Original Title: June 3, 2016 The first episode is arguably the most important in a series' run. It's what hooks you into episode two--what keeps you coming back for more. As crucial as they are to a show's success, first episodes can work in a variety of ways from the more standard intro to a high-octane thriller. Today, under the scope, MrNiesGuy and I give you 10 of our favorite first episodes in anime. Enjoy!

Enjoy!
