The trap MC Appare is quite the unique fellow, bit of a horrible attitude and annoying to deal with but good thing he has someone like Kosame who tries to understand him. Didn't expect a unique race anime, but I'm already digging this interesting setting.

Love the first episode, the opening scene reminds me of Hanna-Barbara's Wacky Races. But more importantly is the red haired main character and their personality, the first thing they made me think of is digibro/diginee's ideas on autism and neurotyping and that this character is most definitely a genius autist, who comes off as eccentric because of it. This coupled with the seeming analogy of youth being held back and repressed by a family and society which instead of restraining should have been helping and nurturing leads to the show seemingly being about world discovery past the walls you had previously not known and learning to survive on your own within this new greater world; resulting is self discovery and awareness by being allowed to truly be yourself unrestrained by the aforementioned bonds.

Beyond the red haired main character, the dynamic between the two is clearly the japanese straight man- funny man Manzai routine, save that the 'funny one' isn't played as a joke or even weird by narrative directing or acting but only by contrast the other characters being 'normal'.

This anime seems goddamn interesting but the first episode was boring. Maybe its just the first episode and nothing more.

BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity.

In Nippon, we trust.

We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本

Honestly one of my favourite first episodes I've watched in a while, I think the jokes are well timed, the character designs are all so bright and colourful and the backing music sounds so good so far. Just hope the next 12 episodes don't let me down.

I'm kind of just bothered with the paint around mc's mouth, also I love his speech about how the world is connected.

I think this was an alright episode, though I guess I did like it overall. Not sure how to feel about Appare yet though, but we'll see! Just glad I can finally watch this now that's it's available for me
