| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hm, I thought it was alright, wasn't that impressed by the first episode though as it's what I had expected. Exorcism, main characters introduced, and otherworldly creatures... I really like the OST thought when Benio is fighting. Hopefully the season will explore more about their characters as well.  |

| That was an alright first episode. The art style is ok. The song at the end was not bad. Benio pretty badass taking down those smaller Kegare. Rokuro defeating the bigger one with one hit. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| Ok first episode. Benio's expressions in this episode amused me. Not a big fan of the Rokuro's design. Teeth and eyes feels off to me. Action was cool in this episode. Rokuro already seems op. |
 |
| Just OK? Not sure we watched the same show. I thought that was a great start to it, looking forward to more. Wasn't sure given the airing time if I'd like it but it seems even with it being on fairly early on TV Tokyo they have kept it very dark. |
| Oh it sure is hard to get over how bad the MC's design is and how lame he is. I miss protagonists you were supposed to look up to, not pity or laugh at. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| It seemed to be going nowhere fast with all that slapstick nonsense at the beginning, but Magano and the Kegare have a really interesting style. The fights were just okay but with time I think they'll get better. Seeing a bunch of text pop up after every attack name got real old real fast, though... |
✧ |
| Who ever said Natsuki Hanae is a bad decision for voicing Rokuro is a complete retard after this. |
|
| Hmmmm....not a bad first episode, maybe a bit slow. It's been awhile since I read the earliest chapters of the manga, but I think the stuff with Benio on the train was anime only, up until she falls from the sky. I could be wrong on that though. Interesting how Magano was given a red tint. For whatever reason I never picture it with one while reading the manga. It was really nice to finally see my favorite girl Mayura and her big, beautiful tits animated! XD |
| No way this is 4 cour O_O Anyway, against all odds, I heard that this was actually adapted very well with chapter 1 given justice so I'm kinda proud of Pierrot lol |
| Ok first episode. The battles looks cool and all, though the character design is weird. However, I liked the female MC a bit for her expressions. The guy at the end made me laugh with that face. |
 |
| Who the fuck was the crazy chick at the end?! |
| "I lost all of what you could call feelings of love. They weren't sealed, so they can't be released. They weren't broken, so they can't be fixed. That which is lost, cannot be recovered." Shiba Tatsuya "There are no regrets. If one can be proud of one's life, one should not wish for another chance." Saber "No matter what happens, no matter how crazy things get, I'll always try to restore balance." Korra "It's madness to let others take what's yours and accept it blindly." Baatar Jr "Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong." Zaheer "Partner in crime, partner in time" Chloe Price and Max Caulfield |
| That was pretty decent, better than what I expected. Some of the character designs are mediocre imo. 3/5 |

Antanaru said: I miss protagonists you were supposed to look up to, not pity or laugh at. Well, characters like that usually end up being so after some development. The point in Rokuro being pitiful and just overall lame in most aspects is to show that he's not good at anything besides exorcism, something he really does not want to do ever since the tragedy that happened to him but life's like "Welp, you'll probably be forced back into it considering how much talent you have for it." |

| Alright first episode. I enjoyed the animation. The characters colors amidst the dark backgrounds felt slightly off putting, but I prefer this to incredibly dark visuals that blend end to the background. The rest of the animation felt smooth. The fight scenes were well animated but started feeling repetitive by the end of the episode, so I hope the switch it up as the season goes on. I am referring specifically to the close up on the face mask right before doing a 'signature' move. The pacing felt a little fast and I wasn't a fan of the flashback at the very beginning of the episode. This probably comes down to personal tastes. So far the anime seems very typical in terms of plot and characters, but the production quality seems to be higher than other shows. I will definitely continue watching, but I will not be expecting too much moving forward. |
| But that's just one opinion. |
Tokoya said: No way this is 4 cour O_O Sasuga Pierrot... |
| I liked how Pierrot added stuff that was supplemental to the source material. We got to see why Benio fell from the sky, for instance. And the parts where the attack names showed up kinda reminded me of video games ^^ |

With 4 cours they can adapting into latest volume (8 volume so far and with this pace they can adapted 10/11 volumes) which is good and not rushed. Maybe they can added some fillers. It's like Gintama 2015, considering that this show also replace Gintama timeslot. |

| I have always like onmyouji kind of genre, those chantings and talismen and stuffs very cool. |

| Damn, I didn't expect it to be this good. Very nice episode, we got introduced to some details about our MCs and the OST is good. Wagakki Band are amazing for the OP. |
| After watching this episode myself, they kinda changed a good amount of things Like things played out virtually the same way as the manga but this kinda scares me because I don't want them to deviate from the manga too much going forward because there's no need to really....But that train scene with Benio was a nice touch I must admit Either way, I thought that the episode was good enough, the character designs still bother me but at least the animationand fight scenes were pretty good....Voice acting was perfect surprisingly too |

| Paper in Japan is surprisingly throwable. Her mask is probably stored in the same inter-dimensional pocket Sailor Moon's wand is. Not much on this season, guess I'll watch. |
Lulupus said: It can be done without reducing him to a comic relief character. I'm just tired of this trend in anime nowadays. It's being so overdone you need only a couple of seconds to think "oh, it's that kind of character" and immediately become bored since there's nothing to discover about it. There's so much you can do with "premade elements".Antanaru said: I miss protagonists you were supposed to look up to, not pity or laugh at.

| Well I think ... It was okay |

| Pretty good first episode. It gave us a nice introduction to the characters. The backrounds in Magano were cool with their dark color scheme. I think I'll like this. |

Crazy-eyes-bugging-out = villain. It's anime, crazy people are evil. |
| I don't know. I like the first episode but it seem they changed quite a bit. I mean the first time we see Rokuro in the manga is when he come home after getting rejected in the manga and I don't think I ever saw that fox spirit in the Manga unless it's later then has been translated. |

The fox shikigami is an anime-only character but his design can be found in the extras of volume 6 |
|
| Pretty standard battle shonen pilot episode. Poor busty childhood friend will have no chance romantically. Found the attack names on screen to be fairly silly but that's what the genre does sometimes. Liked the kegare designs. I'll stick to it for now. Should be an okay lazy afternoon watch. |

The mangaka's previous work was a comedy so it makes sense to make Rokuro a comic relief at times. In fact, the author makes all of the characters in this story have at least one thing laughable about them, so it's not just the protagonist. It also balances out his angst that we'll eventually see later, which is nice since edgelord protagonists who are serious and angsty all the time tend to be very boring as well. |

| wow this was actually better than boku no hero im impressed |
| 4/5 I liked it, but I wasn't all that excited or impressed by it. I did enjoy it though, and shall continue. Biggest problem I have so far though, is Enmada Rokuro's character. I don't really like him -^- |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| I don't know.. i will probably drop it, the story seemed a quite weak, the characters personalities, and the "villain" at the end so stereotyped, all these things about "my power is a curse" too, the art that was average at best. If it's 4cour i'm out, no way i'm gonna watch. |

| ok start cute girl meets op boy |
 |
| Pretty good start. They added some anime original material but I'd say it was a good decision. It helped to establish Benio's character properly and also introduces some of the characters. The art design and animation also seems decent for a 4 cour show. (Thank god it's not like World Trigger) |
| I imagined Mayura being with Yellow/Orange hair..(blonde/ging)...But with greenish color she looks awesome....Rokuro & Benio voices are the same as I imagined....just please let this show get full 25/ 2 cour episodes....+ a second season & I want my 29th chapter of the manga already!!!! |
 |
| No one has anything to say about that voice talking with benio during the fight? seriously? Please don't tell me they added "talking little friends"... |

Chinese streaming site lists the show as 4 cour. |
| Wow, I completely forgot there was an adaptation for this.Ever since Japanzai stopped translating the manga i kinda forgot about the series (though i did read the newest chapters translated by other source). |
 |
| Ok episode. Will keep watching because of the author. |
 |
| This was pretty good first episode. Remembering the little manga I read of it, this will be a good anime... sadly naturally manga is far from over and this is advertisement for that manga, so what we will get is yet another unfinished show, because of that I can't be too hyped about it. Still, the story that anime will be adapting is pretty good as well and there are some good fights out there as well, so it will be nice to see those animated. For one, I love the Magano design as in manga well it was well black and white and I imaged it as brown/yellow/orange... here however we get some kind of hell city. The show production quality definitely isn't the best out there but it's decent enough and it was well adapted first chapter I think. Now someone mentioned 4-cours... I don't know about that. I just checked and there are only 28 chapters. Sure this is a monthly series with 45 pages long chapters but nah I don't see it. Which animes nowadays get a 4-courts? ... new seasons of Ginatama? Second season of Diamond no Ace... I can think only of those two that I watched. |
He said chick, I said it was a man. Also he's not a bad guy. |
| wow just wow, it's so much better compare to what i have imagined, consider Pierrot doing this... this episode is just amazing... definitely one of my fav this season along with hero academia and re zero i hope Pierrot will keep this up... i hear from above comments it will be a 4 cour... really ? 'cause the English translation of it's manga is only 28 at the moment.... maybe the raw version has many more chapters that yet to be translated i don't know oh and that opening song at the end is awesome.... Wagakki Band ROCKS... |
