The first episode followed the manga roughly.... I'm not sure how it will turn out but the anime was ok. The manga blows the anime out of the water and I cant see the anime being better then the manga, but still I'll watch it for now.. =)

Though.. since the anime will most likely catch up to manga (english scanlations), I might be Droping the show ^^;

Spoiler for episode 1 +manga thoughts:

The first episode was alright. Animation-wise not the best but there were a few neat movments. Some of the comedy was nice! like Kenichi's reaction to one of Shigure stars flying towards his head

I hope a Group picks up the show, I'm really interested in how they are going to handel the script here.

Oh! and some of the comic Strips in the back of the manga are Hilarious

might have to post some.

@ monir Ah! I see you like the small cute pic of karada, Cool! =)

First off.. Drama... well.. ^^; There isn't a heap in the manga. (Well at least in the first 5 volumes) There are moments were the manga can get more serious but overall the drama is alot more tame compared to other shounen manga. The soft music seemed out of place, when Kenichi was getting beaten up, and really felt different then the manga in that scene. The Characters are much like in the manga but still they come off a bit different. Kenichi comes off as a bit more desperate.... ^^; I've always been worried at how they would portray his 'inner thoughts' I dont remember him going Wow! with open eyes looking at Shigure (the female ninja) like that. They did a fairly good job with Miu, the cuteness that they showed with her in the last scene was really well done... But still she seems a little different.. Shigure came across as a bit to serouis.. Though mabye it was her voice, I though it would be a bit more soft.. since her character is more often then not quite. Well it was only the first episode (and the RAW >.>) so.. its hard to judge everything about the show on it, but still from the manga I've read that my take on it. The first episode was alright. Animation-wise not the best but there were a few neat movments. Some of the comedy was nice! like Kenichi's reaction to one of Shigure stars flying towards his head I hope a Group picks up the show, I'm really interested in how they are going to handel the script here.
