I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| hmm Nice and interesting. I gonna follow this. |
 |
| I could not restrain myself so i watched the raw..Of course i didn't understant even the half but let me say that this is good..For me at least.The beggining with the blood rain built up a mysterious atmosphere that i loved.The op was good.Not my favorite song..Btw Shiki's eyes are incredibly red!He is like a vampire..But man he swang his sword amazingly..I liked Akira fighting in a manly way.It was nice to see him not as a uke! Also the blood was like tomato juice.It should be darker.It didn't look realistic at all.. Next episode Gunzi and old man!!!YAY!!!!I'm definitely watching!! |
 |
| !!!!!! GAAAAAHHHH !!!!!!! ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━!!!!! My excitement is justified. Been waiting YEARS for this... GRANRODEO is also my favourite band... seriously fangamsed to hell at the opening I was really hoping to watch this live, but I was in uni at the time. Stoopid time difference... Anyhoo..... *fangasms* Can't wait for GUNJI <3 (mmm, Taniyama Kishou) |

| Kyaa! I'm totally hoping that I'll get to watch it subbed soon, but even raw oh my. I have been wishing for this anime so long it's freaking ridiculous. I can't wait for next week. I want to see Rin and Motomi! So far so good. |
Well one thing I've learned from this experience, is that a princess is still a princesss even when she is naked. |
| Animation quality sucks big time. Other than that, it's perfect. |
 |
| Shiki. SHIKI. <3 Fffffuuu-- I can't help fangirling over this. I've waited so long, my days of being a fujoshi are all coming back to me. |

| >User since 2008 Please god help me quit this website. Such great community that doesn't even know how demographics work, AND gives """detailed"""" reviews after first episodes. |
| That guy could surely killed him, but sadly it would just end like that. Well no spoiler but it said a lot in characters information. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Animation kinda sucks, but aside from that... I LOVE IT!! |
| Its that Shiki I see thar? fufufufuuu red eyes ftw~ Keisuke is too cute~ >u<// Can't wait for the screwdrivers! /shotx10000000 Although I don't remember his hair being that spikey in the game though. :/ The main problems I see from the first ep is that the animation can either fail horribly or be uberly awesomely cool. I had really high expectations for the animation since this is from A-1 Pictures. :c And that the pacing was kinda... meh. It felt like everything was fast-forwarded and had very little depth/detail. But that is just me. I am not really that big of a fan of those kinda first eps. o3o;; YAY FOR TOMATO JUICE BLOOD~~~ |
| DeviantART: apple-seed.deviantart.com |
| The animation...was really horrible ;__; But I'm still psyched up about this episode. Shiki was definitely pwning everyone's asses, but why was the blood crayon red? Anyway, can't wait for subs and my Gunzi baby. I've changed my profile in honor of his soon to be animated awesomeness! |
| The Anime in the beginning shows more of how he got into toshima, unlike the manga xD iv been following me manga for some time @ ^@ n its killin me sincei gota wait a year for the 6th book to come out T ^T |
 |
| It was OK for a first episode but worse than I expected For one the blood looked very fake. I wish they'd use a darker shade of red to make it more real. And the animation sucks. Also the art was very bad 70% of the time. And no teddy bear in the first episode Best thing about the episode: The preview!!! Gunji's voice!!! And yeah Rin's clothes ;) Starting this off with 7/10 |
| I really loved the ED. It's a real shame that it only will last for 1 episode, but at least the other artists look good. |
| My, how their blood glows! Animation could have been better really. I hope they show the quality the first PV promised later on, otherwise it'd be a shame. Decent start I suppose. Itou Kanako delivered, which is the best part of the episode. Next week comes the only character I care about in this show =D. |
 |

|
| If you go on gg's website it's up for DDL btw Just in case torrent download is slow |
| After watching it subbed, I was quite disappointed... I just wasn't feeling anything from it, but can't pinpoint why. Apart from a couple of diagonal angles I didn't mind the animation, and as I said above, the first ED was brilliant and the op was good. Hopefully it gets better, but for now I'm starting it at 4/10... |
| While the animation was lame. I fangirled at almost every scene <3... UNCENSORED version where ! *rage* |
| I think it proceeded to the story quite fast... I had to read a little around to understand what's going on. I like the atmosphere and the characters, but the animation was a little poor. The blood should have been darker, for example. Other than that, so the whole anime is just a fighting-tournament where you gotta kill your opponent? I hope it has some good plot twists. |
 |
| It wasn't even the blood that bothered me with the animation, instead it was the way the characters looked. It seemed unstable, like the animation didn't flow as well as it could have. Shiki looked great, when he entered I felt they drew him well, but the others... not so much. I haven't read the manga or anything so I don't know what to expect. I like shounen-ai so I will give it a chance, but I hope this will be better than Uraboku which I wasn't able to finish :P |
 |
Yuki_Giou said: Other than that, so the whole anime is just a fighting-tournament where you gotta kill your opponent? No. We will see more character development and Akira will slowly find the secret of the group commanding Igura/Toshima. The ending depends on which route they will choose from the game, which is probably Shiki's true ending, since it reveals the full story (except for some secrets about Nano I think) and apart from the rape scene it isn't gay (and since they want to remove the yaoi from it...) |
|
| Gonna give it 3 episodes try, if it keeps beeing boring like this i drop it |
| Disjointed pacing. I felt like I was watching a Powerpoint presentation of whatever backstory we need before the main plot kicks in. The blood didn't bother me that much. The entire color palette is rather limited, and the pure red makes a nice contrast with black / dark gray scenery. I agree about animation quality... I expected more judging from the trailer. Either way, it's not bad, I'm waiting for next episode >.> |

OP and ED were amazing, *goes back to watch it again* Chalis said: Shiki. SHIKI. <3 Fffffuuu-- I can't help fangirling over this. I've waited so long, my days of being a fujoshi are all coming back to me. agreeeeeeee! Ok, the animation isnt so good as the game or doesnt reach the level of the manga, but after reading sooooooo many yaoi mangas of Togainu, all i wanted was to see SHIKI. He´s hot no matter what, and im still jumping of joy just to see him. And the OP where he is close to Akira, omg, perfect! cant wait to see the storyu development and also, more of SHIKI, ofc~;D *nosebleed* |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| It feels like this show was created to show bishies to fangirls and not to be an interesting show. And since am nether female or gay, i will probably drop this. |
| I have just finished the first episode and i can't wait for the next . I like the bishies, Shiki is probably going to be one of my fav. charachters. I don't care if people call me fangirl, but I still like this series. |
| huhu Rin is not in this episode D: But I see Rin in the preview :3 It was okay, the animation and art was pretty awful. I mean, can't they draw properly? I just hope they fix the animation in next episode. Oh yeah the censorship. Why did they censor the bloody stuff??! Just hope next episode will be good. |

| awww !!! such an awesome anime!!!! i fell in love with it |
| Signature deleted for exceeding the maximum size restrictions. |
| its seems kinda interesting, but isnt really for me, I think ill watch next epiosde also.. blood was like tomato juice lol.. and I think one part was censored, where few were killed by katana xD |
 |
| That was just made of epic epicness. ♥♥♥ I couldn't help but cry fangirl-tears of joy during the whole show. :') I waited ages for this. <3 Well.. I don't really care for animations THAT much, so it's ok with me.. But I'm kinda surprised that people compare the anime with an powerpoint. ?! It really didn't seemed that bad to me.. ó.O Also the redish blood.. It seemed like an nice contrast to the grey background to me. I don't think it was a mistake or something.. It was wheather on purpose, to stand out between other gory animes. Otherwise.. I loved the background music. ♥ It was always so fitting. Really great ! I'm sooo waiting for next week.. This seems like my new all-time-favorite besides Death note. ♥ |

alwaysbored said: While the animation was lame. I fangirled at almost every scene <3... UNCENSORED version where ! *rage* Why draw such beautiful boys, only to make them move like robots.... *sigh* Anyway... since I've only read the ZERO version, this episode seemed to be half backstory, which was kind of nice. I wonder if the show made sense to people who haven't read any of the manga? It might seem kind of random.... |
 |
| possibly one of the best series this season has to offer. now...some screens |
 |
| wat trash |
 |
| HNNNNNNNGH THE SOUNDTRACK. ♥ Surprisingly enough, I'm really enjoying this. :'D The only thing I dislike is the color of the blood, it's way too bright. But oh well, it's not like that's gonna end up affecting my enjoyment or anything~ |
| Well... Like other people I have been waiting for this for a long, long time. I was really excited because I thought this could be really good. Maybe my hopes were too high? As other people have said, the animation was total crap. I am exceptionally disappointed because I expect better from A-1 and especially aniplex (does anyone know if it's a joint project or if it's just A-1 that did the animating?), and I just don't have any hopes for it getting better since the first episode is supposed to be where you put out your best stuff, right? All I saw was sloppy cell-colouring, inconsistancy in shape and angle all over the place, and a frame-rate so low I could literally see where they'd left out parts of the movement -_-;;; Did A-1 put too much money into Kuroshitsuji? What is this? I expect this stuff from Studio Deen but A-1/Aniplex??? This is a game/anime about fighting, so you'd THINK the fighting would be intense but not so. The blood colouring I can see as an effect and appreciate, but when it rained at the end and the blood just... sat there in a lump completely not reacting with the rain... why even show it raining on the blood if you're not going to animate it, seriously. Otherwise I'm pleased that they seem to be keeping in all the BL so far..? It's pretty much exactly the game script (minus the ridiculous and impossible to read descriptions) which is good. If only the animation was better. The animation in the OPENING was good, IMO. However what's WITH the music in this show? The game had a great soundtrack, why not reuse it? Is there some issue with the rights? I want to hear some BGM from the game, and some of that hard guitar stuff. Sorry I'm not a fan of that visual-kei-style music >_>;; Is it only me or are the theme songs way too bland for this series? |
| The main character and his friend blushing looked totally gayy. XD But didn't seemed like they had sex or anything. Compared to 99% echi fan service Highschool of the dead, this yaoi fanservice was too weak and c'mon only one scene ? That sasugay guy was awesome with his blade and sharigan eyes. lol and his coat. I think there is something special about the main char's red eyes on the buttom. Also that girl who took him out looked like she had that red line on her eyes. Granrodeo OP was awesome. and it made me think of the last epic OP from blassreiter which was also Granrodeo's. =D Then I thought that Sasugay looks like the main char from Blassreiter. I think it's the same artists.I can't wait to see that blonde shota char in the op. hope that sasugay makes out with him. |

 |
| Shiki = <33 He is more than amazing. And his eyes are really beautiful. I paused the video a couple of time just to stare at him. It's only the first episode and I already love him, which is bad. Everytime when I start to like someone that much, he gets killed. I hope that he doesn't end up like that... Anyway, I need the next episode now. |
| Is this some kind of yaoi? The whole episode had that shounen ai feeling... (NO, it's NOT only because of when he says that they need to do sth they cant do there. i actually lol'd then) |
Raph95 said: Is this some kind of yaoi? The whole episode had that shounen ai feeling... (NO, it's NOT only because of when he says that they need to do sth they cant do there. i actually lol'd then) well the series is shounen ai (bl), and is based on a Yaoi game; so yes, you're not the only one getting that vibe...but I watch it for the action....same as with uraboku |
