[Stark700]

ēlDLIVE is getting a TV anime adaptation from Shounen Jump for 2017. Studio will be Pierrot. (Reborn's author)

Plot Summary:

Chuuta Kokonose is an orphan who lives with his aunt. For as long as he can remember he's had a voice in his head, but other than that he's a normal boy - right until the day when a strangely-looking thing follows him home and teleports him to a place filled with more fantastic creatures. It's a space police station, and Rein Brickke, the Chief of Solar System Department, tells him that he's been chosen by the computer as a possible candidate to join the police force, although Misuzu Sonokata, a girl from Chuuta's school with an angelic face and ill temper who turns out to be one of Rein Brickke's subordinates, doesn't think him suitable for such a job. Chuuta, who was shocked at first, decides to take aptitude test after being urged by the voice in his head and to prove Misuzu wrong.

Well t first episode is out and it's pretty wild. Still no sure if it's good but reborn did take almost 30 episodes before getting to the real good stuff so...

Spoiler for episode one:

speaking of reborn that reference was pretty obvious. It looks like this happens in the same universe as that show with the reference to a Japanese boy becoming an Italian Mafia boss on th news

*sigh* I miss reborn. For all the failings and the adaptation it was a good show when it wasn't filling up time to avoid catching up to the manga. I still wish we could get a new season to finish up that story.

[Stark700]

Episode 1

Been reading the manga while ago and following it an irregular pace. The OP song fits and well, the characters are a bit gimmicky. Still, I got fun from watching this especially with the Reborn designs.

Granted the animation quality felt kinda average. Misuzu is cute imo though even with that cold personality of hers.

From all the introductions and premise, I think first episode was fine. Not too impressive but not too shabby either. Of course, they introduced the sci-fi elements into the story too. Chuta's character doesn't impress me much but it's the first episode so there's time for development.

[FlareKnight]

It was an ok first episode. Not great, but...ok. Not sure how to really describe this one. Has some interesting qualities that could work and if nothing else might be a nice show to relax and watch.

Chuta's character has some issues, but...it's kind of understandable. Hard to have great social skills when you are constantly distracted by a voice in your head and trying not to appear crazy. Not to mention having friends that died/seriously injured(?) would leave a mark. Not a greatly interesting character, but some room to improve. At least he stepped up here and might be able to work through his trauma.

Can the show just toss Misuzu out an airlock? Why is this person such an intense jerk? Outside of appearances there are no redeeming qualities there. Heck even after they find out why he could hear a voice and find out the incredible potential....she's still being a jerk. What a remarkably unlikable person....who is apparently the love interest. Yay?

[Flower]

Yeah ... count me in as one for whom watching the first episode was an odd and curious experience - not a bad one, mind you, just one that was ... weird. Like that ringing, tingling sensation after you lightly bang your elbow the wrong way against something hard unexpectedly.

I think I will try the second episode just because I am a bit amused at being lightly befuddled by the first episode XD

[BWTraveller]

I like it well enough, but then I'm a sucker for relationships like is obviously being set up between Chuuta and Misuzu. Wonder how long it'll take to prove to her that he's not worthless. She should at least realize now that he's not delusional since his montalien has revealed itself. Still, I would years ago have set some ground rules for that voice. But then again the guy must have seen how things were affecting him so I imagine he doesn't really care if he's ruining his friend's life or annoying him. But seriously, I'd have yelled so many times "No talking in public except for life-threatening emergencies".

[Ghostfriendly]

Couldn't get through EP 1.

[Psyco Diver]

First half wasn't that bad but the second half felt kinda stupid, I'll give it another episode or so

[Anh_Minh]

I went in with no expectations (I didn't even know it was a manga adaptation, let alone had the same author as Reborn)... and I still don't have expectations. It wasn't bad, it wasn't that interesting, but I still kinda want to know what happens next.

She reminds me a bit of Shiraho in Cube x Cursed x Curious, who also always had an accusation of sexual deviancy ready for the MC. But Shiraho was a lot more likeable. Oh, well, maybe it'll be better if/when we find out what her deal is.

A little early to be passing judgment so firmly against her. I've seen more than a few characters this harsh or harsher whose backstories make you really sympathize. The injured sometimes develop a tendency to lash out, and those that have had bad past experiences may automatically view everyone as bad until proven otherwise. It might take a while but at least wait until we're allowed to see some of her dere or her past before you declare her to be completely worthless. One episode's not really that much time to determine good and bad qualities in a character, especially if they're supposed to be reluctant to show their better side.

The thing is that now that they understand now why he was talking to himself forever at least understand a little, but still she keep the attitude, anyway it's sure she's going to calm down in the next chapters but it didn't start very well.

Well also we need to bear in mind that the girl hasn't had much contact with the guy outside that instant where he started drooling over the blob Sensei, and the job's obviously one that involved regularly putting your life on the line, where one mistake could be fatal. Given her low first impression of him, it's sort of understandable that when measuring him against the standards for such a major job he'd fall far short. Even if she now accepts that he's not insane and will fight if he has to, that still doesn't mean that she has to agree that he's got what it takes in this line of work.

[FlareKnight]

Spoiler for Ep2:

So yeah episode 2 happened and Misuzu is still a pain in the rear. In terms of personality traits she has zero redeeming features. It's not like she's just a jerk to Chuta. She's like that with everyone. It's just that the girls treat her garbage personality as being quirky and the guys don't care because she's cute. If she wasn't good at the job she'd be an entirely worthless character.

I suppose props to the show for going all out. Might as well make her a literal angel to create as big a gap between her personality and outward appearance as possible .

Rough going for Chuta this week, though he's making steps forward. Bit of a leap forward with this enemy. Biggest hurdle for him is going to be accelerating his thinking. Can do a lot of things if he thinks up the right approach, but that means he has to keep his mind sharp. Though that will probably take a while to happen.

[PreSage]

Misuzu is making it really hard for me to continue with this series. There are ways to make a character disagreeable without being downright annoying. Unfortunately, Misuzu is more annoying than disagreeable. I'll give this series another episode but if I can't endure Misuzu any more in the 3rd ep, I may end up dropping this or wait until there are more episodes out and just skip the first few.

[bastek66]

The ninja running was stupid, overall anime feels like Amano was stuck in previous decade with writing.

Spoiler:

But damn, the ED is good, the moment I saw this

Spoiler:

I knew it was Umetsu's

[RDNexus]

"Umetsu's"? Excuse me, care to explain?
