The series looks promising. Some stuff were really predictable, while other stuff left me with a "Wait..Did that happen?". At first the MC looked kinda....Disappointing? I'm glad that didn't last long and he kinda changed(hoping for the better). I have read that the manga is a big hit in Japan, so I hope the studio doesn't ♥♥♥♥ it up.

This is most likely(if they don't ruit it) one of the best summer series.

 

[Yuoaman]

I haven't read anything on the manga, but the first episode was definitely the most promising start for any of this season's anime that I've watched thus far. I'm really looking forward to how it develops in the episodes to come.

This is one of the few anime I'm watching this season (along with akame ga kiru and zankyou no terror). Well yeah the MC is kind of a spineless twit at first, but we know that archetype leaves room for character development as the story moves on.

I've read the manga BTW, although only up to 70+ i think (these are the ones translated to english) while the raws end up to 130+.

 

[Raine]

Definitely hope it lives up to my expectation for the series because out of all the summer series, this would have to be my choice. First episode was gruesome to say the least, but nothing that's completely unexpected. Looking forward to what exactly happens to the protagonist :P

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Definitely my AOTS.
95% reason HanaKana
5% reason plot

It actually stole 5% from HanaKana, it's guaranteed epic.

I knew what was coming since I watched the preview/trailer on Youtube, but wow, this looks like my #1 series this season already. Horror is nice. 8)

Another episode of this lovely series, but sadly they REALLY want to censor it as much as they can.

As we saw from the cool opening the MC will be getting an awesome mask, will most likely be used in his Ghoul lifestyle. I haven't read the manga, but I was sure there would be "hunters" for the Ghouls and they revealed them(The white haired dude looks strange yet awesome at the same time).

I am kinda mad that they censor so much of it. The whole show is kinda centered around gore, just let it have the damn gore.

Actually it's centered around HanaKana.
Well... You can always wait for BDs.

I don't know why, but I gotta a little feeling that you like HanaKana.

But yeah I'll just rewatch it when the BDs come out. This series too good just to wait it out for the uncensored gore.

The whitewash censors were an interesting touch.

 

[Yuoaman]

Yeah, the censorship was over-the-top, but I'm definitely going to stick with the series, it does a lot of interesting stuff.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

You must be mistaken.
That is most likely not the case.
xDDDDDDDDDDDDD

The series or the gore? =D

 

[gimmepie]

This sounds promising, I'm disappointed I'm hearing about a lot of censoring though.
Hopefully the characters and plot will make up for that, sounds like it is going to have a lot of elements I'll love.

 

[Xilfer]

Horrifying. Just how I like it. It's been a while since I've seen a good horror anime with actual plot, and this looks like it's going to bring just that. 4/6 of the listed genres are some of my favorites as well.

Tbh I don't mind the censorship. I don't see the point when this anime is clearly going to have tons of it, but it's definitely not gonna keep me from watching this.

 

[Candy]

Everyone I know is watching it while I'm here cringing at all the blood 'cause I'm not a fan of blood-happy anime or movies... or any blood-happy videos actually.

But I'm a fan of blood-happy manga/novels/actually-anything-that's-not-a-video-type-of-media for some odd reason, so I might check out the manga. I don't want to miss out on the fun, after all.

 

[KingRin]

Another great episode! I'm liking every character they introduce. It's nice that the MC is making progress, not like some MCs (The don't change at all, but oh wait! The power of friendship makes him change or some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like that). This MC just adapts.

This episodes had it's funny moments, awesome/badass ones and just making you feel all nice inside. This series is really top 3 of this season.(Along with Aldnoah.Zero and Zankyou no Terror)

So people actually made it past the 5 minute mark, huh?
