| I really disliked these last couple or episodes. It was so melodramatic and pushing on the same issue while slow paced as hell. |
| Season 2 please come soon |

| Did she actually just ask him if he was ready to return to "hell"? Describing living with two hotties and a genius while studying is "hell"... what kind of view is that lol When I started this show I did not expect to feel relieved when it finished, but now I am. I really enjoyed this show until they skipped to the future and spent way way too much time there. While I could identify with the protagonist in the first few episodes, soon he became too perfect and his harem of three girls certainly did not help. The ending felt really lacking as well, it feels like he did not really solve anything either. I guess I'll give this a positive score since I enjoyed the start so much. 6/10 |
| the story might as well have never happened at all; Don't you love when authors do that? Oh and by going back and undoing things he essentially killed his daughter with the blue haired girl, since he unmade her existence - but hey few people making better manga is worth the cost of his wife's happiness and his daughter's life, right? I stopped reading after that. |

| i need a second season so bad MAN IT'S NO GAME NO LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN |

| my conclusion on this anime is - i hate kyoyai. really, just pure hate. lets leave aside that he have a "happy life". he told keiko that he needs to "say goodbye". in other words: he went to hanging out with naoshiku and his own daughter. and naoshiku actually regained her likeness to draw art!! those moments of happiness so hit me in the heart, that i believed in the morning he will tell keiko "i prefer staying here". but no!!! he prefer going back to his college days. and guess why? "i want to experience that happiness with everyone again". he made it sound as a "good" thing, but all i here is some adult guy who just wants his youth back. for that you demolished your happy wife and children? seriously? what the hell? i seriously couldn't stand this guy and the anime, i actually stopped the video. and went to do other stuff, better stuff, important stuff, than watching this good for nothing guy. only later i got back, and i try to actually care for what i watch. but the ending of the anime wasn't the best, and left with bad taste. i'm glad that he guided nanako for more independency and all, but nashiko just went for her block. so really, what was good in going to the past now? huh? and there was that ending with tourajirou, that ended in kind of cliffhanger. not that i cared much to be honest, since i actually agree with torajirou's thoughts in episode 8, kyoyai is truly dumb. in the end, this all anime wasn't important at all, since all his actions can somehow be deleted. i just hate when they do that. it reminds me platinum end, but that was way better in some ways. the only characters the i liked the most in this anime, apart for nashiko, was kwasegawa, and i truly wouldn't care for a spin-off with her. just leave kyoayi out 6/10 for the anime mostly because it surprised me middle way in episode 8. without that, 5/10 |

| Yeah... Time Travel Done Right . Any Idea On S2 ? |
| I felt that the 'present' episodes were tacked on and didn't make much sense. It should have been Kyouya in 2007 all the way. |

| Feels like another self-insert teenage show in adult clothing. MC is sooooooo annoying. About a third of the way in I realized the show is basically all 1) dialogue (mostly MC conversing with another character) or 2) monologue in between dialogue. Hardly a moment goes by without the MC speaking. There were even times when MC would monologue WHILE someone else is talking. In retrospect it makes sense: the whole story is basically a visual novel, with multiple routes (bad end initially, then start from beginning, hit one girl's ending, now he's loaded a save point for another route) and the constant mono/dialoguing. Original writer did script for Grisaia anime and scenario for a route for the Grisaia VN after all. It's also incredibly facepalming how the MC wants to, essentially, help everyone in Platinum Generation succeed... except, well, everyone was succeeding WITHOUT his help in the first timeline. Ultimately it boils down to MC envying other's successes and wanting a piece of that. What sunk the story is just how shallow it feels. I thought MC's central conflict was the desire to do something, to make something of his life (completely relatable); but by the end it ended up being: he's too good at what he does and everyone else is intimated by his ability or lost without his help, so now he has to tone it down and nurture everyone else. The time travels don't help. He gained a loving wife and daughter instantly in the forward time skip, then he lost it all, without any heartbreak or regret, in another backward time jump. The highs and lows feel so effortless and forgettable. |

| This isn't even a cliffhanger... Cliffhangers have setups for maximum tension... This is like as if a book was ripped in half and story just abruptly stopped This is like a forest of loose ends If anything if they should have ended the story at the Pink Girl bringing her hand down... At least that ending would have been one of like "He now understands, and he can go back to his time with satisfaction in his heart" |

| @tsog This is all really well said and I agree with it! It's pretty clearly implied that the reason why the Platinum Generation ended up failing is because of his 20 years of professional experience made the Platinum Generation feel inadequate... The writer guy straight up said that he felt he could never catch up to MC and they made it clear that Blondie was becoming toxically dependent on him... The show wants to play off 20 years of professional experience as not having a massive cheating advantage just because he didn't buy Bitcoin or something I was honestly expecting that he would travel 2 years back in time, to fix his original life with new determination... Essentially Christmas Carol style... Since he was able to experience the Ghost of the Past and Future, he can now fix his present... But I guess he gets to truly cheat after all XD |

| The show started out pretty well, but it lost me after episode 8. As far as the time traveling genre goes, this is definitely at the bottom of my list. |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| He could have stayed in the future, since everyone but Tsurayuki got sparks in the end. Or did he want to be with another girl? Well, in principle, he could return to the present, he wanted to work with legends anyways, and now he has to sweat so that these mfs do not tilt from his gigachadness because of 10 years gap, don't understand why he has to return, that loli time-bending manipulator probably wants to see different iterations of future I think and how changes in the past affects it, well in general anime is very good. It's like Steins Wicket on crack, redhead and bluehead look exactly like their prototypes are Makise and Mayushi, too bad they forgot to add mad scientist, all we get is stupid mc-kun instead lol. |

| So that's where he dropped the title. Anyway, this anime felt very ordinary to me, but the last few episodes were actually quite interesting. The part where meddling with others' independence can affect their confidence and potential. And it's not like the MC was doing it because he knew the future, he just did it without an intent of cheating his life. |
 |
| I felt this series was really entertaining from start to finish, but can't help feel irritated by the way things went from the second time travel: somehow he managed to blend into his future life despite having no memories, but for what they said, he lived as zombie a-hole hellbent on making games; but as for its description it felt as when Adam Sandler entered autopilot when forwarded in time on that Click movie: nothing on the mind, just plowing ahead. It could have worked better if the second time travel was only a glimpse into the new future, instead of just changing the setting and do kinda more of the same. Dunno, this ending left me with mixed emotions, it was good, but also bad and also the MC felt as an a-hole, but a good hearted a-hole. |
