one word: that was fucking good

not perfect by any means. but it his the comedy, the back story and world building, the inter personal relationships (mc and newbie). shit made me laugh and made me sad (not a "tearjerker", but i "felt" for the mc). and then the total shock of whatever tf happened at the end

Damn! Episode 1 was dope! yet, I was hoping the plot would revolve around that cleaning force, but it seems that this is not gonna be that slice-of-life sci-fi I imagined!

Good episode that starts the series off pretty strong. We're given enough material to satisfy us and leave us wanting more. Strong Solo Leveling vibes.

cool animation. but where's the seasoning & cooking scenes? Machines art so fuzzy some weird filters.
Kafka good senpai. Rena strange tsundere but nice. crazy jujutsu like monsters fits the dark osts. His henshin too abrupt but looks cool. standard plot, guess most surprisingly part is the white tiger just totally random.

I really like seeing Kafka and Leno interacting together! This first episode makes me want to read manga again, just sadly all my volumes are sealed in a absement few hundred km away. More Kaijuu!

I've not read the manga before watching the 1st episode and I'm glad I didn't yet. I was shocked to see what happened in the episode and I'm already hyped for the next episode. Might even buy the 1st volume.

Great first episode! Reminded me a little of Evangelion in terms of the cleaning duty.

I love Minas character type, stoic warrior princess is just always great.

I would not have minded if the dude stayed human and this was just about fighting Kaiju normally, but then this would be a different story I guess.

The first half was kind of slow, like every other anime's episode 1, but shit gets real in the second half. The plot is very interesting, and the visuals are really good and gives me kinda aesthetic vibes. Gonna be a good one in this season, for sure.

Not a fan of monster fighting shows all that much, but I went in blind anyway, and I'm surprised how much I liked it. Actually pretty good so far. Really intriguing episode with a nice twist, and much to look forward to. Couldn't have been happier; solid start.

Already recommended this anime in the office and to some friends, not them knowing that I just watched the first episode in YT because I am sleepy last night and me finding my self loving the animation and the background story of the MC. Didn't expect the last part since I have zero knowledge about this, didn't watch any trailer or what just watch straight the first episode and I was hooked by it.

The last part, I didn't understand much but it was so funny HAHAHAHA I laugh so much because of the granpa passing by and his friend being frantic.

What a bad luck to have, cleaning horrible smell intestines, meet with Yojuu and finally becoming one himself. The world reminiscing me of Onepunch man .Quite motivating as well to not deceive yourself and the hope to achieve your dream, the end was lol though

The art is a bit different from the manga (not as nice in the anime as the manga in my opinion) so that kind of threw me.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the ED song, I was really hoping for a Japanese banger but I'm personally also not a One Republic fan but to each their own.

I think I like how the manga starts the story off better than the anime but overall I think the anime is doing a pretty decent job so far. I'm certainly excited to see some of the manga scenes animated so I'm excited to continue watching this anime.

In my opinion, I found some of the comedy scenes to be a little cringe however when I read them in the manga they were funny and not cringe so maybe it's just the animation style that made them a bit cringe?

Decent first episode. It's cool having an older protagonist for once. Although the kaiju entering his mouth at the end felt really random.

This was a pretty good episode, very similar with Attack on Titan & Chainsaw Man. Since both of the main characters Kafka and Mina both started up to which I assume one of their family members died, decided to join the military force to fight Kaijus. But instead, both of them live two different lives where one fights a kaiju and the other has to clean after their mess and focusing on Kafka POV, you can really tell that he wants to be in the position where he wants to fight and protect everyone as well, and doesn’t have to clean after everyone’s mess. Even though he knew he was defenseless at that moment when his friend was gonna get eaten (which I honestly thought he was going to die right there and then, but it wasn’t that kind of anime) he still tried to find ways to defeat the monster. If it wasn’t for his friend to step in and save him he would’ve also died, so I guess they both return the favor, but now that he has an advantage to become a kaiju, this will feel vaguely similar to how chainsaw man started, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next episode, brother vs sister.

Solid first episode.

I was wondering where this would lead to. Our MC who leads a typical regular life, just working sleeping and eating. Then comes along another character that has the same dream as himself, only difference is our MC appears to be holding himself back.

The Kaiju appearance definitely came out of nowhere but added a lot of intensity. I thought the coworker was gonna die and that would be the motivator for our MC to join the Defense Force but nope! They didn’t leave each other behind!

As for that ending?! How the heck did our MC become a Kaiju????

Questions that I’m looking forward to finding the answer

I didn't read the synopsis so halfway through the episode I thought at his age of 27, like me lol, he'd find a renewed confidence to chase after his dream after failing once and then he'd actually make it through some dumb late blooming talent or something. But nah here's a power up for you handed on a platter. But that's just me though, I still like it so far.

Off to a really good start and the clean up job seems like more hell than the fighting. I can't imagine chainsawing through all that shit. Reno also seems like a true bro already as his reaction was not to run away from kaiju Kafka but to help him run. Also the reaction both had after the transformation was gold.

Character designs aren't that bad but they should improve it more. We need better visuals for the opening like version 2 in EP 7 - 12, it's also to great to hear western artist on an anime.
It's a proof that anime is really mainstream nowadays unlike before
