[Spoilers] Raise wa Tanin ga Ii — Episode 1

This is the first time I'm watching an anime adaptation of a manga that I discovered when it was pretty obscure. Nice to see some grown-up story, even it still revolves around highschoolers...

I'm not sure how they will cope with battle scenes further in the series, as the animation is soo.. glitchy? Also tried to figure out how much story is going to be adopted from the manga, because imo chapter ~37 would be a good end point for the series, but i doubt they will have enough screen time to present the story without pacing problems.
I loooove Hitomi Ueda as Yoshino va, but i fear that Kirishima's va is not going to suit his character very well - maybe i will change my mind later on
Overall. i enjoyed it mostly because i'm fond of the manga, i hope it will make me more invested in the show in the future episodes c:

So excited for the rest of Red Flags: The Anime. My dude was all kinds of messed up and still declared his love. Incredible.

this would be like miles better if both the characters were in their early/mid 20s. either way, it's good and i hope the anime goes even more darker cause that what it excelled at in the first episode. Yoshino's so cool, we need more badass moments with her.

This first episode was a whirlwind of emotions, there was comedy, but also drama and suspense, I loved it, the opening was beautiful too! I can't wait for the next episode!

I'm dying for it. I haven't read this manga in specific, but I'm a huge fan of A Girl & Her Guard Dog, which is also a yakuza story and has a lot of similar–what some would call–"toxic" topics. I have high hopes.

Not so sure mixing gore and romance will work out really well...

Not sure how I feel about her actually selling a kidney...

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would! The stylization of their hair had me iffy at first when I saw the trailer, and I'm still a little hesitant on how they'll handle it during the future action scenes, but liked it a lot more than when I initially saw it.

Voice acting: LOVE Yoshino. She's so expressive! Kirishima I feel like his voice is attractive but v guarded! So hopefully it opens up as he falls for Yoshino.

Expressions: I love that they kept the comedic reactions and Yoshino's more comical looks. I think they could stage some of the more yakuza threatening scenes better, but I also understand the studio is following the manga's paneling/staging.

Art Style: I love how vibrant these characters are in the world! Cant wait to see how they compare in different environments and juxtaposed to other characters as they appear.

I checked and this episode covered like 2/3 of the first volume. So Im very curious to see how they will pace it and if we are gonna get to chapter 38 by the end.
Overall looking forward to more episodes!

First ep was a banger. This is the exact kind of dangerous female-focused wish fulfillment I like. Gimme more fucked up toxic romance drama, I'm so fucking here for it. I hope they ruin each other's lives.

I love her grandpa btw. Absolutely batshit advice, but ultimately, really supportive.

Oh my Goddd this is so good wtff

I'm wicked excited for this to have been adapted to an anime. I know the art style seems weird, but it's exactly as the manga artist draws it. It's cool to see it animated.

Really liked the first episode, I was worried Yoshino was going to be a pusharound and just subjected to abuse and nothing more, but I'm glad to see her taking a stance, that way we have a very toxic relationship from both sides, which is how I wanted this to be!!!

Hoping this continues for the rest of the series. I'm loving Yoshino so much!!!

As someone who REALLY loves this manga and series, I am worry that the studio did not do the series justice until the end.
Pro: Yoshino was done REALLY well. Also the end song, they showcase the coolest/best illustrations of the series.
Con: Not a fan of the art of my husbando, Shouma. TT^TT Also the animation is off at time.

Definitely wasn’t expecting to dig this anime so much on episode 1 already. The animation style is interesting and is the female mc. Glad she grew a backbone towards the end and is running the school hehe those heated scenes had me too <33

Started it simply because of how old school the character designs are taking me back to that 80's/90's CLAMP look. Stayed because the two of them are twisted in their own way. This is the kind of stuff I read all the time when it comes to my manhwa preferences. Will probably seek out the manga in the future.

i haven't read the manga but i enjoyed the first episode. the art is 9/10 and animation is 7/10 but watchable!

first ep was way darker than i expected but i loved it so far! i checked out cause i love yakuza comedies so i hope that stays consistent

Thought it would take a bit longer for the guy to be head-over-heels for her, but now that I've already gotten what I wanted from the premise, I find little reason to continue watching.
