Don't like don't watch. |

I never said something about dont liking it. Dont tell me wat to watch |
|
| I mean, its interesting enough to keep watching but damn the directing in this can be boring at times. |
 |
| Seems even before her death Naoko's life was rather unhappy despite her surface attitude. Nagi's tactics sure were heavy handed but in her fight i guess its needed. Things though sure took a drastic turn pretty quickly. Boogiepop's arrival sure was timely though. Letting Naoko's BF avenge her death was pretty poetic. Its good that Nagi managed to survive as well. Well at least they managed to stop Manticore for the time being. Close shave for Kei though. |

| Ok episode. Interesting conclusion. Pacing, bland character designs and visuals make it hard to follow week by week. I feel like I will enjoy it better if I watch all at once, so I will put it on hold for now. |

Right, so it was that after all, thanks for the confirmation! _juno said: _MushiRock11_ said: Speaking of Saotome though, I wonder what happened to him. Did he get blasted through by that ray of light when Echoes transformed? Well, guess we’ll never know the exact details Bayonette said: So that explains what happened in the first episode, huh? Interesting. Then again, what happened to Masami Saotome? Did he went AWOL? Mr360AttAck said: Is saotome a human or the some evil creature He pushed Manticore away from Echoes' beam and was pulverized. There is really no indication he was "pulverized" (for some reason I felt I'd rather put it into brackets). Echoes transmitted himself into an information Rey. Would not he take Saotome, who happened to in the way of his ray, with him wherever he was heading? Basically Saotome is also gone and Manticore is left alone (from her point of view "taken away"). |

 |
| Okay so my opinion on this so far is that...the concept is super interesting and the overall mood is awesome, but I don't like the storytelling style and this first arc was pretty dull. I'm hoping that future episodes are a little more interesting and clear what's going on. Also, did that really cover the entire first novel? Holy crap, how long was it? I think I might just put this on hold and watch it when it's finished. I want to watch more but the weekly thing is just super unsatisfying with this style of storytelling. |
 |
| I don't even have the time to breathe and think on what the actual fuck is going on and I honestly don't care about the characters on any level but I'll still stick with it 'cause I don't like to leave my business unfinished. |
| Dang this episode was rather graphic LOL at the people saying the fight between Manticore and Echos was "bad animation." Yeah, the frame count was basically key frames only, which were blobby with no detail. BUT UH that was one of the best choreographed fights Ive seen in the last several months. To the people who are just beyond confused at this point: it helps if you watch all 3 of these episodes together. It seems the first arc is finished, so not a bad place to rewatch in one sitting. This series is NOT using linear storytelling by any means. It's kinda important to take note of all the minor events, including the ones that are only a 5 second cutscene. It's also important to learn basically all the characters names quickly, as characters often talk about important things and refer to other characters who are not present. |
~my list
| I thought Shiro was a wimp, I was really surprised by his comeback. Masami dying for manticore was actually romantic in a twisted way though. The only problem is that Kirima got to live, I don't like her even if it's only a start. an okay episode, |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| The music is great, animation not so much. The story is presented in an interesting manner, yet not great itself... I'll continue watching it and probably enjoy to a certain extent, but they definitely lowered the expectations quite a bit so far. |
| Nice episode. I really liked how everything tied into the previous. Turned out pretty |
| LOLZ! last part slowly connects! kewl! a lot of brutality and gore! slit to the throat and arrow to the head! But I think Nagi cheated death there! might be included on her plan originally... anyway still confusing...but again slowly connects... 4/5. |

At least there's someone out there feeling the pain of watching such a good and influential series get trampled on by the incompetent staff at Madhouse. Kouhei Kodono deserves better . Also recommend his podcast on Boogiepop and videos on light novels. Pretty informative. Since a lot of people on forums are having a really hard time understanding what the deal with this kind of story is |

| They are rushing things pretty badly :/ They didn't even try to establish Kei's or Shiro's character which made everything feel super random. They also completly skipped Kimura's arc and didn't even mention him. The episode was good in and for itself, but as an adaption this is really lacking. |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| It looks like they are good ideas but pretty bad execution , it feels very rushed , bad characterisation , the animation is not on the point /: i liked the conclusion of the arc tho and i'll continue to watch bcs boogiebop is interesting and the ost are top tier |
hah, I love these kinds of arguments on MAL  |

Since a lot of people on forums are having a really hard time understanding what the deal with this kind of story is I also watched Digibro's video, I am not agreeing, but nevertheless, him filling out some little details of ep 1-2 made it a lot easier to understand the anime. After he pointed some things out, it became easier to see it in the anime (like for example the student council members breaking the very rules they should be enforcing, without a flinch: dating in school, or in the student council meeting they are talking about that students shouldn't use their phones in school, meanwhile the main guy is texting on his phone, etc). I really like the show so far. I haven't read the source material and I doubt that I will, so I am not comparing it to that, rather it has just been so long since we had this kind of *intellectual* anime (where not everything is straightforward and you actually have to use your brain). Anime and light novel are vastly different, a literal transition from light novel to anime might not work too well. Endless dialogs and internal monolouge is not be the best way to make an anime, for many people it would make it boring. I feel like the anime is kind of made for common people, since it is more focused on action. And sure we could have a perfect adaptation from light novel to anime with every detail, but then it could cover like one book. This "rushed" way it can cover a lot more material. |

For real who does that guy think he is??? I'll have whatever kind of day I want good sir hmpgh |

| I really like this slow pace. I started to appreciate more this series. |
| Ok so.... I guess this anime is like small stories with boogiepops?? I wasnt expecting that it ll end in only 3 episodes! I guess i ll wait for the next episode and a new story will begin! I am very curious about the girl at the end .. another boogiepop maybe?? Who knows |
 |
| So now we're back to square one. They nearly killed the main cast already. So a new arc next week. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I nearly dropped until this episode came out |
| The ED song is awesome. When is full version released? |
| idk what's up with it but the story telling is weird and doesn't grab me, also i'm tired of seeing school setting |
| This was a pretty good episode all around, and it tied up this first arc pretty nicely |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| So the entire original show was just the first arc of this one? |
