| This episode was rough to watch especially Shinonome 's memories. Looks like they had to deal with another monster on the loose. However, I find the part about Shinonome more interesting regarding his past. This show seems to be getting heavier on drama now with this episode. He's also a selfless character who goes out his ways to save Yuuhi and taking that fatal blow. Damn. |
 |
| Outside of the "saving the world" mechanics, Amamiya has his life too. but a family-approved date with Samidare, Amamiya is living on 7th Heaven lols. And I almost forgot that her father is the stalker that's stalking them all the way. Being a hardcore fan of her father as an author, plus the coincidental surprise being Samidare's birthday, this is a family celebration of a happy birthday. Sami's life force built upon the Anima before the Biscuit Hammer strikes Earth, and almost immediately, within the eyes of The Knight that is Hangetsu Shinonome, he'a also accepted by their father for Hisame. What a smooth dad. But Shinonome's Knightly stance is not something created out of birth, but someone raised just like any typical kid, plus a trauma...not the kind of hero of justice's alluding to. The golem of the week strikes back, and until this point, Amamiya really struggled with defeating them, which Shinonome gives his pep talk as means of encouragement. But with the onslaught of getting hit hard by the golem, the same way that his dog Saw got struck down by an accident, Shinonome becomes the selfless hero to save Amamiya, and the latter's shoulder of responsibility just got added more. What a way to miss the Knight, Hangetsu Shinonome. You're an interesting character. |

| Hangetsu's death hurt even more in anime form, especially seeing the blood slowly drain through his body. It is all the more saddening when you realize he might've been able to help Samidare and Yuuhi deal with their defeatist mindset in regards to adulthood. Yet, like any good coming of age story, their lives move on, and the story only gets better from here! |
| Hows this anime get even worse as we go along? Yuuhi is trash and Sami's reasons for destroying the Earth are dumb as well. Not to mention the animation in this is LAUGHABLE. When Hangetsu got punched I was laughing so damn hard for how awful it is and yet this anime takes itself so damn serious. This show is trash and I can't wait for it to continue to burn into the ground. |

| The punches and kicks don't even have any weight now. Such a shame. On the other hand, Hangetsu's death was handled somewhat well, with the camera switching to Hisame looking forward to the movie. |
 |
| What? Is Hangetsu pepsi for real? That was way sooner that I thought it would happen. |
| Was just me? or did you feel the music to be quite oversaturated at some points? |

| Hmmm...well honestly my initial reason to comment in this thread was gonna only be to note how awful the walking animation for Saw was in the flashback where he/she died, but then Shinonome ups and dies in the same episode we learn about that. Look, I've read the comments, some at least, so I know complaining about the poor animation and whatnot isn't exactly treading new ground at this point, but I do feel compelled to say that this death lacked any real...gut punch reaction from me is the best way to put it I suppose. I'm not a reader of the original source manga, but Shinonome or the dad was gonna die soon I felt, I didn't know which, because the death flag just seemed so obvious. But considering this enemy looked not much different from the other generic golems I wasn't sure it'd be this soon. Plus like I said we literally just learned about his "tragic backstory" earlier in the same episode. Gotta give it some more time to breathe and sink in, I think. But this just lacked all impact. Maybe that's the point though, the minimalist, brutal, stark nature of death. I can at least appreciate it on that level if that was the intent I suppose, but I prefer to actually care in my fantasy deaths personally. Unless it's a horror series or something. This just wasn't doin' it for me. Given how awful this show's reputation is though maybe it landed better in the source manga, I dunno. |

| Despite all the hate for this adaption, I didn't think it was that bad. Until this episode. Hangetsu's death was just too anticlimactic. They built up his character so much, promised more interaction between him and the MC, then he just... died. I read the manga a decade ago, and don't remember it all that well, but I remember his death being more significant. They also cut the episode at a horrible point. He's dead, but there was no time to see it set in, no time to see the characters' reactions. By the time the next episode starts, his death will have lost most of its impact. |
| I can't believe they cut out Ludo's line telling Yuuhi to not trust the Owl Knight! This adaption somehow keeps getting worse and making it really hard to justify why I was so pumped for this adaption. |
You Know You Want To Click Them :D     |
| The animation is still pretty bad (especially the fights), but I'm surprised that Shinonome's death actually moved me a bit. After all, we've only seen him for a few episodes, and we're just now learning about his backstory. His death was handled rather well, but it's gonna be hard seeing how everyone copes with it, especially Hisame. I wonder if this will provide proper motivation for Yuuhi to get stronger |
 |
| rest in peace Hangetsu, he managed to become a hero in the end. If anyone missed it, Sami said her reason for wanting to destroy the Earth, she is sick and will die shortly after the fight after the spirit of Anima leaves her. And she doesn't wanna die alone, a very pessimistic view but that's Sami for the moment |
    |
| Wait, they cut out Ludo warning Yuuhi and Noi about the owl? Like, seriously, why the hell would you do that? |
| Was not expecting to see a drunk lizard today. |
| WTF! Yuuhi. You're too weak. You think big but you can't do anything but be a burden to your team. And the worst point is you stumbled and lost balance because of that small rock? |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| omg! that was some unexpected early deaths! RIP Hangetsu! 3/5. |
 |
| worst episode yet... so disappointed in the animation. watching this with my boyfriend, after begging him to read the manga and he kept refusing... he finally caved because this episode was so egregious. the death was handled so much better in the manga, and even checking out the chapters this episode animated, the manga tells it so much better, and there are these details that the anime completely left out.... if anyone still cares about the story please check out the manga. Even the panel layout makes it a more interesting experience than this 🤢 |

This just wasn't doin' it for me. Given how awful this show's reputation is though maybe it landed better in the source manga, I dunno. To me, the purpose of Hangetsu's death is to show the death of Yuuhi's selfish disposition. You'll see more of why his death is so well utilized in the story later on, especially in regards to how it impacts the goals of our protagonists. |
Jumoji said: I can't believe they cut out Ludo's line telling Yuuhi to not trust the Owl Knight! This adaption somehow keeps getting worse and making it really hard to justify why I was so pumped for this adaption. I know right!! They also cut out the Crow Knight's smile scene earlier on! Though these aren't too important, they build up interest for the future of what the story will bring past the Hangetsu death scene. |
| With Hangetsu officially died, my faith for this anime has perished completely. Wasted Potential of The Year. Just read the manga, it probably 100x better than this crap. |
| The backstory with the dog was really sad and Hangetsu’s death was graphic with all the blood. I honestly don’t remember that much blood in the manga. |
| They did Hangetsu dirty, killing him off before that date. Otherwise, I really wasn't expecting him to die so quickly. I guess that goes to show that this story isn't messing around. In the back of my mind I was even kind of thinking that all of Samidare's talk about destroying the world and dying young was going to be bullshit. Now I have to wonder if that "death pact" is for serious. Either way, aside from the rough-as-always fighting animations, it was a pretty interesting episode. "Now Hangetsu's is yours," was his wish to transfer his power to Yuuhi? It's hard to tell whether this was meant as something metaphorical or not, but I guess Hangetsu used his wish for Yuuhi's sake. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| That red flag speedrun was crazy, why Shinonome? |

| This is easily the best episode so far but it's also translated awfully into the animated form. The dog is barely animated is just hilarious to look at. They just killed off one of the best character this early and I also don't really like why he is the one that must die, maybe for necessary plot device for Yuuhi's growth. The death scene really fells flat given Hangetsu only appear for few chapters only. Oh just like the previous comments state, they just cut off the necessary clue of Owl knight which is really a bad decision to do. Kinda deserving this low of a score. |

| Why do these characters keep acting like a 20 yr-old is not an adult? Why are any of these people ok that a 20 yr-old wants to be with a 16 yr-old |

| Dog animation and style had no cohesion. I cried how badly Hangetsu's death was portrayed in anime. |
 |
| Would've been the best episode yet if the visuals were atleast half decent, but hey no point in wanting something you know you won't get. Good guys always leave first, will miss Hangetsu. |
 |
| RIP Hangetsu. He will be missed. |
 |
| I really don't like this MC anymore. It's disappointing how Shinonome had to die because of this MC being a pathetic burden. The way the mc sent the princess away I feel like he might have done it intentionally since he already said that he wanted to get rid of Shinonome cuz he could be a threat to their plan. If they were gonna do this to Shinonome then they could at least let this incident happen after his date with Hisame. |
| Okay but did y'all see that dog (Saw) walking?? MY SIDES! Hahahaha! But yeah man, wtf? I was like just getting used to the dude's presence. Just gonna kill him off like that? This is episode 5! Like what-- |
| Damn they really killed this series best character after he just scored a date, rip Hangetsu. |
 |
| Wait... The dog warrior is dead?! |

| Damn our MC looks 200x worse than how bad he already looked This dirtbag wants to destroy the planet and is getting scared over nothing and freaking out because a single person is dead/dying, get out of here It's sad he died, he was kind of cool. I guess he was overpowered for the show compared to other two so had to nerf. edit: the dog walking was definitely a big thing for me too LOL |
