| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mm, I got some mixed feelings about the OP song. Might have to get used to it. That little AI girl Aria is cute. I'm still rather confused on the story but is easy to get into the mood now with the way events are developing. The virtual reality stuff is still pretty evident. The way we see faces blurre out and the moving figures made this episode somewhat thrilling. I wish I can get more invested into the characters though as that feels lacking at the moment. |

| Everything still looks flashy but shallow. Still not sure if I'll stick around for this series, but it's worth a few more episodes to decide |
| So it's that idol that is making those people go crazy. Aria is cute, but her voice is really annoying. It's not just him that can see those blurry faces. Still a bit confused. |
 |
| What is even going on. |

| This anime is so f*cking good.. Definitely i'll give this a higher score this ep..Can't wait for next ep |
 |
| They're taking a lot of time for things, I'm afraid they can not do a good job with only 12 episodes |
 |
| Pretty interesting. This series definitely has some interesting and unique themes to it, whether it's the psychological direction style or the mystery of the characters. I think this series might not turn into a mess after all. 4/5 The end interested me. |
  |
| Oh, interesting episode. It feels very clearly like a game adaptation (the cutesy floating guide, world boundaries, the main team against all the enemy ai) and this episode just laid out the mechanics and how the world works. It feels a little formulaic but the atmosphere is working to make me interested in the setting. I hope the characters are given the time to form, right now that's where the show's lacking. |
 |
| Really good episode. we learned some stuff about the world and it was interesting that were 2 kind of people other than our are main group. cant w8 for the next episode. Also the ending and that "border of the world" thing brought back memories of "The Thirteenth Floor" 1999  (worth checking out of course) |
| I'm kinda lost. Hope I will get things as the story progresses. |

| I'm really confused about what's going on but whatever... not a bad episode. |
| Had my misgivings about the first episode, but this really got amazing this week. |
| Neither them are gone mad, or others... whole world is mad. :3 |
"A half moon, it has a dark half and a bright half, just like me…", Yuno Gasai |
| Hmmm, so MC, "you're not my mom" girl, male character C, and Busty have discovered the boundary of the Matrix, meanwhile braid girl and glasses food critic are still clueless but invariably bound to be drawn into it all... Overall a pretty tense episode, with a nice moment of levity in the introduction of chibi avatar girl (who turns out to be "help me" girl from last episode). I'm still really interested to see where this goes, and a bit more confident that it won't descend into awfulness :o I hope... |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| I think the characters that see. The money sera have problems of their own. So they got sucked into a virtual reality that would give them what they desired. The girl when she said she was searching for her mom. After being sucked in, the world gave her a mom. So now someone broke that world and is causing chaos so the characters are realizing they are not in the real world they are in the world created by the idol. |
| Hmm that was quite the opening. Catchy too. So those without powers are not noticed by the enemy then. Hmm to think that Shougo's partner was a doll though. But those two sure have an interesting relationship. Tomoe's explanation sure wasn't helpful to Suzuna. Maybe the way they see things now are different. So U's song is what's causing the people to transform then. An interesting episode that introduced more of the plot while also showing that besides the mc there are other survivors that managed to escape from the initial attack. The final scene though was really something. This world really has gone mad huh. Love the ending theme though. |

| Oh, so all that pretentious BS from last episode was for... what exactly? When the story is just about some girl creating a world and controlling people through music and some blokes don't hear whatever the fk part of the music controls them :| Also, I wish the series would make up its bloody mind if it wants to be a thoughtful, 'psychological' anime or if it wants to be a simplistic action anime, rather than what it's doing atm, which is trying to be both and not pulling off either. ._- |
dunkan85 said: Oh, so all that pretentious BS from last episode was for... what exactly? Because everything that the protagonist mentions is connected to the plot, happiness is the reason why he never saw the truth and this is what he himself answers in that same episode. Everything else will make sense when the plot progresses |
|
| Solid second episode. My expectations about this series has grown slightly. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| It would be better without this babbling chibi, she's the reason I can't take it seriously. But the overall concept is not bad, the show might get more interesting later on but I'm not sure if I have patience for this. |

Also, since it's an adaptation of a JRPG game, it's going to have elements of heavy dialogue driven moments, and also lots of action. It's inevitably a mixture of both. |

| This series has surprisingly good animation, especially for how detailed most of these character designs are, I was expecting much worse. Visuals are also quite stylish & engaging. The insert songs used are also quite nice, but you can tell by the way they are implemented that this is a video game adaptation lol. I still have no idea wtf is going on with this story, but it definitely has my attention with just how out-there it is. I just wished the main character wasn't so god damn dense and annoying for continually ignoring the only other character that can sympathize with his situation. You'd think that if a person saved your helpless a$$ two times in a row already, you could at least try to communicate with them, but nah, just run away without saying a word... Let's just hope this series starts explaining stuff soon instead of raising more questions (because there are A LOT of 'em). |
 "Anime is trash and so am I." |
| i'm interested in seeing this i feel like it could turn out good but i'm constantly wanting them to explain what the hell is going on knowing that won't happen for a while , at least we know it is dealing with some form of cognition on what seemed to be a made up world? or is a real world were persona style the main characters are the only ones seeing the other side. hoping the characters are good big draw of these games are the main cast. |
 |
| Hmmm... omoshiroi. Normally I don't have much hope for game adaptation, but from the start of episode one till now it's just been getting better. |
| Between this and Persona 5, Caligula has been the better adaptation so far, imo. I haven't played either game, so I say this as someone that's strictly anime-only. The scores on these shows need to be reversed. |
 |
| lmao that part where the MC runs away screaming had me laughing so hard |
| Whilst the series isn't great, I'm surprisingly liking this show so far and this episode was solid. I still am confused with many things but atleast, I wasn't as lost as last week. Nice OP with some really good visuals. |
| GODZILLA'S APPROACHING THE GENERATOR! This heavily reminds me of Persona 1 where a mind is used to make "the perfect world", and the few who are aware of the disturbance awaken their powers and fight against it. The world is mad...but maybe it's just mu or the person using mu who just wants to create that world. Hmm... Aria's power, body, memory, and everything else floated off? Is this going to involve getting those traits back to Aria? So the psychological statement here was about anxiety, irritation, and negative emotions spreading to others. Wait...that message that Shougo received from Narukonne about the commotion in the ceremony. So those who are aware of it will feel reassured that they weren't alone in seeing the Digiheads, but it doesn't make it any less disturbing... So we have our 6 members. Shougo's the nuke gunner, Narukonne seems to be the Intel support, a guy who likes being a hero accompanied by some scaredy cat, a rather melancholic young lady looking for her mother, and our psychological MC Ritsu. If our team is outside the range of Mobius, are they safe? I'm definitely looking forward to see what happens when the party comes together and we get the gist of what's happening. Next episode seems to be about existentialism. "Why do we live? The further we pursue the meaning of life, the more confused we become." Hehe, that describes this anime so far. The more answers that we get, the more questions that we start asking. I'm going to assume that the next episode will focus on the various character backgrounds. |
 |
| Things have gotten a bit more interesting. I'll see what else it's got to offer. |
| Two episodes in and I'm still confused as fuck. So, they're living in like a Truman Show Island that they can't leave it? Hahaha. And it's virtual or some shit. The only good thing I liked here was the OP. It was the shit. 3/5. P.S. I love Shogo, though. Haha. |

| There is no progress to be found whatsoever. |
Suddenly, someone slaps you with a brick wall. |
| Opening visuals were alright. Episode felt too draggy though, could have probably put like half of this episode into the previous. I could never take Shougo's huge revolver seriously, and still can't. |
| I hate when in anime the questions are answered with more questions..so far I am baffled as to what is going on |
 |
| It was ok, interesting enough. But this is sure borderline drop. Character design and art style, nothing stand out. |

Dropped Judging from the experience the MC had afterwards, it is hard for anyone to believe a world that he lived for one year and full of happiness is a fake one. For example, when he left Shogo for the second time, he was trying to deceive himself by not saying the latter part of the last sentence in this episode. you sure missed the point of my comment |

If you don't get it, you don't get it. In terms of Shogo's character and the actual things that happen, the way this is portrayed actually makes sense. Shogo isn't the type to know how to explain things, he's legit the most pathetic character, despite being shown to be a badass. As pathetic as he is, he wouldn't even know where to begin to describe anything that's happening. there are better ways to tell someone that he don't know how to explain what's happening, just exactly what that fairy said |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Shogo is the most pathetic of the program and is the reason why what will happen in the next episode will happen. |
