This was one of my two most anticipated anime this season, as the manga is one of my favorite current reads. The manga, while dark (sometimes bordering on cruel), hits all those sweet spots, humor wise (for me, at least). It also keeps dropping small hints to a bigger story behind all the SOL murder.

And I'm pretty damn happy with the adaptation so far. Voice work is spot on for what I had running in my head while reading it. And it does look really good, especially since the manga can sometimes be a little "rough" artwork wise.

Hope the anime keeps it going. Thursday is this season's go to day for me.

You wouldn't expect Shaft to bring their A-game with Yukihiro Miyamoto (a man who's served in various directorial positions across everything from Monogatari and Madoka Magica to Zetsubo Sensei and Arakawa Under the Bridge).


Ahhh that's where the hidamari sketch flavor is coming from.

I thought this season would be a dud for me especially in terms of catchy OPs and EDs, then I saw this anime in the review listings. I checked it out and watched both released episodes back to back. It has my kind of humour and the OP and ED are quite catchy too. Now I don't only have Slime max level to watch this season which I'm only watching because I've read the novels and the lead is Aoi Yuki. Now I can look forward to watching Crunchyroll every week.
