| outstanding episode !!! this will be more interesting i'm pretty sure !!! |
Zeoraimer said: Short_Circut said: reason she attacked him was that she wanted the coin. Like if Shuuichi just continued his normal life like he was doing all this time, then there'd be no reason to attack him in the first place? Except that Hikawa was willing to kill whoever has seen her face. that's because her identity as a monster whatever was discovered though. If she managed to take the coin and escape she probably would've not ended up trying to kill them |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Hopefully they'll be able to keep these fights up, I'm really interested in the range of abilities they may introduce. I just hope our MC's don't stagnate and actually develop. Also, does this count as Shuichi losing his virginity lmao |
| I hope that ryona lovers are ecstatic because this was really awesome and brutal fighting animation, didn't expected sakuga of this caliber for a one off fight in the second episode of the show, anyway I loved it, too bad for the tomboy sport girl, she could have been a good ally but got donut-ed. Seems like the author is really proud of his reverse sexual metaphor with the girl penetrating the guy instead of the opposite but as for me, an almost naked girl entering a mascot suit full of flesh and body fluids is a fetish I didn't know I could get but I got in the end. Drama somewhat wasn't that cringy and even kinda good, I feel this hero has a reason to be afraid even if I'll be jubilating at his place but still, they both are understandable if you consider Claire is clearly a fucking psycho. We got Kana Hanazawa in an onee-san role ? Alright best show of the season, even Kaguya can't compete, I'm sorry 10/10 would tuturu again |
| This shit's weird as fuck. I'm genuinely uncomfortable. And the fanservice is so incredibly unnecessary. This anime is just trying its absolute hardest to be a Mirai Nikki clone and it's expectedly worse than Mirai Nikki, which is already a terrible anime. 2/10, dropping. |

| This show is wild and I love it! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| holy shit that animation on the fight was clean im looking forward to more of this so far so good |
 |
| How the hell is this show rated 6.8 is beyond me, the animation is amazing and the story is intriguing to say the least. I can't wait for the next episode. |
| Damn, a bit more violent than what I was anticipating lol... Another good episode. 8/10 |
| Damn that was some good fighting animation and the female MC has a huge set of balls for both of them. |
| Don't know why people are complaining about the fanservice when the characters are so damn attractive, but to each their own I guess. |
 |
| To be honest I was a little hesitant to start the second episode because the first one was not that good. After watching it peaked my interest though. Besides I would rather watch this then some trash Isekai |
| I like the side chick Clair shes not afraid to kill unlike the mc but well see if he will go some character development, hope so. |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| You guys hear "Clair"? All I hear is "Kureha" lol. Welp. This gonna be good. Kojiden said: The fact that this anime has a 6.8 is proof that MAL scores are meaningless. Yeah. I wonder how many more people will keep calling this edgy and give it a low score, even though both seinen and ecchi genres are present, lol. |
| bruh |
| Alright, time for me to break down everything in this episode. For one thing, the animation.. here's the deal. The fight in this anime had more of my attention then pretty much anything this season so far. Tower Of God? Nah. Good old fashioned Gleipnir looks like it came out on top this time around. Every punch in that fight had weight to it, every kick had force that dented the environment. Welp it helps when both combatants are giving it their all, that's what allows for it to be gripping. Nice little bit of back and forth, clearly the combo of Claire and MC can do a lot more then MC on his own. On the subject of restraint, it's time to talk about our girl Claire. First episode, she was kinda bitchy. After this episode though, there's a clear shift in the dynamic of the relationship between our main duo. It's as she said in this episode, he packs the brawn while she possesses the drive. She was savage. Definitely savage. Despite that, Claire does at least show the girl some mercy by shooting her to get it over with. She could have easily tortured this girl by breaking both her legs and arms, all the monster parts. But Claire was straight and to the point.. so I say good on her. So now they're learning that it's best when the two of them are together. It's good for the story because the MC is clearly coming to terms with the situation in front of him, all while she's learning about his hesitation when it comes to this monster power. On a side note, the ecchi scenes are dialed down enough that they're not as in-your-face. I was fine with the first episode but with the way it was used here, I felt like it allowed for everything else to shine more. As cultured people know, it's one thing to have fanservice but fanservice that fits in naturally with everything else only makes it better. Overall, I consider this episode an improvement on the first. I consider it a shame that this show was score bombed for the first episode. This definitely has potential which is far beyond the 6.8 that Gleipnir currently stands at the time of this post. |

| @kyoudai The answer to your question is that there's a holster on the right side of the 'monster'. The following is an image from the first episode that shows it: https://imgur.com/a/ZYxq8ld If you look back at that burning building scene you can see the holster from a different angle. |
|
| @kyoudai Usually the arms are so big that they obscure the location of the holster though. Either it's the arms or it's the fact that we see the 'monster' from its left side. |
|
| I would say that this episode caused more impact than the first, of course the first episode was a preparation for this scenario, the fight scene was very animated, and a little strange but I must get used to it, now fight for a currency that is not yet known what exactly it does is stupid, right after that the anime gave more emphasis to the protagonists besides leaving a good mystery behind. |
| I guess first anime I can give 10/10 this year just hope they keep follow the manga also for real the genres already says it's Ecchi and Seinen, simply not for children check what you watch before start watching and then start cry about it |

I was wondering how she managed to carry a gun all that time, then get it outside the suit and into the monster's hand. And I didn't think Shuuichi would have one... But yeah, that would explain it. Thanks! |

| There was something oddly...erm well sexual about that scene where she goes inside of him... I mean hey, I won't kink shame but... just wasn't expecting that... anyways, WOW, this was WAY better than the first episode! I hope it gets better from here! |
| Knew he was a pussy, now it's just canon. Anyhow, first episode had me kind of hooked. But to see the character design somewhat fuller, that does bring a whole new breath to it! Also the girl is just a trashy Zero Two. |

| Alright.. since I can see there was a teeny bit of drama going on up there I want to shift this conversation back to Gleipnir. Since I've already posted my general thoughts about the second episode a couple hours ago, I'm going to instead throw out an idea that I kind of wonder if this anime will explore. Claire said that the inside of MC was empty, and as we all know it can clearly fit a human inside who can also operate it. One little curiosity I have is just how much this show can have fun with that ability. Meaning, perhaps MC can stick more then just the girl inside of him while he's fighting. It can range from a wide variety of things, from intel that needs to be protected to other stuff he could get his hands on. Welp, I think despite him being a monster MC isn't the type to go get his hands on weapons but maybe he could do that? Or better yet, he could probably put other people inside him. I don't think that you'd want an enemy inside of him since putting a conscious person inside of him would risk them taking control of him. But I do wonder if he could put an unconscious person inside of him and still have control over his body. Perhaps I'm being a little bit too creative with this, but it was just a random thought. Yep exactly. In the spirit of drowning out that not Gleipnir-related business, care to offer your opinion on my thoughts of alternate uses for the inside of the MC? Or anyone else? (For those who didn't see my thoughts I am referring to post #96) mod edit: removed quote of a deleted post. merged consecutive posts; use the edit button. |

esofdiamon said: I read the manga tho, the more it progress, the darker it get, fasten your seatbelt everyone! I'm looking forward to it. If this latest episode is the standard for fights and the setting keeps a dark atmosphere we're in for a treat |
|
| I'm glad to see everyone finding this anime entertaining, the fight scenes are also great. This anime definitely deserve to be rated atleast in the 7 range. |
