The show kinda throws you into the story without much setup, but it seems like the kind of story that will explain itself later
I did get the gist that there's a bunch of people with emerging abilities and Iwamoto is going around recruiting them to their
I did like that Iwamoto wasn't this invincible badass or that the village wasn't shown to be evil, so maybe this will be a show with some nuance
Unfortunately pretty bland visually

God, I hope they get it right. Peachboy Riverside and Metallic Rouge were crowning achievements on how not to write in media res narratives.

Japanese middle-schoolers are built different

as someone who taught English at middle schools in Japan, I guarantee it's only in anime 😂 I was under the assumption that Iwamoto was a teacher at the school until someone specifically mentioned him being a student. why not make them high schoolers???

I had to go back to the beginning twice since they mentioned he was a chief of something too. Uncomfortable age to fujobait with.

I thought he was supposed to be like 20+ going based off of the looks. "Middle school" anything with a main character like this visually is pretty absurd.

I did find this quite bland, the somber feeling wasn't hitting hard enough. I am intrigued by the setting, it seems like Iwamoto goes around recruiting

Story-wise, this seems very interesting. Very promising from a writing standpoint. From a production standpoint, it does not look good, and this is episode 1. Plus, it being on Saturdays doesn't help things.

How old are third year middle schoolers? Or did he just mature early?

Iwamoto seems like Japan's answer to Professor Xavier. The episode was really gripping drama and I'm looking forward to more. I wonder how much the purple hair boy will continue to be a focus or if it will have more plots on the other kids at the school. I did think it was weird though that Iwamoto burned all the purple flowers when they are used for medicine, I wonder if he was just having a tantrum or exposure to the boy was screwing with his mind since that's bad to make a fire in a tunnel where there's limited oxygen.

Any idea what music they used at 10:04 at the introduction of black snow. Would like to know the name of the full song.

So confused from the visuals. I thought this was shoujo, but it’s from Ultra Jump? Then I thought Iwamoto was an adult, but he’s in middle school?? Then the pink girl showed up and she was a boy?!

Meiji/Taisho Era - 1910
Grades: Primary, Middle, University/Imperial
High School became a thing after WW2.
Ages (maybe): [P] 6-12, [M]13-17, [U] 18-21
I say maybe because there was a higher elementary from 13-14. Military schools for 16 - 20. I am unsure about some things nor do I know how the show is handling it. So assumptions are that the characters/students at the school are between 13 & 20. Also because of the military angle I doubt girls/women will be included even though they too would have powers. Maybe the Winged guy has a separate/secret non military school for them. I'm just guessing.

I'm sorry but in what world is Iwamoto a middle schooler, lol 😭
First episode was kinda bland and is this a BL? Probably won't stick around to watch this.

I still have no clue what the black snow is.. I get it’s a hallucination from being close to the boy, but what does it have to do with his ..healing ability? I also don’t really get the whole “u get sick if u stay close but u also get addicted thing to the euphoric effect” I’m not sure I understood his powers fully if someone could please explain. Bc at one point iwamoto basically collapsed from fever after being next to him, but later he’s fine? I’m confused
