| I wonder if it's simply because I know that this anime is produced by KyoAni that I find traces of other KyoAni shows, especially Chuuni, Haruhi and Hyouka, but it feels like someone threw those things into a blender and now I'm watching the end product. Not that it's bad, but a bit too much exposition. Show, don't tell is so rare nowadays...4/5, looking forward to see what happens, it's a promising show. |
| I personally enjoyed watching the first episode, might try out the second and see how it goes :) Kyoani's animations are amazing as usual. |

Hmm, I didn't sense that at all (and I like Bakemonogatari). I wouldn't really go so far as labeling any show with supernatural undead type elements as trying to be like Monogatari. Care to explain? I feel it too, in some scene, it feels like they tried to be (or inspired by bakemonogatari direction), but without a quality dialogue it doesn't feel right to me. In example the conversation scene between the main male lead with that token childhood friend. And that scene when the main male lead talking with Mirai in the park, that random glasses appearance, feels like a fail attempt to be stylish |
| I enjoyed the first episode but it totally gives off a Bakemonogatari vibe to me too, but I don't really think that's a bad thing (yet?) The main character seemed very much like an attempt to fuse Kyon and Araragi together and the opening Literature Club scene was very similar (to me at least) of the opening to Bakemonogatari with Hanekawa and Araragi. Only difference being the girl seemed more Hitagi like. I still enjoyed the episode though so the show has my interest for now. |

| If this is an effort to displace SHAFT, then Kyoukai is no Bakemonogatari. |
| Find it funny how supernatural elements in the anime leads people to believe it's a Bakemonogatari wannabe. I liked this episode, fight scenes were really well animated. Let's see how it goes during the next following weeks. |

It's nowhere close to Bakemonogatari. Average dialogues found on most anime of similar genres. |
| Aliis si licet, tibi non licet. |
| Enjoyed the first episode, looking forward to seeing the rest. OP and ED are great, especially the ED! |
| This was my most anticipated show of the season but I feel let down from the first episode. From watching the PV, I was fascinated with Mirai's character but she left a very doubtful first impression on me. Too stabby for my liking and this is strangely coupled with her clumsiness. I'm not sure if this was to signal the moe factor but it just doesn't work for me. On Mirai, I don't see it as cute, it's more a put off. I feel very uninterested in her now. I'm not fond of the immortal MC either. OP and ED wasn't memorable on first viewing. Visual presentation was top notch as expected. Action sequences felt like just that, shallow action scenes. I didn't feel any hook to keep me excited and there was too much slow-motion when Mirai was dodging and slicing things. This was more chuunibyou than Chuunibyou. It just ended up feelng like a big advertisement for KyoAni's skills rather than a piece of storytelling. Still, I have hope for future episodes because the blood sword is just awesome. |
| I hope there'll be some romance further down the line. Not a huge fan of the fantasy/action scenes but the animation was great. The OP and ED were good too. |
| I simply can't stop replaying the ED song.It's so damn good and relaxing. |
 |
| really enjoyable first episode and the animation and music were fantastic but it feels like i've seen this story before |
| Six words to sum up my feelings toward this anime: GIRL IS ANNOYING AS HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Honestly, the first episode went about how I expected it to. Although, I do see how you can draw the Bakemonogatari references. I did honestly say while watching this, "this feels like the Kyoto Ani version of Bakemonogatari." Anyway, was it good? Yeah, it kept me interested. It wasn't really as dark and ominous as I thought it was going to be but it was still alright. |
| Starts off as a "suicide attempt","at any rate,someone who looks as good in glasses as you simply must not die!""Basically,I love glasses!" Goddamn,wasn't expecting Mirai to attempt to kill Akihito so early on. Absolutely love the OP,loved it every since the first pv that had it.The backgrounds seems extremely interesting too,can already tell this is going to be an amazing series. Mirai is so moe,my heart can't take it. "Do you have any ideas how many times you've stabbed me this past week?" Lol,don't hear that everyday. Akihito is a half-shade.A rare entity,the child of a dreamshade and a human. Great animation during the chase scene,was pretty intense too.Lol'd when Mirai stopped because of the bucket on her head. Ninomiya Shizuku reminds me of Oshino from Monogatari.Since she's an adult oddity or in this case a dreamshade specialist. Mirai hasn't tooken out any dreamshades and was practicing on Akihito. Deal is made,buy me food and I won't attack you. The Nase clan is wary of Kuriyama Mirai. "Yeah,yeah,I'm hated everywhere I go!My blog and twitter keep getting flamed,too!" lmao. Akihito offers to help kill the dreamshade since Mirai is scared.She seems to have a tragic backstory.Based on the flashback I'm guessing she witness her clan/parents being killed. ED was really nice too.Really liked the beginning beats,and the rest of the song was really chill.Nice end card btw. Looks like the first battle starts next episode,can't wait to see it considering how amazing the chase scene looked.Wonder what's up with that ring Mirai takes off in the pv,does it unleash her full powers or something?Also saw Ai in the pv can't wait to see her too. |

| A pretty interesting premise so far. Wow, Tsukishima's voice! Hahaha. Honestly, Mirai is so cute. Can't wait to see how KyoAni handles this supernatural anime. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Animation and colors are amazing, as expected from KyoAni characters are cute and i like the plot also love the ending, and the opening isnt too bad looking forward to rest of the series |
| The animation and art are really good, show itself seems alright. I just really hate how Mirai looks. |
| damn Mirai is adorable and Aki seems like a pretty cool guy. I really like how the blood sword looks and dat OP |
| Disappointed, to be honest. Red_Keys said: Called the shit out of it. God fucking damn it.>Immortal male MC Wonder how many times he's going to be stabbed, or otherwise torturously maimed just for the purpose of gore-fanservice and/or comedy. VanishingKira said: LOL indeed. The fact that this line was delivered as a fucking comedy line just tells us how little we're actually supposed to care about the MC. Fucking hell.."Do you have any ideas how many times you've stabbed me this past week?" Lol,don't hear that everyday. There were several things that just made me disinterested, annoyed, or otherwise lessened my enjoyment. The fact that, as usual for every fucking anime, the MC is talked down to and treated like dirt by his close acquaintances. I wouldn't be so adverse to it if it weren't portrayed as a one-way thing. Like, I'm condescending as shit to my friends, and tease them all the time. But they do it right back to me. It's a two-way street, and honestly, being comfortable with mutual playful aggression is a huge sign of friendship and closeness. But when it's only one person constantly being condescending, and the other person constantly being the butt of the joke/victim, it's not fucking friendship. It's bullying. This has always been a pet peeve of mine in anime, and it's just that much more disappointing for me this time, because I had high hopes. Can't wait to see how much inconsequential, unaddressed, and oh so hilarious verbal and physical abuse our MC is going to go through by the end of the series. The second that girl mentioned the word "pervert" and "masochist", I fucking cringed. God damn it. And then about the MC himself. I half like him, half dislike him. The most I'll say about him, is it's fucking annoying and eye-roll inducing when he goes off on little chibi-face tangents about glasses or whatever else "hilarious" perverted crap. The first few lines he said when he thought she was going to jump off the building about how "a girl who looks that good in glasses shouldn't die" or whatever, made my jaw literally fucking drop with how retarded it was. Seriously? Like.. sighh.. seriously? And then glasses girl herself. She's irritating. Her whole moe personality feels forced as shit, and she just comes off as mentally challenged. And what the fucking hell was up with that one line about the monster or w/e in her apartment, when asked why she doesn't just get rid of it? "I'm afraid... I'm afraid of taking its life..." Uhhhhh.... hello bitch? Excuse me? You just fucking stabbed the shit out of Akihito, full well intending to straight up murder him in like the first 30 seconds of the episode without any provocation. Now you're all of a sudden "afraid of taking its life"? Am I the only one who straight up WTF'd at that line? Ughhh I'm just venting now. So fucking disappointed. I guess I'll keep watching though, hopefully it gets better. I really liked the Ending song and animation. |

God fucking damn it. No you didn't. There was only one scene on the beginning where he got stabbed and there was only a bit of blood. Gore fanservice where? LOL indeed. The fact that this line was delivered as a fucking comedy line just tells us how little we're actually supposed to care about the MC. Fucking hell.. What? how did you make this connection? so what if the MC joked about that. Nothing important happened yet to make anyone care about any character in this show. There were several things that just made me disinterested, annoyed, or otherwise lessened my enjoyment. The fact that, as usual for every fucking anime, the MC is talked down to and treated like dirt by his close acquaintances. By who? nobody did that, you are just oversensitive or never had real life friends before. The childhood friend just joked about his Glasses fetish and called him a pervert, how is that simple exchange of endearment between old friends count as '' talked down and treated like dirt''. Oversensitive indeed I wouldn't be so adverse to it if it weren't portrayed as a one-way thing. Like, I'm condescending as shit to my friends, and tease them all the time. But they do it right back to me. It's a two-way street, and honestly, being comfortable with mutual playful aggression is a huge sign of friendship and closeness. Everyone had different personality and it didn't annoy him because it wasn't a big deal. Sheeesh.. But when it's only one person constantly being condescending, and the other person constantly being the butt of the joke/victim, it's not fucking friendship. It's bullying. This has always been a pet peeve of mine in anime, and it's just that much more disappointing for me this time, because I had high hopes. Wait what..? you are still going on about that. Bullying?, oh dear. The first few lines he said when he thought she was going to jump off the building about how "a girl who looks that good in glasses shouldn't die" or whatever, made my jaw literally fucking drop with how retarded it was. Seriously? Like.. sighh.. seriously? That was hilarious. Shitty sense of humor detected. That's why comedy in fiction is different. And then glasses girl herself. She's irritating. Her whole moe personality feels forced as shit, and she just comes off as mentally challenged. And what the fucking hell was up with that one line about the monster or w/e in her apartment, when asked why she doesn't just get rid of it? She is not confident in her ability to take care of it, duh. Plus there is dark incidence related to those monsters ( that dark quick 3 sec scene) Uhhhhh.... hello bitch? Excuse me? You just fucking stabbed the shit out of Akihito, full well intending to straight up murder him in like the first 30 seconds of the episode without any provocation. Now you're all of a sudden "afraid of taking its life"? Am I the only one who straight up WTF'd at that line? She thought he was that monster thing and since he looked harmless unlike the other monster thing, she went for it. So mature, insulting a fictional character, did she threaten your masculinity somehow? Ughhh I'm just venting now. So fucking disappointed. I guess I'll keep watching though, hopefully it gets better. I really liked the Ending song and animation. No just drop it and spare us. |

| man this anime is so boring. who would watch fluff like this? it's got 2 seconds of substance for every 5 minute of fluff i thought this was an action show but it's just pointless slice of life. |

If the audience doesn't care about the fucking main character of a show, that show is pretty shitty. And we were shown that, right off the bat, we as the audience are not supposed to care about the main character. We're supposed to laugh at his misfortunes.He didn't joke about it. It was the tone of the scene and how his line delivery was portrayed that made it seem like it was a comedy line. In fact, he was doing the opposite of joking about it: he was complaining. Pointing out the obvious fact that getting stabbed fucking hurts. But they decided to make him all chibi faced, and give him a whining tone, consequently making it seem like he was complaining about something not important. Like he was being bratty. Like it's not a legitimate complaint. Like getting fucking stabbed repeatedly for no reason isn't a big deal. Like it's just something that you should brush off your shoulder. It's funny because we don't give a damn about him. If you're with your mother, and a random piano comes falling down and crushes her to death, that's not fucking funny, because you care about your mother. If you're watching a cartoon, where some random douche gets crushed by a falling piano, it's funny because you don't give a shit about that guy, and can laugh at the bizarreness of the situation. It's the emotional investment on the viewer's part that determines whether or not a situation like this is funny or tragic. Is it really that hard to try and attempt to not take everything at face-value, and actually think about what you're watching? Jesus. By who? nobody did that, you are just oversensitive or never had real life friends before. The childhood friend just joked about his Glasses fetish and called him a pervert, how is that simple exchange of endearment between old friends count as '' talked down and treated like dirt''. Oversensitive indeed Because it wasn't an "exchange". It was downright condescension.Everyone had different personality and it didn't annoy him because it wasn't a big deal. Sheeesh.. It didn't annoy him because he was written in such a way that his emotions don't matter, and we aren't supposed to care about them.It'd be like (and yes, this is an exaggerated example) if a character's father severely beat him constantly, but that character never seemed to care about it and it never affected him negatively, it is never addressed, and never resolved. "Sheesh, big deal, he doesn't even care". That character would be incredibly unrealistic, and overall terribly written. Him "not caring about it" is the equivalent of the audience not being supposed to care about him. Which is just bad writing. Not saying the series is going to continue with this (which I'm hoping it's not), but it's currently looking that way. Wait what..? you are still going on about that. Bullying?, oh dear. Yes, I'm "still going on about that".And it's more of a tone thing that I have a problem with. Yes, the scene wasn't outright bullying. But it set up the tone for the rest of the series for their relationship: She is constantly condescending, he is the butt of the joke. That was hilarious. Shitty sense of humor detected. That's why comedy in fiction is different. I got out of 7th grade a while ago.And then glasses girl herself. She's irritating.

| I have a feeling Kuriyama is going to drive me nuts before this show is over. Damn, she's an idiot! Too afraid to kill a youmu in her apartment, but has no trouble stabbing a human. Talk about ass-backwards and crazy. Thank the goddesses that Kanbara is immortal. Anyways, beautiful art and animation. And, there may actually be a decent story in here somewhere. I'll keep watching. |

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but her hand was shaking before she stabbed him just like when they met the first youmu and the guy figured out that shes scared of youmu because her hands were shaking. |
| Yay its here! I really love Mirai's powers. It's super cool and her abilities are as well. I guess this show will have a subplot of her growing as a person, learning to cope with being a hated clan and stuff like that. We didn't get to see scarf boy though :c I hope this anime does well because it looks super interesting so far. I hope they won't ruin it by turning it into a high school lovey dovey anime. It has a lot of potential right now so it better not be wasted! |

I'm 100% sure that you didn't mean that would happen. You probably thinking of the tsundere crap. ]If the audience doesn't care about the fucking main character of a show, that show is pretty shitty To you sure, but to the rest of the people no. I watched tons of show where I didn't give 2 shits about the MC but still enjoyed them and thought they were good. We are not supposed to care for every MC, it depends. Besides it's only 1 episode you can't really form any sort of connection or engagement with the show and it's characters. And we were shown that, right off the bat, we as the audience are not supposed to care about the main character. We're supposed to laugh at his misfortunes. Why are we not supposed to care? What misfortunes? you mean the stabs that he casually mentioned, that was never shown. I would get your point, if the MC was shown to be stabbed and the scene was played as comedy over and over again. He didn't joke about it. It was the tone of the scene and how his line delivery was portrayed that made it seem like it was a comedy line. In fact, he was doing the opposite of joking about it: he was complaining. Pointing out the obvious fact that getting stabbed fucking hurts. But they decided to make him all chibi faced, and give him a whining tone, consequently making it seem like he was complaining about something not important. Like he was being bratty. Like it's not a legitimate complaint. No, it felt that way because he is not serious about it and started treating her attacks as something routinely. If this thing was actually a serious problem for him and caused him any kind of stress he would try to avoid her, not make the attack convenient for her by waiting late in the school. He is merely underestmating her because she is ditzy and he is clearly interested in why she does this or her in general, that's why kept it up with her until the restaurant scene etc. Like getting fucking stabbed repeatedly for no reason isn't a big deal. Like it's just something that you should brush off your shoulder. He is treating it like this, so .-. If you're with your mother, and a random piano comes falling down and crushes her to death, that's not fucking funny, because you care about your mother. LOL, that is one shitty analogy. A/ there is a difference between someone dying and someone feeling pain. B/ You are comparing how much someone cares about his mother to how much he cares about a fictional character he watched for 24 mins? wut.

Is it really that hard to try and attempt to not take everything at face-value, and actually think about what you're watching? Jesus. Is it really hard to separate fiction from reality? and understand that some stuff can work well on fiction but will fail horribly in reality. Moses. Because it wasn't an "exchange". It was downright condescension. .... It didn't annoy him because he was written in such a way that his emotions don't matter, and we aren't supposed to care about them. omfg. What fucking emotions? the nigga got called a pervert in a lighthearted way BIG FUCKING DEAL. Holy shit are you sure you have friends in real life?

I would agree with you or just ignore you rant if this was the show where the MC gets beaten or ridiculed constantly not when it's this show where that never even remotely happened. |
| It was kinda fast-pace for me but it's really amazing, the animation. I really like the ending animation and the colors they used as well. I need to watch it again to understand more. I'm so slow. >.<!!! |

Exactly. The tone is fucked up.And do you honestly need to be told how painful it is to be stabbed through the heart? I mean, I've never been stabbed with a knife all the way through my body, but you can assume it would be quite fucking painful..

It'd be endearment if it went both ways, like I said in my first post.But it's not. And like I said, the fact that him being talked down to isn't something that bothers him/is inconsequential, is the problem I have. I'm not gonna re-read it but I don't care anyway Well, if you actually want to make sense, you should read and understand what I'm saying.Look at this thread, do you see anyone that is saying most of your points and I just skipped them to you? Actually, yes, there's a bunch of people saying what I'm saying. They're just not elaborating on it.Half the comments here are about how the characters are "boring". AKA, they don't care about them. AKA what I have a problem with and have been talking about, because the show is directly setting up the tone so that the MC isn't supposed to be cared about by the audience. |

| This was fun. It looks like an interesting show. Good first episode. Preferred the ED over the OP. Not sure why they kept flashing to the faces of other people in the last scene but presumably this will come out in the wash. |
| Great animation as expected. Love the chill ED. |
| Seems like a slow burner. I don't have time for slow burners anymore, so I'll have to drop it. |
 |
| Loving the art and style of this one. The whole first episode itself is very intriguing and these youmu are very mysterious. Mirai Kuriyama is so cute. Interested in how things will develop. |

| Rather slow episode. I like the animation, though those characters from KyoAni seem like the weakest so far. Not sure why since not a whole lot changed on the design part. If this pace keeps up it'll be a disappointment, but let's see how it goes. |

| not a bad start, the animation is the highlight so far |
 |
| pretty cool! gonna watch next episode for sure! |
| Like robots? Then watch getter robot :D |
| As expected, great animation. Nice OP and good ED (Would've still preferred No Line as the OP) Storywise, not bad either. Slow development kinda disappoints me though. |
| Way to end the damn episode :[. Ayaya voice oh god when I started watching this no wonder why her voice was so familiar I had to search her VA in the middle of the episode cuz it was makin me curious. First show I watch this season and I will probably like it I just can tell. That ED tho |
 |
| Oooh. It seems interesting. The pacing seems alright, the animation is very well done and the story is promising to me. Her ability does remind me of Deadman Wonderland. Can she also harden her blood like a defense too? Like in Bleach. And the MC reminds me a bit of Ayumu I guess. |
| Very good animation and directing. On the other hand, I dislike how the story was presented: it felt forced, had shitty gags and during some parts it really tried to hard to be witty. The protagonist's attitude is alright, but I can't really say the same thing about the heroine, who feels like another clumsy megane girl. Maybe I set my hopes a bit too high. |
| The first episode of one of my most anticipated anime for this season didn't disappoint me at all. I really enjoyed it! I like Akihito as a character already. His personality reminds me of Kyon's, haha. Mirai is a really clumsy girl but she has to deal with being a spirit hunter due to her cursed blood. Her power reminds me a lot of Deadman Wonderland. Still, that blood sword looks really cool! Mitsuki is a very mysterious character. I'm liking her a lot already. She totally looks like Mio though, which is not a bad thing. :3 That paper-zombie thing at the end, whoa! The animation was fantastic and the OP/ED were great. 5/5 |
