| Tbh I feel like they crammed way too much into the first ep but that’s just me. |
| All those who find the pacing /Cuts just fine, idk what to say. They were faithful to the source Material, sadly so much faithful that the creativity of bringing a Still image to Motion kinda Lacked here.I felt something was missing, something was weird.......and then when my sister told me, hey how is Kirie with Shuichi in one scene, and within a few mins with her dad,again at school? Again at Hospital?? at the same time.....I told her to imagine this as a Day-Night difference, just imagine events taking place in different days, then they drop The Snail,Azami's obsession and Mom's mental Breakdown all within a few mins, switching continuosly inbetween....and How is Kirie switching places so soon? Question still remains, maybe this was a Bad idea to Jump Inbetween Stories. Ito Wrote ✍️ the story in a linear way,a continuous timeline, leaving no plot holes. But the anime lacks there. Should've been more creative and taken care in editing (if it's the case)/pacing while jumping between events. I'm still giving it an 8/10 for now.....yet to watch the rest, but.....yea this is a VERY BIG FLAW of this adaptation. It wasn't smooth. |

The pacing is fast but it was like that in the manga too
| @thischeetobussin nope. In the Manga you're reading still images. So, it depends upon ur own pace of reading because there wasn't much time gaps inbetween the incidents. But for a motion picture, it's the directors job to create a Perfect Transition between each panel/chapters, some panels of their own creativity, to create a perfect transition and smooth experience. This feels like a Cut & paste. Sadly. |

The manga had only 19 chapters so what do you expect? If all the remaining episode have extended length then I think the adaptation will be just fine. I enjoyed the first episode quite a lot. Easy 8/10 if they can keep up the quality and momentum onwards
| @Mdraj6996 it has only 19.chapters, but each chapters has it's own length. The 19chapters doesn't take place in a single day or so......19 chapters is a lot. And To create a smooth experience, they should've added some cutscene transition from story to story/panels. Regarding th length of the episode, barely 2 chapters fit in,with proper narration. Some chapters are lengthy. |

| I read the manga a few years ago so my memories may be rusty, but I didn't feel the manga was fast paced. Maybe it feels this way in the animation form? Because the episode definitely felt faster from a subjective point of view. It wasn't affecting my experience though. |

19 chapters, 4 episodes, that's like almost 5 chapters per episode. that is rushed, isn't it ?
| @AMAN2410 I still don't think they'll do all the chapters. Based on this episode, I'm guessing they'll have about 12 chapters or so. Also, maybe a hot take, I think the pacing is irrelevant. Even the manga never built much emotion either. It's about the atmosphere, the horror, the memorable moments. |
| this anime is a speedrun summary of the manga |
| Wow, "No" is actually winning the poll. After the initial response I saw in the episode 1 discussion thread, I'm surprised. Personally, I found the fast-pacing really noticeable in my first viewing. Between the pace and the way the events of different chapters were sewn together, they really made it blaze by in my opinion. In my shoes I would have let it breathe a little more I think, but overall it's still a really enjoyable adaptation so far, IMO. (A blind reacter I follow, who never even touched horror anime before, was pretty blown away too.) I think the biggest missed opportunity was a scene they skipped where the mom threw out the dad's spiral collection and he flipped out. Like I realize it wasn't a vital scene and his obsession was already well-established, but seeing the family (or at least the mother) try and do something about his issues before looking into having him admitted the night they found him would have been a pretty decent middle-step. But, overall, if it keeps with the quality it has, this really feels like a nitpick of mine. |

why was then the 1st episode around 20 minutes? if they wanted, they could've made a 1 hour pilot episode. also, mal shows the episode runtime to be 23 minutes. there's no information whatsoever that other 3 episodes will have a longer runtime.
| @AMAN2410 actually I looked through earlier discussions, and we do seem to have confirmation that each episode will increase in length |

| I thought the faster pace helped to build tension |
| the original manga was formatted in a way where there were a bunch of random mini-stories that happened one after eachother, with very little cohesion outside of their respective "spiral" theme. so, i thought the first episodes decision to blend these stories together worked really well! it made for a more smooth viewing experience. |
| To me the pacing is fast, but not too fast. |
No, this isn't my signature-desu. |
| the pacing did feel weird to me at times but it wasnt enough to actually ruin the show |
 |
| it is rushed; if you don't try to change your own perspective on how to watch it |
