| Unlike the first game where Yuki was clearly the most experienced, Ep2 introduces Mishiro, a haughty veteran player claiming this is her eighth game. Viewers found the tension between Yuki’s silent observation and Mishiro’s overconfident leadership to be a highlight, especially as Yuki begins to sense that the other girls might already know each other. |
| Still very similar vibes to the first episode. I do think what makes this anime entertaining is the uncertainity for these girls and what's ahead of them. Curious to see what Yuuki can learn from Mishiro all this experience. She's still in this game where anything can happen and their lives are at stake. Would also like to see more background story on some of these characters. |
 |
| Mishiro seems a arrogant bitch she should trust Yuki more and work with her. |
| how about i leave a less cope heavy comment this time lol |
     |
| Cannot get over what a visual masterclass this is already. Just astounding. Well done, DEEN. Another really good episode, except for leaving off on a cliffhanger which I guess is to be expected. Last week we had the benefit of the hour long premiere, I appreciate them taking their time with the games they’ve chosen to adapt this season rather than rushing through them. I really like how this show is a social experiment on how people trust and work with others in life and death situations. It makes sense that Mishiro and the others didn’t take to Yuki immediately because realistically they don’t know her from a bum on the street and she does come off a little sus, BUT damn I wish they’d listen to her because you know it’s going to end awful for them. Deep down I think Yuki took it personally when Mishiro just wrote her off despite her experience in death games as well. That “fine, I’ll accept you as the leader” was full of venom lmao. Mishiro is gonna lead those girls to their death and she clearly don’t even really gaf about them because she left Kotoha even tho Yuki said she was alive. I do still wanna see how they sign up for these games and what the world is like to make young girls this desperate for money, but I understand why they just go from game to game to get right into the action. It’s such a unique show so far. |

| Interesting that this could be a flashback. Being put in a group where everyone already knows each other would make most people anxious because of the heavy bias. And this game also shows that having many somewhat experienced players isn't necessarily a good thing since ego and other players could become more dangerous than the traps when you stop listening to others when your leadership is questioned. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It's always the shy girl that dies first :( Previous episode was truly a treat with a one hour special. But this one left on a cliffhnager. Perhaps watching this bi-weekly might be better. If i have the patience to wait that is. |
  Stop dancing and help me out here (ꐦ¬_¬) But i'm dancing to provide moral support for you ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ ) |
| in the first episode it was her 28th game.. 2nd game was 10th.. are the episodes not linear? |
 |
| I can see a rivalry going on between Yuuki and Mishiro Mishiro is the kind of person that only cares about herself, Yuuki is just expressing her concerns of traps as an more experienced player but it was immediately rejected by Mishiro. However, I do believe they both need to learn from each other in order to become a better player in this death game. I believe that this relationship between both of them will not end with just 3 or 4 eps. The BGM of this episode is just adds more eerie and creepiness to the game. It's hard to predict what will happen next. Scrap Building is an interesting game and i wonder what will happen to the separated Yuuki and Mishiro team in the next ep. |
| It really hurts to see the inner dialouges not being here, but it makes it more cinematic, the better order would have been to read the ln after watching the anime... I was imagining enemies to lover so hard this time around... This arc will take 3 episodes... Be pastient everyone... Then the next arc would be 3 episode and the next would be 4 episodes... Love the pacing... The non-limear story telling means the arcs could be replaced and it makes sense they replace arc 2 and 3's place, now arc 4 would shine even better... No one is allowed to blame my girl mishiro, I love her sm... She is complex.. But according to what yuuki described last episode, she is the perfect player and this is game 10... so duh!!! I wanna spoil so bad... But i won't ruin anyone's experience... I live this arc... Next episode you'd be reminded of Kinko throughout the episode, Cry about it with me... |

| Great now I wish the episodes were longer like the first episode. It seems like Yuki and Mishiro are at odds with each other over leadership. Mishiro leadership got Kotoha injured and Yuki seems like she knows the rules of this particular game. Kotoha isn't dead so maybe Yuki can team up with her? Although Yuki has shown she's willing to win at all cost so maybe she will leave her? |
| Yuki's group in her 10th game are a lot less willing to trust her words. I think it's a case of since life and death is on the line, the girls who've already played together before would rather stick to what helped them out last game than what will in this one... Also, when Yuki's intuitive guess failed, a sinister thought creeped into my mind that the game host deactivated the trap in that hallway to make her look bad. It'd be good for ratings but absolutely cruel if so! |
 |
| Admittedly the first episode did kinda traumatise me but Im over it, I will say this show unironically has so far out of every anime I've watched literally ever had the best first episode ever. Like man I was thinking about that episode for ages after I watched it. Now I can collect my thoughts properly I can say this show is absolutely phenomenal, I don't know how well of a adaptation of the light novel its been so far but regardless it don't take away from this show being absolute cinema light novels are kinda notorious for skipping a lot with their adaptations. Everything so far has been incredibly well put together and man I absolutely love Yuki. Like Yuki's such a interesting character, you can tell she isn't good at communicating with others, she got put against a group who have all previously played together and her choice was to lie immediately, in that sense immediately no ones gonna listen or trust her. But even so I love that despite them not following Yuki's second suggestion it turned out Yuki was wrong and the path was completely safe. Immediately that shows to me that Yuki isn't perfect, despite this being her 28th or 29th game (I think may be wrong) she still makes mistakes at certain points. But moving on from that I was curious how the show would handle the side cast and each game, like if we'd get one game a episode and a new cast for each of them. Thank god they brought us a new cast though because genuinely it would have made 0 sense for the other 2 girls to have come back from episode one after what they went through together. But thankfully adding the characters in this episode who have prior experience like Yuki invites the opportunity for them to return in future episodes. (Assuming they make it out of the scrap building game) Mostly im curious on how Yuki will handle each game and group of characters with each of them. So far this show blows literally everything out of the water airing this season (Yes even Jujutsu kasien s3 by a landslide) Some random side notes though, it only just realised that couple minutes of just looking down a street with cars going by is actually the opening song. Absolute banger btw its been a while since I've seen a opening without vocals. Shadows house vibes. Also holy hell Yuki is gorgeous, they put so much emphasis on her heterochromia the details in her eyes is actually so stunning. This show also visually is stunning and so far they are doing a phenomenal job at building tension, like just that walking scene after Yuki warned them had me super tense like I was one of them. Finally like man why is it always the shy cute ones which have to die first, really tryna make us feel bad for the introverted ones. I mean I'd rather get blown up by a landmine then sawed to pieces but still why'd she have to be the one to take the hit. Side note number 5 million, I really wished each episode was 40 minutes long, would have probably sucked to produce but man it would have been so worth waiting another few seasons for |

| So we are looking at Yuki's early days when she started playing the game. It looks really tough to tell if Yuki is really saying the truth or not about her experience in the game to others. But we can certainly feel that Yuki has a good grasp of how this game actually works. I wonder how this will end for the other girls. The op of this anime is so unique. The music is kind just instrumental with visuals of road with cars. |

| Anyone noticed that the timer isn't showing us things in order from where the girls meet? From the 5:48 time in the episode, here's the countdown order in the anime: Introduction start: 05:03:45 Mishiro saying it was her 8th game: 05:02:16-05:02:05 After Kotoha and Chie introducing themselves the clock countdown is suddenly: 05:02:29-05:02:17 Mishiro nominating herself for the leader and Yuki asking why Mishiro should be the leader: 05:02:04-05:01:49 Mishiro saying that that Yuki is the only outsider and the leader should be someone they know, the timer is suddenly: 05:02:59-05:02:36 and after that 05:00:28. And later around 17:55 time in the episode, the countdown on the wall when the girls go by shows 04:12:52 and suddenly changes to 04:19:17 |

| @MaouNemesis oh that will be explained at the end of the arc, it's supposed to be inconsistent. (I read the light novel) |

| How did that episode felt like it was only 5mins, what the heck. Good same immersion from the first episode, im really really enjoying this. As expected, the other games will span across multiple episodes and seems like with this one– we went back to the past, on Yuuki's 10th game. Totally different from the first group with how Yuuki was basically cut off and nothing she says get across them. Yuuki is really interesting, she has that full intention of clearing the game while not abandoning others unless necessary, but with this group– she just left them disappointed. And she really thinks about how the 'viewers' (probably in-universe but could also refer to us) would find the games entertaining and uses that to solve the game. I thought the games could have different formats but I guess it's all escape games, just different methods? Well, it's only the 2nd one. |
| mishiro's va doesn't fit at all, imho. I thought that she would have a more ojou-sama+youthful voice instead of a mature one |

| @uselessDM yeah, that's my guess. The story doesn't seem to move in a chronological order. |
| na man, the chifhenger will kill me |
| So we're back at Yuki's 10th game now. I guess that means we'll be jumping around in time a fair amount in this anime, which I'm fine with so long as it doesn't get convoluted. She does seem slightly less assured here since the other girls already have their own group dynamic. Mishiro's arrogance is already annoying. I kinda hope she dies, but I doubt that since it seems like she'll be the manipulative rival character to contrast with Yuki's composed nature. The animal stickers at the beginning were interesting. Other than representing the six participants, I wonder if there's any meaning to their positions. |
| Great ep She looks younger, this gotta be a past game (obv bc of # of games that she stated). Tho, I thought it was the next game based on the fact that she was questioning how to pray when she said "God in heaven", which looked to be sum that she learned from Kinko. Tho, she stopped Kinko from praying. So this is definitely a past game. Director must be doing this for a specific reason to not keep the story linear. Damn, Blonde annoying asl and the ep just started lol. Considering how the rest of the group are acting, Blonde as a leader is effective, but too cocky abt her abilities and is quite forceful with no regard for feelings besides herself. They wasn't tryna listen and got Green boomed up. Good job Blonde. Such a great leader u are. Yuki might seem emotionless, but she can definitely lead the team better. Real interesting that Blonde won't trust the person with the proclaimed 10 games to her name, but Yuki is forced to trust those with 8,5, 4, 6 games to their name. Quite naive along with way of thinking after seeing that Green is apparently dead. Can't wait to see Blonde get humbled, hopefully. So now Yuki is with Green. Wonder how the series will go now. 9.5/10 |

| This show would be better off if they made every episode double the length in run time. If the episodes continue going on like this, having every 2 episodes end on an abrupt cliffhanger while having to wait a week for the next one, then it'll be a massive bummer. |

| @Niwaka-Samurai I didn't really notice her looking younger but yeah from what others said apparently its a jump backwards to one of her earlier games according to them |
