| So when Jack tries to kill pirate Guy they call him a sociopath and lock him up But when love-pon looses it and attempts to drown MC nobody cares Wtf ? |
| I think all of these are delusions. They're hearing and seeing their biggest fear or desire. They hear the sound of different things, from a bear, to a sea lion, a human, creaking or a siren. Which probably the things they are scared the most. While seeing things that they wanted the most. Like the bus driver and his dead child and that girl who likes Mitsumune sees his giant form. |
 |
| My first drop of the season. I don't demand quality of everything I watch (and God knows I watch a lot of crap) but there's nothing about this show to look forward to every week (writing, characters, animation, art, music, it's all meh, meh). |

| in my opinion, the story gets intersting and more thrilling than before xD. everyone still alive but i'm still waiting sometome to die. some of them are freaking annoying AF. i wonder what they saw in the tunnel. Giant mitsumune ? WTF are you talking about girl ? still sane ? LOL anyway, i'm looking foward for the next episode. |
 |
| I have no idea what's going on anymore |

| A giant mitsumune .... dude, what |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Weird cliffhanger at the end. Good episode, like the way this series is turning out. |
 |
| Okay okay…I survived another episode. What as that at the ending? Big Mitsumune wtf? And did Judgness really die? So confusing… YokuneSan said: I hope Lovepon dies next, she's so fucking annoying.  One of the few likable female characters^ THIS Nocturnal said: It amazed me how our MC did not mention the creepy eye he saw, not even to dissuade the group from leaving. His argumentation is sheer brilliance, too. Mikage actually presents some solid reasons for leaving the mountain and all Mistumune can say is, 'but Masaki says we should stay!', this when Masaki is not making any amount of sense. Her behavior has been off since day one but at this point it has reached a level of weirdness that cannot be disregarded. It's obvious she knows something no-one else knows and that alone should at least make our MC wonder but no. I was surprised that Hayato and Maimai actually left Mistumune behind. I figured she'd be too tsundere and he too weirdly possessive to possibly leave our MC alone. I also wonder whether Mistumune would have died if not for Hayato's help. Mitsumune is one of those annoying characters that make you want to shake them. Practically abandoning his childhood friend over a chick he met a day ago? I sure as hell wouldn’t toss my friend over Masaki. Most MC are annoying really, and the pseudo mystery is starting to get on my nerves. Well, I’ll continue watching purely out of curiosity. Nocturnal said: At this point I'm inclined to think that the titles are deliberately deceptive. And it's a shame that I am almost sure Mikage will die, at this point he is one of the few character I actually like. Oh no, Mikage is one of the very few enjoyable characters in this anime. It’d be shame if he died :/ On another note, Jack you go! That staring down when he was in the fog, if it’s him, was really intense. Mikage, Hayato, Maimai, Nanko, pls don’t die <3 |

| MC is still annoying. That 'beast' noise they keep hearing sounds like a dinosaur to me. I'm guessing everyone is hearing and seeing different things. |
 |
| People might have dropped this too soon, episode 4 was on Point! Shit hit the fan at the end of episode 3 and episode 4 was basically Shit hitting everywhere... WTF IS A GIANT MITSUMUNE!!! Also Still hoping for Aliens lol The side characters are way better then Mitsumune and Masaki...I cant stand them anymore |

| Now it's getting interesting! Like others said, I think it's all about illusions, like, they're seeing what they fear or think the most. Something like that. |
| Drama and mystery, there is no supernatural. So don't expect a ghost suddenly appears. There is a possibility they are the real perpetrators. Their minds could be hallucinating because of certain influences such as inhaling some of gas without knowing when they entered the village. |

| Made it through another "annihilation by committee" episode. This anime is easiest for me to watch by not becoming attached to any of the characters. Sort of like Agatha Christie's - 10 Little Indians story.......just let em die and try to guess the killer. |

puppygirl said: Syonos said: This anime has so many similarities with Lost : - unknown monsters in the woods - a place that you can't leave ( in Lost the island and here the mountain) - hallucinations - many characters that gradually die - disappeared inhabitants is lost a good anime?? i might watch it since this anime has been interesting so far! I believe he's referring to Lost the TV series not an anime. Also the line "many characters that gradually die" I'm still waiting for some official deaths, this gradual is taking too long. The kill count is too low. |
| Dammit, there goes Hyoketsu. Why do my favorites always die first? This is giving me serious Gai Daigoji flashbacks... |

| this all people are already dead.. We hear that the village is lost, no one can find it ( not even the police ) its because it does not exist in this world. In first episode we saw Mitsumune dream and I guess that was a moment when he died. I think that only people who has unfinished business can visit the Lost Village. There was this creepy moment when we saw an Eye of a bear ( but to me it looked more like a human eye, or some devil creature ). My guess it that this is some kind a guardian (titan mitsumune, GAHH) who does not allow anyone to leave the village and return back to the world of living ones. People who get carried away ( Yottsun san tried to abuse the girl, so the creature killed him ) and try to hurt the ones who are innocent, are punished. judgeness and everyone else who try to leave the vilage will die in next episode |

| ...possible plot # 1 Hallucinating from a deadly air in the village (the drivers daughter) ...possible plot # 2 Everything is an act their being motor by camera, everything was a scan ( we really didn't see any bear just the sound ) |
| A giant Mitsumune? wtf I bet everything that is happening is somehow related to their past... |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
Mezter said: That. Cliffhanger. Tho. I wonder what Maimai means by a 'Big Mitsumune.' I was kinda freaked out by the ghost(?) of the Driver's daughter as well...and what happened to Hyouketsu no Judgeness? How did Jack escape? Did everyone see the same thing in the cave? So many questions arising... Still, the tension throughout the episode was awesome. Cant wait for next week. I'm was literally watching this episode late at night and now I am terrified after the "Big Mitsumune," the stranger cry of whatever animal, and the frickin ghost girl. Also I think Jack used a rock or something to get out. |
| Guys, Jack wasn't an illusion. They went out of their way to show that his cell was open and empty. So whatever is going on with him isn't related to the monster, at least not in the form of that Jack having been an illusion. I'm definitely thinking it's some sort of shapeshifting monster, though. |

Ultimate215 said: This was quite an intense episode. So i looks like they can't leave since they just go in circles. It's kinda like the mist from rokka no yuusha. This really adds to the speculation as to what the hell is going on lol. Now they got to find the killer instead of the seventh XD |
| Plot Twist: The delusions are brought on by Noah II terminals, and this show is secretly the prequel to Chaos;Head.<-------- The truest facts. |
| well, at least they seem to understand that the monster (whatever the hell it is) is a lot scarier when it's never seen at all than any design could possibly make it. |
| Needs more Lovepon and Nanko, and give Narna some lines. |
 |
| So...two dead so far. Judge guy and Yuttsun. Unless Judge was supposed to be able to survive a fall off a cliff (we didn't actually SEE him fall off the cliff...just fall down a hill...). Jack has escaped (someone let him out or he got out on his own) and is following the group that left. There is a monster? on the loose following the group that left. The group that left found a giant Mitsumune? Whatever the hell that is. I was guessing the tunnel was filled/blocked with dead bodies of the old villagers but...ok. And the bus driver is crazy. I wonder if the reason he changed his mind about joining them was if he saw his daughter... Another thing to note is that map...why did they go in a huge circle? The compass wasn't freaking out like it would if they were in a Bermuda triangle type place (since GPS doesn't work and the compass didn't help them) so I have to wonder if that map was a fake? This episode left me with more questions then answers. |

| Still... that giant Mitsumune though |
 |
| Despite of the exagerrated and pretentious dialogues, it's still interesting. Damn Lion still as cool as ever. And the most boring main character award goes to... Mitsumune |
| Oh My Arceus... this anime really got my attention... somehow, for me, this episode is way better than previous... 2 thumbs up yep, still hate Mitsumune and that lovey-dovey couple... RIP Hyouketsu no Judgness, and how Jack escape?? damn loli outta nowhere... Really like Lovepon's Psychotic looks |
 |
| I'm not really good when it comes to establishing theories but there were some things that bugged me! One thing I immediately thought was that if I was in Koharus shoes I wouldn't hand over my one and only map instead I would hold on to it even if I don't plan to leave but just to be sure. So that leads me to the idea that she purposely gave them a fake map so that they would get lost. It could be possible that she prepared two maps to begin with because she is one of the "culprits". Another thing that comes to mind is that Mitsumune had these weird hallucinations inm the first? episode but we never got to see sth like that again so maybe there was some kind of accident when that scene happened? I got the feeling that maybe MC is the most insane person and we are made to believe that he's just an annoying virgin so that the reveal will be even more shocking later. |
| i actually like this episode. I dont hv any problems with the MC and other characters being so bad and annoying, and I actually like it that way, so then i dont hv to sympathize too much with any of them, since there r like 30 of em! I do have some speculations: My first one would be: this lost village is actually cursed with something spiritual-related stuff, and that it can manipulate a person's mental and psychology and evoke their greatest fear, desire, regret, or despair, which kinda leads to how every one of them is hearing a different screaming noise; a human, a bear, etc. The bus driver even seeing his deceased daughter's spirit, cos that's probably the greatest pain that has been corrupting his mind. Second: They are all probably already dead and just didnt realized it lmao. it's nothing new or original in terms of plot i think, but i still enjoyed it so far. |
| I definitely agree that the monster/force or whatever it is changes based on who views it. All of them heard different sounds, the bus driver saw his daughter, Judgness saw Jack etc. I'm interested to see what its intentions are though. |
 |
| I feel like I'm watching a bad B-horror movie play out... I saw that most people think that everyone is suffering from hallucinogens or they're all dead and in purgatory. Both are good theories since everyone seems to be reacting differently, but the latter theory is more interesting. |
 |
| This reminds me of M.Night Shyamalan's The Village too much.... I'm starting to think its inspired by it. Best plot twist that could save this show is that the entire thing was a staged reality show and everyone was fooled into participating in it. |

| It's slowly turning into a horror. I like it! :D But... giant Mitusumune.. wtf? Jack - the best character in this show! |

this pretty much sums it up |
| "a giant Mitsumune" is that just pretty random or?... I also don't really understand about the daughter thing like, did he see his daughter? has he been there before? she died but he saw her? O.o can't wait for next ep for sure |
 |
| Trying to view this not as supernatural, but a mystery and taking this seriously, they gave a big part of the truth already away. Having two persons who look like each other is something that should not be in a genuine mystery, so we can assume that the person the bus driver saw was actually his daughter. Knowing that she's dead leads to the conclusion that he is hallucinating and that the scene was seen through his perspective so the illusion was shown to the viewer. This theory is also supported by the fact that the daughter vanished as soon as other people, who didn't share his illusion, appeared and changed the viewpoint through which the story is told. Connecting the events can lead to a theory like: The driver heard a knock on his bus door after everyone left. He saw his daughter standing there. She guided him to the village and he was secretly meeting her there. With that a theory could be made, that sets the driver as the culprit guided by the illusionary ghost of his daughter. However, the illusion may have had a completely different influence on him. In the same style the appearance and sudden disappearance of Jack can be explained as an illusion of Judgeness. However, there was a frame that has shown his open cell without anyone around, so this maybe was from an objective viewpoint. It could also just be that Jack escaped, went there, and while Judgeness fell down, hid himself in the dark. The "big Mitsumune" could also be explained as an illusion. The only other explanation could be a statue of him, but this would doom the plot to be utter shit. The question that stays is, how much of everything is real. Does the village even exist? (And if yes, I still want an explanation for how they found it and why the police can't find it even though they should have searched there for missing people) Are the characters even alive?, etc. My favorite theory is viewing the "tour to start a new life" thing as a metaphor for going to a psychiatry. If the Anime actually pulls this illusion thing right this could actually be a pretty nice mystery (hell, it would even be in accordance with Knox Decalogue) and the plot could actually become pretty good. But I´m not sure if they will actually go that way. |
