| Interesting. Weird ass terminology of the tech and a bit of a long exposition left me confused, but if the show can go past that and delve in it's themes in the next episode, all will be forgiven. Also, I hated that "Trigger comedy" moments in the show. Don't throw in stupid comedy in a serious show, save that crap for Luluco! Can be either really really really good, or really really really bad. It certainly caught my attention. |
| I like it , need a longer first episode felt like there was more that need explained. Like it and it's one I am looking forward to this season. |
 |
| Awesome first episode. Hopefully it will stay weird and awesome throughout the series. Face-sitting for the win. It just came to my mind that sharing pain in certain body parts won't work between the different genders (balls etc). I wonder if they'll ever address that? |
| OP is great, animation is great, let's see how it shapes up. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| Great Op and Ed Song Whoa that Kzuana System |
| Interesting and fresh, looks like AOTY material |
| I'm not a Trigger fan by any means (I hated Kill la Kill) but so far I am REALLY digging this show. It's style is a lot less outlandish and it's art is so much cleaner. The soundtrack is sick as well- probably my favorite part. Yeah, a lot of the characters are cliches, but people need to realize this is 2016. There really aren't any character archetypes that haven't been used, so you're naturally going to see repeat characters through different series. I like most of the roster though. I wasn't excited for this at all and given my past experience with Trigger I was on the fence about not bothering with it, but I'm glad I did. I'm really looking forward to the next episode. |

| Pretty nice start. Hearing the ED theme sounds like something ryo from supercell would make. |
| what just happened |
 |
| Really liked what I saw. It has me pretty intrigued on what they plan to do next now that everyone is linked. Music was okaaaay. Didn't like the OP as much as others, sadly :c |
 |
| Liking the characters and its an interesting premise so I will stick around. That OP is dope, my favorite of the season. |
| Probably the worst plot so far this season out of everything I am watching. I was constantly shaking my head thinking 'who wrote this shit" the entire time. Also the mc is the most boring and least likeable of the season. |

| Pretty nice start..... This has some potential |
| If a-ha made take on me in 2016 rather than in the 80's, I feel it would sound something like the OP. Certainly wouldn't be surprised if boom boom satellites took inspiration from that song :P As for the actual episode, it certainly was... interesting, I guess. This was mainly a setup episode for the plot and characters, so I assume things will pick up next week. The characters all seem very rooted in their archetypes, so I hope they characterize and develop them well. Well, we will see how TRIGGER decides to play off the fact that everyone has insanely different personalities from one another, because that seems to be one of the driving factors of the core narrative. |
| This was a bit confusing, but I liked it |

| Good. I thought I would end up dropping every anime of this season. Seems not. |
| Right now I'm really excited to see what this series becomes. After Kill La Kill, which I loved, I was wondering what it would be like if Trigger tried doing something a little more serious, and I think that's what this will be. Looks like it could get pretty deep if it wants to. It feels like it's been too long since I've seen a really good thinker anime. |
| Sonozaki? More like Esdeath. I have no idea how sharing pain can be a good idea, what if one of them try to kill themselves? Everyone dies too? |
| Anyone know the VA for the little girl on the beam in the beginning? The one who told Katsuhira to retrieve his pain. |
| The ass attack was my favorite. Kamina 2.0 ~ |
| Trigger did not fail to deliver. There's a just a feel to their shows that is it's very own and that pleases me greatly They also gave us an OP to remember and not your standard J-Pop tune. Trigger shows always have decent music. That mpressive ass attack followed by intense facesitting session, LOL. |

| Another Okada trainwreck? Another Okada trainwreck! This feels like Wixoss all over again, just with trigger character designs. I can already see which character is which Okada trope even now. Cringed at "sharing pain" so hard. Can't wait for crazy Okada "twists" along the line of "you just accidentally fucked your brother, ain't that horrible?", as well as "This innocent character is actually a batshit crazy over-dramatic mastermind behind all of it" 3/5 for episode. Hopefully this will be funny enough. |

Also the mc is the most boring and least likeable of the season. Glad I'm not the only one who thought this. They're trying to be super artsy but failing so hard when it came to dialogue and character. It felt like it was trying to go for that monogatari vibe with character interactions but it fell flat. If the show can bring the character out of the shit they're in now and make them interesting though, I can see this becoming a really good anime. |
| Probably the second best 1st episode apart from Re: Zero from the season for me just because it felt really fresh. |

| i like it, lets see how this goes |
| Wow, shitposters trying way too hard |
 |
| It was not very subtle in its themes. Also, why were they all in so much pain from that slap if all their pain was shared? |
 |
| The "Sharing Pain" part is retarded but overall I think this anime is still good and I'm waiting to see more episodes on where it will go from there |
thegreatnathyboy said: It was not very subtle in its themes. Also, why were they all in so much pain from that slap if all their pain was shared? well it did not say the kizuna system will divide all the pain for all the members/characters |

However, his pain and wounds were divided evenly among everyone with the KIzuna System" |

| Lol At least it was better than Mayorga Though that's not saying much |

Viper_607 said: I wonder if the wounds are divided, but the actual pain itself is completely replicated, to allow them better chance of survival but also, make it so that the system would scale easily. I don't understand about the sharing system. In the last part when Tenga was slapped they share the same pain. So what about MC fall from the stairs |
| Interesting start to the series Plenty of eccentric characters - which I'm liking too. Not sure what to expect from the rest of this series but I will definitely continue watching. |

lezerman said: Good start, Niko is already the best character.. The art is beautiful, all the colors, so pretty I don't get the MC, but let's see where we can reach in this anime. Interesting start. Hope that it doesn't screw up and provides proper explanations. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| I feel so dizzy after watching the OP sequence :( Had to pause before continuing. Kizuna System -- first thoughts are that, masochists and suicidal people are sold short because less pain. Next, other people with the connection have to bear the wounds due to someone being stupid ie. the woundee can manipulate the 'fates' of others, and resentment may build. Noriko's talk explaining about Kasuhira was quite compelling. "They bully you because they can't find themselves within you." Katsuhira's best friend is annoying and tsundere as fuck. It was really cool how the party figured out how the Kizuna connection worked, literally. Tenga fondling boobs? Ironically enough, Tenga is a brand name of Japan's men's sex toys lol. Episode ended on a high note. I like the idea of being bonded by more than just the surroundings/shared values. Like Noriko said, we all seek connections. This has the general feel of Zankyou no Terror. So much flower imagery in the ED, what could it mean? Think this has the potential to be a sleeper hit. Edit: Kissanime's comments for this ep is worth a read. NSFW |

I think so too. They mentioned 7 sins but they showed only 6. Who is the 7th one? |

I think so too. This is my first time watching a Trigger release so let's see how this goes. |
