| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- We're back :D The season wasted no time with reintroducing Tsurumi again. Then, there's some of the unorthodox style of the humor that I found to be pretty amusing. Tsurumi is one of those characters that I found to be rather complex even from the first season. Of course, Asirpa returns too and it's a refreshing sight to see her back. The feeling of the series recaptured the magic I felt again and I thought the narrative made Aspira stand out this episode. Sugimoto and Yoshitake are also back obviously. A pretty entertaining episode for the second season. We even got some hunting too! |

| It's not even up on Crunchyroll? |
 |
| That was entertaining. Slowly paced but a good return for Golden Kamuy. |
| Youre traitor, she's traitor ... everyone is traitor. I like how this show can make fun of everything lol, that fashion parade was golden. |
 |
| Oh boy it hasn't been that long, but I've missed this show and the crazy characters. In that regard it surpassed my expectations again, Edogai is, well...ehem strange.. |

| The far we go, the weird people get. I wonder how they will be at the end of the season. xD |
| Well, those 20 minutes were over quite fast. Obligatory new weirdo being introduced :D |
 |
ｏｈ ｍｙ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| Lmao that first half was super funny |
  |
| Good first episode, I'm glad this show is back. Also Edogai's outfits were something else lol. |
 |
| I'm so happy this show is back. Edogai is a very strange person. His outfits are quite something. This is the only good show that is airing this season so far. |
 |
| Finally this show has returned. It was great to see all the familiar faces again, and we even saw some new ones. That Edogai dude is quite the....interesting fellow. This was a great start overall, and I like the OP. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| It wouldn't be Golden Kamuy if we weren't introduced to at least one complete weirdo, and Edogai certainly fills that role very effectively. Outside of that truly bizarre fashion parade, this was a good return for this series, continuing nicely from where the first season left off and quickly getting the pieces moving again as the war for the tattoos continues. |
| And I thought that the last guy on first season was weird, then this guy comes xDDDDDDDDD. Oh my god, I love the Opening! I'm so ready for this :D |

| Ew I had almost forgotten about Edogai-kun lol. That voice acting when he was on top of a polar bear screeching for Tsurumi was beautiful. Edit: i'm back from rewatching this several years later and after finishing the manga. They really shouldn't have split-cour this and the first season. At least we don't start off with 3D bears which makes this superior. The voice acting adds so much, it's very Gintama in that aspect, you know where actually hearing all these weirdos elevates them and adds even more character to everyone. |

| One wrong turn and this should could be a meme like Jojo. |
 |
| Edogai is.... very weird. This was quite a distubance XD |
 |
| HINNA HINNA is back. And so is the rest of the gang, as crazy and over the top as they are. And seeing Edogai's fashion show animated was quite a surprise. It seems the producers will pull no punches. They'll show everything. Which means we might see some firsts for anime very soon. |

Watta way to start a 2nd season , with a lunatic homo guy. |
| It's finally back! I missed this show so much. That fashion show was something else lol. "It's a great name, boner" |
| I'll make this quick I missed this show, a lot |
| May our sweet and Merciful Madoka be with you |
| It's great to see Golden Kamuy again and it got to work very quickly with Tsurumi visiting the Taxidermist, Edogai, whose whole personality is a bit out of whack. Still, his fashion parade to Tsurumi was hilarious, though. =P Heck, the humour is one thing I missed the most about this show at the first episode had a lot of funny moments in general. The OP song used for the ending credits sounded really good, almost on par with Winding Road from last season. Overall, this was a great first episode of season two to get things underway again. =) |
the only fun part of this episode, i'll just leave it here lol |
favorite "new girls" from fall 2024 <3 (yeah i didn't watch much in 2025...) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| The author really likes creepy characters! Cheerring on Asirpa as always. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Ah I missed this series. So glad the gap between seasons was relatively short. That whole interaction between Tsurumi and the taxidermist guy was hilarious. Especially when they were doing the fashion show. lol I also really love those little segments where Asirpa introduces Sugimoto to parts of Ainu culture and lifestyle like with the edible plants in this episode. Glad they added one right in the first episode of season 2. Great episode, we're getting right back into it. |
 |
| Ainu Culture Tour is back. Really missed this series' unique, over-the-top and occasionally very subtle sense of humour. More quirky characters joining the cast is great. Lt. Tsurumi's harem is growing. A kid named Boner. Interesting. Made a great decision of picking up the manga after watching the 1st anime season. Is what I'd recommend for anyone who's digging the anime and has a chance to buy/download them. They have some cut material too, mostly "filler" / not related to the main story. Characters and humour got across me better than on the previous anime though. |
| the taxidermist scene was bizarrely creepy and darkly funny, which shows that this series is still playing to its strengths I'm glad its back, this is one of the most unique series out there right now! |
| Glad to have this back. Edogai is such an 'interesting' dude. XD The entire first was dark but also amusing. Tsurumi has got a pretty good plan though, to push fake tattoo's into the mix with originals. Second half was pretty decent too. Looking forward to next week. |
 |
| that opening going ham |
 |
| jesus never change Kamuy, if any media has taught me taxidermy people normally aren't sane maybe this tim- NOPE |
 |
| So the fortune telling woman is a betrayer, her shady ways did give her away a bit. Edogai is the creepiest bastard I've ever seen, the modeling of the skins with Tsurumi and talking with those corpses was eh. I guess this start is great and we dove in the mist of drama so soon. This second season will be good I can tell. |

| great opening sang by Sayuri！ |
| So Norman Bates has joined the cast... |
| More like Ed Gein, that first part was a bit too much for me. Glad the show is back though. |
 |
| It's back xD What a way to start the new season, that guy is so creepy omg. I was like wtf. So, some of the Ainu are fake Ainu and apparently, that guy who is with Asirpa is one of the fake ones. Missed this, glad that we have another season! Can't wait for more Asirpa x Sugimoto xD |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Omfg that was some weird shit, lmaooo. The sniper rubbing his eyes and being like, "what did did I just witness?," was pretty much my reaction. Anyways, so glad to see this back! First episode, and we are already getting a new conflict regarding fake Ainu. I really like Tanigaki, nice to see him on the move as well. Also, My First Story (collab with someone else) OP! It's hard to go after MWAM like what happened with IBO, but Hiro's voice also has that intense effect. |
 |
| Jesus Christ... and I thought Criminal Minds had some of the creepiest weirdos! Edogai makes them all look like wannabes compared to him, XD! Anyway, I'm glad that this anime is back! Let's have a good time seeing our MC's adventures and while encountering more weirdos! |

| Oh I missed how informative this show was. I truly enjoyed every minute of this first episode. The whole scene with Edogai and Tsurumi was hilarious despite of how dark it actually was xD Also, Tsurumi is slowly becoming one of my favorite characters I mean, for someone without half of his brain, he's really smart. The idea of making fake tattoos to confuse the other parties was really nice. Looking forward to the next episodes. This one was great although I noticed the fire animations are still the same. Let's hope the bears and wolves not to be the case. |
| Golden Kamui is back with weird scenes LMAO. Edogai's outfits lol. There's a traitor! |

| Nice to have this one back. Brutal and savage, yet always bizarre and hilarious. It's a great name, boner. |
| I think Edogai could hang with Shigaraki, lol. I wish I could've named one of my kids Boner..... :' ) |
