Thought it was a good start to the 2nd season. I enjoyed the 1st season a lot.

The first episode was good, but it was a bit below my expectation. Since I read the manga, I can say there were parts that skipped. I liked the musics too.

New OP wasn't as good as last season's, but I liked the new ED. The ED animation deals with the demon girl's past, looks like she used to be
(Spoiler is just my guess, not a manga reader).
Anyway, excited for more suspense and worldbuilding this season.

i'm very excited for this new season!!!

Really liked the episode, sadly they skipped a manga chapter. It would be cool to see that chapter animated.

Awesome start to the season, can't believe it's been 2 years since the first season, time sure flies.

Killua, I mean Ray was once again showing how smart he is.

Am I the only one who was bothered by these demons calling Ray "It" I mean it does make sense but still.

One last thing why is all the directions and the book are written in English? is this gonna come later into play or something? does that mean that Minerva dude doesn't know Japanese? just some thoughts!

It was a little slow in the beginning and cut some things, but the first season was similar (imo). I'm hoping they not finished this season with a cliffhanger, but seeing the number of chapters... maybe they will.

great first anime episode, visual OP and ED, OST and such a breakneck pacing. the monsters cgi were kind of awkward some time yet doesnt unconfortable to watch, and there was at night jajaj.

Wait, so the anime isn’t staying faithful to the manga then? That’s upsetting. I was really looking forward to seeing the next few arcs get animated. Season 1 was very loyal to the source material, so where did you hear this? Can you send me a link please?


People say this because the ending of the manga is god awful. Well, not only the ending, the last third of the manga apparently. I haven´t read it, but you know is something else when the own manga readers are the ones saying this stuff.


Now my question is, are 11 episodes enough for this arc? Because as many people stated, this episode felt kinda rushed. Like a lot of things happened, specially if we compare it with the first season that was kinda slow.

I enjoyed it. But I don´t think it was amazing or anything. They skipped quite a lot and I was looking forward to see it animated since it´s the first time I read the manga to be ahead, so that disappointed me a bit. Also, the cgi was kinda meh ^_^; And I think that the scene with pursuers was scarier in the manga, but I´m not sure right now.

Loved the op and ed!

Yeah, I haven’t actually finished the manga, but I’m on volume 15 (I think), and it’s not too bad right now. It would be nice if they stayed faithful to the manga until it starts going downhill, but that’s a lot to ask lol.

I hope they don’t rush this next arc too much though, judging by the first episode, but it’s hard to say that they won’t flesh it out later on since it’s so early still.

i feel that they're gonna explain more of the world in this arc rather than revealing it later on like in the manga. Miracles happen and if cloverworks pulls through, idk what's to come/ I'm hyped. I also hope we finally get to know how to pronounce that demon's name cause if there is gonna be 2 "him' it's gonna be confusing lol.

The CG on the big monster, and then later on that big tree that Ray was running by looked really bad.

Also, what the hell was that pacing with the hooded demon guy rescuing Ray? At one moment Ray is lying on the ground, on the next scene he's already being held by the demon guy. Fking teleporting, I tell you.

Fast pacing (7 chapters), but IMO it's already written on the wall that Season 2 will end on an original ending note with 11 episodes.

Hmm is that so? So we might see him earlier than the royals eh?

Eh they cut quite a lot to get to the demon duo so fast but I can assure nothing of value was lost. Liking the pacing so far.


They just delete the trap scene and to be honest was good.

Did anyone recognize the book featured in the ending? I could only read a couple of phrases - "My uncle died when I was seven" and "A thick eyebrow is making a deep shade under a high forehead", but that doesn't give me any clues.

I know Ray won't die so easily but really worry for his safety when the monsters going after him.

Its predictable that only kind demons are able to save them since the only humans are Mamas' and the kids..

The op and ed are really good.

Ray's big brain is already at work when they are trying to run away from the big monster. William Minerva's book is actually about a book on how to survive the outside world.

Huh, Demons are the ones that saved Emma and Ray as well as the rest of the children. I wonder why is that.

Yeah Ray's big brain is so big the guy would've died if it wasn't for deus ex machina demon guy saving him. Well, at least it reflects the quality of writing we are going to see from now on until the end of the story lol.

I was a bit confused by jumping in media res at the beginning, but it was a good way to start off. I have definitely forgotten a lot of things from the first season (had to read up about the ears...). It's interesting that the demons are the ones saving the humans... I wonder if they were part of some renegade underground demon ascetic movement.

The art doesn't seem as intense but I don't remember how it was in S1 anyway. The animations aren't too clunky and the animal/plant designs are interesting so far.

Dawg i forgot this is the Cliffhanger Anime.

1st season i've binged. No way to endure it ep by ep lol.



By the OP/ED it seems not probably to go this way, at least in the begining, but i was afraid that the last scene would be the "dinner" ready with some of the other kids, if you know what i mean...

What a great start man!

Those hunters from the farm were indeed pretty scary, i still don't know how Ray managed to survive, i really thought that he was a goner.

Now i wonder who those 2 demons are, and why they are helping them.

Great start.

First ep turned out to be way better than I expected it to be. Everything was just gorgeous especially that ED. If they keep this up it's easily going to be the best of the season for me, possibly the year.
