| i still have no idea what this is about ? Is this gonna be a survival game(war) where only 1-2 survives at the end. |

| I had perhaps too many expectations for this TV series, partly I'm disappointed, I have seen other series with a better start, here the narrative is not convinced me at all. In terms of designs I can not even say that I met, animations average. I guess I'll wait for the other episodes make me an idea more thoroughly reviewing again even this episode. |

Also if anyone remembers Lodoss war, they will know how the worldbuilding is handled(since same people built Chaos Dragon setting) - the story would focus on a limited cast members, with everyone else being expendable and with viewer being dropped into into the middle of things as stuff gets somewhat explained via the character interactions. If the adaptation does a good job, the viewers should get a decent grasp at the setting as the story goes on. It is hectic and strange for newcomers but for anyone who remembers that franchise this is already quite a nostalgia trip. That said YES it IS a typical high-fantasy setting(as to be expected since that was what lodoss was too), but what should sell it as it goes on is the character decisions and paths various characters take. |

| kinda made me think of RWBY. Dunno yet what to say about series, will keep watching |
 |
| Started watching because I saw the rating on the novel, but.. This first episode at least turned out to be really shitty. I guess it was ok, being kind that is |

CNagy said: Wow... I've got low standards and that was still really bad. I loved this particular gem: MC>"If I make the pact, then I can save Mashiro?" Dragon>"Sure, if that's what you want." MC>"I want to change this world!" Dragon>"Your wish has been heard." Mashiro>"Am I going to die?" MC>"That's definitely not going to--" Dragon>"Kill her." MC>"What?" Dragon>"Sacrifice Mashiro. Stab her in the back. Until she is dead." Mashiro>"This is what the legend told us would happen." So basically, pacifist kid decides to go out wearing a weapon when he should know that it is illegal, then makes a pact with the dragon when he should already know (via the legends) that doing so means sacrificing those closest to him. And he does it in order to try and save the girl that he should know he'd have to end up sacrificing. This comes as zero shock to the girl, herself, because apparently unlike our idiot MC she actually paid attention in class. ^My thoughts exactly. At least they stayed faithful to the title. It's literally Chaos. Lel |

Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| This was pretty bad , just based off the 1st episode alone I can tell that I wont be able to complete this show |
| Well that was cheesy and hideous to look at, not to mention you know you can't do worldbuilding for shit if you rely on bad dialogue and eyecatches to do all the work. No thanks. Narita Nasu and Butchi can keep their tabletop adventures to themselves. |
 |
| 1/5 Dreadful show, with some of the worst dialogue and story I've come across. Ibuki has been completely idiot and is clueless so far. This is going to be just like Shinji from Eva where the main character doesn't know what's going on. Sacrifices are being done left and right for his sake, and he selfishly ignores it. He's a complete ego maniac, and there is no ay the show can redeem what he's done here. Mashiro's fate was unfortunate, but on the plus side she won't be in this show any longer - maker he an instant contender for my favorite character. The only person so far with the brains to know when to jump a sinking ship. Animation is even worse than I expected. If you've seen more than 5 anime in the last 10 years, then this show won't surprise you in any way. Already one episode in, and they already seem to be out of money and cutting corners. As I said before, the dialogue is appalling. Who honestly wrote these lines and thought they flowed in any way? Garbage writing, I couldn't believe what I was reading half the time. The subs are okay, at least. They did what they could. Overall, I have no idea why this is called "Chaos Dragon". They must be trying to draw in DragonBall Z fans who mistake this for the new series - they seem to think we're all as stupid as Ibuki. This show tries to pretend it's as profound as Berserk, but besides the terrible animation they have nothing in common. |

| I really shocked that is rated only 6.87 The 1st episode felt like one of the top anime in this season. Thats fight and powerup at the end was good. Also, the females look so cute |
| That was interesting enough, especially the music. if it keeps up like this, then it will probably become one of my favourite OST like that of Kara No Kyoukai and Fate/Zero. I like the overall art style, and was even more interested when seeing the artists behind it.. but to be honest, I don't like the eyes, which annoys me, as everything else is great. |
| Well that was really awful. Did the budget run on half a milk carton this episode? Also that exposition in the middle was hilarious. So bad. |
| Wow, this was really bad. They forced tons of half-finished concepts upon the viewer with horrible pacing and added bad character design, production values and lack of talent in general on top of it. As tommy said before me, the exposition in the middle was by far the most hilarious thing. "Hey, let us dump 2 pages of bad exposition in the eyecatch!" Fight scenes looked extremely bad, the scarifice of the shrine maiden loli could not really work as she should be out of range for the scimitar, etc. Overall, this is already a convoluted, badly paced mess with tons of holes. ..as expected of Nasu and the Butcher, these talentless hacks. thepath said: I really shocked that is rated only 6.87 Sometimes, MAL actually knows when something is bad. See Glasslip or Pupa. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| "Kill animation to save exposition" Chaos Dragon, now with edge and predictable deaths to satisfy your otaku wet dreams. Watch the episode now for: Exposition, lots of it. Hope you can read 200 words in five seconds, because you'll need it. Dragons! IN CG AND ALL DIFFERENT COLOURS! Predictable deaths. TO POWER THE EDGE. Saving the world as a new and unique motivation. A lack of animation. It was replaced by an essay in the middle. SHOUTING AND SCREAMING, BECAUSE THE WORLD IS UNFAIR AND ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE IT!! EPIC MUSIC New and improved designs that were found in the Nasu recycle bin! Exposition/10 |

Playing the Tabletop/Book game the anime is based on (I hope a English Kickstarter will come soon), this was the first time i ever played one and it was epic... Has a scenario where Mashiro was revived as a enemy... You just made my day, top comedy post. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| pretty stupid episode, a lot of cliches. 6/10 |
| Oh another fantasy anime huh? This Summer (2015) Really got a lot of it huh? And it's about Dragons huh?. What?! War had already started in the very first episode?!! Can't they just make it for Episode 2?!!! And the worst thing I saw a pretty girl again as a fucking sacrifice for the protagonist to take action?! Mashiro's intro was sexy and she just died? Fucking damn it!! I guess since the Prologue says it that Ibuki needs to kill for what ever fuck he needs to protect. Well I guess I should prepare expect more likable characters to die! The Animation and OST was good. And I want to hear and watch it's proper OP and ED in the next episode next week. |

omfgplzstop said: There isn't really a point in blaming Nasu/Butcher/Narita for this. They literally each made a character, listened to the scenarios they were presented with and declared what their characters would do in each of them. As I said already, this anime would've been miles better had they actually discussed the story with the writers/players themselves while producing it. Besides, Nasu's and Narita's characters are the best two (even though they changed Swallow's design for some reason. I at least hope they didn't touch his curse, but I'm worried since he doesn't have the 5 swords on his back nor the black forearms). |

| This was pretty damn bad, I thought I had downloaded a corrupted file first, but apparently the choppy animation in the intro was actually there, great way to start the show >.> ryuixyui said: The fact that this anime is already getting low scores shows how stupid and blind anime fans are.

Hazuk4shii said: Generic action superpower shit with a kid protagonist. Edgy on top of that. Ain't nobody got time for that. ^ guess some people really like Edgy shows,first show i kinda expected to be bad from CGI dragons in the PV. and that ending lol.. looks like you shouldn't stay attached to any of the characters since they already crossed out that one girl. |

sasha72 said: Animation is decent, I don't really like th CG but maybe it's just my preference. The characters lacks expression. Story is quite weak and i don't feel anything with the tragic death. Not a strong first ep, too bad i was quite looking forward for it. Not sure why people care that much about animation or CG, does that have much impact on enjoyment ?! I don't see any difference between this or other anime airing in this season. All look fine to me. 1st was so great, one of the best in this season in my opinion. Far better than what I expected. katsu044 said: Hazuk4shii said: Generic action superpower shit with a kid protagonist. Edgy on top of that.

Most of these anime that people call edgy are most enjoyable and entertaining types of anime. That sacrifice and powerup with decent OST is very entertaining. I watched that scene several times. I like these stuff, it reminds of the 1st episode of attack on titan and Owari no Seraph MrsKujo said: Bad designs, bad art (like a poor man's Fate), rushed story, boring characters so far. I'm only sticking with it because I have a hunch that more people will kick the bucket by the way that they crossed out Mashiro among the cast. How can some tell bad design from good design ?! The character design look fine to me, and their faces look so cute. Rushed story ?! It did not feel rushed to me. Even if it is rushed, the anime is still entertaining. Boring characters ?! They weren't boring to me, and they look so cute. cockaine said: The season of traps! All bow down. Hail before them. From what I seen there are only like 3 traps in this season. Not enough for me. |
| The blood and death was nice, but i wouldn't call this series anything special yet. But i'll stick around to see how things progress, as long as Ibuki loses that stupid hat. |
| What the heck did I just watch... seriously... Plot itself is very interesting, at least for someone who loves fantasy setting, but execution just sucks, in my opinion. I mean, the cast is insane, but seems like adaptation is just not right or something... |
| That was a surprisingly great first episode. It felt rushed but I enjoyed it. This has really nice presentation. Definitely got an Akame ga Kill vibe from this. There's a lot of despair and it's clear many will die. I think too much stuff was going on, because it's clear they wanted to end the first episode there. I like how the power isn't something he can tap into and use at any moment with no repercussions. Having that kind of power requires sacrifice, and I think that's an interesting dynamic in a genre where most MC's are overpowered. Hopefully it slows down bit and we get more time to process what's going on. |
skudoops said: This show is below average but the hate for it is almost comical. Is someone major or popular working on this? I'll check after this post but some of the comments I'm seeing are ridiculous. One guy is complaining about the main character from one episode? lol example 1 Dreadful show, with some of the worst dialogue and story I've come across. Ibuki has been completely idiot and is clueless so far. This is going to be just like Shinji from Eva where the main character doesn't know what's going on. Sacrifices are being done left and right for his sake, and he selfishly ignores it. He's a complete ego maniac, and there is no ay the show can redeem what he's done here. Also lol @ complaining about exposition, like jesus christ. Exposition from the first episode of an anime? SAY IT AINT SO. It is based on a D&D style game that some major authors decided to sit around and play, and someone had the idea to make a series out of it. Characters were created by Kinoko Nasu (Fate Series, Kara No Kyoukai), Urobuchi (Medoka Magica, Psycho Pass), Iduki Kougyoku (Mimizuku to Yoru no Ou), Ryohgo Narita (Durarara!!), and a fifth one I don't remember.... so it's got some pretty big names attached to the characters and concept at least. Idk who's actually working on the anime though. |
 |
| I don't think this is as bad, as what most people would say, but I think it's not that strong either. To me this mostly feel 'meh'. But I do like the soundtrack. |
 |
| I feel like a better first episode would have been explaining everything rather than just rush in, show us an abundance of characters, and let us breathe. Sadly though, I don't think this show will do that. It almost seems as if it's going for shock value instead of actually letting us get to know and care about characters. This episode was all over the place with some of the biggest cliches we've probably already seen from Naruto, thrown in the mix. Don't think I'll continue it, but we'll see. |
