Exploring the world in an anime by yourself is so much better than just some 5 min random blabbering by narrator on world setting at the start of an anime. |

| Getting that comedy action vibe REAL hard and I love it. Fricking cliffhanger ending 😂 Looking forward to more so hard. I already want a second season damn it I loooooooove tournaments, so this had a high chance of success for me before it even started lmao /Btw I wanna read the manhwa after the anime is done/ |
  tysm iva-🐢💜 |
| BTW this is DBZ like series if you are looking for character development (which i can understand) better watch something else this is more action based |

There's lots of plot twist coming later.MegamiRem said: What do u expect they'll start with how this explaining how this series works? Exploring the world in an anime by yourself is so much better than just some 5 min random blabbering by narrator on world setting at the start of an anime. The first episode should be interesting and give an expression that is easily understood by the audience. Idk if you are webtoon reader or not but for me who did not know anything about this series is really confused about what is this series about. I'm not saying every first episode of a series need to be as clear as possible but this episode ia absolutely abstract. That's why i'm giving 2/5 for NOW. |

shane_nichols said: How far have u read? Surely didn't get past first season lol? Cause this is not dragon ball series where only action matters. Sure it's mostly action but the story here is good unlike DB.MegamiRem said: I read the Webcomic. Its boring. Constant fighting most of the time. Thats all this isIn what way is this generic tell me?

| That was really fun ! I'm digging the comedy and the animation. I'm sure the characters will grow on me over time. Excited for future episodes. |
 |
| What an interesting pilot episode. That prime minister is scary. But it kinda reminds me of Kung Fu Hustle. I wonder what powers does he still have... As seen from the sneak peek, the chase is quite hilarious especially Yoo Mira getting splattered into the signage. A trio has been formed. Battle royale? Never expected that since most tournament arcs are based on rankings. Damn, Man-seok is interesting. Especially voiced by Gin-san aka Sugita-san. His attacks are good. Animation's quite alright, I hope it wouldn't drop in further episodes. Can't wait for the next episode! |
 |
| Skipped the introduction but the 1st episode was good. The fight scenes were nice too. |
 |
| Okay, that was entertaining as heck first up! Op visuals are right on point and one of the most exhilarating ones from the year already! Music and Song are pretty dope too, even though I'm not usually a fan of dub-steps. Heck, even the ED is great too (visually and song-wise). I didn't think we'd get Op and ED on par with Kami no Tou so fast from these CR Originals, honestly. Soundtracks gets a big OK for me too. Animation itself is pretty good and I enjoyed some of the action scenes a fair bit. I watched the 5-minute premiere earlier so I know motion capture was integrated here and it looked great! Here's to hoping the quality won't deteriorate too much from here on. Directing also stood out this episode. Hopefully, we'll be getting the same from JJK next season. MC pulling down the pants and connecting a blow to the ankle plus the main female lead showing a bit of her fighting prowess were some of the more memorable moments of the episode for me. Prime Minister bit at the start was kind of random but I'm looking forward to seeing how that'll be developed alongside the tournament events. Seems like our MC has had history with these folks, how interesting. Cliffhanger to end things off and it'll certainly be some wait for more. So far, easily the best first episode of the Season but the big guns have yet to air so maybe it's a little early to call it. By the way, I noticed a lot of CR and Webtoon advertising. Lol, it's nice to see them being quirky like this. |

nightcrawlercyp said: VP2003boi said: wait bad animation? we watched the same episode right? Maybe.. I do not know what you watched. But since you seem to be a fan of the original material can you explain why everyone looks like Rudolf the red nosed reindeer? Animation is good for the first episode, I don't know what's a good animation for you. For the red nose, the author designed like this, which doesn't disturb me. |
| I swear those attacks by Mira are totally Demon Slayer rip-offs lol |
| What a fun episode! I wasn’t disappointed at all, totally worth the hype!! Good job MAPPA. |
| The OP is great and the animation is good for a web toon I am waiting to see what made people so overhyped for this |
| I'm very hyped for this, great first episode and I'm calling it now that this show will be one of the best martial arts series to have come out in a long time |
| not bad but why are all ears and noses red? and wth is with the ear form by many ? |
| That was a great start, im hyped! 5/5 |
| Okay, this was a really entertaining episode. The problems I had were the mc's voice, it seemed a bit grating and the hit or miss comedy scenes, which were mostly miss. But the fights looked pretty cool and the animation is great. Not a fan of the OP but I liked the visuals and the ED is good. Looking forward to more! |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| I knew this anime will be promising after watching the trailer. It certainly lives up to its hype like Tower of God. Though I noticed that some things was skipped in the anime, because I read the manhwa before; however, it's still a great for anime only. Props to MAPPA for the Animation. I hope that the next episode will introduce the characters. |
 |
| already quite a lot of action from the start which is nice. nothing really special but still interesting to watch. i really loved that chase though when all three of them teamed up that was funny lmao. i like all of the characters personalities too especially mira (i'm not good at remembering names). it was quite funny to see korean names and hangul everywhere in an anime as i used to watch a lot korean stuff before lol. |
| MAPPA is doing a fine job considering how much I hate this manhwa. 3/5 |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| First things first, that OP is absolute fire! Secondly, based on first episode impressions I'm already enjoying this way more than it's webtoon comrade Tower of God. The scene where the main characters all meet feels slightly forced and unrealistic (not just because of the munching) — it's obviously happening for plot convenience, but such stuff aside in terms of action and entertainment I did like it. The cast has some vibrant designs as well, I dig how all of the important ones have the nose blush, it's a small thing but it really brings them to life. |

| Ngl that was pretty poggers. It's been a long time since I remember watching an anime with a Goku like personality if that makes sense.... |
| When I first tried the webtoon when the anime for this was announced I thought this was gonna be a flop from day one, but i'd still give it a go, turns out this has a chance! It made me laugh a few times, and Mira is genuinely likeable. I'm not very big on the whole fighting thing though, so a few points down for that. The two big problems I had with this episode were the streamer-rapper guy that just made me want to die, and the super obvious CR and webtoon adverts on the ring apron in the intro and in a background in the actual episode, other than that this was fine Animation is average, I expected better from the guys trusted with the final season of AoT, but oh well, I still have high hopes for that animation-wise. This by far trumps ToG's first episode, this is the better of the two "webtoon anime" so far. |
 |
| Holy Shit that was a pretty good first episode so far i am pretty happy with this 5/5 |

| Yea tbh,if we're going to compare this opening vs the ToG one,the latter wins BY FAR. I don't like this opening but I like the visuals and another thing that I hate is the role that crunchyroll plays in this anime.So far I love both Daewi and Mori but I'm meh towards the girl. Loved the action tho, it was hard keeping with what was happening at the end but I loved it and also kinda hate the battle royale thing. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Imagine in a casual anime for a guy to go up to girls and say that he likes their bodies, so they strip and pose for him... |
| Well, the show is pretty funny, wasn't expecting it to make me laugh that many times tbh, hopefully it keeps the amount of jokes consistent like this. |
 |
| I normally don't like action shows (yes, I know, it's weird), but I thought I'd give this one a go because the OP was kinda catchy. It was actually pretty interesting. EDIT: It was also pretty funny; I found myself laughing quite a few times. Looking forward to the next episode! |
 |
| Great start! I love the energy and comedy. I don't know the source material so I'm assuming the 3 kids involved im the bike chase are the 3 main characters. If so, I like them already. From the busted alarm clock guy to the "I love muscles" girl to the hard working guy, they all seem interesting. |
 |
| Pretty good action and animation, but I think it might have been a bit too fast-paced with too little story. Also, what's with everyone having red noses and cauliflower ear? Still, seeing as it's only the first episode out of thirteen, it's a bit idiotic to judge it so early, so I'll watch and see how it continues. |

The red noses is just a part of the artstyle choices from the webtoon pretty much. For the series in a way, its a trademark lol. |
ElGoblino said: nightcrawlercyp said: Maybe.. I do not know what you watched. But since you seem to be a fan of the original material can you explain why everyone looks like Rudolf the red nosed reindeer? And here ladies and gentlemen we have someone that doesn't know shit about art and animation but he likes to talk and give his opinion and thinks both are same thing. The guy asks him how does this show have bad animation when in fact it's actually great and he responds with why everyone has red noses which has nothing to do animation. Facepalm well animation has been a passion of mine for over 20 years , studied it, created some 2d, 3d, game animation, done my share of art both in pencil and digital (see deviantart page with same name) but is clear I have no idea what I am talking about. True good animation accounts for the mechanics of biological bodies that have bones and muscles and respond to physical laws but hey that does not matter, right? MegamiRem said: Good animation takes into account the laws of physics and makes movements look natural. Also about the visuals they are supposed to represent real human being but there are a ton of parts not well drawn at all.nightcrawlercyp said: Bad visual? Bad animation? Lmao wut? Care to elaborate what good animation and visuals are then lmao?Is this a bad clone of DOA from someone that seems unable to properly draw a human nose for some reason? I mean I have trouble with them as well but I do not make everyone look like they are drunk or having a flu. Also the drawing style is really bad I liked TOG but his one is really bad I mean bad visuals bad animation and almost nothing is explained, the comedy falls flat and so on Dust_Eyezz said: nightcrawlercyp said: you gave arifureta a 9 and complain about visuals? Interesting...Maybe.. I do not know what you watched. But since you seem to be a fan of the original material can you explain why everyone looks like Rudolf the red nosed reindeer? Arifureta had bad visuals? Interesting... I do not like this because it does not use shading (except for the noses which makes look weird) and the drawings look either sketchy or ... how to put this... with too many corners. Also Arifureta had a great story . This is a dime a dozen. I have read at least 10 korean manga with the exact same story as this anime. |
