Main problem for me is that the emotional scenes don’t feel emotional, less consistent story boarding. I get it why. 7/10 fm

@Alkimia 2 of these issues(who captured him, and who's strong enough monsters to fight the main cast) won't be next episode, that's more season 2 or later in the season depending how much more chapters they adapt, we're only in chapter 8 of a 128 chapter manga series

Didn't we see Gabimarou get captured by just normal humans? It could just be my memory being weird since the first episode was a month ago now, but I swear we saw him get captured. I can't imagine people like Gabimarou, that dragon blade guy or that giant being captured by normal people. Especially when Gabimarou can rip these titans apart

And what was your second point? I read that multiple times and I still don't get what you mean. Who's strong enough monsters to fight the main cast? You mean we haven't seen any monsters strong enough for this main cast? Maybe, but these monsters were defeated with zero effort. There was zero tension in this episode for that reason. Despite these characters never fighting something like these titans, they had zero problems ripping them apart with their bare hands dude. I don't have a problem with them being OP, but this felt kinda silly. It doesn't feel consistent. And you're telling me I have to wait for a second season for them to face a real challenge? I'm sorry but that sounds terrible lol

This has potential, but it has it's problems too. Did I start excited? Yes. I was very excited for this after I saw that first episode. But it's got some problems that I've noticed just from watching up to this point. It's honestly to the point where the more I think about this show's flaws, the worse they get. Sorry but that's my take on this show as of now. I think I'd rather read the manga

A better episode overall than last week, but still, I'm peeved by the show trying to explain everything rather than showing. There's simply way too much dialogue and not enough action, which is what this show should focus on. In terms of the animation, it's alright, but it's clearly the product of a rushed production, which is just trying its hardest to "finish the assignment". Again, the "fix" for mediocre writing is by giving the viewers fan service, in Yuzuriha, so they forget about the writing, but for now, it's not enough to really get me invested. The backstories for the characters also weren't executed well, I really am not enjoying them introducing characters through backstories, and not waiting until further in the show to do them.
Dude I honestly can't stand Yuzuriha LOL I did not like her in this episode, and the fact that Gabimarou is actually giving her the chance to backstab him. And ofc now she's the only thing people will talk about here

Yuzuriha's backstory is pretty nice, and she's also a mysterious one.

Am I supposed to feel intimidated or impressed by these worthless monster mobs? I feel that Even Gegege Kitarou (a child's series) had better designs and color use that made the folktale monster more impressive and macabre.



I didn't have any hopes for Sagiri since episode 1, but after every single episode it just reinforces my theory that she's going to be just another useless Sakura whose role is there to inspire the main male protagonist and arouse the horny weebs with the same recycled nude cutscenes.

I acknowledge that nothing is original these days, but come on... Choubei & Toma are straight out ripoffs from Saint Seiya, sad orphans with a brash tsundere Ikki and the frail afeminate Shun.

Tamiya is probably the only character worth of my attention so far, at least his backstory isn't based on a sad sob story of misery or pitty, but on arrogance and self respect. Seconded by Yuzuriha, but that's mostly Rieri's acting and not Yuki Kaku's writing.

In this episode we once again see the ninjutsu of gambimaru(honestly it looks quite cool).
It feels like gambimaru is tied because of his wife. I mean like imagine the development of feelings of an executioner and a criminal.

Pretty OK so far. Animation is great but nothing special yet when it comes to the story. Nothing we haven't seen yet from other action adventure animes. But I'll continue to watch because Studio MAPPA is fire! I haven't read the manga yet so please forgive me for being naive if this show has an amazing story.

Hold up you're right lol now that I think about it, they really didn't move at all in this episode huh? It really was just a bunch of standing around, talking, and ending with Gabimarou in the same place he was in the last episode

I like plot twist from this episode. We can't instanly belive the story.

But that about it, the story even more slower than previous episode and the animation not as polish as before.

I don't feel like the animation is serving the story as well as it could. It just feels kind of fluffy and shonen and the story is rather harrowing and dark. It's not unwatchable, but I just don't really feel a lot of impact when watching the episode. This also may have something to do with the fact that all the monster are getting mowed down in droves. All in all, I am willing to keep watching the show but I am less excited about the show now then when I started.

Now the ugly battle shounen truth rears its head. Hope it improves in future episodes. Gabimaru slaughtering the discount titans was lame as fuck. Sagiri also got the typical shounen treatment of female characters. It's insane to me that this (and JJK) are uttered in the same breath as Chainsaw Man.

Not as impactful as the last 3 episodes but sets some things to look forward to for the next episodes.
It is wise for all the parties to consider investigating first what goes around rather than charging towards enemies and looking for the elixir. There's also the fact that leaving the immediate waters of the island is difficult unless you find the current leading out and not be disposed of by the kraken.

Nice for Sagiri to find her resolve (that sword snatching move was great too). Also by the end, we also see that one-chop man joining in. Hopefully he'll also become an unexpected ally.

Monsters were underwhelming but I'm pretty sure that they are just some random ones. This anime feels like an inferior version of Basilisk.

Does this ever get good? This shit is so boring. Just willing to give it one more shot before I drop it for good. And I'm only doing that in case MAPPA kicks it up a notch next episode. I just want to see something cool. I was hoping for something like JJK which story-wise is as generic as it gets, but at least that has fun characters, fun battles, and also beautiful animation every once in a while. This just has a great OP and everything else is underwhelming. Did the D-team at MAPPA work on this?

I agree but don't see any fun in JJK characters either. Salmon-guy is probably one of the worst I've seen the past year.

Monsters with human bodies fighting against humans with monster abilities. I have loved Choubei, and I suppose that the Yuzuriha is going to give a lot of play. Great Gabimaru for not being unfaithful.
