I just watched the 5, 7 min ep ONA from 2012 and I feel like the first ONA ep and this new one tell a really different story than those episodes. Anyone else feel that way?

I didn't feel that way. They just focus on different characters and different times.

I have no idea what I just watched, but I like it. The setting, animation, and music are pretty amazing. The characters also have really fun and interesting personalities.

Hmmm that was a little hard to follow. I don't know exactly what happened and where they are. Hopefully that's normal and we're supposed to figure out later. I liked everything about the art, the main character is interesting, the story is too.

Had the same feeling, Amarrez made a good analysis of the recap. I tried watching the original ONA and the sequel but it only opened more questions for me o-o

I don't think I understood much, but I will watch the TV series episodes and see if it's gonna start making sense. I love the voice acting of Rei in this one, it's feels different than her almost identical tsundere roles.

Was that just the ONA material? It's been some months since I watched them, but it didn't actually seem like there was any new animation, and instead like things were just put together a bit better...

Can I skip this if I watch the original ONA? I plan to watch the original ONA, then the 5 episode ONA then the TV series. So I presume the recaps could be skipped?

Well, this recap is the original ONA with a different OST, in better quality and it has an OP. So, it's really up to you whether you watch the original ONA or this one, but you should definitely watch the 5 ONA's after.

Ok... so this was exactly the same as the original ONA from 2011 (except with op/ed and next ep preview)... so what is the 2012 ONA? something different?

Anyways... I've been waiting two years for this series and it's finally here! That chaos! That hyper-action! Bring it on!

didn't understand it at all... felt like watching Lain.

Is this exactly the same ep as the original ONA Kyousou Giga? It says it's the 5 eps of ONAs (2012) bundled them altogether but I can't seem to find the very first Kyousou Giga that aired in 2011...

OK guys, help! I never saw the ONAs. If I watch them now, am I going to spoil myself for the rest of the show? Should I watch them all right now? I don't mind if future episodes of the series will recap the ONA, I just don't want to screw this up.

Yeah, I didn't really understand anything, but I haven't seen the original ONAs.

The most dizzying 25 minutes of anime I have ever seen. It was also incredibly perplexing, probably due to the fact that I didn't watch the actual ONA. I feel like I should... Anyways, this should be good.

Not sure if exactly the same or just a renewed version of the original ONA but well that ona and this episode sure is a good start for the whole series so let's see what the actual series has to offer!

I wouldn't call this episode 0. People like me are going to assume it's the prequel/ beginning of the anime or something.

Amazing visual aesthetic, great animation, great soundtracks. Needless to say, I absolutely enjoyed the episode. I love the 2 kids already, reminds me a lot of Trunks-Goten combo. Story was confusing, hopefully the TV series clears up the confusion.

This is why I hate Toei, they can do great stuff when they actually tried. I was so sure that nothing they make could top Kuuchuu Buranko / Mononoke visually, but this is easily on par imo.

There is so much movement on the screen! Koto and her little bros are just bouncing with energy. The colorful youkai, weird video-game-like realm and the Kyoto environment are a feast for the eyes.

And there's this weird family business where only Myoue is a human. You could say these people are an... Eccentric Family.

There are very few things that I feel I have a grasp on, and what the scientists are doing is totally beyond my comprehension. The OP is awesome, it has this sentimental feel to it that contrasts with the upbeat visuals.

This was fun for visual spectacle but it really makes me glad I started the series with episode 1 and finished the show before watching this (or the ONA's I guess). I get that they did this because they probably needed to occupy the time slot for an entire cour and they didn't want to pad out the story further to do that (hence why the series had like two recaps episodes too) but I don't think I would've ended up enjoying the series as much if I watched this one first.

Watched this without seeing the original ONA, though briefly skimming through it tells mere there're a few minor differences (the ending, Myoue starting his scooter, etc). Good stuff, provides an interesting alternative "route" after finishing the TV show.

After all average show but it brings colorful animation, it's interesting.
