I was getting bored and tired of it halfway through. It also got, like... literally gay towards the end. That was awkward.

Yeah, I want to know the story behind the city, but if it's going to have lots of yaoi in it I don't want to know that badly. Guess I'll give it another episode before I decide.

I don't think its Yaoi...more like shounen-ai..right? Anyways, I liked it. Also, it sort of reminded me of the relationship with Yoite and Miharu in Nabari no Ou. Hopefully they do explain what's going on more with the city and all, but I'm sure they will, so looking forward to it.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

"On his twelfth birthday, he met a beautiful boy called "Nezumi,""

That description alone made me not want to watch it. I have NOTHING against people that enjoy the genre. I don't :(. The story looks interesting though, if you plan on watching it.

Not bad to start. I kinda like it and will keep on watching. The two guys in the OP resembles like Alan and Kanda which took me by suprised. Hopefully no yaoi is involved in this anime cause I also smelled it lol.

Yeah, it's definitely implied. And I have no idea why some people say "yaoi" for shounen-ai. One is mild and the other is... well, yeah. You'd think they would want to differentiate.

Aside from all those nasty undertones, it seemed pretty interesting. I really just can't get used to Yuuki Kaji's voice no matter how hard I try. Ugh. It also felt a bit slow. I hope we don't have to watch them as 12 year-olds the whole time and this is all just a 2-episode flashback because of Safu mentioning that tower's screech. Oh yeah, and the hair color. Did noitanimA switch up the colors like they did for Fractale or has he just not dyed it yet? I hope it's the latter.

This show is not shounen-ai. The romance (albeit slow) is between him and his childhood friend.

Can two guys be really close bros and have everyone NOT calling it gay?
I wouldn't even give a shit if it was gay. But people spouting shit about two guys being close friends makes themselves sound really insecure.

The homolust is strong in this one.

Pretty good first episode though, I want to see how things will turn out. Hoping it won't be disappointing like C.

Yeah, while I got a bit of a gay vibe between the two of them it wasn't that extreme. If you can't handle this much, you probably couldn't stand the rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke either. And besides, the main character clearly has a female love interest. He's bi-curious at best.

Uhhh interesting start I guess? Total bromance aside, I am kind of intrigued at this future of theirs. Apparently most, if not all, of the habitable areas in Japan were destroyed at some point and some how managed to find so much open space to build a huge ass cities and have enough real estate for large spacious houses?

Looking forward to this timeskip thing that's going to happen.

I pretty much skimmed through the whole thing. I was really looking forward to this one too. But the first episode kinda disappointed me. I'm going to try to keep watching though. Hopefully it'll get better for me in the next one.

The yaoi is strong in this one, it is.

But I like Bones stuff and this is the only sci fi genre show (Sacred seven kinda counts) this season, and I've been craving a new mature sci fi anime, I just hope it at least it doesn't go pass Nabari no ou level of yaoi, if so, ehhhh...

4/5

I thought the first episode was okay. And I thought Shion already had something going on with the girl from the beginning of the episode so I doubt anything will happen between the two MCs.

Wow.... the first episode was okay, but shounen-ai vibes are being sent off during this episode. Unless the story shifts to shounen-ai, I'll have to consider the next episode.

So far, 4/5.

I don't really mind the shounen-ai...thought it was pretty adorable actually, but that's just me. I'm going to keep watching because the whole concept seems interesting enough. Also, I just really like the ending theme.

FINALY SOMEONE SAYS THAT, i mena jesus is homophobia really that bad now, besides why cant two people ever just be close without people shipping them, its like with cannan, everyone kept making that serise out to be like a yuri when it wasnt, did they love eachother of course they did after all the shit they went though, were they IN love with eachother, HELL NO, thats the same with this show

For fucks sake... when I was reading many ppls comments I couldn't help but facepalm (more than usual).

I can't believe the big debate is whether to drop this show simply because there may (or MAY NOT) be a romantic relationship between 2 males.

Really?! Close-minded idiocy. I am dissapointed.

I could care less if its homo or hetero- What people should be caring about is plot, characters, overall progression...etc and base their drop/not drop on that.

That said, it wasn't an impressive episode but I am intrigued by the 'futuristic' elements & I'm curious to see where it goes...

Guys there is no shounen- ai or yaoi in this anime.Yes, there is gonna be a time skip, but seriously this thing needs to be longer than twelve episodes.

lulz at the "will drop if gay" and the "it shouldn't matter" people

while it is funny that people are already putting the finger on the trigger waiting for gayness, it's equally funny to see the people want them to feel bad about not watching what they don't want to

anywho, how bout dat city?

Extremly boring... and really gay. If I had known it was going into "he's my best friend forever" in wouldn't have watched it. Then again... I should have known: it's labeled josei... what else could it be?

HATE the OP. Love the episode and the "suggested shounen ai." Can't wait till they grow up and Shion's hair turns white. Wanna know how that happen. Am I the only one that noticed the extreme similarity to Allen and Kanda, character-design wise, I guess?

I enjoyed it, and I really didn't get the same vibes as everyone else seems to be getting. I don't think it will end up being that kind of show, but if it is I don't care as long as it remains interesting. The sexuality of characters should never matter as long as it feels authentic.

How about people wait more than 1 episode to start labeling something or reviewing it.

I found the first ep pretty boring. Isn't this the episode that's supposed to get the viewers hooked?! The characters weren't that interesting and the plot/pacing was all over the place.

I might give it a couple more eps before dropping...:\

I was getting into the OP until she started singing...

Adorable as expected. Lol'd at Shion giving Nezumi the sweater.

Quite a bit different from the manga chapters I've read so far which is not a bad thing, but I'm worried about this fitting into 11 episodes.

I seem to be one of the few who really enjoyed this series.

The futuristic back drop isn't the type usually seen in anime aren't very mainstream. The dialogue was very well planned, especially with Shion and Nezumi's conversation had a lot of implied meanings to different interpretive themes, which was quite refreshing to see it keeping true to the original work. The musical score isn't the best, (if not very absence). Despite a slow start i'm drawn into their world.
