| Interesting concept that could be great if it’s executed properly. Unexpected ending LOL Also is every episode going to be this length? |
| This was a bit of a mixed bag, really. The first half of the episode was really strong, but the second half felt a little unfocused and like it was skipping a few steps here and there. Even so, it was interesting to see him figure out how to utilise his Sigil (which, by the way, is completely busted in a game like this, as he can create weaponry at will and basically never run out of ammo) to defeat Shuka. My biggest complaint would be Shuka falling in love with Kaname so quickly; I could have accepted it further down the line, but it's insultingly dumb to have it happen in episode 1. |
| A 50 min episode. I didn't realise it till I paused the episode. Anyways, I like Shuka already, the way she fights with chains. And the main character, Kaname, has an interesting ability. |
 |
| So, I was initially frustrated with Main Character (MC) because he was slow on the uptake, but if this world is otherwise completely normal, then I can see why you would be so confused when your friends keep speaking the pronoun game rather than explicitly telling you shit (unless there is some untold rule about not telling people). Him not reacting to the Panda was dumb as hell though. The "incredibly strong" female who got beat is the most irritating character I've seen in some time. The direction they chose for the voice is abysmal, the VA has done fine voice work before, clearly this voice was a choice made by the director, and the choice sucks. Not only that, but they such a bland stereotype. Despite being a fantastic player, she of course has to lose to MC-kun and get all over his dick, and become subservient to him. This show is just another fucking wish fulfilment exercise where everyone watching can watch and imagine themselves in MC's position, and how they'd clearly do everything better because they're not retarded, and hey, if he can get girls, why can't they? Also, to anyone saying that the girl at the end is going to be the best girl, maybe best of this series, but I only see another stereotype that will end up also thirsting for MC's D. |
| Well well Shuka made me think of your classic romantic yandere girl : strong, able to manipulate weapons (sharp generally) but with a strong love feeling that conducts her to be at your service 'til the end. As it was mentioned previously, this show gives a real Mirai Nikki vibe especially with the phone used to play and a sort of supernatural survival game. An interesting one, 48 minutes introduction appeared to be a good format. |
 |
pfft, who cares, it was at the end for this ep |
 |
| I love the manga art. The animation is kinda off. To people say this is ousama and mirai nikki because of cellphone this is the only thing that connect this three anime(yeah its kill or be killed/psychological/action) but this is more than that its a battle royale/pvp/clanvsclan mmorpg type anime.. I know this will be anime someday and im glad they did. Bl.sht detector sigil you will love that haha.. Btw: mc will develop to a good charcter and having a good set of skill.. And every other anime there is up and down. Just give it time.. |

| I really fucking loved the first 45 minutes. Good concept, fun characters and Kaname vs Shuka was a great fight to watch! But the fan service at the end ruined a lot for me...WHY???!!! It was insanely out of the place, this show doesn't need it! My rating for this episode dropped because of that from a 9/10 to a 7/10. I really hope they will left this out in the future, if this will happen in more episodes I will eventually drop it... |
| oh hell ya the first chick he meets already thirty for his D lol |

Don't worry, i read the manga and i can tell you that she meant something else with her sentence ("family"), moreover the ecchi stuff are pretty rare I hope so, thanks for the heads up! Looking forward to episode 2. |
| Well that was something. I got some Future Diary vibes while watching this episode with the premise, the main female lead and the way this show is totally ridiculous yet not boring. Main lead has got that usual naiveness you expect from this show but at least he's smarter than he looks and actually thinks instead of getting suprised all of the time. Animation is solid and I like this ost. Going to have to keep watching and hope it doesn't come to a point where it gets so ridiculous, it just becomes plain stupid and too edgy. |
  |
| Average at best, but Ive seen way worse survivals. |
| :v |
| Well shit. It’s Ousama Game meets Future Diary and I hated those two series. I’m gonna hard-pass this one. The fact that it’s only 11 episodes already hints at possible increases of pacing issues and emergence of production setbacks. |
 |
| Karino is a smoke show and that's all i need to continue watching this. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Summer 2025 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| So the protag sacrificed a noob bro, got a veteran blond loli in return as nakama. Worth it if you ask me. At least the author has his priorities straight. |

I dropped it 2 points because it was insanely out of the place. It made no sense. I am 21 fyi. |
| Gantz meets Mirai Nikki? It was edgy but still kinda fun. A main romance is always a plus point in my book but let's hope that she tones down her craziness. |
 |
| That ending was completely sexist, reducing Shuka to a damsel in distress and once a hero saves her she rewords him with laying naked in his bad and wanting to start a family. Come on Japan I thought we are done with sexist tropes already. |
  Never explain, Never retract, Never apologize Just get the thing done And let them howl |
| I really hope he does like any normal person and gets as far away from her as possible. She tried to kill him with no hesitation. I don't want another "Oh the enemy joined the good guy after being defeated and is now part of his gang" trope |
 |
| this one has reached the edge of edgy. the premise is cool and fun to watch but all those illogical and edgy scenes made me suffer 3/5 |
| Way too edgy, shit dialogue and shit animation/art style. Guess I'll keep watching for the story and MC's power, but that's about it. It's not hard to figure out from the poster, that they're all gonna join him.. |
| edgy but not bad . i just like watched this after the eizouken ep though and i got whiplash from how lame shuka is. y'all gotta stop doing this anime girl shit AnimeFeminist said: That ending was completely sexist, reducing Shuka to a damsel in distress and once a hero saves her she rewords him with laying naked in his bad and wanting to start a family. Come on Japan I thought we are done with sexist tropes already. anime girls at this point are like a different gender from actual girls w the waifishness to the extreme.... i don't get the appeal of this and i don't see how men could neither Mod Edit: Double Post Merged |
