directing has to get better if this wants to be a quality mystery. first episode was decent but due to the bad directing it was a bit incoherent. OST is dope though

3/5

we learned a few things:
1. the glasses guy is a bad guy
2. the dreads guy used to be a smoker but quit. he employed the two young dudes.
3. one or both of the young dudes has the ability to invade peoples' minds.
4. this show will be about the young dudes and how they solve mysteries and such most likely.

in my experience with mystery anime and manga, he most likely hasn't even been introduced yet for this type of story... I doubt the glasses guy will be the worst out here

I really liked when they missed up with the guy head at the end but they didn't show it they just show him acting extra friendly with them and he was back to smocking

i am not gonna lie if i say this anime has rather a specific vibe to it. dropping it would have been my to-go choice if only i didn't watch it with a friend. for anyone trying this out and who's not familiar at all with how the criminal world rolls, or at least some basic psycho stuff such as schizophrenia (cause that's where i believe they got the hallucinations idea from, but i could be wrong, only a hunch)- try to pay more attention to the ins and outs. i had to rewatch the ending 3 times and ask my mate for extra explanation to have all the details fully comprehended. could also be that i am a grasshopper and am slow with this genre.
at the end (after a moment of self-satisfaction for figuring it all out) im not disappointed at all and there is real potential for this show to become a hit.

that's what i personally had to rewatch 3 times to grasp lol
the bar scene is actually happening, they brainwashed the dude altogether, making him forget about the suicide (car accident of Yokota) and his own hallucinations (aka planning to go to Bali yada yada). those 2 guys that supposedly were his co-workers at his bar, end up as simple renters of that flat above. they played with words really well, but the ending is real.
they erased his memories, fully.

I really liked this first episode, it has potential, let's see how it develops. I don't think it was that confused, one just have to pay a bit attention to the details and give it some time. I suppose as the series progresses the plot will end up clearing up.

The OP is superb and the ED was good too.

Looking forward to the next episode.

Ppl praise mediocre shounen on here all the time and some of the most innovative shows get mad hate on here. I'm not surprised. People want shows to hold their hand like this ain't a mystery/psychological show. *Some people are so dense, like I didn't understand every single thing either but I got the concept. Mystery shows are supposed to make you ask alot of questions, psychological shows are supposed to be a mindfuck. Ppl are basically complaining about the genre.

I can't help but compare this to ID invader which was also sort of confusing (tbh this show made more sense to me) but much less creative by far yet its being praised as the most original anime of the season when this gem exists. Even Pet's art style is way more original. ID Invander has an interesting psych genre to it too but its riddled with tropey characters and plot devices, plus the faces are bland and typical for anime. Pet has such a sharp and beautiful animation and the characters actually have distinctive features, it's so refreshing to watch.

Pet has characters who aren't nearly as predictable and tropey. The whole thing really does feel like a new world, the characters aren't so black and white from the jump. ID feeds ideas to the audience while Pet forces you to think on your own. It's kind of hilarious that people like the easily digestible psychological mystery and not the one that truly feels like its genre (Pet).

Plus we know dudes on here hate anything that they see as gay cause this site is homophobic too. Honestly that's sad because ppl miss out on really good shows and judge them unfairly because they're close-minded dickheads.


Can't agree more with your points!

Hmm, I had to move my mouse cursor to see how many minutes of the episode are left because it felt dragged on just a little bit too long...

There seems to be a lot to be unpacked, so I'll keep watching to see how it's gonna unfold.

The visual highlights for me are the mindf**kin' images & illusions :)

This was weird but I'm interested. In the middle of all the isekai, comedies, and cuteness contrasting with all the gore it's nice to see something different. I miss mindfuck Anime.

Definitely not a show I can watch at work tho with scenes like the licking popping up randomly lol

From this first episode, I can tell this is going to be a really “different” series. After they found out that homeboy with the dreads knows everything, I HONESTLY COULD NOT TELL WHAT WAS REAL AND WHAT WASN’T I WAS GETTING SO MAD ILL TELL YA LMAOOOOOO!

yo where can i watch this? or is this only on amazon prime

I watch this (as well as all my other anime...) on Animetake. Its a really good site to watch anime, the only downside is, if you a dub person (such as I) then they don’t have much dubbed on there but other than that, its pretty good!

It was a bit funny when I realize that the kid at the beginning is the blond tracksuit yakuza.

I could understand everything but I don't like the way they executed it. Maybe its the direction.

At the beginning when the first 2-3 episodes came out, I rewatched the first episode for so many times(probably 5 or even more), and now to think about it, where the anime got so far, the first episode is just like a piece of cake, so easy to understand now

Anime about mind control, felt kind of trippy not as much as Paprika but definitely some mindfuckery going on

Feeling bad for dreadlock guy, being betrayed like that, losing his friend, and the worst part, not even remembering what is really going on...still glad they didn't kill him or made him go as crazy to the point where he spents the rest of his life in an mental institute

I liked the beginning it didn’t great job of grabbing your attention. The show also doesn’t explain much in the beginning which can turn fans away. I liked that they had a Jamaican character in the show but besides that the characters didn’t stand out that much. The OP was not my cup of tea with high pitch whispering. I would need to watch more to understand it all.

A bland diet for dogs is easily digestible and quickly as well. When an owner sees the sign of vomiting, diarrhoea etc.
