Which anime do you think has the most gripping first episode?
The first episode of an anime is crucial; it needs to capture the audience's heart in a short amount of time. Having watched anime for so many years, I think the first episodes of the following series are truly god-tier at hooking viewers:
1. Attack on Titan — The very first scene with the Colossal Titan breaking the wall is shocking.
2. Puella Magi Madoka Magica — Seems like a slice-of-life on the surface, but hides dark secrets underneath.
3. The Promised Neverland — That final plot twist hit me right in the gut.
4. Oshi no Ko — A 90-minute first episode that is high-energy from start to finish.
5. Dead Mount Death Play — Killing the protagonist right at the beginning?
