| Every character talks fast and there is no room to breathe between dialogues. I'm all up for dialogue heavy anime but this is too tiring to watch especially because they talk a lot and say very little. It just isn't as engaging as the fast speech in say Tatami Galaxy or the heavy dialogue in Monogatari which is a shame because I was really looking forward to watching this and I like the op and art style. |
| I love everything about this anime |
      |
| Yes, but I actually like how weird the conversations feel. It's a little disorienting, which I think fits the show's fast pace, surreal world and comedic tone. As for the characters not saying anything of substance, I also don't mind that in a gag anime. There are a lot of other things to like about this show. If you're looking for good dialogue, I'm afraid this show is not really trying on that front and may not be for you... But who knows what will happen in the later episodes. |
| yes because their talking is the weirdest shit in thus series. |
| Well, I just enjoy the sound of the voice of the seiyuu who played Chisato in Lycoris Recoil regardless of the content and substance thereof of what she's actually saying. But yes, I know what you mean. I love series with extensive and detailed dialogue on pretty much any topic or range of topics, but the pacing of the dialogue can be a little too hurried at times. It may even be the case if I were watching something in my own native language of English and the pacing of spoken dialogue was the same, but when you add in the foreign language element which necessitates the reading of subtitles, then it's just another extra minor layer on top of that. In 99.9% of works that wouldn't be a problem (have no problem reading subs, have been watching everything created in a foreign language in subs for many years now since I prefer to watch everything in its native language, and it's to a point where I often enable subtitles of whatever I'm watching even when they're speaking English), but if it ever was an issue, this would be the 0.1% standout example of something that would be it. But honestly, it was worst and more of an issue in the first episode when the burden of establishing the world the most thoroughly yet compacted in a format of around 20 minutes was the most heavy. A lot of exposition required for the worldbuilding (or not "required", but it was with the way they wrote and chose to tell the story). The second episode was a little more relaxed with a few more breathers in that respect. And the third episode which just aired was the best yet. If the pacing balanced with the amount of dialogue included was more in line with the third episode for the rest of the season/series, then it would be perfectly fine and even out quite nicely. You'd just have a heavily front-loaded first episode or two and then it will even out and can coast on exploring some of those concepts and circumstances mentioned in the premiere episode. So yeah, while I see what you're saying and did notice it, it doesn't come across to me as that big of a deal or any form of dealbreaker. At worst I just would rewind or revisit a scene after the fact (even after the episode completely ends - even the next day, next week, or whenever if need, because why not?) to go back if I felt there was any missed spoken information or conveyance of some detail or nuance of a scene. |
| "Talk a lot and say very little" describes it perfectly. This anime reminds me of Odd Taxi: a mystery anime in which the banter between the characters is more important than the mystery itself since it makes up 90% of the anime; the difference is that the banter in Odd Taxi is excellent, whereas in Shuumatsu Train... I can see they're trying to make it quirkier than the average anime but the execution is lacking. |

| I agree with you 100%. It's so annoying. I feel like watching Machikado Mazoku, Saiki K or Teekyuu. |
 |
| i hope the writers can have them argue about something that isnt money 🤦♂️ |

Nyamaste said: Definitely don't watch tatami galaxy, or night is short walk on girl. I've already seen them and I love them |
| I haven't thought it was fast at all and felt the conversations were natural maybe you just need to read faster? |
| Yea I agree, Idk if that's the tone they are going with the anime but I'm not a fan of it. |
| “Think not of your future or your past, just your current self. Think about the now and focus, then throw out your very identity” |
| That's the best part about it imo. |
| That's the best part of this Anime. |
 |
| Teenage girls can talk fast for real. |
| yeah the pacing is too fast, almost like they're purposefully annoying the viewer or clueless about dialogue pacing, there's no breathing room between dialogue lines |
 |
| I in turn hate when characters in a show are slow talkers. It feels so sluggish it makes me yawn. Shuumatsu Train banter is perfectly fine for me. The girls are quick to reply and i love that every bit of screen time is put to a good use. |
| tatami galaxy and monogatari have the crappiest and most pretentious dialogues in history of anime, that comparison is awful |
| :v |
| It's hilarious and serves well to the story wdym |
