| Im not digging Fushi's voice, sounds a bit too annoying for my taste, aside from that the first ep was an interesting one for sure, looking forward to seeing where the story goes! |
| I'm glad that the hype didn't kill my enjoyment of the episode, it absolutely lived up to it. I've been waiting for this show forever and the delay was absolutely worth it. Cannot wait for next Monday when we can see Fushi finally start his journey |
| Good ep but people are overhyping it, It was sad but not sad enough to make you cry. But everything about the anime was fantastic. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Amazing first episode, I always wanted to read the manga but I heard an anime adaption was coming soon, now that it’s here I will watch and pick up the manga afterwards. |
| Been a while since I read the first manga volume, but I think they nailed it. Music was done really well |
| Great episode! It’s one of the best first episodes that I’ve ever seen. |
 |
| It seemed inevitable the boy would die and it would become him. Damn, I was expecting something good from a series by the manga-ka of A Silent Voice, but damn that was even more than I'd hoped, this series could be something special. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| That was such a great episode. I loved A Silent Voice and know that I'm going to love this anime as well. |
| This appears to answer the question "What if we remade The Thing, but as a depressing melodrama instead of a horror movie?" An alien shapeshifts into a dying orphan boy's dead dog, and then hangs out with him as he slowly dies of exposure before shifting into his body and wandering right off again. All the while, dramatic music blasts away at the sheer unrelenting tragedy of this horrible plight. I want to know how an entire village sprang forth a few miles from his rock form, and yet apparently in those thousands of years of evolution, the first animal to die near him was a pet dog. These kind of depressing shows are definitely neither my bag nor forte, and this definitely won't make a convert out of me. The whole thing felt very exploitative. Kid is dying, kid is dying, kid is dying, wring out maximum suffering and tears, sad orchestra crescendo, kid is dead, but look how beautiful everything is in the hallucination of heaven. Space wolf watches all with detached, impassive curiosity. Truly, this is the ambrosia of life. I don't like dramas much, but when I do, it's because they're driven by the characters. And yet, this shies away from them going all Donner Party too, so it also feels a little spineless. You want to really sell desperation? Let's do it. Let's eat a family member. Or we can just crank the sad violins up another three notches and make everything hazy. See? Like you're looking through tears. |
| That was amazing, I think I'm gonna read the manga lol, I don't know if I can wait a week. |

| Peak first episode, they covered the introduction perfectly. |
 |
| It's finally here! I waited for so long! The animation is so beautiful. The boy looked like a student's concept drawing when he first showed up, but as the story kept on going, he turned more and more detailed and beautiful. The boy finally met people after his death. It's because fantasy can do things like this, that I love this genre. Slowly realising the boy has no one around him, and the reasons for him staying were also dead . . . yeah . . . it was quite lonely. A song by Utada Hikaru!! I love her voice so much! I didn't know she sang for TV anime. I had always assumed they would cut a lot of content and make the story a lot more fast paced if they ever adapted this into an anime. So far, they just adapted one chapter. I know the later chapters are too short, but I hope the anime adapts them properly. |
| Whoa that was a pretty good first episode, the music and visuals were on point. |
| I like the setting. I'm always up for some prehistoric times story. Very good first episode and interested to know where it goes. |
| The last time a first episode made me cry and get hooked, i was watching Attack On Titan |
 |
| I'm super surprised this is written by the same author that wrote A Silent Voice. Most authors I know stick to one genre. |

| Best first episode I've seen in a WHILE |
__t004 said: Amazing first ep although was predictable, was still one of the stronger seasonal released in the last few years, have high hopes for it and been restraining myself from reading the manga I think we were supposed to know what was happening. The final line hit so hard because we were thinking about the whole episode. |
| Ay yo, who's cutting unions?? and that in the first episode. If this is a sign of what is yet to come, I don't think I'll ever be ready for what this show has to offer me. What an amazing premiere. |
 |
| Alright this was an incredible introduction to the series. The visuals are great, the world is interesting, and the story is compelling. Even though you knew what would happen to the boy they managed to make it impactful and emotional. I am very excited to see where this show goes and I feel like this is going to be one of those shows that will be talked about for a while. |
  ★・・・・・・★ If you wish to treat this incident as our nation’s scheme, that is fine by me. History is written by the victors. All of your false accusations will soon be erased. ★・・・・・・★ |
| This episode just rips your heart to shreds. To see the happy positive boy succumb to his injury and unable to reach his goal. Interesting story though. It looks to be a good ride for sure. |
 |
| I got goosebumps after the first episode of an anime. I don't think that has happened to me before. This is a really creative concept and I am looking forward to seeing where it goes. |
| Man, you can’t pull that shit and make me almost cry on the FIRST EPISODE |
| Wow. This and Megalo Box Season 2 manged to blow me away with the first episode, but that's not surprising since both of them are emotional series. So basically there's this orb that was cast unto the Earth. It has the power to change into anything that stimulates it and come back to life after death. At first it took the form of a rock, then it took the form of a dying wolf. The newly reformed wolf eventually made it back to a village where it encounters a boy who is the last one left in the village. This boy kinda reminds me of Bell from Danmachi not just from a character design perspective, but also in personality. He's young boy full of positivity, but also very naive. The boy believes that the villagers went on ahead in search of "paradise" and he was forced to stay behind and take care of the elderly people until they get back. The problem is they haven't come back in a while so the boy sets off on his own journey with the wolf. However, the boy falls into a frozen lake and suffers a major injury. I'm surprised that he didn't die on the spot to hypothermia. To make matters worse the boy finds out the hard way that the villagers didn't make it through the journey so the boy had no choice but to limp his way back to the village. Meanwhile, the boy's injury continues to get worse and takes a toll on his heath.The boy finally passed away on his favorite chair. When the wolf made contact with the boy's corpse it suddenly takes the form of a human and so begins the journey of the nameless boy who will interact the world around him. I really liked how the narrator sets the tone for this series and his voice sounds familiar. Is it the same one who narrated for Cells at Work: Black? |

| That was very good indeed, almost cried when the boy passed away. |
 |
| I cried like a little *****. Music was almost too much, as expected from FGO and Altair composer. Maaaaaaaaaaaan. |
| Wow that was amazing. Haven't cried this much from an anime is quite some time. And this was just the first episode! Really fantastic stuff. Even if this was just some one off ova episode it would be great. I had a feeling the boy was gonna die probably about halfway through his expedition but man it still hit. |
| Been a long time since an anime made me cry. Even longer that an episode one accomplished it. Top tier show. Watch now. |
| I’m hoping this shot is corrected in blue rays. Other than that, 5/5 episode. I knew the premise going in from when it was supposed to air in Fall 2020 and at that time guessed that the “thing” would take the boy’s form after his death. I didnt know that the wolf would be the one to take his human form. But when the episode started it confirmed my theory and where this was going. It didnt affect my enjoyment whatsoever. Had a smile throughout and even though I did not cry or tear up I still felt sad watching the end of the episode. Curious to see where this is going but in my mind if the art and animation is average or even above average this will be the best airing anime this season. “Once this wound heals, we’re going to try again, Joaan.”  |
