This is not as dark as I was expecting from Elfen Lied's author..
And I wasn't expecting a witch at all.
And I hope it won't end up into harem....

IMHO the opening shows too much stuff, especially for those who have never read the manga.

I really liked this episode and I am hyped to watch the rest of this anime.
great animation, interesting story and a glorious OP !
will definitely keep watching.

For everyone talking about how it was expected to be darker since it is from the author of Elfen Lied, I just want to remind you of how Lucy in no less than 70% of Elfen Lied was actually someone called Nyaa who can only say 'Nyaa' while running around naked .. please tell me again how dark these parts of Elfen Lied were xD

Gokukoku no Brynhildr has showed us some dark moments with the childhood memories and all and maybe the darkness will spread even more in the next episodes .. let's wait and see !

So this is going to go anime original cause

Wonder why they skipped the opening scene of the manga too.


Well she does appear in the manga

However the translated chapters haven't caught up with the raws yet (which are around 95 or so) which might be why she hasn't appeared yet (assuming you read just the translated chapters).

Also wondering why they skipped that part too...


Volume 7*?
And now that I know that there are around 95 cap I got depressed :(


It irritates me to no end how there are 95 chapters out but only 55 translated.

Regardless, I HAVE to watch it now. I was going to skip this series because I read the manga but no way they're gonna cover that much without screwing up the pacing or having an original plot.

I agree. I feel like it'll raise too much suspicion so when the reveal comes it won't have as much impact. But welp not much we can do about it. Hopefully people just brush it aside or forget about it. :D

They're actually sticking pretty close to the manga which I find kind of surprising considering there's talk of it being a one cour and the manga is ongoing. I actually am of the opinion that Elfen Lied has one of the best anime original endings so maybe they try to do something similar for this one as well? We'll see. The ED was pretty generic but the OP was rather good in my opinion.

its an allrightshow wat interested me the most tho was the openning which showed the metal marix like thing on the neck it cld be a bomb or something similar to that or something that kills the user ending in battle royale for survival maybe ive jst been watching to many films lately anyone else agree the neck pieces will be the main drive in the show the show going by the intro looks more like it cld be future diarys than elfen lied?

Kuroha = Kuroneko? There are no moles though, really interested to see how they will connect the two.
The armpit confrontation in front of the class got me.
A girl that is self proclaimed to be a witch because she can break a boulder and see the future.
This is quite interesting, the childhood part and how many life and death situations will come in this anime.


I'm guessing all the girls died and were turning zombie cyborgs or something. Or maybe even something along the lines of Grim Reapers, but they try to save them instead?

Anyways, I enjoyed it. :3

Best girl, aka Kazumi, has yet to arrive. The show gets better after her introduction. Or at least, it should if it follows the manga properly.

Shaping up to be a promising show. I bet the two neko's are the same, with the moles being some kind of seal to her powers or something which is why the present one doesn't have them.

The episode as a whole was kind of disappointing - the pacing felt weird, none of the supposed deaths really had any impact at all. I guess it felt too rushed? The plot sounds interesting though.

That said, I can't even begin to describe how hyped I was when the OP song turned out to be that glorious song from the PV. I'm already addicted to it. :D

Whelp, that OP just erased any hopes I had for this(song is awesome though) I could see rushing it to end after Nanami arc, but using plot beyond that just won't end well.

Man, Kuroha animated is somehow more bland than she is in the manga.

I read the first two chapters of the manga and this episode followed them very well. I'm so excited for this show, since I loved Elfen Lied. That op song was fucking glorious! And Kuroha is adorable, Risa Taneda's voice is so soothing. Can't wait for the next episode, it's hard not to have expectations for this show.

Not really sure what to think about this first episode. Goes from weird blush to fanservice (leave to Arms to focus on those body shots) to serious.

But seriously that OP was god awful. What were they thinking?

the story begins already pretty intense
I liked the relationship between the characters
and it seems that the anime go save on blood or deaths
including blood in own opening, which I quite liked
has much potential ..
________

a historia ja começa bem intensa
gostei do relacionamento entre os personagens
e não parece que o anime vá economizar em sangue ou mortes
inclusive o sangue na propria abertura, que eu gostei bastante
tem muito potencial ..

Dat dubstep in the OP.

A good introduction. We learned MC-kun is a wimp and has an armpit fetish, Neko is a witch, squishy, is moe and has beach body. Oh yeah, researchers are evil (when aren't they?) and the world is going to end.

That is really mysterious :P
A strange mix of mystery, sci-fi and comedy. Wonder how it will work out.

The OP really gave the tone. It was well done and really dark.

It's from the same autor of Elfen Lied and I fucking loved EL. I expect blood and blood and blood xD

That pool scene was fucking stressing damnit.

That guy is really straight forward... ''SHOW ME YOUR ARMPIT!!'', I've heard better pick-up line :P

I can't believe that this girl isn't the same girl from his childhood... TOO MUCH COINCIDENCE.

Aside from the OP catching my attention, this show was hilarious in a bad way.

"SHOW ME YOUR ARMPITS!" Ha... ha... yea... I'm laughing at how stupid it is. Also lol'd at kids on the side of the dam. I know some kids need special attention but how retarded do they need to be to know not to do something like that?

Knowing this was made by the same guy as Elfen Lied, I was actually expecting that girl during the pool scene to get killed like her leg getting ripped off and shit. Was quite the disappointment.

So far the most interesting show of the season. Strike the Blood's Yukina "No, Senpai, this is OUR fight" Himeragi's voice actress returns as the main female lead for this show too. Can't wait to see how the mystery with Kuroha Neko turns out.
