| Episode didn't do much for me, but it is only an intro of the characters. |

| Hippopotamus rururururururu This is already best comedy of the season. Every line is hilarious. It's like they looked at Another and thought "Phew that was stupid. How about we make it even dumber except on purpose?" |
 |
| Well this one nice characters are good love the first ep gonna watch it |
 |
| That sure was a bad episode if there ever was one. The accumulation of cliches and bad taste was insane. |
| "Even now, I travel on my journey, Believing in the world, Aiming for something far away – an endless journey. Having a dream like someone else’s, Or being in someone else’s dream – Which would you prefer?" |
| yes yes yes i can't wait for the next episode to see the village. this really reminds me of Higurashi a bit. |
| And how exactly are they gonna develop thirty main characters in only twelve episodes? Also it doesn't even make sense for the characters to still try to corporate with the buss driver after he tried to kill them. Fucking idiots It wouldn't surprise me if this turned out to be some shitty carbon copy of Another |

| @SwordSaint But we are probably crazy since we are alone in those four pages to think of it. ^^" The most preponderant hypothesis everyone else gave is a Battle Royale road. |
| I had fun watching this. Kind of creepy and eerie, but that puking moment was absolutely hilarious. Will keep my eyes on this one. |
| :3 |
| Off to a good start, plenty of intrigue plot wise and a whole bunch of interesting characters to get to know. Tusilos said: Lion reminds me of Zone-tan. Am I the only one? hehe yeah kinda |

Orange said: The art/atmosphere reminded me of Another but no one died and seems like nobody will. Can't get that hippopotamus song out of my head. Another didn't start culling the class until episode 3. I'm pretty sure some of those people are going to get off`ed. |
| From the genius people who brought you brilliant comedies of Wixxoss and Another, comes another comedic show set in unoriginal setting, where the focus is on generic under-developed cardboard cliches of people dying in random stupid ways! Bravo Mari Okada. Bravo. I don't know what I expected, but this certainly cheered me up and made the rest of the anime this year look a lot more bright and good 2/10 |
 |
| Well, this seems interesting so far. Cannibalism was mentioned, I'm excited now. Hope there's some disturbing stuff in the future episode. Mitsumine seems to be suffering from some kind of psychological episodes. That got dangerous. Varukana is annoying, he's the reason they almost died anyway. Thank God, Masaki's vomit saved the day. Best girl with best vomit. I'm super interested in this, I feel like it can be a good show despite its unusually large cast. 8/10 for this episode, off to a strong start. The ED song implies that the purple-haired loli has an important role, wondering why she's not listed as one of the MCs.. Maybe she will early, but end up being a source of character development for the MC? Who knows. Anyways, good OP and ED, wish the later had some more animation, though. |

| I don't really get the hate, I think we got sufficient character development for just one episode. I don't like the character design much but the premise is fun imo. |
 |
| Well, that's interesting to say atleast. however why did they go with the most generic guy and made him MC? *sigh* |
| I think I will love this one. The first episode and the creepy vibes it gives off was great. Hippopotamus song was crazy, especially when it has such a cheerful tone (catchy♫). Characters looks promising, I wonder how many episodes will it take to remember everybody. Let's see whether they'll reach the village or just keep being on the road forever. Also, they are not right in their heads when they let the driver drive after he attempted to kill them all. |
| Well, at least all of the character's introductions have all be done now, although it did take a while though. Considering that plenty of them on the bus are slightly wacky or complete nutjobs, it's only a matter of time before someone dies. Their destination might be described as a location to start their lives all over from the beginning, but it has "Battle Royale" written all over it. It'll be the survival of the fittest, not just physically, but mentally too. The art style is almost similar to Another, which has the horror genre tag, unlike Mayoiga. Overall, it's a good start so far. It's only a matter of time before the drama, angst and threats become more frequent and violent. |
| Hmm really mysterious.. Gotta give it a shot huh. |
 |
| Man, that was a lot of character introduction straight off the bat. And a lot of weirdos at that as well. Bet something will happen to most of them. Aside from that, that was interesting. I like the OP and ED, and the BGM was pretty nice as well for this kind of show. So far, so good. |
  |
| Aaah my head ! Too many characters ! The OP and the ED are great, I really like the chara design even if the MC is pretty normal/standard nice start! |
| Nothing much to say after the first episode, but it was pretty interesting. Considering that the PV wasn't promising at all and what is in the spring season or rather there is pretty much nothing i hope it only gets better. |
 |
| I was all the chapter like thinking... ok... what the heck am I watching? What the heck am I going to watch? Too many characters, some of the cringeworthy and cliche as hell. For some reason it made me remember the "People's Temple" cult. That one of the Jonestown massacre. I don't think this is going to end well. Going to watch just to see what's going on with the anime. |
| fucking swear "Mitsumune" is annoying as fuck. |
 |
| Well a lot of characters.. I don't know how they will go through the build up.. I just hope it is't rushed. Good First episode |
 |
| I hope this anime gets better, it has potential, but I have low expectations. |

| Everyone in this bus is just fucked up in the head basically :> Very interesting start, already some shenanagans. |
| That hippopotamus song tho....was everyone on that bus stoned or something? |
 |
Orange said: The art/atmosphere reminded me of Another but no one died and seems like nobody will. Can't get that hippopotamus song out of my head. Reading the description I got the feeling that they're allready dead. It sounds a lot like LOST, except with a village instead of an island. Hope that isn't the case though, would like a proper realistic mystery again for a change. |

| That was....strange. But interesting nonetheless. I'll keep watching and see what it goes. |

Did Okada shit into your corn flakes? It's Tsutomu Mizushima's show, she only writes what he told her. At worst we will get comedy of the season. Unlike Another, no one will spoil us. |
 |
| I hope it will turn out to be horror. I enjoyed the first episode! :D |
I tried to be normal once. Worst two minutes of my life. ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`▭´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻  |
| Either we will get a good mystery series or a hilarious trainwreck which would also be hella entertaining. |
I know I'm not involved into that discussion but what you just said gave me a really good laugh. Thank you :'D. |
| The first ep. was quite good. I really liked the creepy feeling it gave off. My only concern is number of characters. There's no way I'm going to remember all of them just in 12 eps. :/ |
| That was so fkn weird. like wtf did I just watch. MC is annoying happy prick. Characters are....meh....but very different from each other. I'm interested though so i'll keep watching. This better not be a fkn show where nothing bad happens in the end. I want a death game anime! Make it dark as shit! Need to see characters die. Lion knows too much lol I think this anime is gonna be meh tbh. |

| I don't know what to think about this just yet. First of all, I like the premise, but... The introduction of 30 fucking characters within few minutes left me remembering pretty much nobody. Talk about an infodump. I also think the show is trying a bit too hard, it's about as subtle as a slap to the face. All the characters are visibly 'quirky,' they sing strange, morbid songs, they head to this creepy mysterious village: we get it, a lot of them are gonna die. Also, nobody can convince me the scene with the autobus driver wasn't pure retardation. First of all, why would they hire someone who had no idea what was happening with the village etc.? Maybe they're planning to kill him in order to keep the village's location a secret, but wouldn't it be more logical to just have someone from the company drive them there? He overreacted, too, and they sure as fuck underreacted. (Is that a word? I don't care, it is now.) I mean, he explicitly tries to kill them and they're like: "Okay, nevermind, sorry for being annoying?" It's obvious they just wanted some drama in this episode, that scene served no purpose other than to annoy the fuck out of me. I'll give this a chance, but I'm not expecting much after this episode. |
| This is a glorious trainwreck in the making. Thirty bad characters, dialogue that makes no sense, tryhard mystery, just wonderful. Mari Okada and Diomedea deliver. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |

galimx said: Comedy of the season. Seriously, this anime sucks. Its like Another and the characters are so meh and we got in your face 30 characters introduction. Well I am not surprised. Mari Okada - script. Cant wait when the characters will start to kill off each other. Priceless comedy and dialogues. This anime tries to give off a serious vibe, but it completely fails with its characters, dialogues and atmosphere. Everything is so obvious and superficial. Its a comedy and it was painful to watch. I will give it one more episode, maybe two. I just hope the script for Kiznaiver isn't equally retarded. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| After the first episode I can say that this is one of my favourites of this season, it promises to be good mystery, i hope it doesn't end up like massive slaughterhouse without a plot... |
 |
| Jack and Lion best characters - judging from introductions alone |
| creepy but interesting :D |
| Interesting so far. Lion looks like she's going to be my favorite. The switching between the scenes was kinda fast for my taste though. 3/5 |
