| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- First episode is out on Amazon Prime Japan https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%90%A7%E5%A3%B1%E5%88%BB/dp/B078TJKKZD/ref=sr_1_2?s=instant-video&ie=UTF8&qid=1515251777&sr=1-2&keywords=%E5%88%BB%E5%88%BB I think it's a decent start so far. Juri's character is consistent with how I remember in the manga while the story has a very eerie-thrillish feeling. Not impressed by Juri's family though especially the lazy uncle. First episode is setting up for the remainder course of the story. For now, Juri's life has changed forever. |

 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| The first mystery anime of this season is here!!! I try to watch the episode, but me Japanese is not perfect, and i prefer to wait for it will be subbed!! |
| This was a pretty intense ending but so far it looks interesting. Wondering what will happen next seeing the events so far i am guessing the entire anime will be pretty intense. The main worries a bit to much tho. |
| This was an interesting first episode. A dysfunctional family with some mysterious powers trying to rescue their family members from some bad guys is quite unique. That monster though. I'm looking forward to see more. |
 |
| Cool start, although I'll try to keep my expectations on a neutral level. I hope the story is focused more on the mystery rather than the supernatural elements but that's unlikely to be the case, and I won't mind as long as the supernatural stuff is intriguing. Anyway, it was a promising first episode. Bonus points for the characters being adults lol |
| Good episode. Nothing promising, but interesting at least, especially in term of mystery. Loved the ED song. |
| Whoa, holy dysfunctional family. I like this so far. It's weird but I like weird. A lot of stuff was introduced in just the first episode. A magic time stopping rock, flying ghosts that stop time, kidnappers, giant monsters. Cool op as well. I'm interested to see where this goes. |
 |
| Not sure where this is headed yet, little interest so far, but ending sequence got me. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| i couldn't recognize their group's leader for a while... He looks different from the manga. |
 "Le vent se lève!... Il faut tenter de vivre!" - Paul Valéry, Le Cimetière Marin - |
| the most random shit ever the anime |
| That is one unique OP song to say the least lol As for the episode, I thought it was pretty decent....The dysfunctional family of the MC kinda reminds me of my household when I was growing up (Not gonna go into detail with how though =P) so I could relate to the MC with how she felt about em and her life atm I'm curious to find out more about this time stopping ability though and how all these people are able to move/what all these supernatural creatures are The leader of those cunts said that it's in the MC's family bloodline so I wanna learn more about that |
| Pretty interesting first episode. I like the events and mysteries that were set up and I'm interested in learning more about what'll happen later on. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Pacing felt a little weird but overall I'm interested. Woulda liked to know more about Juri's family before they got kidnapped but I'm very curious to see where this goes. |
| Well that was interesting. A world with monsters where time can be stopped. And people possibly possessed judging from what happened to that woman at the beginning. Not much else to say just yet until events unravel a bit more, so I'll do some speculation. This definitely feels like the kinda series that won't hesitate to kill off characters. Before the preview I was gonna say I think Juri's dad and brother would definitely get killed next week, but it looked like the dad was being taken away next episode so he might be spared. The grandfather seems too important to kill off this early considering they were after him in the first place and he has the knowledge behind the time stopping stone. Makoto being a child will probably be alright for now too, but we'll see. |
| Very intriguing start. Time travel, teleportation and more people that can use it apparently. Also that monster was WTF. |
| good stuff. could definitly fall on its face later but the first episode was one of the best this season so far after pop team epic and devilman. Kerozinn said: the most random shit ever the anime are you really saying that when the most random shitpost in anime is also airing right now ? (Pop Team Epic) |
 |
| That was good. It's like ajin + dio |
 |
| Well, this is definitely an intriguing premise, but something feels a little off about the execution so far for some reason, and as such I'm not really sure if I actually enjoyed this episode or not. Also, why were the subtitles so damn small? Could barely read them half the time, and the formatting when multiple people were speaking was awful, especially at the end. |
| A bit messy, but overall, it's pretty intriguing. Hopefully it ends up being good since I had high expectations for this. 4/5 |
 |

Yeah, the subs were complete aids. It actually made the viewing experience worse. I hope they get better for future episodes. |
 |
| It was okay, it wasn't really exciting (except for the ending with the monster, maybe), but the series has potential, and I liked the interactions of the main character with her family. It's too early too judge the show, so I will wait a bit before taking the final veredict. |
 |
| loved it. The MC and her "average" family are somehow funny. Great start (and that fucking cliffhanger!) I hope I won't be disappointed later. Op is great! So catchy! Sounds like the perfect song to wake up in the morning ! |
| Just... what's going on lol. But yeah it was pretty interesting, looking forward to the next episode. Also, the opening theme is great. EDIT: Just realized it's Miyavi. No wonder it sounds so good. |

| NEET, hobo like father, kidnapping and ransom, too real :'( Timestop spells but another group also those it, they're after the grandpa. |
 |
| A pleasant surprise. I had some expectations for this show but this first episode surpassed them. I can easily see this becoming convoluted and shitty later on but I'm remaining optimistic about this. The directing was solid, and the soundtrack was really unique with that chanting. CG was kinda intrusive but whatever I'm kind of used to it in anime nowadays. The OP is dope as hell. Though I like the ED song, it was reaaally out of place considering the episode was serious and really tense, then suddenly...tits and ass! Classic Umetsu. I really like the characters so far, especially the Grandpa. I've noticed that badass grandpas have become a trend in anime lately and I have no problems with it whatsoever. Also nice to see an adult woman as a protagonist. The dad can fuck off though. I'll be waiting for the next episode, that was quite the cliffhanger. Really interested in the villains and how they can move during Stasis. I hope this stays good. Please stay good. |

| At first, I thought this would be a low budget slug fest with crappy plot and animation. This is a lot better than I thought, and might just fill in the "dark mystery action drama" spot for this season. |
| ED is too hot too handle!! Boku is back! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Oh wow, that was great! And that was the best anime OP I've heard in a while. |
| I really liked this first EP. Premise seems interesting, the "average" and adult MC lead is something you dont see every day in anime and the OP was really great imo. Still the premise and dark tone of the show can turn into a shitfest really fast...I hope this won't happen though. 4/5 so far. |
| Yo i dig this OP, contender of OP of the season so far. As far of the episode itself, good start, Geno studio first TV project and im curious how it goes since they will be doing Golden Kamuy next season. I like their studio intro at the beginning, i wish more studios do that. |

| Lol at these familiy circumstances. Nice start, I guess, didn't amaze me,but this show has potential as for now. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Pretty solid first episode, I'm definitely intrigued to find out what happens next. |
 |
| The tone of this show is very similar to last season's Inuyashiki...which ended up hating. Let's just see how this goes. |
 "Anime is trash and so am I." |
thereIwasnt said: ... so it's Stephen King's Langoliers? I mean, I was expecting this to go back and forth between the active world and the stopped world, but I'm gathering that the whole show will occur during this single moment in time. I guess that's okay, but they throw you into it substantially faster than most time-travel anime I've seen. I'll be interested to see where they take Juri's character. For a moment there, they suggested that she was ready to run a cutting knife through someone else in stopped time, and that doesn't seem regular or rational to me. If the stopped world begins playing with her head, we could have something interesting going. Either way, I'm not 100% on board yet, but I'm willing to give it a few more episodes to convince me. Pretty sure the knife scene was before the timestop, so she was actually planning to run that knife thru someone else while they were still moving normally.. Far from an unnatural impulse for a woman to kill to protect a child in the family. I'm liking it so far. They are confident in their CGI at least or they wouldn't show off insect closeups. XD A surprising amount of character details already (anyone else pick up on Juri's self-loathing and anger towards her mom? It's there, even if it is only one line.) especially for what I was expecting to be sci-fi/horror schlock. Should be fun to see how far down this rabbit hole goes. |
 |
| It's interesting. The fact that other people can also go into the stasis world threw me off - I don't know why lol. That's one fucking weird ass stone. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| That was such a clusterfuck of shit going on atm, but seems interesting overall, gonna give it some episodes before I decide what to do with it. That ending tho |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Subs timing is so off when they do double dialogues at once... |
 |
| Had no expectations whatsoever, but that was a pretty damn interesting start. |
