I have read the manga and was very happy when I heard that the anime was being made. But this seems to be made to ruin the story. The very carefully constructed atmosphere put together by the author on the manga version is a no show due to the fast pacing of the screen adaptation. The order of events is wrong, too many jumps that I couldn't even understand the time passing and the animation itself is very bad, a lot of issues in many areas. It seems that the ones who put together this anime have no idea on how to maintain/ create an ominous atmosphere, put thriller and mystery to the thing which is very sad because the manga had it already they just "edited it out of the plot". As for the people that haven't read the manga, this is a very average anime... almost bad but the plot saves it big time. Everything should have been done in a more explained way and using more of the manga because if taken from there it would come up on the list of best animes of the genre.

I am almost giving up on Netflix, they give us 2 season of an anime, and when we expect to see more they give us nothing. There were so many stories left in this adaption and yet we have not had anything. People that gave this a low score have no soul.

I don't understand some reviews. This series has some action, is going into mental connection and the fear of individual characters. It is not a spoiler that a meteorite fell on earth as this is kind of in the description. Also seriously? You complain about pastell colours and then full colours or that synchronization is bad? Well, I suggest you watch the original version in Japanese, have some good internet connection and just let yourself sucked into the atmosphere what would you do if you were on a lone island with monsters and you cannot understand.

This series is great to switch off and escape into your fantasy world. Though the episodes are rather short and too less exist, I can warmly recommend this to anyone who likes Japanese language paired with apocalypse and emotionally escaping from the real world.

For all who just like action, thrilling, complicated story and a perfrct picture and picture/language synchronization (that most manags do not have) - stay away and dom't give a one star rating. This is not what such a serie deserves!

I'm a HUGE fan of the original manga, so I was excited to hear that Netflix was turning it into anime.

BUT...

1st episode was a TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT.

I almost stopped watching in the middle but my husband who does not know the original was watching with me so I finished it.

1. They just revealed the whole story in the opening!!! WHY WOULD THEY???????

2. They just skipped through so many details. IT CONFUSED my husband who doesn't know the story.

3. They changed the looks of characters so much. I guess to an extent this can't be helped but... disappointment to a big fan of the original artwork.

But for some odd reason that I don't understand, I kept watching, and it started to grow on me.

Not sure if the story made any sense to people who haven't read the manga, but if you just see it as a "summary of" or "introduction to" the original, this serves the purpose just fine (?).

At least they didn't change the story; they just summarized it.

I've not read the Manga so keep that in mind.. The story and concept is very fresh and appealing, as is the unusual trope twists, and the characters have promise, but it's not quite there..

Especially as of the second season, the characters are missing that key element that makes you really connect with them and make mistakes that go beyond excusable to the inexcusable, but I don't regret the time spent watching it, yet..
