| The OP music was interesting. It was kinda an 80s funk track; and then in the first half there was a 15second piece (between the hourglass turning over, to the fat cat winking) that was ripped straight from that one well known disco/funk song from the 70s/80s (i cant think of the name for the life of me). And then the visuals for the OP was the most trippy thing Ive seen since Concrete Revolutio's 1st ED. |
~my list
| went in without knowing anything was interesting kinda all over the place at spots and still left pretty confused but i'll see how it turns out as the season progresses OP is lit tho ,like the ED but once it started i instantly realized why i didn't like the char designs lol it's Umetsu Yasuomi i'm simply not a fan of them though it's cool how almost 20 years later it still looks the same as his older work,also it felt like a lot of his other EDs hes done so it was odd with the amount of fanservice in it for this show at least |
 |
| That OP was so damn good! Those two villain guys were drawn so well. They just oozed evil intentions. I got so many goosebumps when they first showed up. |
 |
| Well, this show has definitely been an interesting experience. The first good surprise is the OP, it is an explosion of colors a weirdness and the song make it seem like it was an old western mystery show. So far, the mystery part of the show has been presented in a good way, there are a lot of question left it the air with the information the show has given us so far, and I hope they manage to give us some satisfactory explanations. The ending... oh boy, at first I fell kinda weird with the amount of fanservice it presents, but then I give it a thought and it´s actually nice and well though, especially the static images, which are common in EDs, but then it´s revealed that they are actually in "stasis", pretty clever IMO. The show has definitely won itself a chance, I will follow it with high expectations. |
| I'm shocked. Finally, a serious anime this season lol Cool OP. This was a good first episode. Might be a decent sci-fi anime for the season. |
| Ahh that damn cliffhanger! I want to know what Herald is going to do. And I agree with the others, it does remind me of an ajin.

Haha, I loved that part because I'm sure most of us would have been wondering the same thing. Then for the grandfather to just say, "How am I suppose to know?" made me laugh. |

NG_Calen said: I like what's going on, very intriguing. I think it's good enough for a three episode test. I didn't care for the series ED though, not really the song, but the random nudity that really clashed with the tone set up by the first episode. My thoughts exactly! I'll be skipping the ED from now on if I stick around, but the song was pretty good |

| I think that was ok. Some things interested me, but the pacing did not please me and the animation as a whole is pretty strange. I loved this OP, my favorite of the season for now. I have the feeling that this anime will join to my "bad/mediocre anime-good OP" list. |
| well a good start..many questions and queries are out there |
 |
| Hadn't planned on picking this one up, but on a snowed in night with nothing left in the new pile I figured "what the hell, right?" Glad I did. I want to see where this one goes. |

thereIwasnt said: deadman80 said: 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. We're thinking of two different scenes. You're thinking of the one where she first grabs the knife and is about to go charging out the door. I'm thinking of the post-timestop scene where they're standing in the room with the hostages and hostage takers. Juri is about to kill one of the gang members, and one of the supernatural things begins to phase into existence before the grandfather warns her off. While I can see her willing to charge out and stab people in the heat of the moment, Juri willing to start gutting people during the time stop is comparatively cold-blooded. She doesn't have a knife at that point tho.. Dad grabbed it when he stopped her from her suicide charge earlier. Could see her grab a nearby weapon and start poking holes in bad guys, but she was unarmed when entering the hideout. In my personal experience, it would fall within the range of normal for a woman to go stabby over "her" child. A cold blooded woman would be the type who could stop herself and think things over calmly and logically. |

| neat episode, definitely gonna try and keep up with this series. very stylish |
| Disappointed. I did not want to see supernatural. They should put the label "supernatural" in this title. |
| Yes, the idea to stop the time is interesting, although this monster that appeared to the end, was cool too!!! |
| It doesn't seems to be pretentious and hyper edgy like most 'mature' series, so I'm in. At least for now. OP is terrible. 2nd time in my life I will be skipping OP. |

| This episode actually surprised me in a positive way. This looks so intriguing right now and I'm hyped for the next episode but afraid it might not turn out as good as I expect it. Only time will tell, but the MC and the story have quite the potential so far. |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| Promising start. Like the premise and execution. The OP was pretty good too. |

| Oooh, this was very interesting! An exciting start. Hope they manage to save the kiddo next ep. |

| this is like some C-tier movie material right here dropped |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| This is a masterpiece compared to Overlord's shit start. Definitely a keeper. |
| My old Japan blog which I'm never going to finish: https://ramenshojo.wordpress.com/2016/08/07/day-6-nakano-broadway-harmonica-street-zauo-restaurant/ |
| Finally we are might get a real psychological mystery anime. Been so long since a good one. Great fast-paced first episode. |
 |
| ehhhhh, i'm a lil' on the fence on this one. i'd rate this first episode a strong 6 to a light 7 (i've awarded it a 7 for now, though). the animation quality i can tell just isn't going to be good, but i'll stick with it if the plot holds strong. my problem is i worry that it won't, though. i'm anticipating another juuni taisen where it all falls to shit very quickly lol. i'm willing to give another 1-2 episodes a try though before i write it off. |
| I'm interested for now lets see where this is going |
| The OP and End are so misleading, i wonder if they will take this series in that direction, the manga doesn't even has a hint of any of that. I am definitively watching tho, with no one translating the manga this is pretty much it. |
DatRandomDude said: 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) I aint even trying to see that bullshit :D |
| Quite a strange show. The first part of the episode seems to be such a slice of life with the transition story to science fiction, and then we get a lot of action without any exposition and fanservice ending with light yuri vibrations. I'm a little disappointed, but I still have a desire to watched this title in the future. |

| Not bad. I want to see where is it going. Juri and her family seemed more annoyed than worried about the kidnapping. It was a bit weird, lol. |
 |
| Went in with no knowledge or expectations, loved it to pieces. The OP is an early strong contendor for OP of the year for me no question, what an awesome intro. |
| chill out |
| Looks like a good-old-fashioned thriller so far. I like that the Yukawa family is depicted warts and all, and the stasis could be spooky enough to carry the series. The ending animation with all those fanservice shots feels a bit awkward. In this very episode Gramps talked about people being "lead astray" in the stasis, specifically mentioning the predatory kind of voyeurism, and then we get all those "oops I didn't notice you were looking" shots in the ED. Those drawings wouldn't be necessarily all that weird by themselves, and sexual themes are very common in thrillers; it's just the context that makes it odd. It could be intentional, but it still feels goofy. Maybe it'll make more sense once we meet the cat themed woman? |
