Well the girl is hot but that furry mascot monster design looks awful. Would have been cool if he transformed into something more traditional looking like a werewolf or something but oh well it has blackmail plot at least which I usually like in an anime/manga.

it seemed extremely tedious some moments that I did not expect and I was shocked, the story seems to be collecting these coins that can give something and will have to fight with other monsters seems simple, but I feel that there is something behind, I hope my expectation be right.

Mixed feelings. Characters are trash. MC is a simp and the girl is a bitch. Also what is up with MC, he looks life he's gonna be registered for being a sex offender soon. Rest looks cool. The artsyle was great. Mediocre as of now but hope the series turn out better.

There were so many ways to execute this idea, yet, they chose the path which would make the anime frankly shitty.

Why would you include ecchi? Seriously? There is no need for ecchi.

Okay this was a really messy episode, perhaps they threw way too fast the "we got a mc able to transform into a fat dog mascot" but still I cannot avoid talking about HOW FUCKING HOT THOSE GIRLS ARE, especially main girl obviously, I would have love some Sawashiro Miyuki on this show seeing how sexy gals we have, god bless this is ecchi.

Though can I have a hero with actual sex drive, he was aroused and almost went on the rape route but he's still blushing like a 7 years old while being 17 to 18, normally that wouldn't annoy me but I need some actions with those girls.

Oh yeah seems average edge anime but more appealing visually so I'mma keep an eye on it.

They toned down some of the fanservice compared to the manga, but looks like a decent adaptation so far.

That was a good start honestly speaking.

I like the OP and ED it really suits in the theme of the anime.

So this was about a beta boy who can turn into mascot and saved the hot girl that he almost fuck xD
then the hot girl blackmail the beta mc and teases him like a little boy invited him to her apartment to see her nude because its summer.

Well I don't know where this is going but it looked great. Mix of horror/supernatural stuff with the transformation into a monster but also a decent amount of ecchi. Honestly I don't know if the next episodes will be highly censored in terms of violence but I hope it won't. The synopsis and my first impressions tend to let me think the show could become bloody and pretty mature but these are just hypothesis from now.

Wait & See !

Well, to be honest my expectations for this anime was really high. I don't feel that the story has been explained until now, but still it didn't betray expectations. This episode felt more of a prologue. So, desperately waiting for next episode.

Was really not expecting much when i chose to watch this, I was certainly pleasantly surprised upon enjoying the show. Creepy aesthetic and honestly some great music so far, the premise is definitely strange and not something I'd normally go for with the look of his "monster" form and also the fan service from the start. Liking the pace and the overall fresh/different feel. Gonna keep watching and hoping it keeps me as engaged!

Having read some of the Manga - the Fanservice has already been turned down in the Anime.

if adaptation is true to the Manga it could breach Funimations "acceptable standards policy".

Wonder how much they'll change/cut.

It's either the animation could have been done better, or I generally dislike this kind of sketchy art style. The running animation of Shuuichi in his monster form is really slow and rough, I ain't liking it.

Really good production values, great animation, and awesome music. Plot seems interesting, though I hope it won't become a generic death game thing. Don't like gratuitous fan service but eh, it's an ecchi show so what else is there to expect? Female lead seems cool, male lead is meh.

4/5 pretty nice, will give it the typical 3 episode treatment.

You just don't like the style then, because there was nothing wrong with the animation in this episode. In fact, it's actually the opposite. This was arguably the most well-animated episode of the season so far.

Better than I had expected. Ugly visual of the monster (stuffed animal) was the one thing I did not like then I found out about this show. Description seemed "okay".

Now after episode 1 I can say: I like the girl. (She made me horny.) Like her personality and she is sexy. If they keep this up with her being "dominant" towards the boy ... I might enjoy the anime.

Also there is room for background. (We don't really know why the girl wanted to kill herself and about her relationship with the monsters ... she seeme dto know stuff. Also how did the boy get his abilities?)

I hate the wimpy protagonist and the way he gets bossed around by those around him as well as that girl.
That and the uninteresting fan-service mean that this anime was not impressive.
However my impression of the quality of this anime is not relevant. As much as I seriously disliked some of the aspects of the first episode, I will continue to watch since the idea of people that turn into monstrous beings is interesting. The pacing and soundtrack I noticed were quite good. I enjoyed the first episode more than I disliked it. Though I do hope it improves further on

Love it, especially the colors and the art style. I def want a plush monster doll, it's so cute! MC is kinda weak though so I hope they keep up the ecchi to make it fun - the whole thing with the smell was pretty interesting.

Really good character designs and animations, still getting a feel for the plot, just hope it doesn't descend to the usual death game cause literally no one knows how to do that right.

"Well animated.. Decent adaptation.. Edgy.. Annoying character.. Absurd ecchi.. Illogical.. Unnecessary ecchi..".. Well, no problem, i'm still enjoying it...

This anime reminds me of mirai nikki or btooom!, i hope this one is better than those...

MC is pathetic? Yes.. Pathetic MC is the most usual things for an ecchi anime, ngl...

Found it absurd in the fire scene, but, oh well.. At least it covered by Kurea's... ...

Well, that was the opinion for the 1st episode.. Hope the next episode will be better than now...

btw, Kurea's face have freckles, kinda like it...

For anyone who cares - the person who appears on the balcony after the coin...

Is searching for coins under the bridge, then sees her show him the coin and follows them....

In the translated manga I found she accuses him of attempting to rape her when they're talking on the roof not "violating", there are a few other subtle changes even in ep.1.

If it follows what I've read so far I suspect funimation will be censoring this and rewording some dialogue.

Is there something significant about claire's smell that seems to attract him so much. There are other girls has interested in...

I don't like this weird middle ground the narrative starts off with. We don't get to see MC before he gets his powers, but its also early enough in his own understanding of his powers where he doesn't exactly know what is happening to him and why its happening to him in the first place. The narrative opens in this strange, unnatural way of storytelling.
i was intrigued by the ridiculous monster design from the promotional art but MC is far too annoying and I'm not sure if I will continue this much longer. Might give one or two more episodes a try.
I really liked the music though

That was really cringy. Everything looks so lame, illogical and poorly done. Seems like they only wanted to show us some pants, tits and edginess without worrying about any consistence.
One example: fire episode.
That's how you save someone from the fire. You walk in VERY SLOWLY. SLOWLY inspect the person. Just stand there and leisurely think about this and that. Think about some philosophical questions as well. When you've done, SLOWLY take the person from the blazing building. And then just leave her on the ground close to the fire, without checking her condition or calling an ambulance or just taking her away, and peacefully leave, letting her suffocate in smoke or burn in spreading fire.
Even if it is positioning itself as ecchi, the level of imbecility is unreasonable.
Well, ecchi-tards won't even notice anything wrong as their only goal is drooling over some panty shots and tit bulging
you have sure earned my respect lmao

Good adaptation.. keep going in this way, please!
I like the plot, I don't really like the start of Gleipnir, but the best character is yet to come..

*for the people who wonder why he broke the wall to save Aoki: the entrance was engulfed in flames and only he thanks to his power could pass from there.
