| Jumping into this without knowing anything about it and first impressions are: minority report the anime! One of the three cloverworks projects this season. Hope they'll be alright. As for the show itself, at least it's a somewhat fresh concept and is not one of the numerous other isekai-related anime this season. Characters seem to be not too generic but I wish we could've get more of an introduction for each of them rather than being just thrown into all this at once. Don't mind it too much, they'll hopefully be fleshed out with backstories as we go along. I guess it is nice to have an anime that doesn't waste any time getting down to business. We see a lot of cgi lexus cars in anime, was nice to see something different in the form of a bentley lol. And yo that was a pretty nice-looking church Just a few questions though, including how do you get your foot stuck like that so easily? And do people have superhuman abilities in this world, or is it just the one dude(s)? And will this show NOT be a case of first-episode-is-good-but-then-the-rest-sucks? I hope so, I myself was pleasantly surprised by the quality of at least this first episode. If I never checked the time, you could've probably fool me into thinking this was but a 20-minute episode. Who or what is asumi? How is she or it downloading super powers onto people via phone call? Is it an advanced form of the minority report where it can sense people danger that is unrelated to crime? What is this anime and how did I almost miss this??! Anyway, looking forward to next week where my curiosity will hopefully be quenched with a little more background provided to this world. |

| It seems a good anime, this first episode was awesome. |
 |
| Out of everything that aired yesterday, this was my favorite watch I still don't know how the trio got powers as well as what the graffiti guy and corporate guy got specifically as abilities, but I was hyped to see them save their friend lol |
I think it's a reference to the movie. 2001 a Space oddesy |

| cloverworks why are you doing this to yourself. looks interesting .. Kinda. i am interested tho! don't think it'll be any good but i really hope im wrong. enoki junya voicing mc saves the day again im probably not gonna drop this show for that sole reason |
| Well, I didn't like it. I wonder if it can be better a bit, but if it stays the same or gets worse I'm gonna drop it for sure. I don't like the story nor the characters either. If it's a 45 mins 1st ep then there should be some deeper content that's intriguing and keeps the viewers interested in watching further. But this wasn't good. And now will be like the 3 main guys will starts working together to be heroes and save citizens from the culprit that burnt down the school and killed their female friend. |

| First episode of Tokyo 24 and...not gonna lie that going into this was really hard. There are lots of clues that this show is going to suffer in the next episodes are very apparent. But watching this episode gave me some sigh of relief. Unlike what I usually do (which carefully type a lot of stuff that happened this episode), I can only say about the face value that this show has for me, since first of all it has twice a normal episode's length. And for a 50-minute presentation, I think what they did was decent enough. The character design is painfully decent, the art seems alright, and the animation can be rocky throughout. The actual characters themselves are not that great as well, although I admit that they do have their quirks. And the story...well yeah I'll comment on that in the following episodes. What actually impressed me the most are the animation techniques that they used for this show. It's uncommon for an anime show to plaster the characters while the background is on a stop, and some of the shots are very appealing as well. I think that is something going for this show, but for the rest, well it's too early to tell for now. All I can say is that if this was a standalone movie, this is a decent 7/10 for me....I hope that it lasts by the end though. |

| God damn, the Blue is so annoying. |
| Signature removed. Check your inbox |
| Actually a pretty good start. Hopefully production pulls through. Goddamnit Aniplex, stop killing Cloverworks, or other studios for that matter. RGB bois are pretty entertaining, all the other side characters as well. The way Mari got her leg stuck in the rails was fucking ridiculous though lmao, and then Shu was able to quickly pull it out, I mean yeah sure, supernatural powers. I really like those shots where the characters are like cutouts with the white outline and the frozen backgrounds, it's cool. Plot is kinda contrived, but I guess it has potential and I like the characters and setting so far. Plus, OP and ED are bangers. |
 |
| That was something to say the least Go team RGB lol |
 |
| That second half of the episode really saved it, the first half felt like an unintentional parody. |
| A solid start. Despite it being an hour long episode, it kept me entertained the entire time. The animation is solid, which is no surprise. Not too crazy about Enoki vocing another MC. He's not bad or anything, but I don't get why every director wants to cast him as the MC in these similar types of character roles. |
| It was a nice first episode but the fire animation in the school fire reminded me of ex-arm ngl. And the first half was really bad. The second half got me really excited |

| Seems very promising. |
| Woah that was a great episode, it was quite emotional even though we barely knew the characters. It had little bit of fun and comedic moments too, I liked it. It seems like the initial set up is not fully done but we have met with our main leads. The premise is quite interesting and something new. The action scenes were kickass, I really enjoyed them. I like this sense of mystery and stuff, makes we yearn for more even though it was a 48 min episode. The OP is good. This kept me intersted for whole 48 minutes, it was a thrilling and fun episode. Looking forward to next episode. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| It was a nice start. And the animation looks nice. I like the OP by Survive said the Prophet and the ED by the VAs are really good too. But some things seem to be a little questionable to me. First, Why was the train running on its own without any driver? It's supposed to be like they get to know that there's a civilian stuck on the rail so the control room contacts the train staff and the driver stops the train. Second, why did Mary move so farther like that making it look like a dumb stunt pose? it didn't seem like she lost control over the speed and accidentally moved farther. If it was me, I would quickly slow down where the leash got stuck take that off and quickly move away from the rail with the dog. Third, How could Shuta take her feet out from the rail so easily when she herself couldn't get it out? And I don't like seeing this hero thing going on where it doesn't fit. That just looks childish. For some reason I'm not really liking Shuta's voice. I like Enoki Junya's voice acting but here he sometimes kinda sounds odd. Especially here,  The way he screamed here... I cracked up cuz of how comical it sounded 😅  “that's not something a human can do”? He climbed a freakin' building in the most inhumanly way like some monkey before gaining this power... It's still enjoyable. I'm curious about the future missions they'll receive from that so-called Asumi. |
| I didn‘t expect much and was positively surprised! I really like the story so far and the animation isn’t bad either. I like the three main characters a lot! |
| Wow, I thought it was fujobait. I didn't expect double length 1st episode and interesting plot with Minority Report-like elements. Also look at this pack of girl, almost every archetype: Dead crush, Osanajimmie, OL christmas cake, mom, loli mom (no picture on official site), tanned tomboy, plain schoolgirl, serious officer and trap.  |
 |
| It's not bad although it could be better, I hope it does |
| I wouldn’t call it good, but it was entertaining enough to not make the 48 minutes a drag. The art is average at best and the animation is inconsistent. The characters feel like tropes and the part where the blue hair guy headbutts the other two was hilarious in a bad way. Once the train call kicked in I was actually enjoying it some. I can’t say I’m optimistic about the future of this series but we’ll see what the next couple episodes have to offer. |
| I think the first episode was pretty decent, even though we don't anything about those super powers or how the characters exactly obtained them but it does look promising. Nonetheless, I'm courious how the next episodes will be and how the story line unfolds. |
| expecations were low with it being cloverwork and will remain low till the end but for now i thought it was interesting enough for a OG show ,debating on if it'd be better without the super powers or not but stuff like what they just did to prevent a disaster would be almost impossible also that one guard lady ended up on the train at the end? so she might have powers too. will keep watching since i hardly have anything to watch in the middle of the week |
 |
| Damn, I learned that this episode was 48 minutes only by reading comments, while watching I didn't felt that at any moment. xD I will consider this as big + from me. And as some people already pointed out I'm also calling that potentially obvious twist in which Asumi is "alive" and part of that computer... also it is nice that creators were inspired by irl quantum computer.  Rickydory123 said: “that's not something a human can do”? He climbed a freakin' building in the most inhumanly way like some monkey before gaining this power... His climbing on that building before getting powers was kida exaggerated but from what I saw he used techniques for climbing structures like those and was grabbing stuff to climb. DatRandomDude said: Nothing amazing but it was a pretty interesting first episode. It has potential. However, let's see how bad it gets with the behind-the-scenes stories that came out about that anime in the past. I kinda expect a delay somewhere during the season for that one. Oh... can I ask for some juicy info?? :) |
