| Looking good so far! What a wild ride this will be, first time I've read a manga before the anime so hope this will live up to my expectations. :) |
 |
| Amazing first episode, I think this is the best start out of all non-sequel shows this season. Aesthetically pleasing, and the mistery part already got me hooked. Interestingly enough, if this works somewhat similarly to Re:zero it would seem his current checkpoint is already past Ushio's death. |
 |
| I'm so glad I went into this completely blind, stories like this are always best enjoyed with a healthy dose of shock value. Really digging the visuals and soundscape so far as well. |
   |
| This episode was pretty good. It kinda felt like a bit too much happened in an episode, but from what I've seen from people saying that it was perfectly adapted, I hope that it's just because this episode was the set up for the series. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| This episode is so interesting. The ending was indeed perfect to hype up the viewers. The mystery intrigues me. Now he's back to rezero again |

| Very promising, great setup, great atmosphere building. Very excited, has a lot of potential. I got a lot of Higurashi vibes when the old man was explaining the legend with the disease and the God. Can't wait for more. |

InfinityDude88 said: What an amazing start to what is sure to be one of the best anime of the year. I read the manga just before it finished and have been anticipating this greatly so getting to see the mystery unfold again with such beautiful animation is a complete treat. It is a little upsetting that this show will ultimately be overlooked by most people thanks to the ridiculous Disney jail and the wealth of hype shows this season, but at the very least those of us that do watch are in for a bloody amazing time. My only other concern is that the series does not end up being rushed to completion, though this first episode seemed to keep up a steady pace so hopefully things won't go downhill later on. can you pls tell me what’s disney jail is ? idk much about this term lol is it referring to censorship or something |
bam |

| Modern higurashi, I liked it. |
| I've no idea whats going on but I'm intrested to find out. its been quite a while since I watched a great mystery anime, hope this turns out to be a good one. |
| This show has so much potential, it has me hooked with this episode. The shadows- a copy of one's self. I have a few questions stemming from this concept, but I assume they'll be answered in time. Great OST and animation as well. |
 |
| this was great!! soon as the guy started talking abt the shadow sickness it immediately reminded me of higurashi. ending seems to indicate some kind of as well im getting my hopes up for a seasonal anime lets hope for my sanity that this doesnt turn out to be a flop |

| Legit this gives me so much re zero vibes it's unreal. |
 |
| I loved this first episode so damn much. So tempted to go read the manga... least I know it's completed so it has an ending. But I hate Disney for keeping this locked away for the west... forcing us to use other means. |
| Great first episode and fuck Disney+. |
| What a start! So this is basically re:zero? Can't wait for more episodes man, this left me hyped. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Recently finished Dark on Netflix so seeing how this show has a (possibly) similar premise has me excited for yet another |
| Wow, I didn't expect this is a time loop anime, which is one of my favorite thing. Interesting and surprising first episode. I'm confused to what is happening with the shadows, and why he is actually looping when he dies. |
 |
| Keren sekali ini anime, apalagi dapat 25 episode. Semoga konsisten, sumpah keren!!! |
 |
| Nice, time looping and unnecessary fanservice again, so fun haha so fun very nice This anime is a walking cliche from the characters to the scenes and everything. I hope it changes in the next episodes but I doubt it |
| That was an intense episode. Looking forward to this one. |
| I was a decent bit late to this, the day it came out I was too tired to watch it and this has been my first free day to check it out lol, and wow, so far with this first episode I’m already liking it. I’m already liking the horror and mystery elements here, as well as the setting, for me it takes me back to good ol Higurashi, and I know a lot of folks are gonna think Re:Zero, but because I haven’t seen that I’m gonna compare it more to Higurashi lol, as well as Steins;Gate. There’s definitely something really good here, the end of the episode after all the buildup was proof of that, although it happened kinda fast with already getting thrown into the loop where the show started, I think it was a great way to kick things off, also getting to start with a face full of booba is nice lol, definitely liking the bits of fanservice here. I think I’m gonna really enjoy this, whether it ends up being a rushed adaptation or not, the mystery and horror fan in me is hooked, I’m already very interested and I can’t wait for the next episode. Also that OP was nice, cool visuals and great song, and I also loved that ED, I’m pretty sure that was irl footage (unless it’s just that well animated lol) and the song was very good, definitely a unique ED. |
Arwake said: reading the manga, i don't think cutting would be possible. Because there's nothing extra in the manga. 139 chapters may look a lot for 25 episodes but the chapters are quite shorter than normal.hyqura-genetix said: MANGA READERS SHOULD I WORRY ABOUT THE ADAPTATION? HOW MUCH CONTENT IS REMOVED ? 13 volumes of manga got put into 24 episodes anime. I suspect that at least some part will get cut, if not some story beat might feel rushed. |
Naki_671 said: Also, persona 3 in the OP I thought this too, man of culture lol |
| Well well well, there couldn't have been a better checkpoint than that could it? |
 |
| Oh yeah, we're going back to the loops. How often a peaceful independent island that sparkles in the middle of the summer becomes a haven for otherworldly forces? Quite often. Shinpei didn't have time to collect himself how he immediately got into a labyrinth of family ties and ancient legends, and all this under the sauce of quiet sadness for a departed helpmate. On the one hand, it is a pity that the first acquaintance ended in several cold-blooded murders and on the other hand, it immediately becomes clear that the time for games is over and there is only a struggle for survival ahead. While the setup is not espeially unique I'm sold on the following episodes as all the characters so far are lively and humanesque and the drama shown is very appropriate and understandable. |
 |
| Well, I loved the first episode. This feels like a great mix of mystery and supernatural - both genres that are right up my alley. But man, I don't want to get Tokyo Revenger-ed again, where the first 2 episodes set up a great premise, only to leave all that and turn the rest of the show into your average run-of-the-mill story. So I am going to keep my expectations low and see how this unfolds. |
 |
| The fanservice sticks out a little bit but not enough to ruin the entire series. A fraction of a second of panties isn't exactly a dealbreaker for me. As much as I really would love to gush over the first episode - direction, sound design, animation were all impeccable - I've been burned before by series like this. Gakkou Gurashi and Mayoiga both had really standout openers only to get bogged down in BS before they could truly take off. But I have hope. |
| Alright a introduction episode which distills information on the mystery that hangs over the island until this violent final scene which shows us a doppelganger then a time leap. First impression someone takes on the appearance of others using some technology perhaps. In any case, it makes you want to discover the end of the story. |
