| Intriguing first episode. We'll see where this goes. Things will probably remain vague for a longer while, so if these kinds of shows test your patience, don't expect an explanation anytime soon lol. |

| Just watched the episode and well, it was crazy and honestly kinda boring. Probably because my first impression of this Nozomi girl is the worst. Just can't like the character at all. Apparently, she is one of our main characters, so either she gets more interesting or I may just drop it. Honestly it just looks like a single episode OVA made by some random college group. The story could just end here and I wouldn't even find it weird. |
| What in the acid trip did I just watch lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Pretty good first episode. The art style reminds me of The Tatami Galaxy's which makes it pretty charming to me. There isn't anything crazy special about the characters, yet, but do seem interesting. So I'm looking forward to learning more about them; as well as their powers. And the plot if very ominous which I sorta like. So I'm also looking forward to finding out more about it. Can't wait for the second one. |

| An anime original story is always welcome. No people complaining about how they botched up the adaptation or did their waifu wrong.And an interesting premise too. LIke someone mentioned above, it kinda reminds me of Ryvius which not a bad thing in my book. Madhouse is back. This makes me so happy, even though I know they lost a lost of their top people |

Cerdon said: sKyBlazer08 said: Its possible that Hoshi is a red herring though, after all the door suddenly locked when Nagara wa trying to leave the rooftop while Nozomi was yelling at him, and this was the same time at which 'it' happened.I have so many questions... I love it. The visual style is really damn good and unique. Despite the episode not having any background music at all until the ending, it managed to be engaging and captivating. Nozomi is definitely mysterious, and then there's Hoshi who seems to be playing God. I have this feeling that Nagara is actually related somehow to how they ended up in that void, maybe I'm right maybe I'm wrong. Though that "demonstration" that Hoshi showed everyone is kind of sus, are they all like dead and he's some kind of reaper, are they actually in hell? I don't know, the only thing I know is that it has limitless possibilities. I hope it maintains its quality until the end unlike a certain egg. Yeah I got the impression Hoshi is just trying to make the best (for him) out of the situation. Nagara's power is going to be how this all started I reckon. |
| Such a great start, this caught my interest. The aesthetics remind me a bit Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue for the high color contrast. |
   |
| 1 episode in and this has become my favorite new anime of the year already lmao |
| Visuals were really nice, but I was ultimately left underwhelmed with everything else. |
| New horizons in sight. The darkness lifts to Lord of the Flies! |
| Man, this could go either World Egg Priority or Odd Taxi, I bet for the second. |

| Mmmmmh a curious and unique start for the show. This strange world they are trapped in could become really interesting when things starts kicking off. I'm more than ready for episode 2 ! |
| I find the boy with the star to be a bit suspect. |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| Never thought I will liked this anime lmao |
| Holy shit this animation is crisp. Reminds me a bit of ping pong. the writing style also reminds me of another anime but I cant quite but my finger on which. either way great episode. its not common i am interested in this many characters just after the first episode. also gonna start headcanoning that dude with a star on his cheek as trans. it's the ✨vibes✨ |
 |
| Okay, I've literally next to no clue about most of the things that happened this episode but I'm curious! |

| I watch anime for these shows once in a while. |
| I liked the episode a lot. I was wondering, how did they figure out their super powers? Did the "punishment" guys (not sure about the English term, I watched it in a different language) just yell words until one worked? XD |

XD The punishment guy does not have that as a power, it was a rule of the world, that's why the guy with the star on his face did it back to him for breaking the rules. "Anyone who breaks the rules can be penalized" was a "truth" of that world. Thank you. I guess "how did they figure out their super powers?" still stands, unless someone or something prompted them about the rules of the new world. |
| No telling why that school and why those powers, but nb for giving my mind to ponder on things. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| 36 students are stuck in their school which is surrounded by nothing but darkness. This apparently happens after a storm and they have also gained some powers(Nagara doesn't seem to be having a power yet). Hoshi suggests enforcing some rules but that fails as their world is already governed by some rules. Nozomi believes that they're in an alternate dimension and jumps out along with Nagara. And she might be right as they do go back to the real world, or it at least looks like the real world. Not even sure if there's an alternate dimension. This anime is rather intriguing so far. I like the artstyle and the color palette a lot.It reminds me of Paprika which had god tier animation. Both of these are by Madhouse after all, though this one has been made after Madhouse lost most of their major staff. Also an original anime with some weird stuff is always welcome:) |

| Wow that sure something REALLY special, that kind of "void" environment was great but seems like it already switched to something different with more realistic parts, the power thing is also interesting but it's still quite confusing right now and it seems random, same for all these "mysterious" elements like the school folded etc, I'm definitely interested with that 1st episode. |
 |
| This was a weird first episode but at least it has me interested. |
 |
| Not sure if I'll continue this. The premise and overall design really made me interested. However, characters were really terrible, pacing is all over the place and the mystery sounded interesting in the first 5 minutes, but afterwards just lost it's shine. Had to force myself to finish the episode. |
 |
| Cap's name is Tanigawa, isn't it? They mention that he created the "Drifting Classroom" group chat and he's the one typing afterwards. |
| As others have commented I'm also getting Lord of the Flies vibes from this. Lots of superiority feeling and jealousy going on involving the super powers and just this absurd situation. Looks interesting so far, I especially liked that last scene with the great song. |
 |
| What a boring and uninteresting business. I just want to see if it is all that they say. |
| Very interesting. You can see already see what they are going for. Nozomi, who doesn't want to conform, has a different colour from all the other Japanese people. That in itself is very indicative of what's going on here. |
| holy shit that was unbelievably fantastic, what a ride just for the first episode i'm hooked |
 |
| Dialogue heavy, but worth it at the end. I feel like this show is gonna be a wild ride. |
| 50$ that it ends up like lord of the flies |
 |
| No idea what happened here but I'm liking it lol |
