Only intended to watch about 5 minutes once I saw that it was CG.. episode ended before I knew it.

Reminds me of RWBY in that it has a story but the animation is... that.

Now just need some information about the whole premise..

EDIT: I see a lot of people saying that this was done by the same person/company/whatever as Kemono Friends? I've never seen it so I can't compare it to that, I just went in blind.

Hate the animation, I'm not a big fan of CGI in the first place, and low-budget CGI is... well...
The facial expressions were especially bad.

However, the setting looks super interesting and there could be a great story here! Not gonna say anything about the characters just yet.

So, I'm definitely watching the next ep as well!

This 1st episode is similar to Kemono Friends 1st episode in a sense that the whole thing is confusing. I agree to someone's thought that Wakaba is similar to Kaban-chan. In my view both are human, suddenly came out of nowhere and have this weird personality. The charm of this episode is also from the setting and the "bad animation". The atmosphere of "curiosity is valued over anything" is so similar to Kemono Friends. Tasuku has this knack on writing interesting dialogues which mostly cannot be predicted but still simple to understand (recall that weird cup ramen commercial by the two foxes). I dig this show.

It's pretty obvious they managed to hurt him when he could dodge and then did nothing but talk about killing him when he couldn't instead of trying. But maybe I'm the one seeing things that never happened, who knows.


I believe that while the rinas are trying to hurt him to stop him.from escaping, Rin is trying to attack him just to prove if he is a bug. If Wakaba dies, then it's ok, he was a bug, if he doesn't die by the methods bugs die, he wasn't a bug and it's good they didn't kill a non-bug. It could be explained a bit better, but it's understandable why you wouldn't kill on sight someone who isn't attacking you.

the animation in RWBY is quite good now, since they switched from Poser to Maya, Volume 6 is gorgeous

Oh really? I'm only a couple seasons in, so I was wondering if that was ever going to change. I might jump back into it now..

I really dislike how the male character looks. Why is it always some generic wimpy looking shota/child?

Interesting start. Plenty of mystery all around again just like in Kemono Friends.

It's funny how the animation actually looks better than Kemono Friends 2 because of the higher framerate.

This has Kemono Friends written all over it. I'll just watch this and pretend it's season 2 haha. Seriously, it's the exact style that I liked about Kemono Friends. It also has good framerate. I really like the green beam thing. All sorts of mystery in this one as well.

My first thought was that red bugs are pretty much cerulians.

Team Tanoshii does it again!

Dude, it was actually a really cool start until Wakaba came in.;; I feel they can make it work, but so far I actually tuned out as soon as I got to see what he was all about-- otherwise, I was really interested in what was happening. But really, most other world stories are pretty light or are actually really serious. This is playing two tunes; we've got the serious girls and the dopey, useless boy. I mean, I can deal, but I think it'll take some getting used to. I was ready to watch an episode and then pretend I never watched it, but I think I'll actually just watch it. I want to see where they go with this. The romance thing is already blah, but we'll see.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

Mmh, I wasn't expecting the charadesigns to be altered this much.

Not understanding the complaints behind the boy/man's appearance. Although I dislike his even more "ordinary guy" look than his predecessor, he's simply the disturbance element of the story as it was already planned in the concept movie.

While it was mostly okay, I found the guy's movements to be very mechanical/clunky.

3/5

@CrimsonTsuki One can suppose that the ordered work, Kemono Friends, made enough ruckus for the director and its studio to get the opportunity (money) to produce their own personal work. (this is based on a two parts short net animation they made a while back and self published on YT). So, you don't miss anything, I guess.

The animation is pretty good actually, solid.
Rinako's death was sad, somehow I got attached to that 'Rina' version more than the others. Oh well, there are still 4 left, which gives me a bad feeling that more of them will die later and they likely will.

I'm... weirded out. The community of nearly identically looking and named girls who battle bugs and live on an island that's surrounded by something that isn't water lies waaay out of my comfort zone. xD Also the cat ears. Why does the root sis have cat ears?
Anyways, I'll give it another episode or two. Ain't harboring much hope though.
