Well, that didn't take long to sub at all. I can't find anywhere to stream it, so if you want to watch it you'll have to download it. I can't tell you where to get it, but it's out there.

It was.... neat? The CG wasn't that bad I guess, and I think that the story has potential. The best part by far was the little idol scene featuring a song by Reol, one of my favorite Japanese artists. It's only going to be 2 episodes, with the second one coming out sometime next month, on the 5th I think. It had a slow start but picked up action wise in the last few minutes. I'd give it a shot if you think you'd enjoy it.

I am actually legit upset that this is only going to get 2 episodes! I thought this was very entertaining and the story has a lot of potential.

That was surprisingly entertaining! The CG animation looked good and the songs were nice, the designs of the girls were on point as well, looks like it will only have one more episode tho, what a shame.

All of the songs were done by Reol. She has a Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/reolch

I normally don't like to watch this type of CG animation but it seemed interesting after reading the synopsis. Too bad it only has two episode. (and 15 min long)

I don't get why CG anime is still done with such low framerates. RWBY showed higher FPS is a good thing.

Hmm, is it just me or Mio kinda looked like princess Kotoko? Same case with Shin; his face resembles Jin's

Anyway this looks pretty interesting. It's a pity there'll only be 2 episodes tho

First one was not bad, actually. But too bad it only has two short episodes.

Very interesting main idea - the death of person from one world, cause the death his relative person in other world...

Yeah that's what I was thinking, that they'd have to fight. It will be interesting when the second ep comes out!

The premise seems solidly interesting, but being 2 episodes really limits how much of a story they can provide to us. I just hope this thing actually shows what it's synopsis was talking about by the end of the second ep.

It is difficult to give a pertinent judgment, given that we have only given a small glimpse into history. A brief breakthrough that can make us guess what it can be and vice versa. The CG is pretty good, although the recent series view as ID-0 seems to be better. I do not go over in the CG judgment because the quality of the video I saw was not the best. Anyway, I'm waiting for the next episode to come to a more complete judgment.

The first part of the episode may sound weird, because it's a narrative gimmick that has been used so many times. Some of the parts show a part of the story you would normally see in the middle of the story or in the end, but here you begin to see it from the beginning, but then you go back to the story at the beginning of the story and start telling things according to the timeline right. That is, in a nutshell, what they did in this episode.

No idea how they plan on doing this in just two 16 minutes ONAs, lol. Story feels more like it'd be better done in 1-cour, but ok.

I've never been a fan of fully animated CG shows, but I've gotten kinda used to it after Ajin, and this one wasn't that bad.

Ok episode. OST was pretty neat, though.

I liked this. But feel bad for it being a 2-episodes short ONA. It has potential. It deserves a full TV anime series.
For now, we can just wait for the second episode.

I'd like to believe that perhaps the second episode would be slightly, if not substantially, longer than the first. It would be such a shame if it were to be crammed within another 15 minute short, the plot has lots of potential.
With regards to the first episode... the pacing seemed a little off to me at first (the change in setting and focus was a little jarring in my opinion) but I think it rounded off pretty decently, with enough of a hook to keep me very interested for the next episode!

Intriguing plot and the CG animation didn't make me cringe. Instead, the spatial distance and absence of feeling between characters was only enhanced by the stiff bodily motion generated by the CG animation process. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible for such a complex storyline could be satisfactorily resolved in the fifteen or so minutes of episode 2, but who knows?

It seems pretty good so far. I was confused with the whole idol thing but I guess that was the Opening but they could of made that more obvious.
It is fairly interesting. So there is an alternate Japan with the inverted flag colors where some totalitarian imperial family rules with an iron fist. A post-apocalyptic world plutocracy?

Not sure... then in a modern normal Japan. Apparently the rebels(I think) opened a portal to normal Japan. The murders probably tied to this. So far so good, kind of disappointed it only have 2 episodes, it has potential. Properly done dystopia is always nice.
IDK why this only have rating of 6. I thought it is better than most mainstream anime. The OST didn't really stand out to me.

The animation seems fairly heavy CGI, not bad nor good CGI. So I assume it probably doesn't have too big of a budget considering the use of so many CGI, lack of dialogue(VAs do cost money I guess) and overall short episode with 15 minutes. This series is also short in episodes with only 2, distributed over the net, which is another cheap method.
Also noticed the group who did the Op and ED, REOL is fairly new and not a big music group, which also hints to low budget.
Also never heard of the studio. So likelihood is that this will never get a sequel.

As I think, if ONA will be pleasant to the audience, there is hope for a full-fledged TV series.

New episode should be out today, but I don't know how it'll be put up on streaming sites because the main site that people download anime from is down forever now. Hopefully someone will sub it, because I really wanna know what's gonna happen.

Getting what's in your interest is the goal of negotiations, but defeating your opponent and temporarily gaining what you want will always come back to bite you in the long term. What's best for you is giving parties something in their interest.

Bit confused about this futuristic setting, one second u see a guy getting beheaded, next second you see the butcher girls dancing like idols on stage (I guess part of the opening lol). The rest of the episode seemed interesting, wonder what is going on with his future self visiting him.
