| This season is so rushed and inconsistent. The whole thing feels like a 4 year old trying to summarize a 600 page long book. Also how did they kill those two demons by slashing their guts? You can only kill them by piercing their eyes. What a mess. |
| oh god it's Norman! this show is getting better!!! 5/5. oh looks like manga readers are so pissed because of...too rushed!? |

| What can I say but : LMAO This guy wrecked the Manga and now he's wrecking the anime in a different and somehow even worse way. This takes talent. |
| Them being chased by demons is not scary because every other time they've been in danger they've easily escaped, or were miraculously saved by some outside force. And what do you know, they magically get saved again. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| Thoma and Lannion continue to be utterly insufferable and continue to ruin the show with their screentime, as well as randomly moving the plot along with their idiocy like in this episode. This episode was still a substantial improvement on everything else we've had in this second season so far, but that really isn't saying all that much. If those two brats could just die or otherwise be cut from the show, that would be fantastic. And now Norman is back for some reason. No explanation, no logic, just randomly there. Way to diminish his sacrifice entirely and to once again rob the episode of any tension by giving the protagonists yet more plot armour. |
| Damn, so, they could survive from the previous pursue. Good shit, even though their conditions seems pretty bad regarding every hardships they received previously. Demons had a low-tier caste too among them, forcing them to consumed such a low-tier part of bodies, and sometimes stealing a children directly from the farm. Wow, what a harsh life they've got there, to be honestly. That old demon even called it as a degeneration disease, and may soon reached a revolting states to all of them. Idk. That situations may lead them into a cooperation, tho. But, ah, i still can't digest the future events from now on. One thing that i can be proud off about this episode, was Norman reappearance. Yeah, its him. Welcome back. The ed glimpse is the only foreshadow. But, how? It may jumbled up the original story in the manga, and somehow that tall character maybe your familiar one. But, once again, i know nothing. I am truly lost a hope about this, and already regret my decision to picking up this one. Because the original story will lead into a several rejection, myself, ironically, may reject this kind of story too. Reason: no suspense, only a pity; no thrilling matters again like before, that demons truly too dumb compared to the plantation residents; the plot armour just openly visible with no proper explanations about that, at least on this episode; the pace flew like crazy hell, and the mystery elements just be there to closed many weaknessess i mention. But well, whatever, i may still continued watching this, because its still intriguing me. I hope its get a nice conclusion. Thats it for me, and 6 episodes way to go. |

| It is all anime original now. I can say that I'm disappointed that they skipped those arcs before leading up to this. Well , I heard it's the mangaka's decision, so the action is already done. |
 |
| Every reveal just feels lackluster without the chapters they skipped. Don't get me wrong, I think on it's own I think it's still good, but it could've been way better. Personally the way it's going now is even worse than the lowest points of the manga. The arcs they skipped would've build the demon town up and Norman's return better. Even if I didn't read the manga the reveals would have still been underwhelming. Well I'll still try to enjoy it on it's own, there might still be something good that comes out of this. But, it really doesn't hit as hard. |
 |
| I guess not reading the manga really has its perks. Damn, Norman. I was really scared for the kids and I honestly felt bad for those two demons. Them poor demon kids are gonna die soon. Also, me being an anime only and watching this, I also thought they skipped a lot. What happened in between the previous and recent episode? How did they get there in the demon town? Ugh. So many questions that I felt bad for the manga readers more. |

s4gge said: why are manga readers so mad, just keep reading the manga if you like it and don't watch this? as an anime only nothing has gone wrong so far, it's been pretty good. people shouldn't watch it for "how well it's adapted", people should watch it for how well it delivers a story. a decision to make it an anime only must've a reason behind it, maybe they want to change the apparently "bad" ending i've heard about I mean... That's what I'm doing. Like I said somewhere else, I'm just disappointed that some of my favorite moments & characters in the manga might not get animated at all. Plenty of manga readers would agree. I don't mind adaptations that need to tweak a few (or many) things, but I don't understand why the anime is already barreling towards the controversial ending. I can understand the mangaka (who's apparently heavily involved in this season, like the scripts and stuff) wanting to fix his mistakes... but it's like they're cutting out all the parts that were mostly well-received and jumping straight into the latter half of the manga. I'm glad some of the anime-only's are still enjoying S2, but I am starting to notice a few comments about the awkward timeskip, plot armor, and lack of character development. Edit: Some of these problems were in the manga too, but at least the pacing felt more natural and the characters more consistent. |

s4gge said: definitely understandable. i hope they'll make it something even better than the manga so we'll all be satisfied. the time skip really was a bit out of place, not gonna lie Yeah! I was holding off on watching S2 until I finished the manga (almost done) and because I wanted to wait for the dub, and I assumed this was going to be a 1:1 adaptation more or less. But now I'm tuning into this drama every week lmao. I'm still hoping S2 might rearrange some things and redeem itself, but it sounds like a lot of the plot points they did adapt from the manga lost their impact (even for some anime-only's) because there wasn't much buildup. I'm also really worried they're going to cram the rest of the manga into just this one season. I'm sure both manga and anime fans can agree more episodes/seasons (as long as they're quality) would be better than rushing through ~150 chapters. |
| They said it 6 months already from last episode...they didn't explained how they got here.. Emma hair looks different now... I'm Anime only and i can feel it they skip a lot... Hopefully they explained it somehow.. Also WTF Norman is Alive??? 😱 I heard on Twitter Episode 6 was a Recap Episode... Like why? |
 |
| Well, there you go, a fucking original storyline... Though I guess its rather interesting especially for anime-onlys.. that's the thing, if you've read the manga, seeking the same experience from the anime, I think you'll have a bad experience. That's me :( |
 |
| I enjoyed it...lol |
 |
ttcchen said: And they spent a whole year in that place and Emma is still uncertain about their situation? Oh, so you're telling me during this entire year Emma and her gang are in the forest and town gathering food, no wind blew past at all?? This episode would have made more sense without the timeskip. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| Whoa , you mean to say that even in the Demon realm , there is still a hierarchy system where the lowest suffer and the rich prosper. Uh, oh Emma shouldn't not have taken two more excess baggage , now they're in trouble.... Looks like somebody has came back, and it's Norman, but it kinda looks very fishy. |
| Holy shit they are speedrunning manga faster than some guys Super Mario World! What is the point of od adapting the manga while throwing like 4+ volumes through the window? This episode should be at least the big ending scene of the S2 or even better the 1st scene of S3... |
 |
| I still find it hilarious that the kids are ninja jumping on top of roof tops when they are starving, pressured under pursuit and wearing baggy clothing xD |
 |
| People complain that the manga sucks and then they change the manga and people complain that it isn’t faithful to the manga. Can’t win these days :/ Really good episode. Can’t wait to see what happens next. |
| Maybe they'll adapt some of that skipped year of content as a flashback while the gang tells Norman what happened so far... |
| this episode was much better than previous one |
| a good ending to the ep!! this ep really flew by. glad to see norman is alive. mixed feelings about the time skip, it felt a little jarring tbh. |
| This is getting more and more boring... |
 |
| Yeah this was some shit. I like the idea of them having to rough it in the demon world. But how we got here was such ass with the pointless "secret" base that turned out to be a load of shit. They tryna make us give a shit and justify why demons "need" to eat humans. The only way I could ever be justified that demons eating humans makes any sense is if demons were supposed to be so vastly more intelligent than humans, that human society is just trivial nonsense. But clearly those two demons are dumb as fucking bricks because they couldn't managed to catch a few humans in a town of (supposedly) all demons. Like these demons have a very human like society, and from this episode we see they are very clearly capable of human levels of compassion and morality. But nah lets just fucking kill and eat humans. Not like we can understand at all how they might feel sad over their sick little sisters. Also maybe be careful taking your masks in a demon town, but apparently Norman has like half the town in his squad so it's all good. |
| Welp, guess this show will go down in history as one of the worst sequels for an acclaimed shounen jump adaptation ever. It's really just a disappointment. They could've just called it quits after the Goldy Pond arc, and left it as a great but unfinished adaptation, but no. They had to go and ruin the story even more than the ending of the manga has. Classic. |
 |
| This is honestly beyond expectations at this point and far from a good way as well... I can't help but be disappointed on what's going on. |
 |
| The only thing I have to say about this episode is......... Norman! Really looking forward to next episode...... can't wait! |
 |
| Oh boi this is a dumpster fire. Skipping the second best arc, huge timeskip (skipping the seven walls plotline altogeter), bringing back Norman in a different way...but if he is with that experimental farm right now we may still get the |
| Curious where they are going to take things. Loved the manga, but this isn't that bad. |
