THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Got introduced to a bunch of characters already.

The episode felt like watching a storybook adventure tbh even with some of the graphic narratives. I'm honestly more interested about the world rather than the characters at the moment. But maybe with given time, they can develop them?

Looks like the episode had some themes related to Red Riding Hood. I wonder how many other classic fantasy stories the show will focus on.

For holy grail sake, they skipped cinderella world, the first and most important. Also, they cleared red riding hood world in 1 ep wtf. Looks like it is on the fast track to trainwreck.

On the bright side, it's the special ep.1 ED. Mirai kodai gakudan did amazing work again feat dazbee, now with "Hero's Psalm".

I played the game, and this adaptation terribly wrong, as expected. Dropped as next week they replaced the ending, means nothing good left.

This show looked interesting at first glance, but I'm not sure how I feel about it after watching the first episode.
I feel like it just threw us into the middle of an ongoing story with very little information, but enough to understand the gist of everything going on. The world seems really interesting and assuming it just the main little group running around from story to story, it might be a really cool story. But then again, as a first episode, it wasn't all that interesting. It seemed like everything went a little fast and nothing was really introduced or explained as well as it could have been. It just seems like a half thought up story in a world with so much potential. Perhaps future episodes will pull me in a bit more.

*Main dude transforms into a chick, and one of the girls transforms into a dude*

What in the ever loving fuck was that?? This anime could have had potential, but it already messed up in not only a cohesive narrative, but the transformations were beyond retarded too. The whole genderswapping stuff needs to die.

This is so much better than I was expecting it to be. The characters are so nice and I'm happy the red riding hood story got resolved well. Also I thought the animation looked really pretty. I guess this is one of the few shows I'm picking up this season.
I kinda want to play the game now.

I am not against gender swapping but there has to be a reason for it . For instance there was an anime where a guy got turned into a magical girl. https://myanimelist.net/anime/8841/Kore_wa_Zombie_Desu_ka And it was funny like hell. But this is just to please snow flakes. Also the whole premise is kinda stupid. Repeating the same story over and over is hell. I cannot support the protagonists as I see the chaos writers as the good guys. The whole everyone knows their fate thing was done much better in https://myanimelist.net/anime/4884/Tales_of_the_Abyss. So drop

Is this show sponsored by a religious organisation? Because the morals are completely screwed up. The world is the worst thing I could imagine, some supernatural dictator gives you a book at birth and you can't get away from whatever fate brings your way. Those lucky enough who have a blank book go around forcing others to comply. so pretty much like the clergy. Never dropped a show after the first episode but this show pushed my buttons.

Hmm that was a pretty good OP from Ayana that matched well with the visuals. Quite the hostile reception they got from the village though. So the village is the home of the red riding hood huh. Shane's nature sure did a 180 when she found something she liked. To think that Riding hood was the main villain though what a twist. Guess her resentment of the villagers was taken advantaged off. The teams transformation and their fight against transformed Red was pretty fun. Reina's magic though was beautiful. A decent first ep that did well in not just introducing the setting and the cast but also show a new take on fairy tale characters like Red Riding hood and the struggles that they may have.

This show basically dropped us into the middle of and already ongoing story. Not to mention those transformations were god awful. the characters already seem like they going to be bare bones. I was actually expecting something decent out of this, but I guess that was a little too much.
Let's all have fun and play together.

The best take on Red Riding Hood I've seen yet xD

The premise is pretty interesting, curious to see how this goes.

Its not half bad. Sure, they dropped us in the middle of an arc and finished it in one episode but I dont think that decision was necessary bad. I love the OP and the soundtrack and the animation was pretty solid. Overall, it has potential and its a good watch so far

I thought it was pretty fun but I can already tell it'll probably never be great and it's surely destined for a 6-rating. Will be fun to meet some of the 'fairy tale' characters.

Shane doing stuff Shane does is just <3

I wonder what are they thinking by dropping us inside an ongoing arc?
I wonder if they just put this episode first for action sake? Or bcs they want the empty book as center of the plot (unlike in the game, where it's a plot device to get the MC into the story)?


ps.: Also, Ex, for the lack of better name. =D

Their transformation looked like a fairy tale power ranger show lol.
Need to get used to the voice of some characters. The world setting is interesting. Few annoying characters. Focusing on a lot of classic fantasy stories.
Ending theme was catchy. Animation sucks is borderline decent.

I've never had a premise be so intriguing and the story itself be so uninteresting. The chara-designs are bland garbage, the OP was a generic-as-fuck pop song (I'm pretty sure I've heard that song before, that's how generic it was) and just.... what? Sorry, I expected this to be bad, turned out to be terrible instead. It's clear the studio doesn't give two shits about this anime.

The ending and epilogue in the end are the only content that have 50% of the game quality. But next week they'll replace it with cheap idol ed, so why bother keep watching it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The story looks interesting, I do not know the game, but at least I liked the idea that the heroes use the characters of children's stories to protect the continuity of a story.
Another interesting detail is that the characters have their own book and that what is written in the book is their destiny (it also seemed a bit sad)
I found it interesting that the MC book is blank, it means that it has more freedom than its teammates, in addition to its name is EX and that catches my attention too. Another character that kept me interested was Shane, she reminded me a bit of Megumin, at least in how she described the hunter's rifle with such detail and her face of joy at having it in her hands.
I loved seeing the heroine of the story they were in, becoming the villain, seeing red riding hood become an evil being with the appearance of the big bad wolf was great, the battle was interesting, at least we already know the functions of the 4 members and their characters in which they are transformed.
To be the first episode was not bad, I think I will continue with the two episodes that come to form a better opinion and contemplate this anime better.

I for one thought it was good and better than some of the opening episodes I've watched so far. I will stick with it gladly with a smile because it seems interesting.

I wonder how did they transform into those fairy tale people, especially the protagonist Ex who's Alice? It is different from the anime transformations I've seen so far except on mahou shoujo. I think I will like it, so let's go baby!

I liked this. I think they threw us into the first episode without much explanation, since they're saving that for the next episode. Or at the very least, we might get a flashback on how these four came together to help save people.

Outside of that, I thought it was a pretty good beginning. I'm glad that I decided to check this out.

so... apparently we got genderbending thing going on...

The male turn into girl, and the other girl turn into guy...

Why couldn't they just go with the guy becoming the Hunter and the girl become Alice? Why the genderbend? is this some sort of Doujin Fetish?
