THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I don't know what to think of the content. Production is definitely low budget.

EDIT: Now that I've seen the episode with subs. I gotta say the dialogue kinda escapes me. It's interesting, but I need something more. I'll watch the next episodes and see where this goes.

Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

I think I'm one of the only people that actually liked this. Budget is kinda crappy, but the GAR was strong in this one.

Tight budget, but certainly not the trainwreck I've come to expect from DEEN. In fact, this anime is a good argument for me to pick up the manga once scans are finished. The opening was kinda nice as well.

People just have strange expectations nowadays...

So now I watched it and all I can say is, the beginning almost put me to sleep, but it got better. I like the way this is presented in the second half, I love the time period and old "rituals" like this old instruments.
I will keep watching and hope that it will get better.

if you don't like the show then go watch something else. why are you still posting here? I am beginning to think you're one of those kids who changes his/her age online in order to fit in with everyone else in certain discussions.

Come on guys it wasn't that bad. It's a historical seinen, what did you expect?
I actually found it quite relaxing, and the slow pace was refreshing. I'll keep watching this during my coffee breaks :)

Not bad. Yes, the budget is low (it was in Jojo too, but they fix it with lots of... idk, spirit?), but the GAR is really necesary in this time and age :P.

I will stick around for the second episode because Jojo meets Samurai is always a swell time. I also found it hilarious;

Narrator - "... as well as a legitimate eccentric, Maeda Keniji"
Fat Guy - "It's true that you are a very well-known eccentric."

These character designs have the same problem as moeblob characters. Hairdo aside, they all look the exact bloody same so I can't remember who is who. I honestly don't even know how many characters were in this episode.

Also eh, cheap ass show. Jojo's got by that by exploding with colour and spirit while this kinda has nothing

Supposedly, I should wait for the other part of the story, right. Looked promising in the middle.

Anyway, there's something off here - if they wanted to make a tribute to Maeda's significance in Japanese history, it would have been better to drop the shounen cliches - the byakko-charged arrows, battle of auras. Comes superficial and the animation (if there was one) didn't help much.

Huehuehue!

Overall a pretty cliche and average first episode, I'm usually a fan of historical seinen, this hasn't really grabbed my attention yet though.
