I have only 3 quibbles so far. One: OP/ED animation is wasted on that castrate voice and garbage jpop. Two: animation style switch when Loser started his break-in felt off. It reminded me of TTGL and that really doesn't go well more realistic feel of the first episode. Three: 12 episodes is definitely not enough for a complex story. To be honest, it's not enough for anything other than crappy romcoms and LN ads.

I have to say that I'm really liking Loser's character. He seemed a little Power Rangery to me at first, but he quickly grew on me. I'm interested in hearing more about his backstory and what he plans to do with these "Numbers" once he's collected enough of them. Also, that dimension shift though. O_O

Anyone else think that Loser might be Mira's father? Their backstories sound similar, so unless New Tesla has some sort of company policy of murderong people's wives and daughters, I don't think it's a coincidence. I'm also interested to see where Kyoma's backstory is going. This series continues to impress.

Was hoping they wouldn't animate this arc but yet again it turned out damn good, 3hz doing this adaptation justice well.

Have you even watched these two episodes or just read summary somewhere? Might as well ask if MC has 3 hands.

I wouldn't be so dismissive yet, I can think of several ways that Loser could be the Professor - an extra dimension literally opens up worlds of possibilities.

Armsdragon's point is a good one, in two episodes we have two men who both lost their wives, both have a grudge against Neo Tesla, both have teenage sidekicks, both possess superior coil technology, and they were introduced in back to back episodes. That certainly suggests a tight connection. We also have a "mysterious" supplier of illegal coils.

So, Mira still thinks she is human. I wonder what her definition of human is then. Anyhow, she did her job. That's all that matters. No need to turn in Loser and his son. Is she even getting paid? In clothing I guess. Does she even need money? She should probably buy her own clothes if she's trying to get a complement from Kyouma. There's still a ton of unanswered questions here, so I'll look forward to the ones they touch base on in future episodes.

Uh, looks to me like they're going to try to rush a lot into twelve episodes.
We don't really know much about who is who and why to be honest. They kinda threw us right into a job instead of easing in and showing us who everyone is and why we should care. One thing I do like is that Kyouma isn't as much of a douche-- you can see a little more of his processing of why things turned out the way they did (maybe even a slight amount of guilt) that this adaptation actually took the time to point out a little more. I appreciate that.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

Better than the first episode, it seems that New Tesla is hiding dark secrets behind a false image, kind of an overused setup but I’m curious to see where they’ll go with this. The action is top notch, Loser is interesting in a way and I’m still curious about their world.

This show is fast paced and going all in with the action, nicely done there with Kyoma being a badass. I also enjoyed watching Mira's attempt to find all the communication jamming devices and those new clothes makes her adorable. The intorduction of Loser seems interesting and he may be just another viction just like Dr. Yurizuki and has almost identical circumstances with the exception of his son still being alive.

The fact that illegal coils are a taboo in the underworld makes things more interesting but I wouldn't be surprised if New Tesla were involved - could be defective products discarded or sold. It really suggests that New Tesla will reinforce their authority every time one speaks up about the technology. The incident with the energy leak from the exploding coil looked ugly and for a C rank mess, god who knows what the worst looks like...

@Takuan_Soho To be honest, if they mix time travel to it will get way too far-fetched. Creepy imagery extra dimension is just the right amount of magic in that kind of series. Add time travelling or aliens and it gets ridiculous.

Smooth animation, the action was good freaking Kyouma is a badass.
Mira looking real nice in her new outfit, she's a nice character.
Loser is an interesting character his burned face looked like that of the guy in batman
Things are shaping up nicely for future episodes
Overall a nice episode, solid stuff. 4/5
And I like the ED and OP

not bad,
can't say this is better than the manga, they're apparently trying to make mira even more cliche/fanservice(those "ear" wag), some of the background is getting lost too, but the changes in pace is an improvement, they also make kyouma less akward
eeeh... manga reader too, but i found it cute. it's give the reason why kids like her later. my only rant is too much ASS scene! they really go with it.
other than that, pretty much almost perfect adaptation. that dimension scene thou. that's how i see modern art.
well, mira was always a bit on the fanservice side, but also had other sides, which aren't getting as much focus, but agree, minor nitpicks aside this adaptation is being good

I don't like it that much so far idk. Wouldn't call it bad per se, it just hasn't captivate me as of yet. We'll see how it's going to progress.
Also idk about you, but with all the fanservice going Mira looks like a mascot character, more than anything else. Hopefully we'll see some development.

Hey hey hey, this anime is leaving me with a good taste. Very good second episode!

Kyouma is showing how badass he is, he has his ace in the hole. Very interesting indeed. And Mira, well, I have to admit she's is a sweet cuttie xD

I was intrigued that Loser told so many things about him so fast, I'm used to this kind of thing to be revealed later down the line, but oh well.

But really, was Kyouma using a 3D maneuver gear of something? I don't how he could move around with... whatever he was using jajaja

THAT IS HOW YOU DO WORLD BUILDING

This is the first sci-fi series since Star Wars that hasn't used any bullshit cliched 10-minute exposition to explain its world and give out clues to the audience. You have no idea how fucking hooked I am. Bring on the next week!

I've been hesitant to crown this as the AOTS since it's so early, but I definitely think this be AOTS when it's all said and done.

Great characters, especially with the addition of Loser. More story progression with just enough hints at Kyouma and Mira's pasts to pique the viewer's interest. The reveal of "dimensional collapse" which is like something straight out of FMA. Really hope this continues at this consistent level.

Also, the OST is top notch.

This episode is really well done!
The animation, the sound effects, BGM, a good advance of the plot, and of course a disturbing truth about the roots of dimension "W".
The last part was very disturbing, it's like an mixed-up abomination of dolls!
True manifestation of dimen "W" is really terrifying and very disturbing!
5/5!

I was thinking more of a slider, i.e. Dimension W is a parallel universe so there would be alternative versions of people who are coming across to stop this dimension from stealing energy (which could collapse both dimensions): so loser is the Dimension W equivalent of the Professor.

Time travel would be a bit trickier, however if they started to slip in a few definitions over the next couple of weeks, most likely coming from Mary, by the time it is revealed it would not be that outrageous. After all, it has recently been proposed that there are alternate dimensions where time runs backwards. That actually would be highly appropriate for any Dimension similar to what they defined during the OC (a negative X, Y, and Z would have a negative time component). In this show, Loser would be a future version of the professor, who was distorted in Episode 1, went into Dimension W, and then exited in their future (our past).

Now, not saying that this show needs to go in that direction, but I think it likely because of what the Neo Tesla guy said to the professor last episode. But I am not welded to this theory, I just like a story that has a point and doesn't contradict itself, I am very curious to see where this show will go from here because I have high hopes for it.

This anime is getting good. Probably my 2nd favorite of the season, though I still haven't seen Ajin yet and I hear people are loving that one.

I want to know more about the war that happened in the past where Loser got Twoface'd. I wonder who's fingers New Tesla stepped on to become this omnipotent force.

Great episode, definitely adding much build-up to the quality of the title. Loser reminds me a lot about Kagetane, albeit being much more on the Neutral, if not the Good, side than the Evil one.

Episode much more interesting than the last, the beginning of the series was not bad, but lacked the elements that made it exciting, now in the narrative are "appeared" the "right arguments" for this purpose. The entrance of Loser is not bad, has what they need to stand out as a character, drawings and animations good, although the sets are the things that I liked more than the plot, today. The opening rocks!

Even better than the first episode... literally every part of the series, from the characters to the setting to the animation, is a success. I have a strong feeling this show will be buried by the fact it's only a single cour (and an adaptation of an ongoing manga) and won't have anything even resembling a satisfying ending. >_>

Soooo enjoyable!! The action is so much fun.

We we're also shown the bad side of the 4th dimension, what is called ''materialization'' is quite interesting and a bit worrying.

I'm really glad there were also 2 new characters introduced, Loser and his daughter will definitely play a bigger role.

Mira was so cute in that one scene where she talked to Loser's daughter c:
