| Wow! That was really unexpected.. that the enemies of the humanity are those TALENTED. Nanao's power reminded me of Mikan's Nullification Alice :) I hope he survives from that fall since he became my favorite character. |
| Just like expected some selfinserts are butthurt. Deal with it Nana is the MC. Fafette said: She's crazy. She's totally crazy. Actually, I saw the twist coming the moment Nana appeared (she gave me strong yandere vibes), but I didn't expect it to happen like that. But she looks like a quite interesting character for now. She seems to be similar to Satou from Happy Sugar Life, the tactical and calm yandere, instead of the usual hysterical one. I like that. I hope her yandere behaviouyr will receive a good explanation and not just be there for the sake of edge. I can't say I have big hopes for now, but I'm intrigued, especially given the presence of the psychological tag. She isn't yandere at all. She's just doing her job, stonecold. FailyGears said: If Nakajima is actually dead does he really count as a main character? It's called decoy protagonist. He isn't main character at all. morsh88 said: Btw I want to ask, how Nanao potential kill count is 1 Million+? The guy's power only neutralize other power, it's not killing power, how's the potential kill count calculated? As a leader of the Enemies of humanity. |

Nana explained that in future Nanao would become leader of this group/class, so his kill count shouldn't surprising. ;) |

| OH GOSH!!! I was so happy that they killed the main character. Seriously, it is an archetype used in 80% of the animes and many times it is the worst character, if they are going to be murdering one by episode count me in with this show. |
| I don't get it, was anyone actually surprised by that twist? They gave it away fairly easily with that wind scene and all. Anyways, let's see where this goes. |
 |
| Goddamn, that was actually pretty good. I was already spoiled before I watched it, so I can't really tell if it was predictable since I was already expecting it. But, I think the execution is pretty good. I wanna see where this goes, because this seems really interesting. |
 |
| Predictable, yes, but it was some good execution right there. It seems that we are going to watch two sides that will bring up interesting points of who REALLY is the enemy. As the protagonist is now dead, I expect that we get lots of psychological experiences with Nana. Really excited for the coming episodes. |
 |
| In the end he does have power, I thought he would be literally talentless. It would have been more interesting if he really had no powers at all. I'm guessing that Onodera guy is the other sus, looking at the ed I think Nana and Onodera seems to have some connection. How Nana switched from fluffy to a bitch XD Liked that ED (I guess it's actually the OP) Onodera looks so much like Gintoki XD Anyway, it was a nice start, makes me want to look forward to the next episode. |

| First twenty or so minutes were generic, predictable and really cheesy, last few minutes made up for it a bit. It was obvious she wasn't normal, pink hair, HELLO! However, she is more likable towards the end. Give me a psychotic cotton candy-haired Anime girl any day of the week over an overly saccharine airhead type. I love anime psychos, whether they are boys or girls. With that being said, it was a good episode, like in between okay and good. This is slightly better than IWGP, which I had much higher expectations for. I had almost zero expectations for Munou no Nana but it was better than what the poster suggested it would be. |
| 臭い- |
| Damn what the hell happened??? I Frickin' LOVED it. Is She(Nana) the Main Protagonist or the Guy(Nanao) ??? both have Nana in their names but who is the Talentless one?? |
 |
| It will be soon a very easy drop for me if my concerns being proven true... It's a misleading anime, especially if you pay attention to the details. It has a vibe of danganronpa plot, an imposter/intruder in some group, with a character that it's obviously there to find out that imposter and of course a main character that was oblivious of his potential. The problem with this anime... the main character is the bad guy and you know since the beginning (soo, no thriller here), she is not oblivious of her potentials (no self-revelations), she just a killer on a contract (complete misleading the initial vibe of the anime). The even worse part is that she thinks she's doing something good (and you probably will learn the motives and the ida ida ida of it), but if you see the details you notice that is not a case, especially with a guy that can only do is nullify the talents of the people that she thinks that are the bad guys... in a very, very worse scenario, he would be counter weaponized to fight the "talents", not killed and much less blame to be able to kill 1 million people with THAT power (an unknown power for the guys that made the contract btw). It's easily some kind of high-rank manipulation and I'm not willing to see that. I only need to confirm that this guy is really dead and it's an instant drop for me! |
| For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations. |

| What a start! It was clear that Nana was behind something, her questions were never random. And judging by the anime name of the anime, Nana is talentless yet she's not the enemy? So why would she try to kill him? And ofc, there is no way that he's dead. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
This is like My Hero Academia but in an isolated island. lol. Are they really there to train or are they brought there to kill each other? This is quite interesting. |

| Yup I knew something was off. Interesting premise, looking forward to this one |
| The title of this show definitely made sense at the end of this episode. Talentless Nana couldn't concern Nanao since he just demonstrated his power : so the only other Nana had to be a fake one. |

Maybe because the people at the school are the real enemy of humanity? At least that's my theory I also don't think he's dead. It's weird because the posters of the anime shows her together with Nanao and the ash-haired guy, so maybe they'll become friends at some point? Guess we'll have to wait and see |

DiabloMask said: This reminds me of Neverland's first episode, hopefully it's not the kind of show that relies entirely on a single twist. I had a neverland vibe as well... |
| I thought that was pretty boring (unfortunately I was spoiled on the plot twist on Reddit). I also wasn’t a fan of the art style. I don’t think I’ll like Nana much, but I guess I’ll give it a few episodes. |

If people don’t like Nana being the mc, what’s your problem with that? You’re also being kinda butthurt about their opinions. Anyway, I couldn’t care less about Nanao but I’m not sure if Nana will be an mc I’ll like. |

| OMG for me it was a great first episode! not only that, the last part was a twist! damn sly girl! this is instant an auto follow for me! 5/5! |

Nanao is the perfect representation of a false underdog that the current shonen use, it is already typical that they present you with a character that supposedly has nothing special, but actually he is special. |

I just find it funny when they are selfinserts. Ok, you have your opinion and others have theirs. Anime is just entertainment, and if they don’t find it entertaining because they don’t like the mc (or they self insert as you put it) it’s nothing really worth laughing at imo. What’s kinda funny though is how people are calling this a MHA ripoff. |

If Nana and Nanao’s roles were reversed, it could’ve made it more interesting for some people. Make it seem like a female mc centred shoujo or something lighthearted and then make a 180 and turn it into a psychological seinen series. There definitely seem to be many people that would have preferred a male mc (I don’t really care either way for this series), so I wonder if that’ll figure into how popular the show will get. |

It's not deconstruction and shounen is not a genre. Demographics is just label of magazine, it has nothing to do with the plot. I mean "shounen" in general not only because of the nekketsu, but also adding to those typical light novel stories about wizarding schools that were popular before the isekai, there are several elements here that are to go against the normal development of those stories For example: eliminate the character who is a stereotype of a generic protagonist who shares characteristics with deku and touma |
| Eh everything so far was pretty cliche, including the ending. This whole episode unfolded eerily similar to a short story I wrote in middle school lol. I wasn't surprised since it was pretty obvious she was just mostly guessing everything. Her deductions were far too basic and she was asking too many questions. And I facepalmed when the MC said his power was neutralization, I guessed it from the beginning but prayed it wasn't cause so many other MCs already have that power (Mikan from Gakuen Alice, Touma from Index). I wish Nanao was dead, he seems like a boring MC, looks-wise, power-wise, obvious sad-story-background-wise, and personality-wise. But of course he's not. Welp I'll just keep watching for Kyouya, cause Yuuichi Nakamura VA + white-hair = best boy already. |

Noragami's manga first chapter also had decoy protagonist and it's also shounen manga. Shounen doesn't specify anything. |
|
| Look like rushing a little for me. I thought Nanao would be the main male protagonist but by looking at the ending song (or Opening song), Kyouya the main male protagonist?? |
 |
| At the first 41 seconds I thougt "a MHA clone". At 8:41 I started hating the girl just as much as the "MC". The discussion on how does it feel reading peoples minds at 10:01 was interesing (in my case though, she woudl hear nothing). At 17:00 I thought "well, he does have a talent, a reactive one..." At 19:00 I felt like this was gong to be a romantic comedy. And then, 19:52, wait what? |
 |
| Although I didn't expect discount Deku dying, she having no powers was pretty obvious. I mean, it's in the title of the series. |
