| I was wondering what everyone was raving about after part A. Just seemed like another generic MMO anime with characters that were a little more enjoyable. And then I realized after part B. Great pilot episode! I'm excited for more :) |
| Well that was... well... damn. Really though, can you put all the "suffering- the anime" into spoilers? Cause it kinda ruined it for me knowing that it's only gonna get darker. That would have been a nice surprise... |

| It has potential,but time-travel it's hard to manage..I hope this doesn't slow down the pace like in any other anime of this genre. Please someone can explain me why is this shared in two parts (A&B)? I just don't remember similar cases...that's all. |
| Okay, tbh the whole transportation to another world and the MC's reactions, even Emilia tsundere-ness seemed a little forced to me. Most of the lighthearted dialogue was weird, too. It was like it's breaking tropes for the sake of it. It's more like a work of some fresh-minded fanfic writer-turned-author (who was probably tired of cliches, and wanted to try something new) Hope it will improve in term of characterization and execution. That's the reason I feel I can expect something more from it. Nice plot twist though, but ye saw it coming having seen the PV. The time-travel aspect is good, I'm a sucker for it anyway. I'm surprised Subaru didn't consider it to be a revival, it's a typical phenomenon in rpg games, come on. Guess he's not as hardcore of a gamer as he claims is. And yes, this is also part of reason I feel this work is a little amateur-ish. Okay so you ask for a password from a acquaintance, but you let in a stranger? Good game, old man. And I'm not feeling the comedy either, Subaru seems immature and a little annoying even if he's dependable and strong. Wow, very smart of Subaru. Like, it's common sense to make an excuse when some stranger is asking you stuff, yet he... so much for being honest. Well, I guess I could forgive it as a slip of tongue. The fight scenes were good. Yandere woman though. So Subaru forgot the death scene earlier? Nice excuse, accepted. Never mind, he's still not figured out he's reviving over and over again and is stuck in a time loop. What an idiot. Last moments were epic, when he went "ah I'm dying-dying-dying-dying- dead." and later when he screamed 'Satella's name, but she's already forgotten and he's like "oh I'm caught in some weird time thing" I might have criticized it a lot, I still liked certain aspects of it. It's just that it failed to answer my initial hype of it (it is the anime I was looking forward to the most this season) Still placing my hopes in it, hopefully it can get better. |

| I didn't know I'd say this this season but I really liked this first(s) chapter(s). Incredibly better than expected.

| I don't understand why people are comparing it to KonoSuba, Steins;Gate or Erased? Yes, it has some elements from these shows, but the first thing I thought was This is "All You Need Is Kill" / "Edge of Tomorrow" set in fantasy world. I don't know exactly why so few people noticed this, maybe not so many (here on MAL) read / watched it to notice that. |

| Hmmm... Dunno about this anime. I read the manga but it seems just as average as that in every possible way. Yes, they added some fillers and MC/Satella interactions to make this into 50 minutes but than again, it was just fluff. I mean, I don't want to bash this series as it wasn't as bad either but the thing is, we have seen this type of story many times before. 'Main hero in alternative world can't die and is imprisoned in endless loop until he finds solution to everything.' ...that's just about it. I wish this series would be on par with interactions in Groundhog Day but judging from how things were just now I really can't see that coming. And characters aren't way too original either, just usual archetypes all over again. I can already partly predict what other loops will be about. Also, the execution wasn't any good either. Both parts were way too dark and didn't step out of mediocrity. I will watch few more eps just out of curiosity but if this anime can't stand on its own in twice-as-long pilot I wonder what happens with its regular eps. |
| Yo damn, this one is looking to be a blast. Will two episodes come out each week? In that case won't MAL have to edit the episode count/episode duration. Either way, good episode, it started off extremely good. Good protagonist and I'm about to add his VA to my favorites for what he has done with Subaru is splendid! Quite gory too I like it. I like the two cour too although I'm wondering where this will be going. I mean he can go back in time right? I will rate it 7/10 |
 |
| After seeing both parts, I really can't say anything positive about this Anime. It's average as hell. But it's still too early to say, so let's see what happens next. |
 |
| Interesting show, off to an aight start. Kinda feels like he is in a game world, that would be shit if that was supposed to be a reveal late in the story. |

| Already finished both Eps 1A and 1B.. Well, at first i thought we'll get our usual "transport to another world" type of anime.. In the end of eps 1A however it's suddenly change into something like the combination between KonoSuba and S:G/ERASED which is pretty interesting IMO.. the fact that this anime get almost 1 hour of episode also help us to understand more about this anime (that it's pretty different than it's genre) So far liking "Satella" character since she's actually a good girl despite her action.. Her design is also pretty good IMO.. She however angry when Subaru called her that name in the 2nd loop which made me thought about who's the real Satella is and what's her relationship with our "Satella" The MC Subaru is pretty funny at the beginning with the whole "where're the cute girl who summon me to this world" and he try to use a magic and such.. Too bad that not even 1 day in this world he has to face this kind of problem.. Pretty interested to see the development between these 2 characters since for sure in this loop "Satella" hasn't met Subaru before.. Pretty intense 2nd half (eps 1B) with all the bidding and fighting against that witch-like character.. Well, the fact that this anime have 25 episode made me even more hyped since with this length i guess there's bigger possibility that it won't end up rushed or go anime original ending things.. Looking forward to watch it next week.. 5/5 |

Mich666 said: I read the manga but it seems just as average as that in every possible way. And there is your mistake. The manga doesn't even scratch what this is really about. So judging all that after 1/25 of the entire show is a little bit hasty. Also it's nearly impossible to create something completely unique right off the bat. Everything has been done once. People will always find a show "that has done that already". A show will always have a foundation that seems generic or cliche to people. Building up on this so it becomes something unique is what makes a good show. Be patient, give a show time to breath and it will let you see things in a different light. |
FappaApr 5, 2016 9:00 AM
Yeah this eyes seems so good ... rly like this character from first sight :) |
<center> </center> |
| Erased meets KonoSuba, perfect timing for this. I think this will be one of the best shows this season. The art is ehhhhhh sometimes, so much CG movement in the background... Satella has a phenomenal design, though. |
✧ |
| I think the exact name of this is STEINS; ART ONLINE, lol. Both mainstream time travel and parallel fantasy world theme combined. 3/5, it can be double-edged sword, I just put it on-hold. |
| Mishmash of multiple working tropes and okay story into a generic genre with premier level dressing up. Interesting, I don't know if I would like this at all. More watching needed |

| A great episode and one of the best starts I've ever seen... I just hope that White Fox won't pull anything strange like what it did with Akame ga Kill... |
| ok :p |

So novels are actually better? So far, it was pretty similiar to manga as far as I remember. I'm not trying to judge anything it's just this wasn't the best start I guess. And I have to say I'm kinda skeptical (and maybe even biased) as far as White Fox is concerned, their second Utawarerumono was utter mess and the quality of their work is steadily declining ever since Steins;Gate marvel five years ago. I'll also not go as far as to say that cliche is inherently bad as I have seen some very clever uses of it (KonoSuba lately for example). I was just hoping they would add this "little something" to their adaptation and execution to make it stand out. Sadly, I haven't seen something like that in those two episodes. But I'll watch few more episodes then and I wonder if I get hooked in time. |
| I like this one. Makes sense it's by the same people as Akame Ga Kill as it doesn't skimp on the blood/violence. I'm not too fond of the silver haired girls design, her face just looks really odd. |
| Was getting ready for a konosuba type show but then the deaths, the loop. Dying to see next ep, 5/5 |
| i mean this ep blew me away everything about this was good imo, even the mc male is actually interesting unlike most this already aots just sooo good cant wait for more<3 |
| "one step at a time" |
| Holy shit! i guess i just made a mistake for not watching the b part at the same time. i just finised watching the b part and WOW! no wonder people like the first epiosde. tbh, the b part is way....better than the a part. DAMN that is so intense. and i like how they put the light hearted scene and the serious scene together. it balanced very well between the light hearted scene and the serious one. and the action, just gonna be honest, that was a really freaking great action especailly Felt, DAMN! that is so freaking cool. She is my fav character so far btw. the plot twist/plot itself was really brilliat in my opinion. i like how white fox handle this anime and how serious they are with this anime. 1hr in frist episode = White Fox is serious with this anime. The MC a little bit similar with Kazuma from KonoSuba in my opinion, but either way, i still like the MC. great act! Ma fav character died in the first episode LOL, not really died tho...but seeing she got killed like that..... can't wait for the episode 2!!! Edit : i don't know if that is the OP song or the ED song at the end, but that song is great. and...i just realize the sometimes put CGI on the background. i think that is a great desicion to save the budget.... |

But I'll watch few more episodes then and I wonder if I get hooked in time. The manga skips out on most of the content but visualizes the brutality and the gore of the deaths in a good way but that's it. They may be kinda similar now but they'll go into different directions soon. I also mean how far the manga is, it's literally nothing. We will reach that point by episode 5. Well you're looking at two shows that are completely different to begin with. While KonoSuba is a parody that solely relies on its comedy ( in a great way ) this story is serious as hel and needs its time to be what it wants. Not only that but the author implemented a little bait which you saw in the entirety of the first part. This part is completely out of character for the show and is only there because of its purpose, to drop your guard and judge the story early. Once that happens the story shows a bit of its true face to startle you. The experience is entirely subjective though, for some it works more for other less. What I'm saying is that it takes its time to fill you with that special something that completely hooks you because it doesn't see the need to rush it and so did White Fox. They could have rushed the entire first part but ruin their pacing in the long run. Hm I wouldn't be so fast to generalize "White Fox" different staff work on different projects. Writing off the entire studio because of 1,2 shows that weren't on the level of other ones is like judging an entire country just because one citizen treats you badly. And the staff as it seems wasn't involved in neither of those works but rather in shows like Steins;Gate and Kataganari. |
| Already past 8? Nicely done there. My first impression about this episode is that, well done. It has subtle movements and good design, I think. And the second is, I didn't know it'll be adapted in 25 episodes. Really looking forward for this. Didn't really surprised about the story though, since I've already read few chapters of its manga. I just hope that with its "generic theme" of "transported to another world", it won't be just an ordinary story. |
| Wow, great start to the anime. I watched episode 0 and 1 and would have to say both are 4/5. This reminds me of Higurashi if it were set in a parallel world with a fantasy setting and magic (although Higurashi did have some form of magic in it to on a less obvious extent). I can't wait to follow this anime. It has tones of steins;gate, erased, and higurashi/umineko which are some of my favorite VN's/manga/LN/anime. |

Swtos-San said: kingsheep812 said: Alright, let me get this straight because you are obviously not understanding me. I'm talking about part B, episode 1.5 not the 1st episode. I'm talking about after he met "Satella" blah blah blah. Yes it was quite normal that he was beat up and sought companionship from the girl that saved him (who happens to be cute). Ok sure I guess I won't limit him to those 2 choices, there could be limitless reasons as to why, but the one the author took was something I found quite confusing and questionable. Yes you are right in the fact that I have to accept what the writer wrote because obviously I'm not the one writing the manga, I'm simply voicing my opinions. But if you just simply stop to think about the situation clearly and carefully. When he died and went back to the point where he was at the "appa" merchant place the first time. He still had his memories because he knew where to go and he remembered encountering all the people he encountered. He then proceeds to encounter the same people again. This time, none of them remember him. He doesn't stop to consider at all "huh, I'm pretty sure I met these people, isn't something up that none of them met me before?" Also the time of day was different, how much of a coincidence would it be for him to meet the same people again in the same places and that they don't have any memories of ever meeting him? Not to mention he is from the "modern world", that means our era. This shows that is not some uneducated person, he is a normal teenager like you and I. How often is it that people would've completely ignored the fact that nobody remembers/knows him after he already have met them. Also after heading to the slums, he doesn't try explaining to the old man as well as the girl what he saw happen to them? Being killed and everything? Also when the women with the same voice that killed him appear, he just thinks, "oh ok, I'll have to go with the flow and pretend nothing happened even though I clearly remember the names of those who have never met or seen me before"? C'mon man, don't tell me I'm the one being "unreasonable" here. I keep a very open mind about things but I was just pointing out some logical flaws. There are no logical flaws whatsoever. Subaru is confused at this point. He suddenly ended up in a fantasy world, then killed at night and suddenly opened his eyes and was in the city in the middle of the day. And there is no logical being that after dying(he did not realize he died) and waking up in a different place, would think "Yea, I died but I have a power that sends me back at time when I do." My point is, the main character has not realized that he died YET. Edit: I understand what you are trying to say, but remember, the viewer will always see things that the character cannot. We, the viewers, know exactly what happens, but the protagonist does not. The thing is though he was expecting some kind of power when he first came into the world though. The way he also handled being sent to a fantasy realm in a split second was very non-chalant, since he thought it was pretty interesting. The guy is also a gamer (self-proclaimed shut-in, so probably an otaku based on all the references he has made) which means he would be familiar with situations or weird occurences/powers like this in the stuff he has read/played in his own world; which is why he was expecting a powerup in the first place. I mean this is a guy that just got teleported to a fantasy realm and did not question it at all, was expecting a power up, has experience with the otaku culture (he makes very generalized manga/anime references to being transported to a world and having power ups). It would make more sense in the writing if he understood what was going on when he was transported back to the day time, by the appa vendor, where all the people he met don't recognize him, and after being killed and is now alive would be like hey this is time travel or a revival from death to an earlier point; I know I would at least come to this conclusion based on all the anime/manga I have read lol. Also, people that he saw dead are now alive like Felt and that giant dude. Also, I should state that I thoroughly enjoyed these episodes and enjoy the theme of time travel/groundhog day. So in no means am I hating on this, I just can see why people are saying the MC is acting dumb by not realizing what is happening based on everything I stated above. |
