I was really looking forward to it because of the obvious reason that it's from the same creators as Death Note. Personally I didn't find the storyline appealing enough, actually I'm quite disappointed.

The way they have been fussing about happiness is so cliche. And I'm sure they'll continue to blabber about it the whole 24 episodes. I don't know if I'll be able to survive that long.

And it looks like it'll turn into all mecha, this is really not what I was expecting. I don't want to judge it and reach conclusions too soon so I'll give it a few more episodes.

Probably high hype in the beginning because it was the duo who did Death Note. But make a best seller doesn't mean you will do the same with another story.
Personally i didn't read platinium end so i will look the anime but with the pic you posted, the end of the manga make me feel there is something wrong with the story because it's really bad sells at the end :O

It started so fast and it felt like everything happened at once, but that's why there are pilot episodes, right ? :D

The first 10 minutes were a bit of a cliché but the twist about Mirai's aunt and uncle was really good and the anime went from 1 to 10 all of a sudden! Thank goodness there was no awkward scene between Mirai and his aunt. I'm trying to prepare myself for anything while watching anime....

Since it will last 24 episodes, I think there will be many filler episodes. I hope I am not bored at that time. But so far it's going really well. Also I don't want to read the manga because I want to be surprised while watching. :3 I really liked the mystery part.

Death Note The eDgLoRd Edition Now With Really Intensive Raw eMoTiOnS!

So the uncle rigged the car in such way that it exploded in one push of a button...if no amount of dynamite was involved (and the police would be very intrigued) there's one explanation - this car was Tesla.

The angels are so sus.

Well, this was somehow okayish episode, ngl I expected a bit more. And given that this is just too similar to Mirai Nikki (MCs name is Mirai - coincidence?) which wasn't all that great I shall keep my expectations low for now since with what manga readers are saying it is gonna get worse somehow? Like idk but the only thing this anime has going for itself is the mangaka and I just don't know if that is gonna cut it.

This episode was okay, nothing visually spectacular but not bad either. Skipping out on Mirai's nightmare and Tonma's short introduction on the TV was weird, makes it feel less coherent because he just appears for 3 seconds and gets killed by another candidate, and they'll have to explain the red arrows next episode.

That's just the animation team making a mistake. It doesn't happen in the manga.

Lol how do you not care about the source material when this is just an adaptation? Manga readers are just giving you a heads up of what to expect. Anime of the year after just 1 eps? C'mon, man...


They say its bad but idk in what way , maybe for me i’ll like it, its not because majority hated the manga , i’ll for sure hate the anime. And I said “this can be” my anime of the year, the year almost finished and its my favorite among the other fall 2021 anime I watched. I liked episode 1 and I see it has potential from what i’ve saw so far, in the end it being my anime of the year is opinion based. Agree to disagree 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not a fan of battle royale tbh but I will be keeping an eye of this because I liked the authors past works despite being so different from one another.

Nasse or I guess all the angels are really creepy, but Nasse especially with that childlike voice and act.

It was a good and fucked up episode. I love the death-game topic, despite some little things regarding the animation, so far it’s really promising, knowing the creators if the adaptation is well made, I think it can be really amazing.

I'm not sure if this Angel is good or evil ^^; I mean, she's basically giving options for Mirai to turn a delinquent without ever being noticed lol

I'm in shock just by discovering Mirai's aunts have trashy souls who only cared about money and nothing else. There's a saying that "If you want everything, you'll lose everything" and that is soo true :/ , at least that's my point of view and the way they are trying to show us here.

The beginning seems alright and I'll give a couple of episodes to see the progress/development of this series, cuz I'm not so sure yet.
Also, this is giving me Mirai Nikki vibes >.>

Not really a fan of the art style used for the characters, however the scenery when he was flying around was absolutely stunning.

Episode was decent, enjoyed it a bunch though. I was reluctant to watch this too, and I'm glad I ended up going through with it cause it's pretty interesting. Didn't even know it was by the same people that made Death Note till coming here lmao

I remember in Death Note, Light said he want a Wings and now the author give it to the MC in another series.
Could be a reference to that lol

Oh boy isn't that a depressing first episode.
Interesting Premise, another Battle Royale Anime.
Animation and Art was alright, i like jt.

I think the last one that i watched was Darwin Game was on 2020.
Considering the amount of Isekai, i kinda like something different.

PLATINUM END 1st Episode IMPRESSION:

Well, we didn't even get to the main plot yet in this episode, so i'm not sure if i even allowed to say this. But is it intended to be so boring like this in the beginning?

First of all, i noticed the exact opposite theme the creator decided to go through, that linked heavily with their older projects. And i kinda worry about that, because now they have confidently set a pretty high bar for this show - not to mean that the bar does not there before, it just with this direction the bar become even more clearer - I'm just saying, people gonna be more frequently comparing and complaining about this.

Ok back to the episode..

I understand that this episode only served as a character foundation, but surely they can do better at the narrative to help people invested in it, right? I mean if i didn't know the creator behind this already, surely i would immediately assume that this show is a version 2.0 of a shitty last season death game anime "Battle After 5 Second Meeting" or some kinda... only with a better graphics and a hotter waifu

The narrative could be so much better if we instead start with the death of the protagonist family first, then we see him got adopted, we see him getting stressful, and then he attempted suicide, right? Rather than we see a man out of nowhere suddenly jumping off a building, with us audience not knowing a single things about him. I mean if he die on that attempt, then his actions could be impactful. But then he got rescued by an literally Deus Ex-Machina (now i starting to hating this more), then we learn his backstory and tragedy through an exposition, then after that we immediately go to revenge arc. And by the end, did they expect the audience would sympathize with him? Sorry this is not effective

Not to mention the angel character is also boring asf - i kinda hope they would go with an "accurate biblical angel" potray in this. That's should be a lot more interesting

In the end, the potential gruesome moral war plot that i've been hyping for from the beginning, is the only one holding me back. And sure the early details looks promising -But this is mostly only because i know the creator trackrecord beforehand- I can easily see a blind viewers get turned off by this premier alone, because me personally also didn't want another "Battle after 5 second.. crap polluted my season watchlist anymore

But we'll see

That was a minimum 9/10 first episode. People are just giving it bad ratings because they went in with a negative opinion of the manga.

This and Saihate no Paladin getting ratings in the 7's is fucked up when Komi is getting over an 8.5. Everyone just wants to watch "misunderstood kid at school" over and over and over again.

Hmm, I liked the beginning and the concept that being an Angel doesnt necessarily means that they're good. But overall I felt that its just gonnna be another Battle royale kind off Anime with some weird powers like the love arrow und such.

Ok? So? The anime could save it. Most people (including in Japan mainly) watch the anime even if they drop the manga or if it not popular. Maybe the adaption can do the Manga (and story) justice. Sales dont mean everything all the time. check out tokyo revengers sales before and after the anime. The whole point of anime is to boast the sales of manga.

I liked the start and the concept until the whole "You should die" bit then when she actually dies he freaks out as if that's not just what he wished for. I haven't read the manga but I'm interested to see if MC actually fights or does anything or if it's just going to be another "If you kill the bad guys murdering everyone you're just as bad as them" tropes.

How do you save shit plot? You are wrong, manga is much more mainstream then anime in Japan. When sales dip this much it clearly means there is something wrong with the story.

After watching the first episode of this one, it became clear to me that anime industry has changed alot since Death Note and in the worst possible way in every aspect, be it presentation, animation and music. I will only talk about anime here and since it is written by the author of Death Note so, it is only fair to take it as measring stick.
First the presentation. Platinum End despite being dark fantasy was presented in a very spearkly and bright format something which kills the atmosphere of the show not to mention the first episode felt rushed. Another thing that really ruined it for me was use of unecesssary base and way to overdramatic panels. Where Death Note was presented as gritty thriller, Platinum End's presentationwas that light hearted magical girl anime.
That takes me to second aspect, music. Where Death Note's music felt experimental regarding OST, OP and Ed, Platinum End's music has that Kpop or Jpop ish feel to it which makes it very difficult to take the show seriously.
And finally animation which although was good but it definitely lacked the feel that a show like Platinum End needed. It felt groggy at some instances.
Amalgamation of these factors make show way too overdramatic rather than a gritty thriller unlike its predecessor and that is the problem of current anime industry. Everything has becomme so generic that there is hardly any space for experimentation.
In case of Death Note, first episode was enough to hook anyone due to its feel and presentation. Not to mention both OPs had different styles, grit and themes to them but the OP of Platinum End and any other moderrn anime in general looks like a preview of showw with some hype frames and all. I wish people in industry look at these things and realize just how formuliac everything is nowadays and change it.

Animation is pretty standard, not the best, but not the worse I've seen either. I'm looking forward to seeing this animated. Not the biggest fan of the story, but I'm hoping they do a better job at adapting this, since the manga itself is a real slow burner.
