How can I possibly address potential 'red flags' that you didn't even mention? You were only referring to her clothing when you first quoted me, unless you are also taking the "Complete asshole towards girls" part as something that will "make sense" later, which wouldn't make sense because if that's the major plot points you spoke of, then this anime might seem worse than I thought. Anyway, I do hope this gets better like you say it is. All I know, is that this is somewhat related to an old Hentai. In regards to the hentai, the hentai basically was a remix of the H-scenes within the game, which make up less than .1% of the entire script. |
| It's a shame the main complaints seem to mostly be that Takuya actually has confidence instead of not being able to socialize like a lot of other anime protagonists. Although, I wouldn't even say Yu-No has much porn to begin with. The h-scenes were few, with hours of story in between. Not like Bible Black or School Days where the h-scenes make up the plot. |

| I recall 5pb. announcing the vn remake to come out on Steam to tie in with the anime. It might be a good idea to disregard this abomination and wait for the vn. We've all watched enough vn adaptations to know that it's going to be another good story butchered for the sake of milking a well-known title. Spare yourself some major disappointment and move along. |

I feel the exact same way but for the "new" designs painfully lazy generic bland anime designs. I'd take the old school VN or OVA style over this garbage (in freaking 2019 for a classic series sigh) I guess that's fine. But I'd rather take bland and at least decently proportioned designs over out of place disproportionated to the point where the adults look extremely ridiculous levels. Mainly because at the moment I'm learning about anatomy (yes I draw by the way) so this KINDA hurts my eyes in the VN old style. Which is funny considering most of the time I ain't bug by old series designs but this one actually got me on my nerves. Like at worst, the new designs might be considered lazy and bland, but they're not hurting my eyes. |

| I like it. The idea of plot looks kind of similar to what they are doing in DC Comics/Warner Bros with The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. And this show got this vibe like Bunny Girl Senpai even MC has some phrases similar to rascal Sakuta. I will definitly watch whole season and then rate it, also I like that they introduced a lot of women here. That's good start point. |

We've all watched enough vn adaptations to know that it's going to be another good story butchered for the sake of milking a well-known title. Spare yourself some major disappointment and move along. With all due respect, you've got absolute no right or basis to call this an abomination at this point in time unless you've read the source material. It's absolutely ludicrous that you would judge something immediately without any experience in it. Just because most visual novel adaptations are abominations doesn't mean this will be. I've actually read the source and this first episode was an outstanding adaptation of the prologue, cutting out unnecessary things in order to get to the parts that matter faster and give them more time. |
Beatrice-KF said: Don't get me wrong, I'm okay with normal dirty talk. But here, they are going out of their way to add unwarranted "jokes". Believe it or not, they cut out about 90% of the unwarranted jokes from the prologue. The VN was much worse in that aspect and was one of the few things that annoyed me about it. I'm liking how much the anime has scaled back on the crude humor! There are much less jokes in the anime so far then there were in the visual novel. |

I think they cut just the right amount to fit the prologue into one episode. The episode ended just about where I figured it would end, and that saves a good amount of space for the rest of the story compared to if it spaced the prologue out into two episodes. I can't remember fully, but wasn't the part where Takuya jumped out in his underwear only mentioned in passing in the game? I think it was good for them to show that rather than to just mention it like how I recall it being. |

Yeah, it was this:  Also, Kanna had transferred in two months before rather than during the 'present time' as shown in the episode, which I think was an alright change. Was just easier to label her as a new transfer student then waste time explaining how she transferred in 2 months prior. |
dragonshade said: LoganMcClure21 said: Why is the show at a 6.85 rating I thought that the first episode was really good MAL kids generally have shit taste if you haven't already figured out already. I don’t think so. As someone who went into this without knowing anything, it wasn’t a very good 1st episode. It felt rushed, low-quality production and characters, too many cliches and well, not good overall. I’m just being objective here. |
| Hm, while I really liked that they skipped some non-substantial parts of the prologue (overly long and hit-or-miss sequences in my opinion), they still left quite a bit of those in, for a normal "significant content per episode" ratio, and that kinda made the later part of the episode feel rushed as a result (hopefully properly revisited later on). It's not like the cast will even be properly introduced (much less characterized outside of archetypical classic eroge behavior) with just the prologue, much like it wasn't the case with the VN, so most of the early interactions could have been implemented as minor flashbacks for their respective "story arcs", and instead have dedicated another couple of minutes to the actual story elements. But that's just my opinion on that one, unless it was to be getting some extra run time to fit most of the content in. In that case, I bet I wasn't the only one hoping for this to be an hour-special first episode adapting the whole prologue, but anyway. It still is a bit too early to judge if this will or not be a competent adaptation in the end. So far it's okay and decent enough imo, I just hope they keep the infodumps and all the major plot developments and characterization in. |

verry interesting |
| I like that the OP song sounded like it came from Steins;Gate, but alas it's not sung by Itou Shizuka. I'll have to look at what other works Asaka had done since I'm curious about it. It hopped from scene to scene bit too much to properly invest myself into the atmosphere and setting, but I do like that the effort was made to show the action of other characters concurrent with what the MC is doing. It's amusing to know that everyone has their own schedule and operates outside of what the MC does. First thing that comes to my mind would be Disgaea Infinite; by simply choosing different actions and places to be, the outcome will change despite the other character's schedule -who aren't being acted upon- continuing to be constant. Yuuki still looks like a dork but his personality hasn't changed; he retains his inner bro. Pretty sure his new appearance will grow on me as time goes on. The site foreman's stride was really weird, whether it was simply matter of depth perception or lack or forcefulness in his animation, I assume an air of seriousness was to be portrayed but it didn't work out that way. I found it quite comedic that the BGM was lighthearted when YU-NO disappeared like pixie dust. Overall a decent start. |

| I like the MC. He has more personality in one episode than the typical bland MCs we see every season. I'm going to start reading the VN alongside this seeing as people mentioned it was one of the biggest VN of its days and inspired Steins Gate |
| trashy oh boy, wasn't sure why the MC was such a perv or how every interaction with all the ladies had some kind of sexual undertone but it makes sense now. is the source legit or i'm watching this for the "PLOT" this a 2 cour so hoping i'll get something out of the ride besides a slight boner |

And that's the joke. It's not the first time I see that kind of gags. I don't know... at least when I was watching the episode, I've not noticed anything offensive. The joke of undressing in class was something ridiculous for the fact that they let him do it and... just that. I don't deny it, maybe I've not paid enough attention to certain dialogues in order to notice a mean context. Maybe is just me, but he looks like a likeable main character. The only weird thing for me is how the girls are presented, but knowing how the visual novel's prologues works... it's just routine. |

| Hoping this doesn't just end up as another forgettable visual novel adaption of a so called popular, renown visual novel. Visually, this was uninspiring and bland, especially so for the first episode and the character designs are so visual novel standard despite having been updated and being animated. Honestly, it feels like I'm watching a typical visual novel adaption back if it was adapted in the early 2000's. The story is the only thing holding onto my interest, hopefully enough not to drop it within the next couple episodes. |
| MAL says it's gonna be 26 episodes.. Subarashiiiiiii |
 |
| First drop of the season. Very generic/uninteresting all around. |
| After seeing it's cover thought it'd be one of those "dad died and now I've to find a wife" stories, not what I was expecting but it wasn't bad I guess. Really doubt this can be better than Steins:gate and even Re Zero, though. Nayout said: I regret to say but the art of the visual novels of the 90s has always seemed horrible to me and is one of the reasons why I almost do not play novels of those years Same here, I like more the ones on the right. |
 |
| @SparkleDuck @HisokaxMeruem Wow, why the hell are you both even doing watching anime? When @Tokoya said something about ANN and feminazis thought it would be ridiculous cause didn't find anything offensive, but there are actually people doing it, holy shit! You people don't belong here, seriously, there are a lot of characters and situations far worse than this, lmao. Honestly I was thinking it was generic garbage and wouldn't rate it above 5 if it kept up like this, but people like you are the reason I end up giving anything above 7 or even a 10 to shitty shows. |

Nayout said: What is the surprise that this comes from a hentai? Fate started being a hentai (which was later removed in the Realta Nua version) Utawarerumono started being a hentai and the same with Tears to Tiara. And by the way, some should see this lol Pretty good trailer, I would read the VN if the remake got out sooner. Sadly I can't really stand the old style so I won't read the original. If the anime starts to look super rushed I'll probably put it on hold and read the VN. |
| Surprised at the low score, I enjoyed the first episode and will keep watching. Story is interesting enough and the MC is pretty likeable imo. |
| Gonna give it a few more episodes, but probably gonna drop it. Bad animation, boring characters, main idea already done to death. |

I'm telling you I don't see the insults, that what you find offensive is nothing. And no, I didn't enjoy it, as I said it was garbage but not bad enough for me to drop it yet. Also it's not like I'm a "non-pussy who likes asshole characters", I dropped Ookami shoujo and Citrus because of that. |

| Ahhhh, look at all these confused viewers... To all my fellow boomers here, just imagine if these kids ended up watching the hentai OVA from 20 years ago instead of this 2018 TV Series. Nobody knows what confusing is until they've watched that masterpiece. |
| Looks like a typical trashy sci-fi anime. Blatantly forgettable character design. Completely boring visual. The only thing I'm slightly interested in is the hinted romance between the hero with the older women around him - but I'm quite sure nothing will happen in such a mediocre show. |
 |
| First impression is pretty underwhelming, I don't think this anime is gonna be great but hell I just watch it out of curiosity/boredom |

| Looks pretty generic. Was intrigued about the parallel worlds at first but it turned out not very interesting and the abundance of girls is such a red flag. I can see why this could be exciting as a game but it's just not working as anime so far. Also, there was barely any music and the pacing is so slow, it was really boring to watch. Wasshio said: Fair. But on the other hand this distinction really outdated itself pretty badly. Especially with particular body proportions that seem extremely off-putting. Besides I'm more into the new designs because they seem to be more proportionated and have more of a proper modeling than the OG designs but this is just my own two cents. You know, it actually was off-putting to watch something so screaming of an old-fashioned story with such modern designs. I'm not aware of the original or previous version but maybe if they kept these designs it would be at least charming in a way. |

Funnily I watched the hentai before playing the game, although I already knew about the game since I like to keep up with retro video games. Anyways, I watched the hentai first, and it melted my mind so much that I ended up playing the game the next day then spend a whole week playing roughly 10 hours a day until I got to the end. Edit: But since I've only said positive things so far, I suppose I'll mention the things I didn't like. I felt like they shouldn't have cut out Takuya looking for Ayumi after he woke up with the headache. I think they could have maybe shown him running to a few locations calling out for her instead of cutting straight to him going home. While I warmed up to the redesigns, I still have a hard time fully liking Takuya's redesign. In the original, his hair was short in the back and longer in the front, and he wore jeans and a denim jacket. I think that design would help fit with his more confident class-clown archetype. If not the denim jacket, then at least keep the hair like the hentai did (the hentai got rid of the jacket but kept the hair.) I just feel like they made him look a little too serious, when really he's more like a Joey Wheeler from Yu-Gi-Oh. |

PD:seriously, if people now have problems with the protagonist it is better that they leave the anime now lol |

x2kill4 said: for the first episode begin from the normaly student school life,, for me its kinda boring from first 10 minutes ,, but next minute left there is a mistery waiting to solve,, paralel world, another world concept huh.. and the device that can manipulating the time but not the history its gonna be interesting,, Yeah, tbh I would consider the mystery genre to be more fitting than the drama one in the tags. Something mildly funny I noticed about the older hentai adaptation was that MC spends most of his time going "wth is going on around here?!" or "I just don't get it!" and it's especially funny in the English dub cause of the obvious cringe of 90s voice acting. |

But considering how modern designs are, chances are these designs will only limit even more and won't adapt into the current day and age of how the industry does. Take the example of Arifureta's designs before the change of staff for instance. Where the designs for that series looked like it came out from 2003 and in some way it didn't worked well because those types of designs are outdated. I'm not saying that the designs can't work in anime form, they can. If anything I was just criticizing the old design sprites from the Visual Novel at face value which admittedly... I shouldn't have done that. I still don't like them though |
