| Very, very interesting. I really liked this first episode. Can't wait to watch the next one. |
 |
| This anime will probably be bad, but I still feel like I'm going to enjoy it more than I ought to; it has passed expectations so far! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I dig both of the mains, but the rest of the cast—especially that psychotic douche with the dice—are pretty insufferable. I'm hoping that most of them will be relegated to action centric roles, now that the introductions are out of the way. Other miscellaneous thoughts: Hisako Kanemoto is 2cute as Haru and the action was better than I expected. |

| Having a hard time evaluating this. Triggered all my personal taste flags, and I've gone in to this really wanting to like it from the start. Have yet to be offended by the quality of writing, but to be fair, not much has happened. We need some decent yuri anime after Sakura Trick made quite a mockery of the genre. |
| Well this is crazy bitch gathering we have here XD They're already hinting mysteries about Haru. I hope there's more than just the kindness to her because its annoying. |
 |
| Being told that your worthless, ouch :/ Impressive school never heard of an all-in-one XD That teacher is totally going to be in over his head, well that's my initial opinion :P Strong sense of smell lol. Duckies :D Good start in my opinion I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
| Loved it. I really love the OP, and I'm already anticipating the day the full version comes out. I really love all the voices they chose, especially Haru's. I haven't read past the first few chapters in the manga, so I'm pretty excited to ditch it for now and just watch the anime. |
| This is nothing special but I like it. Hopefully it wont disappoint |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| lol Haru told Tokaku to smile because she never smiled and looking back at the OP Tokaku finally smiles at the end..tho a bit creepy lol |
| THE FUCK? >o> I didn't even know it came out yet |

| Which character is interesting for you so far? |
| Haru is BY FAR the most interesting character. Intriguing. There is a long list of reasons. For one thing, those cellphone straps are super-cute! |
| I enjoyed it very well even though I had not expected it. It is stylish. The each characters are cute and have very suitable VAs. The story attract me while the settings are very strange. Perhaps, it is the best first episode for me in this season. Now I beg the series not to get degenerated. The original writer (author) of the manga, Yun Kouga is a very dangerous person for it. She couldn't finish almost of her manga well. |

okanagan said: If I was asked to describe this to a friend, I would say, "It is just like Azumanga Daioh except that all of the girls are trying to kill each other." Didn't quite get that feeling, unfortunately, because that sounds amazing. First episode was decent. Was hoping for more yuri stuff but its only the first episode so I'm sure that's going to develop later on. I do like the premise too. |
| wow. so i'm actually pretty hyped about this show now. much more than i expected to be. i mean the whole thing is ridiculous... but in a really fun campy way. it seems pretty self-aware of how silly the basic premise is. the art style and (especially) the music choices were all very bold and striking, which was refreshing. this could end up being a disaster. i could see it going either way. but i'm super interested to see where they go with it. |
| Well... It might turn out to be better later. |
  |
| Interesting under all aspects. The characters are very likeable, even though I felt Tokaku was pretty empty, but I hope to be wrong. The character I liked the most was Banba or whatever she's called.. pretty cool! Nice introduction, I have a lot of expectations from this. |

| Yep, i'm hooked... Love the OP and ED, overall nice intro episode ^^ Can't wait to see where this series is going |
| Hmm, based on first episodes, this anime looks the most promising. I did get a danganronpa feeling while watching it. |
| seems interesting, I'm really curious about the characters |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this |
| I'm loving this anime already. It's all about those cold eyes especially Tokaku's. Can't wait for yuri developments to start ramping up. |
| Can't wait for the part where they gonna kiss.. if that's gonna happen anyway lol |
| Look at all those murderess smiles. I'm liking it so far especially with the promise of yuri and the art style. I wonder what direction this is going to go. |
| this feels like dansai bunri crime edge without hair fetish. and that anime was garbage lol. the whole "assassin plot" is going to be so dumb and cheesy... I couldn't care less about these fighting school shows... SO DARK AND EDGY RIGHT? ugh... |
 |
ava_chan said: I doubt that'll even happen.Can't wait for the part where they gonna kiss.. if that's gonna happen anyway lol |
| Well it's still only the first episode, but it was pretty average. |
 |
| That was a good 1st epd. |
| Glorious Titties Nuff Said! Make America Great Again! |
| The characters seem really scary and the story is interesting, the only thing that bothers me is the "yuri" part I guess. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Well at least most of the characters personality are the ones that I like more |
| Could be really cool or unintentional edgy comedy. But seeing as I enjoyed the episode immensely I'm going to say 'cool' for now. The animation, the soundtrack, the direction and the atmosphere were all fantastic and the characters seem interesting but whether or not the plot turns out to be any good I'll just have to wait and see. I think I'm really going to like Sugita's character. rebpanda said: Luckily you've got Yuruyuri in your favourites so I don't have to take your opinion on what constitutes 'good yuri' seriously.Sakura Trick made quite a mockery of the genre. facade63 said: I am literally playing Danganronpa at this very moment. They are nothing alike. People getting killed in a school setting is a very common trope.danganronpa anyone? holy shit felt like i was watching a carbon copy of it. |
 |
| The setting is engaging. But since its mostly a female cast, it has the potential to end up irritating (see: Sakura Trick etc. etc.) I'll be surprised if it doesn't. What's with all the female mains and short hair this season though? PS: So far this is the most interesting 1st episode i've seen this season. The OP/ED wasn't garbage as well. We're on to something here. |
| Looks decent enough for the 1st episode. I like the art, pretty sharp and not boring. The characters also looks interesting, though the amount of evil grinning should be reduced lol. I hope they don't try too hard to make it look so bad ass/scary in terms of visual or characters behavior that they forgot the story/plot. |
| I'm hooked. I know what to expect but I'm still going all "oooh!" I love the OP O__O! Was that really Uchida Maaya? If I had not watched Mushishi before this, I'd say this is the first OP that really caught my attention. I didn't know Toshinou Kyouko was capable of doing that voice XD Banba ftw. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| hmm i cant say i liked it much. some of the girls really piss me off already with their nasty faces and attitude. i only like the girl with the day and night personalities. il give this a few more eps..its really hard to judge right now. 3/5 |
| Nice episode for introduction although I don't trust the other girl characters that might be a shocker for the rest of the episodes. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Going to give this a few more episodes before I make a definite call, but the combination of violence, deception, mystery, and yuri all wrapped into one edgy anime is easily enough to put this on my radar. Already in the first episode there's a lot accomplished towards making 12 characters with the same general job description distinguishable and giving them some unique flavor. I'm interested to see where the assassin plot and character development will go. |
| Is it just me, or do the voices sound kinda bad? It was a nice intro episode, but nothing special. 3/5 |
 |
| Started good |
| I definitely enjoyed this. Great OP (even though the female vocals threw me off at first -- which I really should have expected) and good ED. With the amount of characters in the series, I'm quite interested in seeing how they go about with the character development. For the first episode, I think the introductions of everyone were pretty well done. Nio brings an instant smile to my face and is easily my favourite already (she reminds me of Nui Harime from Kill la Kill, which is definitely a good thing in my book). Haruki and Mahiru/Shinya (day/night split personality girl) are tying for second. I've got high hopes for this one. 4.2/5. |
| All this edge. All those faces. Edgy Lesbians will surely be the best anime this season! |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| I was looking forward to this. Now, for some reason I'm looking forward to it more. I just wish some group would "officially" sub this. |
| The OST are really unpleasant, so are some scenes. The OP is pretty great both in music and animation, though. ED is here in case you forgot what happened during the last 25 minutes... The graphics are good, and the characters are all really nice. I love the way the story is set until now, though I really hate this glasses guy. Dice-bastard lol. Great episode for a start. This atmoshpere is not something you see everyday, less for a yuri. |
 |
| And here we go... First surprise of the season. I'm really liking the Danganronpa vibes I'm getting from this. Also, dat Sugita mastermind, hell yes. I'm not that big into Yuri shows, but as long as the story has a lot of shocking moments and twists (and presumably... death), I will be in for this ride. The characters all look really interesting and have a lot of potential imo. |
Just sit back, and let your tears do the talking as I save you. |
