| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ohma vs. Sekibayashi (my favorite character in the series) was done extremely well. This episode gave me absolute hopes that the CGI will be as pretty as this throughout. It was incredible. The "powerup" visual looks pretty sick too, it's like only his outlines are shaking, it gives out a neat little effect. Not only that but they've done a pretty good job on making each hit feel impactful and painful. As much as I usually detest CGI, this adaptation has not disappointed me so far. The alleyway scene in the very beginning of the first episode was janky but the series quickly got over that. |
| Yay for tournament arc. And with stakes this high, we will see all kind of crazy people fighting to death. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| LUL what is going on with this awakening? This fight was much intessive than previous. Tournament arc might be interesing! |
| So this is... Pretty good? Holy shit. What the fuck. Didn't really know what to expect since it looked like complete arse in every trailer and promo material (well actually, I did - I expected it to be fucking terrible) but this is actually entertaining and has me rather hooked. And its CGI isn't even that bad either. Or at least, you get used to it quickly and it's good where it matters: the fights. Good proof for me about whether or not an action show like this has great fights is if I find myself wanting to go back and replay hype scenes as soon as they're over. And I'm doing that here! The music is especially great in many of those hype scenes. This is very silly--don't get me wrong--but in the overly-masculine dumb fun kinda way I think. It's self-aware about it. Also it's reminding me a lot of Kaiji with its themes. You've got the dreary corporate world with the sociopathic, super powerful (and often very old) gambling business men/"elite class", the sniveling protag in a possibly rags-to-riches story against these men, the super tense all or nothing matches... I like this. And it's really not as bad as people are saying imo. I'm thinking a lot of the hate is just to do with the initially off-putting 3D art-style (which will inevitably get it a lot of drops) and fans of the manga being disappointed at how it's been adapted (in 3D... Once again by courtesy of Netflix). Which I guess is all fair to a degree, but it's really not much in the way of proper criticism. |

Zaugr said: and fans of the manga being disappointed at how it's been adapted I'm a manga fan and past ep 1 I had absolutely no problem with the CGI. If anything the rushed pace really undersells some of the later scenes. |
Chairman Katahara kinda reminds me of Kazutaka Hyoudou of the Kaiji series   |

| Wtf is this pacing? It's like tokyo ghoul:re all over again |
  whats a signature |
| I like Sekibayashi, he's a good sport though he really does talk a lot. |
 |
| I expected Ohma to face a couple more people as strong as Lihito but immediately going for strong people like Sekibayashi makes this more interesting. Looks like there is going to be a tournament full of those kind of monsters to battle |
 |
| Omg, how can they attack with broken fingers, ouch! |
 |
| "Kicks may break my ribs, but concrete pillars will do no harm." - Ohma |
 |
| Tokita is leading on a backlog of revenge, let's see where that takes him to. |
| The fight was great and much tougher than the previous ones, I thought Ohma killed the guy but nah, even though he blocked his throat lol, now time for the big death tournament |
 |
| The wrestler was defo a more interesting opponent than the razor finger tips guy. We go straight into a tournament, hopefully it's worthwhile |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| So, they completely skipped Kaburagi in this adaptation. That's really sad. The dude is an interesting character and somewhat an important figure after all. Also, he must appear later on in the story. Now I wonder if he will ever be introduced or they just alter the events when he takes part. |
 |
| that was pretty cool, i don't mind the 3D at all |
