Are the seven deadly sins supposed to be some kind of meta jab at tired anime archetypes? Aside from that, not much to say about the episode itself nor the characters, other than I didn't actually dislike what I watched. Will have to wait and see what it's all about.

That freaking OP, tho: 'twas pure magic. Couldn't be happier they chose not to go for the generic j-rock/j-pop route and tried to get more creative with the visuals. Actually supports the "meta critique" theory, when you think about it.

Damn it was too good that I didn't notice that it already end until the ED come up.
Is Noriko the girl that told Katsuhira to get his pain back?
Once again, Nanatsu no Taizai.
Looking forward to this series.

Hm... Since I'm not a fan of Kill la Kill so far (though I've barely started it) I started watching this one with a low expectation, but I was surprised after watching the first episode. The artstyle looks good, the comedy isn't as exaggerated as Kill la Kill and things feel a lot less random, too. But without comparing to Kill la Kill, this series is promising. Right now, we don't get to know much of which direction the anime is even taking, but we have a good idea of the characters' personalities and what the power does. Maybe we'll get to know where the anime is headed in the next episode.

Now, when it comes to the OP... Honestly, it was boring and disappointing. The song is good, I like that, but the video doesn't really tell us anything. Lots of shots of the characters and these kaleidoscope effects, but it doesn't tell us anything about the actual anime.

Overall, this looks like something I'll enjoy. The series doesn't take itself too seriously, so I'm going to assume there will be a lot of comedy in the future. I just hope the story is interesting enough to keep me entertained.

the main reason I started watching the show was because the art's done my favourite artist and I'm super glad it was animated pretty well.
The story progression is a bit haphazardly put together so it's kinda hard to follow along and I'm not a huge fan of some of the comic relief as they kinda mash it in while they're trying to explain what's going on. Still going to keep watching so hopefully it gets a bit better c:

Let's see what Trigger's new show could offer!
Shared pain huh?

this looks reaaallllllyyyy interesting. Let's see if their ideals are actually true.
Only 6 sins so far, the seventh could be the blue haired girl, the girl in the mc's past, or the unknown purple haired girl in the ed?
On that note, can't wait for the next episode! heard that it's better than this one.

thought when they share pain, they only feel 1/6 of the pain but it seems all of them get the full level of pain

a good start so far :)

Looks like we're in for another crazy Trigger ride.
I adore the character designs and color scheme, they're unusual but uniquely Trigger-esque. Hoping to see more of the expanded cast in the next episode, they barely had any exposure here. Especially anticipating handsome "normie" boy with the green hair and crazy Niko girl on the hunt for fairies.

interesting story idea, and really enjoying the art style, especially the lineart. trigger knows how to make stylish looking series at least! there's some really lovely variation in line weight and use of solid black areas that I'm super digging rn, the character designs are nice too.

all the main characters seem interesting in their own way, Luna Lovegood special snowflake nico-nico nii~ Niko is mostly coming across as sweet rather than annoying, so that's something! but I guess there's still time for them to all devolve into shallow archetypes.

Chidori is unfortunately already there. her personality sort of just seems like it has 'love triangle' written all over it, I hope she has some individuality beyond that, but I'm sort of pessimistic.

Ah, so this is where the 'Yuta-kun desu' thing came from.

The first thing I had to think about was periods, though I don't know if that's possible to be shared as well lol. Like most people I really liked the OP. The disco hospital scene was really weird.

This originally wasn't on my to-watch list (because I'm already watching way too much), but I'm glad I gave it a chance.

I really hated watching this episode, most of the problems i have was with the Blue haired thottie

So like, she comes and feeds MC-kun some weird lines about how he gets bullied because people wanna carve themselves into him (which may be a reason but the more clear reason right now would be money), pushes him off some stairs to get excessively wounded (its excessive cause he didn't need his life to be in danger to test the pain split), lies about push him to his almost death (for no reason it seems), and forces 6 children to participate in this pain split game.

all this is probably made an even bigger problem for me because of the serious tone in this episode, which i think is created by how we follow apathetic MC and and Monotone girl for most of it, as well as how they displayed the pain split in action after some1 got hurt/hurt themselves.

i do still expect good things from this. I would have liked it if one of the bullies were connected in his pain split project so we can understand their point of view. naturally i dont give a damn but since the whole point of this is to understand people so we dont fight, it would make sense to use it on people we fight against/who fight us.

Sharing pain is a stupid idea....

Nevertheless, I still find this intriguing. I like the OP and ED, and I'm waiting for the 7th "deadly sin" guy to see how this all goes. Looks like we have another Marie Antoinette syndrome victim.

I haven't really seen any other anime from this particular studio but the art seems pretty nice. The story has at least grabbed my attention by the end of the first episode. The music seemed suited to the show. I want to see if these characters will grow and develop.
5/5 for now since it hit all my "keep going" requirements.

i wonder whether the philosophical question about how people want to be noticed by all means be it due to a positive or a negative behavior will play any role after this first episode. if the answer is yes than this show could get way more interesting than it is already. the seven deadly sins were also mentioned slightly but i doubt this will have any significance later on which i do regret.

the animation is great as well as the soundtracks so far and the opening seemed special- i didn't dislike it. it also suprised me when they got kidnapped jigsaw style lol.

Just started this; there's a lot of interesting factors and the sumi-surreal take on things is cool once in a while.

That sequence with the gomorins was fukken creepily hilarious.

Interesting premise, found myself a little bored though. I find emotionless characters to be entirely uninteresting. They really forced a seven deadly sins reference too. Felt completely out of place.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

I like the artwork of the show more than anything else so far, hope the story picks up in the next few episodes. I don't have a problem with the first few episode being slow and picks up as we go along because a lot of series are like that nowadays.

Also, love the ED. The op, not as much

Probably the best looking Trigger show so far. One thing I always hated about KlK is how cheap it looked, so I'm happy they dedided to amp things up with this one.

This was an ok start. The concept is really iffy since it sounds like something that's just bound to fail but I'm still interested in seeing how things play out.
I didn't like the way Sonozaki was explaining things to Katsuhira, it felt really forced...but hey, gotta have that exposition by all means right? lol

God tier opening though.
