Bro...this shit went WAY over the top but I don't even care! This is what I am talking about! How a Magical girl anime should be!

I like that it has a more mature feel to it then most shows this series. The animation is decent and art is good too.

I found the BGM very interesting. So there were some serious moments but the music was somewhat upbeat. I feel like it still fit the moment because everyone around Asagiri was having fun and she wasn't.

A different approach which I enjoyed. (Although not liking seeing Asagiri get beat up)

Well, it sure wasnt difficult to find the edgy anime of the year. Although, I will say this first episode did perform better than my low expectations. It's still edgy, but so far it hasnt put itself in the trash-tier that other edgy anime are in. I'd even say MSS is a borderline enjoyable type of edgy anime.

And whythefuck does the ED video have a sperm theme?? I have a feeling this might get kinky quick. I just hope it doesnt turn into incest rape by the masochist brother.

Aaaand I'm totally in for the ride, it gave me hard Magical Girl Raising Project vibes and that one was a lot of fun, this one started delivering so far as well.

Poor Aya can't catch a break between the bullies and her "perfect" brother, but creepy site is here to help her by giving her murdering powers, nice.

I can't wait to see other characters and their powers.

I thought this is going to be bad because of MAL rating.

But it turned out to be 10x better than what I expected. It is sooo entertaining. Best 1st episode I've seen in 2018 so far.

I know it's anime and fiction but for real, those bullying scenes were so over-dramatic and over the top, as said by many other people. I don't really expect much from this as it's just another anime that follows that "dark magical girl" theme which Madoka pretty much made popular.
- The scene where the rapist/bully and the girl die is satisfying as all hell
- Scaredy-cat MC is kind of annoying but I guess it gives plot
- Teacher doesn't give a shit which again, for plot, makes sense but is fucking annoying as I find that teacher characters should act as a guide-like character or a simple background character (kind of acted around the background character but the fact that he doesn't care and is a bum irks me)
- Nice family...
- Super fucking edgy

So one of the bullies thinks it's a great idea for Aya to nearly get raped, yet Sarina using a knife to try to cut the inside of her mouth is too much? Fuck off. -_-

I finally got the chance to watch it, and as I expected, people were having mixed feelings. I KNEW people will either love it or hate it. Tbh, I like the series, when I read the manga, but it was because it's fun. I acknowledge it's not that well written, but the writing does great on building mystery about the site itself, which I can give credit for. I can't explain because it's only the first episode, but I'll explain it once more episodes comes out.

First episode itself, it's kinda hard to watch. At least in the manga, it feels faster and brief. They censored the cat's death, but that makes up with how ABUSIVE the characters were to Aya compare to the manga, ESPECIALLY KANAME. THAT PUNK ASS CHOCK AYA AS IF THEY'RE DOING S&M. Seriously tho, it's kinda more fuck up if you ask me. In the manga, he just punch her. Overall tho, the anime does a decent job on building tension, but it kinda lacks common sense which justify why people don't enjoy it much. Although people that called it bad because it's "EDGE" and "Trying hard to be mature" kinda missed the point of the series.

This is the dumbest pilot episode to a show I've ever seen. It is trying WAY TOO HARD!!!!

Apparently, the author didn't know how to create a sympathetic character so they settled for borrowing every cliché they could muster up and concocted this "character" known as Aya Asagiri. She follows every trope imaginable for the "please feel sorry and angry for this person!" archetype.

Viciously bullied at school for no reason? √

Gets the absolute shit beaten out of her on a regular basis by her abusive brother? √

Has her pet brutally murdered by school bullies? √

Has said bullies call someone to rape her? √

PLEASE FIND NEW WAYS TO ENVOKE SYMPATHY WITHIN YOUR AUDIENCE!

This show has lazy written all over it and I couldn't bring myself to feel a modicum of care for the main character because everybody behaves in such an unrealistic manner. I mean JFC is this a town filled with Satan's spawn and she just happened to stumble into it? I'm sure newcomers to the genre will feel horrible watching the events unfold but if you are familiar with these storytelling tactics it will be rather tedious to sit through.

Edgy =/= Mature

It's worth noting that this is both the studio's and the director's first full-length anime. Personally, I think they should have picked an easier adaptation to cut their teeth on, the source material for this series is just too ambitious. You need strong audio/visual style to carry a story that's this over the top and edgy, and this director/studio team just doesn't seem to want to take any stylistic risks. The ED is interesting though, hopefully that's indicative of more imaginative choices to come!

Luckily, from what I remember, the series doesn't linger on the bullying shit for too long, once you get into the fighting. All the sticks have different powers (ie: time stopping, mind control, teleportation, an especially deadly yo-yo, etc.) all with serious drawbacks, so it becomes this crazy, strategy driven, chess match. Between that, the mystery surrounding the Site itself, and Aya's character development (I promise she's not a doormat forever lol) it's a pretty entertaining story, so I'm hoping the studio is pulling its punches and saving its budget for later episodes, and not just making another soulless, forgettable adaptation. Fingers crossed!

I loved this episode. This is the kind of anime I need. Over the top tragedy, horror, and psychological with a hint of dumbness. The series is supposed to be edgy, and over the top.
I loved how brutal it was with all the depictions. All the people complaining go read Emergence by ShindoL, maybe after that you're all prepared for something like this.

everybody just hating because of forced edginess lmao then why did you sign up to watch this in the first place?

just like how Aya's brother is blessed by god to have super high grades and fortunate life Aya herself is carrying all the misfortunes laid out upon her by god. i mean if you think about it that way then maybe things would seem like it would make sense.

(don't quote me on that i havent read the source material)

ok yea i guess the animation was pretty ehh but i like where this is going so far. the girls be leaking blood when they use magic my guess is that they drain out their life if they use magic too much

If it is entertaining then it is good.

Not always the case since something can be entertaining meanwhile being flawed at the same time (the show is flawed despite me enjoying it, I would give it like a 5 to be fairly honest since there's flaws that bugs me personally).

Then again I prefer something that's entertaining that is flawed than a show that is well-written that has a boring vibe to it, or anything remotely unpleasant. (that's not always the case for me though).

Bullies always come in groups of three, don't they? So bullying, torture, attempted rape, and a dead cat...basically everything I've seen in Hell Girl...

So this is basically Mahou Jigoku Shoujo (Magical Hell Girl). Girl suffers, gets a message on a website, and gets the power to face off against her enemies. Well all this bullying and torture is just standard fare to me, so I didn't really feel much out of it. And it was definitely trying too hard, especially with them faces. Looks like each magical girl gets a special power of their own though so I'd like to see how that plays out.

But magical sticks in the form of weapons? Honestly, I wish Aya just went Rinne Berlinetta all over their asses.

Aaah, typical high school hijinks. Trying to permanently maim or kill a classmate, convincing a friend to rape her as a prank (that one's a classic) and violently murdering a kitten.

Seriously, this episode made me uncomfortable as fuck. And I have to say, of the two powers we've seen so far, stopping time seems a lot cooler than a gun that teleports people onto train tracks. Also, what's with the shitty ED?

While I am not impressed, the series is at least entertaining in that I gain perverse pleasure from all the suffering. It also borders on hilarity, I lost my shit at "It's cherry-poping time!" I think I'll enjoy this.

Hm...? I seem to see Sarina in the promotional art that's being used as the main image for this anime listing, and she has a yo-yo "magic stick". Guess we haven't seen the last of her yet.

Or maybe it's just someone who looks similar.

The 1st ep was really something there. Everything was placed out pretty good for a starter ep.
I just can't understand why people rate this below 7, because it's an all female lead or not the type of mahou shoujo they want?

i allready expected it from the trailer, but now i know for sure.. this show tries way to fucking hard to be deep and depressing to a point where it becomes rediculous and just plain comedic.. ive enjoyed my fair share of edgy shows, but this one is just too much.. how can anyone really think this is any good?


i think youre not remembering Madoka Magica correctly. you might be better off spening your time rewatching that instead.
[/spolier]

I didn't say it was similar. It just makes me think of it because they're both mahou shoujo anime that aren't completely happy.


yeah but theres been fiew of those. and this show sadly lacks everything that made Madoka Magica great. just like most of the dark magical girl shows, they are just too bussy shoving the dark down your throath, while thats the complete opposite of the subtile hints that slowly revieled the complete picture, that was used in Madoka Magica.
only mahou shoujo anime i think is rightfully comparable to Madoka is Yuuki Yuuna. sadly the ending ruined that show. the sequel didnt fix its flaws ether.

Well, the cat killing thing was as cliche as hell, who didn't see that coming a million miles away, but other than that, that was a pretty effective 1st ep (SnK level effective). The bullying was really hardcore, and it was pretty difficult to watch, although I don't understand the low rating this has.
Ok, it definitely isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if it is too brutal for you, doesn't mean that it's crap and that it deserves a 1. Seriously...

being presented with such over the top suffering right from the beginning is emotionally numbing and really makes it difficult to feel anything at all for the characters.
