I really don't like pacing of this show... screenwriters putting obstacles, other characters and story elements as they pleases - it's not based on logic. Undead creatures, ogres, flying superpowers, airships and so on. Yes, everything is cool but soon, this will turn to nonsense.

And I don't like those characters personalities, only one normal is Gareki. I really can't watch this show while hearing MC's sniveling and his very narrow wordbase (Kuroku. Kuroku! Kuroku?). That's the worst.

Sadly, it is dealbraker for me, so I guess this is dropping point for me.

It's kinda meh to me. It's pretty and all, but... something's off. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Also: Would this be nearly as popular without all the cute bishounen?

Pretty decent episodes, through the humour was forced at times. Really liking Gareki, My favorite character so far.

So far it's been pretty good. Interesting and some action too. I just want to know why they are after him, does he have some kind of powers besides hearing or did he see something he shouldn't have. The circus is cool I guess there are definitely some good characters.

4/5

So I made a big mistake people. Right after I watched episode 1,I was so excited I went and marathoned the manga. And now the anime seems so utterly weak in comparison. No,seriously, they're skipping out on a lot of I portent parts...and the humor in the anime is so bad compared to the manga.

I know most of you will say that's how it is with most anime but please people, if you feel the anime is boring, READ THE MANGA. IT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE.

I liked the entrance that Yogi made in this episode.
Nai sure showed how big of an airhead mentality he has.
And Nai did look a bit like Shiro from K Project.

*shrugs* Sorry, but I don't feel that way really. The humor, the second chapter's main part(with Nai getting framed by those people(I don't want to give too much away). They didn't mention that at all. Plus they're rushing past the chapter and missing out some dialogue. But if you're enjoying it, good for you. :)
I'm not enjoying it much though...

Too many Biebers.
Dropped.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Heck this anime is in my top 5 animes ever!!

I am so happy to hear Miyano-sama in a new role! And Yogi fits him perfectly!

I will admit that i'm a bit confused about the plot so far, but that only makes it more interesting! Next week come quick!
The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being.

Opening theme song sucks, but I wasn't expecting much anyways. Better pacing than the first episode. The action was pretty decent. Story still doesn't really grab me, but the characters are neat. Yogi is totally cute.

I don't really understand whats going on yet. I really wish Nai would use more than 2 words in his vocabulary. Actually, this entire show has some pretty awful dialogue and is being held together by a weird setting and well placed comedic moments.

I actually felt a little proud of Nai for throwing that rock, as silly and lame as it turned out to be. At least he tried. I really like everyone else so far though and Nai still has plenty of time to redeem himself, so I'll wait and see!
Yogi's entrance was indeed something lol.

It's ... weird.
I mean, the anime has a very creative scenario, colourful backgrounds, catchy music and eye candy for everyone (the blonde chick = sold) but the pacing is so off, it's hard to keep up with it.
I think I'll go with the manga.

I hope Nai turns into an actual person at some point, because right now he's about the equivalent of a talking potato. The setting and premise has me hooked though, and I'm willing to overlook an annoying main character if the supporting cast can pick up the slack.

Also, eyecandy. Seriously fantastic designs everywhere. Except for Nai's purple stuff in his hair, but we're just kind of discounting Nai from any general praise I'm giving this.
