And so we see the legit Antagonist Plot Armor.


Will be very shitty narrative if again the angels knew there is a way to block the arrows but "oh, we forgot to tell"

If saki has angel it means that she also wanted to die?


And since she hadn't the "you must live to achieve greater happiness" stuff, she probably still wants to die.


I imagine how long will take to the dense MC notice it.

I was just going to say the same thing, glad I am not the only one bothered by their simplicity.
I don't really get how they all seem to forget about their dying wish.
Like I don't like Kakehashi since he was all suicidal in the first episode and in just did a 180 turn, wishing to be happy and living.
Feel like the series don't take suicide as a serious matter.
"Yay Saki-chan hit me, yay I love Saki-chan, yaaay let's be happy with Saki-chan"
Man... your character is not consistent.
And the romance is so damn quick to happen.
"Seeing you Kakehashi-kun, I feel like I want to be happy"
but guuuurl ...?!

Ugh.

Just saying I wished for a lot more drama than this.

I read the manga. No spoilers, but I feel Saki is the only character with a good backstory.

Well, but she was the worst actress ever when saying that words.


I can see clearly the incel audience rooting like "yes, he confessed and the anime now stated how pure is his love, so she must be falling in love with him too!"


In meanwhile the author: "Saki, you was going to kill yourself but now you are involved in all this mess and there is this old childhood friend weird acting like a retarded because you arrowed him as your weak angel told you. Are you really happy? Don't you feel even more depressed? Don't tell it to the audience, tho"

Yes at first I felt this feeling about "it's not sincere, it's all because my red arrow", but even when the arrow's symptoms were gone she's acted all bland wishing to also be happy one day.
Not making sense for me...

@Lucifrost I am afraid to keep hope in her, haha but let's see in the future how his past story turns out !

Wow this shit is pissing me off, first he could have avoided everything if he wasn't a Beta male and kept walking. And now he's Red Arrowed so I like him even less. Also what a bitch she is,. You are going to shoot your childhood Friend and force him to love you? He wouldn't have done that to her. I seriously hate him right now Red Arrowed. Before he was a soft weakling who was broken by life (justifiably) and now he's a Simp
. Also don't you know one of you WILL die? It has to end with one candidate doesn't it? This character has mush for brains lol. Also GOING yo the stadium? When you know it's a trap? He's a weakling who can't fight, and has a weak will, he's not going to be able to fight Metropoliman or anyone else, why would he think that was a good idea? Especially since he couldn't hide his reaction to seeing Saki's Angel, so obviously he's too stupid to hide his reaction in this big situation or at least experience dictates. I really do like this Anime but man the MC is irritating to me at times.
Tbh I seriously doubt that if an angel flew right into your face you would be able to keep walking without even flinching lmao

Well Me yes, someone who's never experienced anything like that. But considering he got caught will jumping off a building by an angel and knows he's in a death game with people that can shoot him with a Red Arrow and turn him into a Slave, there's a pretty high stakes and he's got some familiarity. Seriously I'm still SOO pissed at Saki for that Red Arrow. Especially since I know a little (more than I should) of their backstory

It´s funny how this is everything Death Note wasn´t, and I don´t mean that in a good way. Even All you need is kill was a lot more entertaining giving how short it is.

I also like how each episode we get more information on how to break the rules the manga is (apparently) following. So it won´t surprise me in the slightest if our protagonist ends up developing some kind of weird op power of kindness or something like that. Then we have the main issue: both him and the waifu are angels, so either he kills her or sacrifices himself for him, and considering this is something made by the author of Death Note, both scenarios are more likely than someone else killing the main girl.

Everything is so fast but it didn't feel rush at all. I think the pacing is good. We have a romance in just one episode lol it's cute but the girl is still mysterious.. where's her parents and why she became candidate? Did she think of suicide too and Revel help her? Also their angels are so cute!! I thought Revel is a bad angel but he's not. I'm glad!

I like Metropolitan at first but now he became cringy lol the meet up in stadium is weird but let's see what will happen next..

But since that angel also do the job of a comedic (dark-humor) relief character, it is understandable.

Mirai's goals are also very weak. Like, unbelievably weak.

How come no one is making fun of those weird cosplay? People laugh at what they don't think is normal, and based on everybody's clothing, those cosplay suits are not normal.


from the first look, i already dislike her and we might see her betray mirai.

''All God candidates are from Japan'' thing was a little bit stupid.. I mean depressed people are every where you know.. I hope they can clarify this.

I thought Revel was going to be an antagonist, I never thought that he was going to be an ally and I never thought he was Saki's angel.. Idk why but I thought he was Metropoliman's angel :D Which he was clearly not..

This show is getting weirder and weirder. But I feel like the tell vs show ratio is getting too steep. Events are basically being spoken at us

I really like that the two new dudes said "you're going in cosplay? Alright" and they matched his energy asksksksksksk

Oh man, why was I looking forward to this anime. The mc is unbearable to watch and he got even worse having become a simp now. What was Death Note’s author thinking…

Also, how do people consider this “romance”. He’s just an annoying simp and she doesn’t care for him like that and admits as much. Even if she returns his feelings, which I doubt she will, it’s going to be annoying throughout. Her angel is a decent character and I don’t mind Nasse, but literally every other character especially the main 2 suck.

The beginning scene happened so quickly that it was cringey.

More mecha people are here and it looks like those blue and yellow ones are probably working with metropoliman. And them shooting the red arrow was probably to show the other God candidates that the armor is strong enough to withstand the red arrow.

Saki's angel doesn't seem to be evil. It's a good thing they are working together now.

When Mirai just flew like that in the middle of the school yard, how come no one noticed? Or is it that seeing Metropoliman flying around like that got them used to it...

Jeez how is Mirai able to fly up that high up in the Stratosphere without having difficulties breathing?

Well Nasse makes a good point as to why all the angels are in Japan.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Saki also happened to be a god candidate.

I wonder if metropoloman actually thought that people wouldn't immediately suspect that it was a trap. It was still a decent idea considering that they really did get a few candidates to come.

Love the slight twist of the love interest having an angel and forcing the main character into loving her when he already did. Also, very interesting since any main character will have been suicidal at one point. The interaction between the angels was adorable and hilarious.

Woo, metropalamans angel was fierce. Also? He said straight to hell?? Does that mean the losers go to hell if they don't become God? AWESOME. But Jeez, super sad fact about Japan having such a high suicide rate. My prayers to all those we have lost.

Ending was great, cant wait to see what the deal with the armor is.

i like the guy's angel. "purity" definitely is a fitting description of her. she just seems so nice and wise and pure hearted. i didn't realize she was a special rank. if they already told us in a previous episode i must've missed it

truth be told, that trickster angel isn't half bad either. at least he has some personality. but the two faux love birds are total duds. boring af. well, more like she's boring af and he's dumb af. at the end the girl said she wasn't interested in him at the end. OOF

so this episode spanned 33 days? since the red arrow wore off. the red arrow was kind of worthless to the story haha

did anybody else notice that one trickster angel's wings were on upside down in the opening scene? lmao. whoopsies

we learned a little more about the mechanics of the candidates work, and we were left with seeing that murderer somehow being invulnerable to red arrows

I kinda guessed the girl would also become a candidate when they said that he'd go to the same school as her but I wasn't expecting her to show up this quickly. Besides that, I don't get it. Why would they go to the stadium? Just send your angel and then stay at home.

no no no no, no.
saki is way cuter in the manga.

anyway, more importantly,
i get the need to rush up and cut some dialogues,
but that's lowering lots of depth from the story.
for example,
the reason why god candidate are only in japan is getting much better explanation in the manga
(to my memory).
the good thing it does,
is making mirai and saki better in the manga.
meaning - they are less annoying than they are supposed to be lol.
but still, they could end the episode with different cliffhanger and expand little more.

the good things are:
nasse and ravel are good characters.
and the story keeping going good.
(good as platinum end could be lol)

its like the writer thought of the criticisms about light yagami being “too unreal and psychotic” & not rlly deserving to win anyways cuz of his narcissism & so made mirai a more “human” version of him; while giving metropolitan light’s nature just cuz he still loves that idea of a character & wanted to explore it deeper by setting it up against a non-psychopathic rival this time!
