| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- For an isekai, it looks interesting, kinda reminded me of Mushoku Tensei but without perverted jokes. I like the undead characters, but I have the feeling something bad is gonna happen to them. The "twist" at the end wasn't as bad as I thought, but I liked how it made Will closer to his undead adoptive family. Let's see what route this series will take. |

| Kenja no Mago? The 8th Son? I don't know anymore at this point, lol. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I was a little disappointed. The story was more well done in the Ln&manga compared to the anime, it was kinda rushed. |
| “Think not of your future or your past, just your current self. Think about the now and focus, then throw out your very identity” |
| How is this anything similar too either of those? And it's just one preaired episode out with no good subs. The source material of this is highly praised unlike the other two which are generic isekai. |
 |
| Pretty slow but it was quite a good building-up episode. There were a lot of mysteries in the first episode with the undead, god, reincarnation, and the situation of that world. Those three undead seem to be some kind of legendary figure somehow. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| This show gives me more of Fumetsu no Anata e vibes, just add the Mushoku Tensei Isekai inspiration fantasy lick to it. ICYMI, the author himself (Kanata Yanagino) also confirms that Mushoku Tensei was his inspiration to make this series, without all the degeneracy of the former. https://twitter.com/yanaginokanata/status/1419432178539061248 Will is an interesting character more than anything, to be taken care of by 3 undead gods (ghost Gus, maiden Mary and skeleton Blood) in a world that's pretty much decimated of mankind, where Will is the only human alive. These 3 plus the adopted Will make a nice family, hiding secrets from one another. I kinda feel that this premiere episode went way too fast to introduce us to the peculiar world, but that's not how the LN / manga was written in that pace so, definitely a fault on director Yuu Nobuta's part. But still, this is a fine start, and Children's Playground Entertainment did decent on the production side. I'm looking forward to more of this. |

| All I have to say is that I like the start of this show. And, I have high expectations from this show as I've actually placed my bet on this show in FAL. LMAO We'll see how that goes. LOL |
 |
| I've read the manga before so I kinda knew what to expect. Artwork style (at least the character designs) reminds me of Rokka no Yuusha. Good to characters like Blood and Mary being introduced. It was kinda interesting to see William's childhood here but pretty sure we'll see more of his adult self soon. It's a decent episode that let the audience get to understand him a bit. |
 |
| Seems like the author was inspired by MT. This will be pretty good and I'll probably check out the manga soon too. Skeleton Blood's VA is perfect. His personality is kinda the same as Ninomiya. Well, this was a pretty decent introduction episode and William's childhood was fairly interesting. The 3 undeads are so far the most interesting ones. Just wanted to mention that this episode gave me HUGE TPN vibes lol. The character designs, killing method, Will's personality. |

| Pretty interesting premiere. I like the setting and the lores. Artwork/visuals are nothing extraordinary but they set up the atmosphere pretty good. MC being raised by three undead is a really unique and intriguing situation. I like all three of the undeads too, they have nice and fun personalities. Quite excited to see how this one will go and I have pretty high expactation of this. |
 |
| The story do look similar to one of it's isekai counterpart airing this season. The main character, Will being reincarnated into a world where he's being taught several things by those three undeads. Ghost Augustus being really amusing and skeleton Blood too. Don't know why that maiden Mary reminding me someone from TPN. We got a good start with Williams childhood, and that's what I was expecting too from this. Quite interested to see more of it. |

| The character design for Will and art in general kind of fell a bit flat for me, and the pacing was a little fast, but I thought this was a decent little premiere. I like how much lore was explored in this episode, how Will has his relationships with the 3 that look after him, and how he develops over time. The training while a young kid aspect is smart too to showcase how powerful he can be while very young and how much potential he has in various aspects, although he feels more OP in his construction and not as balanced as someone like Rudeus for a start. I hope the actual story and journey behind Will and the others improves from here and shows some vision and interest (plus I hope to learn somewhat of what Will's original self's past was like and see if the reincarnation to this world is a good thing or not). The start is not a bad one, definitely more positive elements going into it than the negatives. I'm glad there wasn't much bad comedy and there was some actual thought put behind the episode. Music was decent too. Decent premiere overall, still need to get used to Will's design though, that's meh for me. |
| This story has a lot of potential, this episode 1 really gives me goosebumps telling me this will be a great story if executed well. Reminds me of Children of the Whales of its atmosphere. Will just thought of his past life all to himself and there were a bunch of hints given about the secrets of those 3 that are currently caring for him but I'll stop here since I don't want to spoil others (and I haven't read the source yet). I will probably love this series if they do it well enough. I'll probably expect this to be a heart warming adventure. Don't quote me on that... :D |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Really enjoying the first episode, its very emotional. Hope this series will become " Hidden gems of this season" |
| From just the first episode, I can see Mushoku Tensei influences. This show will definitely be overshadowed by Mushoku Tensei, but I'm still hyped to see what Isekai Mowgli has to offer. Seems like there really won't be any or much ecchi elements at first glance at Mary's Breast size. |
  |
| For disclaimers, I read volume 1 of the light novel (VERY tedious as hell), and went through a good amount of the manga and my feelings for the series are quite mixed, mostly negative, unfortunately. It starts out quite fine and then just goes extremely milquetoast after the first couple of chapters. This was a very weak premiere to me. In particular, the exposition and the pacing felt quite off. Seems like they jumped and skipped all over here. The animation and sound designs are fine but nothing particularly special even though they're better than most fantasy shows nowadays. Mushoku Tensei did something similar with its own introduction, except it was far more thorough and interesting without cutting too much important context. I really don't like how imbalanced Will is with his abilities, with much of it having to do with the odd mechanics of the Words of Creation. While not the worst premiere of the season, it's not really investing or intriguing enough to really make a statement compared to some of the other big names from this season. |
 |
| So this is pretty much MT without the perverted stuff lmao. This episode gave a decent impression, as we get introduced to Will and his undead caretakers. We also saw small glimpses of his previous life sprinkled in the episode, so hopefully that gets expanded on later. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| This thread has been cleaned. Asking about where to watch something and providing illegal links are both against the rules, so please refrain from doing either of those things. |
 |
| Interesting adaptaion for LN reader, here is the question i did not get an answer yet |
| bruh |
| So far I prefer Mushoku Tensei over this. The pacing and dialogue were a bit too fast for me to digest and the fact that so much happened already leaves me wondering if we'll get enough time for a proper development on the story. The animation wasn't as good either, the op is ok and there's not much I can say about the music yet. Still, hopefully on FAL it scores a lot, I'm counting on it. |

| This is going to be GREAT. Doesn’t feel like your usual power trip fantasy. Actually feels like a very alive fantasy world. Never heard of the LN series before but just from looking at the reviews and ratings looks like it’s very good. I’m watching this one with high expectations. Love the mysterious element of the city of the dead and the MC is likeable. |

| Looks good. I like the effort they’ve placed into worldbuilding with the different gods, magic system, and fantastical beings. The editing is a bit to fast at times. It could benefit from letting shots breathe a little before cutting to the next one. Looks like the sleeper hit of the season so far. |
| I can tell the ost will be great, it sounds familliar but nothing else stands out besides the skeleton character for now. |
| *sign* next............. |
| Not that interesting yet. Need the main to move out fast - so the undead living with him will be less important. (And hopefully big cities and other humans introduced.) I hope this changes in the next 1-2 episodes. And hopefuilly that gods don't appear regularly as characters walking there in the same world lol. (Cause MAL lists some as characters.) |
| You may be badmouthing Mushoku but at least it had story twists. And 'dirty jokes' were incorporated into story. Even certain panties have very important role. This one yet to leave generic trope of 're-incarnated protag raised to powerful hero'. Execution might be decent but it is not enough in 2021. |
| This looks like it's gonna be awesome and my curiosity is already piqued by all the unanswered questions. There was a lot of info for a first ep but it was all clear and easy to understand so it's not a big problem or anything |
 |
| Lackluster in presentation but better in execution in terms of dialogue and story than most fantasy shows nowadays |
| I get Disney movies vibe from this episode quite good will continue till end |
| The most dangerous irony is, people are angry with others because of their own incompetence |
| That ending was really sad. |
 |
| Wasn't too sure about this series going into it, but this was a very impressive first episode and I'm excited to see where this one goes from here. Get the feeling this could be a big sleeper hit this season. |
| Shame they seem to be speedrunning the first arc. After city of the dead, manga went downhill a lot while this arc was an amazing read. Visuals leave a lot to ask as well. Maybe I'll look for LN translation instead of watching this, since manga looks worse and worse lately as well. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| The story is rushed, the animation only slightly decent and the monologue volume is annoying. The one LN I enjoy that has an awesome plot with no harem/ecchi gets a subpar animation and production, unlike Mushoku Tensei and other isekai anime that's filled with vulgar scenes and jokes. *sighs* I expected this. |
YukiTsubakiOct 9, 2021 3:59 PM
| So this is basically Mushoku Tensei, except the MC is not a pervert and his family are undead. It wasn't bad, but I hope it gets a little more interesting. |
