| I have a feeling this is going to be this season's Feelcoaster anime. From the beginning when they show all that stuff. Its going to be hard to watch later on. Scarborough Fair in the opening is a treat to be honest. |
  "All it took was an arm and a leg" |
| I loved this first episode. The opening scene with that music, was amazing. I didn't expect to enjoy this episode so much. |
| So it appears this is the drama of the season. Amazing art and OST, tho the episode leaves a lot of possibilities, I hope this becomes interesting fast. So those lil girls are the "special weapons" tbf those lil midgets are a weapon of mass destruction... in another sense. |
  |
| The music was really good. The intro really drew me in. |
 |
| Pretty good first episode imo. Was pretty chill for the most part and Nygglatho seems like a best girl to me already. Just found it weird that some of the people are weapons but still pretty interesting. |
 |
| I did not expect Scarborough Fair, that was quite amazing. Aside from that decent first episode, looking forward to more good soundtrack for sure. |
| Wow first few scenes and I am already in love. The flow in the words. "I thought. I like this person don't I?" I repeated the whole part like 5 times. That BGM was spectacular too. Also I swear orangestar's Night Sky Patrol of Tomorrow fits the starting way too much. Great start. Very nice world-building. Good characters. I am in, yes. |
 |
| The LN witer is involved in this so that's great |
 |
Could be a greenish bear with no eyes. But the show goes on to show a number of frog people, including one caught bathing, so I'm sure she's a frog. :) Best MAL conversation. |
| everything looks good except the long title. the shorten one "sukasuka" is even more laughable. |
| Played Scarbourough fair.Characters are aware of death tropes. And the world is set up on floating islands in the sky. I'M SOLD AND COMPLETELY IN LOVE. |

| What the hell? This wasn't even on my radar. Based on the promo pics released, I expected nothing. Easily the best first episode of the season, besides all the sequels. |
| Knew nothing about this but the opening scene and the music instantly had me interested, looks like there might be some feels coming, which I welcome. Great 1st episode and fantastic animation. Definitely watching this show. |
DragonSlayer_19 said: NeverSleep said: The first scene, maybe we will go up to that point and get a second season eventually? Now I'm actually hyped. Other than that, I really like the pacing and the script of the episode, even if I had my fears with Wara Junichi being the director the rest of the staff being more experienced is probably giving him a hand. So far so good, now I just want the next week to come... That first scene ;-; They had to do it. I literally almost cried . From what I've seen from LN illustrations, the opening shot is from the last novel. It'd be shitty if they showed that then didn't get to it, but it'd be shittier if it skipped over tons of story to get to the end. The reason I was interested in this show was because it was a Light Novel series finished at 5 volumes. I hoped that it's 5 volumes because it has a well-structured and thought out story, like Fate/Zero's 4 volumes. So I'm hoping that this gets a second season if needed, or if it's able to condense 5 LNs into one show. There's plenty of 12 episode anime that cover 4 LNs, so maybe they might have an hour-long episode or something. |

Still on volume 4. There's tons of lore and world-building though. It'd be great if they stopped at ending vol 3 (or beginning of vol 4), and made a sequel (movie probably) to conclude it. I wouldn't mind it. |

| Can't really say about the plot right now, and the beginning is kind of generic but it got better. Towards the end it gets very amazing and so many feels incoming. THE atmosphere and the music are just so amazing! Looking forward to what this has to offer. So many great animes this season... Probably the best season imo in some years... |
Kou_KeikiApr 13, 2017 12:52 AM
| animation was amazing. it looks promising but i dont understand why there isnt many that watches this. is this cuz of the great sequels we have this season |
| I always love plot involving sky islands, those shit are always awesome. The last of his own race hmmm, that showed pretty badass, MC seem to have some ability as well but hasn't display it fully. Can't wait to see some good wholesome family love and battle. |
| I feel like it's time to start packing my bag to get on the feels train. I really enjoyed this first episode. I'm excited to see where the series goes. |
 |
| The scene at the beginning was the future right? I mean the girl that killed herself has the same exact hairstyle as the main female girl. |
| "I lost all of what you could call feelings of love. They weren't sealed, so they can't be released. They weren't broken, so they can't be fixed. That which is lost, cannot be recovered." Shiba Tatsuya "There are no regrets. If one can be proud of one's life, one should not wish for another chance." Saber "No matter what happens, no matter how crazy things get, I'll always try to restore balance." Korra "It's madness to let others take what's yours and accept it blindly." Baatar Jr "Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong." Zaheer "Partner in crime, partner in time" Chloe Price and Max Caulfield |
| Definitely one of my favorites so far |
 |
| This is one of the greatest LNs ever... Please Please Please be a good adaptation <3 And from first episode it looks promising |
| That was such an amazing start.. I immediately fell in love with this anime. That beautiful soundtrack. The little girls are tooo adorable holy shet. <3 |
| Honestly don't see why so much praise, the sinopsis sounded good but the weeb tropes drag it down. |
| Looks promising, so I've heard the author involves with the anime script, so this seems like going to be guided well by the author. Really good insert song reminds me of Grimgars scenes with insert songs. The first scene got my interest, red haired girl but blue haired at start,...blood,...war. Looks like going to be pretty dark huh. |
 |
| Chtholly Nota Seniorious looks like the adult version of Noel (Sora no Method). They are similar in their looks :P Very promising first episode. Based on the description I read this anime could be a great drama story. |
 |
| All about them color coded lolis. |
| Have to say the first half of the ep was nice, it looked like an interesting fantasy/postapo anime, I even liked reverse racism themes. And the world full of different flying islands is also something that could be very wonderful to explore. BUT... then the second part of this episode came o_O Forget the troll/orc woman who looked like ordinary onee-sama, I can deal with that. But to have bunch of small (weapons-)children thrown onto main hero when it's obvious already there would be moe overload that would inevitebly destroys this world-building I was writing about in the first paragraph, that is something I can really cope with. I was like 'Really?' and 'Why, oh, why'?!! Not to mention it is inevitable they will start dying and I can already see the forced drama where this leads. Without this children I would be pretty hyped about this title. With them, well, I consider dropping this before or after the next ep... |

Oh man, I'm literally laughing at these assumptions cause this story has none of what you say. The poster had children on it. What were you actually expecting? But I digress. If there's anything that sukasuka excels at, then it's lore and world-building and characters aren't just walking figures for moe factor and interact nicely with each other (if we say the studio remains faithful to the source as in this episode). There's nothing forced. Also, i have to point something though it will be shown, but some people are impatient. These kids can't fight now. There's certain steps a fairy takes before becoming a full fledged soldier like kutori who is 15. But hey you're free to assume whatever... |

Yeah, everything would be very dramatic and tearjerking in few eps, I have already seen many shows with such promise. I actually liked the worldbuilding as I wrote before. I would loved if this show explored this post-apo world and its laws. But I would be fine with Kutori only following main hero, maybe with Naigurato too (but even then, her appearance is pure fanservice, considering her race) but the fact that they are weapons (including those little girls that I see more as a annoyance)? Nope, there is nothing interesting in that, it's just your usual anime cliche we've seen many time before. Why to even have tons of other races when most of the main girls looks like humans, not to mention there would be your usual stereotypes? I would rather watch good drama where the world doesn't rely on small girls to save everyone (again). I would rather watch good fantasy where main hero explores those little islands and their different cultures and problems rather than babysitting his stupid growing loli harem. One can ask moral questions about their future deployment only when they accepts that loli fanservice is heavily interweaven into the story and world rules. And in world as rich as this I simply don't see any need of such otaku cliche. |
| This seems like an interesting show with an amazing premise! And does anyone know who sang that cover of Scarborough Fair? I would love to find them! |
smartie344 said: This seems like an interesting show with an amazing premise! And does anyone know who sang that cover of Scarborough Fair? I would love to find them! Its Yamada Tamura. She sang the PV song, too. One can ask moral questions about their future deployment only when they accepts that loli fanservice is heavily interweaven into the story and world rules. And in world as rich as this I simply don't see any need of such otaku cliche. There's absolutely no fanservice at all, and the only female character Willem likes is Chtolly. All the other little girls he sees as his own children, not as future wives. This isn't Black Bullet. Your assumptions are hilariously wrong. |
| A walkway filled with FURRIES. And they aren't MADE WITH CG!? Really liking the music in this anime, the ones with vocals are lovely. Characters seem pretty interesting, as well as the world itself. And above all, the girls are adorable. I like them. This was way nicer than the description made it sound. Only thing that bugged me about this, was the salty coffee. That disturbs me. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |

Just how exactly would you do the "Last Human runs an orphanage of lethal secret child weapons" without, you know, actual children? Mich666 said: But I would be fine with Kutori only following main hero, Following where? As MC said he can't fight and he does not exactly have a goal in life. maybe with Naigurato too (but even then, her appearance is pure fanservice, considering her race) Her appearance fits the original idea of a troll before Tolkien-version of the trolls overwhelmed the industry. There are two folklore ideas of trolls - one is the tolkien-ish huge monsters living under bridges. Other is creatures capable of mimicking human beings, who behave more akin to the witch from Hansel and Gretel - tricking weary travelers and children with hospitality and then eating them or bringing misfortune upon them. The word troll literally stems from idea of "magic causing mischief". but the fact that they are weapons (including those little girls that I see more as a annoyance)? Nope, there is nothing interesting in that, it's just your usual anime cliche we've seen many time before. Wut. I must have missed all those shows about child soldiers. Why to even have tons of other races when most of the main girls looks like humans, not to mention there would be your usual stereotypes? Maybe that's a plotpoint? Also beyond the maid(which already is explained by the troll lore), what stereotypes? I would rather watch good fantasy where main hero explores those little islands and their different cultures and problems rather than babysitting his stupid growing loli harem. That would not be a show about last human on earth taking care of children though. Do you see Action or Adventure tags on MAL anywhere in regards to this show? No. Its "Sci-Fi, Drama, Romance, Fantasy". If we go to other databases for the LN, the tags are the same, with sometimes additions of Slice of Life, Tragedy and Psychological genres. SO Why expect that premise you wrote in the first place? You don't go watching Grave of Fireflies and then complain its not Kino No Tabi One can ask moral questions about their future deployment only when they accepts that loli fanservice is heavily interweaven into the story and world rules. And in world as rich as this I simply don't see any need of such otaku cliche. What fanservice? |

| Don't really see the value of the flash forward TBH, it just felt dumb. anyway it was an alright starting episode. the best part of the show was just the two characters walking around the city, and only music playing. it was a great way to show a but of the characters personalities as well as seeing them grow fond of each other without having to go through a long monologue. however it all just feels very contrived from the guy and the girl meeting in the first place ti the guy joining the military and guarding some weapons which so happens to be her and some other girls. the characters aren't much worth noting right now, there's the typical light novel protagonist, waifu-bait, and some little girls who fit into certain archetypes. it's probably one of the better light novel adaptations to come out this season, but that's not saying much, anyway i might as well continue watching it because it's at least interesting if anything. |

| Can anyone explain first scene or later it will be explained ? AOTS ? |
 |
| Satelight actually doing a good TV series, well that's new... I'm liking this, there's no harem which is good, I like harem but I'm getting bored of it. The LN ended right? Will we get a full adaptation? |
| pretty good and astonishing, i would know if this would become good as the story improving. also the music would become my favourite this season. |
| Watch aria the animation and it's sequel. |
| Wow, i could tell the uniqueness right from the start, but that OST, damn. "Are you going to Scarborough Fair?" I cannot wait for the OST release. I have high hopes for this surprise of a series. No, Oni =/= Troll, writer should have studied that one better :C The extra detail in making things feel natural is very welcomed, as opposed to often contrived-feeling anime. THESE LOLIS   I want to .....hug them all!!! They're so adorable. |

| I find it humorous that people are complaining that there are lolis when MC is at an orphanage. With that being said, this episode was alright, there wasn't anything spectacular and the whole humanity being instinct should be something that is shown and not just told so I am hoping at some point we can see in a flashback on how the human lost and how this guy is the only survivor. |
