THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well they sure didn't waste much time getting right into the battle parts of this show. OP song is rather generic but I can deal with it.

Some of the characters are pretty strange so far, like that Mion girl. Yuuri also got introduced in a strange way. Felt like the show just dropped us all into the show out of nowhere. I have mixed thoughts on this first episode.

The best way I can infer this show...is Darwin's Game, but as the title of the show suggests: 5-second countdown battles once the meet between players start.

Characters aren't that appealing yet since we're just basiclly thrown into the bush for whatever this is. Gonna have to get used to 16-year-old Akira Shiroyanagi who loves to eat Konpeito candies, Mion the catwoman magician-cum-Game Master and other goons with their unique abilities. An endless 1-on-1 battles that start in 5 seconds for the players to get used to their abilities like playing games, especially Akira's being the Sophist, mimicing whatever the thoughts of his opponents carry that enables as a weapon.

That said though, the production staff for this one is a full-on fluke, the visuals look like a show that should have come out in the late 2000s (due to the old age of the studios), the generic OST, and this premiere episode covering almost the entirety of Volume 1 of the manga, I have nothing but low expectations for this show.

Just hoping that things will get better as it goes.

Hey, at least Akira is enjoying the game aspect of this. His first opponent was tough but he luckily beat it only to get destroyed by a catgirl a moment later. LOL. The OP is alright. The catgirl is weird and IDK how I feel about her but she's OP... so...

Also, there are a lot of characters to look forward to in this show. All of them are going to be entering this game from what it seems like. So far, pretty meh. We'll have to see how this one goes. Not impressed with the first episode tho.

Yeah! I love Akarin's OP, No continue. As well as Aimi who voiced Amakage Yuuri too.

Survival-themed anime is always welcomed for me. I really looking forward to the next episode.

The "fight to death" anime isn't really my cup of tea (in fact, I hate this genre).

But almost every of them have a lot of characters that pick my interest, this anime included. I interest in the delinquent boy and the muscle man.

I think he is the first one who, when he sees a monster, instead of shouting for help, takes it as a game, the typical...

The OP is really engaging. The concept is quite interesting, but I don't like the characters, we'll have to see how it goes on. So far it's pretty bad 0-0

Instantly kills a monster with no effort, overpowered character.
Well a battle royal with an annoying cat explainin everything.

The character design looks a lot like other characters but aside frm that, the rest is alright.

My main problem with the anime is that it skipped like 99% of what he was thinking and what he did to beat the monster so to anime-onlys it looked like it did it without thinking much .-.


That aside, this is a 24+ epusode anime right? Cause they are already blazing through the chapters butchering a lot of the pacing if they have any less than 24 there's no way they could properly pace this out continueing onward

Another one of those survival shows and this one seemed very generic at first untill the mc's ability was revealed that is. This just opened the door to many possibilities. I'm expecting this to turn into a psychological warfare whenever the mc will be fighting so I'm gonna stick around and see how good are those gonna be.

For me what i was off is the way he reacted when he saw the monster like it was really normal and (yeah i got this, it’s like a game, lets kill him)

It doesn’t come out from a normal high schooler or anything

If you have some explanation i’d like to know it plz

Ah I see, well yeah to me, it seemed like he beat him like it was a everyday quest or something lol xD

Hopefully it's only 12-13 episodes, I don't think I can handle watching 24 episodes of this.

As the PV's and the title already gave away, it's a battle royale of sorts and it has Darwin's Game written all over it. Right now that's not a good thing.

Overall, I kinda liked it. The MC has a difficult ability to work with and I can already imagine that all his competitors have a much more straight forward ability. That could lead to some interesting battles.

I love how everyone has been picked random, so we get all kind of people to work with.

Also Mion is cute and I have no problem with her voice, the other girls seems interesting as well.

I hate this new show so much.
This new show is frickin sucks, and I frickin hate it so much. Deatte 5-Byou de Battle is a new garbage anime of 2021, such as Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro! Go out and watch D4DJ First Mix, this show is frickin good, and it's better than Battle in 5 Seconds After Meeting.

This is trashy but not 100% garbage, there are a few battle royale type series: Gleipnir, Darwin's Game, Juuni Taisen... and I think this kinds of shows are supposed to be just easy fun and as long that's the case (not trying to force some kind of intriguing plot to try to be more serious) I'm okay with this.

Not a bad episode. Obviously feels like a Darwin's Game ripoff, but this episode was straight to the point and felt really quick. I like the retro style animation as well (although the blood splatter scene looked laughably bad).

Definitely won't be the anime of the season, but hopefully enjoyable enough to watch the entire thing

I expected the worst but it turned out alright. On one hand, I like that the mc adapted to the situation immediately without having to go through the "nah killing bad" phase. On the other hand, I really could do without him being every gamer's wet dream.

Mannnn anime on the whole is just getting better and better. Every season we’re getting more of these under the radar gems. This season we have this, Seirei:Spirit chronicles, that moon one and the death duke and maid.

I was not expecting this to be this damn good. A unique take on the common death game trope. A lot of questions I’ve got like who/what is Mion, who’s she working for and what’s the purpose of the game. I’ll just have to keep watching to hopefully get that answered.

Another great season premiere that I also thought was amazing, the protagonist I didn't think he was bad in terms of making a plan to escape enemies, We attacks that actually they are dead is good reasoning for this game.

I guess they're rushing it like all anime are doing these days. Many details were skipped, for example, Akira considering the complicating factors of his ability, how he needs to choose an ability both him and his opponent are able to imagine in sync. Since if the ability his opponent imagines has different parameters than Akira he wouldn't be able to control it like he wants to.

At least they kept Akira's favorite candy though, that scene was cute too. Though I wish they did more with the soundtrack, other battle shonen usually have some kickass song play when the main character pulls off their winning move, was hoping some of that but oh well. They do have good opening and songs anyway and the visuals are clean and look great.
