I was recommended this show, and while I thought the initial summary sounded like an interesting premise, there are so many things that bug me as I finish Episode 2.

For one, why is everyone completely unbothered by the fact they were just abducted and put under some dystopian project? Nobody even questions their new authority, or tries to get help like contacting the police or anything.

I also don’t really know the point of this project. Why is it being conducted? Why does world peace need to be found, and why is THIS the method they choose? Everyone apart of the government really just gave this the thumbs up as the way to solve the world’s problems?

I still don’t even get the sci-fi element. I’m still so confused as to how far the sci-fi element goes. I guess that’s why I’m frustrated about the plot so much, because I seriously have no idea if in a next episode somebody is suddenly gonna gain superpowers, or if there is an actual antagonist, or anything. It’s doing a really poor job at hooking me because frankly I don’t want to keep watching something I have no idea what genre it even is. I feel like if I knew some of these things, I’d actually be able to enjoy this show.

I see this is not a very popular anime and that’s really unfortunate - most of you probably share the same thoughts. I wanted to say how much I enjoyed this anime and how I think it’s very under appreciated especially for being an anime original! I thought the ending was gonna disappoint me with how it was going, but I’m happy that it turned into something really rewarding. 10/10 .

Is there a kiznaiver manga and if there is what sites have it

So just finished the Anime and just wanted to know if there's any sequel from an original material like LN or Manga. Actually I just wanted to know if there's any content after the Anime ending, like does any of the couples actually get together or does the story ends where the Anime finishes? I really just want a spoiler if there is anything lol

I saw on the wiki page that the characters are older in the novel? Does anybody have a synopsis of the novel?

i watched the the show till 5th episode and i almost threw my phone four to five times like they are doing whatever they want with student not just that annoying bitch noriko but even the teachers and i read somewhere that this bitch is supposed to be childhood love of that moron and yet she treats him like trash and that fucking moron always follow her like a dog this shit is getting on my nerve

I’m mainly looking for pins and keychains!! I’ve see a lot of figures but I really want pins!!!

dose anyone know where to find some that ship to Canada?

So I just finished watching the anime and it was one of the best anime I have ever seen. I also found out that there is a manga. Does anyone know how to read the English translation of it? If you know, plz comment because I want to read its manga so badly.

i was really getting jealous over her...

Twice before, quite a while ago, I’ve gotten through a few episodes of it and then stopped. Figured that today, given it was in my list of anime that I never finished, I would watch it. So I did, and I got hit with so much emotional damage, it even has a happy ending idk how I still came out of it with emotional damage.

Anyways, anyone know any anime like it in some way, since I mean, the story is essentially concluded I’m not gonna get any more of it. Even though I absolutely want more of it.

I noticed that the "X" symbol is everywhere in the anime. What do you think about it? Is there any meaning that any of you found? I can't stop thinking that it can't be just a coincidence.

Hello, I just finished this anime and I loved it, but I need more Nori x Katsuhira.

Anyone know fanfiction or doujinshi?

Thank you!

Hey guys, as a fan of the anime Kiznaiver, I wanna talk about something that's not often discussed - empathy. So, the show follows a group of teenagers who are connected through a system that allows them to share each other's pain and emotions. It's a unique concept that explores the importance of understanding and compassion towards others.

I think it's unfair that there's a stigma attached to being empathetic. People assume that just because you're in tune with others' emotions, you must be weak or vulnerable. But that's just not true. I may have a greater capacity for empathy, but that doesn't mean I don't have my own struggles and challenges.

Plus, being empathetic isn't something to feel guilty about. I know that there are disparities in emotional intelligence and not everyone has the same level of empathy. But that doesn't make me a bad person just because I happen to have a greater sense of understanding towards others. Instead of stigmatizing empathy, let's have an open dialogue that acknowledges the role of emotional intelligence in our society.

To all my fellow fans of Kiznaiver - embrace empathy! Be proud of your ability to understand and connect with others, and use your advantages to make a positive impact on the world. And to those who may feel resentful or jealous of empathetic individuals, I encourage you to seek understanding and empathy instead of falling back on stereotypes or negativity.

Remember, empathy is a valuable trait that can lead to greater understanding, cooperation, and harmony among people. Let's strive to be the best empathetic individuals we can be, while also recognizing the importance of respecting each other's unique perspectives and experiences.

I just finished the show last night and I cant stop thinking about how much I loved the characters and how I want more. Part of it is that Tenga reminds me of Kamina from Gurren Lagann and any more time with Kamina is always welcome. I need a slice of life anime with this cast of characters. That's it. That's all I got.

I am obsessed with this anime in the type of empathy it shows. I so wish I could have more content of it. But either way, I will still count this as my favorite anime!!
