As always I just love Bones' art and animation.
I don't find the constant gags that hilarious.. maybe I'm not here for the laughs.
The characters seem like a good set-up, anticipating to see what they have install for us.
I like glasses-kun though, he's funny LOL.

It was alright so far. The characters are really interesting. Although, it was quite dull and predictable at times, and the comedy felt a little too forced.
I hope it gets better later on.

I waited too much & totally worth.

The animation, the OP, the ED, the characters, the seiyuus... everything is that I expected & I loved it. In addition, the funny side in the serie is funnier from what I remember of the manga & I like that.

Now, definitely, I love BSD more than before.

Well that was much more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be. Atsushi is literally the most precious thing ever! Super happy to hear Yuuto Uemura in an anime again, as his voice as Tsukito in Kamigami no Asobi was darling. :3

Actually makes me sad that I didn't read the manga. The anime's really good so the manga must be 😲
Well the anime's premise looks very interesting, it's got colourful art, nice characters and the story looks to be good too.
Somewhat different than the regular supowerpower anime, I don't know how but it just is.
Btw did they just show the OP, after that the preview for the next episode and after that the ED? I didn't really like the OP, I did like the ED though.
I'm glad this is a split-cour, although I wouldn't have mind a 2 cour this could probably be better.
I think this'll be a great anime. 7/10 for now!

Man, this season has been great so far. This was much better than I expected. I expected the supernatural/mystery setting but I didn't expect it to be so funny or to have such a great soundtrack. Bones delivers yet again.

Really interesting concept. I'd love to see how his power develops, because as of now it seems situational and kinda useless.

The animation is pretty good. I can't really judge the story or characters but the MC is ok. I hope he isnt whiny in the future. Also, I didn't laugh at the comedy bits. Perhaps they should cut down on that cause it feels a bit unneeded.

Comedy mystery eh?
Atsushi derp faces. Some cool backgrounds. Reminds me of Tsubasa Tiger.
Ost's good jam. Nice VAs.
Izaya became Edogawa Ranpo lol.
Miyazawa Kenji again.
Only 1/3 funny, instead shall enjoy bones animation & cool characters more.

Really entertaining. The characters all seem pretty interesting, especially the suicidal Dazai. Damn he looked so cool in that fight. The ED is also top notch. I'm looking forward to this series.

This is actually a very good anime, at least that's what i saw in the first episode.
I enjoyed a lot the few moments of comedy it had, it was funny xD
That guy trying to suicide ahaha
Will be interesting to see how he will learn to control his powers and help his team.

I really liked this anime so far. I'm about to make an amv about it actually, (youtube name LazyAnime), sorry for the advertisement as well. I like the characters. I like how the anime is funny too and has some adventure/fantasy type of theme going on. I liked the first episode because I wasn't expecting the boy to be tiger. I also like the graphics and animation of the anime! I'm excited for the next couple of episodes.

That was a nice first episode, but the comedy felt a bit... out of place. Like they didn't put it on the proper timing and I honestly didn't laugh as much. Their facial expressions are gold, though.

And yep, the episode and the OP really giving off the vibe of Kekkai Sensen xD and ofc, the seiyuus are top notch. I have a good expectation for this series, hope it won't disappoint

No Longer Human!! It's so cool that they used Dazai's actual book title for his supernatural ability. Most of the other authors and books I didn't recognize though...

Interesting first episode. I'll likely continue watching this series!

This look like it could be a fun and maybe emotional ride. Judging by the ED, it look like Dazai will become somekind of big brother to Atsushi.

I must admit, I expected something more serious from the tags on Anichart. But I don't mind. I love suicidal maniacs.

I love Bones' animation for this. It's so damned good.

The expressiveness of the designs and especially highly movable facial expressions, the really impressive "lighting", the extra attention they give the movements of the characters, etc. They're killing it with this and Academia's animation this season.

The mix of funny and serious was quite fun and even with it being more comedic than I expected it feels like you can tell it'll get more serious as it goes.

The soundtrack is off to a really good start too.

Ahhhh!! I'm honestly glad I started this anime a little late, because now I can watch episode 2 without having to wait!! I'm very impressed with this anime! More than I thought I would be. I'm very interested to learn more about the other MCs. Hopefully there will be a decemt amount of character devolpment. 5/5 for this episode. It was extremely interesting and mysterious right off the bat. Onto episode 2!

Literally right as MC fell into his chest, I said out loud, "I ship them."

And then he says that. It's like he knew what I said. Caught me off guard tbh. :P

the serious moments were great and made me want to watch more.

The comedy however....was a bit too much, like WAY too much for me. Plus I'm not sure how I feel about making suicide a joke....

I dunno, the comedy kind of ruined the flow for me, might watch one more episode and see if I want to continue, but for now it looks like I won't enjoy this too much.

That said the animation and art were lovely, the voices fit well and none of the music felt out of place, and each scene individually was okay (just not my type of humor at all) I just think the scenes need to blend a bit better together.

I actually finished the episode... but it wasn't good enough for me to want to see more. Dropped (2/10).

His clothes got shredded when he transformed... then poof! They're back!

This anime has really beautiful art. It really has good potential based on this episode.

One of the main characters is the author of No Longer Human, Dazai Osamu? Cool.

so the build up in this one is a fifty fifty. it can go down the boring path or the path of greatness. i'm curios. also that he himself was the tiger came as a surprise.

the animation is on point but i hope this won't be used as substitute for the lack of a deep refined story.
