@ideology1 Well, if it's popular enough, they can still release a fanbook or guide. I don't know, but maybe Utena or Madoka had this too.


Well. I am sure it's gonna a popular show, but let's hope they release a book or something along those lines!

I know I’m probably going to get hate for saying this and I don’t want to say anything bad about this series, but I’m just wondering why Japan is so in love with anime featuring only females or males? I mean what’s wrong with having some male character in shows like this, and vice versa? I just don’t get it.

Because these shows are mostly geared towards the opposite sex audience who wants to watch it as a pure fan service and perceive the characters as their waifu and don't want be NTR-ed by other men. Well, or ship them to each other. This is common to the point that otaku even debated for a long time whether it was okay to write LN about yuri, as the genre's typical first-person storytelling made readers feel involved and thus violate the "ideal female world". A significant portion of the otaku would rather be a bodyless observer of relationships between men or women than be involved as an avatar of the audience. Bloom into you and Beelzebub-sama even had a light satire on that kind of thinking.

You also shouldn't forget about the existence of "platonic yuri", where even if girls are not meant to be lovers, involving a man in a plot will still be perceived by a part of the audience as "breaking the strong emotional bonds of friendship between girls". This is called a" man climbing between yuri ". So, as a result, we get a one-gender cast with unnatural, but strict restrictions on the characters of the opposite sex.

It breaks my heart so much it really does seem like Koito was sexually abused on top of everything else, because of that creepy frame where the teacher walks behind her, and of course because the whole episode is about the teacher abuse. Also girls stripping her to bully is a form of sexual abuse too... feels so heavy on my soul damn.
I think Ai said that she doesn't hate that teacher because she hates and blames herself, and Neiru and the chilling dudes voiced that too. It's not weird because when abuse happens you think you hate and blame an abuser but in reality you fiercely hate yourself for allowing the abuse to happen, and healing comes with realization that it wasn't your fault.

i liked this episode, almost as much as the first. i feel like, in a good way, it’s creepy how light the music and visuals are as compared to the dark story that we can see unfolding in the show. i saw a few people say this already, and i too am curious to see if this becomes similar to the dark theme in madoka magica. the fight scenes are pretty good, apart from some cringy dialogue. there is some confusing inconsistency with the whole injury situation, but i’m going to guess that because it was mostly clarified in the first episode, and because of the scene where ai is in the hospital, we’re just supposed to assume that the injuries are still sustained outside of the other world (?). so far, there’s still much to be explained and learned about the context, characters, and purpose of the story, but i feel like the ambiguity also adds to the appeal of the show as well. i’m interested in the significance of koito and ai’s relationship, because i can already sense some homoerotic subtext. overall just really excited for future episodes and the introduction of more characters :)

In fact it is totally Madoka Magica with cute girls... who are not "Magical".


Let me guess, we have the MC girl.

We have the emotionless girl.

Now they will introduce the hot temper edgy talkative girl?

Basically everything that this anime did was very good, biggest surprise of the season. However, I still can't say how good it is, because it's an anime with a lot of figurative messages, and a partially abstract narrative.

Does anybody know the name of the soundtrack that was played during the end of episode 2? it was when Ai was talking with Neiru towards the end of the episode, when they were on the roof. I just like the music that was played during that scene so I hope someone can tell me the name of the song. Thanks.

Ai after previous episode tried to change herself to making as many friends as possible. Starting With Neiru, a Mysterious Girls that want to rescue her sister or that what I know from this episode. But, hey in the end Ai and Neiru be a friend. Ai was really impressive this episode.

On the other hand, We meet another person on cracked egg called Minami. For me is almost like Ai on previous episode, with her problem revolve around her Abusive Relationship experience with her gymnastic teacher, Minami affected by her in beginning but can overcome it in the end. I really proud of Ai because her spirit and effort to protect Minami.

The episode is almost following based around same scene as Kurumi from previous episode, Not that a bad thing to do just kinda expecting some Great Storytelling and Characterization from this anime. Hope future episode not making too much Repetitive Scene around it and can make some new scene sequence.

Btw, The OP was Amazing for me because Rare that I see anime that Calm and Fascinating to watch. The ED that Energetic is Great but not as Much as The OP.

I wonder is the teacher at School is harassing Koito and after that having bullied because misunderstand the teacher have with Koito. If that happens, no wonder Koito think and do Suicide in the end.
But, I honestly still Confuse with Story. Like I don't know if all people that on Cracked was real or not, what is Acca and Ura Acca interests in all of this, etc.
Hope later can give more hint of what is situation they dealt with.

also hope this show doesnt go down the yuri route. it feels like at this point every new anime with an all girls cast have yuri for no reason. show doesnt need it.

perfect example of an all girls cast show with no yuri would be a place futher than the universe. AMAZING and didnt need cheasp yuri tactics

I wonder if these traumas the girls are facing represent something between Ai and Kaito and what they went through?. in the dream "Minami" is abused by her teacher (a special kind of attention) sounds kind of similar to what the girls were saying about Kaito. And from Ai's reaction when the teacher visited her it seems he had something to do with what happened to Kaito. "do you hate me that much".

still not sure if Neiru is real or if she's also part of a dream.

That was incredible. The animation was yet again great, especially that fight scene. They did tone down the quality of the backgrounds a little, but they were still beautiful. The music was also very well done, it felt like an improvement. And the plot is delving into some very deep places. I feel like we’re witnessing the beginning of a masterpiece.

This anime is fantastic! It make us really sad and horrified for the reality those girls have lived (bullying is indeed this dangerous and cruel) at one moment, then, you're hopeful for them to have better days.
At the same time, I want to know more of their histories, even if I'm scared.

This is just my second episode but I think teacher was just not paying attention to bullying stuff and did "nothing" to prevent this from happening.

How many eggs before they can bring back the life of Koito and Neiru's sister :(

This episode is generally inferior to the first, but the setting and direction are clearer.

The story in this episode gives me a feeling like only setting a theme to make an episode. Some twists and turns are slightly stiff. The transition between the different scenes is missing, which is very abrupt. It always feels like many wonderful pieces are forced together.

In addition, this episode said too much. Koito's past events, Minami's personal experience, and Neiru's past, are told a little. This is less of a problem. The problem is that the three people's experiences do not look like a type at all, stuffing them into one episode looks very conflicting.

However, there are still many good points, including the interaction between Ai and Neiru, as well as the plot of memories about Koito. The animation production level is still very high, and the slow-paced OP sounds very good too!

Overall the production quality is OK, but not as good as EP 1, but we can still watch the next episode.

There's a guess here. The injuries sustained in the dream world will come back to reality, so if you die in the dream world, you will also die in reality, then there will be a new egg, and then a new girl will go to the dream world. The girl in the egg in EP 1 was so familiar with the dream world, maybe she used to be an egg breaker.

Another quite bizarre, but charming nevertheless episode of this quite fresh anime.

Coach's "nightmare form" (if it can be called like that) looked interesting. The design was quite original. I also liked how the fighting scene was animated, I mean it was smoth and dynamic.

I don't think I appreciate how Ai is suddenly the most socialable being in the entire universe. Pick a lane Ai. It really seems like Ai just saw Neiru, got turned on, and suddenly decided life was worth living. I'm not a fan of this direction, but let's see what happens.

Also, I don't know what I was expecting, but that was a really underwhelming opening.

Man, this anime is way more ridiculous than I thought it was going to be. I was expecting something a lot more subtle, down to earth... instead we got this crazy demon lady shooting people with tit goo.

I absolutely love the premise of this story of dealing with people's different traumas as 'Wonder Killers' and how they relate to Ai's, but this episode seems to be taking the show in a more cutesy/light mood despite the dark premise which made this episode feel pretty disjointed in what it was trying to achieve.

This show has really good potential if it can match the atmosphere with it's premise so I hope to see it improve beyond what was a mid episode.

not my jam. don't really care for the MC and there's nothing else to the story so far, so there's nothing to interest me

transfer girl moves in, befriends the mc, and is bullied at school. and the mc just watches her only friend get bullied and does nothing. even to the point where she was supposed to record the bullying but was too scared and didn't get anything? but the transfer girl is forgiving and says it's ok, but inside she wants to kill herself (and eventually does)

so now mc wants to crack open a bunch of eggs and then save the people inside because...it'll bring back her dead friend? bizarre

hope the rest of you like it (it obviously has a high rating), but i'm out

There's a difference between being a strict coach and a shitty person using 'tough love', what makes this even more sad was Minami blaming herself. Slight suggestions there on Koito possibly having had an illicit relation with the teacher. In my eyes Koito seemed to be quite tough with how she shrug the bullying off compared to Ai so I'm curious to what the turning point was before committing suicide.

So we're something like mahou shoujo?.. Reminds of Madoka in a way.. Of course shows are different, but still..
I like that we also faced this fear psychologically.. Well, that maybe Minami wanted to be just loved in the end.. As well as internalized all the blaming - thought that indeed the problem is in herself, that she doesn't try enough.. As well as teacher abused her power position.. Power harassment is good words that were used for this situation.. I hope we'll touch problems later like that as well.. Not only fight, but also look at situation in particular.. But will see.. Also I have some feeling that some shit can happen, like any character can die at any time, I imagine..

So I assume they're gonna be showing us just fractions of what happened to Koito each episode and it will all piece together in the end? Also one thing I noticed that bugged me is how Minami didn't seem to know what was going on at all, yet in the first episode Kurumi knew exactly what was going on. How did Kurumi know but Minami didn't? I'd assume that each girl who emerges from the eggs would have the same amount of knowledge on the situation, but I guess not.

Also, not really a fan of the opening. It feels more like an ending song, same with the actual ending song. The ending song feels more like it should be an opening, but not an opening for this anime cause I really don't think it suits this anime based on the first two episodes.
