| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Arc 2: Hasshaku-sama Survival. This is a long-ass one... Sorawo having suffered under some instances of the Kunekune last episode, and Toriko bringing her to an Otherside assistant Kozakura to find out more truths of the Otherside, most importantly, to find her friend: Satsuki. To encounter a man who's looking for his missing lover, the deep lore grows ever fonder. The folklore of "Spirited Away", huh. The thought of finding Satsuki & his lover within a Torii that contains the tall Hasshaku-sama, it's super creepy when even normal humans cannot identify the difference between spirits and emotions. Paired with Sorawo's right turquoise eye of being able to see spirits, this Hassaku-sama affair is as creepypasta like as any old folklore. Still not sure of what to think for this, but it could get interesting in the long run. Being someone who's interested in old folklore, this will be one intense ride. |

| That exploration was really interesting, especially with the woman/monster at the end, she really has the properties of an SCP it really reminded me of this world, and Sorawo being jealous of Toriko x Satsuki (even though I highly doubt we'll see her in the story) is interesting, I guess that's where the shoujo-ai tag is growing up, anyway it was interesting, now I wonder what will happen next, I also hope to see more info about that computer loli girl |
 |
| 2nd episode is out, best girl kozakura is here, and the plot widens! really loving the vibe that this anime has, yuri tag actually makes sense now with that kabedon at the beginning lol. the heterochromatic eyes look pretty nice on sorao ngl. kozakura's design also looks really nice so i'm glad about that. also, rip to that guy who was trying to find his wife lmao |
| Sorao getting confessed to by Toriko at the start? Listening to it for the second time, the op is a lot better than I remembered. Kozakura is pretty cute, 6 monitor setup too? damn. So we get the introduction of character Satsuki. Looks like their focus is finding Satsuki for now. RIP guy who was trying to find his wife. The urasekai causes many delusions, they gotta be careful out there. Also that was one scary woman/monster. |
 |
| Where did the guy go? He was searching for his wife. Is he dead? So the vanishing hand and the blue eye have something to do with the other side world. Wonder, what would it be? |
 |
| The portray of the character’s personality are exquisite, but the handle of the horror a is just...half-decent |
| So one of those, don't trust what you see, as it could just be a trick in order to draw you in. Dunno if that'll be a thing throughout the rest of the series, or if other creatures have their own way, but it certainly makes you second guess things. Really enjoying this so far. |
| Kozakura is a cutie, close enough to a female L. Was pretty intriguing and I'm starting to feel the setting, which made this episode more enjoyable than the first one. The yuri vibes are still disappointing so far, your average cute girls series has more spice. Before you @ me, I know the reason for that. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This episode was better than the first one, but I don't know if it's a merit of the production or because it was a more 1:1 translation of the source material. Still, I can't shake the feeling that moments that are supposed to be short are too long and moments that are supposed to be long are too short, which makes the pace feel weird. A pet peeve of mine that probably doesn't bother people nearly as much as it did me, I admit, so feel free to ignore. Kozakura's reaction to Toriko's translucent hand had a bit of a jarring editing: the emotion behind the 'Stop, you're freaking me out' barely lasts the length of the sentence, after which she immediately defaults to inertia again (in other words: the height of the emotion came with no build-up and died with no fade-out, this is usually a matter of editing, but also could be a matter of character acting). What points me towards the latter a bit more, actually, is the lack of visual expression of emotions on characters' faces: the VA portrays distress, but the character doesn't, making it a bit of an uncanny valley situation, but alas. Pet peeves aside, it was a step up in terms of writing compared to what we had seen. Hopefully it'll continue to improve. |
 |
| Liked it more than first episode. Really hyped after that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. talk from old guy. RIP |
 |
| I like Kozakura, she's cute. This episode was allright, we got to know a bit more about the otherworld and Satsuki. Also looks like Sorao has already started developing feelings for Toriko but Satsuki's the only thing on Toriko's mind. |
 |
| White messy hair+petite. Kozakura is already best girl. I liked this episode a lot more than the first. It was less confusing, for me anyway. I like how original this series feels. I haven’t really experienced anything like it. I suppose Kyoukai no Kanata is somewhat similar, but it’s refreshing to get a change of pace in anime. Feelings already blooming between Toriko and Sorao. |
 |
| If anyone's interested, here's this episode's "monster of the week" https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Eight_Feet_Tall |
 |
| Seeing Kozakura only once was enough for me to decide on my best girl. |
 |
| I'm LOVING this anime... surprised it has a score of 6.8? Love the references to the Elevator Game & Hachishakusama!  Yuri vibes |
| Sucks to be that guy.... Pretty good episode. |
| Kozakura is already best girl. The monster this time is quite frightening and you got to feel sorry for the guy. He probably died. |
 |
| The wall slam huh. Just as effective with girls as it is with boys. But gaining blue eyes and a translucent hand huh thats quite the price for their victory. Young as she is Kozakura's knowledge of the OtherSide is impressive. But to think that they will encounter armed humans in the other world though. Still the OtherSide seems to be one thats connected intimately with the supernatural. The Confrontation with Lady Hasshaku sure was fun. The combination of their new abilities sure proved to be quite the interesting combination. Overall an interesting ep that did well to both expand upon the OtherSide as well as the two main leads both in terms of motivation and ability. |

| This is getting really interesting |
 |
| A solid episode. I really like the music and some of the unconventional shot layouts. It helps give the anime more of a distinct experience. I like that they continue to show new monsters in the Otherside, but they often go from unbeatable to useless very quickly. I still find the characters pretty bland though, definitely the weakest part of this anime so far. |
| wtf that guy looks like older me. Great episode anyway. |
| I love this so far its getting really interesting cant wait for next episeode |

| I have to say, that was a much more enjoyable episode than the previous one. For the most part I understood what was happening. Toriko has a pragmatic approach to their adventures in the Otherside--hunt the monsters then sell the weird space cubes to her friend. The monster in this episode was quite haunting. It fooled Sorao into thinking Toriko was in danger. Being able to hear Sorao's thoughts gave her a chance to develop. We now know she's interested in Toriko romantically, which was inevitable I suppose. |
 |
| This series starting to look promising. I think Sorao knew she wanted to be with Toriko because they shared the same curse and now they are together against that world. And if that guy (RIP) was right, this could be a huge plot. Expecting the next chapter |

I don't know whether the writer or the director should be more embarrassed about this episode. So much of it made zero sense. I think probably the writer because that's where the episode began to fall apart first. The random girl who they swung by so that Blondie could infodump about something else was dumb, but not unusual. Then they found the random guy who first called up Chekhov's landmine (which proceeded to be ignored and forgotten), then launched into a bizarre tale about the alien secret society kidnapping people, infilitrating the government, and how his wife disappeared, so he discovered an unrelated other portal miles away in a different city and managed to accidentally stumble through it, and that's why he went from living in a penthouse to being a grimy homeless dude. All of this was leading up to monster of the week, which is where the direction fell apart too. Don't get me wrong, the writer was still struggling. It throws up a twist that Grumpy was the one tricked by the pitcher plant monster who creates illusions of what you want to see, which is then defeated by going "Oh wait, I have a magic eye that lets me see the truth." They handwave this off by "Oh, I guess I just ignored it." But the visuals on that scene were just bizarre. The monster was actually some kind of wooden gate(?) A severed head in a wooden gate? It's really not clear. And by touching it with your magic hand, that disables its powers? The same monster that vaporized a dude for coming within 20 feet of it? Was the vaporization on cooldown? Why are we running towards the disintegration monster after pulling away from it? The visual direction of the scene is just an absolute mess. |
| Kozakura best girl by far. I wonder what happened to the guy who was finding his wife? Did he get tricked and got drawn in by that lady figure. R.I.P I wonder what the blue eye and the translucent hand will do other than seeing/touching the wiggle wiggles in the otherside. |
 |
| So they have after effects of touching the wiggle waggle, a blue eye and translucent hand. Looks pretty dope though. That lady in the white dress is creepy AF. Rip that dude though, thought he found his wife, but little did he know that he was getting tricked by that THING. Kozakura seems like a nice character, she reminds me of someone. |
 |
| Hoky shit! They are detecting anomalies with bolts! Just like Stalker! |
 |
| Strelok, is that you? (For those whodidn't play Stalker, Strelok was the mc of that game and throwing bolts was a way to detect anomalies) Given where both mcs ended up at the very end of the episode I'm curious to see what kind of trouble return from the zone will result for them. With such unpredictable point of exit they may end up in places they'd prefer not to be. |

| There are things hard to understand and one of them is why this anime is somehow fascinating in it’s own way... Although not being an action fan in general, it keeps my interest in the plot really high. What can be found on the other side? What is the whole setup? All those questions demand an answer and I am pretty sure we’ll get it. Just want to say RIP to the poor guy who would do everything for his wife... |
 |
| Ooo, good mindfuck. Computer Girl is pretty cool. She needs a good brushing, though. Toriko actually has more experience with the Otherside than I assumed. Weird that her and Computer Girl seem to be amateur experts on the Otherside but they don't know what a wiggle waggle is. Sorao also has more experience than I assumed which makes her backstory more mysterious. |
| So there goes the yuri undertones. I love this episode, better than the first. Wish they will work more on the horror/jumpscare aspect as its kinda mediocre, SFX and creepiness are out of sight. Love the ED as well, gonna research whats that song. Hope its available in spotify. Kozakura's really cute,affff. Great episode. Hope it gets better as it goes. |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |
| Good episode with some solid new info without it getting too boring. My only complaint are that the characters feel a bit... bland. I think it is visual expressions that throw me off, but as of now there doesn't seem to be anything defining about them. But, I'm sure we will get that with the next few episodes. I am pretty intrigued by the group of supernaturals that kidnap people and the purpose of it. Promising series... |
| EP2 of SCP the anime was alright not a whole lot makes sense but im still interested ,kinda fucked they didn't react or care much about that dude just vanishing but at least they got his gun!? sure they just met but at least acknowledge the guy a little bit poor dude. |
 |
| love the extra after taking 12 hours to get home (and get lost) so opposite to the episode itself, but celebrating survival with lots of food and beer ajajaj |
| yandere lesbian is really a heavy burden. |
| Better than last episode. This one presented a more consistent theme, however I feel a better atmosphere and OST to accompany the suspense is still warranted. |
