Very strange black comedy, but pretty original. It has successfully grabbed my attention. Trailer gave me Gakkougurashi vibes when I watched it, I wonder if there will be any horror/suspense elements to it.

The plot from first episode seems to be quite different, not in any bad way. But the main issue i felt was that there was like no down time at all. The characters just keep on talking or inner monologues man. Just give me a few seconds in between to think in between its straight up this after that and then that. That was all I felt. Let's see the next few episodes...

I'm a sucker for gals having to navigate their way through an apocalyptic world. So it's safe to say that I found the first episode to be quite fun. I honestly got dissapointed when I realized that this is the only episode that's out right now. looking forward for the next one though!

i really like the way characters speak as if they are alive speaking very causually and rapidly unlike other animes that there must be hestitation and slow pace when they speak.

Holy shit wtf was that intro???? Man do I love me my original animes man bc that 7G fucked up everything bro it messed with the physics of the world with how the building were all looking wonky and shit, like the premise is so interesting I love it and im definitely gonna keep watching this especially bc it seems like a CGDCT type of show which are my favourites🤩🤩🤩

It doesn’t bother me but MY GOD the subtitles are just so fucking fast I can’t even process what’s being said and what’s on the screen at the same time sometimes like this is Saiki K levels of fast but 2x faster like I deadass reminded a bunch of times especially when Zenjiro was talking I don’t find it a turn but man I just had to let y’all ppl know😭😭😭😭

So it looks like this is gonna be about then journeying across Japan for the next 30 stops until they get to Ikekuburo so I’ll guess I’ll be with these girls until the last episode when they make it and meet Yoka😆

The animation looks fucking amazing I liked the POV when Shizuru walked onto the train and the ending song is such a banger wowowow🔥:D

I just noticed that Shizuru is voiced by the same voice actor who voices Chisato!!! IM DEFINITELY STAYING WITH THIS SHOW JUST TO HEAR CHISATO’S VOICE😫🤩

Nao Touyama!!!!!!!! I didn't expect to hear her here so that was nice. But what do you mean she's not voicing a main character? Nooooooooooooo

On the other hand we have Chika Anzai which is great! Chisato really made me a fan of her haha.

Man, what a crazy fun first episode. It's weird, intriguing, funny... I love it already and I'm excited, I'm looking forward to more.

And among all the weirdness, the old man (who at first I thought was just a pair of legs) turning into a young man was what surprised me the most. Coupled with Shizuru's reaction, it gave me a good laugh xD.

Ohh, it was actually good tbh. So it turns out that EMT² can do this kind of anime. Maybe Im just used to seeing fluff and CGDCT anime from them. The post apocalyptic, the mysteries and this kind of 7G thing is very intruiging. And somehow Im getting a Flip Flappers vibe. Looking forward to the next episode.

I had quite high expectations for this one, but was afraid it would be too much of a cute SoL with the character designs. But for now, it seems it's more of a "cute characters going through hell" kind of show. And I love it!

Of course it's too early to say anything for certain. But it looks unique, mysterious and very promising!

Spring '24 is off to a good start!

Easily piqued my interest with the bizarre situation the story is set in.
It's likely one of those 'symbolic' kind of story and I'd appreciate that, especially after recently watching Maboroshi.

Wow that first 2 minutes was wild.

It's such an interesting twist on the apocalypse. Human turn into Animal when they reached 21 years old?

I think this one has a lot of potential!

First of all, the op is absolutely fire, and the backgrounds are beautiful!

I really like the character designs, and the animation is pretty nice so far. The main character is a lot more interesting than I expected her to be, and I’m excited to see how her and the rest of the girls develop throughout their journey!

One thing that could have been a bit better was the pacing, especially towards the end. Honestly you could have spaced the stuff that happened in this episode into two. I won’t harp too much on it though, I know fast pacing is probably what they were going for. I just think it could have been done better.

The post apocalyptic setting is like none I’ve ever seen before, and I’m excited to see more of it.

Overall, this episode is a solid 7/10. Future episodes have the potential to be much higher though! I have high hopes for this, and it’s one I’ll be looking forward to!

I think as others have said, defo not was expecting that. The description does not at all match what happened. But I think that is what makes it better. I saw a comment below the episode when I watched. Because its a original anime, theres no one too or any way of knowing what happens next. So you're just along for the ride. Is defo kinda giving off A Place Further Than The Universe vibes.



Be safe and well travels,

Slow start, the concept feels super bizarre but also quite amusing, the characters seem a bit plain though, but the comedy is far from bad. Hopefully the second episode's gonna be even better.

What in the ghetto the old hag went from scoliosis to a young man with his yapping session about 7G and he reverts back to an old hag when he was about to finish his sentence.

Man...if that's what you call "slow", I think what you'd consider average pacing might just appear to me as incomprehensible warp speed.

@WatchTillTandava I listen to grindcore, any song over 2 minutes in length is a bit of a headache. You can get the idea.

I was kind of lost at the 7G thing. I didn't expect that would be the reason for all the suspense it was going for. But the first episode at least made me want to look forward to the next episode. Characters seem decent; let's see where this train will take us (12 weeks to reach the conclusion).

Weirdest anime of the season yet, that's for sure. Makes you wonder what the people making it were on.
Cute enough characters though. Can't go wrong with a cute chubby big girl + gyaru. Curious how the story will develop, and if we'll see whatever cause those bloody hand marks.

The most bizarre first episode i ever watch, what is 7g and why they all turn into animal. Does it mean other places turn into other creatures, and it seem ikebukuro is fine since Yuko is normal. They seem accepting of the curses of 7g more easier. and the most weird is the cuckoo old man turn into young guy he was but regressed back after it. science seem like magic at this point.

I just randomly picked this one up out of boredom, without even reading the synopsis. I just thought it looked cute, and indeed, I wasn't wrong. However, besides that, it's like this anime was directly catering to my interests. Unexpected, but if it can keep this pace up, this might become my seasonal favorite.

Well I definitely wasn't expecting that at all, but I'm for it. I'm really curious where they're going to take this story. I thought I had an idea what the vibe of this show was going to be, but after that setup, I got nothing now.

I only have one complaint, which is the warp speed pacing. I'm really hoping this is just for the intro episode, and it slows down from here on, because this was way too fast.

I love that they opened by making fun of 5G conspiracy theorists by having 7G destroy the world instantly on launch. That's hilarious.

Watching girls beat up both a ferocious animal and a helpless senile old man makes me happy. I get the feeling a lot of weird things are going to happen, but get glossed over as if it's normal (Which I love).

I was not a fan of how they included so much exposition during the early conversations. It was unnatural and it would be much more fun to learn about these things as we go, either directly stated or indirectly.

The concept of this anime is pretty cool. I was disappointed they revealed some things so fast like people adopting the mentality of these animals. With how the series seems to include a rich vocabulary I was hoping we viewers could speculate or gradually see these former humans adopting their traits. Afterall that should realistically happen if someone truly turns into an animal (the mind-body connection).

I'll see how it goes with this series but the concept, not the story the man character is going for, is what interests me. Since a good bit of the concept has already been explicitly stated I am not sure If I will like this series.

Not sure what I'm walking into with this series. I think I kind of liked Gakkou Gurashi, but I couldn't bear to watch more than a few episodes of Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryouko. Kemono Friends was great though.

Wonder why the figure is 21 1/4 years old to turn into an animal though...
If I interpret that as a date, it could be 2021 April 1, about 3 years ago from today, while the anime indicates a 2 year time skip...
If I convert it to days, it's about 7762 days, which is about 2 weeks short of 7777 days. Maybe it's close enough that they just say "21 years 3 months"?

i'm not sure i like the animal filled world, or the fact that the girls will turn into animals too... but i guess it might be interesting to follow this train journey
