This show should be subtitled "Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer".


That's exactly what I wanted to say.

Although the anime is not perfect and this episode had many similarities with the first one (overconfidence effect), I find it catchy. The voice acting, the animation, the sense of mystery and horror it gives the watcher, they all make it a good show.

I also love the opening song, it's becoming one of my favorite ones, definitely my favorite in this season - on par with Inuyashiki's.

Yo what ... I did NOT expect Dog to die just like that WTF LOL. That was so out of the blue XD I guess my year's out already ... are they gonna go through the zodiacs in reverse order?! XD Interesting to see more characters this time and their "styles" and abilities, like Monkey and Rat together and the Bunny trio. Though we have (crazy) Chicken out there now too and Ox vs Horse it seems. I kinda like Sheepy :3 Boar is confirmed dead. Shame, this show is good at getting me to like characters before killing them off lol XD Though as long as Monkey doesns't win I think I'm happy :P ED was good too! Very pleased with how this is turning out :D

Enjoyable episode, will probably keep up the pace of 1 death per episode.

I did not see Boar's death coming last week, but this time I saw Dog's death coming a mile away.

You can't fool me twice that easily!

much better episode than the first, i really liked the wolf/dog and chicken combo (sounds like i'm talking about food) but wtf... he died... of course i thought he must die soon because he actually had a antidote and could take his sweet time with the other poisoned zodiac members, but seriously... :[ ugh man feels bad. i was even planning out what would happen later on: he'd see that she's worth more than nothing, they'd be great companions, die along the way while appreciating each other's teamwork. loved you when you were here. that power up he gave to the the chicken was terrifying to watch, jesus. i was in shock for the rest of the episode when she f*cking crushed his head, she's getting my viewer angry fist and revenge down the road for sure.

This anime is unpredictable about who may die, I thought the chicken and the dog would form a great bond but hey it is what is.

Damn, Chicken Killed Dog.

At this point am finding the show too predictable. It looks like they won't kill anyone until they show some sort of backstory. But hey, it's just the second episode. Things may change.

Ox vs Horse noooooo my top two picks, why they gotta meet so early!? Also Dog got what was coming to him immediately lol

Pffffthahahahaha! I thought that Dog would be killed by Chicken but I didn't think it would happen like that. It caught me off guard and got me to laugh for a while.

Much better than the first one. Actually liked both Chicken and Dog. Dog seemed smart but he surely was not. It was pretty obvious that Chicken is not a newbie, otherwise she won`t be there. But I liked the outcome.

The less the Bunny the better. Disgusting design, bleh.

That was cheesy how he let his guard down. He didn't keep a safe distance.

Out of character.
And still, Bill will live on.
He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god.
And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living,
until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet.
Until the sun is long since gone.
Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars
and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open.
Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from.
He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out.

Very predicable show, i'm already know the rooster girl will die in the next episode.

Fun watching, but the execution are pretty problematic.

I'm guessing about one death per episode?
And it will follow the pattern of going backwards in the zodiac? (Which I believe the ending shows as well... I need to watch it more closely next episode.)

This show is looking good so far. Nice balance between exposition and action. The visuals are nice, no slice of life antics or self insert shonen characters to be found. The show is treating the battle royale concept with respect.

As for characters dying after they're fleshed out, I honestly consider that better than the alternative where characters die where we know nothing about them. This way, all the characters of the battle royale are fleshed out and no main character is estabilished which maintains tension.

Unlike the fate series where we know Shirou and friends or Kiritsugu have plot armor, no one has plot armor in this show and we can never be sure who will win until the very end.

As of right now, this is a 7/10.

What the heck... I guess I'll remind myself if anyone appears overconfident, they are probably going to die.

Cant believe Boar is really dead though...

I can live with the show being a little predictable, but hope the deaths aren't as underwhelming throughout, as others have said it was kinda obvious dog would die but it was super anticlimactic!! Rabbit is my fav so far even though he hasn't seen much screentime! Hope he doesn't meet an early death and makes it to the end

Seems like they should stop thinking they have it all planned out are going to win with their perfect strategy because that's twice it turned out badly.

Poor dog, I'd say his death was even worse than Boar.
