If you liked and follow the source material as you claim to know it, you'd know that the AUTHOR wrote this episode of original content. Why would you start a show you apparently have read the source for and then shit on it?

MAL forum is full of trolls.


Yeah and I disagree with the author on this one. I feel like you shouldn't change the pacing of a story to fit an anime. And maybe I started it because I had some tiny bit of hope it would be good? Sorry that I don't just mindlessly consume media like you

The author making a change doesn't mean it's trash. The episode was quite good. I can't even begin to understand how you would call the adaptation garbage if you even slightly liked the source.
It's not Berserk 2016.

and not being a nitpicker makes me a mindless consumer of media? FOH

Another interesting episode with those big heads. So far, the plot development has been kind of slow which is not bad but, would be nice if it becomes faster even if just a little bit. That elevator scene was scary though lmao.

Personally, I enjoyed the anime original content of this episode the most so far. I thought the pacing had a way more natural feel without trying to rush through the manga arcs in one episode. They added some romance, however, I'm interested to see how this affects the next arc. Other than the CGI, I'd say I'm progressively liking this adaptation. I do think there is going to be a faster-burn on the romance than in the original, which I believe might end up fitting the anime better in the end. Overall, this episode's pacing was a lot better in terms of I felt that I could relax and enjoy it.

Its burnt slowly inside her, and the anxiety was real in her mind. But, those silly jumpscare caught my guard really hard.

Poor Sorao, always getting dragged on to those dangerous situations, without having any time to deny it. Too scared to express her opinion? Or something else? I mean, that lift scene was pretty intense enough to make me laugh, and then those glitch hunt too. Its dangerous as in hell. Then, its depressed me much, without having a good progression in the end. However, maybe i can get something different at the next episode, since she already decided to rethink about her journey? Maybe.

Anyway, their journey these time ended up with nothing, obviously. Its just a dead end by stucking up their butts at those strange village with a bad creatures inside it. Why you didn't bring the previous rifle? That's a good reaction. Its a mistake and you all paid it with a great costs. But, they were at least verify the truth behind the previous poor man words. Othersiders. The denizens of the strange world. The monsters. Whats the impact behind their discovery, moreover with the fact that they had no drop item as a proof that time? No clue. Left aside it, fortunately, they found out another exit route and begone in a safety. Whats next?

Because it's bad. Creators can mess thing up pretty badly, too (Star Wars). Plus, writing a new story for the anime is not the same as the anime studio directing and animating that new story well.

To be frank, the problem with the anime stems completely from the source being so well executed comparatively. You can't really have a conversation about the 2, because this adaption is so sugar coated, and skips a lot (all most all) of Sorawo's internal dialog that gives everything context. Obviously, compromises can be made, and sometimes seeing is better than telling, but it's not really doing either. It's too caught up in being cute yuri bait(? for now).

At the same time, you have an anime original in Wonder Egg Priority, which shares very similar genres, that in the first episode nailed the psychological fantasy horror with yuri overtones on the head. It's one episode so far, and maybe it will get really bad, but it's checking all the boxes better then Otherside Picnic, which is a shame, because the source is quite good.

Pretty much the LN but in picture form. It's not far off the mark. Very minor differences for the format change.

Did anyone else notice the 3 kids? At the beginning of the episode when they were just walking around town, 3 kids ran out from around a corner. I remembered them specifically because all 3 were wearing masks.
At the end of the episode, when they came out of the shrine, they walked out onto the street and it was the same corner those 3 kids had ran out of earlier! And then the 3 kids ran by again. I wonder if they'd been playing in the other side?? Or even if they're from the other side, since they had masks

It completely ruins the impact of the next arc based on the next episode title.


I read the manga I don't get why this episode would ruins the impact of the next arc?
nothing will change they can start from chapter 7 normally

This episode was creepy, Otherside is an awesome place but these big head villagers were quite weird. They eat rice and there was a picture of a human man... So what could this mean? I think there should be more exploration done on these Bog head villagers. Also that there are chances that otherside creatures can enter the portal between the two worlds, it is something we saw today. It does not seem that the otherside creatures can actually make it to the Human Earth... which is weird. I reckon that's gonna happen soon. The glitches in themselves are very scary, to be honest. One-step and death. An interesting story.

yes it caught my attention. i thought maybe Toriko&Sorao returned back in time, hence the kids showing up again. but idk nothing like that was said and yes these masks sure are on the spooky side lol. and with the talk about othersiders that visit the normal world... i think your guess may be good!
dlxuniuniu said:
Seeing all the glitches make me wonder if we have something like them in our world as well? I am pretty sure there are other worlds beside ours...

yeah and i think they are harmless, but the whole thing is so bizzare that we subconsciously choose to not see it, and our brain auto-generates a "normal" visual piece of reality to cover the glitch, like it does with our eyes and their natural blind spots

It's decent. Pretty slow-moving - at its fifth volume currently, we're only at the start of the second LN volume (which gives you an idea of a proper kind of pace for a visual adaptation of Urasekai), but quite faithful.

I don't think it has a low rating because it is "yuri", there are a lot of shoujo ai anime with far better scores. I hasn't had much fun with watching the first three episodes so far, and I guess I am not the only one feeling this way.

Not surprised that this is anime-original, it did feel sort of slow and we didn't get a lot of development except "yuri". I wonder how they'll handle that aspect going forward. Seeing the CGI Big Head as seen from Sorao's eye makes me wonder if they could have utilized the CGI a bit more consistently as an alternative animation style instead of only wideshots.

this episode was okay-ish, not a lot of plot development happened and it felt like we were just following our protagonists walking around. i appreciate the cute moments between sorao and toriko though.

i have two theories to make: one, i feel the elevator monster is going to become relevant at some point, it keeps getting addressed and even switched floors this time. perhaps it'll be a future episode plotline? and two, i feel like toriko might've been replaced by an "otherside human", her sudden disappearance went pretty much unaddressed and she made that weird comment about human head sizes out of nowhere at the end... that would, retroactively, give more meaning to this episode. but i might also be completely wrong.

a lot of yuri development in this episode, especially in the scene after the opening and the shack and ending scene. that village was so creepyโ€ฆ wtf were those white things?! also, i just realised this anime uses cgi quite a lot like in the scenes where we see the characters from far away.

this show really sets the supernatural vibe/atmosphere well, looking forward to next weeks episode.

i see a lot of cgi, and not the high quality type

overall, interesting story and setup, im looking forward to finish this

like before they're using cg for basically everything. I'm not sure about their budget but it's getting excessive. I personally haven't seen the source material for this episode so I'm not in the position to say anything or compare it. It's nice, but ultimately pointless. I didn't see much development or plot in it, and I doubt it would be an entire episode dedicated to Sorawo's doubt.

Yeah, the narrative and world for most seasonals are mediocre at best anyway, I just watch for the gimmick.
