Gleipnir is an over the top edgy mess of a show and if I had to give it any compliments it would be that the fight scenes are well choreographed and have smooth animation, but sadly that’s where my compliments end. This show is so aggressively gross that it makes it hard to enjoy any of the non-toxic parts of it, and when I say gross I don't mean like blood, gore, and cum type of gross I mean like reading a middle schooler’s hyper-specific fetish fanfiction type of gross. Any time the author tries to get me to sympathize with the relationship between the

Are you ready?
I'm going inside. You're so sticky and wet. I'm going all the way in. It's so warm and fits just nicely. Does it hurt? We're one now. I'm just a mere being wandering on the hellhole that is earth and as such, I don't deserve anything worthy of praise. But when Gleipnir knocked out my doorstep I straight away knew that this was the present I've always wanted. Yes, because Gleipnir is more than an anime - it's a new experience to be witnessed at least once in our dismal life. Something that would make our hearts go full uwu. Gleipnir isn't the usual story. ... Jun 28, 2020
Gleipnir, what could we ever do in a world without you? A whole lot actually. For instance, I don’t have to suffer every week watching some kid in a creepy mascot animal outfit running around. Watching Gleinpir was not a pleasant experience and by unpleasant, I mean the type of unpleasant that makes you want to turn the television off.
First of all, let’s ask ourselves, just what the hell is Gleipnir? It’s not a real word but a creation made by Sun Takeda. With that out of the way, you may probably want to take a closer glance at the synopsis because it’s full of ... Jun 28, 2020
--THERE ARE NO SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW--
What if I told you an anime could be surprisingly well animated, have characters that get solid development, a fairly interesting story with plenty of mystery and action, a BANGER of a soundtrack, all of this combined...while still absolutely being edgy, ecchi trash? That is Gleipnir in a nutshell. It’s nothing amazing and there’s an argument for it just being a “surprisingly good ecchi show”, but I see it more as a genuinely good show with effort put in that just also has a ton of fanservice and innuendos. Having been caught up on the manga, without spoiling anything ... Apr 25, 2020
I'll be brief: THEY HAD TO LITERALLY INSERT A SPINE INTO THE MAIN CHARACTER FOR STORY TO HAPPEN.
I say follow with rule of 3 with this one, if it doesn't hook you by than, it won't later either. MC is so god damn useless that story can't progress without him having powers to let someone else do his job. While the story is interesting it's not that unique when you think about it. Basically, this is reverse Darling in the Franxx. But with more edge. And somehow with even more sexual theme of fights. Story - 7/10 - For now 'cause I don't really have to go ... Jun 2, 2020
A simp anime, the "hero" serves the girl like a good dog and will help her obviously and is not even respected, how we got there, to have animes like that...
Would it be possible to have animes with male characters who are not going to help girls' problems and who are respected? 'Cause this is getting really annoying. And about the story it’s beyond the ridiculous, the main character has no background it’s empty, all he does is help the girl, that’s really the story, then there are monsters coming out of nowhere, nothing is explained and the monster designs are really ridiculous Apr 27, 2020
Every season there's always at least one anime where you can't help but think: damn, this anime is terrible in every way possible! What a waste of resources creating this, and what a waste of time watching this! Upon superficial viewing, Gleipnir may seem like this type of series, one where you just don't know what is going on in the creator's right mind. However, this is in fact, not the case.
In reality, Gleipnir is a gripping psychological drama with a hint of a beautiful romance. The title itself should already be enough to draw you in. 'What the fuck does Gleipnir mean?' I bet ... Apr 28, 2020
I have read or currently up to date with the manga.
So, compare to the other reviews to the series, this opinion does not come from the Anime per se but the show as a whole. Don't worry I will try my best not to mess the enjoyment for you and let's avoid spoilers but IF you are in any way interested in it, I would advice you to go ahead and read for yourself. Should you watch Gleipnir? Short answer: YES. Long answer: It depends on your taste. Not for kids. Not for Shounen fanatics. For starters, let's get something clear. This is a series not for the ...

Action, ecchi, mystery, sci-fi, battle royales. If any of the following interest you, you’ll like Gleipnir. It was easily one of my favourite shows from Spring 2020 and was a fun time throughout.
For me, the ideal anime is one that blends a lot of lewd fan service with a good story and characters. Gleipnir managed to do that very well. I understand fan service and edgy story set ups are not for everyone, and if you are opposed to that, you will probably not enjoy this. From the very first episode, the series managed to hook me with its interesting premise and mystery. Every ... Jun 12, 2020
I think this anime deserves way more credit than people are saying. I feel though others are bandwagons for things that they haven’t even seen. When I went to look at the ratings before watching(like on YouTube and MAL), the ratings really did draw me off from watching. I saw people describe this anime before even the 4th episode even came out Making it seem TOTAllY different from what is it. I highly request for people to give this a try. Even “i” had my doubts and it is saddening to me that people give this a bad score because they base it off others

First here's my previously removed "review"
Don't waste your time. It's total shit. The creators just wanted this sadistic girl last for more than an episode and that's the only reason the MC hasn't eaten her which would've solved all the problem. Absolutely atrocious series judging by only the first episode. Why couldn't they just talk it through? Why does it have to be a totally wimpy MC? If you want some series with decently developed characters, with interesting story where events happen because it's necessary, and not because creators thought it would be cool to add - that is not for you. Now, on to the ... Jun 28, 2020
Gleipnir suffers from the “Fire Force Syndrom” where the main cast is so unbelievably stronger or smarter than the villains that you start to wonder why there’s even a conflict to begin with. I know Fire Force isn’t the first of its kind to do something like this but unlike some other shows, it's most frustrating when the concept of the show is really interesting. However, unlike Fire Force, everything else about this show also falls flat.
Tl;dr Gleipnir started out pretty promising but slowly as time went on went from “decent” to nonsensical in about 6 episodes then stayed at that level for the rest ... Jun 7, 2020
This show has very interesting concepts handled pretty terribly, which saddens me because on paper it shows promise. Allow me to explain.
The basis of the plot is pretty interesting, involving an alien ship that crashed on earth. This particular alien race doesn't have a material body, so they have their minds stored inside coins. One of the aliens offers humans cool anime powers in exchange for finding his friends, who are scattered around the general area of the crash site. The powers each person gets are based on their innermost desires/fears/complexes, whatever. You get the idea. Yeah, it's not air-tight, but it's pretty interesting. On ... Jun 29, 2020
This shit was garbage alright, but I thought it was going to be the type of garbage that I would enjoy like of which the Highschool of the Dead. Don’t get me wrong, the first half of this show was enjoyable. It had an interesting premise, fights, ecchi fanservice, etc. The second half of this show was where it fell apart for me.
What initially was going to be about an adventure between a boy named Shuuichi and a yandere girl named Clair to find out the reasons behind her sister’s murdering of her parents, to the boring stale talking about nonsense with maybe a ... May 4, 2020
I'm willing to bet that most of the people that picked this show up, did it because of either the amazingly-animated fight or because of the tasteless fanservice that accomodates most of Clair's screentime. For me it was both, and while the bad rating had me on guard, I honestly did not expect it to be this bad. If I had to find one phrase to describe this it would be "A waste of good production". That fight was the only thing this show had going for it and that's exactly why it makes me so sad...
Story/Characters: Awful. Horrible. Disgusting. I can't even find the courage ... May 20, 2020
Ok, now hear me out, this shit is raunchy as all hell and if you don't like excessive gore, excessive violence, or excessive "coincidences", then this show isn't for you, but if you want to just unwind, let your brain soak in some catharsis and have a very strong immunity to all the above due to the fact that you've been in the anime community long enough to know about this website then you'll probably have a good time. There are some pitfalls that other people watching this show have put themselves into though that can taint there experience of the show. One don't

Imagine being a kid and one day you wake up to huge paws, an enhanced sense of smell, and a sudden hunger for freckled, crazy, blonde panties. For most people we call that puberty, for Shuichi it is literally a nightmare as he finds himself blackmailed and joined at the hip to a crazy freckled blonde named Claire who quickly entagles him and a brutal and violent death game.
Gleipnir's setup and its first initial episodes have the subtlety of a brick. From the get go you know what this is about. Shuichi turns into a big giant fursuit, and when Claire steps inside of him, ... May 26, 2020
So I never planned on watching this show. I thought the premise of turning into a monster was pretty rad until I saw all the screenshots and clips of him being a goddamn furry suit and being controlled by some psycho yandere. I don't recommend it. It may sound cool, but it's just weird and uncomfortable and terribly confusing.
My roommate and I decided to watch this for shits and giggles. It's HORRID. There is all kinds of sexual harassment within the first episode alone! Fem MC is so hypersexualized for being around 15/16 years old and male MC is bland and weak-willed despite having his ... Apr 26, 2020
My personal opinion on this Anime is it's Overdone, The Anime trying too much to make everything unique/unusual/weird, and by everything i mean "EVERYthing".
From mcs odd character to scenes trying to make you amazed, and for some people or younger new audience this could work wonderfully because it blew their mind. But for me i cannot buy it, its just too much of a mess. paired with load and load of sexual innuendos and ecchi scenes which I usually don't care about, but at this point it's this show main selling point. The Fight Scenes and Art is above average by today standard, but not ... Jun 29, 2020
I'll describe this anime like the underwear it uses, it starts with nice laced ones and ends with a bland blue swimsuit.
This anime starts well but after ep3 it goes downwards, even the art and sound deteriorate. The middle episodes can easily be erased without losing much of the story. A part of the ending episodes is even about erasing ties with the middle ones. Characters are incomplete as details get lost and you just have to believe they have reasons for their actions. The more you think about it the more questions you get. Ah for an anime about collecting coins, not a lot ... |
