| Tsukimiya and Takeru has chemistry in this first episode so I'm really curious how they'll develop their relationship. The monster designs and chereography looks sharp. The setting is kinda interesting I guess, given the way the timeline works. This still seems like a very lighthearted anime though. And Takeru is bit of a hothead, with a lot of flaws. Might have potential, we'll see. Hell of a fight for the first episode though. |

| David Production's 1st original anime since the studio's founding in September 2007, and it just HAS to be an Isekai...because, of course. Who-ya Extended with quite the OP, it's good...I guess? The lone wolf delinquent of Takeru Narihira, thinking that he's found quite the character of a mysterious girl that he's down bad for, it lives rent-free in his dreams, even as he attempts to fight off a gang and escape scot-free to find his dream girl. Well, that dream got true when he needs to save a fox creature, which ends up almost Truck-kun-ing Takeru to death, only to fall off a cliff...and meet her once again. However, Takeru finding himself back again, but trying to survive in the foreign land of Denji Heian-kyo where Date A Live-ish Black Mists are always recurring in the city, and monsters going loose destroying the human crystals, though for some reason, Takeru would just not die, and onmyoji mecha shinigami pilots of Yara and Atsunaga are the way to defeat the Oni, with Abe no Seimei leading the charge. At least Takeru and the girl of Tsukimiya made amends, though the Centennial Pandemonium ritual that he interfered in her job, doesn't bode well with the higher-ups. Once again, another black mist on the same job and features, though Takeru is to save Tsukimiya out of where she is in the dark space, eventually fighting against the Oni with his bare might. And the Narihita family motto sure works wonders for him to transform into a shinigami and defeat the Oni, which is quite the intrigue, only except that Takeru misjudged his situation to instant death..and then Returning by Death...? 9Lana's ED is decent too... An Isekai that tries to be a lot of things familiar but different? Hmm... |

At the first, Takeru is chased by a monster, but he is saved by a girl with big oppai. The girl named Tsukimiya has a fox behind her oppai. i just like this how Takeru confesses to Tsukimiya. I thought it was a true first love, but Takeru gets caught by some thugs, lol. Takeru easily defeats the punks and tries to ride a scooter, and yappp, truck-kun curse, and Takeru switches into isekai. I just didn't expect that the girls he meet before is a miko girl, Tsukimiya is like a dancer? What is Denji Heiankyou? did i miss something. I like Tsukimiya's character design, especially how Takeru falls between two oppai mweheheh. As for the CG and monster designs, it's not bad, and the battle effects aren't too detailed, but still enjoyable. Takeru is interested in Onmyoji. i am grateful for Shino-chan's dirty gaze; no matter what, Takeru has to get involved in the fight. I hope Takeru can master Onmyoji. I didn't expect that Takeru, who was stabbed, could come back to life. There’s a woman he can only meet in dreams, and the protagonist awakens his power solely to protect her after finally meeting her. It's very simple and good i think. |

Decent enough first episode, nothing really stands out, the pacing is oddly too fast but the ending explains why it is structured that way. Hopefully the next episode slows down everything, starts building up characters and explains more about the lore and the world. More importantly the two main characters relationships, hopefully it goes somewhere. |
| I thought the show had it's ups and downs but it's very well animated and enough to keep me intrigued, the ending kinda upset me because I am not a huge fan of "The Subaru Affect" |

| This summer is ridiculous, even got the re: series rebirth. |
 |
| This kind of reminds me of sakura wars for some reason but anyway, they kind of crammed a lot in this from mecha, yankee, time travel, returning via death, action looked like Gridman and what not which weren't bad but I also didn't find it interesting enough to continue. |
 |
| My first isekai of the summer season is here, and damn, it looks good. Cue the myth, the legend: TRUCK-KUN!!!  Yup. He's not wrong. She's beautiful  |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |

| @Syureria If you called THAT a fox, please make an appointment at an eye clinic ASAP. That looks like a fat hamster or chinchilla. LOL |

| Delinquent isekai should be cool, right? Almost skipped out on this one and well this is definitely one hell of a mashup of all kind of tropes and elements. I kinda like the vibe and the Re:Zero esque ending made me curious, so I stick with it for another episode or two, even tho it probably will become a huge messwe're lowkey already there |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I liked it a lot, I was worried it wouldn't click with me since I'm not really into mecha, I guess they are more like exo suits or whatever but I just really like that setting / theme around Ying Yang / Octagon (Bagua? Trigrams?) / 5 elements / Onmyouji , etc. (I wish I knew what is the proper name for it) and more importantly 9Lana is doing the ED. |
| There is a lot to like about this new season anime. The animation, the music, the fight choreography with a blend of 2D and 3D. But Takeru is a bit of a challenging character. It's clear he is suffering from Main Character syndrome and is down bad for the girl of his literal dreams. Yet despite the male lead I did enjoy the first episode so I am going to give it a chance. 8/10 for the production values -1 for the MC, 7/10. |
| Looks cool, alternate past, Takeru living under his motto and his waifu, plus mechs and life restarts. |
| Seems like He can time-travel back in time if He's dead |

| How did they manage to make an original anime that feels like a bad adaptation a non-existent manga? I thought the first 5 minutes were too fast, but it turns out that's true of the whole episode... They didn't need to force that twist to be at the end of episode 1, they could have easily made 2 episodes out of this. I feel like people these days are afraid that their series will get lost in the sea of what's coming out, so they make sure they show the main premise ASAP. But that just makes what you made worse for no good reason. If you structure it properly, the story can still be engaging while you set up the twist, and when the twist does happen, the misdirection makes it even better. To be clear, I don't hate this show as is, provided they demonstrate soon that they do have a vision and they don't just intend to appeal to the masses. |
| It was interesting enough foe me to want to watch another episode. Takeru is pretty reckless but seems to have a good heart, he tried to save people. It seems that hew might have some kind of rewind ability like Subaru from Re:Zero has. He definitely died but is back again. |

| They mixed every anime trope known to man in less than 30 minutes!. We got delinquents, we got Isekai by truck kun (with a twist), we got family motos, fantast world, Empyreal China (could be Kyoto but the aesthetics felt more Chinese to me) with potential court politics, Kaijus, Mecha, walled city, and returning by death!!! All the characters look like they are visiting from different anime for a special collab. |

| This gets a +1 from me just off the fact that it's an isekai that's not set in a medieval fantasy RPG type setting lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| They simply couldn't watch to switch to CGI. Sound design is off as well. Concept however is not as bad. |
| It seems to be not bad but I feel this episode is on a non-stop action, like a permanent rush or something like that |
 |
| I would say I liked the character designs but the mechs or whatever you want to categorize them as look pretty awful. Whatever the lead turned into also looked unappealing to see on the screen. |
| Why are ratings already tanking after 1 episode, I don’t understand MAL preliminary scoring |
| What was this? Kaiju No. 8 with a time leap component? Oni No. 8. |
| It can be a great show even without much hype. I like the world setting and power system. So far, not a bad show to watch! |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
