Decent episode. Hopefully next week will show a bit more about how the two protagonists are going to treat each other and how they'll work with each other.

I'm really excited to see where this goes! Most shounen-ai is used for comedy, but I really think this will be different (obviously)

Also, Keika really reminds em of Yato, so thats awesome.

I'm not sure what to think about this. It wasn't the best, but still I can see potential and I'm curious where this goes, so I'll definitely watch at least 3 episodes :3

Yeh hopefully it will be different to other shounen-ai and go a different route. And yeh xD i see the Yato in Keika.

It promising first episode, I'm pretty interested.
Long Haired MC is annoying as hell, he is too hyperactive.
White Haired MC cool and serious. Their interactions might get interesing. Let's see how it'll turn out.

So...seems this is just Ling Qi with a Japanese dub instead of the Chinese one.
Was actually hoping they'd have improved on it, made the animation a little bit better but naah...just a different dub. That's it. K. =/

Not the best first episode. Some humor was placed at the bad time, and there was quite a lot of it for a series without the 'comedy' genre.
I'm not overly fond of the MC, tho his calm companion is much more likable
I like the voices much more in japanese, I couldn't watch it chinese after several tries

The soundtrack really annoys me for some reason - it just doesn't seem to fit with the situations, and they might just as well not have one in the first place OTL.
I don't understand how the two main guys could've gotten so attached to each other in the short amount of time that they knew each other. It might turn out that the white-hair guy knew the longhaired dude from before (??), but the longhaired one seemed to start caring about the other way too quick.

The overall pacing of the episode seemed a bit too fast, too.

Once we seize space, we'll all...

Blacked-haired guy was kinda annoying, but hopefully, he'll probably get better in the next episodes. White-haired guy is pretty cool. The humor was kinda awkwardly paced but I feel like this is a series that I won't drop.

You are not wrong,

I already watched the Chinese version so yeah they got problem with the pacing in the beginning but I think it got better later.

The first episode was okay, it just starts off right away with not really any backstory. Hopefully future episodes cover the history of Spiritpact. The OP and ED were decent. Main character's personality is actually quite good though. Always spontaneous actually made the first episode quite entertaining. I don't expect much from the series though, just seems average.

Weird pacing, the humor reminds of Gravitation (I'm not sure if thats a good thing)
I always go into BL anime with the lowest of expectations so I'm not disappointed, lol. I'll probably stick with it regardless.

...so this is a gay Noragami? It's nearly identical in plot lol. I watched the first episode and it also reminded me a lot of Gravitation with the way Shuichi spun out of control with the side reactions and funny faces.
Disappointed and will be removing from my planned to watch list. hope it gets better for y'all who are going to continue watching!

Apparently from this web article https://myanimelist.net/news/48982717 it states the voice actors as...

Cast
Keika You: Yuuichi Iguchi
Ki Tanmoku: Shunsuke Takeuchi
Shiyou Shin: Rumi Ookubo

Kinda weird to hear the characters speaking in japanese and calling each other by japanese names after getting used to the original chinese version.

Well, it's pretty much the same so far. I wonder if they're gonna make any major change in the next episodes.

I gave it a try and I must say it's quite funny. I also love the ending song. Yep, definitely a good song. I'm not into BL though so I'll probably stop at one point.

This was awful. I question if I actually watched the same episode as some of the people here.
Wasn't funny.
Several minutes with a transparent pattern across the screen at the beginning, the point of that was lost on me.
Character interactions were terrible.
Main character is annoying.

Sorry, random question, but who's the character on your icon? He looks familiar :)

I expected more from this show but it wasn't bad either. I'm going to follow it because I like the guy with the white hair haha

Hmmm, so it was as I expected - Ling Qi with just a japanese dub and nothing new : Keika's voice was fitting (and kinda really reminded me of Jinghua's), but Ki's sounds weird and too rough/husky and I don't like it - the chinese one had the same feel but not exactly (I don't know how to explain it tho).
The one thing I liked the most was the OST - still the same songs that I love <3 (And I thought they will also change them, so yay ^_^)
Overall I thought it was going to be worse so may be I will give it a shot

I totally agree with you. I preferred the Chinese voices over the Japanese.

I think this seemed very fast paced. Hopefully it slows down a lot or I might drop it. Keika is really damn annoying and is not really giving me any reason to want to continue watching after this episode. I guess I will try one or two more.

Right :) Somehow Ki sounds like an older seme and reminds me of Usagi or Takano, but come on he's not that old (or maybe that's just me)
