| Yeah, there are a lot of subtle hints throughout the episode. |
Yui_Suzumiya69 said: You're all wrong. It's from the director of Happy Sugar Life and writer of Chaos;Child and Steins;Gate. This is definitely going to be a mind trip and subversive show. Look at the works the director did again,you're talking as if yhe director hasn't done an ecchi harem before. He directed "My Girlfriend is Shobitch" which is a heavy harem ecchi series, and he also directed "Are You Lost?" which was a milder ecchi comedy series with yuri undertones. How abt you include those series too, before you make outrageous statements saying this anime is going to turn into something similar to chaos child or happy sugar life. |

| Another weird thing I realized was that we see a random woman walking her dog when the MC first meets Amelia. He then again meets the same puppy when he meets Ilya, but this time the woman is conspicuously missing. We don't see her even the second time we see the puppy. The director must have done this on purpose right? Else, they wouldn't have animated that woman walking the puppy and the MC meeting the same puppy in the first place. But well, even if this turns out to be just overthinking, the base show is still fun enough for me. |
vampirenazuna said: the script writer actually wrote for steins gate, so you might wanna skip this one He has also worked on STEINS;GATE: My Darling’s Embrace, CHAOS;CHILD Love chu☆chu!! and Go! Go! Nippon! Just because he participated in writing SciAdv works doesn't make him their author. |
| If they’re gonna “subvert” our expectations then at least make the first episode have a better hook. I don’t care if there’s some crazy twist when a majority of the episode will be cliche trash |
| I guess I'll give it a chance since it's the first product completely written by Yasumoto Tooru (he was also a sole writer for two vns but the plot/ideas came from other people so I don't think those count) It just rubs me the wrong way that people keep screaming "it's the Steins;Gate guy!" "it's the Chaos;Child guy!" even though he was just a sub writer for both (the main writers for them are Hayashi Naotaka and Umehara Eiji respectively and even then those two games are brainchildren of Shikura Chiyomaru) |
| Bringing this back for obvious reasons. |
Lolicon said: I'll bet my precious username that it is a typical ecchi harem anime. Considering the other two manga the author has worked on are also generic dog water, I'm not holding out that this will be different. And nobody working on the anime gives me the vibes that we're fixing to see a plot twist. so does op get the username or we decide it with a raffle? |
Skizzelle said: If you’re put off by the teaser pv, it’s almost certainly not gonna be what the show will really by like. I’m sure it’s gonna try to pull a madoka and start off pretending to be an outdated romcom but then reveal some big psychological twist Anime romcoms overall have been way different the past 5+ years, typically having less fan service and (imo) off-putting tropes. This pv uses the most outlandish tropes of the genre, and they’re doing that intentionally. They even have the girl running late with toast in her mouth. Nobody writes that nowadays unless they want the audience to be thinking of it as a trope. Since this isn’t a parody, it’s most likely setting up to subvert the genre. The key visual doesn’t fit at all with what is shown in the pv or a romcom in general and matches more with the psychological genre. The hexagons on the sides are very telling too. Maybe he’s in a simulation without knowing, or there’s some kind of murder game, or who knows. But the discount chikorita on the stairs is probably this show’s kyubey or like the game mascot. If it seems weird that an original anime coming out this year looks like it has the writing of a bad 00’s harem, then it should. They’re setting it up like that on purpose. Idk if it’ll be any good, but I would say don’t write this off just based on the pv. My hat's off to you for your spot on prediction, well done. Are you sure you don't work for the Renai Flops project? 😉👍 |

I say we saw what there is to see, and it's a cliché fan-service BS anime that will end up Ranked #5000 or something on MAL Of course, there's always a possibility of me being wrong. 5% at best. 5% prevails you were wrong. How exactly am I wrong? This show is currently Ranked #6151. It didn't even pass #5000. Basically it's even worse than expected. |

It seems like that must have been on purpose indeed, to create a bigger contrast between the first part and the second part. Considering the amount of people who are put off by this, or dropped the series, it has proven to be a risky tactic, but for those who endured the first episodes, there is a decent reward, I guess. |
| Good call, I myself went in blind, not expecting anything but a show similar to "Futoku no Guild" in terms of fan-service. I stayed, despite the boring middle and I got the twist you were talking about, happy I stuck with it. |
