I didn't find the first episode as incomprehensible as others found. Sure, there were a lot of characters, but the premise was explained fairly clearly. Basically, in the far future, history repeats itself. It's the first episode. It doesn't have to explain everything fully.
It's like people's brains turned into goo in the how many seasons of mindless shows over the years and then complain when a show has exposition. I actually rather like this approach since my time is now limited and can't be arsed to watch episode after episode amounting to nothing happening (read: shonen). It's not like I take this show seriously anyway, considering some of the cast are clearly supposed to be jokes. Even the main character is a bit of a joke. I also have to laugh when people can't tell the difference between art and animation. The animation and choreography are quite good in fact. The art and facial expressions are passable but certainly not terrible, though this is up to personal preference. It could do with less CG ships and mecha though. They're quite jarring. |

if they watched episode 1 and they didn't understand, they are going to start complaining they forgot that statistically it's only 1(episodes)/13(episodes)*2(seasons) = 3.8% of the total story/plot being told and could even less because story and plot are not distributed equally in each episode seriously? It doesn't have a plot and you're confused by it? === that's just my random rambling for haters that I've been saved until now now I better run for my life

Everything looked crisp to me but then I've never really had a eye for saying that looks bad or not Animation is very good tho, nice and fluid. I still can't stop laughing at the Onee-chan, she's a real hoot!

Information overload... it seems both anime that I like this season are essentially "OVER 9000 CHARACTERS" styled worlds.
I'm praying the Horizon anime does a good job of world building, because what I've learned so far makes it sound awesome. Admittedly, I would not have stuck around at first if I didn't spot the yuri angels, as initial impressions were like "impossible to adapt, hence likely to be pretentious".

You should try being more humble. Whining about whining doesn't make you all high and mighty; and to be honest I don't think anyone was actually whining to begin with, it's just your average amount of confusion which every show has.

I wasn't particularly whining, just nodding with Kaioshin Sama in agreement and amused how the guys at ANN doing their seasonal things are a bit contradictory when it comes to production values. Not just related to this show. I know, opinions and all that. Still funny. I know art encompasses everything that has aesthetic value, but I didn't think anyone would be pedantic about it. Finally, I didn't praise this show for its exposition. I just didn't have a problem with it. My main hook is the rather large and diverse cast and decently animated action sequences without talking heads ruining the flow, but we'll see when the plot unfolds I suppose.

Watched the first episode and wasn't a fan. Not that it was really confusing, it just seemed that the whole episode was nothing more than some flashy FF-style filler with some fan-service. The main character, when he finally did appear, managed to make me hate him with the only two minutes he had on screen.
Didn't help that none of the characters received any real kind of introduction or development. It was just a mess that really didn't seem to establish anything. I did enjoy the action, but felt that the episode had nothing to keep me interested.

Obviously there will be people who hate Toori. I even think his design is for that purpose.
But I can't stop myself from liking that guy. That smile. Quote:

Seriously, what the hell is with the half-assed censorship- they white cloud the breast groping scene up close, but leave it completely uncensored from another perspective ?!
I could watch this entire series if only to see what Toori does next- needless to say from that priceless classroom scene, this fellow gives as good as he gets ...I'm going watch this episode again.
