Look for a Kuro-hana release in the next couple of days. I work with them and the first episode was, in my opinion, pretty good.

Yeah it is a power shonen. I don't think it will reach FMA(IMO the best shonen I have seen), but I bet everything that it will be better than Bleach or Naruto, probably even better than Claymore, but I can't say it for sure after watching only one episode.

(Everything in this post is an IMO, so all naruto kiddies may keep on believing naruto is the best XD)

On agreement with Zoiq here.

If it follows standard shounen ways then we gotta have the hopefully epic journey to gather all the star people and then defeat a bunch of bad guys with an epic final battle and have Taitou bang his not blood related sister, then all will be good :D

Generic young protagonist guy is annoying, though not nearly so much as his sister. For the time being I'm watching this show for the villains. I'll give the good guys a couple episodes to prove their worth.

Suzumura Kenichi voicing the main character? I'm in.

It was ok, giving it time to get better. If it's bad I'll just watch it for SuzuKen.

Immensely enjoyed this first episode, excellent shounen type action and a nice start for the story but could evolve in to so much more. Along side Gundam 00 this would have to be my favorite show of the season so far.

I thought it was a very generic first episode, didn't really grab me. I'll keep watching simply because I have high expectations.

Just don't set those expectations to high, caue then all you'll end up doing is bashing it, which annoys a lot of people whom might like it.

For my opinion, I say the show has promise, let's just hope it fulfills that promise. And most likly it won't touch Fullmetal Alchemist, but let's not compare them afterall.

The Jyuushin Enbu mnga is from the same mangaka, so the charadesign is similar.

That's the only thing I don't like about it, the characters look too similar. Otherwise, I like it and hope the sister doesn't get anymore annoying.

I saw a lot of promise. I think this could be a very good one or an ok generic. I liked the overall feel.

Yeah, from the first preview image i saw for this anime it was instantly obvious it was drawn by the same guy. Which isn't really a bad thing.

Overall I really liked the episode, and it looks like this series has some promise, and finally a good action anime for the new season. So far the dead guy (already forgot his name) is my favorite character, despite the "you lack hatred" line being rather corny.

I have to wonder just how many episodes it'll be till he gets his sword back though, kinda sucks that he lost it right away.

Just watched it- it was pretty good. It got right to the action, but still kept a storyline. I guess I'll be watching this one, especially since K-H is subbing it.
