| Well damn, they sure made the first 10+ minutes of this episode dramatic with an all out fight. This has reincarnation and Shinigami themes so far. Death seems to also be a major part of this show but so far, they really had one of the main guys go all out in that fight. It feels very fast paced but at the same time also very dramatic in terms of cinematics and chereography. Not sure yet how I feel about the cast but the MC's personality feels kinda dull, in contrast to that Misaki girl. She is also far from normal... Might have some potential. I haven't read the source material for this before so going to keep expectations in check for now. |

| WOW this is edgy as heck from the manga of the same name from mangaka Ryohgo Narita, being a Darwin's Game derivative, but with substance. The legendary hero and member of the Church: the Calamity Crusher Shagrua Edith Lugrid vs the necromancer of the Corpse God, it's an intense, all-out fight for the 1st half, to save humanity. And all of that encapsulated in an overkill...that has the Corpse God relive a second chance of a life through reincarnation, albeit with a slit throat. Being in an unfamiliar world of a peaceful Japan, the Corpse God trying to make two and two together within a body that belonged to a Polka Shinoyama, and getting whizzed away by the eccentric high school girl Misaki Sakimiya, wanting to earn a kill twice over him after killing the original owner's body once. With no definition of magic, he can only scathe off the hitgirl's yandere attacks but not for long, and still having the Evil Eye power enough to exact the same Corpse power he had before against her. Unfortunately for Shagrua, the defeat against the Corpse God feels partically complete, though for him, the reincarnation as Polka Shinoyama will etch another power into the new world...another round of Grim Reaping tag game. Will this be a better Darwin's Game? Let's see...and already, this is Geektoys's best performance by far, and a good thing that this is 24 episodes over split-cours. |

| Ok they’re cooking up something special here with the reverse isekai of the villain set up. I went into the episode totally blind so after the first few minutes I thought it was gonna be a generic dark fantasy, was not expecting that twist. Misaki genuinely caught me off guard. I was so focused on how much she reminded me of Mari from Evangelion that I didn’t even notice how sus it was that she pulled the dude into the back alley lol. Really looking forward to this one |
 |
| I am hooked 👍 I like the twist they put in where instead of the typical route of where the main hero of that world being sent to contemporary Japan, we have instead the big bad of that world be the one who gets transported and moved to contemporary Japan instead I look forward to seeing what else the protagonist will cook up after this and the direction of this story. And I already like Misaki lmao not one someone can just not pay attention to |

| I sure don't mind an edgy death game anime once in a while, even tho none of these come even close to Battle Royale or Gantz. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This seems quite edgy but it can be good if done right. I like Misaki already. Really liked the OP visuals. |

| So the evil big bad was isekai'd to modern Japan.......interesting. The action seems pretty good so far, I'll give it that. I have no clue what to expect from this so it should be quite a ride. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| It's finally here! This first episode had a lot of love poured into it with small details like Arase and Iwa noticing Corpse God and Misaki. If only they knew another troublemaker has entered the scene. I very much hope they'll continue with the post-credit scenes, cause those would be perfect to add the novel bits at the end of each volume. I also spotted a certain someone in the ending visuals, and seeing them gives me hope for a 24 episode season, because we are only at the beginning of chapter 2 right now. I was really worried about the animation and pacing, but they're doing a great job so far. (Edit: I only just realized that 24 episodes was already confirmed!) |

| A very interesting start to this show. I was expecting a fantasy show but it's a Isekai just in our world which is cool. The character designs are cool. Can't wait to see where it goes. This episode was a pretty decent start. I don't think Misaki is dead or is she really dead? LOL |

| Bruuuuuh, a reverse edgy isekai made by the Baccano and Durarara author? Fuck yeah, count me in! I'm curious to see how the story progresses, the guys of that organization and maybe something more or the world corpse god came from. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Interesting first episode, and the animation was actually pretty good. |
| The villain guy reincarnated into modern world and he wants a peaceful life? Why was he killing people back in his previous world then? Also is Misaki chan really dead? I hope she's revived or something, liked her. Good to have anime of another work from Narita Ryohgo, hoping good things from this. |

It easily has enough similarties to classify it along with death game or battle royale series like Fate or Re:Creators |

| IM SO HYPED ABOUT THIS!!!! Also I know a dub has been announced and I’m hoping for Justin Briner and Tia Ballard |
| This is going to be stupid fun, I enjoyed that a good bit. Also, for a Geek Toys anime, this is looking pretty solid. Definitely their best looking anime so far (if you forget that CG tho) |
 |
| well this was fun. so it's not the hero who got reincarnated but the skeleton guy, huh. got me confused at first. expecting to see much blood and gore in this |
| I love the manga, I love everything Ryohgo Narita creates and this series has just started with a blast, as expected! The manga is great, now I am very hyped seeing the quality of the first episode! |
 |
| Coincidence of the millennium that I finished the final season of Durarara a literal day before a new Narita work started airing lmfaooo Really liked this premiere! Gonna reserve staying much before the eventual multiple perspectives start coming into play so I'm very excited for that. |
| Didn't think Geektoys could cook like this! Really impressed with everything I've seen so far. All the reverse isekai I've seen (Dragon Maid, Devil is a Part-Timer, Jahy-sama) have leaned into the comedy of being a fish-out-of-water in the real world, but it looks like we're finally gonna get a serious, plot-driven story about a godly necromancer in the real world (or something reminiscent of the real world). Pretty excited about this. And we're even gonna get another cour in the Fall! |
| What an intense first episode, so the Corpse God got reverse isekaied to the modern world after clashing with the hero in another world. Now the Corpse God has been reincarnated in the body of Polka Shinoyama who was killed recently by a female assassin Misaki Sakimiya. After running around it seems that the Corpse God's powers have finally kicked in the modern world and he was able to kill Misaki Sakimiya with the Evil Eye power. A fantastic start to a very rather edgy series. I had this series on my PTW list, but for some reason I removed and I don't know why exactly. I'm glad that I pick this up because it looks like a very interesting story and I hope it will be just as good as Durarara. |

| Wow...the uh...battle scene in the beginning seemed very long/drawn-out especially if we never see those "church soldiers" ever again...but at least it established that the animation is reaaaallllly nice... I lol'ed at the after credits scene at the scene where he was shocked she was already dead Although I thought the evil eye thing could see souls? He wasn't able to see her body was soulless aka: already dead till he 'shook her around' ? That seems odd but ooook...I'm gonna guess they were just trying to be funny... |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| ok, i seriously lol'd at the aftercredit scene also, obvious Devil Survivor and Darwin's Game vibes with this one, and a few others |
   |
| Wth? Why in the bejeezus was he surprised she died? |
| First episode was nice and animation was on above average level. Even CG wasn't that bad. Though I won't get too hyped, because GEEKTOYS is notoriously bad studio and most likely they'll somehow find a way to ruin it. |
