| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Fripside :3 Well nice OP song. And that really escalated quickly in the beginning. OST is pretty decent on most parts and sticks with the premise well. Still, Kagetane gives me the creeps.. The transformation scenes were more disgusting though. Enju is a bit close to the MC tbh but I like Kisara better so far. The first episode sets up a lot of things so it felt fast. We'll see how far it develops. But seriously, that virus... |
 |
| Fripside is strong in this one :3 |
| let me warn you all readers in advance (i have read the summaries of the following LN): this is not a happy go little children show. people die when they are killed, and really fast. also, get ready on the feels train. it gets really dark soon, so dont get fooled by the first episode. there will be despair. only thing we have to worry about is the amount of censoring, which will come (or not) EDIT: the manga should cover to around anime episode 4-5 [chapter 15 translated] with a massive cliffhanger, but you might give it a try. there might some scene differences since the manga added few additional scenes. |

| This was a really interesting start, looking forward for more! Hope it won't become like some generic LN show. How did the main character not even mention the masked man to anyone though. That's really, really out of place and weird. Interactions between main character and the loli reminds me of Raishin and Yaya from Unbreakable Machine Doll. "If you don't want to die, then survive!" |

| Rushed and very mediocre. |
 |
| There are guns, violence, monsters, and a loli. On top of that, Nagi does the ED and fripSide the OP. I did not expect that much from this series, but damn. I'm sold. Looking forward to see more from this series. Unfortunately, I did not read the LN so I have no clue how well they adapted. Urek said: That makes this series a lot more interesting. Jokes aside, I expect more out of this series now after reading your reply.people die when they are killed |

| OP song is a bit different because it has the choir part. The huge bug is the enemy that can make humans be part of them later, and only black bullets works. The main guy's little partner, a part of "Cursed Children", is too passionate towards him. That BGM from the first PV... ED is ok so far since it's not clear from the conversation overhead. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| One thing i don't like in this show is Kisara don't have any battle so far! |
 |
| ^ she will have her first battle in the second arc, which is later still hoping it is 2 cours, otherwise it would be rushed as hell >_> also the anime cut out tons of the comedy which was originally in the manga/LN... oh well... for missing jokes, click on spoiler |

| Hey, Rentarou. You forgot to report the most important thing to the president. It was about the masked man, the masked man and the masked man. Was it something like joke? Anyway, I enjoyed it well. Diction of Enju is only one thing I dislike. Using "Warawa" (I) isn't cool nowadays. |

| fripSide for the OP and Nagi Yanagi for the ED… That already makes this one of my favorite series from this season. On a more serious note, this episode was pretty good. The action and OST are nice so far, and Enju is really cute. |
| Been waiting for this anime for some time now and the first episode was very good. Defiantly gonna start reading the manga. The opening song kinda reminds me of the Attack on Titan theme, the ending song is pretty cool as well. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| That was a pretty awesome beginning. Outlined what's going on and everything. And they really nailed it with Enju, shes even more awesome in the anime. |
| "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players" Shakespeare. |
| Hm not sure yet. Feels like some kind of Guilty Crown. Looking forward to how this show is going to develop. |

| oh yeah the OP song is really nice! that borderline loli is not is atleast funny. that random kiss made me laugh :D pretty good beginning episode. we know what gastrea is and what is happened in the past and what is going on in the present. i dont think he forgot to report about the masked man. i guess it was intentional cause he was the only one who saw him and and who would belive him? the cops didnt look like they did (jumping out of the windows 4 floors down) i liked it. |
| Not bad for 1st episode except that the Enju kid is annoying. They batter not give her too much screen time. |
| So far I'm not impressed. It's pretty much the usual trite fantasy stuff with some supposedly grand and ambitious setting but gets bogged down by inane comedy bits and awkwardly inserted exposition. Even the action scenes didn't look as polished as the PVs suggested as they are neither particularly dynamic nor do they contain interestng fight choreography. The colour filters used for them don't add anything except making them look slightly smeary. Even the OP looks uninspired combined with unremarkable J-Pop. Btw, am I the only one who thought that "If you do not want to die, survive!", the first coherent sentence uttered in this show by a dramatic voice from offstage, was absolutely hilarious? The masked villain wasn't much better in this regard. With this kind of writing I have very little hope for the rest of the series no matter how much blood is spilled and how many people turn into monstrous creatures. |
 |
| This is good for a first episode. Sucks for the girls who have inherited the virus. Looking forward to watching the next episode. |
 |
| It doesn't have the same thrill as when I read the manga... There's just something off which I can't explain. But still, a pretty alright episode with some terminologies explained. Will expect more since its OP and ED are impressive, even though I can't really hear the ED well >.> |
- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
Eudaimonia said: blah blah blah Just spare us the b!tching please, quit anime and go watch TV instead. |
 |
| Pervert flat girl lol FLAT IS JUSTICE |
| And another loli main character with a silly personality. |
 |
| Whoa dat Gastrea looked like Galvantula Masked Man is behind the Gastrea ???? |
| Sweet mother of god!! Enju is absolutely adorable. Love the clingy lolis =P |
 |
| Well, the first episode left a good impression. The fight was exciting and the plot looks promising. |
 |
| MC managed to dodge "tsundere fist of comedy". If he can do that till the end of episode 3 I might actually finish watching this |

| Nice 1st ep, i liked it alot. Hopefully it improves as it goes. |
| endnote: death to anyone who say enju's annoying >:l she's adorable ttm |

| Hard to say if it will get good but do like Enju and Rentaro they're really hilarious. Animation have to say is pretty cool too. |
skyruen said: Not bad for 1st episode except that the Enju kid is annoying. They batter not give her too much screen time. Agreed. |
 |
| Not bad. Kinda had SnK vibes at the end with how humans have surrounded themselves with "Walls" (well technically) to prevent the invasion of those Gastrea. Quite some good amount of gore there. Interesting knowledge about the Cursed children, poor kids. Seems like we'll be having lots of loli's here :P The characters aren't bad either. Rentaro seems like a slightly above average MC. Enju isn't as annoying as I thought she'd be. She's quite a cute loli. I'm sure she's had quite the difficult childhood. Loving the masked dude. Koyama seems to be having fun with him XD He seems BA! Dat head twist XD And Kisara is looking really cute and quite hot too. Quite the BA she seems already as well. Loving her already. Lol'd at her "Most importantly why didn't u tell me about the sales" XDXDXD Seems like she's ill though with needing Hemodialysis and stuff. Hope nothing bad happens to her. |

| Well balanced first episode, this show has a lot of potential. Animation and action was fairly good and the characters like-able. The only downside was the story was not very good but its only the first episode. Enju was the best character |
| That masked man in the red coat reminded me of Night Baron from Detective Conan. |
| Not a bad episode and for now it seems like it won't be a let down. I feel bad for the Cursed Children, hopefully there is a cure for the Gastrea virus. That masked man has got skills. Shoots a gun while not looking at Rentaro or the other armed guys. |
 |
| Alright so far. The op sounded really good. |
| Been looking forward to this for a while now and it lived up to my expectations! Putting up a wall to stop the giant things getting in... does sound pretty familiar to another anime? |
| "Even if we lose by 100 points, there's still a chance a meteor will strike the other team's bench in the last second" - Kuroko Tetsuya |
| I thought it'd be pretty awful with all the loli, but at least they gave a good reason for why they're powerful. Not bad actually, and I like the main character. Will have to watch a bit more to decide though. |
 |
| Stupid Rentarou for not accepting Enju-tan. How can someone reject such a cute being? |
 |
| "If you don't wish to die, survive"...ehm, yes, I won't comment on that. Episode was ok, but neither good nor bad, just ok. MC seems fine, but his initiator, Enju, is exactly the type of character I hate. I don't mind loli as long as they at least act semi-normally. This one is not of that kind. Acting all cutesy and sweet and being worried over stupidities while fighting creatures that kill humans is exactly what I can't stand. OP was great. I'll give it a try. Enju might make this painful though. |

| It was a decent first ep, like a few people here something felt a little off watching it though. It might have just felt like they were trying to cram in a whole bunch of backstory quickly into this episode to give an idea what the characters and environment is like. |
| Animation was really well done, and I'm expecting more of it. Certainly something to look forward too. Also lol, when I read the manga I thought the MC and the president were siblings. Guess I was wrong. |
| Whelp that was really average. They just had to put in the lolis >.>. Viral parasites reminds me of Resident Evil and Half Life for some reason o_o. |
Ulquiorra1923 said: Stupid Rentarou for not accepting Enju-tan. How can someone reject such a cute being? Uhm because she's 10 years old. |
| ah why does a loli need to act like bitches >.> lets see how its goes from here.. |
 |
| Amazing first Epsiode. The Animation was fantastic, The Gastrea and that masked dude are quiet an interesting villian roles looking forward to more. A tsundere Loli lol why am not suprised still loved her reactions and that random kiss woot didnt see that to just show up. the otehr characters look interesting too. the opening was fantastic best one i have heard yet and if somebody else is going to say there were better releases dont ok its my opinion so respect it ok. Looking forward for more episodes hope its 2 cour. |
