Absolutely, Goro, put your faith in the unstable partner who literally attempted to kill you just the day before. Listen to the advice of your friend Lall. The only person I have confidence in is the reliable Akitsu.

I'm actually shocked, where on earth did Gas Mask disappear to? I was certain they took care of that sucker. It also appears that when Goro harnesses Lall's power, his standing changes accordingly. He might just be the most formidable contender in this warped game.

Mirai Nikki 3.0 (because 2.0 is the Platinum End..)

That comedy scene with the three of them on the stairs was terrible, holy God...

it was a pretty decent episode. the anime isn't all that bad to be honest. look past the CGI. don't be so slow to notice its good sides.

It's one redeeming quality is it's ED. Honestly probably the best jam of the season. That's as much as you can expect from a musician being the main creative lead on the project. I think this show has more producer credits than creative credits.

I've seen great work from Polygon in the past. Drifting Dragons genuinely looks beautiful! Polygon Pictures is a pretty common punching bag for 3D CG critics but it just does not seem fair this time around to blame it on the production team. This is clearly a bad showing even for them.

Add another one to the long list of death game anime that crash and burn before they even start. This genre of anime is cursed. Irredimible maybe...

I wonder if Akitsu is keeping Chika around to thin the herd so to speak. He's got a great power, but it's passive.

Goro's new world karma is twisted enough for everyone to label his as such, and Sawa may have survived the first time around, but him bringing her back to life, she wants to form an alliance with him, knowing that Akitsu...was also a God candidate as well. Not to mention that there're other candidates in school as well. In this case, it's Gas Mask with his Entropy Mask to kill off candidates, which from the trio running away from his flames, Akitsu still goes to face Gas Mask, which Goro is now facing against with Lall's power of The Fool's Sutra.

What is truly Akitsu's deal with his Time Switcher power, defecting from a Rank C to a Rank AAA? It's passive-aggressive power controlled.

Huh didnt think id ever see a mancala game mentioned in an anime. I used to play that a lot.

Being without oxygen wasnt that long so gas mask is fine obviously.

Am I the only one who think that Yutaka Akitsu (aka the white hair boy) look like Shinra from Fire Force?

@phantomfandom Same character designer, the mangaka for Soul Eater and Fire Force, not too difficult to see simlarities.

Somebody just seemingly spontaneously combusted in front of the school, and MC is getting paper balls thrown at his head by bullies a few minutes later lol. I love Yoko Taro to death, but keep this man away from anime.

I want this man deep in anime for the rest of his career. This is interesting.

@EmmyMoomin If I had to choose, I’d rather have a new NieR, but I’m with you on the show’s concept being interesting, at least.

In case you didn’t know there is Nier reincarnation. You should check that one out

@EmmyMoomin Oh yeah, that mobile game. I saw a video by a YouTuber called BrandoSP that explained the story around the time the church thing was going on and hoped it’d come to consoles eventually, but I’d honestly forgotten the game existed until you just reminded me lol. Can’t say I’m crazy about the idea of playing stuff on my phone, but since I’m not doing anything else, I guess I’ll finally check it out for myself tonight after I catch up on my shows. Thank you for the recommendation.

I wanted to watch this show because of Yoko Taro, but I can't, and not because of the CGI. I really hope the full ending comes out soon though.

I don't want to crown this show yet but I'm getting into this a little bit. I really like the animation actually too. Let's see how Goro is handled.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

It's amazing how the smartphone has become the standard tool for Gods in anime and manga, when they want to arrange some carnage. Mirai Nikki, Darwins Game, Kings Game, On-Line, Real Account... there are a ton of them. Love it :-)

hating this anime for its animation is pretty silly because there are so many more valid reasons to hate it instead. like the wet piece of bread of a main character, no explanation to the magic system - and not in the "it's so mysterious, don't you want to figure it out?" kind of way but in a "the characters just know, somehow, but they ain't explaining it" kind of way, frequently attempted yet painfully unfunny comedy, tired premise with (so far) nothing shaking it up. not even going to say anything about the camera constantly hovering just shy of a pantyshot of the red girl in the first episode as if the director really wants to do it but didn't get the green light for ecchi (thank god it didn't happen even once(?i think) in this episode but i'm not getting my hopes up)

the animation's fine, the 3d looks alright, it's honestly the smallest problem this show has

(one good think i'll say about it is that akitsu the yellow character, painfully unfunny as he is, seems to have something interesting going for him and that'll probably be the only reason i will watch ep 3. though, again, not getting my hopes up)

Akitsu... He strikes me as the type to pretend to be clueless but is super strong/smart in secret and that final scene solidified it for me.

Fairy entrance & much of the vfx looks unnecessarily great.
Akitsu's Time Switcher going AAA rank is sus.
Zone, so like domain expansion?
dont like this phone death game genre, but fun & more mysteries so far.

A power that costs your sadness and misfortune is absolutely something that Yoko Taro would do.
This anime reminds me much more of Drakengard than of Nier for its tone. Expecially Drakengard 3.
You can tell that things are going to get VERY wrong in the next episodes.
It totally isn't an anime for everyone, i would suggest it only to huge Yoko Taro fans, the ones that tried to beat the final boss of Drakengard 3 a million times.
