Seiya said: Ventus_S said: This episode is only of tip of iceberg. The initial episodes would make you think it's a generic shonen, but ho boy, I can't stress how wrong it is. I'm catching up to manga now , and so far I get the darkest/ most brutal yet touching shonen I've ever seen. The flashback of key events are handled much better than One Piece and Naruto. (I mention those 2 cuz those 2 series are famous for using numerous flashbacks to touch your heart/ makes you feel.) Combine Fullmetal Alchemist + Hunter x Hunter + Parasite = Karacuri's Circus. (Not about combat being similar, it's about how it handles flashback/ world building/ philosophical debate/foreshadowing ) Can't believe I'm missing out this masterpiece back then. Maybe I was too young to appreciate this series back then. (I was still a dumb kid at 2006 when the manga ended , and only interest in generic shonen at that time I guess) I see. Yeah, I'm really enjoying this Anime so far. Yeah, but I'm really worrying about the episode count now after reading the manga It's not like regular shonen which you have lots of filler you can cut.. (Like you can cut out 50 combats in Bleach and it'd still make sense) I'm kinda afraid they skip some key event so the emotional impact / emotional investment become much smaller , or they'd to skip/ rush some main events . There're some daily life and combat that can be cut I guess, but 36 episodes really seems too short. I think 50~64 episodes are much more appropriate. |

Oh, I see. I've never read the Manga, so I have no idea what's going to happen next in the Anime. |

| I haven't read the manga but I saw some brutal scenes in the panels that I Googled a long time ago and I hope it gets adapted. I am excited for this! I wanted to see Masaru grow up and he changed by the 3rd episode. I was in this for the puppets, the Narumi x Shirogane ship but now I'm in it for Masaru and everything else. Masaru surprised me when he jumped from that window and hired Ashihana while all bloodied up, he hired someone who was hired to kill him. What a little badass shounen! Also that cute moment between my fave ship: Narumi x Shirogane,when Narumi joked that Shirogane was gonna be his girl and she didn't laugh, I squealed. Too bad not many people are reviewing it on YouTube. It would be fun to see their reactions too. |
| 臭い- |
| More people need to watch this show. |
| well masamaru surely changed...respect for the kid... |
 |
| Wow! Didn't expect this show to be so dark! |
| I watched the episode, thought it was good but that it went by a little too fast, went to read the manga part that it covered, saw that it was actually a full volume. I'm okay with cutting off content, but the stuff it cut was actually very important to fully understand the turning point in Masaru's mind. They should have at least made two episodes with this volume. This is a serie that focuses a lot on characters' feelings, and feelings need time to get to the viewer, unlike action. There, I think the episode didn't leave enough time for the viewer to get Masaru's feeling of only beeing a bait (perhaps more will be shown in the next episode so I won't detail it here), and that it caused a lack of build-up for his development. I'm a bit sad to see that none of the shows I'm watching (this, Radiant and Goblin Slayer) are as good as their manga counterparts when it comes to character development. |
| Masuru get so tough to the point he can withstand a fall of 10+ meters and bumping into someone that easily, eh. oO |
| WOW! the OST is so impressive the whole moment that Masaru jumped and fell until the end of this episode! DAMN! 5/5! |
 |
| That was a lot of action and emotions all rolled up into one beautiful package. I'm loving the art direction. Everything feels so unique. |
 |
| I fucking love this show so much I can't put it into words. Seeing something on this level of quality and with this much passion put into it in 2018 among the heaps of garbage that get churned out every season almost makes me regain hope in this industry. |
| jeez intense episode, I wasn't expecting Masaru to have character development yet, kinda thought he would be a weak MC for most of the series |
| I guess love can treat his disease. Wow, Masaru evolved! |
 |
| Well this episode certainly gets points for character development! Masaru was a crybaby at first, which annoyed me a bit. But I guess he has become a fighter now. Jumping from that tower like that was awesome! :) |
 |
| Shiro is my new favorite waifu sorry rem! it's so refreshing to see a whiny character like masru actually grow up, thank god I was getting tired of seeing him cry and get kidnapped lol I love this show I can't I dropped it when it came out! |
| Loved the interaction between Shirogane and Narumi this episode Masaru is really impressive this episode, getting all those injuries and not giving up |
