Watched the first episode of the anime for the first time and it wasn't bad. I have some criticisms but whatever I enjoyed it and am looking forward to more.

In regards to the most recent chapter of the comic it looks like Evankhell is warming up. Considering Evankhell is in the top 100ish I have a feeling we have barely seen anything yet. Also Kallavan showing up so early is surprising.

I watched the first episode and it was okay. I really shouldn't have read the comments though.

It was to be expected after the flame power asked Evankhell to please not die. Now it needs to migrate hosts again, Baam's probably to hoover up another power source.

Rak seems to be one of the ancients himself at least as far as I can tell from the translation? It's a pretty bad one it seems

I'm liking the min-max sniper.

It was a joy to watch Shibisu's animations, it seems like the production team is having fun with the adaptation doing things that you can't really convey in still images.

Shibisu has definitely been the biggest winner of the adaptation so far. Anak being a close second.

I recommend watching it in the Korean audio, I now understand why Rachel was translated as Lahel early on - phonetically that's what it sounds like in Korean. Also, the Japanese dub cut the bass mix's throat as there's a lot of interesting use of the low-end in the original audio that simply wasn't there with the dub.

Bam is a redeemer. He saves people even if he doesn't realize what he is doing at times. Whether from dangers or from themselves.

Nealy everyone Bam meets is evil. Dude's redeeming Karaka and White.

It wasn't directly Baam's doing but I knew Karaka was finished when Hell Joe asked him what his favorite tv show was and he deadpanned "I only watch the news". Up to that point Karaka was portrayed as unilaterally villainous and a major thorn in Baam's side.

I don't know if it was supposed to be humor, but it caught me offguard and was very funny. Now they're just fellow students who want to do anything to rescue their beloved teacher.

If the anime is successful enough to get to this part of the story, it's going to be wild. Probably going to start being absolutely bonkers in the hell train.

If they end the first season where I think they will, that cliffhanger should be enough to get a lot of attention for further seasons.

Can someone help me narrow down where I stopped reading last time? They had left the virtual world and were pulling up to a heavily-guarded station after the Zahards had demanded everyone on the Hell Train be killed.

Here's the first chapter after after they leave the train. I figure that's a good spot for you to catch up.

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


Found this while looking for something new to watch on CR, watched a few episodes there then binged the entire webtoon in about a week. What an incredible series.

The anime's fine so far even if I'm not 100% sold on the choices they're making in terms of adaptation, there's a lot of pretty important context that's getting dropped from the early episodes, and how they decided to do the end of the crown game kinda confuses me. I get overselling the shinsu blast from Bam, but I'm a bit confused about why they tacked on the extra bit with Black March. It doesn't fit at all with my understanding of the 13th Month Series and their powers and relationship to Bam in the webtoon at all, and is especially odd since it's in the episode that he loses the Black March.

I do like the soundtrack and VO work, and the animation works well enough even if it's a bit sketch-like for my taste compared to the art in the webtoon. I think my dream studio for this would've been UFOtable after seeing what they did with Demon Slayer, I just can't see the art style the anime has doing justice to the really spectacular action we're going to see later on.
