Re:Monster looks brutal after first episode. A lot of blood, larvae and human rights violations. I will keep watching as an anime only.
Just wanted to provide an update here that the episode 1 discussion thread for Re:Monster has been created here. There was an issue with the bot where it thought that episode didn’t air until Thursday. I am not sure exactly what happened, but it looks like the following episodes are scheduled correctly.
I’m trying to update the thread, but even if I click “save” the changes do not go through. Any idea why?
[Also, thanks for pointing out the new disc thread!]
This has happened to me before and I resolved it by selecting a language. Relevant meta post.
I might check out Re:Monster tonight. I thought I wouldn’t have time this season for it, but this early in the season, not all the shows I am planning on watching have started up yet, giving me some time to sneak it in. I have read a good portion of the manga and I am frankly not expecting too much. I do expect that there will be some controversy with how human lives are treated in the beginning of the series.
Others I have watched and have more thorough comments in their respective threads are:
- Tsukimichi - I am still enjoying Tsukimichi and the new OP/ED is fun (and the ED is spicy). However, they tease story events that happen pretty far into the future. So, I am expecting either some cut content from the source or some story rearrangement like what happened in season 1.
- 7th Prince - Episode 1 pretty much met my expectations from reading the manga. Lots of fan service (shota included), and some pretty visuals. The manga is quite popular for its artwork (especially later in the series), so I was curious to see how a newer, unproven studio adapted the stunning visuals of the manga.
Re:Monster: I also expect some controversy, as a lot of people don’t get that it’s fantasy (and one within a “dog eats dog” world.) The manga feels repetitive after some time but the most interesting part is the beginning, so I think that it’s worth watching it.
Overall I liked the pacing, and that they kept the “day ##” template from the manga.
TsukiMichi: my bet is that they’re doing bits of both cutting and rearranging - the story is good, but there are some parts that are simply better skipped as unnecessary. What I am excited the most is that they might develop further a bit of the WN

when Makoto eventually gives up his status as “permavirgin MC” and return both Mio and Tomoe’s affection. For me it’s that threshold that says “now he sees himself as part of that world, and willing to create deeper bonds with people there”.
I’ve just watched Tensei Kizoku. The related manga series is no masterwork, but it’s fun; and the animation kept its “childish hopefulness” mood really well. And it delivered well the points behind Ars meeting Rietz:
- the prejudice against the Malkan
- Rietz being grateful to Ars for saving him from famine, and trusting him
- the test not being for Rietz’ fighting ability, but also for Ars’ talent recruitment one
This another show that leaked early? I saw your comment and quickly started trying to figure out what broke the bot and why a thread wasn’t posted. There should be a thread made on the 7th by the bot when the episode officially airs.
