iBreaker Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Oh, man I'm definitely giving this series a go, but unfortunately there's not a single way to access the first episode yet, not even as a RAW (even though it's aired). Hope that by tomorrow some group could release it since as far as I know it hasn't been licensed for simulcast. Although, I usually avoid original translation, but oh well. I see no other way.

Seriously though, if this series proves to be as hype as it seems then yeah, it could be a much better one than H.O.T.D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crunchyroll announced they would be Simulcasting it. In fact as of now there are already rips of that on Nyaa. You posted that 6 hours ago, but the show only aired ~4 hours ago... and Simulcasts are usually a few hours after the fact. Anyhow Crunchyroll's schedule for this is: Saturdays 8:30am CDT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodkiller Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hmm, nothing really special at this stage, but Baobao is best (only) girl at this stage. I like her attitude towards life, people, everything. As the synopsis implies, there are too many people with the same name Story is hopefully going to go somewhere!

Koby Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yeah I was mostly let down with episode one. Didn't turn out to be what I expected, but it does seem to have some hope in the coming episodes. The Japanese voice actors pronunciations of Chinese names sound a bit awkwardly off-putting more often than not though. I get why they have such names, given the source material is Chinese but it just seems unfamiliar and I'm definitely going to have a hard time remembering such names. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodkiller Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Also (Im sure I saw it in the opening credits) seems like this is based off a story of that family? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Well this is disappointing. It's nothing like the synopsis or PV led me to believe. Rather than a be an anime about surviving a zombie apocalypse, it's just another generic shounen-like-style of Super-Powered-Humans and one kid is trying to steal power from other people, including from corpses. It tries to be comedic, but all of the comedy falls flat and it's all hinged on one aspect: the MC being a virgin. I'll never understand why virginity is something to joke about, nor why it should be embarrassing to be a virgin. I guess the fact that I'm not a virgin doesn't let me understand, but still I find this to be a mostly generic story, but the characters are at least somewhat interesting if nothing else. Not great, but at least somewhat interesting. So that's pretty much the only reason I'm not dropping this right now. I really hope it gets better, but I wish they'd have advertised this as what it is instead of leading people to believe it was something else entirely.

I wouldn't say it's embarrassing as such, more like you are different/weird/outcast (>_>) in the eyes of others because of the way society has evolved and beliefs have changed, i.e. now not waiting until marriage or being under the strict law of your parents. As I mentioned the fact that you haven't had sex now makes you look like an outsider and "something is wrong with you" to others*. Not that this has anything to do with the story or this anime. That said, I will carry on watching it just to see what happens - as you pointed out - I have no idea where it is off to now...Standby for further opinions. *personal experience Edited July 17, 2016 by Moodkiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say, if you have nothing better to watch (which you do as far as currently airing anime goes), then pick this up. If you read one post above yours (i.e. what Koby posted) that should give you an answer as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xelll17 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Pathetic Harem MC stuck in a story without an actual harem but with people making fun of him because he's a virgin with a chastity belt or something. Great story guys. The only parts that I liked is the female MC and the animation/choreography during the fight scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yeah episode 3 was pretty dumb. Apparently MC has some sort of 6th sense which goes off when a woman tries to touch his penis. It'll give him some sort of sharp pain telling him the woman doesn't love him or something stupid like that. So he's apparently a virgin for the simple reason of no girl actually being in love with him and he doesn't want to feel pain. This is like the dumbest setup ever.

Haha, I read the line "So that's pretty much the only reason I'm not dropping this right now" as "So that's pretty much the only reason I'm not dropping this right now" - sorry about that. Cant blame me for the way your original post was leading up to it, haha just expected it at the end. The fight scenes are at least pretty good, well animated and intense. Not really any pauses in between for dialogue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
