This was a good episode. Nothing terrible so no qualms. First episode wasn't special nor outstanding. Nothing stood out of the ordinary. It was fairly entertaining so it's a keep.
Though I think the merit still goes to the fact that the scenarios in the source material was good. The storyboard felt flat. Animation wasn't stellar nor noteworthy. Then again this is JC Staff. So complains about that is stupid. I'm just glad they're consistent with this episode. Here's hoping they keep it up. So far I'm happy with this episode. |

With Little Busters, much work has gone into replicating the look and feel of the original, which should give us some insight into their strategy for this production. Quote:
You can produce animation that's expensive but disappointing. While 10,000 frames were drawn for the first episode of Angel Beats, there were complaints over the artistic quality (a potential issue if the schedule is tight and strict drawing quotas are prioritized over quality. That's the policy of P.A. Works, partly for discipline reasons) of the animation. |

As the first episode goes, I'm quite satisfied. The pacing is nice and all those gags and jokes from VN are faithfully transplanted into the show. Hope they don't rush into introducing new characters too fast. Oh, and I hope more funny battle scenes gets animated.
Don't know why people are discussing about the animation. To me it's far from average. They move better then some action type anime out there.

LB anime wasn't exactly hyped, I think. The "hype" was how it's going to be doubly horrible because 1)it's not KyoAni and 2)it's JCStaff. If you can ignore those two and see the show as what it is, then there's the fact that this is adapted from KEY's work, which I can tell from experience can be a huge range of hit and miss among the viewers.
Anyways, for the episode. Looking good so far. Really takes me back to when I first played this. Animation has much to be desired if you're nitpicky enough, but it's not horribly terrible or terribly horrible, just alright. I just hope this means more stable quality throughout. The OP was okay, but I still preferred the older versions I guess, though Alicemagic was alright. I will refrain from commenting about the story for now and just let everyone judge it by themselves. anyways, one last thing Spoiler for Saturday Night Fever!:

(It doesn't help that sometimes when people talk about "bad animation" they're actually not talking about animation at all, but rather the art, character designs, colouring, backgrounds, storyboarding, and other things that all get lumped together, and this all makes it a bit hard to know exactly what is meant.)

With this series getting its own sub forum, I was expecting to be blown away by LB!... a slice of life school drama... but I left the first episode feeling underwhelmed.
What, exactly, am I missing? What is so special about this series that I am not getting (yet?)? |

What the? The MC looks very feminine and not a dominant guy in his group (which is rather rare considering he's the protagonist of this harem show). And Kudryavka didn't appear, even though i've been anticipating her to appear at the first episode.

I just watched the episode again the second time and I gotta say I am still disappointed with the visuals (and I am not comparing just with Kyo Ani).
I got this from another anime web: Spoiler:
The frames per second and image quality of the anime are already bad enough compared to the other animes that are airing. They should at least fix things like this. My only hope now is the quality of animation does not effect the story depiction. Not yet disappointed with the development of this episode. Although it felt a bit fast compared to the other Key animations which is understandable since it is going to be 26 episodes. Since they haven't announced second season, I assume 26 episodes for 5 routes + main route at this pace is about right I guess. EDIT: who am I kidding, take a look at the other 24 episode animes JC is making, their visual look on par or better than LB... Yea their probably just treating it like "another" anime.

I was expecting the animation to be bad, but not this bad. The flashback scenes were poorly done. As for the episode itself, not bad. This is the first time where I was not instantly hooked on a Key's show. I'm afraid that I will have to give a three episode run for this one. I was far more impressed with Kyoani's new show than this.

I was surprised that the main group consisted of 4 boys and only one girl. It looks a million girls are going to be introduced later on though, so this is Key alright...
The first episode was rather underwhelming. Not very interesting nor very funny. Spoiler for Comparison to Angel Beats and other Key works:
