Dies Irae is what you buy when you crave for a third-rate chuuni anime series uncomfortably distended across 40+ hours of crap graphics substituted for the typically mediocre direction of an actual anime.
Dies Irae is paradoxically the most pure and most disingenuous of fanservice: loli/moe garbage colored up with throwaway references to a literal-minded high school art student's take on Nietsche. To anyone above an eighth-grade level of literacy, it's quasi-physical torment. There's no real gameplay to speak of to make the usual high-concept low-execution frame of anime palatable, hallways between protracted cutscenes featuring underdirected anime puppets shaking their porcelain udders or flowing boy locks while spewing arbitrary acronyms or glib references to that wasn't even that clever when it was written in Latin or German.
God damn it and I was about to watch the episode.....
Zachary Barnes
so who is the main character blonde hitler or the guy who transformed the blonde guy into the new hitler?
Ayden Flores
yeah, it was really boring and juvenile
Jaxson Myers
This sounds even more pretentious than actual Die Israel writing.
Ethan White
I claim this thread for Hajun
Brayden Flores
This average japanese highschool boy
Samuel Campbell
oh for fuck sake
Adam Mitchell
Let's be real, we want to see it at the end of the last episode, but it won't happen.
James Martinez
That would be so fucking hype.
Carson Sanders
THE FEAR
Liam Harris
So is this series a /jp/ shitposting magnet, or what? There's a bizarre amount of threads shitting on it for something that came out a day ago and didn't even blow up or anything.
Josiah Ross
Was episode 0 supposed to make absolutely no sense, or is the script going to be like that for the whole thing?
Lucas Scott
>yfw DI anime is just a prequel to the actual project >KKK anime
Joseph Thompson
That's just what he appears to be. The MC's real backstory is deeply connected to the magic nazis.
Jack Hernandez
When will it catch fire?
Logan Smith
Let's be real: Ren is, from beginning to end, your standard high school protag.
Chase Nelson
It's a side story that you are supposed to read after finishing the first two of the VNs four routes. It makes no sense that they would make it the first episode.
Owen Wood
>KKK translation is announced after the last DI episode
Grayson Butler
...
Gavin Roberts
What a convoluted, disjointed piece of crap that episode was. Does it get extremely better? Because this is about to turn into one of the exceptions to my "3-episode rule".
Jackson Stewart
He is not. "Standard high school protag" doesn't want to fight and doesn't want to kill. Ren is not only ready to fight for the things he holds dear, he is ready to kill for it pretty much from the start. He takes his insanity on the next level in KKK as Yato, but I guess it doesn't matter for dies.
Dylan Allen
why wouldn't they just release is after the series as an ova? i was expecting good things from it. but that first episode was a real let down
Jaxon Rodriguez
It's just pasta
Michael Howard
See This episode was not a good sign for what is to come but you should probably give it one more episode.
Brody Sanders
I can wait another week. But seriously, that "episode 0" or whatever put me the hell off.
Jordan Edwards
>ジッグハイル >May we have victory Ah, don't you just love political correctness?
Ethan Martin
This episode was supposed to be just fanservice for the VN readers, but the amount of quality just doomed it.
Brody Sullivan
Honestly, as someone who knows nothing about this series and came in with no expectations, I didn't have that much of an issue with the first episode. Yeah, it was pretty nonsensical, but I assumed it was your typical "there's crazy shit happening, you'll find out later" prologue.
Did the fight scene cuts not bother you a bit? I'm gonna keep watching it though, hope it improves.
Hudson Butler
Best girl best track
David Hughes
I hope they saved animation budget for all good moments like Beatrice vs Eleonore, that battle where Rusalka was killed by Key and universe scale duel between 3 Gods.
Cameron Scott
This is Marie route so it would be Rusalka getting dragged around like ragged ball by Schreiber.
Her best fate.
Nathaniel Jones
MAL is where you go when you crave for an inaccurate site filled with nothing but anime normies and complete neckbeards distended across thousands of users substituted for the value of one's own opinion and replaced with the need to have your taste accepted by anyone because you're an actual Beta Male with no will of your own.
Like OP.
Ian Parker
This was as tragic as the hilarious end for her.
Lucas Smith
What was Spinne desire?
Zachary Brown
Be a janitor
Angel Wright
The studio making this clearly don't give a rat's ass about the source material.
I wish Masada went with somebody else.
Aaron Russell
I doubt they have the budget to improve this, just read the VN if you're interested then come back to the anime if you like it.
Austin Sullivan
It's a VN adaptation, it was bound to be mediocre at best and utter shit at worst. The original VN is not especially good to begin with.
Robert Anderson
Fuck off, shitposter
Joshua Bell
Why the fuck do you post screen of that cancer site? Go back there and don't return faggot.
Nathan Scott
Yes, someone having contending views on your favorite series is a shitposter. Kill yourself.
Parker Thompson
He's probably drinking at a bar while muttering "Why didn't I go with MAPPA?"
Oliver Roberts
I just started the VN and dear god, I want to fuck Rusalka. What do?
Lucas Parker
So... This is a power of chuuni writing.
Hunter Jenkins
He is right about VN adaptations. They almost never work and we knew that a kickstarter project wouldn't end in a good result
Lucas Fisher
So cheap. It's really obvious when they think giving a show some decent budget won't help it sell.
Colton Thomas
That's not a proper argument. At least read the VN before commenting on the anime.
Blake Lewis
I thought it was decent until near the ending where they turned the prologue into a clusterfuck. Maybe hearing the original VAs made it better than it looked.
Lucas Watson
Suffer like the rest of us in Bucharest sewers
Logan Gray
>MAPPA No fuck them just watch Altair so you can learn that this studio also rapes the source material
Christian Nguyen
Just curious, what VNs would you consider good?
Carter Rodriguez
>MAPPA Well, as long as they don't replace him with a soap opera writer it would work
Connor Flores
Nekopara
Luke Fisher
I don't get why couldn't they just translate it in English.

>complaining about animation budget when this episode only has 7 first key animators They need more manpower instead of budget.
Caleb Walker
But I did user I just don't want to talk about that
Zachary Lopez
Pretty much and I'm more surprised people even care here about MAL/reddit scores in general.
Andrew Lee
Nobody oathed a more honest man. There was no more truth. Everyone was not pure in love: Still, no one betrayed all the oaths. All treaties, his true love! Please answer me, dead man: Why can you understand? The furious fire in my chest melts all the dirt, all the impurities into forgetfulness! You cleanse yourself, the dirt is washed, it melts and becomes clean. Your soul will be freed like this, Gold that glows until ignorance remains, its pure gloss. Yes, the twilight of the gods is above us. So I will be reborn as a fire to purify the sacred hole of Valhalla! (Form of creation) Beriya (Cursed Sword) MuspellsheimLævateinn

Makes you think about how unoriginal and mediocre the VN is?
Joseph Richardson
Something something metafiction
Jacob Ward
Gonna be honest, when I read this if someone would ask me what I think about it I would say it's retarded and stupid. I would agree with everybody and say it's fucking stupid but deep inside I actually think this is pretty fucking awesome so fuck me.
Jackson Gutierrez
There's a reason this shit only popular to fujoshit in japan.
Elijah Cooper
>Riza Brenner, not Lisa >use SS ranks for Eleonore and Beatrice, but call Reinhard General and not Reichsführer-SS >Helga appearing on Bey's shoulder >Lisa's tits are smaller
god this shit was a tragedy
Jackson King
I just went on and marathoned the first episode
I didn't understand shit but that blonde nazi woman was cute though
Adrian Russell
Is this google translate?
No man more honest ever took an oath; None more true made treaty None was more pure in love; And yet none so betrayed all oaths, all treaties, his truest love! Answer me, O mortal man: can you understand why? The fire raging within my breast shall melt all taint, all impurity to oblivion! Let yourself be purified, your taint washed, melted clear away; your soul thus released, exalted Till naught is left but radiant Gold, its lustre pure Aye, the twilight of the gods is upon us And so shall I be reborn as the fire that cleanses our sacred halls of Valhalla!
Gabriel Sanders
Rusalka and Vanilla have the same VA.
Christopher Young
>Helga appearing on Bey's shoulder That's basically a CG from ikabey. Obviously it looked terrible in the anime form without the correct stylization.
Kayden Martinez
> In World War II, during fighting in late August and early September 1944, the historic walled city of Saint-Malo was almost totally destroyed by American shelling and bombing as well as British naval gunfire
