Well that has definitely hooked me! It was so peaceful with a hint of strange and then BAM! Shit went down hard! It's giving me Higurashi vibes with a sprinkle of Island (but hopefully this will be better than those two!)

Shin has really pretty eyes, but it looks like he didn't have heterochromia as a kid so I wonder what the story there is.

Classic Toonami-style anime that pulls you in from the go. The fact that this is 25!? eps makes me excited. Cool Bakemonogatari style murder mystery. Let's see what happens. 

Love these Japanese Islanders kill-myth stories.

I have been trying to avoid this show, but watching the first episode, very cool. Nice attempt at creating certain subtle stand out scenes.

Now this is a great start to a show, Im certainly hooked. And pissed that I once again missed a seemingly good show when it was airing. Im really getting out of touch.

When the unnecessary fan-service bits happen it kinda destroys the vibe for me, but besides that it was a perfect first episode.  It really gave me a strong feeling of Higurashi-nostalgia. It's a pity that Disney kept this show behind prison bars.

Shinpei in particular has a strong connection to the story and about a girl named Ushio. Animation quality looks decent so I hope there won't be drops in quality. So far, I see a lot of potential in this show.
For some reason seeing a Kirito (sword art online) clone, which is Shinpei in this case, signals to us that the anime is promising. This is my second "Kirito clone" so far in anime. The first Kirito clone I seen was in Kyuukyoku Shinka shita Full Dive RPG ga Genjitsu yori mo Kusoge Dattara.
I wonder how many Kirito clones there are.

Arima Kousei but he's a murder mystery protagonist.

I continued my Your Lie in April rewatch immediately before seeing this episode and somewhere along the way it made me think, Why does Shinpei sound so familiar?

Really good episode. Its pace it's perfect, fast enough to introduce you the characters and want you to see more but without being too fast. I haven't read the manga so i don't know if it's identical, but this is a really good start for the series.

It was kinda boring at first but it got good towards the end. To be expected since its episode 1 and its setting up the rest of the story.

I have seen couple of shows before but you dont often see such a high quality atmosphere building like this. Looking forward to the next episodes with high hopes now.

Overall the show seems really promising, hope it wont disappoint me. Animation quality is decent, good looking, pacing is just about right...atmosphere got me good there, from an easygoing exotic island with people living their daily peaceful lives the plot suddenly changed to kind of dark detective type of thriller with some seemingly important supernatural elements.

What a great hook! I would've watched this as it aired if not for MAL having that terrible poster set as the default, the show has three better posters!

Already a lot of suspicious things going on.

Random flash of a picture being taken but no-one to be seen.
Ligature marks and police shrugging it of as an accident.
Mio just staring and acting like Ushio is still there at times.
The girl Ushio tried to save also just staring into nothing giving of suspicious vibes.
Shinpei looking for the woman according to the "drunk" even though he claims he wasn't.
Shiori's family being completely gone the next day and Shiori seeing herself from afar.

Seeing an older Mio kill everyone at the end.

Definitely some sort of groundhog day / time travel aspect to it.

Very interesting start, seems like we're gonna find out piece by piece how everything's connected to each other. (Steins;Gate vibes for sure)
I wouldn't be surprised is Ushio killed herself for some sort of reason honestly or maybe Shinpei himself finding out after all the repeats he HAS to kill her for a good reason.

Judging from the MAL picture for this anime I thought it was gonna be a light hearted summer vacation anime ... I was wrong lol.

Also I like the different eye colours on Shinpei, I'd like to think 1 eye is in the past and the other in the future, making him able to repeat after dying.

Mc appearance looks pretty nice ngl
Didn’t even notice his eye color
Odd start to the ep

Guessing what ushio gave him at the start was the ability to respawn re:zero style

Time loop is getting old, but this anime is still off to a good start. Well, it wasn't really about the premise but the way everything unfolded.

Also, I just finished watching Tengoku Daimakyou so it was funny to hear the word 'Hiruko' again.

Okay... I'll write a few things I need to remember here

1. People there only know Ushio died by drowning after helping Shiori.
2. Sou said that there was a possibility that Ushio died of murder, because there was a wound on her neck, and Mio also said that she would not forgive Ushio's murderer.
3. The "Shadow" outbreak there, as well as Mio & Ushio seeing Ushio's shadow 3 days before Ushio's death.

Well this is really odd... if Ushio died because she had seen her shadow, then did Mio and Sou agree to use Shiori's rescue as an excuse? Because they both said something similar, namely murder.

Okay maybe I misunderstood something but honestly this is an exciting start anyway.
