| well that seemed weird to me the female MC is rther emotionless |
 |
| So as I'm reading other people's opinions, I realize the first 3 episodes are kind of like a prologue. OK. No problem. I'll wait a couple episodes. This is interesting anyway. |
| As others have said, the presentation is pretty awkward. Weird pauses and transitions, confusing and somewhat lifeless dialogue (like, is it actually lacking clarity or is it just me?), meh art and lots of still frames. Idk if I want to continue... |
| This is the third anime (Alice to Zorokou and Sakura Quest) that got my interest this season, I'll watch more. I wonder if Souma has some sort of powers too. |
 |
| Slow start, giving audience lots of questions without answers. My biggest question is, how could Haruki aware of her power & restrictions if she herself doesn't remember the reset? Pretty interesting though, and still have potential for future episodes, as this series is 2 cour. I think it's too early to judge this anime based on the first ep. |
| Would be easier to swallow if the dialogue wasn't so awkward. Overcomplicated is not smart, it just feels like you are trying too hard. Giving it two more episodes to close the arc, doesn't seem to be a bad anime but the effort to watch is higher than the profit. |

GangsterCat said: sasalx said: good job being a fanboy who get satisfy by everything as usual.@GangsterCat Sometimes I really wonder why you are still trying... Just watch your ecchi and go with it man. You don't have to drop every show and add it to your list. Then again it is your list so idk. OT: I really like the first episode. Start was slow yes but it get interesting quickly for me. Nice twist at the end. Also is the class rep. cousin of Ougi or something? not my fault that a lot of anime are so shit, especially this one. a lot of poeple agree with me it seems. Frankly I was not being a "fanboy". Since I do not post a lot in anime sub forums I tend to post in shows I like. For every season I drop nearly 4-6 anime. To mo there is no point adding them to my list. Giving a score is much worse if you ask me because even it is so bad you can't know what show can offer. I only do those when I find an anime that is utter garbage. Like Kampfer for example. So my point was about it. Not about specifically this show or any show but like I said this is your list do whatever you want. This is just an opinion. |
| I read a lot of comments that commented on the "slowness" of the first episode, but considering the length of the series, I thought that it was perfectly fine. Additionally, I actually understood and appreciated the dialogue while also finding it to be rather thought-provoking. The first episode was, indeed, filled with the basis of characterization: - We now know of the calm, straightforward, rather emotionless nature of the two primary main protagonists. - We were briefly introduced to the student council girl's relatively intelligent and cunning behaviors/thoughts. - It briefly gave an explanation of the superpower situation they're living in. - gave some background on the main female protagonist - showed an example of how the resetting ability would work. - After briefly characterizing the main protagonists, it immediately jumped into a problem and used it as the suspense in the next episode. All of these qualities show me that it will likely be getting close to an eight on MAL by the end of the series. It's only just begun; don't be so hasty to judge it. Steins;Gate also had a really slow start. This series is basically like the monogatari series' dialogue without shaft |
| I'm sad I'm one of the few who liked this first episode |
| It was unexpectedly surprising. I hope it'll continue to amuse me. |
on 
| What a mindnumbing episode with that massive amount of dialogue . The art style and the charackter designs are the very definition of "bland and boring" and the animation quality is ok at best. BUT i cant deny that the end of the episode peaked my interest and i really wanna know what is going to happen next so i will give this one a chance. (no matter how i struggled to keep up my concentration for 25 minutes lol) |
SakurasouBusters said: Yep, seriously do not understand the terrible reviews or score for this. Yes, it was super slow paced and the characters SEEM bland, but the slow pace works, and the characters are interesting and likeable Best first episode so far What you just said makes as much sense as the dialogues in this show. Yeah, it's not like it has anything going for it in other aspects, but the dialogues are the more unnatural and pretentious thing I've heard in a very long time. Katsuhiko Takayama never fails to deliver utter bullshit. |

This series is basically like the monogatari series' dialogue without shaft But with Steins;Gate they managed to clue us into what was going on without straight up talking at each other about it. It's the Show-Don't-Tell rule. Steins;Gate also created a solid atmosphere with some creepy lighting and use of colour, none of which was present in Sakurada Reset. Not to mention the characters. They all have clear and entertaining PERSONALITIES that bounce of each other and create chemistry which was, again, missing from Sakurada Reset. I will agree with you on the Monogatari comparison though. I feel that if they'd included some interesting visuals for us to look at it could have saved the show, much the same way Monogatari does it. |

In all fairness, Steins;Gate is a masterpiece by my standards, so maybe it was an unfair comparison. I just wanted to get the point across that it's too soon to judge the series based on its slowness. The graphics in this series are pretty average. I don't think the story is actually that bad though. I think that it's probably the studio that's dragging it down lol. Most of the monogatari series' characters were also relatively emotionless like in this series, yet the visuals brought it into a whole new level. Shaft tried to repeat it with Zaregoto and yuki kajiura, but it's really not working out well imo. |
| I quite enjoyed episode 1. It's an interesting concept to have a character who is so zen that they have no sense of self, also enjoyed the conversation about selflessness and the question about if you do something for others, are you doing it just to help yourself? I thought it'd be a typical time-reset anime at first (I went into it blind) and was a bit surprised to see it was an ability-user type of thing. Wonder what kind of direction this series will take. |
| Okay, this is interesting. Even thou the conversations are dull, I still kinda enjoyed it. Haruki looked lifeless (maybe she is an android??). Kei is pretty idealistic MC. Well, this is a 2-cour anime, I will expect this more. Hope it could deliver and get better. |
 |
| The writers of this thing don't know anything about human interaction. Those are the worst dialogues I've seen in a while. This is how highschool kids talk right? The light novel must be a soulless mess. |
 |
| The first episode reminded me of something Mahouka, the same static picture and mechanical dialogues with Hanazawa, only now she in the role of a robot: D All the same I hope that it was just an embarrassing attempt to exposition and introduce the characters. |
 |
| People flocking together with physics-defying abilities remind me a lot of Charlotte, plus his ability to retain memories of previous/former histories is like time-leaping and time travelling in Steins;Gate. MC's character is a bit, a tiny little bit unique... that weird sense of justice... no it's not that the sense is weird, him seeing himself as not righteous despite actually being it is. I'm not sure about the execution but the story fairly kept me interested and they made it 24 eps so I guess I'll stay with this.... for now... |

| 3/5 Despite how slow this episode was this really caught my attention. I'm very interested in where this will be going. My only real complaint is how emotionless the two main leads are. It's like they are devoid of any personality. We later learned why with Haruki (sorta) but Asai is seemingly lifeless though I'm sure there is a reason why he is the way he is. Other than that I am very interested in the next episode. That revelation at the end came out of no where in a positive way. All the nuts and bolts are turning in my brain on trying to figure out where this will go. I'm looking forward on how this first mystery unfolds. |

| what do you guys mean by slow? it is just first episode which great, 8/10. talking about slow-start series, it is stein;gate nevertheless the story line is still masterpiece. I get the feeling this series going to be great. didnt read the LN, hoping they adapt all eventhough 24 eps sound quite enough to adapt the whole thing but I still doubt it. can anyone spoil me who is the android amongst those three? sorry :'( |
 |
| Reminds me of Charlotte... Let's see how it will differ. Kinda got bored, but the last scene caught my interest. 3/5 |

| this anime felt so lifeless wth? some of the dialogue didn't even make sense to me... i don't think i will last 1 cour let alone 2 cours lol... i think i'm going to watch the live action instead (hopefully it'll be better - probably not though) |
| I liked it. Seems a Charlotte more... dense, maybe? |

| This show asks the question, "How long can you stay on a static shot until someone realizes you're staying on a static shot?" Jokes aside, this episode was... interesting, to say the least. The premise, while interesting, was dragged down by the slow execution imo. I just hope the next few episodes pick up the pace a bit more. |

| Well that was... interesting... I guess. It was okay, but just okay. It felt long and slow, characters seem seriously lifeless but I guess they were suppose to feel that way, ost is fine and I see nothing wrong with the art style, but there isn't enough going on. This type of work is something Shaft would have made work well, they do good with dialogue heavy anime like this. There needs to be more to keep me interested. The idea is cool but the execution is lacking. Things need to pick up or I won't be able to stick around for this. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Interesting premise, especially I like this kind when it involves time looping or resetting. Although execution was that not good. Transition feels like skipping. Well I like the OP(insert song) and ED, it suits the atmosphere. The character designs and color palette are good for me, although not that satisfy with the animation, lacks a bit something with the gestures and facial expression. It was fine episode imo, and I'm surprised its 24 eps., so looking forward to we're this show will head. |
 |
| holyshit, I really don't like this emotionless type heroine.. the interaction between the chars are so terrible, yeah, maybe because the personality but.. haaa, I'm gonna stick with this just because I'm interested on the mysteries |
| kept hearing tanya! |
 someone else always have what you want, but it usually means nothing to them... |
| Why is everyone hating on this. It's just the first episode give it a chance at least. Anyways. This show has grabbed my attention so far with its mystery and supernatural genres. Let's hope it doesn't disappoint me. After seeing that person jump of a bridge and seeing the preview I'm interested in seeing what will happen. |
 |
| Interesting is what this show has going for it so far, that's for sure ~ being curios what's gonna happen & all that. Too bad there's nothing more than that from a 1st glance. Everything is a bit too lifeless... |
| is this anime? why it feels like i am reading light novel? |
Sorry for my bad English  Humans see what they want to see |
| the premise is really interesting i just got bored |
 |
| quick, explicit review lmao |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Well uh..this show is sort of weird and confusing. |
 |
| Oh my God, those dialogues ! I thought I was done with this after I ended ZZ but the way certain lines came out were worthy of Zeta Gundam ! Incredible for a show based on a light-novel (since those books rely heavily on dialogues). If this wasn't a full-length series, I would think about stopping here. Apart from that, there was nothing noticeable (sadly for the anime): everything seemed flat, from the voices (I suppose this was on purpose) to the pictures themselves. On the other hand, it at least presented everything required for a first episode. 1.5/5 I feel ashamed for this epidermical reaction. Can someone explain the international title imposed by the producers? @CodeBlazeFate You have to grace your ears and eyes with those 20 minutes ! It might not be at the level of some handshake but still... |

| Wow, this was amazing! I thought at first that the characters kinda spoke like robots, but...the concept and plot is simply so good. Already my favourite show of the season. |
| I've been thinking about this a lot and narrowed down a few problems with the episode: - I was being read a story rather than watching one, almost everything in this episode was "tell" not "show". - Massive info dumps disguised as natural dialogue, I'm sure the dialogue worked in the LN and made sense but it was badly introduced here and completely unnatural. - No reason given to care about these characters, they're bland and lifeless serving only as vessels for telling the audience the plot. - The first episode reset was a bad starting hook, a girl crying with nothing coming of it, the real hook is buried in the final scene (if you only have one good hook then use it early). - MC's lack of acknowledgment of the reset and every character just accepting things naturally, this is completely disconnected from the audience, there is no audience surrogate which leads to the bad and stilted dialogue. The biggest flaw unless I am missing something: - The only person in a position to discover that resets happen is the MC yet everyone already knew about it, if you reset and remember nothing then nothing can be changed, useless skill up until now and badly introduced. I don't think the story is at fault since people seem to praise the LN quite a lot, I think it's just bad directing and presentation. |

| I can somewhat get pass the unnatural dialog and bland presentation, but the lifeless characters is killing this for me. I still think this has potential, but sadly this 1st episode was pretty meh... It was awkwardly directed and scripted for most part. The low production values didn't help it either, especially taking in consideration this was the 1st episode (out of 24). I guess all the given budget and effort went into producing the 2 live-action movies instead. I will continue to watch it, but with lower expectations. If by halfway the show (12 episodes in), this doesn't get better and more entertaining, then it's a drop. It's a let down overall as I was hoping this to be better than what I got. I might try to read the LNs to see if it's the same, or this just a problem with the adaption. |
 We ultimately fear what spawns from within us ~Shinsekai yori Music is freedom. ~Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso |
| Very slow start, but I guess that's to be expected since it's 2 cour. Interesting premise, will be interesting to see where it goes. I dont see this being a standout anime at all but if they treat it right it'll either turn out decent or a huge flop. |
 |
| Why the hell did David Pro give us this instead of more JoJo? |
| I got a headache from trying to follow this...it's not that I didn't understand it, but rather the monotonous voices and characters made it difficult for me to enjoy. I'll stick with it for a few episodes though. |
| Jesus, I want to be interested, I really do... But it's so...hard to get into. The dialogue is practically monotone, the character design is iffy, it feels like they're trying way too hard to be 'deep'. Everyone just...stands or sits still and their lip flaps move... Will get through these first three episodes at least, but I don't really have a great first impression. |
