Haven't play the DS game but I quite like the animation which makes me nostalgic to 2007. Plotwise however felt rushed, feeling more like a recap rather than a first episode with a lot of characters besides Neku introduced and things having progressed to day 3 of 7 already

As a big fan of the original game I enjoyed this. Even if it was clearly rushed.

The soundtrack was as cool as I remember and the action was at least entertaining to watch.

this was average

the plot itself seems pretty interesting. the characters, however, do not. and it felt a little disjointed, like there was something i was "missing" the whole episode. like maybe i zoned out for a minute and missed an important fact? idk

for example, at the end, that headphone kid knew those music artists were reapers. but literally 5 minutes earlier he had no clue wtf a reaper was. he had no clue who he was. he had no clue what was happening at all...

5/10 first episode

only character i liked was that one dude that swooped in and explained some of the rules before dipping again

Holy fuck the pacing is so goddamn horrendous but I do like how they're being faithful with the representation.

A boy wakes up.
2 pins in his hands.
People are walking through him.
He avoided Truck-kun.
Dat message. Dat timer.
A guy disappeared.
Monsters?
They killed him.
A girl saved him. She's cute.


It's a Wonderful First Episode (Get it? The series is titled It's a Wonderful World.). I'm only watching this as a refresher for my Shin preparation. It was an ok start for what it is. They trying hard to hide Shiki's pantsu. It hurt not hearing FuruKan in this episode. TsudaKen did a fine job. Nabatame voiced Raimu and Konishi in the original game. Raimu vwas voiced by Taketatsu in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance in 2012. The staff decided to keep Taketatsu as Raimu while Nabatame voices Konishi. As for the OP music, I'd like to thank the folks from last year involved for sharing the pre-air episode that had ALI's opening insert song "Teenage City Riot" during the 1st episode so I could download it for this watch. I love Calling, but TCR fit so much better obviously. I had to play the scene with TCR first before I continued watching with Calling to compare. Kahadio altered history- his bands history- with that scam. smh

If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).
