I'll just read the manga. It's probably better since the stigma with anime is that they don't include much shit xd

Nobody who EVER saw you on here, posting ANYTHING thought that you would enjoy this^^
You're an angry child. This is just not for you. And that's fine.

Don't be sorry. We didn't really care what you were doing.
Glad you're dropping it, instead of torturing yourself, my boy. Well done.

Yep, gotta avoid that Sunk Cost Fallacy

@Merve2Love Slice of life anime? Hell no young man, it's much more than that.

Potentially my AOTY, but I also don’t think it’s the kind of story everyone would like.

It’s a melancholic, character-driven sci-fi romance that leans on subtle hints for you to piece together the characters and mystery.
I think it’s the kind of story that really pays off once you’ve seen the whole thing, or if you like picking apart the details and making predictions episode by episode with other people.


It really asks you to empathize with the characters and linger with them in their feelings. If you can’t connect to them, it probably won’t be all that fun.
@samspot8r8s Might be an age or experience thing?
I've watched over a thousand and I'm 61 and I was about to drop it until the end of ep1.
Then ep2 just tied me down and binged 3 and 4.
I'm down and hoping they don't screw it up.
So good you don't know what to expect next.

There’s a very vocal group of people acting like this is the frieren of romance or something. If it’s so good why is the score so low

Well, it's my favorite series of the season (thus far anyway) out of around 15 seen.

I don't know why you or anyone would want to be "told about the basic setup of the world" in just a dull straightfoward expository fashion right off the bat as early as three episodes in when it's a series which makes it quite clear from episode one is going to have heavy mystery elements and rely on an atmosphere of mystery as well as Slice of Life and interpersonal relationship drama and romance. This is the kind of series I wish was and would love for it to go on much longer than what it's actually scheduled for with its one cour 13 episode run.

Imagine the series in the past with many dozens or hundreds of episodes, and answers or reveals to various things weren't given for a very very long time. Certainly long after episode three into them. Oftentimes the question or aspect the answer would be meant to address wouldn't even be raised at that point, so early into the game it is.

Anyway, see you on another sub-forum.

Agreed. It's been a while since there's been a good mystery romance anime out there, and they are teasing the heck out of us. Giving answers that only invoke more questions....I love it! Definitely one of my favorites this season, though I have a pretty broad taste.

At the end of the day, everyone has their own tastes. Not everyone has the capacity for something like this, and that's ok. They can enjoy what they like and leave the rest of us to enjoy what suits us.

Could be AOTY and OP drops it because it's not all handed to him on a silver platter immediately. Hell we were given that brief flash in ep 1 that this was a simulation.

Please write a review for this. As of now, it's rated way too high on top of only having positive reviews.

If you honestly felt that way about Kowloon, then just write a review.

well, im trying to like it too, but the setting seriously also doesnt pull me in.

i mean, i love the femal mc on a visual basis. i mean when she painted that room and sat on this ladder. dear god, i dont think i ever saw anything that beautiful in anime, ever.

but i really dont like sci-fi things, and i also kinda dont really like that i dont understand anything about the world they are in. i also already hate this dr. dear god.. i just cant stand to watch him.

i kinda feel like i also wont finish it. i still realise that its a good show, but its kinda not for me it seems.

I'm having a weird time with this show too tbh, It's interesting enough to keep going and watch everything unravel but I don't find one character likeable at all so the engagement I'm getting that way is very poor.

If kids knew how to read they would understand the concept of irony.

You're nagging on OP for dropping a show because it's not being handed on a silver platter. But you're also calling it a possible AOTY when the show is barely midway and could easily just go on a complete downhill, not to mention there's still 6 more months in the year that could provide way better shows.

Talk about hyperbole.

@Kimurah I'm calling it right now - AOTY in a just world. Of course they'll give it to some fantasy show instead.

ROFL. Talk about backpedaling.

In a just world? Don't you mean in your very own private bubble?

Best to ignore it. The sooner they leave the sooner negativity around the queer romance goes away

The homosexuality isn't even core to the story. This is about SEEING DEAD PEOPLE.
