Code: Breaker Episode 1
Not bad. I can't say it was an incredible opener, but it was alright. I wasn't really feeling the first fifteen minutes, largely because I don't think that there are any teenagers that would ever gossip in such a ridiculous fashion. It's played up a bit for the sake of humour, but I can say with a degree of certainty the reaction from the girls when Ogami introduces himself to the class is vaguely robotic (for lack of a better word) in their choice of words. That all out of the way, they blow through the mundane school antics pretty quickly. I think my enjoyment of the show went up drastically as soon as things came to blows with those G-Falcon gangsters. And then to fire. Because, gosh, that is some pretty fire.
I'm not sure what to think about it besides that, though. While I'm not sold on the character art yet; just going by the last few minutes of the episode, it's clear that the production values are very, very solid. The effects animation in particular is just superb.
I'm not sure what's going on here, but between that fight sequence, and the cliffhanger that the episode ends on (which is, of course, soundly ruined by the opening), I think I'm on board for a couple more episodes.
As an aside, Sakura Sakurakoji is pretty much the most ridiculous name I've heard from an anime in a long time, and I'm watching JoJo right now.
