| It seems they introduced each character to build attachment to the characters but it's already been stated several times that character deaths are more than likely going to be inevitable. Looking forward to the coming episodes. |
Happy Halloween  |
| Lion a qt. Pretty decent job introducing the characters. In the OP the cast was put into groups so we can expect something like a battle royale to occur. It was also pretty obvious who the main hero and heroine are. As for the ED, I wonder if it's going to be 3 different persons per episode (which gives us 36 characters so I'm most likely wrong, unless some are repeated). Also, VanishingKira said: Key visuals already basically spoiled who lives and who dies (as if it ain't fairly obvious): |
 |
| Wow Its going to take some time to get use to the large cast... well it might not even be worth it if they start dropping like flies. Aside: Hold up were they singing a variation of Solomon and Grundy? |
| Oh! I got "Another" vibes with this. I sense like we'll be having deaths every episode. Hope my heart can handle the "scare". |

| This anime is promising. I love the atmosphere and setting, it reminds me of the horror anime I love! Can't wait to see more. |
| Watched the subbed version, and I feel it was a terrific pilot. We already have insights to most of the characters but it will be very interesting to see how things take a turn in the future. Loved the intense back ground music which was used to perfection, good execution of the episode, felt smooth all the way through. Great OP, already in love with it. I agree its not the best of the visuals for the OP and ED but I like to think this as one of those shows which puts a lot of focus in the development of the plot than anything else, so its good that we have the OP and ED out already and out of the way. One to look forward all season. This could just be the break Diomedea needs to be identified as one of the top tier studios in the industry. |
| This felt very suspenseful-ish. can't wait for next episode~ |
| It has my interest now it needs to not mess it up. I also hope they get to their destination soon and the whole series isn't just them making their way there. Though the ending makes it seem like they'll be there next episode. |
 |
| Finally got subs. Hmmm... Need to watch more before deciding. Not a huge Mari Okada fan but this show has potential. It didn't feel very creepy but then again, nothing major happened. I like the characters and concept but worry about how it'll play out. |

And seriously these names are dumb. Like why Lovepon? Also had some funny moments. There was also hints that this might be something more psychological,which im all up for. And was anybody else happy when she threw up on the bus driver? He had it coming When this was first announced I thought the names were stupid too, but it seems those are their screen names online that they're planning to use as new identities. I find that actually really interesting because it can kind of tell us what types of people they are based on what they've chosen |
 |
| On the fence about this one, it's pretty interesting however. The talking is pretty fast, and they move through scenes like its 2x speed. Gotta keep your eyes glued to the screen for most of this episode or you'll miss a lot. As for the characters, there tons of them. Each have their own quirks but for the most part, they are all on the crazy side. Really hasn't been any level headed characters introduced yet, but I guess we will need to see more. Had a very eerie feel to it, it doesn't look like many of the characters are emotionally stable. And I thought one of them might start killing already. Will keep watching, so far it's entertaining |

| Very interested in this one just after 1 episode..alot of weird things happening. Went frame by frame for some of the scenes. For some reason this show gave off those "Another" vibes from the very beginning. The atmosphere got really tense and creepy at the end. 4/5 im a sucker for shows like these so i will keep watching. |
| Love the first episode, hooked me on already. A bus with group of people driving in to abandoned village at night. Perfect setting for a horror. And plenty of suspense. The creepy feeling is everywhere with the songs they sing and stuff they talk about. I can also feel plenty of drama from these people. So far so good! Though the massive amounts of character might hurt the show depending on if they plan on if the show wanting to develop all of them or use they as supporting cast for the MC's development. So far, I think it might be in between where they all get a bit of development but primarily to further the main character. We'll see how it plays out. Very promising, I'll tell my friends about this one for sure. |
 |
| Damn, so many characters introduced in the first several minutes. I'm pretty sure a lot of them will start dying soon (maybe next episode?) and I was actually expecting at least one or two deaths by the end of this episode. It looks like they're using online aliases rather than their real names, which I guess explains why their names are so weird. Well this show has my interest so far, so I hope the rest of it is decent. Also, those songs they were singing were creepy as hell........ |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Really liking this show's tone, kinda dislike the main character though he's too obnoxious. Pretty interesting start i hope they fleshed out these 30 characters well in 12 episode. |
 |
| @Shonase Thanks! --- Everyone's kinda cuckoo bonkers xD Hayato and Lion 'seem' kinda sane. I was like guys THIS IS A SCAM!! GTFO of there!! LOL ORE NO NAMAE WA JACCCCK!!! |

| That's a promising start. Lots of characters with nicknames. I could feel that it is rushed. Looking forward to see the next few episodes. |
| I don't like this first episode at all. I get that it's just starting and everyone is strangers but they're literally just talking just to talk. There isn't any emotions and actors are just reading their lines and everything is happening all at once. How do they expect us to remember all these characters??? Their intros were garbage. Not memorable at all I was really excited for this show too... |
end my suffering |
| Dang that huge cast. The online names were funny though. Hmm idk so far, I think the premise is interesting, but the pacing/tone changes felt really off to me in this episode. It goes from suspenseful music to hippopotamus song, and overall, just a lot of dialogue and not much breathing space. But it could be intentional, to throw us (or just me) off, starting off in such a way. I feel like there's also some psychological aspect going on, with Mitsumune's odd...(day) dream? Hallucination? That was the creepiest part. I do like the use of the bgm though, it builds on the atmosphere and tension. The character designs are cute too (although this anime clearly isn't going to be cute). We'll see how it goes. I'm still interested as I was when it was first announced. Feels like a psychological thriller, not sure yet. |
| That was certainly.... Something. |
 |
| Lol. Lion's seiyuu is airi's voice from oni chichi gg |
| Not bad introducing the cast all at once but I can already tell that I won't remember most of their names though xD Really liking the little cliques that are starting to form and so far the only characters that rubbed me the wrong way are the bus driver and that one dude thats trying to be the leader I'm curious to find out more about this village though and judging by the time and foreshadowing, I can tell that shit will most likely get real in the next episode |
| Pretty good start to the series. Lot of introductions as well as some insight into a few characters. The bus driver literally went crazy after getting pissed off. This village seems like an interesting but ominous place shrouded with mystery, Lot of theories on it as well. I'm not sure if they'll be able to develop all these characters within a single cour. I suppose we might see a lot of sudden deaths. The OST along with that dark shroud across the bridge created a real tense atmosphere at the end. Hope this turns out well :D |
 |
| It really is a brain game, starting with remembering all the passenger's name just by watching it once. can you? |

| So many characters OMG. |
| More than one biblical reference. We'll probably see more of that. Interesting plot so far, but the characters all seem pretty flat. Hopefully they'll get explored. |
| Signature removed for being too cool. That signature was too cool. Please make something less cool to use, following stuff defined in the Site & Forum Guidlines. |
| I can already feel it, some crazy shit is gonna happen. I will say this show managed to put on very eerie vibe well! Hyped to see where this goes |

| I expected people dying left and right already... so far I guess our mains are Mitsumune, Speedstar, Masaki, Lion and that Valkana dude. |

| Lion best character <3 But yeah I can feel like I can already tell where this anime is going. Some things that are bothering me : the awkward pacing. suspensful and then not and then it is. Like...it just doesnt feel right. And the music. The music is different but it doesnt seem to fit the atmosphere that much I can get over that though. Hopefully this anime wont disappoint me! I came in with no expectations so we'll see how it goes :D |

| I think it's a waste to go for specific mcs in this type of show.From that you can guess ( in most cases ) who survives the most. Way too many characters , easy to forget. The VA was average too and op awfull. Guess i will wait till the elimnation process and see if they have the guts to kill the mc . |
 |
| HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great atmosphere. Interesting characters. Although I have a feeling that it wont be that great. Promising first episode. |
| Maybe it wont be them killing the mc but the mc killing them LOL |
|
| I got a very good first impression of jack, my early favorite. Great first episode. |
Slowpoke_ said: Maybe it wont be them killing the mc but the mc killing them LOL By "them" i meant the story creators. For what i see he will ( proably ) be the " all friendly 10 episodes until he sees that you need to live for yourself " type of mc |
|
| Well that was something. The show's got my interest so far, and I just hope it doesn't screw it up. The cast though, damn. Feels like Survivor/Total Drama more than anything else. |
| Wow, I really liked it! Excellent build-up in just one episode! Creepy nursery songs and creepy meh characters :) When the bus took the turn on the bridge, I cringed, lol. Please, stay good. Twelve episodes seem a bit insufficient for the potential development, but let's give it some hype - it was properly earned. |
Burger-Meister said: Well that was something. The show's got my interest so far, and I just hope it doesn't screw it up. The cast though, damn. Feels like Survivor/Total Drama more than anything else. Same. I couldn't help but remember back to TDI with all those introductions. Really interested in how this will go. By the OP, it seems like there were will be multiple groups, but will they be fighting each other or some unknown entity. We'll see I guess. |
| This show shows some promise. It's got my attention but that song was just creepy... The opening song is alright and the ending song is meh. I hope this anime works out well. |
| Pretty average, tons of character introductions, didn't get any feeling of tension or horror so far. Lion and the Speedstar kid are my favorites so far. Dislike the MC and that vomiting girl. Hope they focus on other characters well and ramp up the tension as this goes on :/ |
