This show is
| What I mean is are you watching this, genuinely looking for a decent horror/thriller/ drama show, or are you watching it to see how ridiculous things will get and get a good laugh out of the result? Most of my friends sseem to be doing the latter, so I was curious about how many other people were doing the same. Me personally I'm watching it both ways to an extent. I'm trying to believe this will be decent at whatever it tries to do, but I also am trying to get lols out of it ssince looking at this horror/ thriller in a comedy perspective seemed like an interesting thing to try. OK I'm done making threads here for a while lol, sorry for so many |
"Fuck this shit, fun things are fun!" |
In all honesty, I am just watching this for the memes, shit and giggles. |
| Trying to take it seriously but its not working out sofar... |
| How ridiculous things will get ? It's been completely ridiculous even before the OP of the first episode. I only had to watch the first half to realize that every character was a retard, and to tell a friend he might like Mayoiga for the lulz. Also, check that, MC-kun got 2deep4u hallucinations. I don't believe it's gonna become dark or anything. The characters are already failing so hard at pretending to be "dark" themselves, there is hardly any way the plot won't follow the same trend. |
| Was hoping for a cool thriller full of dead bodies but unless they complete turn the atmosphere around next ep, I'll be here watching for giggles. |
| Actually taking it seriously lol because the atmosphere they set up is pretty great and it gives off those kinds of suspense vibes. |
| “Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete..." -Alphonse Elric "Then and now, what I protect has never changed!" -Sakata Gintoki I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that. |
| A bit of both I think and I'm leaning more on the latter though I don't really mind either way... Why so serious? lol |
| well i'm certainly not watching it because of its serious dark atmosphere. :p |
 |
| I was hoping for the former but im not sure where this show is even going rn |
| I was taking it seriously until Misaki blew chunks on the bus driver. Also, Manbe and his wife Pita bread or whatever her name is ruins any seriousness for me. Still, one can still hope for death, gore and betrayal. |
| 臭い- |
| It doesn't seem 100% serious, I don't know, we'll see I guess. |
 |
| As pretty much everyone else has said, I'm doing a bit of both. It seems very interesting to me. Although, I do have a small habit of liking anime that aren't very well received. Classroom Crisis and Koufuku Grafiti coming to mind. So maybe my opinion isn't worth very much here... It has its comedic moments, but you can tell that there are going to be some serious moments too. But even if it isn't 100% serious, I don't really think that's necessarily a bad thing? Never did get why everything has to be so serious for some people. Keep in mind though, there have been anime that start off goofy, but then get serious after a while. Steins;Gate comes to mind. |
| I'm taking it serious for now,there doesn't seem to be too many funny scenes anyway...It's only been 2 eps and I have hope this will turn out good in the end. |
| I don't think this show is supposed to be taken as a thriller/horror anime. Really, it doesn't look like one and I don't understand those who laugh at it saying that the show fails at being serious. It's not a serious anime to begin with and the show truly is aware of it. It is a mystery show, not a horror thriller. This anime is trying to make itself the most interesting by creating an intense atmosphere, by adding tensions between the group and by including mysteries in the story. There are funny scenes in which we can understand that the show is not supposed to be 100% serious. I'm enjoying this anime a lot the way it is presented. This anime is really entertaining. |
| I'm trying to, I really am. xD But the cringe doesn't help. xD |
| both options don't work for me. I watch it for mystery and I expect no horror from it. |
 |
| Huge company drugged/brainwashed people and made them going to the village and now they are doing secret experiments and broadcasting the stuff. Of course the chars don't know about it. And politicians/police are paid to ignore the village. Maybe thats how it is. Lol. Later they get rid of the people. (Would explain why the village was empty. If they all died there would have bodies been left. If they just left the village I don't think all of them would have kept quiet - at least 1 should have talked and made the village public. Of course 1 could have killed all the others then disposed of the bodies, left the village and kept quiet. Let's see. Episode 2 seemed more like survival/monster thing which imo is boring.) |
| I'm watching because I'm hoping that there is some horror elements and for the lolz |

PaiiNy said: I think every person watching this for the laughs and shit needs to get the fuck out :p I don't think the producers want us to look at this as some joke. But rather as a good Drama and Mystery show that we can enjoy due to the excitement and stuff and as a fucking joke. I'll take this seriously as I do with every show, no matter the characters. Comparing it to different communities is just cringe-worthy. take this, it will help you |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Both Some bits are serious and some bits are funny. No need for extremes. |
| Honestly, I have no idea why I'm still watching this. xDD These characters are so dumb I just simply can't not watch them xDD |
| A little bit of both so far. I was expecting a thriller/drama with a dark atmosphere, but I got lulz instead. Is not necessarily bad, but it's not what I expected. Although, I think it's too soon to judge, there's only two aired episodes atm and we don't know how it's going to turn out. |

| I don't watch anything for the ''lulz'' because I'm not toxic. I'm taking the show as serious as it taking itself. For now it seems to be build up with a relatively mild atmosphere. Enjoyed the second episode. I think there are two directions the show will go into and both look good to me. First direction and approach is it's going to be about how people interact when forming a new society (much like Sucide Island), I would very much like this option because it touches upon human minds, how they behave in groups and how they behave with no law. A human study where all the signs of danger are just red herrings. Second is an actual thriller with something sinister surrounding the village like a dark past. |
 |
| For lolz of course |
| I'd be more surprised if people were watching it seriously. |

| >User since 2008 Please god help me quit this website. Such great community that doesn't even know how demographics work, AND gives """detailed"""" reviews after first episodes. |
| Drop, if people will start dying I will continue. |
 |
| Can anyone actually watch this seriously? Everyone I know burst out laughing at least a few times during episode 1 alone, for me this is the best unintentional comedy of the season. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| The puker and that married couple and that needlessly intense fgt and the cute faces prevent me from taking it seriously as horror so far. Watching for lulz rn |

Nidhoeggr said: the best unintentional comedy of the season. What makes you think that it is unintentional? |
| Honestly, I'm mostly watching this because I'm expecting a train wreck (or should I say, a bus wreck? har har) to come a-rollin'. |
| Both I guess. I don't really know what I'm expecting. |
| Watch this turn into Another by the end. It'll be bloody hilarious. |
  |
| Seems likely to be both of the poll's options rolled into one. At least, that's how I'm taking it at this point. |
| Now that we are done with EP 3 I have given up on watching it seriously. It's very hard for me to watch - too much shouting and screeching, too much retarded decision making, etc. At least Yottsun, the rapper douche, is KIA, now I'm hoping Jack the Slasher boy knifes or mattocks pirate boy. If I were at the Lost Village I would bully pirate boy until he hanged himself. |
| This series is the simbol of nonsense but I'll keep to watch it. It's too ridicolous and the characters are stupid, but it's so funny XD |
| honestly, before started watching this i thought it would be a serious show, but so far (watched 3 episodes) i'm not taking it seriously because it looks more like a parody of horror shows. The characters are very stupid but i think they are doing this on purpose. That's why i 'm enjoying so much. The couple, for example, it's a typical couple that appears in that genre of show and eventually will die. |

| To be honest I feel like its a good horror, but I also feel like its reddit on a bus. The question is, can't it be both? |
