| what a weird show , this sure had a ton of mystery too early to judge but it can go either way we were kinda just thrown into it like our "yuri?" duo so much to be explained. so far i can say i enjoy the music a lot will see if this turns out good or not we need more good mysteries. also the odd use of CGI it's quite minor and doesn't get in the way too much but it's random. |
 |
| It was SO GOOD. It has everything I could want in an anime, guns, yuri, and monster fighting. It was actually pretty frightening which is something I wasn't expecting which is a great thing. I die a little bit every time the CGI shows up but nonetheless it looks really pretty. Overall I'm really excited for this series! |
| The sound effects/sound design was really interisting for me and maybe the best thing from this episode. It's been a while i have enjoyed an episode this much for that.. I have only read the manga so to me i think it was a pretty decent animation, im satisfied within the budget i expected the series to have. And im just happy we are finally experience an anime of it.. The VAs were nice, i'm not familiar with Sorao's VA, and she was pretty refreshing for me. Also enjoyed the opening and ending songs as well. |
| Not gonna lie, this is a pretty bad first impression of the show for me. OST used is great and the premise is interesting but the way its presented is really, how to do I put it, weird in some way. The switching from 3d to 2d models of the characters just hindered my enjoyment more. I hope it gets better by next 2 episodes so I won't drop it. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| I like the two main characters, I like the idea of the other side and the way those monster things look. The switching between 2D and CGI even on the main characters is a little weird and it was only used in some scenes I don't understand why they couldn't have just animated those small scenes in 2D. |
| good thing the protoganist is a character you can cosplay with minimal cost |
 |
| Has potential but I have low hopes for it. Let's see how this goes |

| Wow. This is a bizarre one. But I liked it. In time: Has someone once dreamt with those kind of elevators with multiple buttons going to multiple places? At some moment, it turns into a nightmare and I get drown in despair. I have this kind of bizarre dreaming a lot of times. Seeing a similar scene freakened me out a little, must confess. |
 |
| I like strange and the offbeat atmosphere was really intriguing. The animation wasn't too bad and the two main characters so far are very likeable. I've never watched a yuri before but I'll def give this a go. I'm sure as it goes along we'll get more explanations. I don't expect all the details in a first episode. The only confusion I've got is the judgement people are making already. Let the show breath a little before dropping it. Oh wait there was something I didn't like at all in it and it's that annoying singular snaggle tooth. It doesn't look cute it looks stupid. |
 |
| The CGI isn’t really that bad, this is a COVID times production cmon. it is very much tolerable. |
Kosmonaut said: Having the 5th floor be a normal one, looking similar to the others instead of a dark pit, the lady trying to run to get in and Toriko pressing the close doors button repeatedly, then Sorawo saying 'She was trying to get in' and Toriko replying 'She always try to get in on the 5th floor, but you should never let her in'... would serve two purposes way better: it would show the audience that not everything is as it seems at first glance and it would push the ambience of the show into a more creepy direction instead of a jumpscare-based one. Yeah that change seemed so weird to me. In the anime Toriko closes the door on a monster trying to get in, then says, "You're not supposed to let it in," and it's like, duh? Why would you ever let that thing in? |
| I don't like how it's yuri, and it's pretty boring. SO far I don't like the characters. The atmosphere is bleak but not interesting enough. |
| Went into this after looking at the tags and the poster art and I have to say, not at all what I expected when I saw the Shoujo Ai. The mystery and fantasy elements are surprisingly intriguing and the chemistry between the girls is nice. The setting strangely reminded me of the Digiworld in the beginning, can't put my hand on what it was that made it feel familiar, maybe the electric posts? I'm liking the mystery for now, from what I could gather Sorao needs to acknowledge the presence of those things to manifest. For a trait like that I wonder if the Otherworld is somehow related to the psyche of people. So far so good, they have a pretty decent setting, sounds like the girls will have a nice dynamic so far. The execution and the plot is likely going to make or break this show, curious to see how it'll play out. |
 |
| It seems that this season will be Mondays of Kayanon, nice! About the episode, it was weird and not that engaging. The premise with that other world is interesting but I feel that it lacked tension for the type of show that it is. The small CG parts look weird. They're not in big scenes but being used between fairly simple 2D scenes makes them stand out a lot. The girls are okay, so far I like Toriko more. Overall it was okay, I'm not impressed or hooked but we'll see, it's just the first episode. |
| Good first episode, this seems promising. Gives me slight Shin Megami Tensei vibes. |
ShiroSupremacy said: This first episode is probably a 6.5/10 at best, cause I was personally lost throughout the entire episode. We don't really get an explanation for what the Otherside is, the CGI was PAINFULLY noticeable, and, in general, I felt like I was missing a lot. Overall, not the best start to the season for me. I'll keep it just in case it gets better, but I'm afraid that it might not... Can’t ask for too too much from a first episode. The answers will come... unfortunately the bad CG seems it will stay 😔 |
 |
| That was a good episode, it was pretty intriguing to say the least. Not feeling the main characters much yet, I need to see more of them. But, the premise has potential. I haven't played the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games or read Roadside Picnic, but I know a little of what those are about so, I am looking forward to what this show will offer. Plus it's yuri so that's a bonus. |

| Winter 2021 Anime #2, also LIDENFILMS anime #2, and it's called Urasekai Picnic. Now this is the show I was going to watch instead of Suppose a Kid from Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter town (let's just call it LasDan mates). But I did it and so this is the second, and damn it is more interesting lemme tell ya. Our girl Sorao is trapped in this "Other World" and before she drowned to death, she is saved by Toriko who manages to kill of a being called "Kunekune". They connected and manages to go back again a week later in Urasekai or the Other World. This hits already to me. It has an unsettling vibe and almost a suffocating atmosphere that it was thrilling to watch. We got it here folks, yuri/shoujo ai, sci-fi, mystery, adventure, fantasy, drama, and even fucking isekai, and how they all meshed boggles me. Also the music and BGM is so freaking great. It already manages to invest me by MUSIC alone. Re:Zero 2 pt.2 isn't even out yet and we already got an anime that manages to provide a spooky environment and some thrilling BGM. Overall...yeah THIS STICKS THE LANDING. Yeah the CG elements are not that kind to the eyes but I can manage. This anime has a potential to be something great and hope LIDENFILMS (and especially Felix Film) don't F this up. |
 |
| It was.... Quite boring tbh. But I'll still watch future episodes to see how their story progress. |
| That was a nice start, it makes you want to know more about this world called Urasekai. Tho I hope it doesn't continue to be confusing and explains more about that world, like why does it even exist. We rarely get this type of Sci-fi Shoujo ai that focuses equally on the plot and the relationship development of the MCs. |
| I like the atmosphere and it seems that the characters have good chemistry without it feeling forced. I can bear the CGI but one thing that annoys me is the fact that Sorao has the trash fang... |
NewGenWeeblet said: Nothing yuriness so far lol. I hope their relationship wouldn't go that far. And I really hope that they will explain everything in the next one. It's the only downside of the anime, for me at least. I am 4 volumes into the LN and they still haven "explained everything". We learn at the same pace as the characters (and right now they know almost nothing about the Otherside). Why can't people just watch/read a mystery story and be just as clueless as the characters in the story, how is that a downside? That's part of the creepy, unsettling atmosphere of the story (which the anime failed pretty hard to capture in my opinion). :( And the real yuriness probably won't even happen in the anime if this is a 1 cour anime. I'm just saying this to prevent possible disappointment. I really liked the development of their relationship in the novels and I definitely found it enjoyable but don't expect anything major. First tiny actual romantic bit drops in volume 3 but then volume 4 drops the yuri hammer full swing. ^^ |
| Elevator scene was basically elevator game urban legend. |
 |
| it was a nice change of base to see a Shoujo Ai anime that doesn't have ecchi stuff every 5 seconds story looks good and characters progression looks promising . first of all i know nothing about this Anime so this is only predictable future from my imagination . lets get started :i think all this is only in FMC head i think she went through a pretty tough trauma in her early years and this is her way of dealing with her past to move on from it i also think the blonde girl is just imaginary person FMC created in a way of her trying to ask for anyone's help and in time she will get involved with her even in a romantic way since this is a Shoujo Ai anime right until she helps her to get through her trauma then after that she will know the blonde was only a person she created on her head . there are also 2 other girls in the opening i think one of them might have crush on FMC and the other just want to get closer to her as friend but FMC shut down any kind of human interaction with her so both these girls had it pretty rough trying to interact with her . i think in time FMC will start to get closer to them and eventually will overcome her trauma and say her goodbye to the imaginary person that she created the blonde girl and settle down romantically with one of the other 2 girls while having the other girl as her best friend . if this is how the plot gonna go then this is easily an 8 or 9/10 Anime for me |
 |
| That was as tense first episode. But together my lesbian won and killed the foe The love was in the air. Sorao really like her new girlfriend and want to be with her. When she look at Toriko sparks are flying . Awwwwww you love her don't you honey! My little lesbians are so cute together! They are in love,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES Overall a good first episode. It was more then less what I expected it to be. I give it 7/10 |

| A great premiere,the sci-fi and mystery were done well, tho i have some questions but that will probably be answered in the next eps. Plus great art. Characters, the dynamic of Toriko and Sorao were also done well, conflicts will most likely occur, YURI!!! Op was from Chico with Honeyworks HELL YEAH!!! The Ed was also great. This was shaping up to be one of my favorites this season. |
 |
| after seeing such a low rating, i expected nothing good, so i was a bit overwhelmed by how good it turned out to be. i love the Strugatsky's 'roadside picnic' vibe. i hope it stays as good |

| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| It's very interesting and the mystery is done well |
 |
| Great start. What a creepy soundtrack. It adds so much to the already otherworldly and creepy feel of this anime. No idea who the composer is, but they're doing a wonderful job. |
Wow! This is actually a pretty interesting isekai. I guess they will really die if they die in the Otherside, they're on their actual bodies! Looking forward to see other monsters and the methods that they're gonn use to defeat them.  |
| I love both the OP and ED (anything from CHiCO with HoneyWorks is good to me), the art and animation are also good and we have Kayano Ai as a main seiyuu. All these points are great! Now for the plot... I'm not so sure. Didn't get me invested and actually made me confused. The characters are just okay. I hope we get some explanations soon, or I'll most likely drop it. |
 |
| I think I'm gonna love this anime!!! |
| Letra: Eran las diez de la noche, piloteaba mi nave. era mi taxi un Wolkswagen del año 68. Era un día de esos malos donde no hubo pasaje. las lentejuelas de un traje, me hicieron la parada... |
| op by CHICO with Honeyworks is pretty good. it's kinda all over the place being yuri, psychological, action, sci-fi, mystery??? all in one ep? let's see where it goes. ok series so far. it's not generic but it doesn't particularly excel either. |
 |
| What did I just watch? I hate the switching between 3D and 2D. It looks awful. I'm a bit confused on what the story is supposed to be, but I g u e s s I'll give it another episode or two. |
