Very good first episode. I love the aura of mystery that it has conveyed. The ending has left me with a lot of hype. Looking forward to see more.

The animation has been simply spectacular.

This is the first time that i have seen an anime from this genre and I must say that I'm interested, It was portrait perfectly for the begin of the anime. 

Looks like we see an future and an present where the 2 are in an big building or some sort where they are safe from the monsters, on the other side we see 2 that are wandering the streets and surviving on their own, looking for food or a place to stay, they came across some goons that wanted to steal their stuff but goddamn the fight scenes were actually made nicely, how Maru destroyed the guys and how Kiruko shot her gun against a pole and that pole melted, yup they were scared. 

Maru & Kiruko are still wandering until they come across an inn, the lady there is actually friendly and we see some fanservice as well, the lady tells them that there's an monster lurking in the nights and that they can't go outside whatsoever if they wanna stay alive, Kiruko actually saying that she can destroy it with her gun but i guess the beast is immune against bullets, anyhow when the night is upon them Kiruko and Maru go to sleep while the woman is loading up her shotgun, ready to take on the beast, and yup the beast lands exactly in-front of her window and the cliffhanger drops there, man what an episode. 

Can't wait to see where this is going, I actually like Maru & Kiruko as characters and Tokio & Mimihime as well, although they are still in that big building inside the walls.

I’ve heard of the manga for awhile but never got around to it yet cause of catching up on other manga, but I like the anime so far, it reminds me a mix of The Promise Neverland and The Last of Us which is a good combination to me, I just checked the manga to see how many chapters they adapted and they adapted 4 chapters this episode but there was quite a few things they cut out unless they are rearrange some scenes to happen in different episodes or mostly like it they felt they weren’t necessary to have in the episode

I'm bit late to the discussion but, is ti possible that Kiruko is a boy in girl body? The mirror scene and the fact that she clamimed to be a boy earlier gave me that impression.

Oh my, this looks potentially outstanding. The writing is really good, with nothing stupid or spelled-out about it, and it's visually really solid as well.

The beginning seems a little rushed! The character introduction is important because you can build the characters and easily make changes to them as the series progresses. The concept is great, plot is not properly set though all beacuse of confused pilot episode. Although, overall, I do understand what's going on, I'm waiting for another episode since it might get more interesting than it already is and I might understand it better.

The animation was great, and the characters look amazing. It's a well-done job by bringing Masakazu Ishiguro sensei's world to life.

A science fiction post apocalyptic series that reminds me of The Promised Neverland and The Last of Us. Kiruko and Maru are on a journey to find this place called Heaven in what's left of Tokyo. Something tells me that Maru is not an ordinary boy the way he handled those bandits. Kiruko on the other hand is tough and is not sacred of anything. We get a glimpse of what life was like inside the walls which was very peaceful, but some of the kids are wondering what's beyond those walls. Only to find out that there are monsters beyond those walls that makes the world beyond the walls Hell on Earth.

A solid effort from my favorite Studio Production I.G.

A somewhat rushed beginning, though Production i.G's production holds up, and BiSH's OP is fine (song-wise).
Nevertheless, it has potential.




I don't think this is rushed at all. I read the manga and it was a pretty good adaption. Not much skipped


It wasn't rushed at all, I'm pretty sure that knucklehead didn't even bother watching the entire episode considering he thinks Kiruko and Maru are siblings

1) Great 1st episode, was pretty much what I was hoping for

2) For some of the shit that goes on in this story, this seems a very odd pick up for D+. I really hope they don't go censoring the hell out of it.

Woahhh, that ep was so interesting !

I get why the ep is called heaven and hell now and why are paralleling both sets of characters. Kiruko and Maru want to find this place called "Heaven" where they will everything they need to survive, but the people inside "Heaven" want to see the outside world called "Hell". The concept of "Heaven" reminds me of the promised neverland. I am really interested to see what happens!! (ˊᗜˋ)࿐ྀུ ❀ꦿ֗

Premise isn't that new but I'm always a sucker for post-apocalyptic concepts. Moreover if they are executed this well. Really liked the pace and silence throughout the ep, I feel like those helped a lot to build towards the atmosphere they wanted to portray. Not extremely impressive, but I'm already digging the vibe, so I'm looking forward to the next one.

this was nice. reminded me of last of us and had more than one similarity in various ways.

the battery charging part was hilarious tho, girl well played.

that old woman is so dead though. bad idea to mix sleeping pills in their food, they could have saved her.

the ending song was nice.

also i'm so pissed at myself for removing this from my bench list in FAL. i considered putting it but removed it :(

That was a bit random haha. In any case, why does he have so many scars on his body? We have a new series with a post-apocalyptic setting apparently caused by the appearance of some grotesque beings that eat humans. The first episode is very enigmatic and seems to present two plot lines, you are not clear what it is about and what happened. But the mystery keeps you there and the animation quality is what you expect from Production I.G. when it gets serious and that has brought us great works like: Haykyuu, Psycho-Pass, Moriarty the Patriot, Ginga Eiyuu, Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Kimi ni Todoke, Guilty Crown, Youkoso e Ballroom, Ao Ashi and so on.

Typical apocalypse type of story, but the story plot, pacing, characters, visuals as well as the soundtrack are all very well executed, giving this series a very suspense atmosphere. Hope upcoming episodes can keep this up. If written nicely this can be another Bocchi level of dark horse of imo.

Okay so there is a lot to cover for a first episode. Overall, seems interesting, and the animation was really good.

So for the most part of the episode I was trying to decide if this is like Darling in the Franxx or The Promised Neverland type of anime - especially the place called Heaven/Tomato Heaven resembled those anime. But since the Director did reveal the truth (monsters) I guess its more for safety.

That woman (inn owner) seemed really sketchy about the monster bird and gun topic. I have a feeling that she drugged the kids and the monster bir either is her son or the monster ate her son or something.

During the kitchen scene she continued to hold the knife even when the kids said that they could kill the monster. Any sane person concerned for their safety would relax to hear that but she didn’t. Therefore it felt like the monster is her son (since they showed his photo and his toys) and she feeds the monster with the guests that comes into the inn - hence why it was very cheap.

Or I might be totally wrong and feel for these signs that I have misunderstood.

Also the girl saying that the boy is just an object for her to protect while the boy literally calls her Sis was kinda sad.

Whew. This one is smokin' hot. A fabulous first episode.

That flying creature, what a whacky monster.

I like the sci-fi/post-decline civilization setting. It's dangerous on the outside, man. Beautiful art, I'm loving the stills that folks have posted. Super cool composition and great landscapes. Lots of details - definitely need to rewatch and look forward to the rest of this 13-episode first season.

A+ first episode.
