Pumpkin Scissors - 01 October 3

Filed under First Impressions, Series Introduction by Omni | 46 comments

OP Sequence

OP: 「蒼き炎」 (Aoki Flamme) by 高橋洋子 (Takahashi Youko)

ED Sequence

ED: 「マーキャリー☆GO」 (Mercury☆GO) by ステッキンと愉快な仲間たち (Stekkin & Yukai na Nakama-tachi)
I haven’t heard a Takahashi Youko song since Shakugan no Shana ended. Her music always sounds so exciting and this OP has quite a punch to it. The dog running ending reminded me a little of Wolf’s Rain’s ED, but just a little. Otherwise the ED was just cute.

-The blue lantern reminds me of The Green Lantern… Seriously though, that action sequence with Orlando vs. the tank was pretty cool.
-Gonzo did a superb job on the animation for the first episode. Didn’t really care for the CG parts, but everything else was fantastic.

    *lol*

    At 4am in the morning. Oh my, Omni, enjoy your well-deserved sleep!

    As for Pumpkin Scissors: The first ep was really good. This show deserves some tender loving care…

    I really hope GONZO does not jump the shark with this series. :) Military-based anime have been lacking recently.

    No. Mecha does not count.

  3. sasayins at 5:31 am on October 3rd, 2006

    nice anime, nice cg :D

  4. Psychotic EwA at 5:33 am on October 3rd, 2006

    From the screencaps….its look awesome :D

  5. zaira at 5:35 am on October 3rd, 2006

    wow! yeah i almost forgot that its takahashi youko did the op of this anime + the ed of SNS very promising!
    as for the anime, nice quality! very sharp and clear! most of all the cute doggy XD
    well as for a change this will be a nice anime of some military -based anime.

    Pumpkin Scissors was just upgraded from “maybe I’ll watch this” to “definitely” :D

    Postwar recovery (which was what made me originally curious about this series) + interesting main characters (nearly laughed out loud when the girl drew her sword and quoted RK-Hajime Saitou (”Aku Soku Zan”) - also getting some Kenshin vibes from the protagonist). Besides, its firefight was a nice change from the usual “firing accuarately 2 pistols/SMG while making backflips” - Black Lagoon is nice and all, but sometimes its nice to see something different :D

    zaira: So its the same singer as SNS ed? No wonder it kinda sounded familiar

    Yet another pointless post. Even for a “First Impression” it doesnt say anything at all…

  8. insi at 6:36 am on October 3rd, 2006

    looks way more interesting than the other two imho :D

  9. S at 6:38 am on October 3rd, 2006

    Thanks for summarizing the first eps!
    Pumpkin scissors look awesome and interesting!

  10. drg at 6:40 am on October 3rd, 2006

    Karnot, thats b/c it WAS 5am!!! And plus Omni will hopefully give us the summary later. Just be paitent.

    Any how, looks cool cant wait for a group to sub it

  11. dward at 6:43 am on October 3rd, 2006

    Whoa~I didn’t expect the “Door Knocker” to be used in the first ep. Now I’m definitely watching this. Now….the blue lantern does make enemies shiver….

  12. sinistral at 7:20 am on October 3rd, 2006

    Looks great.

  13. Chavenz at 7:27 am on October 3rd, 2006

    as expected from Gonzo. great animation.

  14. qin at 7:57 am on October 3rd, 2006

    Karnot this “pointless post” is better than your worthless comment. if you’ve been here for a while you’d realize most summaries come later.

  15. Haohmaru at 7:59 am on October 3rd, 2006

    I must be the only one not liking this. I thought the art was ugly. The animation was good but the character designs aren’t. This is nothing special IMO. Just your average anime.

  16. Jo at 8:01 am on October 3rd, 2006

    hahaha… get a rest man.. so far none of the caps catch my eye.. so no comment yet.. mmaybe i have to see the esp

  17. Aesir at 8:23 am on October 3rd, 2006

  18. scootarski at 9:18 am on October 3rd, 2006

    omni, keep blogging this one it looks awesome, and if no one subs it,s ince i don’t speak japanese i got no other way to really follow it.

  19. Mentar at 9:38 am on October 3rd, 2006

    It shall be subbed.

  20. bananabanana at 10:05 am on October 3rd, 2006

    If you are going to blog any of the series from the first two days of the season,
    this one seems to have the most potential so far.
