I freakin love Ga-Rei Zero. Every episode something interesting happens. And then Kagura & Yomi are awesome main characters. Including the Kagura x Yomi fanservice

aurabolt, I totally know that feeling, she is damn delicious. I think its that playfulness that gets me.

Yeah, I prefer the recent episodes (3 ~ 6). I’ve been fawning over Yomi lately.

The story makes me squirm, but I do recognize its important. My concern now is whether Gai-Rei Zero is going to prioritize story or character. Of course, I’m hoping for the latter.

If the story takes over, that’s fine. I can still give this show a 7/10, which equates to “good, but not satisfying.”

If it revolves around Kagura and Yomi while merely using the story as a (relationship) plot catalyst, I can raise it to a 8/10.

Back to my busy life then… brlbrlblrblr lrblrb rlbrlbrb rl

@aurabolt… みつけた！ slice-of-life, that’s a damn good idea. Technically, it feels a lot like that for episodes 3-6, but we are all acknowledging that some sort of strong plot will surface as it approaches. Honestly, I’m just glad it’s not as jumbled as the Tenjo Tenge anime.

I really enjoy the characters, and for slice-of-life that’s what counts [that or the setting].

The show I watched after clicking on a gif of the Pocky kiss scene… *cough*

I’m half-and-half on it. I like it in general, but all supernatural action is retarded. Anyone who enjoys it for that is either a kid, hasn’t watched anime long enough, or needs to get his/her head checked.

Gai-Rei Zero isn’t horribly generic like say… Yozakura Quartet (out of shows from this season) … so I can take it seriously to “some” degree.

So what I’m trying to say… turn Gai-Rei Zero into slice-of-life, and I’m sold.

washi, the first two episodes were weak because of the flow … they should have kept it in order for better effect. if you get the urge to re-test the water definitely start from episode 3.

I only watched the first episode but I thought it was absoloutely atrocious. Periodically axing the cast doesn’t make up for shoddy writing and cliched characters. If it was the ONLY thing on my “to watch” list then I might’ve considered watching more :p

Michael, I’m not sure who is doing it aside from Aero. :/
edit: Oh, I remember now, AniYoshi is subbing it as well, they seem solid.

I don’t know what sub group to pick up with this series. I just download smi’s subs. Can anyone recommend other sub groups who also are doing this?

@blissmo, “likely” or “there’s a chance” I’m guessing the tail end of the series will permit more, but I think the violent point was a turn for the story, and sadly it was presented at the beginning. It really depends on how long the flashback goes for, and the overall series length. (I guess 13 episodes).
