Asian Kung Fu Generaion was icing on this wonderful cake. I'm happy I was curious about starting this show.

OMGGG! I LOVE THISSS!
Great first episode. I love psychological/mystery anime :D
I love Satoru's voice for some reason. And his mom was awesome, can't wait until they reveal the bastard that killed her. I wonder who he is, it's definitely someone she knows, and he might know too, just isn't aware.

Over-hyped series.
The premise of the story was rushed. There's no way the mom could have figured out an 18 year cold case so quickly.

Why not? She felt that the person she saw was familiar, she just had to go from there who she thought could've been suspicious that she had known and try to remember who it was.

Great episode. So, MC is back in the past and now he must find the real killer. Sad to see his mom get brutally murdered like that when she felt guilty for not believing her son about his friend. I'm a bit peeved Satoru forgot about what he was supposed to be looking for at the supermarket parking lot. Knowing Satoru and his 'revival' experiences, he shouldn't brush off the warning that fast and instead try and figure out what he missed (child eating ice cream, van, and where did the child's mom go while the killer was casually abducting the kid?).

Also, why did Satoru tried to run away from the police when clearly there's no escape and it only makes him look even worse? My guess is Satoru felt his revival coming up and he probably wanted to speed up the process by running but too bad the episode doesn't explain his actions.

5/5, for this episode as it has the most promising start. I hope soon to see more of the mysterious girl in red jacket.

Wow everyone is on the hype train for this. They cut out more than half of what they covered; it is and it's going to be completely different. Not saying it still won't be good, but call me a manga elitist if you'd like.

a bit shallow however, and it wasn't that atmospheric, but overall kinda promising for a start.

These wouldn't have happened if they took their time and adapted it properly.

Awww I'm torn apart.

On one side I'm happy to see this animated. This might also be the first time I really loved a first episode where everyone was screaming AOTS already.

On the other side they rushed and skipped so many great scenes and plot twists from the manga, which were pretty important for character and relation development. The revival scenes where also cut down to one repeat. They should have probably spent two episodes for this or made a double feature out ofthis.

However I can see why they wanted to reach this point and for that is was certainly executed very well.

6 chapters, and it was honestly done well. Chapter 3 wasn't really important so I can understand it being skipped. While I do understand how the ending might've seemed rushed, for getting the main plot twist and hook all within the first episode, I feel they did a fine job.

Oh I actually love the main character's voice.
It's a nice break from recycling the same handful of seiyuu over and over and over again.

No doubt this series has potential which i'm glad because I had/have high hopes.

Looks like i'll have to check out the manga eventually.


That ED too. A recorded version of Re:Re, what a throwback for me.

What a superb first episode, Everything is really good, how they build set up and atmosphere. very thrilling and intriguing. Like the art style and the animation too. Plus that ending really got me (i am quite sure next episodes and onward it will set as OP)
Well i hope this anime will keep consistent till the end of episodes.

Basically this.

I agree that it was rushed but it was kinda a necessity with a single episode. And they could always have flashforwards to get his perspective and thoughts on the subtle occurrences. It'll really depend if they continue to rush or if they decide to slow it down and end around chapter 35 which would be pretty good imo.

The animation is beautiful but that's to be expected from A-1 lol. The music is really good too (same composer who did Madoka and Fate Zero), and the same director from Death Note!! Just the fact that the staff is so great is promising. Not to mention this first episode was really well written and completely captivated me. I agree with everyone else lol AotS

So nice to hear AKFG again!

This could be AOTS.. but let's not be hasty! Probably one of the best starts though!
I'm definitely sure that was a Toki wa Kakeru Shoujo moment back there.

5/5!

That was good Asian kung fu generation song.

It was a really awesome surprise for me since I was just listening to them today, but strange to use one of their songs from 2004, although rerecorded this time. Same thing that was done with Kana-Boon for Perfect Insider.

But yeah, nothing else really to be said, this show has endless potential but I can easily seeing it fucking up hard, like all time traveling anime seem to do.

Still got Kajiura Yuki even if it does turn out to be shit.

Sorry but... it was so bad.
The manga is WAY better...
They skip too much. I think it would be better if they don't skip so much. It'll be so awkward after. We don't know how he comeback in past, how his "power" work and why he is close of the girl.

Best premiere episode so far, so we have a guy who auto-time travel when a negative event happened in that particular location ,what a pain in the ass power up especially when finding the negativity on that location. So now we traveled back in 1988 huh can't wait to see the next ep.

Putting this out there now. I loved this first episode but if the final solution ends up just being the played out "Hurr durr, I just gotta sacrifice myself to fix everything", then the ending is a failure.

Fingers crossed the author is better than that.

BEST FIRST EPISODE EVER WINTER 2016!! (excluding sequels and on-going series likes Assasination Class & Gintama°).

This Friday were alot of cool and new animes but this is one get the gold cup~


After watching the first episode, I went to read the manga,


Unfortunately the manga is still ongoing soi hope the anime stays loyal to the manga and no get its own ending.

An excellent and strong 1st episode to the series. I’m extremely pleased with it (art direction, music score, etc etc etc), especially since this is one of my most anticipated series for this Winter 2015-2016.

Even though I already now what’s gonna happen (manga reader), I’m still looking forward to the next episode already. I fear, the wait for each episode is gonna kill me… I might just wait until it finishes.

Pretty good first episode, very interesting as well. I like really like the atmosphere and I can't wait to see how all of this is gonna develop. This is gonna be like The Perfect insider, killing me waiting fot he next episode.

Also pretty impressed with Satoru's voice actor, he did a great job for being his first role.

Was expecting it to be a series where you have to think and pay attention but it ends up being this thriller story that you just follow so I'm kind of disappointed.

The voice actor for the MC sucks, Lol, but rest is decent to good. Not up there with series like Parasyte/Monster/Death Note when it comes to thrillers though.
