It really does improve in the second ep. First part is some nice action witha fw shounen tropes and second part they introduce the main villain and the main dynamic of the anime. They make the central theme of working together literal. Overll it's just straight solid direction with some awesome shots. I wasn't reminded of Trigger for nothing.

Also OP and ED are really nice. For me it's the most complete package of any anime so far.

Alright, thanks I'll check some of them out.

Whoa that's cool; I had no idea you could edit the thread to give the OP to another person! Do you get the points for it now Versus? Also congrats!
But yea, this OP shift thing..... I'm coming for you Gooch

The fan service was only a single shot for a few seconds, so I can't say it is detracting from the serious nature of the anime yet. That aside, I find their weakness somewhat refreshing. All too often in shows like this it's just "oh, I had to kill something...how mildly inconvenient". Or you simply have one overpowered person who asserts their dominance over the rest and overrides any potential good themes in the show by making it a classic case of OP character.

That said, remember your spoiler tags. If I had really read your post before watching the episode a bit ago, I would have been spoiled of basically everything that happened in the episode. Granted, the impact of the actual killing still would have been there, but not as significant when it's still a surprise moment over knowing who is going to make the kill and thus when. That aside, I do have high hopes still. This is looking like an anime very capable of providing a dramatic, all too realistic look on what it would truly be like to exist in the type of world we see in games.

TBH I'd be a poor person for that job. BraLod would be far better suited to it

I've been having small bursts of anime recently but now that I've found the 1.5x and 2.0x speed feature, I've been watching animes at 1.5x minimum now :p

Exception goes to interesting segments or it's the last episode where I'll watch at normal speed

So versus took over?

Can't vote up Charlotte anymore... DX

Just kidding...thanks for taking over Versus!

Finally finished up what I wanted to with my Fall shows, and so I can finally jump into this season. I've only started Phantom World and Erased so far...but I'm enjoying both. Though I worry my interest in the first is mostly just Mai-senpai...hehe.

Still at least three more anime on my radar that I want to start...but we'll see how that goes.

I watched the first couple of episodes of Luck & Logic. It isn't bad so far, but I'm kind of wondering what the central plot of the season is going to be.

Boob Limbo is best limbo..
