Dealing with a demon again? Also, Karin in a maid outfit! I was not ready for that.

Felt like episode had some intimidating moments and the mind games. I feel bad for Karin though. She deserves better.

Onigasaki is such a badass the way he threatened the demon.

Oshigiri is searching for his sister.

I'm impressed at how accurately they adapted this chapter, plus the style changes were really cool to see as well

All in all I'm really happy with how they did this ep :)

Onigasaki was too calm, he should have cut kikka head off.

Didn't MAL have a horror tag on this? I feel like it was the reason I had decided to watch this anime. Now, I can't find it, so I am wondering if I remembered things wrong. Well, this is a funny show, so I am still enjoying it.

The alpaca and Iride are both quite mysterious. I feel like the plot will get more serious when their secrets start getting revealed.

I knew Iride would fit between the bars, but it was still funny.

Well could be two reasons:
The series is a generic... something, and Iride is a goody-two-shoes who literally wants everyone to get along. So having Alpaca turn him down on his offer to be friends is a blow to him. Hopefully this is not true.
The series is serious enough for Iride to turn out to be an affection maniac and having someone refuse to be "his friends" or be charmed by him is a serious blow to his ego-ism. This idea, it can be said, is supported by the opening sequence, where Iride's and Roro's faces are shown in two different forms, Roro being just a stupid maniac and Iride dropping his smile. These could be their true faces. Remember when Roro cornered the mimic-monster in the bathroom, she hesitated when pseudo-Iride made a hideous smile. She commented that it is unfair, making such a face. It could allure to her actually knowing Iride's true self, and in that smile the monster looked almost like the real him, which startled her. In theory. Naturally, I believe Iride is a good guy and his affection mania does not stop him from genuinely caring for others, but hey.

He's just a very sympathetic and sensitive person I guess?

Anyone else get weird vibes from Iride? He's way too bright and cheery not to be faking some of it. I welcome some kind of twist to his character because he's very one-dimensional as he is right now. He was the first person introduced and there has been a decent amount of focus on him so far so he seems to be an important character to the show. Some more complexity would be fitting. I'm also a sucker for psychologically broken characters so

I think the with Iride's tears stems deeper then just him being sympathetic. Roro has been stalking watching Iride for a long time. When she was watching him on screen even she was surprised when she saw him crying. There was that rag on Irides eyes as well along with him holding a white piece of cloth, so I think Paka did something to him.

Overall I felt like this part could have been crammed into one episode. It would have been better had they rescued Oshigiri's sister or at least mentioned "Hey she's in the game just not here." There was nothing resolved.

My only guess is to why Onigasaki wants to leave the game is because his grandfather/father (they dont really say who was his master) is on deaths door and he wants to be there either out of spite or love imo.

I am enjoying the character interactions though. Kudou and Inabas interaction was cute when Inaba reminded Kudou of Iride and she started to glow lol. That was funny. Also when Makino just reached for a Rice Ball. I like subtle moments like that in anime. It was nice.

The Ones Within delivers another great episode! This time, Kaikoku and Zakuro get their time in the sun and we get to see a part of their backstories. Also, I'm a bit surprised that Paca decided to save Akatsuki. Maybe he has an interest in him? He did say he cannot leave the 13th Avenue because of a promise. This show has managed to keep a good balance between the character moments and the greater story and I hope the next episode is even better.

Iride crying? I can't fathom...
And Paka saving him in that moment, and not leaving of a promise, hmm I wonder why that will be.

Oshigiri and Onigasaki on their search of the way out, little backstory on Onigasaki's part on finding his sister.

Getting good with every episode.

As long as Iride isn't too screened I will continue watching it, I can't stand how he is too placed in our faces!

There are lots of characters that need development in this show, he Shouldn't rape screentime!

Definitely best episode imo. Although still isn't some amazing series, there's a lot mroe character development. And we get to see some interesting sides to our main antagonist. Everyone seem to have reasons, including Alpaca. I knew Alpaca didn't really want to have the cast die, or at least not yet.

The demon didn't really make it clear rather she remember his sister or not. And doesn't really explain what happened at all. So... still confused. I assume she don't remember, hence the lack of interrogation... But still felt inconclusive.

Karin in maid outfit and treating Iride is so cute. Definitely waifu material.

Also I'm happy to see i'm not the only person that get feel Iride is a bit weird. I feel like the Op at one point gives him a almost manipulative appearance. But it might be my imagination.

The fact that Iride was so calm was annoying, but his "Because this is normal for me" caught me off guard. And wow, the character development was amazing. Maybe the plot will get more serious as the story goes on. But for now, I think I'll enjoy the humor.

There is nothing hateful that I posted. And how do you know I can't have a civilized discussion or in-depth opinion? Do you know me or something? Have you seen all my posts on the internet? Are you basing your assumption on just 2 posts on this thread? And are you really going to act like the responses I got deserved "CiViLiZeD" and "iN-dEPTh" responses? Talk about stretching things, Mother Theresa.


what lol. read your own words. "I don't give a shit", "knee jerk fanboy reaction", "residentSleeper", tYpIng LikE a tRolL, calling me "Mother Theresa" - and its Teresa... lol?.

Plus, "are you really going to act like the responses I got deserved ..." Whaaaat? What part of their response triggered you so much? Their response was literally just "drop it if you don't like it" and " I thought it was interesting". neither statement has any reason for you to respond the way you did IMO. I just think you are overreacting and responding in a hateful way.

of course, it is still only two posts, but these two posts are my first impressions of you, and they give off hateful vibes and passive-aggressive syntax, whether intentional or not.

You know you could appear (if you want to try) a mature human being and not an uncultured little brat if you actually provided points of WHY an episode/series is bad. Like developed people do during discussions and arguments. Merely answering to someone's retort with an even more toxic retort does not make you look any better. Just... pity inducing.

There is a... one sided affection from one of the characters to the other.

Interesting to see that the view of the game characters don't always align with the view of the the supervisor(s) of the game. Don't know how to feel about the fact that the mc group can't be killed by the game characters unless the supervisors allow it, kind of takes the danger away.

Akki really is one weird kid for trying to befriend the person who holds him hostage
