| Seems pretty good so far. Production quality is better than I expected and the story seems to be shifting in a new direction character-wise. Excited to see what's next. |
 |
| Don't remember much about S1 actually lol but I kinda grasp what state the continuation is, so we jump directly with another contest between the students with all the classes being mixed in multiple groups, I find it interesting how we'll get meet-up with students from all the classes and there's already class A which is blocking MC's group lol, wonder who is the VIP in his group. |
 |
| Things got really intense in a short time, very interesting competition and start! |
 |
| The amount of confused anime only watchers (And I even seen some LN readers hilariously enough) is astonishing. Ah man, this season has started off with quite the interesting circumstance. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| interesting plot and story has been brought right at the episode 1. pretty good episode |

| I have a question, maybe a LN reader can help: Near the end Ichinose asks the class A guy if he can trust the classmates with him, and he hesitates. But what would his classmates gain by betraying? And what would even be the betrayal in this context? If they stay quiet they're assured victory AND credit points, right? |
| Its time for special exam and the contents of volume 4. Which is gonna have some great developments and interesting moments. After 5 years COTE is back, Ayanokouji and Horikita is back too. And the pilot episode is great. Overall hyped for the end point of this arc and btw the opening song is a banger |

But what would his classmates gain by betraying? And what would even be the betrayal in this context? If they stay quiet they're assured victory AND credit points, right? Staying quiet doesn't assure victory. ie imagine if Ichinose was the VIP, and Karuizawa submitted that guess during the exam. D Class gets 50 class points, and Karuizawa gets 500,000 private points. The exam would end at that point, and A class would get nothing. What Ichinose might mean, is that it is possible that some of A class's members might not follow the rule of staying quiet, or they might unintentionally give out info. I don't really know for sure though. Z3R0000000 said: I kind of knew that the different in amount of student might change things a bit because in the LN there 40 in total while in the anime there only 25. The things changed being that the test/exam is a bit different, starting off with the of the test/exam because the name of the group are using plants while in the LN they used zodiac star. The things that I’m worried about is that things are going to change, cuz of Mia-lead info. With a bit of some new stuff that might be added in anime that not in the LN. The reason being, for example in Volume 5 they are going to need more than 25 student for the Participation thing because it like the sport festival. I would say volume 8,10 and 11 is when the difference in the LN and anime are going to be big because if I’m not wrong, in those volume the amount of student is important for the test/exam Good episode aside that If you have read the LN, What you should expect moving forward is that the LN and anime are going to be a bit different but still have the same goal. What do you LN reader think I'm not sure I understand why they changed the number of students? They should've just retconned the student count from season 1. I doubt any anime-onlies remember anyway. What if 4 seasons later they suddenly run out of students or something lol |

| I dont even know what they are doing now, the whole episode just basically talking, talking, mocking, talking, mocking, and talking about who is imposter pretty average start, let see what happened next |
| kinda like an among us concept. identifying the VIP/impostor. |
ZeroAXL said: This anime so sh!t rate it to 5/10 from that 7/10 guys You have ex-arm as a 10/10 and based on the rest of your 10s I can't tell if it's a joke or not which is hilarious lmaoo |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
You can see in youtube 'muse asia'. Karuizawa so cute <3 |
 |
| I don't remember much from S1. Was this Karuizawa girl dating anyone? I feel like I remember at least one couple being a thing |
 |
| okay start don't remember a thing or anyone's name so been slapped with a convoluted test right off the bad was not something i was expecting but in simpler terms its among us but find the VIP think im just gonna let Ayanokouji do all the work because i'm not wasting brain power trying to figure out every single character's motives to this test and apparently fans are saying they cut even more characters music is good though |

BaronBrixius said: Am I the only one who felt like this was some kind of 100000mph speedrun? That's my takeaway too...like, it was a pretty good adaption, but I think that was around 100-150 pages of material, most of which was rushed through in the first 10 minutes of the episode. Especially the scene where the exam is explained to the 4 of them, I'd hate to watch that scene without already understanding the exam from reading the LN...when I read it, I remember rereading the possible cases like 3 times before I really got it all. The 45 seconds it got here in the anime would be a nightmare. But again, in terms of simply adapting, it's a fine enough job so far...hoping they just slow the pace down a bit now that it's up and running. |
Is Blue Box my favorite manga? Not yet...Yes. Yes it is.  |
Dinxama said: it was trash and boring 5 years and the dont have the anime budget we get still shots and scenes of people not moving. OK episode,introduced the test make it understandable Set up a plot point A solod start |
Dinxama said: the plot upclose shots of faces and there was moment 3 girls try to take a photo of a girl but she was shy and later she is taking a shower naked i guess she stop being shy weird episode Guts-Valley said: it was trash and boring 5 years and the dont have the anime budget we get still shots and scenes of people not moving. And?I care the plot,it was OK for the 1st ep,a solid start i dont feel like they fucked up anything  |

Dinxama said: I never finish season 1 but i read shield hero the manga i didnt care for it. I like my villain MC to stay bad to the end like Light from Death Note. So far I have seen nothing from the MC just saying this is boring I am like it is do something. Now you tell me how I am supposed to like an episode that even the characters are saying it is boring?

Dinxama said: so they needed 20 minutes to explain the rules of the game ok so we shouldn't need to have it explain to us again in a future episodes right? So if we do see it explain to us again that would make the first episode pointless and you wrong. That girl looked to have climax in the shower she was ashamed of something.

Again,it set up plot point,not every episode need to have a climaxim,not saying its good or anything,it did what it need to do,a solid start a 7/10 ep1 |
Tehking99 said: that was her butt cheek not a scar unless you are talking about something on her rib then good job I know i am dealing with an expert when it comes to naked bodies of anime girls I would have never have caught that. Guts-Valley said: the plot upclose shots of faces and there was moment 3 girls try to take a photo of a girl but she was shy and later she is taking a shower naked i guess she stop being shy weird episode Well, for the shower part if u look closely, there is a scar on kei karuizawa body. The scar is what make her terrified to begin with. Since there are censored and uncensored tho so not sure which one are u watching. |
| Much anticipated return of the show. However, I do have slight complaints about the animation in this first episode hopefully they can fix that in the upcoming episodes. The pacing of the episode felt a bit weird to me felt like things are being rushed. |

| yuhh we back bby lets get it |
Tehking99 said: you score every anime a 10? Yea I agree you are not an expert to anything anime and I do believe you when you say you rewatch that shower scene multiple times even though you admitted to already read about it in the LN. Guts-Valley said: that was her butt cheek not a scar unless you are talking about something on her rib then good job I know i am dealing with an expert when it comes to naked bodies of anime girls I would have never have caught that. Well i not an expert tho when it comes to naked bodies plus i noticed it only when i rewatching the entire episode for the second times then only i noticed there is a scar under her breast. Nevermind then, if the anime follow the light novel entirely then maybe 2nd or 3rd episode when kiyotaka dealing with kei might reveal kei past and also the scar on her body. |
| Back after 5 years and straight into a test already |
 |
| Feels a bit dumbed down from the LN but I guess it's fine that way |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Just realized that both this and devil is a part timer are airing here in the same season; two titles that I'm pretty sure many had given up hope on ever seeing second seasons of.... but here we are. Feels quite surreal. Now I'm not a LN reader, but I can kind of feel what everyone means when they say that this first episode at least felt kind of rushed. Somehow it does feel like we skipped over some things that might've make this play out more smoothly. I like how they modelled the cruise ship quite perfectly after a freedom-class royal caribbean liner. We even got a shot of the boardwalk; maybe they'll show us other iconic parts such as central park or even the floating bar. Now if you excuse me I need to go find a quick season 1 recap because I forgot about a lot of these characters and also why they are all even doing all this testing of sorts in the first place, among other small things like who has beef with who and what not. All I really remember is our main guy and main girl, and that bipolar chick. Will probably rewatch this episode itself, I completely zoned out when they were going over the rules of the game/test. Or maybe I should just pick up the LN... |

Angel_crush1 said: true season 1 was 5 years ago meaning if you were 13-20 years old you are 18-25 years old and dont have time to watch all these anime anymore so they have to come with their A game if they want their now adult fans to pay attention. Looks like this season still has the same quality as s1 which is a bad thing here i thought this season is finally gonna get some good animation and execution as it rightfully deserves Also the psychological things going on is hard to fully grasped which in ln not so much But still pretty ok and also wtf was that shower scene of kei where the hell is the internal monologue |
