| Not a bad first episode! I'm surprised that the rating is so low... Perhaps this could be an underrated show this season? Lots of people have commented on the animation, but I don't find it too bad, personally. There are certainly worse examples out there. Not only that, but the colors are certainly pretty. Then again, it's by LIDENFILMS - the same studio that did Koi to Uso - so there's no wonder I find it quite nice to look at. It's a pretty interesting concept, a government ward that deals with the supernatural. Kinda reminds me of Devil's Line from this time last year as it's a little bit as that is quite similar in concept. I enjoyed Devil's Line seemingly more so than the average viewer, so I can't wait to see what this series has in store for us. Definitely intrigued by this. Oh, and the OP? That instrumental I am digging! Can't wait to hear the full version! |
| I really liked this first episode. Great characters and interesting story. Willing to wait what happens in next episode! |
| Those angels are HUGE. |
| A decent first episode, where we got introduced to the characters and show´s concept. Arata seems to be a special snowflake and maybe the recarnation of someone important. Will stay with this and see where they will take it. And maybe it´s just me but I got some shounen ai vibes. |

lihle808 said: Is it surprising? Abe no Seimei was the biggest con artist in Japan history. He also employed a network of spies to perform its tricks and magic.As the busty anime MILF always say Ara ara!! What the hell was this, another Abe no Seimei supernatural anime? |
| I expected nothing, but I'm really glad that I decided to watch it. And soundtrack. Soundtrack is perfect. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| This seems like it's going to be interesting. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| Ohh this is interesting. Was honestly expecting to drop after the first episode, but I actually liked it so far. Nothing amazing, but definitely made me a bit curious about the show. Like other people, I'm really surprised at the low score. |
| I'm interested in anything that reminds me of Shin Megami Tensei but I wasn't a real fan of this so far. Unlike a Kazuma Kaneko SMT game, the character art is pretty generic and not very exciting, except for Seo, who reminds me a bit of 'doctor death' Tae Takami from Persona 5. The animation is not great, being passable but looking very cheap. The Angels are presented as a part of the animist landscape like pixies and Tengu..that's not how this works... I guess I don't mind them being all female and 7 feet tall, but it looks a little weird. The series of reveals are just kinda implausible. Average guy gets a supernatural job by luck basically, so we get the stream of bewildered questions routine to infodump, ok fair enough I guess, but now he's also the Chosen One, the only one that can talk to them? How were these guys resolving conflicts before, with more conflict? |
| A darker, sort of dull Natsume Yuujinchou. Lmao. Decent first episode. |
| Gaybusters, eh? But it was really, really average, really. Seems like the first seasonal candidate for dropping. |
| it was interesting to say the least |
 |
| This anime is actually pretty good though, why the low rating? I'm guessing the Shoujou tag or probably because it didn't have that much of an exposure? Anyway, gonna keep following the series so lets see if I regret this decision. |
| the op is good, and for some reason this gives me a bungou stray dogs vibe but worse so far. also is no one gonna talk about how seo said he used to be british. or are crunchyroll subtitles weird? |

| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| I didn't expect this one could be that good, after looking at the MAL score. For the first part of the first episode feels boring but for the second part it starts to get interesting. That's the type of anime I would like to watch :) there is no need to really trust MAL score. |

| So trash what the actual **** did I just watch, why would you make such a bad anime |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| This wasn't that bad. The animation style is very generic and forgettable and the tengu-angel romance drama reminds me of old Korean and Japanese drama series where two lovers elope and have a Romeo and Juliet kind of relationship. It's cool that the MC can talk to the Anothers. The tengu especially seem to care about the humans and not getting them involved. Still, they DID take their fight to the city so not sure how much they care about humans. Seo looks like a fucking girl, again, these traps. |
| 臭い- |
| Characters are as compelling and interesting as drying paint. |
 |
| I am really impressed. This was very interesting to watch. Unfortunately, doesn't look like many people are giving it a shot... |
 |
| I'm liking this already! |
| This might have potential. I find the slow paced, nearly mundane approach to an urban fantasy refreshing. The laboral and scientific details are a plus in worldbuilding for me. About the character I can't say much yet, but I do like their designs at least. Let's hope they can keep it interesting. |
| I was scared this would just be fujoshi bait with nothing else interesting going for it. I usually don't trust shows with mostly all male casts anymore for that reason. This actually did pique my interest a little though! The whole Abe no Seimei part could probably go, but I do usually kinda like shows with demons, yokai, fae, and such who aren't always trying to kill people or something. It's kinda one of my weaknesses. It could be that this show actually will turn into pure fujoshi bait, but this is fine for now. |
| Bit generic designs and the idea of having a special task force for dealing with paranormal creatures isn't that unique, but seeing them be more like caretakers certainly is a first for me Newbie is someone special, who would have thought that, but this still looks promising |
