Wow, this was quite bad. And the art style with the lineout doesn't really suit the show. Oh well, it's just the first episode, but it already seems so horrible. I'll give it a chance. Maybe it'll work out, or maybe it won't.

I liked the episode. The art and animation are great for me. I like Ibara so far. Aoi and Taeko are alright, too. I'm not easily annoyed by characters unless they do something that will rub me off the wrong way. Glad it didn't so far.

You are too fast, zeta...
Anyway, i completely agree with him. This is a horrible premise that has only a faint chance of working from the very beginning. Too bad people will interpret this forced drama with hilarious angst moments as social commentary...

Anime met Chernobil.
I didn't liked the animation however the backgrounds were freaking beautiful.
Also it would be awesome if viral mutant creatures were the focus of the show and these girls were to hide almost every time and when fighting face to face it would be in a intelligent way but I don't see how's that happening now, it seems to me this is going to be rather "realistic".
I've no great expectations for this show.

Animation's a bit lacking imo but was an okay ep for now, I'll keep watching for now, just hope this wont turn into some find some half dead people, save them, bitch about the condition cycle each ep, really needs a plot, hoping it can deliver but right now I'm getting a bad feeling it might disappoint. I'll wait and see though, hope it surprises me!

Oh wow, looking at the screencap, I didn't even realize it was that bold ._. I wonder why they only outline them sometimes, and then in that screencap Taeko wasn't outlined like the other two.

Oh haha well that too, but imo it's mostly due to the outline.

Didn't like it at all for some reason.

Could be because I hate seeing girls wearing school uniform doing military stuff (what most anti-anime guys first point out when debating with me about why anime suck), could be animation style (actually no, I don't mind it) or it could be silly premise.

Either way, 3-4 more episodes before I decide if I drop it or continue watching.

Well not bad. But other than Ibara, the other characters are pretty boring.
He'll...I didn't expect to say this but Kana-chan's voice is annoying. That's how annoying Aoi is O_O

Ibara is awesome though. And the setting is nice ^^

So... why high-school girls? And why with normal personalities as if they're forced to go on some obscure school trip? I really didn't think the premise worked out with these characters. I mean, at least one of them were component and knew what she was doing, but the other two ended up complaining about WALKING and dead people. It confuses me when they're considered 'dolls' with inputted DNA, so why input them with genetics that'll not benefit them when saving others?

The animation's pretty at least (those outlines though...) and the atmosphere's alright, but the plot has too many holes and it really doesn't build-up to anything, especially with 2 annoying characters.... Why is she reacting like this? Didn't she go through training? Why do they always praise the main one and why aren't they taking this seriously and why do they seem so clueless? Ugh.

Was ok I guess.. they had them wear HS uniforms just so they could do their random fanservice (which was pretty disappointing) and the other girl broke down way too quickly for my liking, almost to an annoying level.

I'm not sold on the art direction for the characters yet, reminds me of something like kaiji mixed with AoT. Need to see more.

It was okay so far.

The outlines, I'm going to need to get used to that. Really gonna need to get used to that.

I'm going to go ahead and agree with the guy above me that it's stupid that they go in with HS uniforms. I mean, okay, engineered girls, old enough to do this.

But even if they can survive perfectly well, you would think they would be given more durable clothing than a HS uniform. Or at least pants instead of a skirt. -___-

Looks like it's going to get better as we go.

.
I only figured this out now but they call them "dolls" sometimes because like dolls they believe they do not have souls becaue they were not naturally born. Thats why the characters got worried about being just a "doll" or an animal because they are questioning their own humanity. Also genetics can only go so far and of course they are fit to save people better they are immune to radiation and one of them has increased senses (they probably all do but one more than the others). Actually i dont think they were even supposed to save people since they were told not to which at this point why they were going out instead of a scout robot sort of deal is unanswerd.

I'm simply enchanted by those gorgeous post-apocalyptic background visuals. On the down-side it makes the less refined animation stand out in a negative way though the wolf attack looked excellent animation-wise, as short as it was.

I actually don't mind that once again the main cast consists of teenagers even in such an unusual setting.
All three of the girls have shown different sides of them and the writing has been wonderfully subtle at some occasions with how it only gives some inplications about the meaning of what is said and done by the characters without spelling out each single detail.

I agree with this as well.. when the helicopter pilot came out of the cockpit he looked pretty awful even when not comparing it to everything else in the show.

So far, I think that the anime is off to an ok start. There hasn't been anything that's stood out to me besides the scenery and some of the animation but, it is still the first episode so I hope that things pick up later on.

Although, the outlines around the girls and the paleness of their skin bothers me. I hope that I get used to it or it become less apparent as the show goes on.

The outlines are not necessarily bad, but more like, it doesn't match this show's style of art. :| Maybe with Uta Koi which was comprised of mostly patterns and solid colours, but definitely not this. Art is weird in general. It looks like the girls are blushing all the time.

Otherwise, I found it to be a bit tedious and slow. Interesting plot, but a bit too mysterious for me to ponder what it's about. The preview and ED pretty much ruined the suspense about their glasses friend dying. :/ Oh well.

Been waiting for this anime for quite some time. I honestly think one of the reasons why it was delayed was due to the nuclear reactor incident that happened during the large earthquake in Japan a few years ago. Nice to finally see it airing.

That said, it really reminds me of the manga Dragon Head for some reason.

Wow this is so intriguing, i love the background and the overall atmosphere. The directing is cool, the camera movements and angle in the wolf scene is delicious!!!

Also i find it extremely ironic that the girls said that, "We're not just puppet right, we're human", or something like that, and that several minutes after, the man above inside the plan said, only robots and puppet could live in that city.

Maybe it can be my anime savior for my empty soul after Shingeki no Kyojin ends.

I really loved this! I can already see myself watching this until the very end. Love the scenery and the overall feel to the anime. It's probably just me but i sort of like how rough and weird the characters look compared to the background. I'm already picking favorites among the characters too. I didn't seem annoyed by any of them but i do look forward to see how they deal with the whole puppet situation and how that will affect them in the long run. Also, this cliffhanger has me super worried. Taeko needs to be ok, you can't give me this pain in the first episode!!

As expected the art is superb. It took a while to get used to those outlines in the characters though. Loving Ibara's accent. Pretty good start, although with many plot holes and some annoying characters already, it looks like this will get more interesting as it goes on. The ED song is hella weird.

I tough that it was a really good start. I kind like this theme, apocalyptic and mysterious. Make us want to know what's gonna happen after ^^ The animation is difference, the contrast do colors and the characters . My only wish is that the story don't lose the track and get really predictable.
I will definitely continue to watch it *-*
P.S:. Sorry for any error, or English fail. I am portuguese and others languages are not that easy xD
