| Basically the same at the start, it was terrible. |
| 3/10 I am a completionist but each episode increasingly made me want to end it all |

| An average anime though AOTS for sure, Heavenly Delusion was mediocre while Insomnia is trash, Mappa could had done better in the production department but is not big deal for me, it was a decent watch tbh, I will watch 2nd season for sure. |
| Alright, maybe it is because I've been watching anime for decades but why is the animation critisism so vicious? Like, aren't we supposed to not want the animators to work themselves to death? "Not even decent" What the hell? This is nowhere near bad animation, if you want to talk about bar, then watch stuff like the Way of the Househusband or direct to vhs Disney sequels or something. Jeez, this is harsh. |
 |
| 5/10 has potential, but everything about it just felt wonky and half baked. Hope the second season kills off more characters |
 |
| High 6/low 7, alright, enjoyable, though kind of bland despite its setting which would argue otherwise. Thought the strongest part of the season was actually the first couple episodes BEFORE they went to the island. Probably better experienced as a binge-watch rather than waiting a week in between episodes. Recommendable enough, but nothing amazing, imHo |

| What I find hilarious is that this show has an 8.2 and yet all 3 reviews on the page are at best mixed, while almost all the comments here are, again, at best mixed. I am not done with it, I am watching the dub, but I am giving this either a 7 or an 8 depending on how the season ends and will be watching S2. I do admit that the "not ki but basically ki" magic bullshit stuff is really stupid and has dampened stuff for me, but I do find the anime fascinating and do enjoy the themes for the most part. The sexism is expected, and actually way toned down vs historical Edo TBH, I do enjoy the fanservice, but wish we had nipples, I do find the characters interesting, as each group of survivors have their own dynamic and take from a different type of show. You have the by the rules samurai who has to deal with sexism and the heartless killing machine who isn't heartless after all. Then you have the pair of brothers that are really reminiscent of an old school battle shonen. The blond guy actually reminds me a ton of Ranma in a way, with how fast he adapts and his anything goes style, but with that more rough and tough vibe of a typical rival character. The kunochi and the scholar samurai are a clash of the sexy girl and the nerd that you have in a few anime lately, and his insight into these things is very relatable as someone who is a scholar and has a father who is a religious scholar. The innocent girl and the blind man is very much wolf and cub. The samurai and medical guy are very samurai movie with that guy being so very much based off of Kurasawa. Meanwhile the immortal flower people jerks are an easy villain group to hate and as a fan of gender bender, I am pleased with the sex changing so often. Hate their guts though. Yeah really my biggest gripe is the whole magic bullshit stuff and the typical shonen limitless stamina except not except yes thing which is in like almost all shonen fights. |

dior said: I trust you, but I didn't meant to single out fights or fighting in general, not even the animation rly, is just... like "the vibe" which the anime started with. You know? that sense of dread they face for being in an unknown island/world where everything is unexplained and everything its out to kill cold blood no moment to rest, the dangers, etc. Like once they google "how to use tao effectively" and now its a battle royal of punches all that's left is they hit harder than the enemy and the story is settled... lrdalucard said: this changes during the next arc onwards. they flesh out a power scaling system and explain tao more properly, it essentially turns into pokemon. the anime covered like 1/4th of the manga. theres some great characters like Jikka and Shugen that turns this shit all the way up.. sadly if the animation stays like this, none of it will matter. Was nice, just wish it didn't became a Dragon Ball halfway through. But still a good series. point is the story iis just getting fleshed out ...and that vibe kinda goes *puff*. (Just hope they don't start flying and throwing hadokens/Kamehameha's too...) Albeit they at least made it interesting by showing that maybe the girl he though was his wife, might actually not exist all, and makes me look forward to the 2nd season. |

| The anime ended abruptly without any conclusion like it was cut in half. I miss 24 episodes shows. It's almost not worth rating now. I'll wait for the second season to get a good final opinion on the show. I'd say between a 6 and a 7 out of 10 for now. It was fun watching but nothing really special. |
 |
| I really liked this one. It had everything I like about an anime title. Super gritty and reminded me of a lot of 90's anime. The pacing seemed really organic and the plot enthralling. |
| Always go in with little to no expectations when exploring Anime, you never know what you might be missing. |
| first half was 6 always felt like i was watching a different show than others once it became less of a murderfest and the mystery of the island starting to reveal it's self it got more interesting by the end even if it had a lot of shounen moments of people explain their powers and characters getting backstories only in their final moments...like a lot like demon slayer levels of a lot it went to a 7 Mappa did not treat this as their love child with the animation compared to the quality of JJK /chainsawman when you look at the op vs the show lol wasn't to say it was bad looking just not great a lot of the time i am interested still since again it got better hopefully the writing improves because the best part is just how strange everything looks |
 |
| Had really high expectations for it since people said its the one of the "dark trio?", along with CSM and JJK. But was kinda underwhelmed by it. Fights were also not that amazing, they were ok. Tao is kinda eh, most of the characters don't seem interesting to me, except for a little of Gabimaru I guess. The speculation/reveal at the last episode leaves something interesting to be seen in next season, probably a 7 or 8. |
| mixed feelings... it was so badly done (except for a couple of first episodes); yet it was insanely interesting conceptually. and music, that music!.. somehow, the pleasure i got was similar to the "made in abyss" experience. i'm EAGER for a new season~ |
