| I’m not going to let the MC off with that jumpshot at the beginning, who shoots when they have a free lane to drive and take a lay up? |
 |
| my favorite first episode in this season |
  |
| Hahaha, that instant rejection. |
 |
| Nice starting episode, MC already got rejected :( Probably will continue watching it, pretty interesting. |
| Who knew Odin was a chuunibyou loli all this time? Well anyway decently funny start. MC isn't too bad and the way Funi translated Odin is pretty funny. Let's see what PA works and Jun Maeda can whip up this time. |
| I'M SO DOWN FOR THIS It's got that Jun Maeda feel to it and I'm all for that. Now to see if the 12 ep limit will make or break this show like it broke Angel Beats and Charlotte. I believe in Jun Maeda because of his visual novels but his anime originals have suffered because of them not getting 2 cours. I wonder if this is because of the studios if Jun Maeda requests that amount of episodes. |
 |
| i mean it was okay, i was expecting charlotte tier animation but it's the pandemic after all. for some reason i'm not getting much key vibes here. |

| This was a really enjoyable first episode. The comedy was funny and I really want to see how this series goes with both Charlotte and Angel Beats being rushed. I really hope this series has the time to flesh out the world and characters without being rushed |
| Seems worth watching, tho all those attemps at humor were pretty fucking cringe, did not laugh at any of them. |
 |
| Amazing start. Hina (Odin) is so cute and I love how well fits Ayane Sakura's voice in her overactive character and personality. Jun and PA Works, don't fail me. |
 |
| Pretty good start I'd say. Hina seems to be one of those characters that's very annoying but somewhat endearing at the same time so i kind of don't mind her. Feelsbad for Youta who instantly gets rejected by his crush. I'm intrigued how his relationship with Hina will be like from here on out. I'm looking forward to the next ep. |
 |
| Good first episode. A lot of foreshadowing, especially the first part of the ep. Ayaneru's voice really fits Hina (Odin) in my opinion. I just hope the series won't be rushed. I got this issue about Jun Maeda and his jokes that fails to get me to laugh in the past (especially Angel Beats) but this was entertaining. I love the OST already. Can't wait to see how this emotional ride plays out. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| So, first episode of P.A.'s new series was pretty enjoyable and visually stunning - just like most of P.A.'s other 'works'. A lot of the sky shots reminded me of Angel Beats! and Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara. Lol, first episode in and our MC has already been rejected, that's rough. I wonder if Izanami will come around to him later in the series? I also bet that Yota's mom knows Hina somehow. The way his mom reacted to him just screams that she's familiar with her, at least I think. All and all, pretty good first episode, I'm really looking forward to the one. |

| Wow this hs to be one of the strongest first episodes of the season. Not too familiar with PA Works, but I enjoyed appare ranman a lot and I enjoy the art style quite a bit. Chemistry between Hina and Youta is great. Really liked the horse race scene, ramen shop owner was funny. I wonder if it will keep a more sol feel or if the 30 days until the world ends will take prominence quickly. Either way I’m hooked, can’t wait for ep 2. |
| oh god this is like going back 10 years in the past! like those animes with annoying loli, the main girl it's Index! but this isn't Shana or FLCL where there's some kind of reason or impetus for them to be together and achieve some kind of purposes. if you removed ten seconds from the episode in where she declares that the world will end, there wouldn't be any kind of overarching plot. The Generic Key Protagonist, a total doormat who drops everything to indulge in his tantruming manic pixie girlfriend's every whim while making snarky remarks to the camera and/or screaming overreactions ugh! Hell, it doesn't even have the fast pace of something like Ah! My Goddess. She simply gloms onto some random milquetoast twit as an excuse to make faces and shriek excitedly for twenty minutes. That's neither cute nor funny enough to carry an entire show, particularly not when it's the default state for most goddamned shows in the first place, and especially not when the thing it appears to want to do to stand apart is to crank up the volume of the shrieking. |
| Well, this show is definitely in the contention for AOTS at this point (fighting with Majo no Tabitabi and Higurashi Gou.) It has far better production quality than Higurashi, and somewhat better than Majo no Tabitabi (though that is no slouch, especially in the art department.) I'd expect nothing less of P.A. Works, my personal favorite studio. The characters were solid, though we'll have to wait and see how distinctive the protagonist ends up being. (As an aside, Elaina's smugness and Odin's smugness are both great.) It will really be the story that decides the best show for me, and I have high hopes for this. Promising the end of the world feels a lot like the reveal about Menma's nature in Anohana. We'll see if they play it out as a tragedy, a tragic drama, or a hopeful drama. I'm excited for the ride! |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
Fario-P said: First episode starts off with "Odin" sitting in a director's chair as she reminisces about memories. I feel like there's foreshadowing here already... Really interesting theory. I'm surprised not more people are talking about that beginning scene. MaxWyght said: Big brain time: Youta and his friend were riding the motorbike together. They crashed. Youta is either dying or comatose. Entire anime is happening inside his head while he is either dying due to blood loss, or while comatose. The 30 days is how long he's got until they pull the plug. Holy shit. This is so ridiculous, but Maeda is crazy enough to do something like this. ----------------- I have a feeling Hina's ability to conjure the dead will be used for something else later on in the show. Perhaps there will be a death that happens and Youta can conjure them for a sad scene? Or perhaps the themes of this show might mirror one of Natsume Souseki's books? Also, unlike what others have said, I think that the pacing for this first episode felt really fast, probably because of the slapstick humor and short turnaround of Hina's predictions. There will definitely be a tone shift in the show. I'm just not sure about how much they're hammering in the comedy so much, probably to make the shift look bigger later. Also glad that baseball is taken care of in the first episode instead of hamfisted into episode 4 like with Charlotte. |

| Finally a good one |
 |
| Honestly, I was expecting a more "serious" start but I should have known better when I saw a loli overreacting in the PVs. Well, guess I'm in the minority here but I think this first episode was pretty bad. Attempts of comedy were terrible and both MCs are incredibly annoying, Hina particularly with how loud she is. This aside, only good things I can mention were the stunning visuals and the scene composition during certain moments. |
| I was sad that one of my favorite games/VNs of all time (Rewrite) was so butchered in the anime adaption. I really am hoping this will make up for it. I've really missed Jun Maeda since I haven't gotten around to playing Summer Pockets yet. Of course we get the mandatory baseball scene, and the characters seem really fun so far. This was probably my favorite premiere out of the 8 or so shows I'm watching this season. I cannot wait for more! |
 |
| Loli god so cute makes you wanna lewd protect her. |
| I’m going to be so pissed if this turns out like Plastic Memories. Adorable show so far. |
| isn't her name hina? I'm so confused why it's odin because I remember the english title being "Hina: The Day I became a God". |
 |
| good first eps for the opening, also i just realized when see the description that Jun Maeda was sing the op and ed to with Yanagi Nagi xd, what a multitalent writer |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| so glad it isn't another isekai like i thought it was granted it's still a reverse one but added with this fact it's a Jun work and not a LN adaptation is a bonus on the other hand it's a Jun work so you can most likely guess what it wants to do to us by the end with it only being 12 episode at worst i'm expecting another Charlotte for now i'll enjoy the pretty PA works quality and fun character/humor |
 |
Didn't pass the baseball team's challenge. Rejected by Izanami. What a first episode. So Odin is really a God. Does Youta's parents know about Odin's existence? And the world is about to end in 30 days?! This is entertaining and interesting! |
| This was an enjoyable first episode. The animation and soundtrack were good. I like the characters already and the comedy landed well for me. Hope it will manage to maintain its quality |
| I was hyped as hell about this anime because the synopsis implied that this would be a tragedy/drama/romance anime where there's nothing to look forward to other than the end of the world. But the trailer seems to imply that the synopsis was full of shit and it's another "save the world" anime. Well, here's to hoping it'll be another Saikano, the only romance anime where the world actually effing ends. |
 |
| This anime is the only one of the season I was waiting for... And I don't regret that. An enjoyable first episode. I like the characters, Hina is cute and funny to watch (tough is a little bit noisy). Comedy is well, animation and artwork on point... And the OST is excellent, a sweet melody for the feels. Well done again Maeda-san. Since I'm a fan of Maeda's works I definitely going to watch this till the end... I can't wait for the next episode! |
ParkroverOct 11, 2020 1:01 AM
| Ohhh they are so cute well I'm guessing that in the end it will be sad or happy, cause this is Key work I've watched a few of it's anime and it was sad and depressing so I'm hoping that this will be a good anime. |

I just found a PV that I missed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpLmg2_BpK0 Looks like you're right about what they're going to do. ------------ I have a big ass stretch from something I saw in PV 3. ------------ Something that's more plausible is this anime's connection to Natsume Souseki, who Hina "conjured" when asked by Youta. |

| This was fun and cozy. Has Jun Maeda learned how to write straight-to-anime works? We'll find out. Also the budget on this show is kind of ridiculous for a PA Works. Tons of clippable animations, lots of key frames. |
| I don't care what my mom says, I'm not bringing an one eyed bearded man who is good at gambling home to live with me. |
