Here's my interpretation; they're weaving these 9 lives together, the first episode is an introduction to these 9 characters. Keeping that in mind It didn't feel fast paced at all :/ I personally can't read kanji, so the flashing text wasn't cumbersome. I just assumed that if something didn't make sense now, it will eventually. A good writer knows that spoon fed plots don't invoke as much thought as one that requires digging, so if they want people to talk about their show in between airings, convince others to watch it, or even just entertain thoughts to keep fans interested till the end, they leave things out. That way when things start to click, you will also find a deeper appreciation for what you've been absorbing.

Man fuck this, with such a huge cast introduced immediately theres no way it'll be any better later on...
Unless they focus on 1-2 group of characters per episode, i dont see how this will workout at all.
And i had such high hopes for this one too :(

terrible. definitely the worst ";" series.
the tranny guy is disgusting, huge boobs with girl attached to them are disgusting,
and it's way too fast, unnaturally fast dialogues, too SHAFTy. Finally they ruined the scene when MC finds the corpse with music that doesn't suit the situation.
I like Kaji Yuki's acting but MC is really a little annoying and wtf is that 'Poya gun'?

Girl with huge boobs, fast speaking characters, kinda of annoying Main character...man screw this anime.
The only LEGIT thing that is keeping me around is the mystery/storyline.

I will continue to watch this, but THIS will not be one of the "better" animes of the season by the looks of it now,not even the storyline can save it from being one of the most disappointing animes of this season

Really liked the first episode. Reminds me of fast pacing of Stein's Gate. Also reminds me a bit of Durarara. Watched the episode in 45 minutes. But this is how first episodes should be in my opinion. Or like how Re:Zero did, 45 minutes for real.

Ryotas is the cutest thing, next to Mayushi. Just, what is that breast size that would go on par with the most absurd series of hentai.

Expecting much from this series. The setting is well established and I think it has the potential to go on par with Stein's Gate.

I actually enjoyed it quite much (especially in comparison to other anime airing this season).

I look over the huge boob aspect - the characters look interesting enough. A damn lot has happaned in the first ep, could hardly keep up with everything that was thrown at me. That doesn't have to be a bad thing though! If they keep this up we might be in for a nice, fast paced, action packed piece altogether. I could definitely need something like that (again, looking at other contestants of the Fall season...x_x )

It makes me sincerely want to watch episode 2, and that's about the most important thing an episode 1 can do in my opinion ;P

PS: I didn't like the opening too much, but I LOVE the ending song!

So many characters where introduced so quickly that I couldn't even learn any of the characters names. I'm just hoping this is just a bad first episode, and everything else after this is going to be good.

Also those boobs are huge!
Sigh.

Wasn't expecting this to be comedic in nature, so that kind of threw me for a bit of a loop. The main characters haven't shown themselves to be very intriguing just yet, but there's still time. I do like Aria a lot, though, and I found the scalp scene to be the most interesting part of the episode, more so than the ending.

Certainly has potential, though I feel that it's targeting a very niche audience.

I don't know what to say. Really? 1 episode for a whole volume? This made my eyes bleed more than Monogatari Series. Well, they set up the tone of the series for now so the future episodes will go into deeper detail and will be centered on that dead professor. I think that A-1's director for this anime thought that it would end up being a boring first episode if they didn't do it fast-paced. If I were asked about what I'm feeling right now, I got the vibe of Monogatari Series and DRRR! combined in one anime, like I was thrown in the middle of a raging storm not knowing what to do but it keeps me excited for some reason. The adrenaline is real for this one.

As for overall animation, like what others said, it's too SHAFTy. The characters designs are fine except for the big bewbed Ryotas which really threw me off. What is her role? A comic relief in the midst of a mystery, sci-fi, supernatural anime?

Just to say this but I think that people who have watched Monogatari Series, DRRR! and the ; series already would stick to this one.

So, this is what happens when you give Sonic the Hedgehog a chance to be a director for an anime show, since this shows pace for the first episode went as fast as him. O_O

The art and animation was good, although like others here, it did look more like Shaft rather than A-1.

I'm not sure what I think about the characters right now, but I'm surprised that Ryotas doesn't already suffer from any sort of back-ache with her tyre-sized chest.

Still, the overall premise is interesting and the OP/ED is good, so I'll be sticking around till the end. An average start, but as long as the show hits it's potential, then it should be good. =)

I like a series with a fast pace to not keep me bored, but this was a bit over the top. The style and direction is pretty interesting, got a shaft feeling from this. The thing to turn me away from this show is how trashy it treats it's female characters. I don't know if I should keep watching this although the plot and style intrigues me.

Ugh, do yourself a favor and don't watch it at it's normal speed. I didn't understand anything when I tried to watch it at 1.0 speed (especially since english isn't my first language). This series is way better to watch and listen to at 0.8 or 0.9.

My hype anime of this season got almost destroyed by it's own speed...
Meh, it's sad the director decided to make everything appear on LSD in this anime.
3/5 for the first episode.

So...I gave this a shot because the title pulled me in but what I got was a whole lot of "what the fuck am I even watching?"

I could even get over the Inflatable;Objects for boobs but the characters were just....annoying. Especially the main girl and the MC - too much yelling, screaming and dancing away the dialogue that barely made any sense. The pacing was confusing as hell, too because apparently, they tried to introduce everyone in under 30 minutes time, making me wonder just who was who and why and what. The only thing I liked was that creepy dark-haired girl and that hair scene. And that cliffhanger ending. The rest was just squealing gibberish by main characters. Oh, and the opening and ending was okay. Animation was so-so.

Overall, I'm going to give this thing a couple of more episodes but if it doesn't stop being like this, I'm out. Would be too bad, though, has potential.

I liked it.

Subtitles were pretty fast but after a while I entered the concentration mode and could read all of the subtitles.

I think it was good that they placed the whole volume into one episode because it could've been a bit boring because of all the character development. I haven't read the light novel but I think there wasn't anything interesting plot wise, and I like how they shrunk the character development size. I love how the characters interacted with eachother and were playing idiots while others stare at them, for example how Ryotas put his hands wide like a plane and ran everywhere just like the 9/11 pilot.

And everybody is thinking about the boobs. Yes, that is weird, I agree but the show isn't ecchi so yeah... I'm fine with boobs as long as they don't go naked.

More than this show itself, what really gets to me are all the "OMG, this semicolon anime is the black sheep of the franchise that tarnishes its legacy" spiel a lot of the haters are spouting. Have you people seen literally ANYTHING semicolon-related post-Steins;Gate the series (or pre-Steins;Gate for that matter)? It should be clear by now that S;G was a fluke accident, and even then the creators are doing a damned good job of tarnishing its legacy with those godawful sequels.

Not really impressed and the characters seem annoying so far. The jokes were not funny at all. I'll probably finish this even if it's bad but I hope the next episodes will be less confusing. The art style and the animation were nice and the OP and ED were also good. I hope they keep the C-Cup jokes at a minimum.

Disappointing first episode.

Well, the animation and art is nice and I like its wacky style. It's not really confusing, but many plot points are barely getting proper focus. I guess it's apperent that this episode tried to adapt one entire LN volume in one episode (of course A-1 would do something like that). Also, that big-breasted girls is irritating as hell and that's gotta be one of the worst character design I've ever seen. Things got interesting by the end so hopefully the series starts to gain its focus later on.

If you return from an exhausting day of work, I recommend you do not see it. Extremely weird (monogatari docet), in the narrative, it manages to be original directing. Good designs and animations, opening and ending as the original narrative.

Dialogue speed is not as fast as Tatami Galaxy or the Monogatari Series. However, you'll certainly get pissed off if you're not used to someone regurgitating a whole book right at your face. Maybe the speed has to do with how the MC is incredibly impatient and wants things right away with little effort. Who knows.

I'll give them that the animation and artstyle look really good though but...
Those fucking breasts, the 666 number being(apparently) taken seriously, so much stuff happening at once, the fucking otaku MC and the over-the-top unnecessary yelling made me cringe this entire episode

However, I'm going to give it a second chance next week, they can still fix it

This was alright (though it felt like spritzing half the time). I don't really have much to say since we only got little glimpses of many characters, but I'll be interested to see how things pan out.

That was really, really bad, and it hurts because I had such high hopes for it. The PV made it seem like the frantic cuts were on purpose, like they were from the series as a whole.. Not all from the first episode! This ONE episode adapted the entire first novel, which was 400 pages. Hopefully they seriously slow down, or this is going to be a real train-wreck.

They adapted a whole volume into one episode. Since there's only two volumes released... I hope the pace slows a lot more down now it's done introducing the characters durarara-on-crack style, instead of becoming an Anime Original.

People say the MC is obnoxious but the same complaints were made of Subaru from Re: Zero when it first started airing.

Interesting enough to keep watching. I'll keep the 3-5 episode rule in mind.

Wow that was hectic. There is the dazzling side of the trippiness this season and I guess this is the abrasive side. Feels not like the cousin of S;G and R;N but more like a bastard child of GCrowds

Yeah I still think this was too stylistic for its own good, it was near impossible to follow, doubt even the voice actors knew what they were spitting about at some points. But I still liked it. Needs to be a bit different from some point, but I've already seen things like this come good. I sensed everything slowly falling into place during the episode

Maybe will become the Centipede Hz of anime.

Well, at least I liked the OP and ED.

This might be another Robotics;Notes in the making. Which would mean it'd get worse and worse as it goes on and the final episodes would be so bad they'd be good.

So let's see... professor with the long hair who enjoys publicly denouncing the occult goes missing from his home, ends up dead in his office with his scalp cut out. Our esteemed MC discovers said professors body when deciding to conduct an interview, and the scalp was mailed to the cursing girl who actually interacts with a real life demon.

Apart from all that, the lucky MC managed to snag two assistants "just cause"...

So...... what is this show suppose to be about again?
