| What do you call a reverse-lolicon? |
| Best loli ever. |
| Enjoyed it more than expected given my expectations for this show wasn't that high. |

| This isn't my favorite anime of the season so far, but that doesn't mean that it was bad or not original. The characters just need to grow on me a little more. There scene when that guy turned into that spider thing, DAYUM. Also the cursed children are lolis but the oldest ones would only be 10-11 years old in the timeline of the story so it makes sense. It's just another riffle saying, yeah humanity is screwed |

I don't like Enju as loli though, even if all the Cursed Children are born female it doesn't mean they have to look like they're 12. It would give the anime a bit of a kick or make it more serious if they made Rentaro's parter at least a proper teenager, idk, it just feels a little silly to watch a 12 year old save humanity I guess. I'm looking forward to the rest of the story though, I really hope it won't turn into a comedy with now and then a fight as most action anime's tend to be, if you're going to make your serie have a serious and "dark/heavy" setting they should make the story follow that setting. If you read the manga/LN, you will understand that they do not grow physically (not sure if mentally too) past 10 years old ^^ I've just watched the first episode and I think the answer to that question is because the curse children were only created for a span of ten years and below. So yeah, they'd be a lolicion, like gradeschoolers. In any case, I really wonder how this people still live like nothing is happening. And I just want to know how the hell can this high quality society live with the rest of the world in brink of destruction? Did they develop somekind of machine that creates food and materials? also, if someone else ask why they dont give the cops varanium and let them hunt them, these are the answers: 1) 2) these cursed childrens are immune against the gastrea virus. remember, the virus spread via body fluids (blood, spit). if a police member get contact with it, he/she turns into a gastrea instead. this is why they have this system of promoter and initiator. btw, there are also varanium swords and blades etc., but rentaro preferrs bullets. more to this in the next episode. |

| I found it quite interesting to be honest. OP is decent and i like the characters so far. Seems like there are three anime series for me this season i'm going to stay with ^^ |
| I expected to be kinda more serious than it was. The setting is dark, but the character interactions are super relaxed and light-hearted. Dont get me wrong I really enjoyed it enough, but I hope it stays a little bit closer to the dark atmosphere the setting created. |
 |
| The animation was nice, but overall the episode was boring. Let's hope the next eps will be A LOT better. |
  |
| Precocious clingy loli a la Yaya and Rin Kokonoe...yep AOTS 6/5 Anywho, the plot doesn't seem original. Post apocalyptic Infected outbreak setting, only a chosen few can defeat them. We've seen this before. I wouldn't call it a bad thing essentially. There were many platformers after Super Mario Bros. but they had their own spin on things. The characters have potential and judging by a few people that read the LN it gets better...if the studio doesn't screw it up. If it does get worse, Enju will probably be the character that brings me back :3c. I can see how some people can find her annoying (high pitched voice, her precociousness, clingy) I find her charming and huggable. I can see those syringes coming into play later... 4/5, the first anime of this season I can't wait for the next episode of. Hopefully it's 24 episodes and if I crave more, I'll go to the LN. |

| Fripside :D Anyways, hearing about the Gastrea was really interesting, same with the Cursed Children which makes me curious about Enju. The ending scene gave me some AOT vibes, with the whole: "Humanity was almost wiped out" thing. It was a great episode and I'm looking forward to seeing more. |
| Promising. Overall, really enjoyed it, even with the whole loli/harem thing going on. |
Mauroki said: I expected to be kinda more serious than it was. The setting is dark, but the character interactions are super relaxed and light-hearted. Dont get me wrong I really enjoyed it enough, but I hope it stays a little bit closer to the dark atmosphere the setting created. I agree with this. I am confused with the tone of the show. Starts as very dark then the first scene after the time skip showed a relaxed mood and I expected the MC to be straight-laced but he seems to be a typical shounen MC. Okay ep I guess, though I'm leaning towards boring. |
| The loli ruined this show, simple as that. Damn japan. |
| Am i Only one who hears Attack on Titan on the choir part of the OP?? |
| pretty good so far. P.S the MC and the loli par.remind me of Big daddy and Little Sister lol |
Oxu said: Am i Only one who hears Attack on Titan on the choir part of the OP?? Nope, you're not. This show has clearly taken "inspiration" from Attack on Titan, Guilty Crown and Index a lot. Setting some kind of a mix from Titan and GC, and main characters from Index. And indeed, funnily enough, even the opening has copied Titan's opening. |
 |
| I will continue to watchthis for now but it could really do without the info-dumping/lecherous loli jokes from now on |
 |
| I never did like the angst in this story. And I must be deaf. Didn't recognize Kaji till 11 minutes in. |
 |
| Definitely keeping an eye on this! |
| First episode was fun to watch. I loved all the epic wide city-scape shots, they were so destructively beautiful! This show wasn't initially on my to watch list, but I'm definitely adding it now. Haven't watched many dark-post-apocalyptic tragedies lately, and this one seems as good as any for the season, even grittier than Akuma no Riddle. Definitely gonna look forward to my Wednesday nights now! |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| The episode was good. I liked the action scenes, the plot (mainly because of the "Cursed Girls"), and the interaction between Rentaro and the director, but not with Enju. She's really PERVERTED for a child! And annoying!! |

| Not sure about that one. I really dislike the loli stuff, I find it disturbing and if they won't limit the amount of it, I'll probably drop it. As for the story - I'm interested in the masked man and his plans. And the preview of the next episode got my curiousity. |

| This anime reminds of Mughibugyo with the insect and insects that take human form parts. The action was decent and the story about the infected girls was rather sad. I look forward to seeing how things progress. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Hmm remembered after watching it for a few minutes that I had actually tried to read the manga... though I guess I dropped it really fast cause I can't remembered what happened after the half of the episode... Don't think I'll keep watching this >< |
| This > Mahouka because lolis > imoutos |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Enju looks like Komurasaki from Machine Doll. Pretty interesting show. I pity those cursed girls. |
 |
| MC voiced by Yuki Kaji, who is not a retarded irritating beta pussy. Will keep watching for now.... |

| The show seemed promising for a bit at the beginning until the "10 years" gap. I highly doubt they managed to rebuild another city that is really developed in such a short time. I wished they would maintain a more serious attitude since giant ass mosquitoes are infecting people and turning them into giant ass spiders and shet. I don't really mind the loli too much (excluding the your average loli feature) but Kisara is kinda what got me. She just seemed like your average semi-tsundere high school girl that is somehow the president of whatever organization they're in. But I think this show has potential. I came to watching this anime blindly after seeing it on Anichart since the promotional poster looked pretty cool and the description made it seem like it would be worth a watch. I will definitely be looking forward to future episodes even though it might kill me doing so. NOTE: My first impressions are pretty shit so don't mind me and take what I said with a grain of salt. |

| Enju - the self-proclaimed fiancée :D rofl. |
| On Kissanime it is listed under genres Action/Seinen/Mystery. I think this belongs more to ecchi/loli genre, and later on maybe harem. It did not meet my expectations, will check out second episode, if it turns out to be another generic fan service anime I am dropping it. |
| Ad Astra Per Aspera |
| Enju remind me of Yaya from Machine Doll. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Seems having a large portion of the cast being made up of annoying female characters is pretty much a requirement for a Light Novel series. |
 |
| The beginning of the OP kinda reminds me of attack on titan's OP. And with humanity building monoliths around their city to protect against invaders whom no one knows anything about. Sounds a lot like attack on titan. Will definitely follow this. |
| Gunslinger Girl anyone? |
| I felt the episode really rushed,but I like the explanation they did. Rentarou character design looks so hot. Enju is adorable Love the opening and ending I love the fact they don't blur out the blood. I ready to see more. |
 |
| I like the action, animation, story & characters thus far, this could be a really good show. |
 |
| Why is it always spiders! I didn't get to see the action b/c I was shielding m eyes from that wretched arachnid! |
| Kind of sad that the anime didn't really explain why all the cursed children were all girls... v--Click below for explanation I was really expecting some amazing "steam" when Rentarou was fighting like how they had it in the manga. :( The artstyle, not too sure if I like it or not but what I can say is that it's very clean. I like it? But I kind of think it's too clean. Fear not, it will be |
| I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you. ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ Everyday life. |

Either way this seems like it will be one of the better anime in this seemingly lackluster season. |

| Looks interesting...Gastreas? hmm...and the fight scene in the beginning was pretty good |
| Enju is kind of annoying have a huge headache because of her |
 |
| This show is interesting. Loved the music :3 |
Stark700 said: To clarifiy it is a Light Novel.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... Anyway the setting seems similar to Attack on Titan (which I have still not watched). Anyway despite being an apocalyptic series I gotta find interesting how they've found room for more normal life stuff, that is to say this series won't be fully dark and there will be some room for humour but all in all remain serious. I will keep watching. My only regret is that once more long black haired girl in white skin is not the heroine -_- |

| Dem loli. It was alright. Meh, Enju kinda reminds me of Yaya... |
