| Interesting start. Never seen anything like it before. I kind of hope they will tell more about why they put twelve people up there to kill each other. Yeah sure the whole "wish" thing from the Fate series, but is there more I ask myself. |

| Yes! Japan animates a story from my culture! Damn that was brutal, Really liked the new bloody twist to the original race and the designs are cool, especially the rabbit, I only hope it doesn't follow the original story completely but judging by the possible first death of the boar, they might, I will continue to watch this one! |

| Wasn't expecting Boar to die so quickly, but I'm really excited to see what happens in the next episode. Really liking Rabbit so far, especially since Nobuhiko Okamoto is voicing him. |
| very impressive first episode. i hope they keep it very violent and disturbing |
| All that effort to turn her imouto into a crazed killer who kills herself, and she goes and becomes the first one to die. Well, technically second i guess, but that first guy was part of a duo. That's what happens when you get too over-confident. |
| I think this will be a fun series to keep up with, but I'm not getting "good" "very good" or "great" vibes from this series so far. It was nice to have a backstory presented, but I never found myself getting attatched to Boar. The character designs are fun and the action scenes are very well animated and choreographed. Story wise, I'm still waiting for it to surpise me. |
genk1sudo said: Kenel said: A bit predictible but quite entertaining. Let's see who wins this Battle Royale. oh.. what exactly you've managed to predict? just curious For example, after showing that scene where Boar explains how she is going to kill the bunny (i don't know their names xd), it was obvious that her plan wasn't going to happen like that and it was clear that something bad was going to happen to the Boar (although I wanted to believe that she wasn't going to die in the first chapter). Or the story of the Boar's sister, that you can predict from the begining that her sister is going to die, to be closed in someplace or something like that. I mean, there's nothing new in its plot, but it was amusing enough to leave me wanting more. |
| Bunny is pretty hot, so I'll keep watching. |
 |
| This anime is going to be fun. Nothing too epic or unique, but fun. I'm glad the most annoying character is already dead. |
| That was a bit cool! feels like hunger games lolz! the brutality is nice! I think all of them are supreme warriors and only few gaps in overall strength/power... never read the novel but looks nice. Is Boar really a fodder!? 4/5. |

| Snake already dead? wtf! 1/10 anime!!! bring back snake! |
"If it made you happy, then everything’s okay." - Haruka Kasugano  |
| "I am a badass who forced my sister to kill herself, no one can defeat me" -dies at the end of the episode- Huh, was not expectng that... |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| Boar was such a bitch, but she was kind of growing on me. Killing her off at the end after spending most of the episode on her backstory was very unexpected. So far, I like this anime. |
| I liked how they focused this episode on the boar then at the end she appears to die. I'm hoping we get a character or so focused every episode. I think this was a good start, lets see were it goes. |
| Promising, if bit predictable...Hopefully it will turn out to be a proper Battle Royale. |
| Despite the awful looking trailer and the ridiculousness of the character designs, a friend and I decided to give it a shot anyways. The first episode does little to explain anything and instead gets right to the point of just killing everybody. Instead of a real explanation or an introduction to what's going on, we instead get the random backstory of the first lady to get killed. Because obviously this is needed in the first episode... Dropped on the spot. |

| based off a light novel inb4 massively unsatisfying season finale that teases a season two that never comes |
| I kinda saw that coming, the title of the episode give it all away |
 |
| i liked it, this anime wil make a lot of twists i just know it |
 |
| This show had an amazing start. I wasn't expecting someone to die right away, but we got a lot of deaths here. Boars backstory had death flags and she was talking too much, but I didn't expect her to get stabbed in the end. I did, but at the same time I didn't. I wonder if someone was smart enough to not swallow the poison and only pretend to. |
°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° |
| Will be looking forward to the fights and animation if nothing else. I'm also really interested in everyone's backstory. |
| Why is Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul) dressed like a bunny rabbit? Anyways... they give backstory on a character to make you think they are the main, then kill them off. Had it coming but... whatever. At least the action/violence is decent. |
  |
| I'm not too fond of the character design, but it's alright. How Inou dealt with her sister was pretty savage. I'm surprised, that she got killed already. If she is dead, that is. Overall a good start. I'm curious about the apathetic guy. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| I love how the snake guy died before the tournament even started Also why did Kaneki Ken become a weird bunny stripper? |

| I think that this anime has great potential, but sadly it also still has the chance of being a major let down Boar's younger sister was chosen for the game at first, but she became jealous and kinda manipulated her sister into becoming a murder machine who ended up killing all their maids/servants along with many others. However, she becomes overconfident and cocky in the killing game, which ends up getting her eliminated. |

| Why they had to make rabbit look like a stripper from gay club? :( But after all great episode, it was better than I expected, if this goes on we can get one of the best anime of this season |
| That was quite okay... but the character designs are really questionable lol... like the fuck is wrong with the rabbit. Anyway, I'm curious that they adapted a 1 volume LN into a seasonal anime. So I guess the pacing is like 1 death per episode? Since there's 12 of them? |
 |
| Boar just had to push her cute sister to madness real shame :( Betting on my own zodiac rat |
 |
| So we have another Kaneki. I really thought the girl was going to be the protagonist. Although what she has done, I found interesting and beautiful, it is a pity that the protagonist is a child psychopath. |
 |
| Great first episode! I love the Boar's character. Finally! it's been awhile since new game/battle royale themed series have been created. Definitely my all time favorite genre. |

| I dunno why people are assuming she's dead already, she just got stabbed, she's the protagonist (looks like it, felt like it) and her internal monologue definitely implies something, like that girl she knows and hate would probably save her I like boar a lot |
BlueEclispe said: Akiimitsu said: So we have another Kaneki. I really thought the girl was going to be the protagonist. Although what she has done, I found interesting and beautiful, it is a pity that the protagonist is a child psychopath. More like if juuzo became a ghoul and accepted it ( which he probably wouldn't and kill himself or let himself get killed but the points there.) It makes sense, I will take into consideration: 3. |

| I'm surprised people surprised on the ending. Maybe because it's NisiO? I feel it gave enough feeling for what gonna happen to the boar. One thing is NisiO's straightforwardness in writing (point to Katanagatari), another is Zodiac ranking. But eh, the tears from getting trick by NisiO's narrative is delicious. I was an enjoying episode. Love the directing and the fight scenes are cool. I'm positive regarding the ending. Are we going to get each Zodiac backstory in every episode? Looking forward to future episodes. |
| I was not expecting the Boar to die so soon! After all she handled and all she did to her sister to be able to be in the battle, it was kinda sad... |
 |
| This was the definition of edgyness. I was just confused watching those sisters killing some mercenaries, who were working for sisters` father. It sounds really stupid, doesn`t it? Why would anyone accept such a work? It was thrown to show us "OMG this is a bad family, they have no mercy". Such an easy and ridiculous way. Plot twist was quite good, but necromantist? This sounds really stupid. Big Order vibes(not a good indicator). Over the top and crazy. It was pretty obvious that Boar is going to die/lose. Who the hell fights in high heels? She should have her legs broken when they fa... oh wait there is no logic in this anime. Just bloodshed. |
