THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Hmm, I had mixed thoughts on the first episode.

They introduced the main characters and animation production quality isn't actually bad for a Chinese anime production. MC seems to have a talent for gaming. There's some fan service and awkward comedy scenes. I can't stand that cat for some reason

Meh start.

Seems decent so far, didn't realize it was only 13 minutes.

The synopsis sounds cool but I'm not sure how the actual show is gonna hold up, anyway will watch and see I guess.

Well, it's not that bad.

Every mystery novel I ever read, the great detective was such an arrogant fuck you could replace 70% of his dialogue with 'Are you stupid?' and the conversation would still make sense.

Interesting series...

First place, a private academy when a young girl memories a boy...
second place, a dark world when a young boy memories a the first girl and..

...flashback when both met!!!

But here there is a important question, WHY? i think in the quicly sequences of imagens there is a part of the answer, and the other part we will watch in the next episodes!!!

6/10 for this interesting start!!!

It doesn't look so bad for the moment, but I'm no fan of this unncessary fanservice moments (girl in the beginning, also the kiss in the pool)

The animation's pretty fluid and the character designs aren't too bad. The main character seems pretty OP but he seems to be fighting a never ending battle. Curious where this going - think I'll give it a chance. I love cats but this one's more on the annoying side.

Decent start for this first episode. The animation looks nice. The OP and ED sounds good. The cat can be a bit annoying. Looks like the MC is protecting something. His powers are pretty cool.

This was actually a pretty decent start. Nothing too extraordinary but I am pretty interested in what direction this can do. Visuals are pretty damn average but there were some pretty decent shots and animation. But the CGI is the most noticeable which can be irritating... but then again, this is China, so I really can't expect much in this case.

But it's pretty fine. Although I like the MC to be fair.

Well, looks like Haoliners Animation League is improving the quality of the animation, but damn the script looks terrible as always,

Since it's only 13~ minutes long I will give it another episode before deciding to drop it or not.

I'm only watching one Haoliners anime per season to see if the animation has improved. This time it has, a little. So far. I think. Also, I hope that in this one both the plot and the characters will be interesting. I really do.

Also 15 minute episodes? Wow. That's gonna be either a good or a bad thing.

Also, it seems like shit's gonna go down...

A bit too short to judge, particularly with the in media res start with multiple flashbacks, it's hard to tell where the story is going. Still, the concept sounds interesting. Animation was a little silly in places but they blended the 2D and 3D elements really well.

So this is a chinese anime? Not bad. Gonna give it a try, like, 3-4 episodes to see if it's as good as the synopsis makes it to be. Because this episode didn't really get me excited. The animation is decent, tho.

...production quality isn't actually bad for a Chinese anime production.


Emon Animation Company is pleased to announce his first anime: Gin No Guardian (The Silver Guardian). Marking the return to production of Murahama Shouji, co- founder of Studio Gonzo (Blue Submarine No. 6, Last Exile, Hellsing…), EMON was created in October 2015 and is the Japanese branch of the Chinese animation company, Haoliners.


Technically speaking, it's a Japanese production. Nonetheless, I guess Haoliners have learned their lesson from Bloodivores and hired a full Japanese production staff with a notable producer and director with vast years of experience. Let's see how this plays out and I hope the writing and cohesion of the story is better than Bloodivores. Art and animation is as good as the norm (for its genre). I'm a bit saddened it is only 15 mins long while the first episode felt like an extended version of the trailer. Looking forward to more!

The last 2 animes I watched that were produced by Emon had really disappointing endings. Not feeling very positive about this one. I'm only watching it because there's a cat. LOL!!

What was going on is this episode? I just watched the first episode of AoT season 2, so I thought I would watch some other new anime, but I mean what was going on. It seemed cool at parts and it could turn out well, but the first episode confused me on when and where all of these seemingly random events were going on. I am not going to drop the series because it has some potential and it is only the first episode, but I hope the confusion I have gets cleared up. I don't think I have seen a 15 min. anime before, so at least that is different.

Saw this on CR while checking out what's new for the season and jeez, bad vibes from just skimming through the synopsis on CR. Just another loser type male lead and most beautiful girl in school coupling with some below average action. Felt more or less like a self insert kind of fictional story.

Since it was only 15 minutes and we literally got no context as to what's going on with the fighting, me thinking it is just a game, by the summary, gave me goosebumps when the girl started monologuing dramatically, from the cringe.

It was fine. I didn't really find the first episode boring nor did I find the premise off putting but the presentation was really bad. Especially the flashback scene and the flash of random scenes at the end, like what the hell? It's not even a finale yet and the flashback just felt really out of place

Fudge this was horrible. Bad scripting. Bad animation. And honestly not even that much happened. I will give it a few more episodes since it is short form. But I don't see it going anywhere.

Yeah, it looks suspiciously like Bloodiwhores, which scarred me enough for me to stay very far away from any Chinese series for the previous season, I didn't even check them out, just avoided straight up. I recovered a bit and decided to give Chinese animation another chance... but it doesn't seem like anything about it changed for the better... well, I feel generous enough to apply the 3 episode rule, in any case.

To me, it seemed sooooooo basic and really unoriginal. Yes, most adventure/fantasy/shounen like this are similar and play by the same book but in this one, although it was only the first episode and 13 minutes, I'm just amazed at how they could fit all the aspects of an overused story line into a pilot. Buuuut, its only the first episode and I'll give it a few more episodes before I decide that its rubbish. Just red flags everywhere so far though....
