    Can't believe this get a remake

    I 1st saw this when I was an elementary kid, got a peek from my brother collection. After that i was into magic and myth. Too bad they didn't have detail descriptions of the monsters and spells in the animate. That would be so awesome. Thx Netflix for bringing back Spriggan too. The story is very original to the comic, except the nudity. If it is 18+, I think they should have it. The fight scene wasn't the best nowsaday, still very behind from demon slayer and Sword Art Online is better. For me i can't stop watching it after the 3rd episode. If they can finish it till the end, it certainly make my bucket list. The last episode is as good as the comic. Again, thx Netflix.

    So....

    I can see why a lot of people may not like this, As a women I love it, I love the violence, the humor, the new style animation but still has that 80s look, which is unique, I definitely like...um the sexual themes in this show too, it's kind of refreshing to have a masculine MC.. anyways not for everyone but I enjoyed it a lot! Definitely don't watch it for it's story, I love the music, the action the gore, it's just a good sit back and watch Anime!

    Must watch

    I enjoyed this anime can't wait for season two. Love how the woman are just as strong as the men. I know some would say it's a lot of sexual misconduct, but I still enjoy the show. All the emotions that comes with it too.

    As long as you know, you can enjoy

    Don't think this is a spoilers since you can see it in the trailer, so I think I'm just giving a heads up.

    You learn pretty quickly (episode 1 if you've got a better trained eye than me lol, but for me episode 2 really). So as long as you know that it's basically a p*rno/h*ntai but on Netflix so major ecchi lol, you can make fun of it and just relax as it is dumb in ways, but it's entertaining enough for the time to pass. Honestly, the people making this must've had a lot of fun cause he acts so dumb, but the moments he causes, while equally so, have hilarious moments.

    Nice Netflix ! Thank's

    I found this anime awesome! Unbelievable ! Gigantic! Everyone talks about nudity, maybe for minors it's disturbing. But I know that for my boyfriend and I, as an adult, we really liked this anime! We are impatiently waiting for the sequel, can't wait for it to come out! Congratulations anyway.
