Frankly, I've been waiting for this (manga reader here). Mainly, because of the cast and the god-like ending song. I love Miyu's and Maaya's voice acting. And Ogura Yui does an equally great job voicing Nasse.

I saw a lot of people talking shit about this manga, about being Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Ohbata "weakest work", and it could be if compared to Death Note or Bakuman, all I know is, I loved this first episode.
Don't know how many chapters it adapted, but didn't really felt rushed to me, I feel like this could be a great series and adaptation.

I confess that I expected more about this anime, but it actually woke up some things about angels it's about the death of the protagonist's country that was tense is dark because the criminal was always in his eyes so he kind of got revenge right there with the power he had received from the angel.

Hey, now i have depresion. Dang Mirai really had a tough chilhood, on top of that now he learns the truth behind the death of his family. The scene were he was flying over the ocean was beautiful and wholesome. I think this show has a lot of potential.

So I've read all but the last manga cause it's not out here, even own it all. The story was definitely not as good as death note. Yet the art is why I stayed. The anime so far didn't keep the amazing art especially the eyes, I'm pretty bummed so far.

Heard this will turn out to be a flop but looks promising so far. Since this is often compared to Mirai Nikki and I can see why now, I wonder which one I'll end up liking more.

Already liked how they've dived in to themes such as human nature.

Shockingly, this is the first episode of a true death-game anime that I’ve watched. I’ve sot somewhat mixed feelings about it so far. It isn’t good, but it isn’t that bad either.

The art and animation are clearly subpar, however, they get the job done without taking away from the experience too much. The constant fake deep “happiness” garbage is quite annoying given how seriously it is played. Edge is a staple of the genre so I won’t rail on it too much, but t could at least be done better. The power system seems like it has enough potential and I like that the “angel’s” corrupted morality is played completely normal.

Also, MC wants ordinary happiness, but when he needs money he doesn’t try to get a job? The editing at the end got a little wack and the power ranger suits look dumb as hell. We’ll see how long this anime keeps me watching.

NGL, it was an intense first episode. At some point, I felt like it was all resolved, but now it's a god selection competition sort of thing. I don't know, I don't hate it, but I don't like it either.

I actually like death games, but I think this had more potential as the edgiest possible version of Ah My Goddess than a battle royale.

This is pretty interesting and quite shocking. Angels whose main goal is makinhg their human god candidate happy by any means?! Good or bad doesn't matter as long as they're happy?! Bestowing that power to evil-minded people will surely be chaotic. But, to be able to become god, they should compete with other candidates, which probably means through killing every god candidate. Bloodbath!!!

I understand that it's coming from the creators of DN but why does it revolve around death/angels powers and a MC that looks like light ? Please tell me we're not going to get a rival that acts like L and a girlfriend that will be added to the race for following him.
The concept is not new, it's a battle royal with a "i want to make you happy" part.
I likes this first episode and I'm probably going to read the manga or at least some chapters to see where this hype is going to take me.

For a 1st episode, overall it was great like a solid 7. The music was good but the colors too bright. The lighting was a bit off some times with bright colors again that it felt like it's not the correct atmosphere.
I legit expected the MC to HAHA like Light and I'm happy he didn't do it.
The psychological aspect of it was good too, I'll try to focus more on that part and less on the race I guess.

Mirai Nikki but with powers other than see the future.

Nasse is kinda merciful, not saying to Mirai " You can make your uncle kill his own kids". Just saying.

I hope this one don't get too crazy.

I'll confess I was underwhelmed, but it seemed like they simply used an interesting start to justify creating a super powered protagonist for no real reason. Maybe I'll binge it when the series ends. Maybe.

Pretty solid 1st episode, production quality was obvious from the start that wouldn't be much thing but it was competent and delivered in the big moments, the adaptation was very loyal to the manga so nothing to complain about that.

God damn... is the manga really that bad?


It's not THAT bad tbh but there was a point I too felt a bit bored but it's a good story nonetheless. It's not as great as death note was but it still has some pretty good plot twists and arcs. If death note was a 9/10 then this was like a 7.5-8/10 for me. It might be different for you though.

Since they covered the first 2 chapters in first ep, there's a possibility that they wi cover up the whole story in 1 go since there're only 58 chaps to adapt.

I just love how the angel states "don't worry about wings, they won't snag on anything" and the very next scene MC is flying and touching the surface of the ocean with wings creating waves. If you come up with your own rules and then break them it's incredibly short-sighted and annoying. Other than that good first episode.

Ugh, does he get any better? I get that he's depressed but he's REALLY stupid and REALLY annoying so far, reminds me of the worst of Subaru from Re:Zero. Like BRO there is a F#$#$$ Angel RIGHT in front of your damn eyes, flying you around, and you doubt it? And you think its a 'Supernatural Scam"? How stupid can you be. The plot is interesting but I'm really hoping the MC isn't going to bug me

Why does the main character feels kinda bland? I hope he gets better in the future or else this anime is destined to fail since it's riding on death note's name
it's because he's got no personality or motivations. He's totally reactionary, being led around by his "angel"

Lol the angel is just casually telling him to steal, make random people fall in love with him and even kill people! Totally the opposite of what I thought she would be like. I think there should be lots of great comedy potential if she stays like that. I'm glad he seems to have good morals. I'm assuming some of the other candidates won't be nearly as good-hearted. It will be interesting to see if he ends up being corrupted and starts abusing his powers.

Lul? What are you 10 years old? I never said I didn't like Subaru but he was REALLY fucking stupid and annoying in a few parts of the anime, and at his worst he sucks(especially at the Royal Selection) and And if not figuring out you are repeating after dying three times and starting in the EXACT same place, STANDING up, and talking to someone, with the same items you lost in previous deaths makes him "better than" anyone in your opinion, have at it. But I could think of 10 that are much more likeable to me, just because he was good at the end of the seasons doesn't make him a better character anyway.

Not quite sold yet, but that was not bad. Sound design is eargasmic though and the OP slaps.

Mirai has had a pretty fucked up life, dude just wanted to die and then he got roped into a battle royale where he might die lmao. At least he has a chance to become God or he just dies anyway, but with a bang. Why do they want suicidal people to become God though, is that really a good idea? Well I guess they'd want to make a better world. I hope Mirai at least stays a good person and not go full Light Yagami on our asses.

Seems like a lot of people are enjoying this first episode so I'll give it a watch later today. I'm not expecting much from this studio given the CGI in the trailer but I'm interested in hearing the ost, when the teaser first came out in December I loved the audio/music direction.

I mean, nobody is telling them not to watch, they're just giving fair warning on what's to come. There's a reason why the manga sales tanked and why nobody spoke of this series in the past 5 years.

It was alright.

I'm bummed because the visuals are very unimpressive for the most part and don't do a halfway decent job of capturing the beauty of Ohbata's art. At least the Deathnote adaptation had style. The high point in this first episode was the flying scene. That was kinda pretty.

I'm also a somewhat pessimistic about the pacing. I figured that 24 episodes for 58 chapters shouldn't be much of a problem but I just remembered (as I've been going through the manga for the first time currently) that many of the chapters are 70 page monstrosities. It's going to hurt this. I felt that the emotional impact of the scenes in this episode weren't given time to develop. Also, the acting wasn't particularly good outside of Nasse.

only 1 episode aired and people give low rating to this anime based of animation , or story
i don't know what is story to this people that give low rating like that but pretty sure

those people are same people that give an iseki anime or school anime that all of them have the same story and plot you don't need to watch till the end you now what will happen , or their are anime that have high rating without have any plot , but good animation ,

this anime community rating have most ridicules rating anime , most members are young teenage that like iseki or school anime , so i don't really care about rating specially in this site
