| Omg 😲. Another Haoliner Animation. LooKS interesting |
| People really dont like psychology and edgy anime huh. This and ousama game has pretty low scores. Cant take mal ratings seriously now. Lol |
"When you made this thread, I cried and screamed" -Swagernator 2017 |
| The theme of the show works well with the 'Horror' tag. I'm optimistic about the quality of the plot and characters. On the other hand, the animation isn't so good even though it's adequate. |
| Brutal...not bad. This one won't ever see the light of the positive score; but will probably be the guilty pleasure of the season. Still it's funny that Tencent produced King's Avatar, which is about pro gamers spending their lives in front of pcs; then this one that is basically a boot camp of internet junkies xD |
| This anime has something that hook you in, but its definetely not that good either, I was thinking of droping it withing the first minutes, but after the appeareance of Shin everything got more interesting now. I guess I'll give it some episodes before I decided to follow or not |

| A great story idea and OST! Reminds me of my favorite series, Btooom! and probably has an air of Kakegurui. Animation interesting, but spoiled using real images at first, although that was to show the idea of reality. It's no use in all this mystery, only with this episode I predicted everything that will happen. I hated this. |
 |
| hmm at the beginning when the anime showed its style felt like when it was weakest. after, when i loosened up, it felt better. the fact that the people were sent there by their parents kills the feel, but maybe that's because we don't know enough yet. still, i think ousama game had a better first episode since it wasn't trying to take itself too seriously |
| That moment when you search up internet bootcamp and turns out its literally happening in China.. Jesus christ. |
  |
| Pretty okay... Comedic moments were pretty bad. Should have kept the atmosphere from start to finish So is MC gonna bang that girl next episode or what? |
| It kind of reminds me of Btooom, especially with the way Hibiki was sent There. Haoliner's animation is getting better, so I was pleasantly surprised by how it looked. |
°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° |
| Good 1st episode How the hell this is rated only 6 ? I was going to avoid it because of the rating, but it turned out to be good anime |
MonoJuMal said: Nah, Centaur no Nayami is probably their best work quality-wise (animation). The anime in this one was really low-tier, same as their other works Gin no Guardian and Hitori no ShitaIt kind of reminds me of Btooom, especially with the way Hibiki was sent There. Haoliner's animation is getting better, so I was pleasantly surprised by how it looked. |
ThatCynicalOtaku said: no man its based off of real camps in china that actually kill some kids that go to themThere are plenty of corrupt institutions, but come on, this might as well be satire; it's ridiculous. |
| Eh ... can't get behind the concept, seems just too ridiculous and over the top. Reminds me of Rainbow a bit ... but with none of the good qualities it had. Not sure wether to drop it now, or give it one more ep ... |
 |
| Seems more like a Shounen than a Horror, to be honest. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
ThatCynicalOtaku said: yup its real, people are giving this anime way too much flak for no reason. Definitely going to get better if you ask meFirstly, I have to thank you for providing the link, without resorting to name-calling, or anything of the sort. Secondly...wow. I thought this anime was exagerrating, being edgy, but Evil or Live's representation of these boot-leg camps seems...damn accurate. |
| Internet Addiction hunh... I PROBABLY HAVE THAT. Nah, seriously though, if people get THAT addicted to video games and start actin like that, they need to get some help. Can't say I enjoyed this though, it feels like an educational video trying to teach people that too much games and internet is extremely dangerous and will corrupt children if they engage in the activities for more than an hour a day. But in DARK AND GRITTY anime form. I went in with no expectations, and I plan to lower them more for the next episode, and I guess I'll see where it goes from there. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Looks like this is the most-hated anime of the season. |
| Quite interesting, could be much better without stupid jokes. Seeing some addicted young retards either with their mobiles or with their tablets make me thinks that this is not a bad idea(of course not that harsh). I liked the beginning with real photography shots, was quite abrasive and dense. DuoraDoll said: it feels like an educational video trying to teach people that too much games and internet is extremely dangerous and will corrupt children if they engage in the activities for more than an hour a day. But in DARK AND GRITTY anime form. Huh? How so? Our Mc was showns as a real addict, not going to eat dinner because he is busy, acting agresssively to any kind of interruption, even his own mother. He even thought he is transported to video game world. EgregorMason said: Can someone explain me how the generic piece of shit harem-shounen with the chill but unintentional/intentional MC in pervert situations or the MC who is a crap but gets powerful/ or its OP as fuck always get a score above 7 and this show that is at least, very original has a round 6 ? Great question. One reason is the origin of the manga. I am pretty sure, cause Japan Master Race. Second one is that some people are offended by the topic. |
| It's so bad in every way. From animation until stupid characters. Story seems fresh but for now I received 20 mins of crying protagonist and evil instructors. Sorry I said fresh? Maybe on idea. But that's all for now. I will give a chance for next two episodes. I hope it will be only better. Very bag start. |

| Interesting concept. Somewhat poor execution. Coming to a society near you! |

Might just be the timing of me watching this really, recently saw a video talking about a movie where some teen guy gets addicted to porn, and it leads to him become a social outcast and nearly committing suicide. It was stupid, over the top, and kind of funny because of how bad it was. Now I'm here, and seeing the characters somehow believing that they ended up in a parallel world and such, combined with them being taken to some correctional facility where they are beaten and stuff just kind of feels farfetched to me. At least that's my opinion, and as I have lived a pretty sheltered life in the country, I can't say my knowledge of the outside world is that good, so I don't know how something like this would be handled at all. |

| This was a promising start. I look forward for the next episode(s). xD This pretty much remind me about the camps in China from which I've only read on newspapers, ajjfhjfkd. But yeah, let's see how this anime turns out to be, but I'm at moment really convinced about it, haha. |
| That was... really dumb and boring. I'm starting to think these edgelord shows aren't for me anymore. </3 |

Definitely going to get better if you ask me I see... Knowing this is actually pretty accurate, and not an exaggeration is... honestly I don't have words to describe it, the best I can say is its messed up. I really ain't got anything to say to this, just surprised stuff like this is actually a thing. Thank you for posting that link, having people willing to spread information like this is really helpful. |
| A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| So apparently from an article this is based off of an actual place in china where they abduct kids to the school and abuse them because of the addiction...thats why there is real ppl in the OP and i think thats why this anime is terrifying. |
| Great episode, the concept is good. cant wait for next episode. |
| This anime, as a lot of people have recognized, is bad in animation, story, protagonist, etc... This "school" is more of an internment camp than a boot camp, which is what made this the most uncomfortable for me. |
| Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. - WB Yeats |
| Granted this is not great, but I wanna see more. |
| Why is there no characters In my anime list of this anime? |
