cedwino said: What a piece of cr*p. What is the point of having main characters with so unappealing traits? No money for living expenses but available for cigarettes, a very twisted business sense and unable to deal by himself with the job but with an unrealistic pride. Well, it's fiction but those main characters are just annoying. Dont forget they dont have money, they can pay 38k dollar and buy sleeping pill which cost around 17-30 dollar Also anime use all trope as many as possible, we have older woman lover, we have yandere woman who horny af and mc dont give a f about, and we have particular loser mc and soon become powerful from certain flashback or something like that Animation and Art appealing but story kinda make me vomit 3 episode rule now, Lycoris recoil somehow do better about story so far Also fun fact : NO ACTION TAG |
| lmfao, I hope this improves otherwise I highly doubt I'm gonna watch til the end |
| (Sigh...........) So, it's that kind of show. Hm, hmm... It can be a degenerate romcom with self-insert male lead, or it can be a Guilty Crown. For now, I know nothing about it. Be it plot, goals, and power system. Do they matter though? I don't think so, haha. I'm reluctant to continue this. Well, let's see if I have the "courage" to watch episode 2. P.S. That was a nicely animated kiss. I have to give the props regardless. |
 |
| All I'm gonna say is that I hope Shu gets some moments to shine and be badass. Way too many times have I seen this type of show where the guy is only there as a source of power for the girl, and he typically sucks when it comes to anything else, and is typically everyone else's punching bag. Let's hope at least some of that is different here.\ The animation was nice, typical of A-1. |
 |
| This feels like a generic show before isekai era. Really hope the main heroine is actually a yandere + a decent animation then maybe it could be worth it. |
| I liked it, definitely has some nice animation which is to be expected, and I enjoy the mix of weapons used during the fight scenes. First you got modern submachine guns, then you got futuristic looking guns, and then a hot girl with a sword-like weapon lol. And so far I do like the characters based off their brief introductions here, Shu and Kisara’s relationship is an interesting one for sure, especially after seeing that kiss scene lol, I guess it is in the title of the show. And Ayano is a nice 2nd girl looks like, I liked her little waifu battle with Kisara lol. But yeah this seems like an interesting one, I look forward to learning more about the plot because not much is explained here. And one of the great things about anime originals is that there are no manga readers to spoil it lol. And idk if that was the OP or ED we heard at the end but it’s always nice to hear halca! |
| high qual animation! Really enjoyed the fighting scenes. |

| duuhh A1 really improving their original works in these days huh ? remember the disaster which called Qualidea Code ? It pretty awesome. Looking for more episodes. |
 |
| What the hell was this? |
 |
And here is the second one from A-1 Pictures that was to be released this season. It was very good, the animation in the fight was great, and the design of the girls are pretty.  |
| It was very nice, was really hyped for this cause of the creators of DAL and seakano writing it. Animation quality is great and Kisara already my best girl of the season, the story tho a bit confusing right now looks interesting but it will be carried by the waifus sooner or later anyway. Also already love the chemistry between the characters especially ayano's and kisara's rivalry over shu, even in another universe tohka and origami still fight over the MC lol |
| Lol. What is this? Future Diary 2.0 ? |
 |
| Guilty Crown, Takt Op Destiny, or something in between the two. But this is already TWICE as good as both of them combined. And the Kiss in Engage Kiss isn't there for nothing. They totally nailed that part that's for sure . I have no idea what's going on but it has piqued my interest just enough to give this the chance of at least two more episodes. If the sakuga will continue and even be just half as much as this first episode, then I think it will be worth it. Still a 50/50 on whether or not it's a drop, but if I do continue to watch, it will mainly be for A-1 Pictures who I think many including myself have developed a newfound respect for after the likes of 86 and Kaguya-sama. And I don't want to jinx it, but I do hope the rest of this looks as good as this first episode which was quite bomb might I say. That usually is the case, but I don't think A-1 will let us down. The soldier asking if he was allowed to shoot them was the part that did it for me. Seems like the humour is a slight cut above the rest of generic-looking anime like this one. Anyway yeah, I'm going to be giving this the 3-episode rule for now. |

| Well, this seems fun so far, and I like fun. I thought that was a pretty good and interesting start, with some potentially good plot. I hope it keeps it up or gets even better. Ah yes, the power of horny. Fun + Plot + Horny? Sign me up lmao. There's action budget, but boy have you seen that kiss budget? That was a ritual all right. Looking forward to see where this goes. |
 |
| Thank you, A-1 Pictures, CloverWorks and Studio Trigger, for this collaboration. |

Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| This is another of A-1's projects which has some potential. I'm not a fan of the whole love polygon and I get my eyes rolled everytime they're shown in its own execution, in this case, it's not really my cup of tea but you know what? Like my whole perception of those quarrels, I'd rather stick to the other aspect which is what these series have, that is the action. Gave me a lot of deja vu but was satisfying enough in such a way they're doing missions in such an elite place and humans getting infected by some curses is always a fun way to set up a whole dilemma. The sakuga were amazing though tend to be jarring at times but I'm just hoping this whole love polygon they're hinting at is rather an equal ratio to the part where it's tension and mysterious, thus gravitating. Halca with another hit song truly makes me happy too. |
| So this is basically Val x Love. I dont really like it right now but lets see what happens. Anyways SEGGGGS. |

|
| A protagonist named “Shuu” and a pink haired heroine that can fight. Is this intentional? LMAO |
| Really enjoyed this episode and it reminds me a lot of Takt Op. Destiny, thought, I hope that it doesn't fail to deliver like Takt. Op. Destiny did. |
| This more like Mirai Nikki than Takt. Op Lets just hope MC doesnt much a wimp like Yuki is |
 |
| There's alot going on, but the animation seems promising so I have high hopes for this. halca on the OP :--) |
 |
| Oh god, I see this waifu bait trend is starting to infest. Shikimori is enough.🙄 I'm smelling dookies dropping from this season. Except for Kanokari 2nd season. |

| Didn't like this episode, it kept flicking between not explaining itself or just being kinda uninteresting. Just reading the mal synopsis kind of shows how much just wast mention at all. Also some please change the poster on mal, it is the wrong size and is super low quality |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| I was so confused with the character relationships, why would they throw them in scenes like that right off the bat? For a split second I thought Kisara was mentally deranged entering an abandoned apartment, cooking and talking to someone when she was clearly alone. Why are both the FMC already head over heels for the MC? why are they paying for his shit? is he a swindler or something? did he trick them somehow? why does loli lookin vampire get a power boost when tongue kissed? WTF is this? The character designs are cool and the animation is sick but other than that? WTF? at least give us even a LITTLE explanation on the character dynamics instead of just throwing troupes right off the bat. |
  |
| Pretty generic but the animation looks good |
 |
| Not too shabby but unfortunately I don't find any the characters interesting |
| Animation was crazy but thats what a-1 does lol And that kiss tho that was hot lol I really like the main girl |
 |
| I am getting vibes similar like Takt OP Destiny or Detective is already dead which were garbage, but had a interesting start. Hope this isn't going to be another example. Nevertheless, pretty wacky start. |
| Wild sakuga, but that's about it. The girls are alright, but the protagonist seems like an annoying POS so far. It's above average. See y'all next week! |

Lelouch0202 said: Went into this blind, in the beginning I thought this was some kind of rom-com where the MC was some sort of aspiring author. Somehow my opinion of the MC worsened when I saw and thought he was leeching of those two girls. Then when he put on those shades and teleported into some virtual meeting, I thought it was some kind of Sci-Fi setting where he was some sort of detective who was out of work, then when the demon showed up and they started fighting I thought it was some weird sci-fi fantasy action rom-com. Then they hit me the glorious kissing scene power up and really the only thing I could think was "Oh, it's one of those shows". Hey, at the very least I'll watch it for the cute girls and the kissing scenes, hopefully they hit us with some more of that goodness. Production seems really good, A-1 really bringing it home these days with the quality. That was pretty much my experience too, I had no idea what to expect besides what the brief synopsis has. I really thought this was going to be a slice of life with "slapstick romantic comedy" lol. They really need to at least add "Action" to the genre tag and probably a couple of more tags. I still enjoyed this first episode as the production values are high and the kiss was the highlight. Someone else mentioned this may be a 26 episode anime so I'm imagining that we'll get a lot more backstory on how these 3 people came to know each other, at least I hope so. |
