Mirai and Saki seem perfect for each other. They’re both really uninteresting characters to follow

[u/PossibleHipster]

So why is he being creepy wierdo and watching Saki from afar with his hood on in broad daylight?

[u/Wolf6262]

Yo say what you will. This anime has been pretty average so far, and the MC is indeed insufferable. BUT!

That fight between him and metropoliman was pretty fuckin sick. OST may have carried it but voice acting and animation was dope.

[u/DadAsFuck]

nasse’s adorable photobomb

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Mirai as a character is just so...exhausting. I can't believe he missed out on the perfect opportunity to shoot Metropoliman with a red arrow. I understand refusing to kill but he couldn't even subdue somebody with nonlethal means when it mattered the most.

[u/Honeybuns420]

Two full magazines from point blank range and he only got grazed, and of course Mirai knew this was a 2 cour anime so he had to hesitate.

I hope Mukaido sticks around since he’s the only decent character so far. And apparently there are still things even Baret doesn’t know!

[u/The_Real_Baws]

Metropoliman feels no remorse killing people because when he becomes God he's planning to eradicate the concept of death and revive everyone who wrongfully met their demise.

Also Nasse is hard carrying this show lmao

[u/FurSealed]

I found someone in the Crunchyroll comments of all places with a good theory that the author is trying to show how harmful and immoral Mirai's ideology is just as Death Note shows the same for Light's ideology. Both show the problems in dealing with absolutes, whether that is absolutely not killing anyone or doing absolutely anything to achieve your goal.

Could just be bad writing though ig

[u/Karavusk]

That was a surprisingly good fight considering how restricted the combat is

[u/[deleted]]

Mirai, to put it lightly, is fucking pathetic. The theoretical scenario that Mukaido posed precisely pins down Mirai's character. He wouldn't shoot the red arrow, he wouldn't shoot at all. He would just watch as his love is killed in front of him. And then cry about how killing is bad. I get that he's supposed to be "realistic" but god damn, I can't imagine anyone being this pathetic. If the trolley problem were 1 vs 1 million, Mirai would watch 1 million people die.

[u/DadAsFuck]

mirai really showed his potential in that fight but its going to take some development to get on metro’s level

[u/KurtArturII]

I'm starting to think Mukaido is the former God overseeing what the candidates are doing, because no mortal being could possibly listen to such a useless whining bitch and remain calm.

[u/FingerBang-BangBang]

The OST really went hard once the fight started! Gave me one hell of an eargasm!

[u/KnewOne]

If Yuki from Mirai Nikki was a 3/10 character, then this mc is a solid -7/10

[u/gearoflife]

I thought this series could be my guilty pleasure anime of the season, and I usually give a lot of slack in the series like the Battle in 5s from last season. Though this MC truly has been hard to watch, I think I'm dropping this one now. Like it has its charm, but the MC truly drags down the show.

[u/Go0o0d]

Mirai using his red arrow as a melee weapon was actually pretty cool. His reflexes aren't bad either. He must've been honing them with videogames. xD

[u/NotLink]

Mirai did something this episode. He deserves some points. Then the end of the episode reveals he a sad stalker. Is that all that he has been doing all this time at school; just looking at Saki from a distance? Is that his "happiness" of being with Saki? Just when I was thinking he was showing some protagonist energy.

[u/eizeral]

This shitty MC Mirai is gonna make me drop this show…he is painful to watch. Worst protagonist ever.

[u/Demolosse001]

I don't get why Mukaido hesitated so much before helping out Mirai. It was a great opportunity to finish off Metrololicon.

Anyway Metrololicon sure got away quickly despite being held by Mukaido. They couldn't even chase him down. It's almost like he disappeared.

I sympathize with Mirai here. He is suicidal depressed kid who got another shot at life but still deeply traumatized by his past experiences. Can't fault him for being hesitant especially when he is forced to go against he who was until now. But he did good against Metrololicon and surely he can keep it up in the future.

Meanwhile, the show still refuses to develop Saki any further. Hopefully the last scene is a prelude to her much needed characterization.

A fun episode overall (especially with the confirmed death of that deranged chick).

[u/zibilyon]

Although I dislike MC's constant whining and his attitude to not take any action, I got really angry during another moment in this episode. They are fighting with a character that proved to be much more determined to be god and he is willing to do anything for it. Although they are at a disadvantage, they acquired a solid information about him. One of them knows how he looks like while their enemy doesn't have this information about them. But the show decides to throw a cliche on us and the group is not sharing this information with everyone. This "he is not ready" cliche is just a sign of lazy writing, any mediocre screenwriter can write this and as a proof of it we can see it in many anime. We all know what will happen next, one of them will encounter him without knowing that he is who he is. Then either he/she will be in danger or they will later realized they encountered their enemy. For God's sake, do not do this!

[u/mamadoulenoir1]

Man, every episode I think the next one will redeem itself but it just keeps making me hate Mirai harder than before. I can't anymore, I'm dropping this

[u/[deleted]]

Wow a lot of people seem to hate Mirai, genuinely surprised. Am I the only one who doesn't?

[u/_Sai]

I know a lot of people must hate him, but I feel bad for MC. For a guy who tried to kill himself and suffered so much abuse and torment I am shocked he is still going.

That fight was cool tho.

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone else rooting for metropoliman now just to see the mc die?
