Everything is just so fast paced in this episode, I barely understood what was happening.. looks like there's some potential, but I kinda feel like they are trying too hard to stand out or something 'cause most of the time it feels way over the top.. Ryoutasu's watermelon sized breasts doesn't help either, it's just distracting and nonsensical..

I just hope this doesn't become a total trainwreck..

I don't know man... I really wanted to like the first episode, but it didn't hook me the way I was expecting. Too fast maybe?

The way they did the dialogue and the scene cuts was very messy I thought. It was like an ungraceful representation of what you see in the Monogatari Series.

I'ma give episode 2 a chance since that cliffhanger tho. Hopefully I'll be able to understand what's going. (And what's with Ryoutasu's nose tho? lol)

It seems like a game of "how many wacky characters can we introduce in one episode?". Almost like the awful Danganronpa adaptation (made me cringe less in the visual novel).


Now, now, no need to be jealous of a fictional character.


what's wrong with you people this is the second quote saying the same thing. Why would I be jealous of this unreasonable sac of fat!

Either way, it's fun teasing you.

I haven't been so disgusted with a first episode for an anime for years. Me and my boyfriend just couldn't get past the annoying girl dancing with the impossible boobs. I actually knew a girl that had those boobs, she had to be excused from physical education because of back problems.

Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes gave me a very high expectation about this anime but it turned out to be the worst kind of anime I could imagine

It was quite confusing, yeah, mainly because the characters were speaking too quickly and too much happened in 20 minutes, but it kind of made a solid ground for a good series. I mean, though I dont know much about those "introduced" characters, but each of them seems unique to me, also the fact, that this show balances between funny and serious. This could be interesting.

Huge Boobs, Fast Pace, Short Characters Introductions. I didn't like any of that.
But an interesting story so far and that cliffhanger. They'd better meet my "low expectations"

so it's all about teasing me? if that's the case I'm OK with it but I just want everybody to know that there's no way that I would be jealous of a bunch of physically illogical lines and colors.

WTF did I just watched... o_O

This tried to be a mystery yet all of the first episode felt like very bad and not funny farce. The tempo was brutal and the pacing was mess - whole episode was basically skipping from one unrelated scene to another boosted by constant horrendous shrieks of Yuki Kaji who is like the worst seiyuu I know.
This was like if someone took at least four hours worth of introductory dialogues from the visual novel and crammed everying into just 20 minutes - I bet, right now, most of the viewers have no idea what's actually going on and don't even have any reason to try to find on their own.
If this had any little atmosphere in, everything was just killed instantly by all those things.

Boobs in your face were all over the place (not that I don't like it most of the time when done right) but in this anime it's like they put those boobs in only to lure the people in because the story was absolute and uncomprehensible mess. It's almost like the boobs are the only defining character of this show as of now...

Character exposition was done pretty horribly too. In the end, I pretty much don't care about tons of those characters, not to mention I don't see any reason why would I need to.

Haven't seen such utterly bad first episode in the long time, even Rewrite was tons better when compared to this.

Got no problem with the fast pace, and no need to pause to read the subs. After reading some of the comments here I expected to be more fast paced that it actually was lol.
The ending song sounds nice, the opening not so.
Boobs is annoying, and so is Gamon.

I like the content, and the fast pace is actually something I am fond of.

It remind me a bit of Durarara but in all the bad ways. Like, it took everything I dislike about Durarara (cramming too many characters and storylines into a small amount of time; too much hopping around the story) and kept that. Time will tell if the story makes up for it.

I don't get the point of the boobs but I am not dropping it because of that.

The plot could be interesting, but the pace is so fast and some scene seem to be out of place to understand (without reading the novel). So much information in so little time. A two-cour season would be a better fit.

Nonetheless I keep watching

I'm a girl who likes girl (and boys and everything in between). I like tits. I love a nice pair of tits on my partners and girlfriends. I have big tits myself but when I see tits as humongourrrr as Ryouka's, I can't help but think it ONLY belongs in hentai. I don't understand why people suppress themselves with ecchi when there's straight-up hentai and porn. It's like all the budget went to her tits and they skimmed on the plot.

Japan and its stupid Anime fanwhores sure love their mentally-deficient girls with tits bigger than Godzilla.

Ultra-C cup? Naive, virgin shitface. That's a G or H Cup.

The dialogue is super cringeworthy, especially when the male MC talks fast and says a lot of shit that fails to be funny.

Still, it seems interesting and it's only 12 episodes long.

This was so...Shaft? Like I was reminded of the Monogatari several times, in direction and display you know. These fast cuts, vibrant colors, text inserts.
It's incredibly funky and stylish. Art and animation are top especially for the characters.


I agree on this. Cinematography was top notch! Art style was very pleasant and character design was fine.
Sadly because of the fast pace I had to pause everytime, not only to read the subs, but to fully enjoy the scenes too.

This anime doesn't let you take a breath. Which is not a good thing.

Well that sure was quite a different kind of start than what I expected from this anime. But well I can't say I don't like it either, it's a bit hectic but also very mysterious so I'm really looking forward to see what the rest of this series will have to offer to be honest.

I so hated it and the major reason is that the girl with the over-sized boobs was annoying as hell! It looks like she has put some pillows under there or is pregnant except for her womb is located in her breast. If that alone wasn't bad enough, that nose, argh! And the icing on the cake was her super annoying personality. Someone please kill her, let her be the victim or something.

Why is Yuuta so hyper 24/7? Why is he so annoying? What size is that breast? How legal is that piece of meat? Why are there so many abrupt cut scenes and jumping around? Why are there so many female characters? AND WHY THE FUCK DO THEY TALK SO FAST?

The murder scenario got me interested though, always liked murder mystery. I just wish the cast of characters are better developed instead of just each having their own quirks and being obnoxious about it.

Pretty much agree with all the comments here except this being Shaft-like... it's not Shaft-like at all, Shaft writes coherent screenplays and uses visual symbolism, this is simply cuts that are way too fast and a complete lack of organization in terms of delivering information lol. I barely remember the character names which are obnoxiously flashed on the screen right after they speak a couple of sentences. Whole episode was basically an exposition dump.

If this doesn't improve in a couple episodes it'll be a quick drop, was hoping it'd be at least a bit better than this x_x

Ok, I decided to give this another try since I feel like I dropped it unfairly after going crazy because of how fast paced the first half of the episode was. This has an interesting concept and I like the occult and supernatural and all of that stuff. The directing and OST are pretty good so far and I think I might enjoy this one, to my surprise.

First episode was bad. I think that's why the score here is low (only Chaos;Head being lower of those ;-anime).

Seemed like it wanted to be "cool" like Baccano/Durarara. (More like Durarara which I liked less.)
Lots of characters and crazy stuff happening.

But there were too "many people" (lol that's what the episode was named after all) ... and too much talking.

Maybe this will get better later. I read some reviews that mentioned it would be getting better later.

I did not like the other anime with similar naming convention (; in the name) that much and since this is based on a novel and in a different relation to the other stuff (I heard S;G is a game to the chars in the universe of this anime/novel) I might like it more later if it gets better.

The premise is interesting, but this episode has definitely taken me more than 24 minutes since I had to pause every now an then due to the crazy fast paced dialogue.
I think people getting mad about the the boobs and fanservice was unnecessary because obviously this anime doesn't even take itself seriously

They also introduced so many characters in the 1st episode; which can be overwhelming for some (yes its tough to remember all those names). I just they're all somewhat important; I love shows with many main characters such as Baccano.

Compared to Chaos;Head, or Robotics;Notes, this anime has a stronger and better prologue IMO.

The OP is really great, it's so goddamn beautiful. Reminiscence of Steins;Gate, but so far, only for the OP. The ED though, it's simply breathtaking, out of this world! The ED is pure orgams.

I have prepared for lightning-speed pace, but if talking like you're rapping isn't enough, they made it as if a whole world line sequence of Steins;Gate worth of info is jam-packed into this single ep. really, really quick character introductions and plot description before actually kicking the story off. Watching this ep intently is the best way to comprehend the ep. Damn. I'll just have to bear with it.

The art style is pretty unique yet some scenes look unpolished, the characters themselves are intriguing but wow, must the audience be slapped with an obnoxiously annoying character with obnoxiously huge milkers from the get-go? Granted, this is only the first ep, but I'll see whether the characters turn out to be likeable.

Welp, a murder cliffhanger!

And what's up with the huge tatas?
