>first episode starts with an epic and extremely well-animated battle sequence
Why they do this? Not only it's impossible to appreciate the fight itself because they gave us no reason to give a fuck about it, but they just burned a good part of the budget with a pointless scene.
because it looks cool
Some people just appreciate the craft side of things.

That's not how things work.

When you stop being a faggot and understand that a segment light on context and heavy on visual direction isn't a bad thing, you'll actually appreciate animation.

You almost got me there for a second.

also, not quite new but it has been blowing up today

It's a sell anon. If the first episode doesn't catch the audiences' interest, it's fighting a losing fight.
Additionally, some first episodes are pilot episodes, which need to demonstrate the breadth the property has to offer.

No. it's stupid as hell and just pure filler when they could have gone straight to Mob joining the BIC. If you want people to be interested then episode 2 did a much better job.
>>155452803
Your argument would make sense if Mob didn't have amazingly animated fights from beginning to end.
The opening scene is a cool anticipation of what you'll get from the series.

I don't know this show but how can a first episode be "filler" you mong.
>>155452803
I hate how that scene wasnt ever shown in later episodes
>>155452803
The ED is one of my favorite animations of all time
>>155457161
Because it is. It's just a random fight that wasn't in the manga and another fight in the tunnel that was an omake(not part of the main story).
>this first episode didn't have an intricate backstory or overarching plot therefore it was pointless
Fucking neck yourself retard you're watching anime for fucks sake.
>>155457161
I don't think you know what filler means, retard.
