The opening is probably the best opening of this season honestly. Also, the visuals and soundtrack seem pretty strong, but the plot itself isn't to intriguing at the moment. The concept of the "wounds" seems okay, but really hope it transitions better throughout this series.

Trigger is back!

3/5 for this episode

Hmm...interesting, but will it follow through with decent explanations and plot development? This whole sharing wounds thing seems like a far-fetched idea to me. I have my doubts it will be done well. I hope I am wrong though.


What made me confused was that Sono(Blue hair girl) said they shared the pain, but when the red hair girl punched herself(She did something first that I forget, but then she punched herself to feel what happened) it was supposed to be SHARED, as in divide EQUALLY, it hurts them really badly like a real punch, almost like they all share the same amount of pain.

All through the episode I had two questions cross my mind though.... first off, if Agata was pushed off the stairs, then shouldn't those other six have something happen to their necks? I'll assume that it was because the system hadn't been implemented on him yet, that they didn't have to "share".
Second question was hypothetical..... since they don't have them... what happens to the girls if someone injures one of the guys privates? And to put that further, what would happen to the group of them if one of the guys and one of the girls decided to bang? Would EVERYONE in the group be "feelin' it"?


1: Could it be that they share pain at a psychological level, rather than at a physical one? The pain shared from a punch in the stomach or in the face with the same intensity would be undistinguishable one from another. From what I can see on the episode, all the hits are taken on the face and people take their hands to their heads when they feel the pain, so it's not clear if they are suffering it on their minds or on the specific affected area.

2: Pretty much same answer (I do think female privates can be injured, no expert tho)

3: Absolutely. That would also apply for a gangbang (curious enough, they are 3 guys and 3 girls), they would all be feelin' it x3

The opening was psychedelic as fuck.

Decent start so far. I'm not really fan of the main character but the story has me intrigued.

The disco hospital scene was weird btw.

The story and setting is pretty interesting tbh
Characters aren't the greatest from what I see so far but that can change.

Fun start and looking forward for more. Nico's weird af tho lol

That was some crack right there.

Sharing pain huh. This'll be an interesting anime. Lots of great characters to explore and understand.

Noriko seems a bit overambitious though. World Peace through pain? They are going to pull some shit to make me understand that one.

But didn't all seven of them get a symbol carved into their left wrist at the end there? I was assuming that was something to do with what Sonozaki was doing to Agata in the room over there, with the stun-gun no less...

Really liked the first episode ^-^, though there was something I don't get. Noriko said that Katsuhira survived because the others shared his pain, but they didn't know what she was talking about. I guess that's because Katsuhira doesn't feel pain.

Anyhow, doesn't that mean the Kiznaiver system was already activated? How can the Kiznaiver system be activated again at the end of the episode? =.=

Nah, that was the "Kizuna System" that was put into their bodies via operation, as you could have seen that their opened up their wrists.

Loved the OP.

Agata is a boy who can't feel pain. His indifference frustrates people because they can't relate with him. Interesting idea.

I zoned out on all the exposition from Sonozaki on experimental cities and sharing pain. It was a very inelegant way to setup the story.

I can't recall ever seeing someone hit someone in the face with their ass before. That was the funniest moment for me in the episode.

It seems like this show has potential, but it didn't give me a strong enough incentive to keep watching. Maybe I'll hear about something amazing happening later to motivate me to pick it back up.

Wow, that animation quality was pretty great. Should I say sasuga Trigger when they're not working on Ninja Slayer-like stuff?

I think this show does have some potential. Probably one of the one's I'm looking forward to the most this season.

Interesting first episode, not something you would expect from a debut episode really. Basically explained the system instead of learning about the characters. The idea of sharing pain is interesting as hell though.

An odd, but cool episode. I like the premise, and all the characters seem to be interesting.

The OP was pretty unconventional, almost like a music video rather than an opening, but I think it was pretty good.

Art of course was great too. Been waiting for what feels like forever for this one to come out.

I'm about to tear this one a new asshole, if your not a fan of opposing opinions avoid this.





Also all they did was info-dump.

Worst art and animation of all the original series, worst art and animation of this season actually. The choppy shit is literally horrendous to look at.

All the characters are shallow stereotypes and their character drama is bound to be uninteresting or over the top edgy shit.

Main character can't feel pain do to super DEEEEP edgy traumatic experience he was forced through just because.

Another weak reactive main character who can't move the plot on his own, so things just happen to him, literally other characters move him from one plot point to the next and he has no clear motivations/goals.

He's just another uninteresting dead pan character with white hair, it would be better as a side character or something

The idea that sharing wounds will some how bring about world piece is absolute pretentious garbage, holy shit who wrote this.

Overall 3/10, worst show this season by far. I rather watch mayoiga, at least that show won't take itself so seriously so I can just laugh at it.

Also esdeath little sister look alike totally isn't the same bitch that the mc knew in his past but tragedy + amnesia(classic) back story made him forget.

An interesting first episode. Wonder where they'll take it from here.

Do they just share physical pain or other forms of distress as well?

For me! The OP song = Best OP song in thsi season. i love it so much!!!
overall it was a great first episode imo. i like how the atmosphere and the animation/art style are so fitting to each other. the story was interesting, even i still think it was a little bit weird... ED dong was alright imo. i thought there will be a drama if they all are sharing pain, but after i saw the genre, i guess not....
it's not hyped, but tje atmosphere in this show is really really nice!!!....i'm going to enjoy this one :)

looking foward for the next episode :D

A lot of talking assorted with some pretty visuals does not make up for the actual development, Trigger. I mean bam! they just kidnapped them and operated (?) on them, but they didn't remember it nor had any marks and no one questions the morality of all this. It's basically stealing kidneys for a good purpose. Oh, wait... Nevermind, I'll watch until episode 3, but I'm rather skeptical. Don't get me wrong, I think the idea is pretty good, too bad we're just spoon fed information instead of actually seeing some plot unravel.

Ups:
-Best visuals so far. I réally like the art.
-Characters with different attitudes.
-The story could get really interesting (if entirely explained).
-Connected pain?
-Voice cast.

Downs:
-Niko. I mean srsly.. she's probably the best example of some people that love anime that really annoy me at times.
-The OP. It's not my thing.
-Again... seven deadly sins. Bit tired of that theme even though it's "a bit different".
-The story could easily get very confusing (some parts in ep 1 were already hard to follow).


Overall could be a really interesting anime. Will surely give this one a try.

It has a really interesting plot, but several characters are already starting to annoy me, like that "childhood friend who calls the main character by some cringey nickname and also has had a crush on him for a long time, but has never shared their feelings". I was hoping the characters would have a bit more originality to them, but I guess they had to put in some cliche character to catch in those stereotypical-loving otakus

Based Trigger is here to deliver again boys.

Digging the art and animation, and the characters (for the most part) seem unique and original.

Some info dumping makes me worry this will only be 12 or 13 episodes but whatever.

Also got reminded a lot of Mekaku City Actors for some reason.

Looking forward to more.

I loved the way Katsuhira Agata died, snapping his neck on the stairs. Oh wait, he didn't ? Does this anime pretend that no pain = death canceler ?

I'm glad this anime makes kid wiser ! I'm out of hear, i'll teach that to some depressive child so they'll give a try, thinking they'll fail their suicide.

That was the only anime on my list, that I didn't know what to think of it before watching the first episode.
Now after the first episode I have to say it is very interesting and I'll definitely watch more of it. :)
That opening though ... dunno ... I just don't like it. :/

very interesting, i mean i didn't understand at all what was happening in the beginning but at the end it got me hooked, just the whole pain sharing thing but me surprised. but how can she lie about the thing and the stairs, she pushed him he didn't jump, that got me annoyed. I'm excited about the next episodes.
