Getting treated like a dead weight on your very first mission is beyond disrespectful lmaoo.

Shoutout to Semiu and Riyo just for being there in this episode tho.

If you think about it... Everyone from the Ground we've seen so far is a really good person (just my impression). Kinda wholesome.
And I guess that trash beasts are dead Cleaners or something.

Was this episode played at 1/3 speed? Everything feels so dragged out.

* Worthless mob enemies appear and do nothing in order to let the side characters infodump on the audience.

* New chick gets her spotlight with enough slow pace that other side characters can explain her powers.

* Giant trash beast just stands there as the low level mobs get cleaned out, as if it was some turn based RPG.

* OP main character just stood there all the time doing nothing.

If they are going to do lame info dumping, at least give more important data about this low level world, as in how do towns survive on such a hostile environment? Do they have crops? Live stock? or other kinds of basic survival assets?

Oh so there are more female cleaners than I thought, but at least most of them are male, and all of them are hot!

The character design reminds me of Tokyo Revengers, especially Enjin's tattoo (which is not fully visible yet), so I just check if the author really used to work under ToMan author, but no, it's actually FireForce author instead, and I think it's actually nice that I don't see any obvious similarity between this anime and Fire Force.

Maybe it's too soon to say but this might end up form a team of 2 guys 1 girl protagonist group, the second most popular format after 3 guys group (KnY, HeroAca)

Titans get attacked on, Trash Beasts get haircuts.

Can't get enough of how cool the monster designs are, especially with the metallic yet eeriely organic sounds those things keep making.

Semiu is about to have me acting unwise. I saw her introductory clip but in dub and her dub voice.....oh brother is all I'll say 😩

The cast is slowly getting more fleshed out and Riyo got some time to shine this week. Quite an ominous cliffhanger though.

As far as I'm aware nothing is confirmed but that does seem to be implied.
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.

Riyou screentime FINALLY. I haven’t read the manga, but I knew from then PV images I’d love her and this introduction didn’t disappoint at all. Badass, cute, that gyaru style of speaking and strong as hell? She’s perfect 🥰 😂

If I’m Rudo, I’m folding when Riyou says she wants to learn more about me lol. It was cool getting to see cleaner HQ and learning about how their organization works. It’s crazy that for Rudo and people in the slums of the sphere, they had no idea this entire world existed right below them. Towns, cities, economic systems, an entirely different world. I really love stories with expansive world building like this.

Black women in anime>>>>>

Also peep what she’s reading, lmao. I know what you are Semiu.

Holy shit, Riyou’s fight against the trash beast was insane. If that’s the sort of production values we’re gonna have consistently sign me tf up. Clearly the beasts are evolving though and I feel like they’re not just naturally doing it. Probably something to do with the spherites. Surely not a coincidence that someone’s after Rudo now too either.

Also kinda taking the kaiju no. 8 route here we see, one guy gets powers and all the normal trash beasts are now becoming stronger and abnormal.

It's nice the new girl got a chance to shine but did we really have to go the performance anxiety route for the MC? It was bad enough in Kaiju 8 but at least that only really lasted an episode, hopefully this is the same.
Last episode he was fine but now it's "duh how do my powers work again", it just leaves a bitter taste in the mouth is all.

Totally TRASH episode!!1?!1! (for the lame pun probably already made a thousand times 😬).

This show is very Shounen (obviously because it is one) so has a bit of the "need to overcome my [insert anxiety here] to win this fight!" stuff going on, but I enjoyed the fight between the scissors girl and the Trash Beast, and interesting twist that a vital instrument went into forming an extra strong beast.

Also loved the magazine that the receptionist was reading 😆

Riyo is so cool and she was playing with Rudo's hair the whole time..cute 😭😭❤️
Semiu was going through a magazine with hot girls lol
She looks so badass. I wonder what she saw in Rudo through her eyes that caught her off guard.
The animation for Rio's fight was awesome. The girl is beautiful and kick some real ass. It's a shame that Rudo wasn't able to show off infront of Rio like he did with Enjin and ended up being saved everytime. The supporters are so good. Their physical strength is no joke. Can't wait for the next episode..

Rudo ffs put the fucking mask on.

The humor is not doing it for me so I hope it doesn't become recurrent.
Overall not a bad episode, standard shounen, but I respect the author going directly to the "he is the chosen one" display instead of beating around the bush time and time again until suddenly your MC is the new coming of christ's equivalent in that world.

Awesome to see other Cleaners and their Vital Instruments at work. The girl with the scissors is really cute, and she clearly digs Rudo. Lady with glasses was a babe too. I guess some Vital Instruments aren't used as weapons, but instead tools.

Looks like Rudo is starting to face reality, that the world is a much more complicated and tougher place. Only working with others will he actually be able to get anywhere.

There's no way I would have noticed this without you pointing this out. Definitely anime only, I didn't see it in the manga either 😭 She clearly covers it up with her arm here, I can barely tell what it is

Riyo is cool. Using scissors with your legs? that's a new one and very different. Seimu also seems interesting. From her reading materials to what she apparently thinks about the other element of Rudo's capabilities. And lots of other cleaners that we got a glimpse of, but haven't really been introduced to. Fun stuff

That's a unique way to fight with a pair of scissors.

A new kind of trash beast starts appearing as soon as the MC joins. How very Shounen-like.

Oh wow they actually animated some of the trash beasts, and it looked awesome! It makes me wish they could have done this for all of them but I understand why they don’t. It looked quite epic when Riyo delivered the finishing blow too, that moment right there has me excited for future badass moments, I’m glad Riyo was the first to give us something like that. And Riyo’s showing in general was very cool, I love the way she uses scissors with her feet to fight, very unique, I guess there was a reason she was playing with Rudo’s hair before lol, yeah I’m definitely gonna need more of her going forward.

Ngl tho, wasn’t the biggest fan of Rudo seeing himself as a burden, like bro you haven’t been around these guys long enough to be one lol, and I’m sure he’ll learn his power better with time so it’s just a temporary thing anyway, but then again I guess seeing all these badasses around you while you’re sitting around twiddling your thumbs can get you down. But hey Rudo did at least have one cool moment when he saved one of the supporters, he wasn’t completely useless here.

Riyo's leg scissor style is reminding me of MGS4 Raiden and Bayonetta. Cool AF. I really don't care for Rudo at this point. Typical anxiety issue MC. I hope he can be less useless sooner rather than later.

Great ep

We got a black queen (Semiu) in the show, that's tuff🤩

She definitely saw sum crazy within Rudo. She gotta be cultured with that 18+ magazine that she had on her.

Not Riyo thinking the small mobs would be the only thing there 😂

Nice to see Rudo trying, despite being useless rn. It'll pay off later on.

Riyo tuff asl and her fighting style is much more aesthetically pleasing then another scissor user like Ryuko from Kill la Kill.

I wonder who that guy with the hood is at the end?

Still not in love with the character designs but getting accustomed to it. That was a great fight, turns out the core of the giant trash beast is a vital instrument. Hmm. Someone is creating them. Why? We'll find out later.
