| Yea I still have absolutely no idea what’s going on, but this show is so fresh and free spirited I love it. It reminds me a lot of FLCL from back in the toonami days where you’d just stay up to watch some crazy shit happen. |
 |
| I don't see what was the point of mixing past and present when what happened was probably just couple days apart and connection was as straightforward and obvious as possible. I'm afraid visuals and that kind of directing are just there to cover up lack of substance. It reminded me of Guilty Crown and that's not a good sign. Hopefully it won't be as disappointing. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Great second episode. The OP is a banger with killer visuals. The OST is also a banger and the animation is very good even the CG was good. |
  Read GT-giRl!!! |
| There's just something about this show that feels weird....can't put my finger on it but I definitely don't feel much watching it. |
| I'm digging this a lot. Has the potential to be great, provided we'll get more seasons in the future. And lol  deg said: bourrasque said: I knew it. This anime is definitely a failure. The story is difficult to understand due to the pointless transposition of the timeline. This director will never make a masterpiece anime. *drop* another one here that hates Nonlinear Narrative heh its fine i like this kind of none standard storytelling I like the non-linear storytelling through flashbacks. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The energy was decent, I'm quite intrigued about how they will fill the next episodes, the elements are aesthetically random but fit decently into the vision of the anime, and the goals of the characters makes sense in order to elaborate something, hope that it isnt as all over the place as some other anime that proposes this kind of settings. The back and forth narration wasnt as much as a problem for me, it worked to build up the motivation and outline the personality of Bisco while building forward the interactions with Milo and the environment, but maybe the interaction between the forces of Kurokawa and the watchers could have been done better, I suppose that they will elaborate it afterwards anyways |
| Well, I figured this was going to be stupid, I just didn't realise how stupid. |

| You can choose to watch absolutely no anime airing this season, but if you're not at least watching THIS, wtF are you doing |

| I don't understand why people get so confused with the timeline transitioning, seems like if we don't get a completely linear show we can't enjoy it. Just wait to see how things roll out and get explained, be patient. For me it's a 9/10. I absolutely love the vibe of this anime and can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| I wonder how Bisco got the arrow through that helicopter. The old man said that it was impossible. Is it either skill, or does it have a weak point? Hope it explains it later. I also wonder how those arrows create mushrooms. I'm loving this so far. I honestly don't think I can wait another week for the next episode. Also, how is this only a 7.5? |

| good episode. Milo treating Bisco then Bisco thanking Milo was cute. I can't wait for these duo's adventure. |

| Yeah, I'm not at all bothered by the non-linear storytelling, not least because in this case the continuity really isn't at all hard to follow. I also think these early stages of the narrative are perhaps more entertaining like this than if they were presented linearly and that this approach makes more sense in establishing all our different characters simultaneously. Beyond that, I'm definitely entertained by everything going on, but I hope we don't have to wait too long to understand Bisco's motivations, as at this point it's not really clear why we should be rooting for him at all. |
| Another great episode. If you want some really bad non linear storytelling go watch Peach Boy Riverside in release order. Anyway this might be AOTS. Not a lot of competition this season sadly |
| After seeing this episode, I kept thinking: That plane was actually a living organism??? That head of a slug is one thing but when Bisco actually shot it down, it was bleeding every where... It's so weirddd, but I like it. Pink haired girl is the reason for Jabi, Bisco's mentor, getting injured and now Milo has to patch him up. Loved the Pawoo action and I can't wait to see her duke it out with Bisco next episode. Also looking forward to the reveal to Bisco that Pawoo is Milo's sister. |
 |
| The only thing i have to say, I love how crazy this world is. Like what the fuck even the airplane was an animal lol About the way they are telling the story, i don't think it is that confusing. They will probably keep with this in this first arc is over and everything connects. And the OP 10/10. |
kriissyy12 said: DatRandomDude said: I mean, sure, they got all these people that makes you think its gonna be fucking amazing but it's also a studio who, in the past, only helped other studios before. this is their first anime series for Oz studio and it's doing a pretty solid job so far as a first anime. Also its the director's directorial debut. This is a big LN in Japan and the adaptation was very anticipated, OZ was obviously highly regarded if they were offered the project. So lets not act like they're some unknown studio. this is NOT a big LN in Japan, it's quite niche and the sales are nothing incredible. |

| Machine gun hippos = winner in my book |
| I liked the opening and the visuals I also like the animation style for the animals and other objects |
 |
| Lmao this series is so wacko. Fucking slug helicopters and hippos mounted with machine guns. |
| Pointless/poor nonlinear narrative was applied to the episode. If certain ratio of people find it just confusing and ridiculous, it's a misuse of the technique. |
VanishingKira said: The characters continue to be archetypal, but atleast the action continues to deliver and that OP absolutely kicks ass. Edit: Some people complaining about the non-linear narrative??? Nothing in this episode is remotely confusing. Christ can't imagine what you guys think of Lain or the original Boogiepop anime in comparison. the non-linear narrative here isn't confusing but it is unnecessary and awkward. the scene with the braids girl talking about how she failed to kill bisco kills any tension that the following scene of it actually happening would have had. it gives this anime an element of discontinuity that just comes off as clumsiness in an anime with such a straightforward plot. |
 |
| yeah this is definitely not a series that non-linear narrative should be used on. I guarantee you no one is watching this show because they want to think. that being said, the concept of a guy fighting by shooting mushrooms at people is so hilarious that I doubt I'll drop this unless it gets much worse. |
|
| preferred the first episode, but this one was nice too. finally some action and the mc making his official debut. always had a feeling he was the one at the gate. looking forward to next weeks ep! |
| Wtf is that flying snail thingy... |
| And just like the first episode, lots of crazy stuff happened, rabbit guys with machine guns, hippo’s with mounted cannons, giant crab, snail plain, so much weird but awesome stuff to love in this show lol. As for the plot, don’t entirely understand what’s happening but I got the basic gist of the current situation, and at the end of the episode we got to see Pawoo being badass and about to fight Bisco, definitely excited for that, and I loved the emotion when she found out about her brother. I’m also really liking the action sequences in this, the mix of realistic weapons and creative ones like the Escargot plane, and you can’t forget the bow and arrow that shoots mushrooms, that makes me really love it and makes it especially memorable. And nice OP visuals this episode and the ED is damn good too. |
| This anime is fire. An engaging episode through and through. |
| As expected, Bisco is a badass character. it was a action packed episode and animation was good too. I am loving this anime already!! |
 |
| wait people don't understand because of non linear storytelling? bruhh watch more Anime. lol Bisco throwing hippos wtf, man was strong AF ahh yes the showdown begun. |
 |

|
| OMG GODDAMN SAKUGA ANIMATION when enraged Bisco fired his arrow against that Escargot Fighter! much better sakuga than the likes of DS and aot! lolz! 5/5. |

| Quite interesting anime although the plot is not yet raised. The world seems to be that it will have many striking and eccentric elements, and with that it will already have me trapped here. The OST conveys a lot of emotion so I already imagine that the story will be full of many moments of action, so the anime will at least serve to entertain you. The bad thing is that the individual psychological aspect is still unexplored, only the panda doctor stands out for now. The aesthetics of the OP is very striking, it seems that I will spend some time to see who was in charge of producing it, because surely many like me, it reminded them of other animes. |
  |
| This actually has a proper story. lol. Jabi seems like he'll die. Bisco can do everything Jabi can, and the one thing Jabi can do that he can't—can be done by Milo. So, Bisco and Milo are supposed to replace him. But, I can't quite figure out Jabi's role, and dying without completing their role can make the death feel dissatisfying. So, I guess he's not going to die just yet? He may have a few things left to do before it. How many arrows does Bisco have? Who makes them? How are they made? How long does it take? I hope they answer it!!! Oh, no! I ship Bisco and Milo. At first, I was like "Oh, cute friendship." Then, in the underground scene, it seemed like the beginning of a crush . . . And I shipped it! lol. (It's already a better start for a ship than "Sasaki to Miyano".) The art is fun. Recently, there haven't been a lot of anime where I have enjoyed looking at the art. Bisco is teaming up with Milo, while fighting Milo's older sister. Seems like a nice seed for drama. I am excited to see what they'll do with this. (The preview of next episode makes it look like there won't be much drama, but I hope there is. Humans are made of drama!!) |
| This episode confirms what I was thinking about the pacing. I wasn't 100% sure due to the choice of doing the adaptation "baccano style" by mixing up the timeline a lot in the first few episodes (starting with next episode there should be almost no back and forth remaining I think I think), but now I 'm sure : We've only reached 65 pages of content after 2 episodes out of 350, so the anime adaptation is definitely going for a "12 episode for 1 volume adapted" choice. That's the same adaptation pace as Rokka no Yuusha, IE one of the slowest/most faithful pace ever done when adapting a novel in anime. kriissyy12 said: It was one of the biggest selling Bunkobon LN in 2019, and largely regarded as one of the better LN's out there. So yes, it's pretty popular and I'd expect the Anime to further increase its popularity. ...No ? It doesn't even make it to the yearly ranking, and it's not even close. You're being confused here imo. |
