Should I skip the first episode?

You should skip the first 26 episodes

Yes, it spoils the series for no reason.

Maybe

Yes. It is only to show people the future, and gives a spoiler for no reason. It doesnt matter to much though.

Yes

it's generally advised as such, like smoking can cause cancer

No, you should play the game

are you guys serious ? Not op here, but why would they spoil everything in the first episode then ?

Because the anime is an adaptation of the video game so the only thing getting spoiled is shit that made for about a paragraph in the games prologue.

The origin shit is all filler

>The origin shit is all filler
Is also the only part worth of watching.

Should I play the game before watching the anime?

You could, but you don't have to, anime is a prequel.

Gungrave is an example of filler done right.

Yes.

It spoils the anime pretty badly since some of the biggest scenes are 1 for 1 in the videogame.

Gungrave is ok, the first 17 or so episodes are pretty good, and then it goes downhill from there but the ending redeems all the sci fi crap, but there are some good moments inbetween the sci fi sections.

When should I go back and watch Episode 1?

Don't bother. Episode one is almost exactly the same as episode 17 and 18.

Play the vidya first

So after 18 then, thanks. I'm a completionist.

Except it was completely fucking boring.
