Recently the op song popped up on my feed, and I just wanted to say that it is one of the best anime openings ever existed.
Can't believe I forgot about it completely.

If u want to watch an anime with a relative concept, please watch kokoro connect. Don't waste your watch this one. It's just horrible.

So no need to be connected in a Kizna system so you be actually connected to people. First part of the episode was good but after the bridge scene , everything was fast forwarded as if they trying to speedrun everything. I was hoping for more moments of everyone together, even the last scene felt fast too. Though, its a good watch, it had an interesting concept , but it needed some polishing

Tf did the mc simped for the blue-haired girl? She was in his life like for a fraction of the time compared to Chidori. Chidori deserved better. the pointless drama and Chidori's treatment left a sour taste in my mouth. Ruined the whole anime for me...

Abso-fucking-lutely atrocious final few episodes. I never gave a rat's ass about Katsuhira x Noriko, and a fucking forced Chidori x Tenga pairing as some kind of second place prize for Chidori is horseshit. Not that Katsuhira deserved her anyway. Only thing I remotely enjoyed at the end was Yuta x Honoka. Absolute chore to sit through these final boring episodes. Earlier episodes weren't good mind you, but at least I wasn't bored out of my mind during them. And they did have some amusing moments. But these last few episodes? Well, I only wish I could transfer the pain of watching them to someone else. Oh well, my fault for watching this. 4/10, Trigger should thank Big Order for existing, saved this from being worst of the season.
@animefan8800 you are absolutely right. Honestly I dont understand the reasoning of people who think otherwise...

This was a very heartwarming ending for me as a person who experiences social anxiety and has trouble making friends. It gave me hope and made me feel better about myself.

Good Bye Kiznaiver! It Was A Fun Journey.

Nico is best girl. Nice ending all around, maybe a bit too nice with all the ships going well. Forced is a fitting word. For Chidori and Tenga atleast.. Even though I said that, this show might have been better off without all the side characters. They where all just so one dimensional.. I think Yuta and Honoka actually had the most potential to stand out as real characters but they never did anything with it, Early on I was actually glad they all showed up and kept the show going since Katsuhira is such a wuss. But the MC beeing lame doesnt make them better characters either..

In the end it all came down to Katsuhira and Sonozaki talking it out. So the show might as well have spend more time on their backstory. Though I guess there wasnt much else to be said there..

So the reason the kids turned into vegetables is because Sonozaki just didnt want to "let go" of their emotions? And not because the kizna system was faulty? Damn, thats actually pretty fucked up.
Also why not show the other kids, we had the vegetables, Sonozaki and Katsuhira but not the other 10 or so, might have had more potential than random characters.

I think it would have been nice if the system actually served a purpose in the end, but they managed to convince Sonozaki to trust in real friendship and let it go instead.
Because the system worked, right? Even if you could say they did not become friends just because of the system, without it they would have never talked at all. Atleast most of them.And the real trick of the system would be to make people who dont like each other atleast consider each others feelings more, right? No reason to throw that away.
I mean thats the real trick with friendship, you just need a reason to interact in the first place, repeatedly so.

The start as a survival game where they each had to do missions also had potential but that lasted 2 eps and it never was relevant again..

All around a decent show, not great, not terrible. Very forgettable though. 6/10
Sonozakis smile in the end was incredibly cute.

PS: Even though Darling in the Franxx is claimed to be more of a A1 show than a Trigger show, this seems awfully close to what DITF did with its characters and MC pair just 2 years later.

I wish Trigger would do more of the stuff they did at their founding. KLK was great. Inferno Cop was great. LWA was great (atleast the movie,the show bored me to death). They did Cyberpunk Edgerunners lately which was pretty cool but everything else? Eh..

decent finale, nice to see some happy endings at least
damn Noriko wants to get pushed down and taken forcibly LOL
can't say I'm a fan of the show overall, bit too much loooooooong dragged out childish melodrama, extremely slow pacing, and little to no comic relief, just not a show for me.
first Trigger show I just staight up did not care for, sad!
t'was quite nice to look at throughout, though

Honestly I like this anime but it's 7/10 due to it being short and not exploring the plot more further by not making it a 24 episode anime regardless tho it was enjoyable and short alot of animes that are short are better than the longer ones just saying

You know, at first, I didn't feel the show that much, but as it progressed, I liked it more and more. The payoff was pretty iffy, and the ships felt forced, especially Chidori and Hajime, but otherwise, I'll give it a solid eight.

If I had to pick a favorite character, I'd say, Yoshiharu.

A great show. I have a lot of thoughts to sort through. I'd have to say that the biggest problem with this anime is how short it is. It could have really used a second cour, but at the same time that would have hurt the pacing if done poorly.

I appreciated how they handled all the romances, even if Nico's feelings came out of nowhere. Tenga, Yuto, Nico, and Hisumi definitely deserved their own proper episodes exploring their angst. Yuto and Nico were definitely the least developed characters.

They could have definitely spent an extra episode on Honoka's friend, especially given how much she was forcing herself on Honoka. Like how confusing and traumatic that must have felt. I'm kind of disappointed they didn't end that chapter with her friend being obsessed with making the story come true, and actually writing a mean letter.

I was disappointed at first with Chidori being pushed aside, but I'm a sucker for that kind of backstory. By the end I knew Nori had to win. I would have definitely changed something about Nori's plan though. My original thought was that Katsuhiro lost the ability to feel pain because he chose to take on everyone else's and essentially numbed out. Then there would come an episode where it would unlock and everyone would be floored by all the sadness locked inside. And then Nori could have been another one who still didn't want to let go. Wouldn't have fit the story as well, but quite the missed opportunity as a set-piece.

We definitely needed more Kizna shenanigans, especially once thoughts started being shared. It would have strengthened the theme much more if they realized that empathy worked better than Kizna that way. Like realizing a feeling still exists and lingers even after the powerful start. We needed a whole episode or two when they were kids as well.

The teachers were kind of all over the place. They could definitely have been written better. I get the sense that as the show is structured, it would have been difficult to keep their motivations consistent. One minute their sadists willing to kill for the experiment, and the next they're nice. I think they actually needed another villain with them to properly split the roles. You have the one person willing to do whatever it takes, one person with reservations, and one person begrudgingly going along that ultimately helps the heroes.

I'm upset he didn't pull Nori out of the water at the very end. I felt like Katsuhiro needed to save his girl, but that's minor. I definitely would have changed the ending so that Nori actually started breaking, Katsuhiro connects with her, and over-rides her master link. Then an exhausted Nori could have looked at Katsuhiro taking on the pain of the city and all of her pain, as the talking started to happen, and one by one he lets it all go. At first Nori would feel vindicated, then she'd be scared for him, and then he'd show her that disconnecting wasn't that scary.

I was originally going to give this a 9. The more I write, the more I realize I miss the first cour of Darling in the Franxx. So I'm going to give this an 8/10 instead.

The strongest set-pieces were the death game at the beginning and the confessions in the middle. I really wanted to see more of both.

The ending was fine. But I wish there were more. Im actually shipping for Chidori X Katsuhira. But I don't mind Sonozaki X Katushira. Niko X Tenga too. But the best one is Yuta X Maki.
Overall great show. And the Opening and Ending Song is Fire
