| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So I merged the topics since this is the actual first episode. Episode discussion for the special is here. If something's wrong, send me a message. So after seeing the special there was not a lot of new stuff in this first episode. I still laugh at how pathetic the main guy is. Let's see how the second episode will be. |

| Well it was a pretty nice episode :) I guess it will pretty much follow the manga, which is good, cos it's damn crazy XD |
 |
| 6 out of 5 |
| omg XD i laughed a lot with just the first ep. i hadn't noticed the special of DMC, so i watched directly the ep 1. the main chara is the best :D then there's the crazy president and her vulgar language. not for children i soppose. btw, imo, metal is not all killing and destroying ^^ |
| Yeah a lot of it was the same as the special, but I loved it and still find it hilarious :) |

| I checked this anime out after hearing promising comments from people on MAL about the manga. First episode was pretty funny. I laughed pretty hard at some of the dialogue. Poor Negisha. Lol. Will look forward to more. "Trendy cafe rape." LOL |
| Scene with prospective girlfriend singing his old lyrics while the store music blared his new ones was priceless. |
| ...So some friend told me to watch this OVA because it's 'awesome' (take into account I didn't read the manga). Now I know I'll regret it for at least a month. P.S. This looks like K.I.S.S. kind of metal. Thanks but I'll stick to Edenbridge and Falconer. |
| Yes, I'm stupid enough to work for the government. |
Fujibayashi said: P.S. This looks like K.I.S.S. kind of metal. Thanks but I'll stick to Edenbridge and Falconer. KISS isn't metal. They're hard rock. And DMC is explicitly stated to be a death metal band, so there's nothing even remotely similar between them and KISS other than the fact that DMC dresses up in paint and costumes, a trend that wasn't even started by KISS, although certainly popularized by them. Refer here; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/Metal_Genealogy.jpg Focus DMC will be the funniest anime series ever made, even beating out Samurai Champloo for that honor. Remember folks, I called it. I hope to God this anime covers the manga all the way to Satanic Emperor. |
| Damn, this episode was funny. I was so not expecting that from reading the synopsis. But I can't wait to see more xD Cd store scene = effin sweet |
     |
| That was some of the weirdest stuff I've ever seen. I loved it. |
Fujibayashi said: well they look like black (not death) metal and play something that sounds kind of visual key.And DMC is explicitly stated to be a death metal band, Anyway this anime is fucking hilarious and I have high hopes for it. |

Mathes said: well they look like black (not death) metal and play something that sounds kind of visual key. That was a quote by me, not Fujibayashi, but you're wrong. They're clearly death metal. While face paint and costumes are normally associated with black metal, DMC's lyrics (do they ever mention Satan or God? No..), songs, and even style are far more reminiscient of death metal. Plus, if you've read the manga, they're specifically referred to as playing death metal on numerous occasions. Nice avatar and signature, by the way. |

Nice avatar and signature, by the way. yeah ok, if you only look at the lyrics themselves then you could call this death metal. Through if you also consider their look/corpsepaint, the general sound of what they play there and that they don't really growl ( :< ) you have something I'd maybe compare to... uhm.. Lordi? D: Well whatever I should really start the manga as it seems, or maybe better wait till the anime has finnished.. and thanks. :) |

Through if you also consider their look/corpsepaint, the general sound of what they play there and that they don't really growl ( :< ) Death metal bands don't necessarily all growl. Look at any symphonic death metal band, or even some of the blackened death metal bands. Also, what do you necessarily consider a growl? Does Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom utilize a death grunt, for example, or is he just singing in an extremely deep registrar? You're right though, those would all fit in more with a thrash/black metal influence. Mathes said: you have something I'd maybe compare to... uhm.. Lordi? D: Heh, I've always considered Lordi as just another hard rock band. Mathes said: Well whatever I should really start the manga as it seems, or maybe better wait till the anime has finnished.. and thanks. :) I don't think reading it will decrease your enjoyment of the series. In fact, for me, reading the manga has me even more hyped for the anime and live action film, since I can't wait to see how they translate some of the hilarious panels into real time action. |

| this is probably the wackiest episode i have seen this year/ |
| best. comedy. anime. EVA!!! |
  |
| Sucks that a good amount of this 1st episode was from the special, but I still laughed my ass off while watching this xD |
| ... ... Wow I watched this episode since I had nothing better to do totally expecting it to be stupid... but it was hilarious. The dialog especially when his two songs were going on at the same time was just too funny.. Will look forward to more. "Let me rape you, you fucking cow!" HAHAHA Poor Negisha. |
| Krauser II is simply awesome, and his voice is exactly what I imagined when reading the manga. Nice to see the play Negishi's cheesy music for the closing. |

KISS: I was made for lovin' you baby You were made for lovin' me And I can't get enough of you baby Can you get enough of me DMC: RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE |

But it is an amusing coincidence that Gene Simmons stars in the live action movie of this, as the lead singer of the rival death metal band ^_^ |

MagicalEmi said: But it is an amusing coincidence that Gene Simmons stars in the live action movie of this, as the lead singer of the rival death metal band ^_^ Yeah, I know. They needed a famous American rock/metal icon to play Jack Ill Darke, and Gene Simmons, being the fame whore that he is (and I don't even mean that negatively), was only too eager to sign up. Personally, I was imagining Jack Ill Darke as more of a Phil Anselmo or even Rob Zombie type, but Gene Simmons works okay, too. I can't wait for the live action film to be translated. |
tidusora said: They are definitely not death metal, but they do have death metal influences. To me, they seems like thrash, or if you really wanted to go with a deep insight, you could probably say deathcore, but the vocals are a bit more harsher. They're explicitly stated to be death metal by the manga, but in terms of sound, you're right, they sound more like a thrash band than anything. tidusora said: It is a great anime, however. This is like the Metalocalypse of Japan. lol I love Metalocalypse, but the shows are completely different. And honestly, DMC is even better than Metalocalypse. |
| I thought it was weird but it was funny XD |

| Oh wow. I don't even remember any of my favorite metal bands singing about rape like this. This is rather hilarious though. I don't remember laughing this much at Metalocalypse. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Lmfao. I loved this. xD The ending was just the icing on the cake. 5/5 easily. |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| Man that was great, first thing great transition to opening. |
 |
| Its common knowledge... Every trendy group or click needs to have a midget. "...that shit gets my pussy wet" >_< |

  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| lolwtf? This is awesome. The humor is hilarious! |
| OMG That was... AWESOME!! I was searching an anime like DMC. Negisha's song vs. DMC song scenes were adorable. XD |
| That was freaking amazing. |
   #NBHNC |
| LOL this anime should be great... |
     |
| Hilarious. Great start to the show. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Absolutely hilarious, some very good moments. |
| *bursts out into laughing* Man, that's what I needed after watching too much Kanon... This was just freaking hilarious. =D I laughed the whole time. |
| Hilarious. Although the jokes were so fast and intense that I feel like I'm going to forget most of them before I finish laughing. Probably a fairly rewatchable series. |
| This is way too funny. It's a shame that it's only 12 episodes from 14 minutes each. Poor main lead XD |
| It was kinda the same as the special, but still it was hilarious. |
 |
| I giggled once, and that was when those fans at the store were bobbing their heads. I didn't laugh. I had to give a shot since everyone talked so well about it and how hilarious it was. I didn't see it, sorry DMC fans. <3 |
 |
| ROFL...why didn't I watch this anime sooner. It's so bloody awesome. |
 |
| Wahahahahaa xD What a crazy episode!! I can't stop laughing ^^ ....and what's this? ... tears? ^^ |
| Sorry, my English isn't perfect ^^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "...because the people who are crazy enough to think that they change the world are the ones who do..." |
| Well, DMC and Beck are much alike, and main chars too (Negashi = Koyuki, Aikawa = Maho). It means... there's already original "rock-music anime style", like spokon about sports? Let's see, let's see... Ep 1 made me shit bricks. |
| This was so awesome and fast paced comedy i couldn't laugh and keep up with the subs at the same time goddamn! This looks promising "...now, with this moment, I can say it! IM GONNA @£!# YOU, YA &%#!@!% %$!#§ #@#!" |
