ED: 「マーキャリー☆GO」 (Mercury☆GO) by ステッキンと愉快な仲間たち (Stekkin & Yukai na Nakama-tachi)
I haven’t heard a Takahashi Youko song since Shakugan no Shana ended. Her music always sounds so exciting and this OP has quite a punch to it. The dog running ending reminded me a little of Wolf’s Rain’s ED, but just a little. Otherwise the ED was just cute.
-The blue lantern reminds me of The Green Lantern… Seriously though, that action sequence with Orlando vs. the tank was pretty cool.
-Gonzo did a superb job on the animation for the first episode. Didn’t really care for the CG parts, but everything else was fantastic.

*lol*
At 4am in the morning. Oh my, Omni, enjoy your well-deserved sleep!
As for Pumpkin Scissors: The first ep was really good. This show deserves some tender loving care…
I really hope GONZO does not jump the shark with this series. 🙂 Military-based anime have been lacking recently.
No. Mecha does not count.
nice anime, nice cg 😀
From the screencaps….its look awesome 😀
wow! yeah i almost forgot that its takahashi youko did the op of this anime + the ed of SNS very promising!
as for the anime, nice quality! very sharp and clear! most of all the cute doggy XD
well as for a change this will be a nice anime of some military -based anime.
Pumpkin Scissors was just upgraded from “maybe I’ll watch this” to “definitely” 😀
Postwar recovery (which was what made me originally curious about this series) + interesting main characters (nearly laughed out loud when the girl drew her sword and quoted RK-Hajime Saitou (“Aku Soku Zan”) – also getting some Kenshin vibes from the protagonist). Besides, its firefight was a nice change from the usual “firing accuarately 2 pistols/SMG while making backflips” – Black Lagoon is nice and all, but sometimes its nice to see something different 😀
zaira: So its the same singer as SNS ed? No wonder it kinda sounded familiar
Yet another pointless post. Even for a “First Impression” it doesnt say anything at all…
looks way more interesting than the other two imho 😀
Thanks for summarizing the first eps!
Pumpkin scissors look awesome and interesting!
Karnot, thats b/c it WAS 5am!!! And plus Omni will hopefully give us the summary later. Just be paitent.
Any how, looks cool cant wait for a group to sub it
Whoa~I didn’t expect the “Door Knocker” to be used in the first ep. Now I’m definitely watching this. Now….the blue lantern does make enemies shiver….
Looks great.
as expected from Gonzo. great animation.
Karnot this “pointless post” is better than your worthless comment. if you’ve been here for a while you’d realize most summaries come later.
I must be the only one not liking this. I thought the art was ugly. The animation was good but the character designs aren’t. This is nothing special IMO. Just your average anime.
hahaha… get a rest man.. so far none of the caps catch my eye.. so no comment yet.. mmaybe i have to see the esp
looks pretty interesting… warrants a view b4 i pass judgement tho
omni, keep blogging this one it looks awesome, and if no one subs it,s ince i don’t speak japanese i got no other way to really follow it.
It shall be subbed.
If you are going to blog any of the series from the first two days of the season,
this one seems to have the most potential so far.
This looks interesting to me; the trailer really piqued my curiousity, and the screenshots help, too. The character designs bring to mind FMA … though the outfits make me think of Last Exile. Thanks for posting on it! ^^
my only hope for this is that they dont have the same military as GSD….
otherwise looks interesting might need a couple episodes tho
What’s up with the first pic. It’s like that guy goes into SEED-mode and looks like a zombie/crazy dude.
Looks interesting, somehow I’m getting FMA (must be Alice cus she looks like Winry) and Kenshin (note the main character w/ scar on his face) vibes from this show. Still, looks like this one has potential.
P.S. take care of yourself Omni; don’t push yourself too hard 🙂
This seems way better than what I first thought, keep the good work GONZO!
I sure do hope you’ll continue blogging this one, it looks awesome.
im a bit confused is blonde a guy or girl ????
So what exactly is the story here?
Please blog this series!
I do hope it’s as interesting as it appears from the screencaps. 🙂
Looks good I’m gonna keep my eye on this one
The story, from what I guess, Show Spoiler ▼
@gil/mangaka-chan
actually, I think his second personality (apparently triggered by activating that blue lamp) is kinda like Kenshin’s Battousai personality – no qualms about killing, no feelings, extreme resistance to pain, enhanced combat ability, etc.
Definetly has my attention. I thought it might be intresting when I saw the preview for it, but now it’s definetly on my watch list. Though I do have to say, Gonzo’s cg still isn’t all that great to me, but I can get over it. Also, I love the coats. Here’s to a show with a lot of potential!
Thanks Gloranor I’ll give it a couple of episodes
I like Alice’s character design, but this anime doesn’t look that interesting to me.
[quote]It shall be subbed[/quote]
That it shall. And it shall be watched.
It is subbed.
So far, so good. But its hard to tell If I’ll like it based on this one episode. But I’m leaning towards the “I like it side”. Is it me, or does this look better than Gonzo’s NHK effort.
Subbed by Eclipse I see, after its stint with Shakugan no Shana.
I’m still apprehensive about the series because this surreal WWI world and a seemingly lack of focus and general intrigue just doesn’t really grab my attention.
I give gonzo kudos for its better than average animation though.
I’m waiting for a little synopse… I don’t know about the story but I like the chara des… ^_^
Looks like a show with some potential. Had plenty of funny moments, likable characters, and some good action. Should be fun to see where this show goes.
Juz finished watching the sub!
Pls cont to blog it. Great series!
Mmm…the first episode was interesting. Very clean cut animation, and the main female character is quite likeable(at least she seems to have a brain), I think I might add this to my ‘to watch’ list.
It is a great show, i just watched it. Orland vs tank is really cool. He is an anti-tankers trooper. Nice plot to start the 1st episode…..i await their second..
Pls blog it:)
Glad I downloaded this series then. I was curiouse when I saw the preview considering the guys two different personalities. Thanks for the info!
hope you decided to blog this one 😉 thanks for all your work!
i just watched this episode and i’m impressed. don’t know how this got under my radar when i was scouting around for new animes this season. Love that Labrador! *kawaii!*
