and the movie ends without even confronting the main villian. It's sad because it was still somewhat enjoyable. I liked the characters, the setting, the music, the atmosphere and this really could've been a really chill action ninja Anime but unfortunately it got lost in production hell It's a pity really |

| at least Crunchyroll stylized the title correctly, BLACKFOX, all caps and all one word. Anyway, I hope this gets sequels... |
 |
| it was OK, not bad & not too good either the pacing was all over the place. VA, Sound design and Action scenes were really good though~ |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| damn i hope we get a sequel so Melissa is also an artificial intelligence robot just like the animal drones that Rikkas father created so that means Melissa is another one of his creation i guess the artificial intelligence science is whats really wanted by the enemy Mia and Rikka are hot but i find Rikka's adult form and hair style more sexy and the action is cool as expected of a movie with lots of sakuga |
| The dad cries out that the animals weren't meant for warfare.. And yet his daughter runs around perfectly using them for Intel gathering, surveillance and infiltration lol. At least they stopped her from killing Mia I guess. The animation, art and music were nice. Unfortunately I didn't find the story or characters overly engaging. It wasn't a bad movie, nor a particularly great one either imo. Edit: I would be interested if this had a season to follow, as I can't help but feel the characters didn't have enough time to shine. |

| Great animation and sound quality. Story is bland and kinda pretentious and characters aren’t particularly well-written at all. It’s a one off cashgrab, made for whatever additional reason I’m not even sure. |
 |
| not sure if it was a wise decision to take a 2 cour anime and compress it into this mess. the story is so rushed and incomprehensible that it all just leads to question "where is this going?" was this supposed to be a revenge story? they show the main villain right away and keep him hidden up until the end with this unnecessary cliffhanger i guess the only redeeming point of this movie are those 2 fights, one at the beginning and one at the culmination. even tho it makes no sense why they suddenly go full mob psycho but i guess people don't care about this shit as long as the animation is fluid |

 There's no such thing as a "man of culture", you are a COOMER. Go outside. |
| It started well but ultimately, felt like not much was achieved here. I'm somewhere around the 3-4 range for this one sadly. |
| marked it as completed and it said i watched 24 episodes lol. thanks, MAL. BLACKFOX was a real feast for the eyes, and I really enjoyed the "world" of it I hope it does really well in Japanese theaters so we can get sequels. Really not sure how people didn't just have fun with this one. The story did feel fast paced but I thought it was very entertaining. Character development was rushed but I really don't see how people are complaining that they didn't face the main villain. It would be even MORE rushed if they tried to fit that in as well. You can only fit so much in under 2 hours, and I'd argue they still put too much in. If this was a TV series they could've spent a lot more time establishing a friendship before the "Reveal" and all t hat, more time with Mia's backstory, ect ect. So I won't say it's perfect, but there's a lot of weird things people are complaining about. It's was still easy to follow/understand and looked gorgeous. It made me want more. |

| After reading this was going to be a 24 episodes anime and got cancelled due to production issues, I now understand why it feels like an rushed and unfinished product. Even as a 10 episodes anime it could have been worked better than a 1.5 hours movie. It is sad to see it die like this, the premise looked a bit interesting, but nothing nor anyone had enough screentime to be meaningfully enough. |
 |
| You could tell watching this movie that it was never meant to be a movie judging by its structure and overall look. I enjoyed the story despite it being pretty straightforward, it was okay for what it was really. The fight against the professor inside the building was actually incredible, i really enjoyed that scene. However I did find some issues throughout the movie, like the HORRENDOUS CGI, which has to be one of the worst I've seen in recent memory.. like those pedestrian models were awful. Also there were some shots where the characters were off model. Regardless, this is a solid 7/10. Looking forward to a continuation if it ever gets any, but I don't really see this project being successful in japanese theaters. |
 |
| Was surprisingly a very good movie hope we get a 2nd one so they can complete the story an easy 9/10 since it was very enjoyable to watch it and it didnt feel like u watched it for 90mins time flew by really quick unlike at some when u check every few mins how much time there is left to already finish watchin it..... |
 |
| Very nice animation and enjoyable overall, but I feel that the characters and the overarching plot were butchered up. |
 |
| I'm using gloogle translator Simply one of the worst anime I've ever seen, Rikka says she's going to abandon everything to get revenge, in the next scene she's working for a guy, she's after a cat, and she's going to live with another girl, like she's will you abandon everything being with someone? this is very contradictory, then she meets Mia, and out of nowhere they become friends because there is not much development between them, the anime out of nowhere becomes a totally powerless Super Powers anime, Mia's father experimented with her she that wasn't much explored but super powers? it was supposed to be a revenge anime! the script totally escapes the proposal started in the 20 minutes of the movie, everything is thrown in the trash to become a super power anime, of course I had shown Mia before, that was pretty bad, the movie after 20 minutes decays a lot in the script , the animation is good but the script is very bad. final grade 2/10 |
| Overall I really liked this movie, animation is really good, a little use of CGI but mostly for the background crowd and the robot they battled. However it didn't hinder me from enjoying it. I really liked the soundtrack.. Really need that at some point. My only complaint, the pacing. Since the release of the special preview last week, I had high hopes for at least a playtime of 2 hours. But to see that the special preview was also included in this movie and yet the playtime was only 1 hour 30 minutes, is quite a let down. Nevertheless, it's a bit generous since the pacing was pretty bad, but I really enjoyed this movie, so 8/10 gunslider11 said: Animation mostly good throughout, significant cgi for robots and less important aspects, not a dealbreaker, sakuga is good. Storyline starts out strong enough, but falls apart in the last 30-45 min. Could be the source material, could be the plot was compressed too much. Relationships go underdeveloped so interactions feel forced, and MC mindset and physical power level changes gave me whiplash. Really would have helped to add 30 min or stretch it out to a full season. EDIT: Just read that it was planned as a 24 ep season but got canceled. That is really disappointing. I saw a lot of potential for an excellent show in this one, between animation and story, but it got mashed into one movie. If this is true, than this would have been so much better if it ran for 24 episodes, meaning we potentially could have had a proper conclusion with them taking down Brad for a proper finale. Such a shame, now to hope if we ever get a sequel. |

| Looking at the ending credits, there were damn lots of studios involved. The most surprising (for me) though - i saw the name of my country in there, WTF?! |
| if it was an actually series they couldv fleshed out characters and the develop the story. MC becomes literally sasuke with her rage for vengeance |
 |
| I've never actually posted on any forums on this site before, but I felt like I had to for this movie. When I saw there was a forum called episode one, I have to ask. Is this going to be an anime made after this movie. Because that would be amazing! |
| 24 “it was ok” votes?? Just watched it again, my God is this a masterpiece. Art, animation, fights, slight yuri undertones, the feels. Couldn’t want any more out of anime. Had been waiting for this for some time and wasn’t disappointed at all. Definitely looks like we’ll get a sequel as well based on the ending The Melissa part was pretty obvious when Mia went “you’re...” because Melissa didn’t want to show her cut That final fight scene has OG naruto levels of beauty. Gonna be the underrated gem of the season I can already tell. |
 |
| i think even a 1 cour TV series (11-13 TV episodes) would be enough to make this more enjoyable and have a conclusive ending like they can fight the final boss together with Melissa so sad that they made it a movie with the same time length of just 3 regular TV episodes damn or even just another additional 30 minutes to have that final boss fight would be enough imo |
| This is literally trite Hollywood YA garb in anime form. The research shit is fucking tangential, not relevant to the film outside of the bad guy scientist bad guy being jealous and crazy. The animal tech research used for robo weapons don't matter outside of our erratic and terrible MC having more gadgets to use and talk to. They're tools with "personality". It would have just been Lily/Rikka's quest against the typical corporate head who killed her family and yeeted their research but because we needed there to be TWO people her dad pissed off and so we would need multiple films, this sidequest adventure had to happen so the MC can get her suit in the climax and this could be a shitty ass prologue like Battle Angel Alita! Fuck this movie! This project is either getting more movies or is gonna be left in the dust. I don't see any other options here given these types of movies in Hollywood. |

|
| ok so basically the animation is good. thats really it. i liked the MCs design. plot was bad tho and unfinished. lets hope for a season. |
| it was good, but have to say some of the things in the movie was dumb , like how stupid mia was smh and not enough of Melissa ( the robot girl) she was my fave but still the movie was nice but with that ending i cant help but hope maybe there'll be more i mean i could see like a tv series sequel or even another movie? (but id prefer a tv series or even a couple of ovas more tbh) but yeah nonetheless the movie was a good watch |
| "one step at a time" |
| It ended up being like a superhero origin story. But no sequel has been announced yet. |
