| I like the mizuho vs nagara debate , mizuho is that realist oligarch that have "money is everything" mindset, and then nagara the man with nothing still believing in magic. |

| Really enjoyed the episode. Love the art style but the dialogue writing is what impressed me the most. It feels natural and shows how snarky some teenagers behave lol. Can't wait for more. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
Lnaua said: deg said: i think its getting ridiculous talk to include all of social science in here like psychology, sociology, political science and economics but ye whatever lets see if they go deeper with those since to me its basically "we live in a society" show and Nagara might be the one transported them to this Absurd World for escapism purposes against society just to let clear that: my prior post about one of your posts was kind of "like thumbs up" to it, but not a subjective start for a discussion about Sonny Boy main messages... but yeah Sonny Boys seems to imply many social and systematic discussions in it, and how we're slaves and products of the environment we live in, anyway....... ah ok and yep episode 3 at least imply that bold part a lot |
Lnaua said: deg said: ah ok and yep episode 3 at least imply that bold part a lot really hoping that ep 4 might be good too and bring us some other insights like this for a while, it's been a really nice to watch show :) agreed thats why i like original anime more because of show do not tell and fill in the blanks writing more |
| I didn't understand the point of Mizuho and Nagara's argument, it was so unnecessary. But I guess that's what makes this show realistic since in reality too people tend to argue about pointless stuff. About this world, I think it could be like an escape game. It's like they have to use their given powers to escape from there. But one thing I'm curious about is can they die there? That Hoshi is really suspicious. His smiling face really annoys me. |
ezegonz said: Don't like any of the things you said. But not much was hinted. From the get go we know that half the kids have powers and the ones who don't, hey look, we have powers too! And obviously, the bad guy who is presented from the first moment it's presented. It goes against the way the anime presents it's world. It's like the plot is digested for us but the world and how it works doesn't. Something feels off about this. I like how each power is presented to us, how we learn by how they interact with each other and the world without actually doing much exposure. Like how we got to know about Mizuho's power when the first thing we see was her living in a gigantic mansion that came out of nowhere. It's a 12 episode anime, we are in episode 3 and not a lot of things are being answered. Not even hinted to us. The series is lovely and I'm really in loved by the animation and the initial plot. But I just don't get what is going on. Everything is so messy. Btw.. next time you answer someone you can keep your opinion of the person for yourself, it has nothing to do with criticizing a series. Whoa, you actualy answered relatively calmly to the bait. Is this really the internet? Where is the fighting? the Drama?! Joking aside, it's not that messy. Just watched ep 2 and 3 back to back, and a lot of questions from ep 2 were answered on ep 3. ep 3 did finish a mess, but it seems like it's on purpose, to make us question what's going on. They'll probably explain most of it to us in the next few eps. |

| Alr so some anti-social kids just had it handed to them I guess lmao. Fine episode, wanted a little more if I am honest. |
| Definitely agree with other people, this show just keeps getting more interesting the more you watch it, and I'm also really liking Mizuho so far and her interactions with Nagara. It will also be interesting to see if Nagara really does have the power to leap into new worlds, and it will also be interesting to see who this savier is that Hoshi mentioned at the end of the episode Definitely excited to see what's next! |

| The sheer creativity is just unbelievable. It's like a much more creative(but less dramatic) version of WEP so far. I have so much respect for people that can think of these out of box concepts in everything around them, it was so fulfilling to hang out with such creative individuals |

Kafka, Dalì, and so much more. |
| So the world froze "lonely" people into their own restricted world into this one, at least they managed to save these people, Nozomi's theory about Nagara's power is really interesting, it might be true |
 |
| Well even if they solve all the rules, they are still stuck like puppies in a unkown plane of existence. idk why they even wanted those recluse back seems like they are just too insecure of letting stay there, unless it really was gonnna kill em then again that was their choice. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| So the rule of this world is to freeze the outcasts in a particular place surrounded by a black curtain. And Nagara power might be opening portals to other worlds. That would mean Nagara's and Nozomi's powers go hand in hand. This series seems like one where you understand the true meaning behind the series only after you've finished it like FLCL or Paprika. I did not understand what the fuck happened in the ending tho. |

deg said: Yeah the people who don't fit in with the rest are cast out. Capitalism mentality.Nagara can leap to worlds huh so maybe he is the culprit all along and it links to the fact that their superpowers already manifested way before they are transported to this Absurd World and that Hoshi guy can talk to God? also is this episode a critic of the Capitalism World we have in real life? the recluse did not choose this life or world but the world chooses who to exclude?  |
|
| Nagara's power is as hinted before, finding portals / leaping into new worlds. The mystery this time was pretty interesting. Also I'm liking Mizuho a lot so far and the prez on the other hand is getting more annoying. |
 |
| I have to agree that Nagara really needs a better attitude sometimes. |
 |
| E.T. Finger light ain't no A rank, its the most overpowered ability so far and deserves SSS+. Lots of critique on society so far from capitalism to seclusion of individuals. Knowing they had their powers before they went adrift and Nagara possibly having the power to leap to other worlds makes me belief for now that he's the cause. |
 |
| Nagara being the reason for their interdimensional jaunts isn't surprising, especially since the show has been hinting at it. Also, I really like Mizuho. The personality and the voice is just a really nice change of pace from the usual female characters. |
| It's so uninteresting. I'm watching it to try to sleep, because I'm bored and this anime is boring. The characters in this anime are horrible, holy shit. This Mizuho is probably the worst character. She doesn't get anything to bring to the real world in case she comes back one day, but she charges the others for things. And seriously, the characters work for this shit for nothing? That was one of the stupidest things in this anime. |
| Pretty much everything in the currently top review turned out to be accurate as far as this show's contents are concerned. It's very much a character-driven coming of age story. A fairly slow-paced one despite the whole superpower window-dressing. Personally, I wasn't all that thrilled by the realistic character design and reactions and had to drop it here. |
| Ehh I think I'm gonna drop it here. Three episodes is a fair go right. The few things I like about it (how it looks, how it's animated, a legit mystery) are just bogged down by everyone being so unlikeable. My favourite character is the suss one who seems to hear the voice of God (mostly because the perpetual Luck-from-Black-Clover face), everyone else sucks. |
| I put watching this off for a while because I was waiting for it to end so I could binge watch it |
 |
| i have to say the use of sound, even to the smallest detail in some scenes is wonderful also i already had the idea that he was creating worlds from last episode, cool concept i legitimately have zero complaints so far. captivating. |
 |
| I looked away for a few seconds and I found myself lost for the rest of the episode. This is some advanced shit lol |
| If that's Nagara's power is to be finding new worlds that's one heck of an op power .. Also this is confusing ngl :p |
| This one is about how reclusive (like the Hikikomori) people are helped so they stop being something weird to see and not because someone care about them. Points to the writer for nailed the typical teenager behaviour when they are trying to entice a desired answer (the red t-shirt guy just appearing to tell the main guy he wasn't needed despite being a lie, the cat girl questioning if the short-hair girl likes the main guy). |

| A fairly good episode, at this point it seems that the series is episodic rather than how normal mystery play out |
 |
| This show is so weird, really impressive madhouse managed something so unique in their state. Mizuho is definitely my favourite here. Everyone from the student council sucks. Pretty obvious Nagaras power is to leap to new worlds, I thought they knew and thats why he was in the portal searching team. So the currency is not fake after all, thats why they have to work? |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| What has Nagara done we haven't really seen him do much but I'm not angry because this series so far has always chosen a little time skip at the start of each episode it's the epitome of off-screen guiding and it's really enjoyable. The characters are all blunt and deadpan they don't try to hide stuff yet they have layers and are mysterious. The interactions are enjoyable people sort out there problems simply which makes sense and is realistic in this abstract story. Asakase and Nagara are growing on me even blue shirt girl isn't that bad. The world and mystery is top-notch. |
