For audiences, the first impression of the animation is crucial. The more shocking the first episode is, the more impressive it is to catch the audience's eye and keep following.
Recently, the Japanese media published a list of "animes that are too shocked that made you speechless". Today I am going to talk about it.
Top. 5 Tokyo Ghoul
The story was really a shock to lots of people. The miserable male protagonist went out on a date, but accidentally became a ghoul who had to eat human flesh to live. From then on, he is away from the calm daily world, entering the strange world hidden under the surface.
Top. 4 Mr. Osomatsu
The anime is the earliest work of the Showa era. It has been animated twice in 1966 and 1988.
When it was animated again in 2015, the characters of the anime satire that such an old anime will still be popular? As a result, in order to cater to the new era, Osomatsu and others made a big rectification in the first episode. For example, the original six Matsuno brothers were like this:
But in the first episode, they all transformed into the idol six --
And accidentally play out the boy's love plot - -
As a result, the plot is too exciting, and the heroine was so excited that she died on the spot. The six Matsuno brothers are thinking internally - -
Top. 3 Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
The first episode of the story is complete quite good. The life of Tanjiro is set well from the beginning. In the first eight minutes of the first episode, Tanjiro ushered in the fate of the family, and then he took his sister on the road of treatment and revenge.
But in all fairness, its first episode can only be considered good. The most shocking episode that can really be considered a masterpiece is the 19th episode "Mount Natagumo Arc", when fighting with the demon Rui, who holds the position of Lower Rank Five. Tanjiro ultimately failed to kill him, but that episode is really hot!
Top. 2 Ga-Rei
The anime is really some years. It was quite hot when it was aired, and the reason for its hot is to be attributed to the first episode - the first episode is too reversed.
Original the first episode there are a few people who showed up who are brave and clever, with a tragic life, and they even kill a boss with a joint effort. All these settings seem like protagonists in general anime. However, all these people were killed at the end of the first episode by the true heroine Isayama Yomi easily. At the time audiences were confused - -What is going on?
The first episode successfully catches the audience's eye, and then it tells the real story from the second episode. The production team is really doing a good job!
Top. 1 Attack on Titan
I still remember the incredible feeling when I watched the first episode of Attack on Titan. The mother was swallowed alive by a titan. The mother asked Eren to run. Eren ran away. He covered his mouth and try to ask for help. The portrayal of human nature is too realistic. The first episode set the tone for the story later.
***HEAVY SPOILER ALERT***
The first episode is very shocking, but the sense of shock in the later plot does not reduce at all. As the plot goes ahead, the story brings us more novel shocks, such as the plot reveal in the later episode that the titan who ate the mother is actually Eren's father's ex-wife; Eren's father ate the royal family inside the wall, and the father who ate the royal family was finally eaten by Eren.
***END***
But it may be that the shocks shown later are too much, and the author does not know how to end the story so that it can surpass the existing shock. As the result, a supper shocking ending comes out, though it is too disgusting. I feel pity for the ending.
Well, let's stop the topic right here. Which anime did you think has the first episode that is too shocked that made you speechless?
