What am I in for?
>>287386099One of the best video game adaptations.You can skip episode one or not, I felt the watching the first episode added to the suspense.
It's like if Needless and Trigun had a baby
>>287386173It's nothing like that.
It's like if Anon and I had a baby, and that baby got betrayed by his best friend.
The flashback is the best part.
>>287386099Kino. One of the best video game-to-anime adaptations. Enjoy.
The best character names of all time. RIP Bob Poundmaxx

>>287386099Me telling you to skip the 1st episode and you skipping the 1st episode like I told you.
>>287386099Hah and then hmmm and then huh?
You can skip episode one if you want. People don't say this because of spoiler reasons, they say this because it literally replays in its entirety in its correct chronological sequence later on, so you have the same episode twice in a 24 episode anime.
>>287388629>>287387382>>287386140Anyone telling you skip episode 1 is monumental retard and probably fucking inbred. You're meant to watch it, then when it circles back you know the context. This is asinine. I don't know what brain rotted fuck knuckles started this retarded meme but they're all cunts
>>287388668Shut up nerd lmao
>>287388629No, people say it for spoiler reasons. I watched this with zero context, never having played the game and never having seen the "skip episode one" meme. I knew exactly what was going to happen, and when it finally did, I didn't say, "Damn, that was a crazy turn," I said, "Damn, it's about time." There's no reason to spoil what is arguably the most dramatic moment in the entire show.
>>287388695Damn, you sound like you know better than the director. They should have hired you!
>>287388710Hey retard, Madhouse produced the show on a shoestring budget and used a later episode with higher production value as the first episode to cut costs and give a false expectation. It wasn't done for "much superior Nippon storytelling folded wan mirrion times".
>>287386099A very strong 7/10.
>>287388710yeah they really should have
>>287388730You continue to impress!
>>287388904Just go back to plebbit, anon. They appreciate your pseudo-intellectual grandstanding and fallacious non-arguments more over there.
>>287386099Good Ness
>>287388924
>>287388695>No, people say it for spoiler reasons.Spoilers? Of the stuff that's not a secret because this is based on a video game were half the anime is described in a few paragraphs in the instruction manual. You're an idiot.
>>287386099Play the first Gungrave game and then watch the anime. It adds a lot of context to things that would go over your head later.
>>287386099Really enjoyable watch all around, I think. The full shift into the sci-fi/game aspects later on are weaker than the earlier drama but the ending's nice. Has what may very well be my favorite ED ever.
should i play the game on normal or hard? just played the first level and it felt very easy
>>287386099A Yakuza story that goes off the rails.
>>287388730 Shoestring budget cope is wild when the non-linear framing is literally the whole point. They open with the graveyard and the “man who sold the world” vibes to set the tone, then spend 15 episodes making you dread the inevitable. It’s called dramatic irony, not “madhouse was broke so they shuffled the timeline” lmao.If it was just cost-cutting they wouldn’t have structured the entire middle arc around slowly aligning with episode 1 shot-for-shot. You’re acting like they accidentally tripped into thematic cohesion.
>>287388668>You're meant to watch itNo you're not, retard. The only reason they made it is because most of the show doesn't resemble the video game at all.OP, episode 1 is repeated later on, I think it's episode 17 and it's the same damn episode. Literally no reason to watch episode 1 unless you want the story to eb spoiled.
