| Im baffled to see that this is actually good. For the last couple of seasons, KyoAni was only making stupid adaptations like Tamako Market and Free, but this is actually VERY good, I have great expectations for the rest of the series. |
| reminds me of hyouka |
 I love you. |
| Not too bad I guess this show could get better |
 |
| Before this aired: Oh great another generic KyoAni moe slice of life bullshit anime. After watching: okay you win KyoAni you fucking win. |
| ehhh. it looks nice, as does any kyoani show. not quite as good as nichijou or hyouka but still. above average by far but it was just so.. ZzzZzzzZZZzz ill give it the standard 3 ep rule. there's potential there, but to be honest this episode kinda bored me to tears. and i loved hidamari sketch and aria. and i was quite looking forward to what kyoani could do action wise in one of their big budget shows (they had fantastic scenes in nichijou) but id have to say that the style nichijou was in was probably what made those scenes work so well. in the hyouka/chuuni/free/k-on style of animation it just felt eh. its painfully apparent that whilst the animators at kyoani are no doubt incredibly skilled, they have very little experience animating more realistic action scenes. and to be honest. from what ive seen of KLK so far, im pretty sure its going to overshadow KNK in absolutely every regard when it comes to actiion scenes. if ttgl was anything to go by, that automatically the case. |
 |
| This is better than TTGL first episode, which is not saying much but still worth watching. |
 |
| KyoAni, what else ? |
| It's alright so far. I like the MC and the girl with black hair. I hope this doesn't turn into a harem though. |
 |
| Great start with a little bit of action and the OP & ED sounds awesome. Like the others said KyoAni has a great animation and visuals. The seiyuus looks new to me but the seiyuu of Mirai is kind of cute. Mitsuki reminds me of Mio from K-On and Mirai reminds me also of Braz from Blood lad because they can manipulate blood, awesome. Looking forward to the next episodes :D |
| I have a feeling that all the characters are just chuuni. |
 |
| Omg, so good. The animation is eye candy. Can't wait for the second episode. |
 |
| I love the animation, but i'm not sure about the constant changing between serious action and cute comedy. I did enjoy the episode though, and the music was great. Will continue watching! |
| Hmm, not impressed by the first episode. The action and everything as okay, but nothing seems to stand out much for me. The male lead seems to be pretty good but the female lead is very unimpressive. Hope to see some improvement in the plot. |
| Seems great so far, I love the animation, art and OST. I'll definitely keep watching! |

| This looks as if it will be my favourite series from KyoAni amongst their recent stuff. Likable characters, I am particularly interested in the black haired girl, giving the impression that she's an enemy. |
| Except for the art (which was still not as stunning as Hyouka's in my opinion), I didn't really like the show so far. Maybe it's because the two main characters feel like copies of Rikka (cute airhead, trying to act all serious but failing at the simplest tasks, always follows male MC around) and Yuuta (competent guy, acting all serious with the female MC but still letting her have her way, because of some sort of mix of pity, affection and attraction, always has a sarcastic comment on hand). I'll see if it gets better but not impressed so far... |
 |
| Is it too much to ask for subtlety... I'm a bit interested, so I'll keep watching. |
| I'm impressed at how unique it is but still not exactly sure how it's going to play out. Mirai a cute |
 |
| This is one of the best opening episodes I've watched in a really long time. I had loved the PVs and was hoping KyoAni would follow through, I wasn't disappointed. I really wasn't expecting Mirai to go all yandere from the start. The action was nicely done with the SOL and plot elements complimenting it well, hopefully there are more developments coming. |

DeviFreakMint said: Hopefully the plot kicks in fast. Because it feels like a generic KyoAni school slice of life with a few fantasy elements sprinkled in. Look at the genres of the show. MAL said: Genres: Slice of Life, Supernatural Not sure what you were expecting. |
 |
| Well I think the characters are really irritating... especially that warrior girl... seriously what's with her reason for stabbed him non stop even though he doesn't seem like he minds that much... And I don't get why she just stabbed him the first they met? Didn't she knew only afterwards that he was a youmu? Anyway I'll maybe watch ep 2 and then drop it if she keeps being like that |
| Waited for UTW. Late to the party. Simply, good shit right here in every category. |
| First episode was boring. The girl was annoying. I'll keep watching a few episodes because KyoAni so miracles can happen but after this episode: meh. |
| KyoAni.... I don't even know what to say... what a exelent animation... But kinda remembered me of RDG from P.A. Works, but with the kyoani character design that i love. |
| Interesting and beautiful art. The animation is top-notch. Not really sure about the characters yet. But I know that I will not like that black haired girl. I like the fact that KENN is getting more main roles. I liked him as Dino from Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I would've like that they would've explained couple things but I'm sure that they will clear them later on. I'm not a huge fan of the OP. It just sounds meh The ED on the other hand is amazing. Can't stop listening to it. |
| Wow real high Chuunibyou vibes here. Girl is a little bit annoying but I'll keep watching. I like the childhood friend though. |
| The animation is so gorgeous <3 I like the protagonist and the black haired girl. The glasses girl has really cute clothes. I don't really have much to say about anything else, except that I'll keep watching as it seems like it could get interesting. |

| Amazing first episode! It was sooooo cute! I'm looking foward for the next one! |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| I'll try watching a few more episodes, but I most likely won't watch until the end of the series. How can they draw hands this small? Especially the heroine looks like a ten year old. I didn't expect her to be clumsy, but whatever. |

Look at the genres of the show. MAL said: Genres: Slice of Life, Supernatural Not sure what you were expecting. Pre-release tags were Fantasy, Supernatural. Keyword: Generic. There's more to the slice of life genre is more than copy pasting the same characters over different settings. When a series was being described as a "Dark Fantasy", I expected KyoAni to be ballsy and trying something different. See how your expectations can ruin the experience? You came in expecting a dark fantasy (where did that come from?) and will remain annoyed until the end unless you change that, all you'll get is a slice of life with fantasy elements. As for being generic, just give it time, who knows what will happen later. |
|
| I don't know what to say... Seems pretty random.... But damn those visuals..... Will continue to watch those awesome art/animation.... 3.5/5 |
 |
| Animation was good, story was kinda .. meeh .-. Im gonna keep watching tho. |
| This is looking like a pretty promising series from the pilot episode. It's like a fun mix of Hyouka, Chuunibyou, Bakemonogatari, and Is This A Zombie. And, as usual, the fantastic animation from KyoAni makes it aesthetically pleasant on the eyes. |
 |
| 2/5 I hope next episode has less slice of life and more action and more serious stuff and . Otherwise, I'll drop this shit |
| Feels like KyoAni all right. Flashing off interesting plot then probably mixing in 75% generic slice of life. Not liking Mirai either. We see way too many of the same damn girl in KyoAni shows. |
 |
| I'm not a troll, i feel bad, but i need to say this... BORING! First episode of Tamako Market is a lot better! GENERIC! FORCED CUTENESS! The art is awesome tho' but Hyouka has better graphic so i'm not actually WOWED now. Disappointed, kinda hyped of KyoAni first dark fantasy anime, turns out.... meh Judging from the first episode.. K-ON! > FREE! > Chunibyo > Tamako Market > Hyouka > This anime. And please don't say that Mirai is basically Yui in fantasy setting, IDK man Yui is so cute and her clumsiness made me smile, but Mirai, oh man, she tries to be Yui but FAIL real hard, her attempt to become cute makes me cringe. |
