| Chronically online, the anime. Looks like Tougen Anki will have some competition for the most mid battle shonen I’ve ever seen award because holy shit what is this 😭 saw first ep as part of CR’s sneak peak event tonight, it was an unannounced addition and I wish they’d have kept it out tbh. It’s a somewhat interesting premise that serves as a social commentary for how much of our lives we give to social media and our phones, but the MC is just so cringe and I couldn’t take anything seriously even with Akarin’s death and her ghost haunting her LINE. Wanted this to end way faster than it did lmao. Animation is mediocre, Aoiringo is going to annoy the hell out of me I can tell and it generally just feels like a very subpar show. Taking bets for over under 6.3 on MAL lol |

Is it hella generic in some aspects? Yeah lol but it’s still pretty charming as the series goes on. I def recommend checking out the manga if you haven’t already. I think what’s going being meh with the series is that the animation will be ass. I’m not checking this out dude the manga has a 6+ which is extremely low considering manga fans rate on a curved scale. Also annoying is subjective, you can like him, but he’s extremely annoying. |

| @Marinate1016 Read a few chapters and don't let someone else's rating decide that. You might miss out on something charming. Just read the first chapter and the story does rank for a 6. |

| Anyone remembers the harrowing nightmare that was last Summer's Necronomico no Cosmic Horror Show? Forget that, because mangaka Shizumu Watanabe has you covered with this show, which is pretty much the same thing Necronomico is, but better. Haru Igarashi's OP is fairly good, even fairly competent at that. The persona of online streamer Aoringo being pretty much labelled as an online troll, though in reality, it's high schooler Soji Enishiro raking in the money to help his ailing sister Akari who's stuck in the hospital for medical reasons, and is someone who is for better words, kind-natured and family-loving. It's only when others try to get in his way, like a boy of his mage armed with quite the sledgehammer to cause hurt, though even his lil' sis death is also fake as well...? For a while, Soji didn't believe in his sister's death, until his replies with her on LINE captured her reply, be it in her ghostly affair that the siscon will not let go of. And as it turns out, Akari isn't real either, it's a figment of a Dead Account that the young man has to exorcise with the help of his smartphone before his very eyes. And with him being held back by Soji not wanting him to destroy Akari's figment, the latter has to accept the fact that his sister is not the same, now as a ghoul. Soji fighting back Blue Exorcist style with his smartphone, knowing full well that he would never see Akari again, and the agency of which Kukuru Kasubata comes from, they sure have quite the case on their hands. Miyu Kaneko's ED is vibes. Interesting series to boot, since I've been wanting to read the manga for quite some time. The anime will serve as a good bridge for this. |
 |
| Exorcism with a very modern twist?! interesting idea, definitely looking forward to learning how everything work. For the first episode it's pretty tragic...  |
| Oh it's finally here. It was pretty enjoyable and Kukuru is so cute as expected www i likes the OP & ED. Can't wait for next ep~^^ |
| This hits hard, reminds of blue exorcist, tougen anki but with ghost like denkin no Mogura or dark gathering and dead social media accounts like kumiko aso Japanese drama dele. But it was heartbreaking to see akari suffer from illness, during surgery and also in death. May she rest in peace now, poor little girl.. |
| This is just Digimon but with ghosts. We got the title drop and meaning 5 seconds in lol. Was obvious what was gonna happen but still got emotional with the sister death. But this is just your typical shounen and has dialogues on the level of tougen anki from a season back. The black guy already feels annoying, specially with zero communication skill. Mc looks and acts like Asta from black clover. OP/ED were both meh, ed visuals were nice though. |
 |
| That smartphone doing its Nokia ancestors proud by taking a full sledgehammer blow though (even if it needed a dead sister haunting it to do it) |
| whew! that was... SERIOUSLY heavy and tragic for a first episode! :O i dunno if i'll keep up with this one, but for a first ep that was good work! i think it'll need 'The Three Episode Rule' to make sure this premise can hold up or if it falls flat. |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
HelloBaoziBuns said: @Marinate1016 Bizarre how many trolls MAL now has. So much so, you just can't take the ratings seriously on here anymore, with unusual and well-produced anime in the new season getting slammed in the ratings while the same teenage-boys-wet-dream crap we get every season gets massively overrated. First episode was excellent -- unusual premise, very fluid animation, pretty art style, cool protagonist and well written. Superb voice acting as well. Very interested to see where this goes. Good thing there’s no trolls here? Trolling is when you don’t like my cartoon! You can like your show all you want it doesn’t affect me. I explained why I didn’t like it in my write up? |
|
| No one that made this has ever picked up a sledge hammer in their life. Complete trash. |
| Can I copy your homework, yeah just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious. People already commented on that this took inspiration from many other series, but I also got strong Demon Slayer episode 1 vibes from how desperately the MC was clinging to his sister, who turned into a ghost and the guy targeting her. To be fair, the social media aspect is at least fresh and fitting this era. Putting aside originality, problem with many modern shounen is that they're way too fast paced and that they're trying too hard to start with a bang. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| So eye-rollingly bad I'm dropping after one episode. I enjoy watching trash for the charm of it, but this has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Wild to see so many people defend it lol. |

Shit was a snooze fest I was so excited when they announced an extra episode and then it ended up being this 😭 |
|
| So this was a very mid episode. Souji was annoying for most of the episode. He redeems himself at the end a bit. I wonder what’s the count for the amount of times “onii-chan” & “Akari” were said. This will be a maybe for me. |
 |
| My tears go down with the sister :< that was sad. And with the rating. I stopped caring too much. If I see an interesting anime and have 6 in score, I will still give a try. In here you should not care about rating. |
 |
| Seems interesting, at least I like the innovation of digital ghosts and digital weapons to exorcize them. The episode itself was a bit sad for me, poor imouto... In the end, it seems like it'll be like most shounen are, but let's see! |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| Man, that was lame lol. Dropped. |
| The twist about the sister being dead was interesting but really short-lived. Everything else so far, not so much. Hoping the action has more to offer, visually. |

| Really loved the premise and the episode. I don’t know why it’s rated so low, but I would NOT wish what Souji went through on my worst enemy. It reminds me of Nube, except this time, instead of a teacher protecting students, it’s students protecting the world. I’m interested to see how it unfolds. |
| Not bad, not really what I was expecting though, kind of sad and depressing. |

| Can't help but think of Zanka from Gachiakuta when I look at Kukuru. But really not what I expected from this, didn't think Dead Account was meant literally. I did enjoy it though, even though a lot of it was a bit cringe to be honest, but not enough to out me off just yet. |
