[…] pretty good; however, I don’t think I was as blown away as blissmo @ Yukan Blog! or Riex @ THAT Animeblog. Part of this is due to the fact that there weren’t many fight scenes to examine and also […]

Well, most people seem to prefer the Animanda sub, which I just watched and recommend too. The subs and video quality are top notch.

@beingmeyuki
I’m using Rumi subs at the moment because they actually have both episodes out and seem to sub pretty fast. Also the sub quality is pretty good.

I’m starting to fall in love with this show. It looks much better than the manga and the boys… (Starts drooling and faints out of excitement.) It’s so much better than Naruto a million times!

Subs are up if you want to watch it subbed ^-^ I’m sure if you do a search you’ll find them.

I was in love by the time the opening scene was over. And then by the time the OP was done. I was head over heels.

Of course I love ninjas, so they were already off to a good start. Shippuden wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t dragging it out at a so bloody excruciatingly slow pace. I mean how many episodes did it take to animate extracting Shukaku?

Still I understand why they are doing it. Namely they don’t want to catch up with the manga so soon. Which I am enjoying way more than the anime of late. Well sort of. Although if Kishimoto doesn’t give Naruto some serious page time soon he might as well rename the manga Sasuke.

J.C Staff I love you! Of course I’d love you even more if there was more Ghost Hunt, but you need more material for that, so I won’t hold it against you.

Will definitely be watching the rest of this.

Wow, I got exactly the same reaction about the fight scene was as exciting as early Naruto. Hopefully future fights will also be more taijutsu based, as the more ninjutsu based Naruto is, the more boring the fights are. The background art reminds me a lot to Byousoku 5 cm somehow.

where can I find the first episode with eng sub? I’ve been looking every where and haven’t found any… *pouts*

Hey, anyone know if any fansub groups have declared to cover this? Tracking down the first ep is becoming increasingly difficult.

Besides the fact that hearing Yuji and Shana bickering again is painful, the fight scenes were wonderful. As is the art. Absolutely splendid.

I have been following this manga for ages, and I am so so happy that it’s an anime now. Actually, I’m so happy that it’s a FSCKING BADASS ANIME now. Those fight scenes, MY GOD, YES. As soon as I get home, I’m watching this again. And again. And again…

Here we go:

@alym
Can’t wait for you to see the first episode, it’s badass.

@L-Chan
You don’t actually get to hear him too much in this episode. But, he’s evil, and I’m sure we’ll get to here a nice evil speech soon enough.

@Kona
Samurai chick is in the NEXT episode. I put that pic up there because I LIKE the funky way that it’s drawn. To each his/her own though.

@D4yt1me
You make valid points about both Naruto and Ninja Scroll…but eventually there has to come a time when someone gets it right…right?

@Zeroblade
Your wish, granted. (in episode 2)

@Calaveth & Ruk
Be sure to stay tuned here…I’m looking forward to your commentary.

@kai_y
Rofl. It does come across that way for a little while. As the manga progresses, it gets toned down though.

@Briar
I still enjoyed the first half of the episode. That slapstick humor is the kind of thing that often saves this kind of anime. I mean…do we REALLY care about what bad guy is wanting to take over the world? No. But a spoonful of humor helps the medicine go down. As far as the backdrops go…I actually like them (after having watched the ep like 3 times). And yes yes yes yes yes, the second half is badass.

The blonde girl wasn’t in the first episode; I think the screencap is from the OP, right, Rieuzedx? She will be introduced in the next episode.

I didn’t expect to like the anime; the first half of the anime is full of rather slapstick humor with the really, really fake looking backdrop that Rieuzedx mentioned. But then, the ninjas came in, and suddenly the anime is so addictive. Boy, those fight scenes are seriously kick ass. And the faces the characters make suddenly isn’t as abrupt and silly as before. I’m very much looking forward to the next episode.
