| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- W.O.W. As I had expected.. Amazing quality... and lotsa action! sasuga BONES! ♡ lol I think the art style was pretty unique. but somehow Maka's voice sounded a bit weird... hmm Anyone else seen it yet? |
| Waiting on the raw :( Anyway best op of the season so far easily. EDIT - RAW OUT! |

| Awesome opening. As from the trailer I liked the art. The voice actors really do work but I still don't like Maka's for some reason. I'll get over it in time. |
     |
| Great opening and beautifull translation from manga to anime. Animation is stunning and fluid. Watching such anime in HD is a treat =) |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| I hope Maka's VA improves quickly... anyway animation was great, op was awesome (needed more Medusa!!) and the music was fine. Blair = <3 and Maka's dad is a laugh. I'll be curious to see the differences between this and the uncut version and I'm looking forward to Blackstar making his debut next week :) Death the Kidd is going to be awesome in week 3 as welll! |
| Well, if I'm going to be honest I was a bit disapointed. The animation is not awesome in all aspects. Surely the backgrounds are but I think they exaggerated in the lack of detail character wise, and there were also a few shots were they seemed like sheets of paper. Other than that the adaptation was quite nice, the comedy scenes were pretty good especially the ones with Deathscythe and Shinigami-sama. As for the actions scenes, there were good but I've seen better this season with Nabari. I'm looking forward to see how they're going to handle the presentations of Black Star and Kidd. |

| Awesome start as expected, Maka's voice isn't that bad, i thought it was decent enough. The OP song alright, I enjoyed the ending more though. I am a bit discontent with Black Star's VA since its the same person for Naruto, I hope I'll enjoy it this time around unlike Naruto. |

| this was so f*cking great O_O and i actually liked maka's voice a lot... |

Black Star is voiced by someone different. Kobayashi Yumiko, to be exact. Maka's VA does need some improvement, but i don't think it's that bad. |

| funn, i actually thought that that unpolished voice fits perfectly maka's looks and personality ^^" and it's different from the normal girl voice you usually hear in anime. |
ephemeralM said: it's different from the normal girl voice you usually hear in anime. true. that's exactly what I thought after hearing Maka's voice for several minutes. :P |
| I didn't mind Maka's voice, what annoyed me is that her acting was very amateurish, to the point where it made Macross Frontier's Megumi Nakajima (Lanca Lee) look like a veteran in comparison. And Megumi Nakajima was rough! I expect her to improve, I just hope it's quick because she is the main character along with Soul, at least we won't hear her again until episode 4. |
| ohhh i love this! i smell adiction |

| nice animation |
     |
| Awesome animation as expected from BONES, great OP and ED and some interesting VA choices (especially Maka's seiyuu). I'm looking forward the seeing the other two weaponry pairs! I hope the animation quality remains high for the entire 51 ep series. |
     |
| gief subs ;< also yes, i love BONES |
|
| This anime seems to be great, just as suspected :D |
 |
| Shinigami chop~! Very pleased with this series, so far. Animation is awesome, especially the fight scenes. Loving Maka-chan, I don't think her seiyuu is all that bad... And the OP is made of win. Watched 15+ times, so far. |
| That was awesome. Loved it. *_* I hope the quality will remain the same for the entire series. |
| Animation was really good, and the story was decent, but not really anything special. Amazing opening as well (TM Revolution always does a good job), but I didn't like any of the voice acting other than Maka's. A lot of it felt a bit out of place to me. I'll keep following it just because it's nice to have a solid action series that looks good. If the story picks up a bit this could end up being an amazing show, but either way it looks like it'll at least be decent. |
| 世界は美しくなんかない。 そしてそれ故に、美しい |
| ohmaaygaawd, this is cool even if Soul doesn't think so :3 |

| Okay. This was srsly unexpected. I was thinking along the lines of Jigoku Shoujo. This is like a cartoon bleach!? nway, gave me a good impression. Not my highest prioirty this season though (well, not yet nway XD) |
| Whooo, that was unexpectedly awesome. Didn't have any expectations for this at all, but the first episode was great. |
| Opening: Awesom Ending: It was from the same Autor like on Naruto Opening, i think. Episode: Really lucky that i show this one^^ BONES FTW^^ |
 |
| the animation and colors were great @_@ and maka's voice sounds familiar but when i checked, it's her va's debut? @_@ nice. i had to rewatch to check why some of you guys didn't like her acting but yeah, i don't notice those tiny details when watching for the first time etc...yup she does have some bad parts but then as a whole i think she fits the character perfectly(as of now. havent read the manga yet) |
 |
| Wow :D pretty awesome Looking forward to more |
     |
| really loved it! but im a sucker for cute girls with big weapons :p OP was great, ED too. The animation gave me a bit ofa cartoonesk feeling for the few minutes but i got used to it really fast, wouldnt have it any other way now! Donno why people complain about the voice acting, imho they where good and maka's fits the personalety in my ears. her father really cracked me up btw :D Anyway defenatly a series ill keep watching! hope they keep this qualety up for 51 eps so this might end up in my top10 :p |
| Excellent start, I'll definitely stick with this one. I love Soul, he's great... |
| I quite like the animation - bones did a great job and this anime is quite promising at least as a supernatural comedy. OP and ED are also quite nice. Definitely something I'll follow a while longer.  |
 |
| *drools* :Q____ Didn't expect THIS... |
| it seems to be the major consensus that this anime has surprised alot of people with how good it has started out (im one of them). i didn't even know about it, i just happened across it and decided to try it out. so far it is one of my fav new series. |
| that was kick@$$ i loved it =D |
| i'm fond of it, even though is guess itll take some time until he'll be a death scythe. sodding cat-witch-thing. |
| 耳を塞いでも両手をすり抜ける真実に惑うよ。 |
| what is with octupus nick names and obsessed fathers? well this was a pretty interesting anime. animeation wasnt bad either. its gonna be fun watching this. |
| awseome ?hmm when they showed that school or wha eva I was like zomg wtf srry but I did not like thise friend of me was also like zomg wtf I expected more from bones to bad I dislike thise so I drop it after 1 ep ^^ |

Not my highest prioirty this season though (well, not yet nway XD) Yeah it's like animated for kids, ok the animation is neat but that's only if you don't mind having no details.. I dropped it after a few minutes... And I didn't really like the voice acting either.. Didn't bother to know the plot so.. |
 |
| i saw the trailer for this anime so i knew what to expect XD just from watching the trailer, i knew this anime was going to be amazing 51 episodes... that's gonna keep me happy for a LONG time XD so how much do you guys wanna bet this will air on cartoon network? adult swim? |
| this was wicked. really enjoyed the first episode. the fights were pretty awesome. looking forward to the next episode since Black Star and Tsubaki is my fave team. |

|
| Wow opening was freakin awesome. Loved the art style and fast paced action so far. It was a good 1st episode overall. On another note, I'm sure Maya's voice actor will get better with time. |
     |
| I really liked it, I wasn't expecting much because when I started the manga it didn’t caught my attention… it has now! I did like the voice actors especially Soul (I was expecting someone more childish) and I particularly liked nosebleed sound xD Also the music was really good except for the ending :D |
 |
| It was ok! I expected more of it! The art was kinda uniqe at times. Like the moon, the city, the characters. etc. but at times it felt "too" animated somehow! :/ |
| LOL at Maka's dad xD Sound and animation was brilliant. Hope it carries on this way. I didn't have a big problem with the VAs. I like Maka's voice :\ |
 |
Tamako said: but at times it felt "too" animated somehow! :/ nah I just like that. when you want something realistic you can watch a movie but this serie really has many things wich can be achieved with animation only and puts this in front like the total non realistic animation. |
