| Oh dude wtf.... Like seriously wtf was that. I was expecting some nice otherworld anime like Konosuba and what I got was Steins;Gate man. The main character is surprisingly strong. Maybe he won't get powers or anything, but he certainly will be able to fight at least unlike other MCs. |
 |
| Well, that was pretty fuck top. Both creepy, funny and intriguing. What is also pretty cool is that the revival system leave no place to time paradox or other confusing stuff. Just a boy who revives with his previous memories. On the other hand... At the very beginning, I'm not sure if it was suppose to indicate that he has been doing this multiple times or if it was just an indication of what would happen. That was a bit confusing, but I guess it will be cleared up eventually. |

| Superb start, was laughing my *ss off... XD |
 |
| Well, that got quite serious near the end. At first it seemed like a slightly more serious albeit less funny version of KonoSuba; a bit more plot oriented. Seems like that was a ruse, and a well played one at that. I do wonder how this will turn out. MC already seems a bit crazed though. He's died twice and doesn't seem to have twigged that he's actually died twice yet. |

OrangeJP said: I haven't read the light novel so this is completely new to me, but I got to say, I enjoyed this episode a lot. The comedic parts delivered and the darker parts got me interested in what will happen next. I've always like anime about time travel. The pacing feels good so far. I like the character designs   Love this character design as well. Those eyes are Amazing lol. Good first episode his power seems to be rewind time when he dies. Reminds me of erased without the dying. Liked the character's and the battle scenes were nicely done as well. The animation is on point this is looking like a good series! |

Thoootje said: Really surprising. I thought it was going to be another boring cliché 'sucked into a fantasy world' anime at first. Interesting. I hope it keeps up like this. Potential AOTS. Yeah, its appearance from the outside is really a good bait. It's basically the "Don't judge a book by its cover" all over again. But glad that you enjoyed it :)! |
| I'm surprised this show isn't even higher in terms of popularity and members this season :D the dense MC guy caught me off guard and gave me a bit of a turn off at first but damn!!!...things just got awesome afterwards, a bit of 'Boku dake ga Inai Machi' stuff going on here and I love it :D |

There are close to none source material readers here that could "hype it up" in any way, like we see it in the case of BNHA ( not that it is a bad thing ). It also doesn't make use on the success of an already existing show like Kabaneri does ( once again not a bad thing ) It's basically a really good show that came out of nowhere, at least for us. So give it some time and it will get more and more attention :) Sales wise it's already the best selling source material this season, for now :) |

| Watching it right now through the Power of Kiss(Go Kiss Go!). The cuts from the store to someone calling for help made me laugh(I don't know why),suddenly(and without ANY EXPLANATION WHATSOEVER he's in another World. For a shut-in he's too calm about this and that's not ok with me(you should be freaked out or something? Is it too much for a little acting scared for being in another universe?) I thought he was a shut-in? He's having a full blown conversation with a cute girl as if he's done this before. Strange much? Getting owned by the bullies was lame considering he was doing pretty good for someone who probably doesn't know how to fight in the first place and had to be saved by the girl. *Sigh* I can't wait for the *Dark Part* |

| I love the art and the show seems very good. Subaru is a little bit too calm, even he's playing much and such fantasy world's are very common thing for him. But I think there should've been a moment when he actually realized this is for real. The girl and the cat are cute. |

| WHA-WHA-WHAT IS THISSHIT?! I ACTUALLY LIKE IT!! *gasp* 10/5 lol So happy it went the opposite direction on the 2nd half, I thought it was gonna be another boring stuck in a fantasy world anime.  AND IT DOESN'T HAVE stupid excessive FANSERVICE!! BANZAIIIII!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D |
   |
| WHAT A SPLENDID FIRST EPISODE. I can't even begin to explain how I feel right now for this anime. This is going to be awesome for real! 11/10. |
 |
| So....Edge of Tomorrow the anime? AWESOME! Will keep watching. |

So he'll go back in time with the thief girl to find whatever? (Unfortunately, steins gate was the first vn i played so i didn't use the phone at all and got the standard ending which was okabe going mad and ending with the part timer warrior lol) Anyways, if what you said is true ( and i see no reason why it would not be) then im going to f*cking love the sh!t out of this. You don't even know how long its been since i've enjoyed an anime like this (and im only on episode 3, i cant wait!!!!). |

| Well that came as quite the surprise, definitely one of the best 1st ep I have seen in a while. |

| Dropped a lot of stuff this season and picked this up after noticing the rave review. The first episode is pretty promising start. Really like the MC. |

| Is it in fashion to have a snappy mc who being a hikkikomori has a really "outgoing" personality??????? Subaru's comedy isn't funny but rather insipid and Satella is uninteresting. But reading comments of it becoming darker is only keeping me on continuing this generic fantasy crap. |

| @mozgow I said 'generic fantasy' where mc is transported to another world and he meets cute girls who after sudden few interactions falls for them. My main spite in watching the 1st ep was how his personality was unbecoming of a 'hikkikomori' coz he's quite adept at handling social interactions and a good conversationalist. |

That's cause there's a reason for him being a hikkikomori. It's not like all hikkikomori act the same either, that's more of a stereotype. |
| @Vinyet Since I'm not a japanese, can you define what is the correct description of a Hikkikomori and it's near eng equivalent????? since I think it means a 'introvert and lacking in social interactions'. |
rinneganfire4u said: @Vinyet Since I'm not a japanese, can you define what is the correct description of a Hikkikomori and it's near eng equivalent????? since I think it means a 'introvert and lacking in social interactions'. Well, it doesn't really have an exaxct English translation as it's a Japanese term. It's used to define individuals who hide away at home and would rather be in isolation than being involved in social activities. You could say that all introverts would like to be Hikkikomori, but that doesn't mean all Hikkikomori are socially incompetent. You can be a Hikkikomori by choice, for example. |
rinneganfire4u said: Well, then this anime is far from that. There might be one girl that might fall for Subaru later in the story, but there's nothing like that so far (up to episode 9).@mozgow I said 'generic fantasy' where mc is transported to another world and he meets cute girls who after sudden few interactions falls for them. And the "transported to fantasy world" is just a trope, and using it doesn't mean the whole story is generic. |

| It may or maybe not generic, but the pilot ep of the show gave me an impression that is similar to other shows, hence my comment..... |

| Went from KonoSuba to Steins;Gate really well, though I don't think this is a time travel anime. It's more like a game, where when you die you respawn at an earlier point. |

| Now this is what I call love at first episode. |
| Hot. Damn. Now that's how you start a show! Subaru is pretty cool so far, quick on his feet and has some fight in him. Felt reminds me of Liliruca from DanMachi. Already enticed by the mystery of this time loop and what Subaru is even doing there in the first place. Absolutely no explanation and he just walks on in. Really sets a good mysterious atmosphere. So glad I saved this for midway, going to enjoy catching up. |

| Fucking shit watched 1b before 1a fucking confusing as shit!! xD oooh well 1b just amazing. love the movement really pure, n excellent, but seriously im dead.. xD after been watching 1a, man that was HILARIOUS!! mother of Satan that was funny! Thank god for GAMING! LMAO, to the fantasy world! "where'd my protagonist status go!" XD and i've been summed to a parallel world,HA! Well at least i got a more understanding about what just happened instead of getting right through death. and again.. sooo ehm i have come with the conclusion that he pressed the respawn button.. xD but i also got curious on how he had free time on swinging a wooden sword? i mean when the fuu did he do that?! xD either way quite liked this first episode, haven't heard so much about the sound but might have the OP but heard some of the ED i believe, quite nice i most say. 5/5 on first impression / first episode. kinda curious about the manga as well now! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Woot! Some exciting stuff happening here!! =D |
 |
| What a disappointing start. It was kinda edgy for me, so the whole point is to kill all the characters and the MC goes back in time every single time and keeps repeating over and over again. Maybe I should consider reading the novel since it has more context than this boring cycle. |
| Normally I'd wait until this series goes BD, but after all that hype I have to watch it as soon as possible >:D Nice start, even though kinda slow and generic. Didn't expect it to be this bloody, right away made me enjoy it much more :3 Animation is nice, charadesign for white-haired girl is absolutely stunning, one of the best I've seen in a while. Definitely not groundbreaking first episode, but I can see its potential. Can't wait to catch up. |
  |
| Wow, i'm impressed. So many things were happening in that first episode, it felt longer than the usual >30 mins lol! (but in a good, satisfying way) At first I was like, here goes the typical start again, meeting a beautiful girl and then wham! What, the 2 of them died?? And then it restarted, and it piqued my interest, but then what? He died again?!! The second half really got me on the edge of my seat and thankfully I did not give up this anime halfway through! I knew there had to be something more since this has a high score, though I must admit I kept on wondering why the high score for such a "typical start" during the first half! It seems like I'm in for a mind-blowing ride and i'm in!!! The animation of the city was breathtaking! Maybe partly because I'm watching the BD version lol |

mozgow said: @blue-y I have to warn you - the series is still airing, so when you catch up, you will know the pain of waiting for next episode :D I fear I'm catching up soon >___< |

| First episode was good, the OST was nice, but my only problem is that they didn't explain the world before going into it, at least some explanation would make me attach better to the world and care more for what is happening. Virtual reality shows should focus heavily on world-building before starting the real stuff. Also I hate it when little girls character are overpowered (not sure if that's the case here) But it gives me a feeling that I'm too old for this xD. Anyway Good start. |
| Are cringy MCs the norm these days? Adapted from light novel means...definite cliffhanger at the end of this anime. I'll keep that in mind as I'm watching. |
| Well diden't tought i would like this but that was a great first episode, i wish they would have spent more time on world building tho, 3mins in and he already was transfered into the world. I hope it won't reset every episode tho, i doubt i will like that. |
