It's too predictable for my high IQ, so I didn't feel anything toward it. But I appreciate for what it try to achieve but i think anime will get his downfall after this episode.

At first I wasn't really digging the reincarnation aspect. Even though it felt like a roundabout way to expose the dark corners of the idol industry, the way the "babies'' were so easily letting loose and the rest reacted to them wasn't very convincing nor was the "sensei"'s moderated reaction to being so close to his idol. However as we got more into the lie subject, the more I started to empathize with Ai and the way both Aqua and Ruby protected her.

At last, what finally grabbed me were the last 15 minutes. They caught me completely off guard since I didn't think the show would get that dark. Ai was actually planned to be dead for the rest of the show? No wonder I didn't see any promotional material for her later on the show. And that death sequence is so well animated, from the blood and the hair string to how the light in her eyes fades away.

Now, the show has portrayed its true colors as a murder mystery, kinda like Erased but in a completely different scenario. Let's see where this goes.

Simply BLASTER episode. I couldn't believe that she was really going to die until the very end, I thought there would be something to bring her back or I don't know, because I really thought the whole story would go around her. Very easily is going to be the best one of this season, I assume.

Holy fudge, this is a premiere and a half! Probably the best premiere in a long while? Can't really think of something else besides Shingeki no Kyojin for me, and that came out a decade ago.

I could see the buzz around this show and I knew it was going to be good. But this good? Gee, consider me surprised! Boy, did I shed some tears there, when Ai-san got the magic three words out, I was just an emotional wreck. Takahashi Rie-san is a goddess and her performance during that whole scene is far too good honestly. I really got the bad vibes when she contacted the biological father in particular and yup, just that.

10/10 prologue, can't wait for the revenge story next! Doga Koba giving it all their love and soul, thank you so much! Aqua's realisation of the possible culprit was on point, they really captured the darkness really well and the effect with the eye. I'm sold.

So far this adaptation is going great. The dark drama from the story with colorful and deceivingly cheerful narrative was perfectly captured in the anime.

Every aspect had a grip on me. The characters were intriguing, the music was immersive, and the animation was astounding. As a fan of the manga, this adaptation has so much promise. I hope it continues down this path.

It was good, I guess it's refreshing? I don't know, in any case it was fun and I'm sure I'll enjoy the rest 8/10? Tbh I was really bothered by them being literal one year olds and acting and moving like this I just couldn't get past that suspension of disbelief but it was still good

I recognized the location they were in around 1:04:00 from watching Stand Alone Complex years ago and after a little research I found out it was a real place you can go to (Starbucks Shibuya Tsutaya).
Regarding the episode itself, I'm surprised at how deep it went in general. Giving child Aqua the same voice as Rudeus from Mushoten was perfect. And whoever decided to make it last 90 minutes deserves a raise.

Many things can be obtained from an anime. However, for this Anime is very deep in meaningful messages. Other anime may only touch on the moral aspect. This not only touches, but digs deeper.

I am one of the many fans who was touched by the storytelling of this anime so that after watching this anime, I kept hearing emotions as long as I watched it. Hopefully others can feel the feeling of masterpiece that I feel.

Unique plot, was curious why it became no 1 in MAL, but it totally deserve it. The animation was gorgeous, the characters are also very realistic, especially for Ai’s principle in becoming idol. Ai dying scene was so perfect, i cry again even after knowing the spoiler, it makes me want to watch more. Really hope it doesn’t stop there like Spy x Family etc, really excited for next episode.

I thought the person that killed Ai was the same guy that killed him in the beginning, and was his father? Why at the end does aqua say he has to find the person in the industry that killed Ai if the person that killed Ai killed himself after he killed her?

the insane turn of psychological events in many parts of this anime from beginning to start was absolutely insane. it unfair to call it one the best first anime episodes of all time given the fact that it was 90 mins long. tho what i found crazy was that this technically wasn't the first episode, it is a prologue (put it as a movie introduction of the anime before the actual anime plot begins). the actual anime is going to be about the kids redemption arc of what their father did. overall, such a great opening to the anime and i cant wait what the actual plot holds for us

IT was tooo good. I started this anime knowing and getting spoiled that its dark and sad without knowing that she would die. I fucking hate sad animes but this one just gave me all types of emotions that i have never gotten from an anime before. I CANNOT wait for the fuckers who killed her die bro istfg
