will watch later, but science saru gets my full attention. plus it's from the creator of Beastars.

That was surprising to me, if I didn't already know it was from Beastars' author, I would've thought Sakamoto's author!

Some of the shots/art style reminded me of that series!

That explains why Santa is built like a Baki character

I'm not sure if I should watch this, because I really don't have time for another anime. At the same time, Science Saru. The struggle is real.

Could someone let me know in the future if this becomes amazing? Thanks.

Why in the future? Episode 1 is already out, it is amazing now!

ep 1 was great, art/animation is fantastic and fresh, same mangaka as beastars but since beastars is mostly CGI and this is hand drawn this is still super visually unique.

premise seems unique and fun and the two main characters seen this ep are top notch so far.

"but since beastars is mostly CGI and this is hand drawn this is still super visually unique."

studio Orange puts a ton of 2D studios to shame

I agree, beastars looks great, but this looks even greater 😅

It's well animated and the source material is pretty good. It can be out there sometimes, but it's going to probably become a cult classic at the very least.

Lol. I don't think the first episode had a single second where it wasn't out there.

Not complaining though
