I hope that they wouldn't rush this just like the God of Highschool adaptation. My god Mappa, please we know you're good at animating things but slow down a bit okay? Though this episode wasn't rushed which is good. I have high hopes for this.

There were some elements that I liked such as the animation and the horror theme.

However, the comedy is atrocious and it's ridiculous how the main character is able to adapt to the situation so easily. He's a regular high school student at the start of the episode and by the end he's flying through the air and beating up deadly monsters as if he's been doing it forever. How about some struggle in between all that? Whatever.

The staff is different as well as the director.

Very average, but too soon to say more than this.

Nycro said:
That directing doesnt feel right at all. The scene where the grandpa died felt so off. He was rotating and talking without any problems and suddnely dies of old age. Lol

Victimized said:


That's how death works though.

You must've not seen a loved one die.

Because that's how it is... one minute their fine next you're left wondering what happened before you realise.

What are you fucking talking about. I literally experienced how a family member
slowly died due to cancer. The process was slow, very slow.

it's a full-blown jump show. We can't have a dude with glasses without a closeup of him pushing them against his nose. Can't have a female without sexualizing it and groping it. Can't have a male lead with gifted powers without him making particularly banal declarations like "dying is sad.", Mappa's animation doesn't really bring much to the table when they're focusing on over-animating groping, running down hallways, or shouting particularly dramatically. It's weird. They're in the middle of a supposed action scene, dude is being crushed by some kind of Cronenberg monster, and the animation budget is going instead into the guy twenty feet away dramatically swinging his arms around while shouting. I'm not even sure how the big ol' monster attacks. It grabbed the dude, then we cut to the outside of the building where it shows lights flashing, and then he explodes out of a wall. At this point, there are zero more energy blasts whatsoever. No idea how it was killed either for that matter since we ascribe to the usual Jump "dude stands there and poses while the enemy evaporates" school of cool.

I'm probably coming off a bit more negative than I actually feel but seriously nothing in the premise or direction change my mind that it is a generic shonen anime with nothing special, take away the good animation and surely and it surely be like black clover or any anime that pierrot produces.

so how many episodes did we need to see the grandpa slowly die? lol stop with this dumb ass criticism it isnt even relevant.

the grandpas purpose of the show was to give him a reason to fight and it worked. ur not supposed to get some deep backstory and watch him deteriorate.
