Getting some nice adventure vibes from this one!

Comments

Bro I did not catch that

Chideraa Udegbulem

Anybody else heard the Wakanda drums at 20:25? I had to replay it because I thought I was hearing things

Tirzah

right sheera that man is fine af!!

saiki k.

Jail

General Grevious

They really killed most of the characters we just got introduced to😂

General Grevious

Thank you for pointing this out! Was thinking the same thing!

Thulani Mason

Sure somebody probably pointed this out already, but the scene where Sheera's crush diced dude up was not metaphorical. He actually did that and that was the show's way of showing you how much of a problem he is. He literally cut him up and sheathed his sword before buddy realized he was dead. That's like a classic anime sword move lol.

Thulani Mason

kinda fucked that they really had to state that kiyoko , the kid he was talking to earlier got violated.

Random Guy

I didnt realize this was the next show from the Assassination Classroom guy. OOPS, time to catch up. Also, they animated the FUCK out of this show.

NecDW4

Clover worth does spy family and promised never land

Slim jimmy

When you have to start off as a level 1 fighter but the DM finally lets you multi-class into Swashbuckler Rogue.

Antionette.SP

Im getting Dororo Vibes anybody else??

Runawayjinx

Just so yall know, the ending song and scene is fire. 🔥 try to watch it at least once.

Marijayne

kids head rolled

Gmac paddiewac

no that happened

Gmac paddiewac

"trap" that is a child

n5ruto

How do you feel about american culture?

R.W.U.A

Don't entertain this foolishness lol

Offw0rlder

the triforce lol

MGC

Japanese VAs go hard

Chef MellowD

bro that was fucking brutal….

kai

So the transition of the ball falling to the head being cut, is actually the brother

GoddessHex

I think that was his older brother's head that fell off

LY

This looks beautiful! The atmosphere and art style are different and refreshing. Kinda happy to be able to recognize some of the names & places after playing a samurai-themed otome game lol.

LY

You guys should watch Akatsuki no Yona. It has a similar vibe to this.

ViralCorgi

Didn't know anything about this show so I was definitely not prepared to get the r@pe and murder of a child. Yikes. But the character design and animation is epic.

ViralCorgi

Man I'm so happy that yall are watching this! Yusei Matsui is one of my favorite mangakas and everything they make is peak. Yall already saw their previous work, Assassination Classroom, but my favorite manga from them is Neuro Supernatural Detective. Although the Neuro anime is kind of trash, the manga is amazing though.

Marijayne

Its not mid but if you have seen alot of anime in this time period then it won't feel that brand new. But it's nothing crazy so far. A good first episode with nice gore and betrayal.

Pain Amvs

DAMN THAT WAS HER I DIDNT NOTICE.

Pain Amvs

I noticed a lot of things as someone who watched so much anime I was like is that a boy or a girl lol. Then bro was not interested in his marriage material and buddy whispering in his ear while hes on the horse.

Pain Amvs

19:40... Gosh.. cuteness

Hueki Yuuki

Also gotta say this shota is so cute oh my goshhhhhhhhhhh

Hueki Yuuki

Don't worry the DEI / SBI woke freaks will make sure that culture the japanese are proud of and the sweet anime and mangas everyone loves will be turned to a gooey, american slop with no substance and trans disabled gay fairy protagonists and characters only.

Hueki Yuuki

The animation is amazing. That one "fight" scene felt straight out of a 90's or early 00's anime.

grodon909

I didn't know anything about this show. The only thing I knew was multiple comment from twitter saying this anime will turn straight men gay, and it showed a scene. After watching this, I can some what get it. That expression the MC was making after coming back up, is pretty hot/lewd. I still probably won't watch the anime, but glad it's pretty good.

Blue-Eyes W. Chibi

No Kyoko was the one who wanted to marry Tokiyuki. The one who kicked the ball was Tokiyuki's half brother. I had to read the first chapter in the manga cuz I missed quite a few details, but basically the ball coming down and being a head symbolized Tokiyuki's brother (the kid kicking the ball) getting beheaded a month later when they got attacked.

James Moss

Wasn't Kyoko the other one with eyes closed, the one kicking the ball?. During the scenes where everyone died, you can see her/him laying down dead and on top it said that she/him was raped and killed. That's fucked up

KingdorismHD

the crazy thing is most of the event in this anime actually happened in the real history lol

Anais

Brah I read a few chapters after this.....the brothers way of dying was truly fucked up

Dyastro

whats wrong with it?

Dyppsy

Did NOT expect episode 1 to be thos good holy

WillGlacier

Factually wrong

WillGlacier

No, if i meant that i would have said that 🤔

Grelk

By mid, you mean they took the time to explain the story instead of blow things up at any point in the episode, right?

Ren Lichtfoot

Yeah because demon slayer is a mid story elevated by its animation

Grelk

This shit so mid 🥲

Grelk

Crazy when the ball dropped and it showed the head rolling for a split second, that was actually the older brother's head 😢 Also, the fact that they violated the little girl that wanted to be his wife before killing her. Just awful 😖

Niuwah

Sheera thinks Takauji's fine because he's literally just an ancient Japanese version of Roshi lmao

Offw0rlder

Right! definitely has Naruto vibes

LiquidXGravity

Can't wait til Wisteria: Wand and Sword reaction, that one goes crazy

Ren Lichtfoot

W animation

JotaroDrake

The kid being pushed off the cliff and being ready to die before choosing to live and saving himself reminds me of Itachi. When kid Itachi jumped off the cliff and then on his way down he decided he wanted to live and used his kunai to save himself.

Semaj Brown

sht this show is good..... well time to read the manga LOL

J

20:26 Casual Wakanda theme start 😂

Dzhalil

Heavy dororo vibes, claim your throne hyakimaru!

DJ Muldrow

Yeah that what happened it was pretty obvious honestly

Fizzy

People need to stop sleeping on cloverworks they have so many good projects

Fizzy

The text on the screen at 14:18 said Kiyoko was violated and brutally slain

Ara Araragi

Ngl I saw the "triforce" in the trailer for this and got super excited, but as it turns out the Triforce from TLoZ was actually based on the mon of the Hojo clan which has the same shape. Don't know if the parts of the triforce (Power, Wisdom, and Courage) were derived from anything related to the clan, but I'd like to think it'd be a nice callback seeing as any good leader would possess those characteristics.

_monjiro

Wtf she got raped?

Diego

To be fair, tokiyuki is a young kid, half the age of nagisa, and his long hair has more to do with the culture of the time period

Márton Horánszky

I find it funny that the boy's teachera and girl Kiyoko that got killed and raped are just dancing in the ED to the rap music all happy-like

Gate

That was more story nothing to do with animation also director got rushed to the hospital wasn't made under best conditions

Mob K.O.

reminds me of ranking of kings

SirFappington

You know what happened with wonder egg tho lmao.

sotonye ogan

Ahhh, the Hojo clan. Yeah, that's their family crest. Definitely inspiration for the triforce. I love historical fiction so this is definitely gonna be interesting.

botanbutton

Ah I knew it. That voice is hard to miss.

botanbutton

Not sure if y'all know but the author of this series made Assassination Classroom

Tomaz

He always got these goofy op dudes. I love it.

Isaac

CloverWorks put their foot into this debut episode. They did Wonder Egg Priorty so I just know they gonna provide us with gorgeous animation and sakuga. VERY excited for this series!

Delinda Arts

NGL, I've read a few chapters up to beyond this episode when the manga came out in 2021. It never got my interest. But seeing it animated, it feels like Demon Slayer to me. I say that because Demon Slayer is so much better animated than reading it in manga. I'm getting the same vibes after seeing the animation for this.

Erd'na

they are reacting to it soon, read their schedule...

Arkan Matlub

This is going to end in a tragedy isn't it? I'm not an expert on Japanese history and never heard of Tokiyuki, but I know enough to have heard the name Ashikaga and know that the Ashikaga Shogunate lasted from the 14th century until the 16th century when good old Nobunaga rolled around.

Bking

love the manga, excited for you guys to experience this story!! the mangaka is the same one that made assassination classroom btw!!

peculiarxash

that was sad

Cold_Cyber

Between this and Wistoria we have some very strong sleeper hits this season that I was not expecting

Vincent S Deluca

1) pretty sure homeboy did literally get diced up 2) the decapitated head was the brother, it was from the back but same super long pony tail. His brother was executed along with the rest of his clan

Vincent S Deluca

watch him not necessarily be evil ,watch it be some 'I had my Shaman show me victory and glory' on some I have a future seeing Shaman too ,like some Magi type beat,which is also the vibe its giving me

Xavier Baker

Women be going through it in times of war. That poor girl. But great reaction guys!! I’m a little iffy about the pacing as well, the tone shift felt drastic. but I can kinda understand it. If Takauji is the main villain there’s no need to stretch it if they have a lot more to cover. Plus we got a good feel for the mc and where the story will go. Animation is amazing. Cant wait to see where this goes.

Kevin

Read that wrong I thought that said "rice" adventures 💀

EFFect_Phantom

Cloverworks animated WindBreaker

Zoe

bro suwa's va is gojo's, that man is booked and busy

AniyaNii

When the guy sheathed his sword, that actually did happen where he cut the guy next to him up super fast. It was just showing off how he’s a really good swordsman. And everything happened in a span of 24 days that’s crazy.

Kaylein Ontashia

Underrated gem so far

PJ Rivera

the brother got beheaded during the falling ball scene

rUISAn

Cloverworks is a very good animation company, their biggest animes theyve worked on are SpyxFamily, Bunny Girl Senpai, Bocchi, Promised Neverland,etc

Yoruka

Damn, would not have heard of this if not for you guys. Cheers because this was a great first ep.

Sam

So freakin glad ya'll picked this one up! This first episode cracked me up, I know we are in for some comedy with this one!

Lea Garrido

The anime this season seem crazy one that’s underrated is wistoria

JT

It's from the same creator of Assassination Classroom so I have high hopes. This was a fire first episode

Orlandez Malone

Damm did not notice the brother or her. Okay this a real dark one LETS GOOO

Oliver

They knew they fucked up with Promised Neverland so they locked in…and boy did they not miss ever again

Jazko

If you go back and watch the speech, Takauji is sheathing his sword. I think he literally sliced him up that fast.

Kwaku Afari

Nah this isn't as much as a trap as Nagisa though, still trapish though

Devin B

probably crunchyroll

britt

Yuichi Nakamura(Gojo's VA) getting them rolls bro. i clocked him as SOON as i heard the Priest's voice lmaoo

Jazmyne Mattucci

And poor betrothed girl died too....

Dyastro

Ranking of kings ahh powers

Guns

Right? Ts turned into Devilman real quick😭

DsWorldd •

I knew nothing about this show, just watched it randomly the other day. I'm already in

Huemon Nottabear

18:45 I like how they made a nod to old 90s type animation with the panning frame. Gave me heavyy beserk 1997 vibes

DsWorldd •

Cloverworks always cooks on everything. They collab with WIT on all of Spy x Family, and they've also done Wind Breaker, Bocchi the rock, Bunny girl senpai, Horimiya, my dress up darling and collabed with Trigger on Darling in the Franxx. What we DONT talk about is promised neverland S2 which they also did....Loved this episode a lot though, twist was insane. I swear they just cast gojo's VA as everyone now lmao

King of New York

I KNEW HE WAS EVIL IT'S ALWAYS THE PRETTY BOYS

Kisuke01

Any Umehara (Animation Producer) Project looks amazing. He also did Dress Up Darling for and Bocchi

zILovePelmeni _

This is gonna be an amazing ride...!

LordTouchMe

His brother did die they showed it in that ball scene the head that dropped was his brother you could tell by the hair tie

Aries

Look at the schedule bud

Boogie

Lmao this some re:zero crap shit turned left quick asl

Kd

Sidestep: The Anime

Argo2Unitard

Thomas Wynn III

When I saw this episode I thought it was a Slice of Life Comedy. I did not expect it to be all blood and gore

LiquidXGravity

💀😭

King of New York

MaXZii

Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hasnain Khan

New anime…im prolly boutta bust

Kd

I feel like it's pacing is too fast and jumps ahead while skimming over details.

Lūthér Hölâyèãhmé

What are they watching it on?

jeremychavez

That's twice in a row the AssClass mangaka has a trap as the main character. First Nagisa now this. I'm seeing a pattern lmao

King of New York

Can I ask why. Looks really good to me so far

foladara ayeni

This one took such a dark turn so fast. Also the animation was clean as fuck.

Kyle Pacanowski

ngl I'm apprehensive about this show so far

Lūthér Hölâyèãhmé
