The episode itself is not that bad, but I wonder how it will affect the future events. |

To manga readers: Post in this thread only when you've watched the episode so you don't spoil those anime-only viewers.
Watched first episode. The set up was pretty good, with a decent character interaction. I thought pacing was a bit fast to allow any chance to develop any sympathy toward any character. With Production I. G, we can also expect some good animation here and there. Will watch 2nd episode.

Hmm, I think I was one of those a little surprised when Kouga popped up along with Konoha in Jin's childhood. That said, it's not as big a change as many people are it to be, and was likely done for compression/simplification due to the show's episode run.

I quite liked the episode - not really my type of anime, but I figured I'd give it a roll. Certainly felt grittier and more down to earth (which may be down to the more 'realistic' art style) than most anime I've seen. As quickly as the plot went by, I still felt rather sorry for Jin - a strong yet sheltered child who knows very little of real life beyond beating the living daylights out of criminals in the name of 'justice' (the truly just need no thanks - Jin amounted to little more than a mercenary here).
What I will be doing, however, is skipping over this: What. A pile. Of ****. It's quite possibly the worst OP song I've ever heard - fits about as well with the anime as a square in a round hole and sounds like a two people gibbering to each other with quirky techno going on in the background. I certainly won't be looking for the full version when it comes out, and I'm actually worried about what the ED music will sound like next week. |

After watching that Jin kid fight I was WOW!
It was sad watching him cart his dead grandpa around town without realizing what really happened to him. He truly is a naive kid... Kouga got scolded at the same time, what bad luck losing a "parent" & a friend at the same time. Akemi really was kind hearted... but trouble just keeps following Jin. I'm totally watching this one!
