It seems Lucien dont remember what happens when he becomes Schneider. The OP and ED are a banger specially the OP being of coldrain its awesome. And visually It Is good for LIDENFILMS standards.

The opening is great, I'd have preferred some more traditional metal or hard rock but this is still fitting enough. Ending is alright, but it's a bit generic.

As for the episode, we are still going through the early chapters but despite some small hickups when it comes to the animation quality of background characters the action featuring Darsh remains consistent. That's a good sign coming from LIDEN, so I hope they keep it up.
Steel Ball Run anime when?

Another good episode, similar situation as the first episode and Dark Schneider kicked ass again. OP,ED were both pretty neat.

Yoko's dream... we can see that we are slowly rising in obscenity ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZfZ-3dYYLs )

My preference for the successful opening !

So, this is the first episode of the remake which adapts completely new material that hasn't been adapted before in the 1992 version (except for the part that showed Yoko having a nightmare and waking up to see Lucien in her bed, which was in episode 2 of the original 1992 version), so this was all new, uncharted territory to me. Enjoying this remake so far. This is classic shounen.

Nice to finally see the OP and ED of the anime too.

I hope it doesnt stay this episodic. But I will give it a chance since I can totally see a 35 yo manga starting like this
"This emotion is mine alone.
It is for Madoka alone." - Homura
or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.

HOLY SHIT THE OP IF FIRE AF!!! BLOODY POWER FAME!

Kingdom of Judas These names 😅

Dark Schneider is a total gigachad. He'll turn down the ministers' request to defend Meta llicana and casually throw insults about the Hydra tamer.

The one thing that can break him though is Yoko since he has Lucien's memories and feelings (but the opposite isn't true)

Also, Yoko's dad is really powerful, no wonder he could seal Dark Schneider away.

By the way, is Yoko named after Yoko Ono or is that a coincidence? A musician friend of mine pointed it out when I explained this series to him.

Also a top tier ED by Tielle

I don't think Yoko's name is a reference to something or at least I never heard anything about it.
Her dad's name on the other hand, Geo Noto Soto (sometimes Geo Nort Soto), is a reference to the singer Jeff Scott Soto.
Yoko's full name btw is Tiara Noto Yoko (Tiara Nort Yoko).
The Lotus flower is a symbol of men's hopes. But hope, like flowers, withers with the passing of time.

Over the top but boring to me. I do get a kick out of the heavy/hair metal spell names. Drop.

Building up to something else.

A bit more story exposition etc. Average "episode two" of an anime.

I'll keep watching, this def deserves a three-episode test minimum.

Even if it's not to your typical genre tastes. It's worth that at least.

Good moment towards the end between Dark Schneider and Yoko, but this pacing and insane back and forth on the tone is really not sitting well with me. Do they want this to be goofy or a dark fantasy? Also, the kingdom of Metallicana seems so utterly helpless without Schneider that it's a miracle they've survived this long on their own.

Banger OP and ED, but I'm really hoping the next episode balances the pacing out a bit and gives us more good scenes.

At first I thought the concept was alright and worth giving it a try, but after completing the second episode I think I will pass on this anime.

Don't get me wrong: from technical side this anime is well done. However for me, who has been listening to metal for years, hearing all this spells based on popular band's names felt awkward. I see the route taken by JJBA as better.

Oh well, I guess it's not anime for me. I'm glad that there are many people who enjoy watching it, even if I wasn't really that much impressed.

Is this just going to have a monster of the week formula, where bad guy attacks, Dark Schneider is awakened and beats him, rinse and repeat? Because if that's the case, I wouldn't mind that at all. It's super basic, but idk, that kind of adds to its appeal.

I mean nothing much to say but still getting to the plot character introduction and animations, story seems be interesting as well. And It keeps your focus till the last minute So production actually did a great job.
