It's the epilogue that they adapted first for some reason. Wait until the anime ends and then watch.

@Merve2Love Yeah it's canon - It's also the literal epilogue of the series that they adapted first for some dumb reason. Hence "Wait until the anime ends, then watch".

@Merve2Love Considering it's adapting chapters so close to the ending and the movie didn't include this (according to jp audience that saw the movie), it's probably not the author or series director intention to watch it first.
It may be a distribution blunder that caused it to be released before the rest of the season.
Anyway, I also skipped it and I'll probably watch it last.

Well just fuck it. Didn't have any expectations from this series and the first ep was worse than average. So whatever happens don't give a shit

So is the actual series any better? The Ep. 0 did everything wrong for an opening so after finishing it I immediately dropped the show despite having been kind of excited about it earlier. That has happened only few times in like 15 years I've watched anime...

@Condition_Chaos Idk how to say it but episode 1 works as an introduction while episode 0 does not work, for so many reasons

or you could, I don't know, read the manga?
What's this new thing about considering an adaptation that isn't 100% faithful as bad? Why do you keep watching if you don't trust the director?
What a sad way to approach art.

@Fearfesse It isn't unfaithfully adaptation, in fact it is extremely faithful, especially in episode 0. But it's the equivalent of watching the first half of end of evangelion before you start evangelion proper.

It's not even like this in the movie version which makes it even more confusing why they did it like this

Of course, it's odd being presented with many of the later story elements at the beginning of the series, but I don't think we can really judge the way episode 0 was handeled just yet, as we do not know what direction the anime adaptation will take. Reportedly, it could be an original ending that takes a different direction from the manga.

For now, I think we should trust the staff that the way the story has been restructured will make sense once we see the complete thing.
Let them cook.

@OurBoySouichi An anime director doesn't always make the best decision and this is one of them, how is watching the last few chapters of a manga a good idea? the spoilers will be beyond stupid.

@xZabuzax Because they arent spoilers? The director/production committee very intentionally want you to start with episode 0.

Episode 0 means something that should be watched AFTER the main series. Take Fate Zero for example.

@vp787 Really glad I decided to check here first lol thanks! I think I'd rather just not watch episode 0. It just seems like such a backwards decision by the director to show the epilogue or later chapters first. I'll give the actual series a shot though, it looks interesting

People had no problem with X when the series did the same : promise plot points through an OAV some call 'episode 0' that would go through many events plus late revelations about characters' past before starting at the beginning with the first episode.

I watched it and made me binge all 6 episodes, I think it was a great build up especially based on how the pacing is going in the show. If it keeps it up probably will be a new piece on my fav list. All those negative comments are understandable tho may not be appealing to the simple crowd.

Damn I didnt know, I knew it was weird that it was called Episode 0.
Oh well... But to be fair it kinda makes me more interested in the show as a whole and I might not have watched it if not for that.
So maybe its not the end of the world to watch it first.
It kinda ended on a cliffhanger too so they didn't really go full out and spoiled us everything.

Sometimes these timeskip random scene spoilers are kinda good just for the fact that it increases interest by a lot, for example the Boruto first minute kinda made me want to read the whole manga and it was very much worth it.

I'll be honest, without ep 0, I would have probably dropped it early on since it took until ep 7 before it really captivated me.

I made the mistake of watching Episode 0 thinking it was Episode 1. What disappointed me with the series is that coming from Ep 0, I thought the series is action-packed. There's some value watching the series but watching Episode 0 first will give you a letdown once you start watching the series.
