| WOOW now that was a change of animation! incredible, new with the style but thougt it was very impressive! love that Nakamura Yuuichi the MC, like the comedy and the Brutality, the blod, not the biggest info with Japanese history but yeah, probably need to know a thing or two xD Awkward yea)) cant wait fot the army guy xD Look promising to me, and curious about more! and awesome ED |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Brilliant animation. Fighting was Bullshido technique again, but at least they got the basic cuts more or less right. Why,.. why, doesn't anyone ever make a proper non-fantasy Sengoku period anime with this quality of animation? Garto said: genk1sudo said: Can you recommend me some 'good fight choreography' anime? From what I've seen lately, Terraformars (1) had pretty decent one. Sword of the Stranger has some of the best sword fight choreography I've seen. Samurai Champloo is a close second. Sword of the Stranger's "best sword fight choreography" is in fact an extended sakuga by Yutaka Nakamura, which actually makes it all the more impressive. Samurai Champloo didn't impress me that much overall, though the fight with the blind jumonji yari wielding onna bugeisha did. Kuromukuro has some good sword fights, or rather incorporates some realistic sword fighting stances in its fights, which is odd, since it's mostly about mecha. |

| I actually enjoyed the first episode quite a bit. Not sure why people are complaining about the humour either, but I guess to each their own. I found the comic relief bits pretty funny, personally. |
| this looks awesome. What's with this studio producing this ? Is this madhouse that created a new studio just for this show? cause madhouse was supposed to adapt this if I remember correctly (they announced it when hellsing ultimate ended). |

| I feel so disappointed, the first episode felt like a mess overall. That comedy was just so off-putting. |
| I'm enjoying the dark, edgy, violent feel of this anime. Let's hope it sticks to this form instead of flip floppingto and from comedy. |
| I'm interested in it so far. Also I think this had more blood in it than the new Berserk anime. |
| Same as 1st part of the OVA I will probably have to wait for episode 3 to see new material |
| Seems like a fun gory anime, just as expected. However for now it seems inferior to Hellsing ultimate, kinda hard to beat vampire vs nazis with samurai vs nazis. |

| I'm going to give this anime a chance and not criticize it since it's only one episode out. what grabbed my attention was the art itself. it was on point , looks amazing. especially during the killing. I knew that it reminded me of another anime. had to talk it out with my bf. hellsing is one of his favorite animes. answer the story itself seems interesting. the plot kicked in when he walked into the other world not knowing what's happening. that's when I realized it's not going to be the same story of a deranged samurai defending him and his people. the comedy that they portrayed was a little questioning but all in all , it keeper me interested and can't wait for the next epi |
| The animation is unique but good. Soundtrack is also on point and I liked the fighting scenes in the beginning. But the comedy feels very out of place, which bothers me a bit. A good pilot episode, I guess. 4/5 |
| Great first episode...action...bloody....history... a misterious plot... and characters atractives....i want moreeeee!!! 8/10. |
| My opinion of the manga isn’t the greatest, and this episode didn’t change that. Still, it’s always good to see fights animated... The mindless action should be good enough to waste/pass time though... Also, it’s only *12 episodes long, so shouldn’t be that bad (MAL really needs to update their database). The ED sequence was nice. The song was OK. Looking forward the OP. *6 Blu-rays, 2 episodes each. http://www.nbcuni.co.jp/rondorobe/anime/drifters/Blu-ray/box.html |

| Idk wtf is going on but at least it was fun look through. |
 |
| It might as well be called Edge: The Anime from what i've seen. However it was definitely fun to watch Ps: I guess multiple stab wounds are easily treated. I was hoping they would disappear after he drifted but whatever. |

| Pretty good first episode,and considering I'm already used to Hirano's odd style of writing, I don't really mind the oddly timed comedic scenes. The only problem is that to understand some of these jokes minimal knowledge of Japanese history is required. Clearly something which a lot of people who're watching this lack. Either way, I'm looking forward to some bloody mindless action, and looking at the animation I'd say it's good enough. And if the story is decent, then that's a good plus. |

| Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Lie until you aren't lying anymore! Figures  |
| Since I already watched the special a few weeks ago this was kind of a waste of time for me. It still looks like it will be a fun watch, but I'll just have to wait until partway through the 2nd episode for some new content I guess. |
| Why the fuck couldn't they animated Berserk like this? Also strange how this is rated lower than the OVA despite the art and animation refinement. |

| Maybe I was a little too hyped because of Hellsing, but to me it was... decent I guess. I don't know what to say right now, I'll give it a chance. |

| Finaly! an anime that could stimulate my testosterone..... To be honest, a little bit undertone of commedy make me able to keep up watching this show. I mean, it's already hard watching a slaughterfest... a joke makes it easier to digest. |

Darker than Black, Stranger, OPM, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, FMAB, Soul Eater, HxH and some ufotable works. The serious Gintama fights are also pretty neat but overall I guess Bones leads in that regard when I look at my list. OT: Was only the part with the Sekigahara Battle excluded from the Special Edition? Cause i skipped a bit of the episode... |

 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| Feels a lot like last season's Taboo Tatoo, not really enjoying this show so far.. The premise seems kind of interesting and animation is looking real nice though. |
 |
| I'm interested in the premise of the show, also animation looks really good and they used OST very well during this episode. I see how comedy can be a bit too much distracting and weird but I personaly enjoyed cause I know a little about Japanese history. Definitely got Hellsing Ultimate vibes, I like Hirano Kouta-sensei's artstyle... I'm looking forward to this! :D |
  |
| The word "Comedy" appears over 50 times in this thread. Tis a shame, the PV had me hyped but I can't stomach another Hellsing. |
 |
| Cool! So far so good. Good action, pretty funny, I like the art style....looking good. |

Mysteriala said: Style over substance... Given that lots of the shows nowadays don't have style nor substance, I think this is pretty watchable. Hell, there are still many people around who think Elfen Lied is a masterpiece. |
| Definite Hellsing vibes coming from this, not the best show but I'll keep watching. |
 |
| Its gotten my attention with all the unknown. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| It was very similar to the OAV. Great beginning with the introduction of the universe, I like how Shimazu fights. Drifters looks very interesting |
GangsterCat said: gijsdj98 said: they speak... elvisWhat the hell kind of language did those elves speak? That didn't sound like Japanese  This post is super amusing for some reason. As for the episode, Hellsing Ultimate has blown me away with its animation back in the day, and this does not fail to deliver. The concept of the anime gives me some strange Matrix vibes mixed with Lotor and Japanese History... which is really, really awesome! |
