I'd really like it if Nanao turns out to actually be dead. I'd love to see Nana pick off the students one by one until she finally gets caught, probably by Kyouya. Unfortunately I doubt that's going to be the premise, but I have to hope.

how did you predict it? what gave it away?
the hints were really subtle as to "an enemy of humanity could be already in the island" but other than that they hide it really well.
the visuals werent that bad either

you sure you just dont want to hate on it buddey?


“Are you sure you just don’t want to hate on it?”

Ummm, no. But I’m not confiding myself to low standards especially with shows like this. The signs were there in plain sight to where it reminded me of Assassination Classroom and how a number of characters had a sort of other side to it. Another and Happy Sugar Life had that similar early alarm and atmosphere.

The visuals weren’t horrendous but it’s barely avg in terms of quality.

yeah and im asking you what signs you saw that suggested that? why are you dodging the question?
you cant honestly say that the reveal was predictable thats bs and you know it
someone who gave higschool dxd an 8 shouldnt have that high standards lol.

Huh? I thought I answered the question. I guess I was misinterpreted. Idk why DxD was brought up, though thanks for reminding me cause I forgot to update it. I’m not sure why you say not enough people should not be able to see it coming. At very least you should sense the twist incoming in timely fashion even if you’re not sure what will happen exactly. The atmosphere literally screams some twisted shit is gonna happen and unless if you’re a novice, I don’t see how one doesn’t see that coming. But you know what? Perhaps not everyone was able to see it coming. Perhaps they think the seemingly happy-go-lucky main heroine is as they think she is.

I don’t want to be at odds here because I simply have a completely different impression and all I did was share my brief thoughts on this thread, though perhaps I was too blunt and brought up the ToG case as a bad comparative example.

no you didnt answered the question at all
so you didnt even need hints to guess she will betray him but just guessed it from the atmosphere?
i watched over 500 anime so i would surely not call myself a noob
but there are soo many situations where the bubbly mc girl stays like this for the whole series and there was no indication that it would be different here either
in my happy sweet sugar life there was this eearie voice acting and some very big hints already indicating how fucked up the mc is going to be unlike here.
i brought dxd up because you were talking about having high standards and still rated a generic fanservice series with an 8.
kina hypocritical dont you think?

It's all around below average minus the twist at the end. The dialogue felt really slow and the underwhelming soundtrack only made it less tolerable. This is gonna come down to how interesting they can make Nana's mind game.

LMAO wut? Along with the title giving it away, she explained exactly why anyone that paid attention knew what was gonna happen from the start. It was barely a twist.

My first two guess of enemies are that pink hair girl and teacher, now I only suspect the teacher since pink hair girl already reveal herself. In fact I also think the scenario of every students are enemies and government bring them together so that they can kill each other.

The biggest problem is the anime name though, why Talentless Nana when he's reveal to have talent in the first episode, and possibly even more talent...


That's the twist, Nana is the actual main main MC, Nanao is just a secondary MC. The way I see it is that Nana has legit no powers, she is just very smart and faked the whole mind reading thing hence her explaining stuff after pushing Nanao off the cliff.

It's a good thing the title of the show didn't spoil anything. /sarcasm

I probably would have dropped the show if she didn't reveal herself by the end of the episode because it was quite a bore.

I don't think I've ever had any issues with people shouting out their attacks but the guy shouting out 'Final Fire' was pretty cringey.

It was quite predictable, but I like how it played out; it was executed well. I think there’s some potential here. Setting seemed like a watered down MHA. MC is your standard likeable person, but he’s already got more depth than a lot of other MCs I’ve seen this season. Art and OST were okay. I’ll keep watching.



"Depth", huh? Nice pun, even if unintentional. ROFL

ohhhh, i see potential... Unfortunatly the thumb for the episode was the "psycho face" of the pinky girl, so i wasnt' surprised by the plot twist at the end, however, i liked that idea of the class being the enemy of humanity and not knowing it... or even that simple idea of the enemy being one of them and killing them one by one...

However, i don't think the MC is dead just yet...

Did this anime just pull a fake out with Nana being the main protag instead of watch guy? Also, I can't understand one thing and that is what was that gust of wind that seemingly pushed her? And why was she happy and not sad when ice dude won or was it just an act? However, this be the 2nd anime that pulled a DXD on me 🤣

Okay so my fiirst 5 minute expressions:

They made Kacchan ugly fire user
They merged Aoyama and Todoroki to some fancy ice boy
Midoriya is Midoriya but without actual powers
Ochako is pink and can read minds
Todoroki is branched : his fire power was given to ugly Kacchan and his initial personality was transferred to the new guy

If i had not read that what happens in the end of the episode i probably would have dropped it.

Right now it kind of gives a 'meh' feeling for me. If she values those power users as 'enemy' wouldn't a power canceller be perfect ally? Slightly retarded logic here.

Though i'm not curious will the story revolve around Nana killing people. Perhaps that, would be amusing.

uhh that was not what i was expecting the visual art for the manga was already kinda sus with the pink blood splats and seeing a few people talk about something already lead me to believe something was up with this strange setting not to mention how much they pointed out how basic and dull the fake MC was , was funny though when they went back to the cliff i was like there ant no way someones gonna fall again right? but she went back to same spot that was broken very much a bruh moment


still this is almost the same plot of the final arc of Danganronpa/anime lol


right now all has going is it looks kinda alright and had a twist so curious to see if it can keep it up with whatever plot it's trying to go for

I spent most of this episode thinking this was as generic as hell, even predicting the MC's special ability right before he used it, and I was just about ready to drop it on the first episode.

Then that twist happened and now I have to see more.

pink hair psycho


its obvious she has reasons for doing so. considering how millions of people are saved every time she kills one of the superheroes, and she calls them enemies of humanity.

since ep2 is gonna be called time traveller, I speculate we have some shinsekai yori situation where she came from the future where people with superpowers abuse those without and she's trying to prevent it.

Mostly a competent but not noteworthy episode..... until the last couple minutes. While I could complain about the monologue being overly long, that was the sort of hook that definitely has me curious to see where it's going. I love how it used some overly cliche elements but not to the point of parody to feel like your standard story until the last second twist. Definitely will see where this goes next week, glad I decided to actually try this out

Since she seems to be a master manipulator, why didn't she just manipulate the watch guy into being her ally? She could've easily played into his insecurities.

His ability would've been useful in eliminating the rest. Instead of getting rid of him first, she should have eliminated him last.

For someone who is supposed to be smart; she really didn't think that through, lmao.

Seems pretty generic, it started as a bnha stereotype and then added the 'enemies of humanity' stereotype and
But the part when it was done was kinda surprising. Well, if she's the main protagonist it's going to suck. Cause like, how will I like a show if I don't agree with the main protagonist. Started fine, but if
and that nana girl becomes the protagonist, it's just really average.


5.4/10 or just 5 so far. I hope she doesn't become the main protagonist and I hope this doesn't suck.

Edit: The spoilers are the first episode spoilers.
