| Wow, semi-animated with some altered real people. Even has 2D characters (like Paper Mario). Really weird. I'll still stick around for Miyu-Miyu's character, one of the patients in ep.6, to come out, and for Paku Romi's voice. Actually, I cannot wait for almost every eps. 第1話 『空中ブランコ』 山下公平役 ／ 森川智之 第2話 『勃ちっ放し』 田口哲也役 ／ 櫻井孝宏 第3話 『恋愛小説家』 星山純一役 ／ 三木眞一郎 第4話 『ホットコーナー』 坂東真一役 ／ 浪川大輔 第5話 『義父のアレ』 池山達郎役 ／ 平田広明 第6話 『フレンズ』 津田雄太役 ／ 入野自由 第7話 『ハリネズミ』 猪野誠司役 ／ 高橋広樹 第8話 『いてもたっても』 岩村義雄役 ／ 岩田光央 第9話 『天才子役』 安川ヒロミ役 ／ 羽多野渉 第10話 『オーナー』 田辺満男役 ／ 置鮎龍太郎 Edit: Final ep. 津田雄太の父親・津田英雄 ／ 古谷 徹 (Miyu-Miyu's character's father?, yay) |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Not gonna lie, that shit was trippy. |
| I watched the raw, so I couldn't understand most of the dialogue, but definitely very trippy visually, the animation to live action transitions were odd, but I think they pulled it off pretty well. Looking forward to more, and subs. |
| wow, that was great. some bizarre and random anime here. I liked the way they showed phobias and psychical disorders. and a combination of IRL video and animation wasn't that bad. I thought that fanservice chick will ruin all the mood, but it seems that they made her play an almost speechless character - good choice! xD but this show will be a pain in the ass for fansubbers. just check out the title for a next week, what about censorship, people... -_-" |
 |
| No subs for this anywhere? :( |
| GG are supposed to be subbing this but they seem a bit swamped with this season's lineup (considering they're subbing, like, half the shows airing that aren't on crunchyroll). Hopefully subs will be out soon. I've been waiting for this since the first Fall season chart was released. |
 |
| http://www.animetake.com/trapeze-episode-1/ but i gotta wait for lower resolution version |
 |
| Lol, well this Is as original as you can get. |
     |
| Like others have said, this was a bit... different. I'll watch another couple of episodes before I make any other judgements. 4/5 |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| Haha, only six minutes in and i'm liking it. Some crazy shit right here. The blending of real stuff and drawings is awesome. p.s. gg subs are out. |

| This was the show I was most interested in from this Fall Season. And it didn't disappoint one bit! As expected by the staff that made Mononoke, really trippy and really entertaining. Simply brilliant! ^^ |

Kayro said: This was the show I was most interested in from this Fall Season. Definitely, with Kimi ni Todoke too. And since KnT didn't dissapoint at all, I hope this one will be at least as good. I usually love Noitamina shows, and if you add to that Kenji Nakamura, Toei Animation, a weird synopsis and an almost unlimited potential, I'm really looking forward to it. Only 20 minutes remaining until I can get my eyes on the gg version... |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
Kayro said: I never heard of this monoke? I wasn't aware the staff of mononoke also made a show called monoke. As expected by the staff that made Monoke Also, this was great~<3 |
| Loved this. |
| That was a interesting introduction to say the least. I didn't love it but I am intrigued to see how this goes. |
 |
| That was awesome. It was even funnier since I'm taking Abnormal Psychology right now, and my professor just went over generalized anxiety disorder. 4/5. |
|
| Wow, this was too weird even for me o_o I'll keep watching it. |
 |
Jacut said: Definitely, with Kimi ni Todoke too. True. Now of only Aoi Bungaku got subs, I would have started all my most expected shows ;_; Indirect_Purple said: I never heard of this monoke? I wasn't aware the staff of mononoke also made a show called monoke. Really? Then you should crucify your privates for not knowing that. |
| Great, Mind Game the series and even weirder. |
 |
| Hmmmmmm. It was even weirder than I thought, but the only thing that I know is that this show is incredibly original graphically speaking and its experimental design is a success in this first ep. Now, if you ask me about the script and characters... I need to watch at least 2 or 3 more episodes before making a definitive opinion I guess ;) |
In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Hm... I felt this was going over the edge of weird... it seemed a bit too big for its shoes, if that makes sense. I didn't get to the end of the episode as it failed to keep my attention for long. I guess I'm dropping this. |
| I was a bit sceptical after the strange trailer but I really really enjoyed the first episode. So refreshingly crazy. @ myexodus They found out that it was Kohei's own fault that Ali could never catch him. |
| hell yes, that WAS trippy <3 this and Aoi Bungaku will make this fall awesome :3 |
| This was much weirder than I expected it to be. And what's up with this psychiatrist changing the appearance all the time? >.> |

LaAmaya said: This was much weirder than I expected it to be. And what's up with this psychiatrist changing the appearance all the time? >.> My theory is that each one represents the Id, Ego, and Superego, respectively. The form in the bear/mouse suit is probably the Id, since he's the one that presumably has the injection fetish and wanted coffee (since Id represents primitive desires like sex, food, water, etc.). The shota one is Superego since he appears often when talking with the patient and seems serious (critical and moralizing), and the one in the glasses with long hair is Ego, since it acts the most "normal" of the three and acts pretty neutral (ego acts as a mediator between Id and Superego). Though this is a bit stretching it. But considering how much this series focuses on psychology, it seems logical. |

| One thing came to mind while watching this : Yoku wakannai kedo, sugoi! |
 |
| Ah!!! noitaminA's sweet as usual!!! Looks like Fukuicchi's becoming my fave character LOL! I'm glad the shows I've been waiting for like this or Kimi ni Todoke started this good! I just hope this one will keep up the level. PS. It was a bit fun to hear a couple of non-japanese phrases in their pure native-speaking form. |
| I thought it was great. The art was really enjoyable to watch and I found it to be pretty funny. |
| Wow, what a weird/interesting animation style. Anime, paper-figures, and pseudo-3D! Definitely keep an eye on this for now. Although, a diagnosis of GAD seems unlikely at this point.

Great analysis, I hadn't even considered that! Just thought it was something else trippy in the series. :P |

| Well? Genius Insane or just plain insane? loved the mixed media. 空中ブランコ- kuuchuu branko - Air Bronko! I could not believe that was the actual japanese word for "Trapeeze artist", so I looked it up on my electric dictionary. yep, it is. Crazy language! |
 |
| It was SO AWESOME. I've never been so pumped to watch an anime, it's hard to find one that really appeals to me and drags me in. I was captured with Mononoke, it seems they've done it again. c: It's so fun and colorful! I love it!! |
| I suddenly want to watch anime again. I think I'll just rewatch this. |
| weird animation style that a lot of people like, but i didnt like it that much, definitely wont follow as it airs, but will probably watch it once it finishes... maybe |
 |
| Honestly, to me, it came across as trying a bit to hard to be different. That is just my opinion though. Will probably watch the next episode. |
 |
| Fantastic. The mix of animation, CG, and live action was very well executed. |
 |
| Absolutely marvelous. I was not expecting Mind Game. Best show of the season. |
| So damn trippy, I'm loving it. Love the ED a hell of a lot. Best ED this season along with Sora no Otoshimono's panty ED. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Such an excellent episode. It was even better than I expected. Already one of my favorite shows of the season :D |
 |
Kayro said: exactly. This was the show I was most interested in from this Fall Season. And it didn't disappoint one bit! As expected by the staff that made Mononoke, really trippy and really entertaining. Simply brilliant! ^^ This did not disappoint. I love unique anime like this! |

| Adding my random "as expected, weird show in a good way" comment. |
| Mononoke was instantly grabbing and it only got better as it progressed. Kuchu fell short of my expectations as of yet. The visual mesh is eclectic, but it's the Japo weirdness and gayness that is repulsive. I'll wait 3-4 eps to air before going on. |
| In Riemann, Hilbert or in Banach space Let superscripts and subscripts go their ways Our asymptotes no longer out of phase, We shall encounter, counting, face to face. |
| Very nice, as expected of my most anticipated autumn show. It even has the potential to become one of the best shows of the year. I also liked the Russian guy's lines, it sounds pretty natural and actually makes sense. |
| 要らない。もうあれは要らない。 血の赤も、骨の白も、焼け爛れる肉の黒も腹から噴き出る臓腑の灰も。 銃剣の煌き弾丸のメタル。軋む戦車の振動に塹壕の饐えた匂い。 |
| That was freaking awesome. All I need to say really. |
| Mmmh, I don't know. Seems more like a style exercise devoid of any substance as of now. I'll watch it just for the case of the week analysis XD . Chibi Ichiro with Park's voice is amazing though. |
