The whole trust value system concept is quite interesting.
This arc and character may probably be one of my favorites in this anime. I just wish there was a full anime based on this character. There's a lot you can do with this character and the trust system.
Coming into this as an anime-only viewer and after watching only the first trailer, is rough cos what is all this talk about a character called E-soul lol. Anyways excited for the rest.

LETS GOOOOOOO!!! He's no longer Nice he's Lin Ling. His title is the commoner? kinda almost insulting title ngl but it works.

Also so Moon has just been surviving on a random island this whole damn. That ending scene makes me think of that one JJK scene with Riko. They really decided to do the JJK Special.

This time it better not be a fakeout. I'm guessing though the first illusion he saw foreshadowing for this moment. Also this is the last ep for Nice/Lin Ling right? Next week we move on to another charcter? The next one on the schedule is E-soul right? ngl the one whole shot Moon at the end doesn't that look like E-soul kinda?

What the f*ck... Is Moon really dead now? And how is that related to Nice seeing her dead in the first episode? Was it some kind of foreshadowing? I'm enjoying the series so far, but I find it confusing.

حلقة رائعة، ستايل الرسم والسويتش الي يصير بين الستايلات رهيب جدا، الصدمة موت البطلة، أتوقع ان لينغ لينغ عنده قدرة التنبؤ بالمستبل، لهذا السبب شافها فالحلقة الاولى على الفراش ميته، وهذا الي حصل بالضبط في الحلقة هذي.

Is it really E-Soul at the end of the episode? I don't think this time it was some dream/premonition/whatever that happened before. But what if it wasn't in fact Moon again, as has happened before? But if we assume that it was indeed Moon this time, who's to say that whoever did it wasn't a villain with powers of illusion, posing as E-Soul and fooling the heroes and us (this episode's villain used a robot to impersonate Moon, let's not forget)? In fact, what if it was actually E-Soul but he's being controlled/possessed by something? Or is E-Soul under the effect of an illusion? We can't blindly trust the cliffhangers we see in this show, remember episode 01 (we're dealing with the director of Link Click too, after all).

The show potentially wants us to be angry and/or think it was E-Soul. It's not hard to deduce that. But it could be some kind of misdirection (even if it is E-Soul in the end), we don't know what actually happened and/or what followed from that yet. Another possibility is that it could be something to do with the tournament, and that E-Soul actually did it since, as I understand it, the heroes can fight each other since they're aiming for the title of X (just remember the hero who attacked Lin Ling in episode 2 when he was exploring the hideout of the “villain” from episode 2). What's more, they're on a deserted island with no one apparently watching them, so they can theoretically commit certain atrocities without losing people's trust if no one finds out.
I saw a comment that made a certain amount of sense. Moon was shot in the side of the head, but E-Soul is behind her. So is there anyone else there?

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT

Also, anyone have any idea what number of animation styles we're remotely on now? I think it's probably like 7 or 8 now with some of those crazy good ones now.
@Eragonnogare can you say which are those like what episode or parts, I mostly just watch and people like you say these, I feel like I'm dumb and idk which are those different styles for me was just 3D and 2D in anime and comic type and with his nice's friend friend was kinda anime style but stil was close to a comic so I justn counted 3, I didn't count to 8

Such a WTF ep

This ep was a rollercoaster of emotions, from happiness to sadness quickly (1 to 10 and back to 1) , literally teared up a bit.

The fight animation between Lin Ling and God eye was fking amazing and the way he lost trust and regained it was simply so beautiful to see. That's what it means to be a hero, when all odds are stacked against you, you must find a way to prevail.

Just when I thought it would be a great reunion with the two, what looks to be "possibly"

kills Moon and she dies the same way she died in ep 1.

Straight peak even if we are done with this arc of Lin Ling / Nice,

JUST WOW

@nexustom there's the 3d style, the main 2d comic book style, the black and white style from the boss's backstory/explanation in episode 1, the more standard anime type of 2D style, the very sketchy unique new style when Lin Ling was dragging his fist along the edge this episode, the other flashy detailed style as Lin Ling did his big punch this episode, the super simple cute artstyle for Moon's backstory in episode 2, arguably the different type of 2 style used in the flashback sequences in episode 3.... Those are the ones I could remember or find fairly quickly. Even if you don't count one or two of them, that's at least like 6 or 7, but plausibly like 8, and I may have missed one.

This episode was PEAK it's so insane
I had been doubting if this series would actually be good because of the pacing so far, but I'm still super interested by the world concept, and things yet to be revealed. I suppose it is normal for this type of show to be fast paced, and I did really like what we got in the ending of this arc with lin ling. Several people had been telling him to "just be himself" and then he finally did, (unlike nice i'm presuming, who maybe lost his sense of self at some point)
I was expecting earlier that moon would die (LH0 PLEASE WHY) it was shown in e1 after all... But what I was totally not expecting is that it's another hero who kills her??? That was e-soul wasn't it

Also according to an interview with LH0, we will get more about the original nice later... will wreck show up again too?

I'm also really wondering how connected the plot will be. It ended off with e-soul killing moon, and e-soul's episodes are next up, so what will e5 be? Backstory? Will it continue after that last scene?

That's just another vision or whatever the f*ck that is right? Like ffs man? Come on.

What is this production value. Seriously it's nuts. This single handedly changed my perception on animation. I expected Ling Ling to come to this realisation and become a hero as he is but not this fast. The ending scene suggests a big scale tournament so guessing this was a prologue for his character. Also props to Hanae Natsuki, he really has become the perfect seiyuu for this kind of situations. Delivering raw emotions which reached the viewers both in anime and irl.

Bringing back Lin Ling was pretty cool, I kinda wanted more from the og him. Still got some spoopy visions with Moon though.

Never ending plan to watch list...
