Some may think Clair is evil, but she really isn't. She's been through hell and it's affected her. Track girl was a power hungry psycho who was going to kill them for that coin. Killing her first was entirely justified.

you are saying that the fan service was weak, but people be complaining that it was rather unnecessary right from the start. If they dislike fan service why bother even watching it. I wouldn't mind a little extra. ;)
As it's coming from people's preferences, there is nothing we can do.
As for 'weak', I mean, I'm not interested in straightforward nudity.XD

Incidentally, the VA of the store clerk had too much presence, I misunderstood she might have some role. Was it also a decoy that the school girl who has got the admission right to a college found the protagonists at the store?

I like the fact that Shuuichi and Kurea are building up their relationship and trying to understand each other. This show can become more enjoyable if it stops focusing too much on action and violence and devotes more time to its character writing. I'm really intrigued by the mystery of the Aoki sisters, especially because that mystery now involves Shuuichi. It will take some time for that particular mystery to be fully revealed, but right now, I'm enjoying the direction of this show. I didn't have much hopes for Gleipnir, but this show is playing its cards right, for now at least. With any luck, it will become one of the finest shows of the season.

The first episode was pretty bad but the writing has been fantastic ever since then.


This is some good stuff!

Talk about things going from 0 to 100 in a second..

This third episode was definitely entertaining. They figured out more about each other, which is good considering the fights ahead of them. I also give credit to the girl for thinking about the shooting the yandere in the leg since I did think about that earlier in the season with the other girl lol. Welp, if only he had control of his vocals while Clair was inside that situation would have been a lot easier.

But there's no way that the guy would be dead from something like that. That suit is pretty much like a teddy bear, so while I don't imagine regenerating body parts is a thing I'd like to imagine that you could sew together the parts that were yanked off. Welp that's just a little theory of mine.

The more I see of Clair the more I like the way she thinks. Hopefully she can have some mercy.

improving little by little but I still find the protagonist a bit boring and emotional, and it seems that we have an interesting little Plost twist.

This episode at least for me was PHENOMENAL guys, it felt so short because I was so invested into it and honestly that's one of the best feelings one can get from watching an anime. The scenery and animation quality is really incredible as well, I'm very excited to see what's to come after that incredible cliffhanger. Love this show so far!

Another great episode with a lot of happenings. So much is going on that I just crave to see more about all the characters and whats happening or happened. I'm completely sucked into this anime. Let's get more weirdness and craziness!


Look at this expression. She is too good


Background scenery is really good and detailed

Clair's sister's character works well as a yandere imo; it'll make for an interesting character dynamic.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

Meh, I was entertained last episode but this one fell again for me. So far, this show seems to be pretty damn inconsistent in terms of enjoyment but at least the cliffhanger was solid for next week. I still don't really get the point of this actual show but at least the main duo are okay still I guess?

That's what I'm hoping for. Shows like these generally don't have interesting narratives down the line so I hope this manages to be somewhat unique and interesting like the concept of Shuichi and Clair's 'relationship' currently with the monster suit and stuff.

"That's not my sister's classmate. That... is my sister herself."

That was so freaking cringe. And then of course, "that place belongs to me". Everyone wants to get inside a stuffed animal.

How is it that Shuichi went from hiding his form to now being comfortable enough to walk on the streets with it. Completely normal to see a massive stuffed animal walking on the streets in broad daylight.

The production quality was pretty good this episode too though.

yah but my only concern is how much they plan to cover of manga and how they plan to end it
right now they covered 7 chapters and the manga only 53 chapters until now
and I don't see there is a good stop in the manga unless they will change a bit in the events or they will leave us with a big cliffhanger like the one inside chapter 46
which the perfect one if they plan to create the second season or make fans pick up the manga

sadly we don't know yet how many episodes this anime will be but at least I hope they cover at least the big two cliffhangers inside the manga currently, the one inside chapters 31-33
and the one inside chapter 46

The dumbest part may be that they spent a bunch of time verbalizing and explaining the rules for her controlling him, only for them to be that the rules are all made up on the fly and don't matter anyway. Thanks. Time well spent, show.

I feel very much educated now. The second dumbest may have been the sister apologizing for doing an unnamed act at the end, which they immediately took to mean the one specific thing about the person she didn't know was there. I'm sorry. Didn't we just have multiple paragraphs about how she's a serial killer, arsonist, and monster? Ya think it could have been anything else? So the reveal that she's also an obsessed stalker talking about something else entirely isn't much of a twist.
Shuichi continues to unsurprisingly be the worst of it though. He almost seems like he's about to turn the corner as he declares that they have to stop serial killers and solve this mystery, then as soon as they're confronted with a serial killer whose very presence makes him retch with all the killing she's killed, it's right back to whining that maybe they don't need to stop anybody, and wouldn't it be best if we spent the last five minutes of the episode staring blankly as we're monologued at be an obviously unhinged lunatic. No excuses offered like it was all an accident, or there must be more to the story.

for the first part: hmm I don't know why you complaining about it since all superpower anime got like these moments where you have to see someone explain or trying his power, what I mean it's more logical to try your ability to check your limit

for the second part: I think you feel this way because of the anime dialog taking more time, in the manga, it takes only one page, but in anime takes more time, also I think you are smarter to detect the twist faster than others because of I've read a lot of comments who couldn't detect the twist like you so I guess it's normal to feel like this

for the Shuichi act: well I guess you missed something important, that Shuichi nose not only detect people, also he can detect people feeling, and there were no hostile feelings
towards them from the sister, that why he mentioned she is not like how he imagined her from what Clair says, in short Shuichi didn't feel any dangers from here at that moment that why he thought they can talk with her

well there's also more explaining but that will count as spoilers

Decent again, so claire's sister was the one who wished for Shuichi to take on that form, but to what end though? a crush maybe? but he doesn't look as though he remembers her.

It's a shame how modern society expects guys to be completely emotionless and girls to be overdramatic about everything. Suichi and Clair are reversals of this stereotype.

I can deal with the fanservice as long as it doesn't make the character involved weak. Hated what happened to Tamaki from Fire Force, and I'd hate Clair to become some stereotypical harem girl.
