THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I've read the manga before for this and animation looks pretty sharp for an battle action shounen.

We got Takemichi whose life changes forever in this episode. Some of his reactions are pretty priceless. But yeah, the story is pretty straightforward and sets up for itself. Expecting plenty more characters to be introduced later on.

Which sites list as episode 0?

Schedule clearly indicates episode 1 airs this week and I've never heard of episode 0 before.

Quite an exciting premise, I like the concept of this anime. Animes that focus on gangs are rare so I hope this'll turn out to be good.

Main character Takemichi seems likeable and I think I'll really like Hinata. She seems like a really sweet girl. Wonder why they broke up later thou.

There is no episode 0. Do a bit more research before you post next time. What you are talking about is the special premiere of episode 1-3 streamed in MuseAsia.

As @MegamiRem already said, the 'Episode 0' you saw was probably the preview of the first 3 episodes. Episode 1 was broadcast in Japan an hour and a half ago, and it'll be on crunchyroll in half an hour.

Heh, one of the best manga of Weekly Shonen Magazine, and we're finally here with the ever-promising 2-cour adaptation.

Takemichi has had quite the life: being part of a gang and living the low-life scenario. But deep down in his heart, he just wants to be done with relations to the Tokyo 卍 (Manji) Gang and save those under their scrutiny by getting a 2nd chance at life of leaping through time and set things right to change the future.

This is looking to be a shining diamond gem of a Shonen, and Liden Films did a great job adapting the manga, even with mangaka Ken Wakui's simplistic designs. BTW, this is Chapter 1 in its (close to) perfect entirety.

"No... Don't push him", I was gonna say and then someone did it. Wth
But, I love how he's happy about his flip phone, I guess he's the same as me in some ways. LMAO. Well, it's not bad to rewrite (or more like relive and correct the mistakes you made earlier) your life from 12 years back if you get the chance. I wonder how this will go as the story progresses. Looking forward to these gangs and stuff.
Quite an interesting start. Definitely a good one tho. The premise is pretty straightforward as well. I'm hooked.

Somehow reminds me of 20th century boys even though they're not similar for a bit.

I kinda hope Takemichi will stay virgin for a life (or at least, won't involve with any woman), but I don't want to curse on Hinata, I want her to revive too.

I always find it so reassuring that someone knows what the MC goes through whenever they do a time leap.

Alright, good start. These Saturdays... goodness.

Solid premise, executed quite well with a protagonist that doesn't sit on his behind all day after realising what he wants! Gonna definitely keep up with this one

Promising start, really liked it. Reminiscent of Boku Dake ga Inai Machi in some ways but with more straight up action.

I was expecting that he'd just continue living through his middle school years again but it looks like every time he makes a major decision he goes back to the present and we get to see how it changed. If that's the case how will we time leap again? Does he need to go into a near death scenario again? Well, I guess all of this will be explained in future episodes.

Characters seem nice, Takemichi looks like a likable MC and Naoto seemed good too. The manga appears to still be publishing so I'm curious how much of it we'll adapt. Is the entire story just going to be about saving Hinata or does it expand later?

Very promising start. Good character designs and a likable MC. But then, time travel plots like these are usually winners. Whether it's something like Erased or, to a lesser extent, Again!!, it's tough to go wrong with them. If this can deliver on its strong premise it has a shot at being truly great by the end. Definitely excited.

Damnnn I wasn’t expecting this type of show from the Key visual. This actually could be really good. It gives off bokumachi vibes too. Normally don’t mess with shonen, but this has potential. I think the concept of them bouncing back in the timelines is a cool dynamic.

It will be hard to top this for me. But yeah, Fumetsu is among the contenders that could rival it along with 86 and Vivy.

This first episode is good, i really like the colors and the music, and i hope the awesome manga fight scenes will be well animated

I have one concern tho, they will probably censor the manji (卍) for understandable reasons but i feel like it's sad 'cause this symbol is very important in the manga, it would be like censoring the skull and bones in One Piece
Kinda sad to see a important buddhist symbol being censored because of cultural differences and occidental history :/

The story is really interesting and it got me hooked. I thought he was going to live as a child again but it was a temporary time travel, which changed the current timeline. The animation was good. It was a great first episode.

bruh I'd understand if it was some minor event but you'd think you'd remember if something as tragic as seeing your cousin betray you and your group gets beaten up actually happened :P

also if tachibana died in a gang altercation that happened during the festival, couldn't Naoto have just told her not to go :P. Though I'd assume it'll probs be revealed later on how she actually dies or smth

but otherwise ok start

Still feels unreal to see this animated. With this and Fumetsu no Anata E getting animated, alongside other promising shows, be it an adaptation or an anime original, this season is proving to be really exciting!

Opening by Official Higedandism is great, too!

Ending left me with mixed feelings and confused. Hopefully they'll explain how those time-leaps work. So MC only temporarily jumped in time, yet changed it, but will have to jump again it seems (and likely several more times). It was weird that Hinata's brother was like "yo, do it again!" as if he's certain MC can do it lol.

Still, intrigued me enough to go read manga.

This seems decent so far, it certainly has potential to be a good, solid show as long as the time travel aspect is handled well. Looking forward to more.
