| Could have been a decent episode if I wasn't so distracted by gg's horrible subs. |
| I can tell this is going to be...EPIC :) |

| Not that I disliked the OP, but I wished they didn't make it so ridiculously similar to Baccano's. Even if it's the same staff and studio, I was hoping they actually tried to do something new. So I heard Mikado is a racist. Maybe not, but I wonder why he was apparently worried about describing Simon properly, specially on the fact that he's black. Also, some manga fans, we could be getting some more references to other series later on, aside from those random Baccano scenes in the background. |
| "A person who's supposed to be attracting customers was dressed as a chef, and for some reason, he was black..." Rofl. |
| Well, it may be a little early... but I have to say that so far it's my favourite out of the ones I started this season. Good episode, I loved it when Kida changed his mind about whom to help get up xD "Daijobu da...yo 8D" It's like he wanted to say "How you doin'?" The ED I don't really like, but the OP is niiice. Definitely gonna keep watching. |

| I've got three words for this. Friggin' epic win. This is going to be awesome. I can feel this. Oh right, I love the OP, but the ED is nice too. |
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls. |
| the opening and ending songs are hilarious :P |

| great show so far can't stop loving the OP |
| haha.. it seems this is awesome as expected.. and the good thing is, i don't have any idea how the plot will turn out to be.. loved the OP, too, and they even adopted Baccano's style of pausing the screen, focusing on the character and stating the name.. my only probable complaint is that this show could be a bit fangirl inducing, due to all the famous male seiyuus around and that ED.. but meh.. i'm still intrigued with that female biker.. she's awesometastically cool and hawt.. |
| the first half was boring as hell. the second was nice |
| Hmmm...strangely enough, the directing reminds me more of Matsuo Kou and what he did in Yozakura Quartet. And the episode as a whole was somewhat more Yozakura-like than Baccano-like (not only because of the character designs). Well, Oomori is an awesome director too, so I guess he's picking more good tricks and techniques from others. Overall, good stuff. :) |
| I have a question. In the op, when the names of characters are presented, the girl next to the biker girl don't have a name around her... Could be this a real face of biker girl? :D This show has too many characters, I hope that half of them will die until 12th episode. xD |

| Ok so here are my ideas : 1. So many characters in the OP! I don't remember any names! 2. The main is a bit boring but his friend makes up for it. 3 .The people in the background are ignored? It makes it easier to spot the characters that matter, but I liked the Baccano animation style better. 4. Why was Ichimaru Gin there?! 5. Why was Horo there? 6. I like how stories seem not to intertwine while I know they eventually will. 4. Why was Ichimaru Gin there??!!!!! |
Jaapsneep said: 5. Why was Horo there? She's the sister of the biker girl. Bear with that. Jaapsneep said: 4. Why was Ichimaru Gin there??!!!!! That was the brother of Horo and the biker girl who just happen to look like Ichimaru Gin. |
| It started pretty well, I think. The OP and the ED is catchy also the characters are seems to be pretty detailed. I hope a good start like this will give us some awsomeness in the end. |
 |
| This was the only anime I was looking forward to this season and it didn't disappoint. I can already tell I will love this show. |
| just like Baccano! lots of interesting characters XD it's already my Must watch show for this season. i've got very high expectations for this anime :D |
OftheFlesh said: Really? I thought it was obvious, you know, with the feminine body shape and all. Yeah, it's definitely not meant to be kept a secret as well, since it's already stated in the wiki etc. I guess I just didn't really pay attention to well, uh, her body? Then again, what man would wear a neko helmet? |
| Has potential with a great voice cast, and could be interesting. Also, lol@Horo ad. |
 | Nothing is at it seems. | |
| Looks like it will be really good series. Although when the other guy was cut with scythe I expected bloodbath. Yeah I know this is not Hellsing. Dullahan probably only take the soul ... Catchy OP and ED. Especially ED. I can't wait for another ep ... I hope that it will be equally good or better. |
 |
| Although the story hasn't come to the climax yet, I already love this show and can't wait for the next episode =) and the music is awesome ^^ |
 |
| Good start, and there's plenty of time to develop things since there's going to be 24 episodes ^^. |
| All the mods fucking blow on this website except Kaiserpingvin, Cloudy-Sky, Baman and aero. PM me if you're actually good and I left you out. Oh, rule 8... (￣ー￣) |
| The OP was good and though it was only intro,it wasn't boring at all...btw the girl who got kidnaped kinda looks like Yin from DTP in the face.I wonder if she'll be present further in the show :? I'm gonna give it 8 for now and i hope i won't have to lower the score. |

desolato said: This was certainly entertaining and a bit mysterious. (A bit disappointed if there will be some supernatural aspects in the show, if the guy turns out the be an actual shinigami) The OP and ED were surprisingly really good and catchy as hell.  Fixed. (kidding) I'm glad he doesn't sound too noticeable like him. Simon is everyone's Taxi Driver this time, fo shur. I wonder how and why Holo got so much screentime, is that even allowed, hehe. francismeunier said: Simon is great add to different races in this serie as he is black from America I think they mentioned=> Wrong. He's from Russia ;D Hun, hint; leave the raws and watch the subs, you're missing out on a lot. I don't why but I though I heard America but I won't deny I did not hear Russia but that is certainly uncommon to see blacks in Russia. Hmmm, sry dear, Subs are too slow for me sometimes but there are people like you who can point out little things like that who listen to subs so thanks. :D |

Forever said: Wow how cool are you to notice that!! :D .But dont they seem different body-wise.Or the girl with whom they bumped be the result of the biker's(shinigami) incomplete ritual (?) of removing the soul....And seemed petrified as she saw the biker in very close proximity.. 1st ep seems more like an intro for the characters . Cant judge yet . Want to see the bartender dressed guy..he seems interesting.(ofcourse only judging by his looks not :P ) |
 |
| Good start here, and do want this OP song. |
| >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. |
| reallgy good episode. liked the OP, the artwork, found the characters interesting, and it had its funny moments. now i have really high hopes for this anime. |
| Alright. So colored characters = important, whereas grey characters = the crowd. Then who is this? |

| wtf?! u see a headless woman, you dont charge in screaming "what the fuck are u", u Run...thumbs up for the Anime looks good and the cast is good. |

nextday said: Which subs are better at the moment? gg or HorribleSubs? both are crap go with gg for better video quality, but once there's another group subbing it, switch to them |
| Pretty good so far, great music great characters and great visuals. |
| Nice start to a promising series. I'm assuming that the "who is the headless biker?" mystery won't be a major plot point since it was given away so easily in the first episode. Unless the girl with the scar on her neck was meant to throw us off track. I'm also thinking that Kida's probably more than he seems. I wonder what he was up to in the city all this time. It'll be interesting to see where this goes. The only thing I didn't like about this episode was the ED :/ |
 |
| Nice start! I'm expecting a lots of twists. |
| wow a headless biker whose some type of grim reaper type figure, and saves people, nice! so how does the main protagonist fit into this? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Great first new episodes. My favourite seyiuus are yet to come though. Great Op, catchy ED but it was too americanised like someone said before. And the headless person is a woman, I don't understand why they're referred to as a 'he'. And what's with gg and their naming styles? They're switching the last and first names. =/ Well it's annoying, whatever they're doing. Now, how to wait till next week... |
 |
| i really loved the 1st episode :D looking forward to next one :)) |
| Alright time to start typing up all these thoughts I have. Well first I love the music especially in the OP. And I found the ending pretty creative with all the characters stacked into a column (well I haven't seen anything like that yet so I apologize if this was already done xP) All the characters suprisingly have not touched me the wrong way. In fact, I love them all so far :D I just love Kida (lol his lame jokes) And Simon the Russian black. Wow I definitely have not heard of that one (sorry if I sound offensive ^^;) Headless Rider is definitely awesome for pleasing my violent needs >:3 (woot! Bashed his head in!!!) So far, no absolute complaints on this department. And the voice acting is great ^^ Plot is already interesting with all this talk about the Color Guard and the Headless Rider. I'm sure that the guys that Kida warns to avoid will show up. Can't wait to see their appearance. Another thing that pleases me is that the main characters are not immeadiately thrusted in out of random with the mysterious/supernatural group. I see it so many times but the fact that they are not involved yet is refreshing. Some random tidbits I loved were the Horo appearance (just awesome xD) and the chat room. Is it me or did the orange guy use a female avatar? xD Overall, found nothing to hate and everyting to love. I'm already hooked so I will definitely follow this anime! ^^ |

| Funny though, ANN says there are going to be 12 episodes while MAL says it's 24. |
