AnaCarolina said: I, too, have begun feeling they will never make it a very good manga adaptation (because it's been nine episodes and I'm still confused); but yeah... I'll read it afterwards. After all, I'm guessing the anime's proving itself nicer for people who haven't read the manga... Just to correct, the anime is not a manga adaptation. Nor is it a light novel adaptation or an adaptation of the songs. It's another extension of the Kagerou Project series. The anime has a different but similar storyline to the other medias. |
| They've done it. They've defiled the best song, not only with a horrendous decision to animate the OP in the way they did, but as well as the fact that the actual song itself (once again) barely played a part in effectively telling the story that it was meant to tell. At this point, I'm convinced that SHAFT is fucking this up REALLY badly with horrible decison making, Jin was able to tell the story with the PVs with no issues whatsoever, whereas SHAFT's adaptation is nine episodes in and it barely feels cohesive. Idk, I'm kind of hoping that Jin is just as unhappy about this BS as much as most of us are, SHAFT could've performed SO much better with adapting this story but instead it's just a mess that quite personally disgraces the name of the Kagerou Project. I'm sorry but I am very disappointed with SHAFT. |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| GOD I'm FINALLY starting to understand this anime (I didn't want to spoil it by watching Kagerou Days first). A person could really not want to watch this if they have to get this far in to start understanding! Also, wth with the beginning CG??? Why why why why what the heck hahaha I don't get what Shaft was doing with this episode, but at least things are starting to heat up and we are getting explanations. But one question... HOW DOES HE KNOW WHERE HER BODY IS WHAT????? |
| When the opening animation popped up I knew it wouldn't go unscathed in the discussion board. It was definitely a change of "pace" .... |

| This was great, just makes Ayano's death even sadder :( Things have been finally starting to make sense since ep 8, the story is pretty intriguing :) |
| Should have been all in CG this episode. |
 |
| Dat CG. Good episode, though. |
 |
| Blown, away! This anime has turned out to be one of Shinbou's little works art. Amazing storytelling... how the mystery is all coming together so neatly throughout the series. Normally, bad CG is bad... but wow, it was used as an artistic tool, and I thought it worked well. |
  |
| Animation was kinda bad...I liked to see Ayano's past, but the big surprise was to see Ene's body! And why Kano knew her body was there?! |
 |
| That opening song was so beautiful, yet really sad. I actually cried a little bit. Good to know that sensei isn't trully an asswipe. I wonder what will happen to him when the snake leaves his body. Sent with Mal Updater |

| Despite that horrible OP sequence, this was one of the better episodes of the series. |
| Wat 3 more to go and I don't know what's going on |
| Um... yeah... besides the moment where Ayano was cute being grumpy :3 ... the rest was really poor CG... The song was nice but the CG ruined a big part of it, good thing everything was back to normal after it. Ohooo, so Kano had a crush on Ayano it seems. Hm, the story about the monster had a sad ending in the end, not a happy one. I guess that her mother was swallowed alongside with her father and he came back with powers. Wow, Haruka and Ene were human sacrifices to summon snakes and so on... Oh, look, Ene's real body lol. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Gross CG lol |
| The OP there is... lolz. HAHAHA. Nevertheless, this episode is awesome. I love how the story makes clearer to me now. I like the symbolism in the story of the snake and the monster. And woah, another cliffhanger. Ene's original body spotted. |
 |
| Favourite part |
 |
| That was a HIDEOUS opening. The CGI was horribly placed... The charactered looked like they had some kind of mental disability or something, and the eyes look hollowed. Look, I know Shaft has been known to produce stills and zooms(I don't have any memories of their characters moving along in a linear fashion) and cut scenes, but resorting to THIS?? Also, Info dump episode... The black and white drawings were BEAUTIFUl, but damn. |

Darkhur said: I didn't like how Ayano and Ayaka looked in the OP, but I didn't hate it. I really don't see why people are hating this episode so much. You might as well give up, as there's obviously no way to satisfy you. I'm still a little bitter about no Outer Science, but I'm trying not to be as irrational as I was on the previous episode. I love how they tied in Yobanashi Deceive with this episode. 9/10 from me. Wow... You're way too easy to satisfy. When you have seen enough shows, you'll realize just how mediocre it was.. Then again, you have Index on your favorite list taking up 2 spots, you really haven't seen many Anime have you? |

| That CGI was terrifying. Hmm, so Marry is the queen? If the queen is Medusa then it makes sense that she's the queen since her ability is to 'freeze' people. This is starting to make sense finally. I'm still confused about Kano. . . and Konoha. . . |
| Ayano's Theory of Happiness !!! (favorite song !!! so great !!!) The Tateyama's contentment and dilemma ... !!! Ayaka's diary of the little monster .. she devoted herself to her work .. which is to solve the mystery behind the "black snakes , the monster and the heat haze" ... unfortunately , she died with her husband in a landslide .. but the day august 15 , "the day where everything happens" .. the husband got out but ... ayaka was left in .. though , It was a inevitable sacrifice .. ayaka is great mother that will be loved forever in her memories of a true mother and archaeologist . Ayano learns the utmost truth !! .. investigations were done !! .. her dad .. kenjirou .. got the "eyes" from the heat haze after the tragedy of their conclusion in the research with ayaka but the "snake" got a will of its own .. a bank of stash to for recreation of the world in reality . Ayano needed the help of kano to start the investigations .. kano chose to do it . Present , Kano tells the story to ene .. learning the truth about kenjirou's powers . The Queen resides in marry btw .. She's is the only I can think of and the only possible person. Cliffhanger !! Pretty great episode !!! Wedding with beloved !! |

| well at least her body's safe (it seems so) and not buried and rotting. Bit by bit they're explaining some stuff that's nice of them |
 |
| Oh boy that ending! Really impressive development, let's see what's next! |
 |
| The CGI was so horrible that it was hilarious |
| As you suspected this episode is like a bolt from the blue, as it opens a whole world still not esporato and kept well hidden until now. Immersive storytelling, but the credit goes not only to the history even to very beautiful designs. It is also revealed the bluff done at the expense of Ene. Pleasant and intriguing story about the impact that will have in the near future; I can not wait to follow the next episode. Curious to see how different is the episode changed at the beginning, compared to the original of which was discussed both in this topic. |
 |
| Geesh, what's up with all those damn source material purists? Glad I didn't already get spoilered by them. Opening song was nice, but the CGI was very bad. All in all very good episode, really interested where this is going now. |
 |
| Great episode other than that damn ugly opening, my eyes are burning. |
| Hmm, despite the ugly-ass CGI opening, this was probably the best episode so far. Ayano is cute, I guess. 3/5 |
 |
| The head tilt was strong with this one. The CG OP was cancerous lol they gave away sensei's arapaima as the shooting game prize. |
~my list
| OP was really good. So cyber girl gets a body?! |
So, I was wondering why everyone was complaining about the intro... vs  Wow, the bluray really makes a difference huh. |
 Oh my goodness, they are sooo sweet <3 Whoa, Ayane is such a good big sister... Nah, that teacher is also one of... these superheroes (I don't abtually know how to name them xD). I think that Mary is that queen of snakes... She always was too quiet. These the most quiet are the most suspect. As I think xD |
| Kano seems to be a good guy now but seems he loved Ayano and hated Haruka for being with her. I don't think Mr.Tateyama is really getting controlled by the snake 100% because he may also be evil during the day. That cliffhanger at the end tho, I hope next episode they go straight to that and not launch another diff story which stalls this. |
| Oh my god, that CGI in the beginning. Terrifying |
| oh my godjbnmnb i just watched the original opening scene. i had no idea why people were complaining bc i obviously saw the BD version but boy is it ugly. |
| Well OP should put an original animation to get the real feel. But that's okay. Monster story revealed that the snake is the problem. And Ene's body as a new queen to take order of superpower human in the world. As I expected that sensei has an ability too. |
| Great portrayal of Ayano's Theory of Happiness, how I wish we could see more of the past kids do more stuff We're nearing the crux of the issue with revealed info regarding the Snakes and Medusa, Kano's narration to Ene regarding everything is so pleasant to hear |
