| idk, i was happy to see a horror anime this season, with the same director and producers of danganronpa I'm expecting a deep plot with lots of mystery and twists, hope not to be disappointed! I'm still not feeling the characters, main character included... |

| I loved it. So excited about this one!! The art, atmosphere, and music were all just great! |
| Deliveries go here pls <3 Candy Kingdom (∩^o^)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ |
| The girly guy is better then i expected.I thought that he was gonna be just useless decoration but it looks like his personality that lacks few screws might (just might since prob not) be interesting. The real question about these mysteries is how much bullshit is behind it and i hope that its tolerable amount. |
drgfl11 said: I thought it was really, really mediocre... It tried to be dark, but in the same time featured characters like that new teacher, MC who is a trap and his irritating friend. And the atmosphere wasn't really my cup of tea. I'll do my best trying not to drop it, wish me luck. hmm i dont see how it tried to be dark at all,everyone was pretty optimistic and background was colorful.It tried to be artistic rather then dark. |
TheNaturalPerm said: MEsoJD said: Also, why is mal so homophobic? I don't get it. Most of you on here are probably anti-social outcast. You'd think people on here would be more open. haha : 3 you might want to consider looking up homophobic in the dictionary. No need... This has been a common thing among users on mal for years. One doesn't have to be blunt for their paranoia to shine through over something trivial. |
 |
| Originally wasn't going to watch this but decided to check this out anyway. Not bad, the only complaint I have is the fact that the MC is a trap. God it's like Nagisa from Assassination Classroom all over again |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Those grey cut outs are kinda grating on the eyes. Still can't tell if this will be any good but the main character is really annoying. I'll give it another couple of episodes. Did the new teacher cut herself? |
| protag sold me on following this for at least a little. too bad it's stuck with a director i hate. hope it's a bit gay.  |
| Hm. The crime reminds me of MPD Psycho. Seems interesting so far, though the first part of the episode was a little slow I found. Hopefully it'll be interesting. |
| That moment when you are not sure if reverse trap or shounen ai.... Hmm, anyway, solid start, I am intirgued by the murder case and I like the characters so far, it has potential... also kinda liked OP/ED |
CookingPriest said: Also you do not need a monologue to be a POV, see the cop scenes I mentioned. But at that time, Kobayashi is not on screen. Right when Kobayashi is back on screen, even though it's like still from the cop point of view, the background characters already became silhouettes. The conclusion: directing error. |
| I like anime. |
| Alright first episode. MC real trap, still can't believe it's a boy. Liking the ED. Hopefully this one's going to be good. |
  |
| God Damn! What a start I honestly liked a lot this first episode! The OP and ED are also awesome, and its quite funny how they made the "unimportant" characters xD That teacher though. Kobayashi is freaking sick on the head and Akeshi look like a badass character and Hashiba has a freaking crush on Kobayashi, just saying xD Cant wait to see next episode |

| Why are people in this forum so ignorant? Its the first episode and people are already claiming stuff. How can you call the characters bland in the first episode? Especially when all the episode focus was to introduce characters and the narrative conflict. Yes Kobayashis reaction to the whole situation was weird but the viewer doesnt know him. How about you give the anime a chance to explain? If it doesnt then complain all you want. The teachers personality was over-the-top yes, but if you noticed her wrists you can conclude that she is more than meets the eye. Also, whats the problem with how Kobayashi looks? Needless nitpicking really. If you dont like the show just drop it and dont rate it. This is another example of anime underrating when people dont even take their time to watch the full show and make ignorant claims about the characters/story. |
| the OP and ED were cool and this seems very interesting and simcity?! |
 |
| Not a bad start. I hope it gets more intense though, as the only thing that fits within the horror genre so far are a few grotesque images. I guess we just have to wait and see how it goes. |
Yeoun said: ok dropped already fucking trap shit mc and here i was thinking pls dont be a boy Who the fuck cares if it's a boy lol? |
| Kobayashi is way too annoying, I hope I'll be able to endure him for 11 more episodes. Seems like a creepy work anyway. I hope it has some kind of substance. |

| If BBC's Sherlock series was a modern rendition inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, then this show would be the Japanese equivalent in anime form of Edogawa Ranpo's works from a past era--I suppose. I'm liking it. Seems like this will satisfy my mystery fix for the summer season. |

I know you disagree with them, that does not mean you have to be so mean. Just prove your point, state your arguments, & that's it. And one more thing, be patient. |
| I like anime. |
| OP/ED and music is good but everything else sucks... |
 |
| This...was no where near good. A few weeks like always to try and improve but this was a let down to say the least. If I had to put what was worst...the characters are just awful. I doubt this will get better. Really nothing positive about it. Dull from the start and the dialogue did not improve at all. But with a cast like this what more can you expect. |

Vindstot said: Kobayashi is the Nagisa of this season. Not only he's a trap, but their personality is very similar too +1 pretty much what i had in mind when i watched it... btw OP is amazing... anyone else like it ? |
 |
| My first impression was I hated it, I couldn't handle Kobayashi looking so much like a girl, I hate this art style, the new teacher is plain annoying, and I found that Kobayashi is VERY VERY psycho. However, it somehow hooked me. Since I am having my winter break at the moment, I think I would complete watching it perhaps I would find interesting. |
| My Anime List | |
| Nagisa 2.0 It's from the same studio who did Ansatsu, no wonder the style seems familiar. Well his personality is kinda put me off, but I'm hooked on the mystery already, the OP song is catchy, I can't wait to see the resolution |
"All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; only the dose permits something not to be poisonous"  PROJECT-ERASER |
| I feel deceived. KOBAYASHI IS BOY!! wut?! And there's a disgusting shonen-ai undertone going on. Well the premise seems promising but the characters doesnt seem likeable. |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| I'll stick with this cause the story seems interesting, even with the terrible characters, direction and scripting. "No matter how much medicine I take the pain doesn't go away" |

| Lol that detective plays SimsCity. I really do hope for this to get better, as it is now I don't really think it is that interesting. Also, those victims remind me of Psycho-Pass so much. OP and ED are great. |
| Very nice episode and. The opening and ed were awesomeness. |
 |
| Boring characters with a not really interesting story. I will wait for the next two episodes until I decide if I drop it or not... |
 |
| I liked this episode, the animation was nice, and I kinda liked the opening It reminds me of detective novels and things like that, and I am looking forward for the next episode :) |
