Little Red Riding Hood
Well that was an unsettling reverse situation.
Didn't get all the Sci-Fi elements though

Is it just me or is the red hood girl's neck so long?

I feel like in every story we’re going to see a character with pink-ish hair, green eyes and a green gemstone like Charlotte: in episode 1 we had the doll and this episode there was the old lady. I wonder if they are just some sort of cameo or if it’s going to be relevant by the end

I dont know bout yall but i would let her sit on me like she did to the guy. I wonder if every ep will feature a female showing that she can do things just like other men, lol.

Very gore-ish episode. Not my cup of tea. While the 1st episode was really awesome, and quite twisted, here most of the things didn't really make much sense. I hope the next episodes will be better than that.

I'm not against explicit violence on screen but this could have been more artsy and tasteful. Also, since the main theme is Little Red Riding Hood I kinda expect it to be more sexual and sensual, especially the big bad wolf. Turns out Cinderella's prince charming is even more sexual than this big bad wolf.

It's a nice episode, but it could have been better executed - especially in terms of story and concept

If there was one really good thing about this one: Scarlet (the "Little Red Riding Hood" of this story)

I didn't really comprehend everything about this episode, but I liked the finale at least, a little bit confusionary

Yikes, I definitely preferred the first episode. I found this one hard to watch. All the tech/futurism stuff was just flavor but they spent so much time on it. The characters were really superficial. At its core it's just a fairly straightforward subversion of the original with fluff tacked on, nothing too interesting going on. Totally fell flat for me.

I didn't like all the explicit guro torture crap and the AR stuff was confusing.

Way more fun than Cinderella's. Maybe it's the attractive wolf, maybe it's how Little Red deals with him, this was way more engaging. Wolf manages to be evil in his disregard for other people, but somehow avoids being cartoony or just coming across as mean.
Also heeeey an actual red hood! I was at first disappointed with the red dress and felt like it was going to be as boring as the first one but I liked it way better lol.

From the trailer I knew this show has an unique take on the fairy tales. Ep1 was alredy weird with psycho Cindirella. This episode there was not a single normal person holly was not expecting that. Loved it

Ok I thought Cinderella was a little confusing, but Little Red Riding Hood is that on crack. I don't think I understood what I just watched, so if anyone can clear it up it would greatly be appreciated. I have a lot of questions: @Shenhe lol

How does the "Real" actually work (is it like Ready Player One rules?)? It was very confusing to tell what was IRL and what was AR, I think that was the point but still. How does it work you take the eyedrops and your reality shifts? How do you know where you end up? Where's the police or security? How does immortality work if it's just AR, you are still aging IRL?

Who is our MC (the only thing I know is he supposed to be the wolf) ? Is he a person of power? If not why does he have a secretary what does he do?
Where is the Huntsman btw? And why does the Wolf Gang even exist? Who is Mr. Brown is this legalized killing I don't get it? Population control it's never explained
Why does Grandma act as a broker for killers, like what is going on... is this the Blackmarket?

Anyways I don't know how to review this episode if I did not understand 80% of what happened. Like it was cool that Little Red Riding Hood tricks the Wolf and kills him but I can't appreciate her wits/trickery if I don't know how the world works. Again like Cinderella the flashback reveal is very surface level. Like aha bet you didn't see my plan coming. I will admit the beginning was a cool set up until the secretary scene (so the first 12 mins). The animation and osts were amazing as always because its WIT. The gore was fun, nice nod to Higurashi (I see what you did there). Hopefully episode 3 is better. I will finish the series. Cinderella is my favorite so far. I rate this episode a 3/10 (unless someone wants to change my mind and explain to me what just happened lol).

People who find the series confuising should just turn the brain on and pay attention. The plotsa so far are not that hard to follow. And they are not written to be deliberatelly confusing like recent Metallic Rouge for example.

Seriously reading the comments that makes me confused? People, are you sheltered 14-year olds from some rural US south? You cannot follow the plot, you are afraid of fictional blood and gore and you rate it low just because you do not get it?

After the first episode, this one is disappointment IMO. I really don't like the sci-fi aspect. Idk, I feel like there's no point on using sci-fi here. It just weird.

I've only seen 4 episodes so far, but this was easily the worst imo.

There really wasn't much of a "twist" at all, as the spin on the story was so easy to see coming so early in the show. The entire time I was expecting Little Red Riding Hood to hunt him, so when I saw him take a drink of what she poured him, I was instantly disappointed I was correct. Even an idiot would know better than to trust a random alcoholic drink from a stranger, especially one in some crummy dystopian future where so much terrible stuff happens.

Even worse, neither character had much depth of any kind to them. I didn't have any interest in them. I only kept watching in hopes of some cool take on the story, but no.

YES! SAME! I was like, "okay, surely this isn't all going to be torture porn but with GASP another obvious ki... oh, okay, that's exactly what it is. Neat."


I'm already not really a fan of gore, but I can take it (in animated form) as long as it serves a purpose, but nope, this was just overly long kill after overly long kill. So not only gross, but boring.

But anyways, the differences between episode 1 and 2 are so stark, that I am curious about what the next story will be. I'm assuming no more torture-porn now that they got it out of their system.

I'm glad Grey received exactly what he dished out by Scarlet. But I wonder if Scarlet was looking for cruel murderers like Grey or if that didn't matter at all. This episode was good!

So, now we have a peculiar mix of Dexter, Matrix, Black Mirror and typical stories about how the hunter himself becomes the prey. Still unexpected and intriguing, although not as impressive as the first episode. Let's see what will happen next.

@moonjar The man lured and brutally killed girls, serving as a kind of metaphor for the gray wolf. But one of his victims turned out to be too smart and calculating, brutally killing him herself as a metaphor for Little Red Riding Hood. It's quite simple and practically stares the viewer in the face.
