The animation was the exact opposite of bad. I don't know what you're smoking, but it must be some good shit.

Yeah, and I'm not understanding how you think it looks bad/mediocre in any capacity. Like what exactly looked off to you?

To me, Camera angle, especially at the rooftop scene was weird. When she kicked him from the rooftop, the falling animation looked pretty bad and messy. And
The outline of characters also looks messy , especially the hair of the blonde girl seemed kinda off.

That first example is pretty nitpicky, and the second is more of an art style/character design thing than it is straight animation, but you do you I guess.

It has an allstar cast of seiyuus so my expectation for this anime is hihh but unfortunately, this episode 1 is horribly made.

Hopefully it gets better in the future.

I was already hooked from the first minute. This is very rare for me to be into a show already this quickly. This promises something good. Very interesting plot and characters. The art and character designs are really to my liking as well.
I've still got a lot of question marks but this was merely an introduction episodes. How much does Clair know and why did she want to commit suicide? I can't wait for next episodes. Just greatness!! :)

My general complain of this show is that the mc is very shinji-like. You know those characters that seem very akwarrd and dont really have much going on for them. It can get annoying and well, hope the series make up for it in some other way otherwise I can see myself dropping it.

I read about twenty chapters of the manga a few months ago and haven't gotten back to it but I still remember what happened and I think it's following the first few chapters pretty well.

I like the design of the characters, they remind me of Your Lie in April characters tbh. That was why I picked up the manga but I haven't gotten far so I don't have much to say.

I do like the premise and him transforming into a dog mascot is pretty funny.

The main character seems to have no common sense. Why did he need to use his monster form during the fire, couldn't he just grab her and drag her out the way he came in? Why did he step over the safety railing and turn his back to the crazy suicidal b*tch? Why does he care she has a picture or threatened him before giving his phone back, she already said nobody believes her silly monster stories and it is easy to just say the picture is just fiction like photoshopping monsters on a real background?

Gotta say, though, the story is pretty interesting. The intro with the vending machine man, the mystery around the coins, what the invader at the end meant when they talked about the power and "collectors". And why does he seem to know nothing, not even a vague memory about the coin or anything about his transformation, but the invader seems to know a lot and is actively looking for the coins? I really wanna find out what this all means.

I gotta say, I did not expect this to be a seemingly dark anime, I thought it was gonna be an action comedy type with the mascot suit transformation and the synopsis, but the intro changed that tune quick. I just hope there's more answers than panty sniffing in the next episode, this one seemed more centered on his smell fetish towards his underclassman rather than actually talking about the monsters.

It's like a fucking eromanga premise.

The surprisingly nice visuals pulled it through though. Like if this had Seton Gakuen visuals I wouldn't have lasted three minutes.

This first episode was absolutely captivating.

The feeling of watching this show is the feeling of having all of your worst desires as a human being put under a spotlight, and re-experiencing that embarrassing teenage feeling of your hormones, your emotions, and your impulses being out of control in a public setting on a regular basis. It's deliberately making you a bit uncomfortable in the moments that you understand the mc's impulses. This is not your typical "look at how great I am" audience-self-insert mc. And I REALLY appreciate that a fanservice-y anime show is willing to be that self-reflexive about it.

What really sold this for me was its meticulous attention to detail with regards to the character acting. It used the senses very effectively, and the different way each character moved and spoke conveyed perfectly what their inner feelings were.

There are still a lot of ways this show could go bad... if it starts getting too uncomfortable to the point of characters feeling irredeemable, or if it focuses too much on the coin fetch quests or battles it could end up dry and predictable. But this first episode alone really made me want to see what kind of character progression the mc's are going to go through going forward.

This is the most interested I've been in one of these "the world is dark" teen angst kinds of shows after the first episode. Its angst feels more grounded and motivated than normal.

As someone who did not read the manga, and knew nothing about this anime, after watching that episode I'm left thinking...what the actual HELL did I just watch??

The animation is very nice, but I'm very skeptical about the story. It all seems a bit silly after that first episode...

Ayt I initially planned on watching this for the seiyuus since its Natsuki Hanae and Touyama Nao but WTF was this garbage!? why the hell is the MC who can literally control his transformation into a powerful mascot monster being manipulated by that sassy bitch who for some reason talks big for someone that's infront of a monster!? I could understand if she was a monster as well but Jesus hell what the shit!? I despise character relationships like this more so if it doesn't make sense. Will give it till ep 3 but hot damn this was a disaster.

The show looks interesting but I don't know if I'll be able to go through it with such an unlikeable cast, the protagonist is a total wimp it's frustrating to watch him, he has no reason to listen to this bitch.

Once again the usual suspects are whining about ecchi fanservice despite it being clearly tagged. If this episode bothered then you I recommend you drop this now as the manga is loaded with it to the extreme.

The story seems like cliched garbage, but the animation and art is surprisingly amazing. Amazingly enough, quite enjoyable. I'm actually kinda glad I gave this a try. Also, can we have the guy that was in charge of the visuals for this be in charge of the visuals for all the edgy trash shows from now on?

Also, seems to be a trend this season, but the OP is pretty good.

I didn't like it... sometimes great art can save a bad show but not in this case. what I mean is the art wasn't great; decent at best.

2/5

edit: I'm still continuing this a bit longer; episode 2 gave me hope for at least an average to fine series. will be the biggest surprise if it ends up being good though

In Norse mythology, Gleipnir ( Old Norse "open one") is the binding that holds the mighty wolf Fenrir (as attested in chapter 34 of the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning). The Gods had attempted to bind Fenrir twice before with huge chains of metal, but Fenrir was able to break free both times.

I couldn't even make it 10 minutes into this. He wants to hide something about himself? That's fine. So turning down the scholarship makes sense. Then he sees a fire and wants to save a person. This is where I started having problems. He turns into one of the dumbest looking things I've ever seen. Stating to get a 'wat' vibe . Then he knocks a whole in the wall instead of simply picking her up and walking out the way he came in. Okay... He clearly had his consciousness which is why he's commenting on everything he's doing, but suddenly decides he's going to molest her once she's outside? I'm out. MCs are supposed to be likable to the viewer. Even if just a little. A beta who wants to rape? Motherfucker deserves a bullet.

WTF? Kaori, is that you? Damn... depending on the angle, she and Claire look so much alike.

Well... so as with Darwin's Game last season, I don't expect anything from this show. Pretty standard start for this kind of series.
On the one hand, something tells me I will hate Shuuichi's character so at least, I hope he changes that wimpy attitude sooner rather than later.
Claire, on the other hand, seems more "interesting" though the "crazy ass bitch" character trope gets annoying rather quickly if it's not executed properly. This said, let's see how her character is handled.

Regarding production values so far, animation seems decent enough and characters design as well as general art are of my liking. Hope the quality doesn't decline.
