| Already drawn in already. Amazing visual |
| > Shinsekai yori vibes. Boi I was looking a show like this for a long time. Also really want to know what this emoton thing. I guess it is also something like Shinsekai yori. GamerUnglued said: The show's biggest problems were also shared by SSY. The characters are solid enough but unremarkable. They are distinct and have decent chemistry, but no one is particularly likable or unlikable, and there isn't any intrigue for them. In other words, I don't really care about any of them yet. The biggest problem for this and SSY is the exposition. The narrator explains things that are happening right in front of me and it's annoying and even distracting. They introduce the guys who got out of jail and we see them interact, but after the leader starts to make demands the main guy says "he's the leader of the bowel moles, and he has the strongest thymia of everyone." I don't need you to tell me that, it's obvious from both his design and actions. This isn't the only time this happened either. I want to see the beautiful world of the show, I don't want you to explain the world to me. Well you are not the only one who is watching this show. Some may need those infos. Maybe someone new to the anime. Also saying SSY has unremarkable characters. Dunno man... |

| @GamerUnglued Of course I am not supporting the infodump in the first ep. For this anime I think it was not bad. As for the gang and leader thing it could be about the translation but it seems like there isnt a gang so to speak. I can say that because of the events at the end. Anyways if you didnt like that part you didnt like that part. No point of arguing there. As for SSY I can add Akki for that list since she was really important as a character and for the plot. Shun for the first part of the show is also like that. As for Satoru yea I would agree. Maria and Mamoru intentionally not remarkable imo. That is what their stories about which led some events in the show. |
| The art is really something else. Loved the vibe. They story so far seems to be 'ok', kinda interesting set up and it seems the elders are hiding the truth about the outside world. Kinda have a good feeling about this. Hope it's good. |

skyUFO said: What's up with this season? So many shoujo animes. I don't like how they keep using the same male voice actors for all these shoujo animes. Anyway, this seems like something I might actually watch to the end. The backgrounds are pretty and the world seems to hold enough mysteries to keep up the interest. In France Kujira is published as a Seinen. If you remove the chara-design you don't really have something which makes you think of a shojo.^^ Really good manga tho and good first episode. NanoRin said: tfw when 95% of comments are people saying they were planning on skipping this/didn't know it exists/ had no expectations but this was one of my most anticipated fall anime for months now. Worse yet it's licensed by Netflix.... So I thought this was a really great first episode. Pacing was a little rough at times, nothing too terrible though and personally I have no issues with the narration thus far. It looks gorgeous and the world is intriguing. I like our MC and the brother and sister so far. Hope the quality remains consistent. Haha, it was my most anticiped anime of the year after Ballroom&LWA. So... |

| Shinsekai Yori vibes written all over this, but in a good way. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Very promising start. Love the SSY vibes. This season of anime is looking to be fantastic. |
| Very good stuff, reminiscent of both Simoun for the characters and general atmosphere and obviously Shingeki no Kyoujin for the universe and script. Will defnitely watch more. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Looks really cheap when it's moving, the background art doesn't work with the characters, it was just all wrong and ended up jarring and ugly with that crappy, cheap layered style. Premise is ok but not very interesting. The only truly good aspect of this was the worldbuilding really. |
ThatCynicalOtaku said: DuoraDoll said: Pretty cheerful considering someone JUST DIED. Anyway, I like it, seems interesting and I wanna learn more about the weird. On that note, I'm kind of hoping this becomes a thing now. Group of people living their lives in a strange land meet a dark skin outsider and than run off with said outsider to explore the world. Both this and Made in Abyss did it and I like it. Am I the only one somewhat suspicious by the fact that the main cast isn't dark skinned? Considering how they're surrounded by sand, it might be safe to assume the weather is extremely hot. And given how they're always outside, in a desert-like place, they should be seriously tanned. I used to be suspicious about stuff like that myself, but stopped worrying about it. People like to see themselves represented in their works, assuming the vast majority of animators, manga authors, and writers are lighter in skin color, it would make sense for the majority of the characters created to also be lighter, with a few exceptions included to add a bit of diversity to the main cast every now and then or something, unless the focus is on a specific area or region where it wouldn't make any sense at all. At least that's what I believe. |

You just described racism Probably true to some extent, but I mean, wouldn't you want to see someone who looks like you as a hero or as someone successful, loved, or strong? That's how I am personally. I'm dark skinned, and I love seeing dark skinned people represented in a more positive light, I often add points just for that. |
| A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| good 1st episode, hope this anime will be popular so someone will be interested to translate the manga. |
| Wow, this was some phenomenal episode first up to start the proceedings off for this show. Hats off to J.C. Staff for such mesmerizing art and animation quality coupled with the great flow to the episode with the world building element similar to that of Shinsekai Yori and Made in Abyss. For now, it's best to keep my hopes down(8/10) for now but I'm expecting great things from this show. |

| This remind me a bit of "Shinsekai yori". Seems like the village elders hide from the others that there's a full world outside and a lot of people. Promising. |
 |
| Very awkward art. The characters don't really have any impressive features. The music isn't that good. The story seems kind of messy, but not in a good way. It's not a bad show though, and I'll be sticking with it. |
 |
| I'm not into fantasy settings, but this series looks really interesting. Great start. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| better than expected. |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| mhhh average somehow original not my cup of tea |
 |
| Imagery is great and the worldbuilding too. Kinda mix of Shinsekai Yori and Gargantia. But I would do without usual anime cliches and chracter quirks, it's ruining the atmosphere. Not that I need wannabe cute animal either. Let's hope it's just the thing of first few episodes before mood gets darker (had the same problem with Seikaisuru Kado). But I will definitely watch this series, it's interesting enough and different from most of the production. |
| wow, plenty of potential show. love the art |
| Interesting premise, the execution feels a bit clumsy. |
 |
| I love the character art and backgrounds, but find the story a bit boring. Also, am l the only one who though Chakuro was a girl from the posters? |
| I didn't expect it all, it was beautiful! Great animation and history, I think I've been able to predict a little the direction it will take... It seems very interesting. |
 |
| Writing is average at best and the characters feel fake but the world seems interesting so I'll give it a shot. |
| I really liked this first episode and it's crazy to me that I've seen no one talking about it anywhere! Anyway, it makes sense for them to want to leave the Mud Whale if that much is being kept secret to them and the elder council seem to be a bunch of old-ways thinking fucks, so fuck 'em |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Man, what a spectacular start. The entire premise is very captivating and it feels like there's a whole world of unknowns ready to surface. I like the attention to detail, even in simple moments such as the penmanship when Chakuro is chronicling their history. It reminds me of Shinsekai Yori meets Suisei no Gargantia. The moment when Chakuro found Lykos was very ominous and sent chills down my spine. It was able to build an atmosphere of danger long before Lykos became hostile. There's a great sense of wonder and mystery on the horizon with this one. |
 |
| Wow this has an amazing setting. Feels so strange but not too over the top. Definitely interested in seeing more from this world. Though I didn't like how fast everything eas happening after the girl came and the release of those criminal-ish guys was just too convenient for the plot.... |
| damn I am in love with the art style |
 |
| A nice start episode of the series. Been waiting for this to get completed. It was worth waiting for it to be done. Stunning and beautiful visuals. Vivid colors. A dystopian setting with adults hiding the truth of the outside world reminds me of Shinsekai Yori. I thought our lives are short, but seeing the 'marked' ones only living until 30 have it worse. An interesting plot and settings that's different from the rest of the Fall series. The stunning visuals are nice to look at. Looking forward for more. |
| as everyone has already pointed out the art on this is truly beautiful just so good to look at, also getting the Shinsekai Yori vibes (however I didn't end up liking that show too much so I hope it branches away from that and creates its own identity further down the line) the plot seems good enough, the elders are clearly holding information, will be interesting to see their adventures! |
| Huh. How interesting. I like the "No contact with the rest of the world" thing they have going. |
 |
| Really wonderful start of this series I must say! Very impressive setting and atmosphere especially that unique art style sure catches my eye! Really looking forwards to see what this series has to offer next! |
 |
| Amazing Art, Intriguing World Concept and some fun moments! So far, so good! I hope it keeps this cool! |

I'm dark skinned, and I love seeing dark skinned people represented in a more positive light, I often add points just for that. What? No, that's not racism, that's perfectly normal. By making the setting a place that should clearly make the characters dark skinned, yet making them look as pale as Scandanivians, the creators are blatantly saying, "Dark skin is too ugly to put in our show, even though it makes perfect sense to do so" Which isn't surprising, given how Asia is known (by anyone with an actual education, that is) for their negative bias towards dark skin. I'm honestly not surprised that I'm the only person complaining about this, since nobody batted an eye towards Magi, though that series was personally offensive because the setting took clear inspiration from Middle Eastern culture, yet refused to make the cast have any dark skin. ✓Am I the only one somewhat suspicious by the fact that the main cast isn't dark skinned?✓ Manga Explanation: But this arc was cut out from anime because second season will not be planned. Main Cast... Is Lykos not main cast? Note: Note two: Note three: anime adaptation films 8 manga volumes with shortening |
