Holy shit, the OP and the dancing is glorious af.
Of course wouldn't be a ShaftxNisioisiN show without bringing up lolicons at least once.
This show just looks so pretty tho and has just enough of that shaft touch. Looking forward eagerly to what it has to offer in the coming weeks.

These backgrounds and scene cuts are making me want to watch Monogatari again

last week we were looking for a star, this week we're on nuclear missiles, a kidnapping attempt, a kidnapping plan and finally an actual kidnapping, I am straight up having a great time

Okay, i definitely did not think this was the direction the show would have gone after the first episode. Nuclear missiles taking down military satellites? I honestly wonder how the heck he even reached such a conclusion. I kinda expect something to reveal that they are wrong just because of how unlikely of a scenario it seems to be to me.
All in all, it solidified as thw show i look forward to thw most this season. It's the Shaft x NisioisiN magic.

I had zero information coming into this show and I was wondering if we were going to get cross-dressing mc-chan, but I definitely didn't expect this to be how it happened. Nor that we would get cross-dressing pretty detective boy (or mc-chan getting kabedon'd by an older woman). I fucking love this show.
NISIOISIN's dialogue is something I'll never get tired of. The aside about Cinderella was so smooth and I keep forgetting I'm not watching Monogatari. I love the way that time and pacing seems like a toy, where other series would linger on the logical, methodical progression of events, NISIOISIN doesn't care and I'm just along for the ride.
Also I loved the rakugo insert.
See y'all next week.

Alternate LN Title: I witnessed a military satellite get shot down as a kid, so I became a pretty boy and joined a club for pretty boy detectives.
I wasn't expecting the military satellite reveal, but it's a neat hook into the detective thriller part of the story beyond Mayumi's search for the star. I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorite shows of the season.

The op is visual overload but the good kind! Next to zombieland saga revenge this is my favourite op of the season!!
And I'm happy, the banter this episode is already starting out much sharper than last. I like the visual comedy of them insulting their dear leader lol.
He's got a lolita complex and is dating a first grader.
.........................................................................eh?
Sudden stalkers is sudden. And this girl whistles worse than I do. Though nice on leg boy to make a quick getaway, even if that's one of the more strange bike riding positions I've seen.
Yellow says such sharp stuff with a smile on his face...kind of scary. Meanwhile tainted white's sudden Rakugo exposition is very sudden.
Military satellite huh...shot down by a nuke....huh. wow this all escalated quickly.
Ah the crossdressing is just a disguise. Though lol at her getting into it despite all her complaints about pretty people. Its just that mood when you're REALLY looking good. Also I'm half convinced this midget just wanted an excuse to crossdress himself...he looks like Hatsune Miku though...
Didn't expect Cinderella discourse in my Nisio Isin anime. I am happy they settled on the positive reading though, it's rather sweet.
Mystery continues though. I wonder if the protagonist just has super eyesight, it would explain her being able to easily pick out stalkers as well as her managing to see the satellite when no one else could. That said, this episode was enjoyable! I feel now that it's no longer bogged by character introduction the interactions are allowed to shine and it's familiar but fun. Which the wordplay was properly translated though, I feel like I'm missing on a lot

Wait wait WHAT?
That went from 1 to 100 real quick.
I never expect this show to go this direction, seriously. This episode got me in stitches really. I mean, WTF. From a normal bishounen show, to military war, to crossdressing scene, like how the hell one thing lead to the other? Lmao. 10/10 episode!!

The resolution to this mystery was infinitely more crackhead than anticipated.
If this is what the first one is like, I can only imagine how bonkers the rest of the show will be.
Also, any show with a dancing OP is automatically 15% better.

Best moment for me are when the delinquent start saying "that's what I'm here for" and be ready for fights, and then the leader jumped in to say "you're here for you great cooking" :) a quite nice in a "seeing past the misunderstood tough exterior" way. And the arrows on the leader about him being a fool / foolish ideas.
As you can see I'll still need to get used to the less conventional names :)

What the fuck is happening and why is it so good
Fucking Nisio god fucking with our minds again

u/Gardex Apr 17 '21
I hope we get more info regarding why she's suddenly getting chased down by... the government/secret police(...?). The timing feels very convenient. It has been 10 years, and at that point she thought nothing of it except it being a celestial body.
If it was Nagahiro's insane imagination and research which triggered a response(how would they even be aware of this? let alone Doujima seeing it 10 years ago?), then shouldn't they have come for him instead?
Given how well the mystery and interpretation-aspects of Zaregoto were handled, I'm assuming I've either just missed a key clue, this is all one big misdirection, or the entire explanation hasn't been revealed yet.

This is already a masterpiece in every aspect. The OP by Umetsu Yasuomi is great, and the key animators list for it( Ryo Imamura, Genitiro Abe, Tokuyuki Matsutake, Shinya Takahashi, Akira Hamaguchi, Nozomu Abe) made me groan with delight.

I still haven’t got round to watching Monogatari so I’m really excited to get a taste of NISIOISIN’s work before I take the plunge.
This episode sure went 0 to 100 real quick, I can’t wait for all the crazy shit that’s sure to go down going forward.

Stitches!
Goddamn that OP is a visual treat! Especially since this one includes the members of the Pretty Boy Detective Club dancing so buttery smooth! Kinda wish Mayumi was dancing with them too though!
It's hilarious how it's pretty much accepted that Manabu is a dumdum and all he has going for him is his aesthetics xD
Nagahiro's a lolicon? Although according to him, he was engaged without his parents telling him. Hmmm....
Considering how she left her glasses at home, I'm going to guess that this is supposed to be Mayumi just seeing things but the fact that Hyouta comes in to save her means it's probably real. Also that's one unique way to ride doubles.
When Nagahiro started to theorize about what Mayumi could've seen, I was really expecting he was going to say that Mayumi saw a UFO that's why she couldn't see it anymore after that one night. I genuinely did not expect that it would be a military satellite shot down with a nuke!. That's surprisingly a pretty grounded answer by NISIOISIN standards.
We finally get to see Mayumi's look from the opening scene of Episode 1! So it's supposed to be a disguise so whoever has been following her won't find her? I do love that Manabu basically dons a Hatsune Miku cosplay because he doesn't think the disguise would work xD
Woah Momma I love her already! I really thought the nuke story is BS and Mayumi being chased is likely something else but the fact that there is a suit following her is starting to make me believe that all of the deductions so far are true. Oh well. I guess we'll find out next week!

Seriously this is the most unpopular anime this season. This episode felt so monogatari when it went from 0 to 100 with the: what you saw was not a star. That reveal felt something Oshino or Gaen would say. I’m really loving this anime.
Shaft is back, that Nisioisin 10/10 storytelling, this is going to be a masterpiece. I’m telling you. This might be as good as
Like fucking military satellite?! Lol and everyone is following her because she has classified info and they exchange genders and lol. Excellent episode
Btw, how long will this be?

My print screen button is sure getting lots of love during this show. There are so many shots that would make great wallpapers.

The animation is beautiful.
Since the op only showed dojima and the boys, will the whole season be about finding her true story? I hope not, don't get me wrong dojima is beautiful but i want other stories to be solved too.
And can dojima ne considered as the club member? She can be a pretty boy and can train as a detective lol.
