And boom this is why this show is hated to kingdom come and back. With very clear reasoning we're tired of the endless lgbt pandering in normal anime. 

The lgbt have their own anime boxes no need to pollute every day anime with this kind of garbage. 

This constant in your face pushing of an agenda is what will brake the camels back, and then all the insane lgbt's will cry and throw a massive tantrum for the ages. Keep away from the children! You degenerates!

i'm 100% with you. i wish there was a warning on episode 1 that this crap is gonna be laden with this bs.
but of course, they hid it in episode 1, to give the impression that this is a normal, well made anime, then on episode 2 they drop 3-4 woke bombs for no reason other than getting in your face with the propaganda. i remember them doing the same thing in a sport anime a few years back.

so boring and cringe.

might drop it if it continues.

Please be more specific.
Please watch the rest of the episodes.
And please once you've done that, try to explain us how this claim above is not a total load of bull.

Lots was happening in this episode but felt very well paced. These kids got away with the first weird looking monster of the series, let's see how long they keep going. Man the more I watch the more I appreciate the art style and facial expression of the characters, they feel very charismatic

I really love the opening it just hits differently the atmosphere it creates with the music combined with some insane and fast-moving visuals combined with some slow visuals impressed me. the innkeeper death i saw coming from a mile away little sad but saw it coming especially because she decided it was a good idea to step right in front of the monster look! its fine :D

Very interesting concept, can't wait to see how it unfolds. I've seen otherpost-apocalypctic anime here the bg event happened very recently and they al felt generic, which this does too so far.

A confession just after 1 episode? Shocking. 

And that reveal form Kiriko? Even more shocking. 

So did Kiriko isekai or something lol

I don't need some lgbt crazyness -.- there should be a warning before first episode...

Why they came back to Tokyo? I was hoping they would travel around Japan at least... then again the art is like painted not realistics so nothing lost.. now I wonder how will Tokyo be made?

that part with the Inn owner was very cliche, see that in multiple low grade horrors...

so far the mystery part of plot is strongest.. but I don't get why this anime got 8.23
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´。✪ω✪。`)

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Since the beginning, I was thinking there is just one Maru (or more exactly that Tokio is Maru few years before and that Heaven's story told in parallel is actually flashback).
But now it seems there are two of them? Getting strong Island movie vibes here.

The confession was actually unexpected but now that I think about it, we should see it coming ever since she said he means nothing more than money for her.

Kiruko's body is obviously woman but some accident happened five years in the past during those races and if Takehaya Kiriko from picture is no longer around and her brother was supposedly killed, what if our Kiriko is somehow her brother? (yeah, makes no sense right now but I hope the next episode sheds some light on this mystery).

Actually, one more thing - falling from the height of that high, he should be dead. I mean, the guy who tried climbing the pillar. Are they even humans? Feels more like terminators for me, with human brain maybe. One way to battle the plague I guess?

Another low-IQ shounen trash where the hero is overpowered for no reason whatsoever so that he can save the day after a series of irrational and plot-breaking actions. You'd have to pay me to watch this dreck.

over sexualization of children
the most whack introduction to a trans character
flashbacks that don't add much value

this is a worse version of the promised neverland s1 and the last of us, but with a much worst handling of non-binary folks lol

The school scenes are Kiruko's memories and do not occur in parallel with the pair's journey.

At first it seemed the innkeeper drugged her guests so she could fend off the man-eater by herself, but as soon as Kiruko and Maru show themselves to be capable, she gets in their way. Was she grieving so much that she believed the man eater was her son or did the man eater that absorb her son reach such a level of sapience to deceive her? Kiruko's theory that she drugs her guests to feed them to her "son" is kinda tragically believable.

Reaching the tomato heaven; Maru shares a secret that there is a guy that looks like him...a clone perhaps? Were the children in the flashback subject to genetic experimentation? The way that guy fell from so high up and didn't get injured makes me think they are tougher more than the average human.

Both Maru and the man at the farm mention something 5 years ago with the latter elaborating that it was when the brother of electro kart driver Kiriko Takehaya died. Kiriko is the spitting image of Kiruko bar hair color.
Mimihime in the flashback looks like Kiruko too, and the apparent gadgeteer Shiro (original builder of the Kiruko beam?) got sent a nude of her and had a nosebleed when hugged by her.

Kiruko, Kiriko and Mimihime are clones or sisters?

On the ship back to Tokyo, Maru confesses to his crush Kiruko (hinted when he was disappointed that Kiruko stated to the innkeeper that they weren't dating), but Kiruko drops an even greater truthbomb; he's a man in a woman's body (so is this the result of the "accident" with Kiriko's brother?)

Great character development and plot. Only sad part is that some reviewers for this show are very rude. Some type transphobia or homophobic comments which made me quite sad. The anime is very well designed for this episode, so always giving me hopes up.

Injecting someone with the same face as him, then seeing there's someone out there with a face like hers too.
So cloning maybe?

Also what was up with the guy falling from that high and being fine like nothing happened.

We get to hear the Tomato Heaven's story too, seems like the world's been like this for a long while now according to them.

Then the final reveal of Kiruko which explains the bathroom scene last episode.

Ah, so Kiruko is a man inside a woman's body? Sounds like the thing I want to happen to me! Please let me live as a beautiful girl, Kami-sama!
Also, it seems like they got a lead info to where to go to!

Is there an explanation (that isn't an outright spoiler) as to why they didn't just shoot the man-eater's body directly and instead went for wings and whips? Seems like the gun could've just melted it lethally with one shot? I guess it was simply due to range or something...?

edit: eh... remember peeps... don't ever just go in for a kiss, always ask for consent, at least the first time (maybe more, if you're not sure). Also, generally, any time you don't really know a person/friend yet, aren't close or familiar with them, ask what their stance on simple touches/hugs is and what's okay for them. Oh, and always ask for consent for s_xual stuff and don't take for granted that the person wants to continue—they're allowed to change their mind at any time. Don't take entertainment media as an example here. Peace, out.
