(CR) ēlDLIVE Anticipation

[Stark700]

ēlDLIVE is getting a TV anime adaptation from Shounen Jump for 2017. Studio will be Pierrot. (Reborn's author)

Plot Summary:

Chuuta Kokonose is an orphan who lives with his aunt. For as long as he can remember he's had a voice in his head, but other than that he's a normal boy - right until the day when a strangely-looking thing follows him home and teleports him to a place filled with more fantastic creatures. It's a space police station, and Rein Brickke, the Chief of Solar System Department, tells him that he's been chosen by the computer as a possible candidate to join the police force, although Misuzu Sonokata, a girl from Chuuta's school with an angelic face and ill temper who turns out to be one of Rein Brickke's subordinates, doesn't think him suitable for such a job. Chuuta, who was shocked at first, decides to take aptitude test after being urged by the voice in his head and to prove Misuzu wrong.

Gotta give it a shot and it's nice to see Akira Amano getting more anime work as usual. And why is Pierrot getting more prominent lately?

Viz's version of the synopsis/plot summary:

"Mumbling" Chuta Kokonose doesn't have many friends. In fact, the only conversations he has anymore are with voices inside his head. Little does he know that this voice doesn't mean he's crazy. It just means he has an alien living inside his body!

Preview

[Chosen_Hero]

I'll be givimg this a chance only because it's from Kateikyo Hitman Reborns' author. I seriously miss that series so much, here is hoping there is a season 2 or better yet a HxH like reboot for the series.

They both share the same character designer (Akira Amano) but to me, he looks more like Tsuna from Reborn! (also by Amano) if you ask me. The short-haired main girl, on the other hand...

[The 48th Ronin]

Looks interesting.

Is Amano actually a fan of the Space Sheriff series, by chance?

[Stark700]

CR will stream it.

Well t first episode is out and it's pretty wild. Still no sure if it's good but reborn did take almost 30 episodes before getting to the real good stuff so...

Spoiler for episode one:

speaking of reborn that reference was pretty obvious. It looks like this happens in the same universe as that show with the reference to a Japanese boy becoming an Italian Mafia boss on th news

*sigh* I miss reborn. For all the failings and the adaptation it was a good show when it wasn't filling up time to avoid catching up to the manga. I still wish we could get a new season to finish up that story.

Episode 1

Been reading the manga while ago and following it an irregular pace. The OP song fits and well, the characters are a bit gimmicky. Still, I got fun from watching this especially with the Reborn designs.

Granted the animation quality felt kinda average. Misuzu is cute imo though even with that cold personality of hers.

From all the introductions and premise, I think first episode was fine. Not too impressive but not too shabby either. Of course, they introduced the sci-fi elements into the story too. Chuta's character doesn't impress me much but it's the first episode so there's time for development.

[FlareKnight]

It was an ok first episode. Not great, but...ok. Not sure how to really describe this one. Has some interesting qualities that could work and if nothing else might be a nice show to relax and watch.

Chuta's character has some issues, but...it's kind of understandable. Hard to have great social skills when you are constantly distracted by a voice in your head and trying not to appear crazy. Not to mention having friends that died/seriously injured(?) would leave a mark. Not a greatly interesting character, but some room to improve. At least he stepped up here and might be able to work through his trauma.

Can the show just toss Misuzu out an airlock? Why is this person such an intense jerk? Outside of appearances there are no redeeming qualities there. Heck even after they find out why he could hear a voice and find out the incredible potential....she's still being a jerk. What a remarkably unlikable person....who is apparently the love interest. Yay?
