| Don't get me wrong, the visuals look good, and the animation is flashy and smooth when it wants to be, but the plot and writing is beyond average. The premise is a very standard small heroic group of specialists taking on an impossible task, but even if this is done it usually has a reason for why it has to be a small group of specialists. Here it basically makes no sense, as every person in the world should want to find the guy. Even if they find a counter to the toxin, how would they even distribute it in less than a month? Even if countries don't take the threat seriously, shouldn't there be agencies moving around in thousands, if not more? Like the bunker should have been ransacked minutes after the announcement, given how obvious a lead that was. Nothing in this writing makes any sense. Giving a misfit band of criminals an expensive looking headquarters and gear? This isn't really a plot hole, more like is there anything but hole in this plot? Maybe I will watch it for the animation, but the rest makes it hard to enjoy even that. |

| It’s anime… it ain’t that deep. We are only 2 episodes in so I’m guessing that more people and countries will get involved. As for the average people, by the scenes of talk shows and stuff, it seems like people have just accepted that they will die soon. Also, the raid on the bunker happened within a day or two of the announcement, since most of the people who were there are not from Japan, take into account travel time and stuff. If you’ve started a movie, you aren’t going to watch the first 20 minutes and stop, saying “There’s so many plot holes” now are you… With Watanabe’s work, it’s more about the vibe then the plot anyway. |

| Brother. The anime just started. Usually the answers relating to the story get answered as the show continues. You should know this if you have watched/read any story previously |

| Beeing disappointed is fine. I just feel like, for some reason, this Show gets picked apart, where other Anime get a pass when it comes to some of the hyper logical analysis people do, on here. I think you would enjoy this way more if you'd just suspend your disbelief a bit. |

I think you would enjoy this way more if you'd just suspend your disbelief a bit. To your point of this show being picked apart where other anime get a pass is the expectations put on it because it’s from ShinichirΕ Watanabe. Which I think is a bit ridiculous to do after only 2 episodes but patience is an ancient concept nowadays π |

| it hasn't lived up to expectations but this thread is still beyond miserable. |
 |
| I agree. Can't fix boring and this show has it plastered all over it. To everyone that says, "Stop being so negative it's only 2 episodes in!" or "All these questions will be answered as the show goes on".... idc... it's boring and Idc to keep watching to find out. VAs sound bored out of their minds too. Animation is good when it wants to be and the music is great. That's about it, not much to talk about honestly. |

| Yet, better than GiTS SAC |
| :v |
| The first two episodes have been really bad, if the third doesn't vastly improve, then I don't see a point in continuing when the series is also very short. |

its so sad how much people want to hate on an original anime that isn't just a cookie cutter story
yet yall dickride solo leveling trash

| @VKDOOM This comment has me baffled, you think this story isn't cookie cutter? There are probably as many stories with this premise as there are isekais, but somehow this isn't cookie cutter? I would like to know where you are coming from? |

| @MichaelJackson Is it though? At least staring at the Major's assets Tachikomas being silly keeps me awake enough to finish the episodes. I was going to make a joke about some of the Lazarus's characters but they're all so forgettable I don't even remember their names :/ |

how many anime come out per season that is about a mystery angle involving criminals joining together to look for a pharma genius selling a human killing drug?
Now how many anime come out per season that is about some male teenager living in an alternate fantasy world trying to get stronger and get resources (isekai)? How many anime come out per season that is about a school romance between teens? How many anime come out per season that is about teenagers fighting monsters or demons or other people with the sole purpose to get stronger?
Y'all dickride all these shounen/isekai/shoujo ass stories that are always the same fucking thing everytime but wanna call an original anime like Lazarus repetitive when we are lucky to even get 1 or 2 of these kinds of shows a year. Make it make sense.

| @VKDOOM I see where you are coming from, you took the theme as a very narrow theme and limited your view about it to anime, while I was looking at the premise from a broader perspective of a 'band of misfits' genre, which happens to be a very usual premise for a lot of media, not just anime. But even in anime, the whole band of misfits premise is incredibly common and not what I would describe as 'fresh'. |

| dude its 2 episodes in |
 |
| Agree... nothing special so far, no likeable or interesting characters, just sitting around talking for 80% of the episodes follow by few minutes of nice animation... also the way they found Bilinda in ep3 is the most convenient plot progression I have ever seen... just saying name in front of group of strangers and luckily they knew her... else the story would end right there with them 2 dying. |

Dude I legit hate posts like this and this whole rating system. After one episode everyone rates something 7, but when it's a cliche isekai done 100 times it would get score 8.5
Can't you just wait till end and then form your opinion? >how would they even distribute it in less than a month - I don't know, that's the question every viewer has, you really think they didn't think of that? wtf?

MOST generic isekai are immediate 6.0s lol not that i give a fucking SHIT about score, but this is a hell of alot more interesting than they tend to be JoeChip said: I am more disappointed in the fact that this thread was started by someone who was born in 1987. πππππππ |

| Third episode was even worse than the last two. Without a doubt the biggest disappointment of the season, and it shows that Shinichirou Watanabe is washed. |
| The anime only aired 3 episodes so far...give it some time |
| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
