| An OK start, expecting EMT Squared for a limited budget production, only commendable being the opening fight scene was great for their level. Otherwise, usual cutting of source materials to fit within the budget. The greatest man, with the lousiest girl. And his job is to harvest and nurture her of her powers. If not, it's to assassinate or be assassinated. Can already see this being quite generic and rushed (they don't even bother explaining why), but I'll hold my thoughts on that matter since it's only Episode 1. |

| Well, mm seems to be interesting, he had a strong start with that battle and the scene against the scarecrows was fine, I liked the brightness of the eyes and the power, although what was in the middle I guess was normal for an introductory episode. I am very curious about the world in which they live, a lamp and as I understood it never dawns ... interesting could be the story behind it. However, it seemed to me very hasty the decision of the type of defending that girl, when minutes before he had said that he could not stand or see her, that all his efforts would be in vain ... to later betray everything he believes, betray his pride As a post-murderer of an unknown girl, I suppose the prana she uses comes from him. Let's see how the series progresses and if they give us more and better reasons than just to see her not asking for help for which the killer helps |
| A LOT was cut out- which hurt the pacing and motivation BIG time. I hope that the following episodes aren't so rushed. :( |

sunimi__ said: I feel like the pacing was definitely rushed in comparison to the manga adaptation and light novel which was a let down. Also because of the episode's time frame limit some little details were left out, the animation is very pretty imo and much much better than I expected so there's that at least. The reason why it was a bit of a mess when it came to the pace might be because the first episode has 7 ANIMATION DIRECTORS (why even). I hope they explain later on why Kufa decided to save Melida more in depth and that they slow down the pacing because they literally fit everything in the first episode and I really want to like the series because I actually did enjoy the manga a lot. I agree I like it a lot. Great chaacters and cute intections, too bad they censored her drinking poison from his mouth or whatever that liquid was... I like Merida's back story. |
| As others said, the PACING WAS REALLY OFF. After reading and liking the manga I was eager to see the adaptation but this was a bit disappointing. They cut of some of the comedy scenes that made Kufa more than a 'cool' and a robotic character, and the end of the episode was just.... They cut almost two whole chapters of the manga. I was left speachless. I hope they add some flashbacks about it in the nexts episodes or else I will be clueless as to why they cut them off. So guys, if this hasn't improved in some episodes and you kind of liked the concept or the general feel of the anime, give a change to manga or the LN. |

| Seems interesting, I think I'm going to continue to watch this series. |
| "My Ruttle Rady..." MC looks like Kirito. MC is apparently a Lolicon lol Main Heroine almost falls to her death but MC saves her then they look cute together and stuff (Cliche as fuck) She runs off and does some dumb shit to prove her strength (Cliche as fuck) -Some guy often pressures her like this to awaken her ability -So who's idea was it for her to do the dumb shit then? -Wooden stick for helpless girl with no powers. I know I wont be getting any help so I'm just gonna take a stick with me. OR if she was pressured into it by the guy, Give her a stick and leave her to die. (The stick broke) There wasn't supposed to be anyone there. All I see is Plot Convenience... Magic Users are Noble -STOP- That seems like the whole convenient excuse it took to get this Anime into development. Let's show how hard it can be for a girl from a Noble family who everyone has high expectations from. To me, it very much seems like that was the only way they could do it. Make people of "Noble" blood wield magic. |

| welp i hope this show will put some shame not only on Fairy Gone but on Val x Love |

| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| Man I was excited for this after reading the start of the manga awhile back but uhh it felt so rushed and Melida is made out as being rather pathetic compared to her in the manga.. |
 |
| IMO this ain't good or bad just plain boring, dropping it because I doubt the 3 episode rule will help it at all, will check back to see if I'm wrong though. Also the world building on this thing is beyond stupid "the whole world is fuck so we trapped ourselves up on this pretty chandelier where each light is a city, what space for food? yeah the market down the street, eternal darkness means you gotta create all light? we have street lights for that" ugh and I bet there are even more and worse things like the class system they got going. |

| "oh my gosh, these monsters are beating the shit outta me, gotta tell them how i treasure these locks and how it reminds me of my mom, maybe one of them has a hair fetish and spare me" lmaoooooo that was a total cringefest. not also sure how did the assassin had a change of heart, it didnt convice me at all, there was no impact. episode felt rushed too. maybe im giving it another episode to prove me wrong but this one seems forgettable and common at this point |
| why am i so well drawn into time travel stories? do i really have that many regrets? |
| Long time no see kirito... |

Mockman said: sunimi__ said: Definitely not the worst anime of the season, lol. It's only been like 1 episode, geez. How about worst first episode of the season then? Or year? This was pretty dreadful. Sure, it could get better — anything could — but I don't know why it would. The things done here seem like deliberate choices and are likely to infect the entire season. And if some of the positive comments I've read aren't trolling, then it seems like it has an audience, so why change? I do agree that the first episode was all over the place and that it's certainly not the best first episode of this season, but maybe it will get better. Hopefully. After all the series is scheduled to only have 12 episodes and that might be the reason why they rushed the pace so much and cut content. |
| I liked the animation quality. Some of the other shows airing this season have turned me off by the art style... |

BTDee said: This first episode was mediocre for me. Very meh anime, hopefully it gets better. what the fuck even happened Yeah, Same here. We will see after more episodes. |
| So much exposition dump, and the worst part was all of it was half-baked. Yknow because screw world building; instead let's ramble on and on about random jargon that we arent going to define for you, and none of it is important yet until later anyway. I mean, if they had done a better job at explaining what was even going on, I feel like I would be much more interested. |

I'll concede that it could happen. That said, the manner in which the show takes its sillier moments so seriously doesn't bode well for it. But we'll see. |
Swagernator said: Dude, the first episode and he already saved her twice .. but i like the "chandelier" world they introduced, it seems interesting. Also, the qualification for those girls being the chosen is them being flat or something ? Well considering how manaless was the heroine, saving her is just a part of the game. Though the plot seemed to be fast forwarded, leaving out a lot of interactions. The concept of the world in this is something fanatic. Also about the flat thing, just gonna leave this here.....  |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Who the fuck gave this a 3,2 and 1 out of 5?! How do y’all dislike shit like this but yet will give food wars or that wrestling isekai such high marks? I just don’t get it. What was wrong with this? The art, animation and plot are great. It’s mature, it’s dark, etc. |

| Personally, I thought that this was a very strong opening episode, both thematically and aesthetically. The character Vampir's psyche is genuinely interesting to me, and I've already taken quite a liking to him. His psychology is fascinating. Aesthetically, the music and visuals correlated very elegantly to deliver a resounding emotional impact. Overall, I genuinely liked this much more than I thought I would (and much more than many others, apparently), and I'm really excited for the next episode. |

| Who the hell says "My little lady". Shit killed me LOL. >she has beautiful form >runs in completely defenseless Not watching more of this @Superns18 Sooo... what was mature about this? This was awful melodrama, this is as mature as that wrestling isekai you made fun of, which has superior action scenes and is actually funny. |

| They rushed over a lot of the exposition, but it was probably for the best they get this much out of the way in episode 1 so that viewers know what direction the series is actually taking. Took 5 chapters in the manga to reach Melida's mana, and until then it seemed like the show would be a very different story. (Hopefully the next episode backtracks a little to give a proper explanation of things) I approve of the VA's they chose for the MC's, and the soundtrack is done well, too. |

| This is an automatic pick for the because of MONACA OST! 5/5. |

| Well. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't good. Felt average I guess. The art and scenery is pretty though. I hope the MC doesn't narrate as much as he did in this episode for future episodes. Love Ono Yuuki and all, but the narrating is boring me. I think I may need another episode before I have a full fledged opinion. |
