| I AM BLOWN AWAY. That was one hell of a way to end the series. amazing, beautiful, awesome. I'm so glad I watched it but not so glad that I binged it in almost 2 days... now I have no more link click T_T hoping second season will be here soon. |

| Personally, I feel like this show is slightly overrated (#24 at the moment of writing this post). I did find it enjoyable, but I also feel like it fell short in many places. First and foremost: the OP and ED were exceptionally good. I loved them. Then, in a show about time travel, I expect sufficient groundwork, i.e. settling on rules how time travel works in that universe. I got the impression that this wasn't too fleshed out (more like "roll with it, it just works this way now"). I especially felt that in the episode with the kidnapped boy, any rules that were established were treated rather loosely. The VAs were... okay-ish, this could have been better. It might have been the subtitles, but the dialogue was making their work harder, as it was kinda cringy sometimes. Animation was alright (OP was amazing of course, but the show itself was so-so at times). I liked the individual stories whereas they tended to get slightly overdramatic. But mostly, I feel like S1 is not as "stand-alone"-ish as it should be. We get no explanation of the powers, we get a major cliffhanger at the end.. nothing is really resolved in S1. It might have worked if the show put a heavier focus on the personal relationships of the main cast than it actually did. Storywise, I was waiting for a twist that never happened. The introduction of the villain was not super surprising since it was foreshadowed, though still entertaining, so I am fine with that, it just didn't make for that great "aha"-moment for me. (The showdown in the studio didn't make much sense to me though; QX didn't get any advantage from jumping through the photos, it merely seemed like a plot device for emotional impact). In the end, this is a 7.5/10 for me - but I'd rather round up than round down because the show was still enjoyable, so it derserves the benefit of the doubt. Therefore, 8/10. |
| I was going to lower my score for this show quite significantly if they decided to shrug and not try to do anything to save Emma but then the attempt was made and of course we got... whoa. I am going to hope that in the second season that a method is found to save her and of course the main trio but for now I'll give this show a solid 8/10. Found the introductory episodes to not be the best, wasn't until the kidnapped child that this really started to take off for me. I will say that the rules for these powers seem not to be set well and is the "whatever the plot demands", this could work well or not, will have to see how S2 goes. |

| nah they really just stabbed my boy lu guang?? anyways i loved every second of this, i was never bored and it did a good job with the emotional bits and the twists. i rarely give anything a 10/10 but it looks like this one is getting that rating super excited for the next season, i just hope lu guang isn't dead haha, he's def my favorite. although if he is dead in the next season that could make the plot much more interesting with cheng xiaoshi having to go back in time on his own without any directions being given to him, maybe he'll try to bring lu guang back if that's the case in conclusion i'm super satisfied with the ending, can't wait for the next season |
| So the chinese are also capable of pulling a Gainax ending. |

| mamas boy sus 😳 |
 |
| WHY END IT LIKE THIS!? Shit I shouldn't have binged it instead I should've waited for the second season and watched it all together. This anime really is a fan of cliffhangers. What's up with the ending?? I hope nothing happened to Lu Guang. Now what will Cheng Xiaoshi do considering how dumb he is.... But damn what a twist. I did think that there must be someone else who has similar special ability as them but I thought it was Liu Min who had the powers. Looks like it's someone else entirely, tho I wonder if it's someone we know. This anime really did a good job. At first they were just diving into pictures solving simple cases but after episode 6 it got really intense. I found myself wasting no time and watching the next episode right away. Really loved the ost and the insert songs. Overall 8/10 |
| I thought Odd taxi will be my AoTy, I guess I was wrong. I never feeling this thrillb robably since the first time I watching Steins;Gate. Didnt expect it will be coming from Chinese anime. 100/10.I will re-watch it with Japanese dub . And cant wait for 2nd season. |

| Last 3 minutes were the most intense & unexpected, i was at edge of my seat and then they hit us with a cliffhanger ending. I loved the detail when Xiaoshi Cheng said that game is over but in the end criminal said that game has been reset. It deserves a 10/10 for keeping me invested through out the story. Can't wait for S2!! |
 |
| Why did it have to end on a cliffhanger? I want a second season ASAP! |
  |
| oh god and here I really thought binging this show saved me from the suffering of anticipating an episode a week while it was airing... |
 |
| Absolutely amazing. I was almost tricked at the end, but caught the antagonist earlier to know better. Great use of lighting on the bridge scene to convey Xiaoshi Cheng as a savior only to rip that hope away from the viewer. The whole series has beautiful art, music, and the story telling is done very well. I'm glad I paced myself and enjoyed it a couple episodes at a time. 10/10 can't wait for more!! |
 |
| So basically everything we've been speculating, just throw it in the trash LOL This entire time, someone with powers that exceed their own, has been toying with them from the start. An episode with a 30 minute run time, as Xiaoshi was speaking to Emma on the bridge, trying to coax her out of committing suicide, we were nearing the end of the episode. "This is nice, we started the first episode with Emma and we're ending with Emma, with Xiaoshi helping her overcome the node which is death. What a nice series this turned out to be." -or so I thought. Because OUT OF NOWHERE IT ALL GOES TO SHIT WTF 8/10, what a banger. Can't wait for season 2. |

| Ok so I went from crying to my jaw just DROPPING OK A FAT BANGER OF AN EPISODE I kinda guessed that the “朋友” (The Friend that Liu Min kept calling out for) had similar supernatural abilities too but there’s so much still unexplained. Seriously wonder who it really is or WHAT IT IS. I can’t wait for next season!!!!!! Poor Emma, she just couldn’t be saved..... I think I may watch it again in JP dub hehe. But I love Xiao Shi’s voice actor♡ I think he voiced Xiao Shi really well!!!! For me personally I can’t tell apart from a lot of the main leads CN voice actors they all just sound like princes with calm & sexy voices to me lol it also doesn’t help that I’m Chinese & understand everything they say yet still can’t discern a lot of the voices lollooool but Xiao Shi’s voice actor really brought to life his personality & character. Can’t wait for Toyonaga Toshiyuki’s version of Xiao Shi♡♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| THIS DID AN ENTIRE 180 AT THE END |
| Inhales oxygen |
| Flat and lowkey retarded characters, cheesy writing, forced emotional manipulation, lame melodrama, generic edgy antagonist #6969, inconsistent time-travel mechanics, dramatic cliffhangers that don't affect shit, etc. Yeah... no. I think one season of this is enough for me. 3/10 |
Kristina_00_ said: Hi! Sorry for bothering you but i have a small request. At the very end of the 11th episode (after ending song) we could hear some voices saying something and also they put some text but they didn't translated it in English. Since you said you understand chinese i was wondering, if it's not hard for you, can you translate me those last 10 seconds of the episode? Thank you so much in advance ^^ Hi!! You mean the after-credits bit with the altered voice & static screen? The text is just saying to look forward to 2nd season, and Xiao Shi asking who exactly are you, and saying wait for me, Lu Guang ^__^ |
| ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Near perfect but I didn't want any hanging threads left over. I wish this was self contained in the one season. Bummer. |
| WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAAAT I'm going crazy I didn't expect this at all I'm getting goosebumps rn. Liu min power and his friend or whatever is soo confusing I don't understand who they're and how their power work, there's so much unexplained so I'm very hyped for season 2. Definitely a banger episode I didn't expect this at all, and the scene with Qiao ling holding the knive scared me so much, I thought she was the impostor all along I freaked out. 10/10 |
| What the actual f did I just watch. The series pulled off a 180 at the end. This series was so good. I really can’t wait until season 2. |

| That cliffhanger made me bumped down my rating. Overall this was a great series with some great moments, every episode was a banger. My favorite story was the village basketball/earthquake tale, with that guy That wanted to relay a message to his friends and mother. That story made me cry like a child at a mall. I wish to watch the sequel or maybe I'll read if it takes longer to come out. 8/10 |

| My god, transition from the most joyful emotional scene to the biggest pain in a matter of moments. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| WTF, does that guy have the power to come from the future (as opposed to Lu Guang coming from the present into the past). AMAZING anime and I cannot wait for S2 to get these questions resolved. |

| came back to praise this show, gonna rewatch again |

This episode was so perfect in so many levels! How every story mattered, how it's really so humane until the end, how it never forget that the story happens in the "real world" with "real world issues", how the real things where what made all the alternatives possible instead of the super natural power clap clap clap until the last second you couldn't tell if Lin's "power" was just being rich, if his "friend" was really just him noticing Xiaoshi having dived on other photos, how you couldn't tell if Emma would be able to save herself... everything that made it so good and humane and real and relevant also served as a distracting to minimize the supernatural suspicious... But... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... 2 That the have the CULHÕES to end that way... not even the most famous butcher writers have the audacity to do this most of the time. I'm shocked and chorando pra caraleo! EDIT: FOOOOOOOCK! From episode 8: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1931416#msg63539194 PaninaManina said: But, now that we are discussing this, maybe there was another reason why the whole scene was framed that way. Can we really assume that it was just a coincidence that it was during that scene that we received that information about a possible serial killer, and that he could be aiming women? And that when he tried to touch Qiao his hand had this strange "artistic" glow to make it more ominous?  Now I'm suspicious of everything. The clues where there all along! This requires a second watching. |

Oyashka said: not with emma's phone but through Xu Shanshan's phone ..remember when they got the weird messages from Xu, Shanshan's phone ? it was the suspect .I didn't understand how the guys sent the suspect a hint to find a photo studio. The subtitles said it was done with Emma's phone, but I think it's a mistake because she threw her phone off the bridge. Who understood how they did it? |
| |
| Well that was quite the incredible plot twist |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |
| I loved this anime ever since episode 7 and onwards, but all the episodes before it were.... meh/not that good, sadly. But at the same time you could view it as the introduction to the characters and build up for the story. I'm really looking forward to the second season! I already checked out the trailer for the second season, can't wait!! |
