| This feels like watching a first episode of any Kamen Rider series. Many terms that we have no idea of were dropped for the first time. Then we see people transform to their more powerful forms. |
| Okay i just read the bio and now i understand it. Was okay but not the greatest. The visuals are top level (bones doing bones things). Maybe it will get better! |

| They should have given us more info on the world and whats going on but regardless this looks promising. |
 |
| I expected better they just give too many information in very short time and didn’t explain any of them?I fell like things was just happening |
| The synopsis tells more about this show than this first episode did. Something, something... and I guess something happened, and the rest is upto viewers' imagination. At least try to tell the bare minimum, even if it's the first episode, I mean nobody's asking for detailed or thorough explanations but still lol. Though anyways, I trust Bones. Hopefully we'd see better than this going forward. |
 |
| Really good start, I like this ! Like the ambiance, music, characters Awesome animation and its not some ugly 3D mechas this time x) I feel like there's gonna be a lot of humans/robots debate and theme Its gonna be a good one ~ |
| Basically cyberpunk Great Gatsby lol (not that it's a bad thing). One thing I don't like is this trend to this new animation style it's very visually abrassive because it feels choppy in that the frames are just, idk, clunky feeling. sorry for the repeat posts; it kept telling me there was errors posting and to try again :/ i thought generally it was really well done. |

Nice start. Appealing art and animation carry this, our main girls are more attractive on looks rather than personality so far. I'm sure there will be some compelling reason why they are hunting these special neans, since so far Viola was presented far more sympathetically than our protagonists (bold choice for the anime).
| @fathandz from what i gathered they are giving artifical drugs to these "neans" which they then restrict from them under penalty of withrawal that leads to death. I feel bad for Viola because she was kind of forced into it but it's not like she wasn't getting mad perquisites from it. can't say much for either side's ethics other than obviously the criminals are bad but holy cow they don't have to kill them on the street. then again maybe they do because with enhanced bodies like that they could just mech transform their way out of a jail cell. |

| I get the feeling this is going to suck. I hope I am wrong. |
Awoo :3 |
| Wasn't really planning to watch this, you know, since mecha isn't my thing, and I've got a personal grudge against Bones. But my friend insisted, so here I am, giving it a shot. To no one's surprise, the music and animation are actually pretty amazing. It's making me think, why can't MHA get a piece of this action? Bones, you never fail to surprise me. The start is decent; characters are kind of meh, but the world's got my curiosity. On to the next episode... |
 |
| I really liked this episode, everything about it was top notch. The visuals, music, the world building were really good. I don't know much about the story except the basics but I believe it'll be built upon in the next episodes. |
| This tried too hard to play 80s Cyberpunk with its Replicants *cough* Boomers *cough* Naeans and the big flashy looking city and oh look, the androids do menial work for everyone and are treated like garbage (because that idea wasn't around like FORTY years ago), oh look there's a cute girl and she likes chocolate (how cute) oh and look a cool badass guy with purple glasses who acts arrogant... doesn't he look exactly like a character from another anime? Loads of exposition- this anime plays exactly like most modern video games so we get 'world building'- tons of terms thrown around. Terms for every single thing. Naeans, nectar, "You're the Red Gladiator!", "she might be part of The Immortal Nine!" in place of actual story. All the female androids have this glowing pattern that shows on them when they take a hit of the drug. That's nice. But then there's an Ultimate Battle between the fabulous woman singer and the cute girl mc suited up in their Mecha-I-mean-hardsuits.. (what are they called in this?) and they start shouting at each other like they knew each other for ages... but the whole fight feels like NOTHING to me because I haven't got anything invested in these characters. The outcome of the fight doesn't matter, we have no idea who these characters are or why they're fighting- apart from the constant exposition with them shouting all the reasons- which uses so many terms and names for events that also mean nothing to us. It's 15 minutes into the very beginning of this thing, so showing deaths do not have the emotional impact the show wants it to have because they're in such a hurry and I have no idea who anyone really is or why they matter. It's just the first episode and this is different enough from all the other mass produced trash that's streaming these days to give it a few more episodes but I don't know. It feels like it's rushed, and if everything that happens in it is built upon events that in the beginning we didn't even see and have no connection to, then it'll feel just as hollow as the first episode did. It looks great but has no soul. |

| We got the Bladerunner Bubblegum Crisis setting Is Giallon related to Vash and Knives? |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Visually impressive, everything else was subpar. It's definitely trying to emulate Blade Runner with the long shots, synth music, and overall atmosphere. You even have replicants. But as for the plot, it really made no sense to me. Things were poorly explained, characters were mentioned that we have no context for, the pacing was weird, and the dialogue in some places was even weirder. Why exactly were they going after this singer? Who are the two people who apparently were killed? Kind of a shame given how good this looked. |
| Seems like it might be fun to keep up with. I do kinda sorta like the vibe this anime gives. Onward. |
| Enjoying this first episode a lot, all those cyberpunk vibes, Rouge has potential as MC, and I don't mind I m getting some Lycorys vibes from this. The OP at the end is very good, and I also enjoyed the ED (on episode 2), budget was definitely not a problem with Bones here. |
 |
| Kinda reminds me of detroit becomes human just from the setting, though its a bit confusing, hope its worth my run on it so far. The hype was really high for it |
| Good insofar. A nice roboto animu. |
 |
| Quite a tough premiere episode honestly with a bunch of a strange newly terms for this cyberpunk universe alone that suddenly pops-off right and left. Its kinda makes sense to create people a turn-off this fast, sadly. I feel like this have a potential to be the successor of Vivy. But honestly, i am gonna takes easy to my fall down already, as how everything not gonna comes smoothly right into my palm. Characters sure do be sweet and buttery. Yep its full of butter right on target. But something is missing big, on this Bones special project. |
