Kinda sad we didn’t get to see Kabane smash up all of those monsters, but the bit we did see was really cool. Aya is really cute, hope she becomes a reoccurring character, and the uncle was a bastard but I think Shiki did the right thing by leaving him alive, even if it was meant as a worse fate and that he got killed straight after anyway lol. Always figured headphone boy (forgetting his name) was a bad egg.

Also Akira at the beginning, how dare they leave him alone and brush it off with “sorry” lol.

Most Humans think evil, kill them!

Why is the story rushed in the anime? I'm glad I first read the manga even before the anime was announced.

I'm so curious about how this season will end because there are still 4 more episodes and I don't want them to just throw us in the middle of the next arc and end it off. it would feel weird

This was another pretty messed up ep but by the end, I was really happy for him though cause he found more than he went looking for. I really love the way Kabane was willing to do anything for Shiki cause it just shows how much he cares about his little tsundere friend!

I can't be the only one that was glad Nobimaru killed Tademaru right? It was so obvious that the asshole would do something sick and evil again cause he's rotten to the core. I find Nobimaru VERY interesting cause he's such an enigma!

Fairly grotesque but good arc closure on Shiki's past. Definite surprise win for Shiki getting an arachnid mom back and imouto.
Kabane such a great friend.

Kabane was badass this episode! his serious mode looks really daunting and his eyes are so fierce!
That was a shocking revelation but it's very good news that Shiki's mom is still alive!
And we also have Aya a potential new member! maybe? lolz
5/5.

Amazing episode. I have no question now this is hands-down the best anime of the season. It's disappointing to notice the little attention it is getting.

The uncle was a proper villain. He brought all those Kemono and made them attack Shiki. We didn’t get to see a lot of the fight though. We clearly don’t know who Aya is, yet. At least Shiki’s mother was okay the whole time. New character introduction, Ohana-basan

This arc was dark as hell, but at least it ended on a happy note. I was not expecting the mother to still be alive. Good luck to that poor woman and all the trauma she's going to have to deal with upon waking.

Is it wierd that I felt the biggest dissapointment I've had in an anime charachter that I liked when Shiki decided to leave his uncle alive after what he saw? There's no way he's that dense and doesn't realise that all those kids were made because his mother was raped by all these different kinds of kemonos, like bruh, I've watched hundreds of series yet I've never seen an anime where someone was so horribly exposed to forced sex by some demented, heartless, psycho individual, only in some wierd kinky hentai... not even Keyarga from Redo of Healer made the princess suffer as much as that asshole did to Shiki's mother, like come on bro, not only do you let Kabane do the dirty work but all you do to your worst enemy in life is just punch him and make some weak ass insults ? Did he even try to put him in prison, cause that is one special explanation you would have to give to the police... so kemono police ? No? You just leave him there expecting him to succumb to depression? We're talking about a psycho here ...Kinda wierd, ngl... to say that you feel empty and no more hate for your literally worst nightmare of a human just because of one thought you've had while crying...

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Shiki, and I for sure expected someone to finish his uncle off later, but leaving someone like his uncle into society or just in general alive, without even giving him a good ass beating before, just didn't sit right with me... I sure would be happy to see my mother alive after something like that but just the thought of her situation, being raped and drugged , again and again, every single day, and me to know that and still leave the person that did that to her just like that... I may just project my feelings on Shiki but damn that was some pu**y way to handle the situation.. Again, I like Shiki, I just didn't like his reactions to the situation... but again, he's just a kid, but hey, the situation was so bad it literally made Kabane, the emotionless kid feel anger and the need to finish him off, and that says something imo... You could say it was a mature way to handle the situation, but is it though? After realising you've been lied to and played like a toy your whole life and that the most important person in your life was tortured like this for someone's obssesion about a story...

I may have overreacted on anime logic I think, but anyway, i just wanted to share my frustration... Still tho, am I wrong to think this way? I guess that rape ticks something in me that makes me feel a certain way, I don't usually care when someone dies but people getting forced to do sexual things is different, idk, I may overthink some things ...


Ok i read it and i understand ur frustration yes i believe shiki shoukd have been more angry like more upset infact i believe he should have been the one to settle this instead of leaving it to others but i guess thats how the writer wanted him to be, i would be lost in rage to know my mother was treated like some kind of meat sack to reproduce with different creatures, animals etc

Imagine listening to your mother's voice from mutated off springs who're your siblings due to experimentation being done between different beasts and your mother... yeah, that'd feel gross. Plus, props to Kabane for killing all of them. He even took on the big guy. It seems Tademaru wanted to leave behind his legacy. He did this in the form of copulating with Kumi thereby creating Aya and since Tademaru is a human the off spring was a proper looking girl. What's worse is that he kept Kumi hidden from her own son. That selfish piece of shit. Poor Aya had to use her webbing to keep her mother alive and young. Tademaru deserved an even painful death because he was planning on using Kumi for further reproduction. Nobimura was damn terrifying in that scene. Just like Kon.

you are absolutely right i share the same feeling it's too brutal for her mother to endure such thing and yet he just punched his uncle my whole day was ruined after watching this scene.

Oh man those failed experiments using Kumi's voice really makes this uncomfortable to see, that uncle really is one hell of a sick fuck. I'm really glad Kumi is still alive and that Shiki finally is reunited with her.

So that's why Shiki kept hearing a familiar voice when he was in the forest. Seeing all the failed experiments show up 😬 The part when Kumi's "Shiki, I adore you!" got distorted aaaa really creepy, that part was so good

Kabane being able to control his powers more, let's go!! I am happy that Kumi and Aya got away from the uncle. And Nobimaru at the end yooooooooo

Shiki's mother is alive! And he has a sister(?). I feel happy for him. Now, let's hope this kemono specialist wakes his mother up for a family reunion.

Nobimaru took care of Akio by burning him to a crisp. What is Nobimaru's end goal? That might be interesting to learn.

Kabane took care of all of those kemono for Shiki. That by itself is so sweet it's hard not to like Kabane at this point.

Shiki's mother still alive, glad to hear that. Tadamaru died, he is the villain after all. Nobumaru also seems suspicious, he seems netral no to help there and here. I like this arc.

Shiki relaying on Kabane was heartwarming, their friendship development has been great.

When Akira found them it was a fun scene but sad for him since he clearly was so scared and had no idea about what was happening.

I liked that Shiki chose a different way of enacting justice for his mother and his pain.

I know that shiki is a child and he became pretty likable to me these past 2 eps but i’m tired of characters who spare horrible people that committed heinous crimes especially when the victim is your own mom, how can you not want to ruin their life in every way possible? him depriving that guy from fame and his accomplishments isn’t enough punishment for the thing he has done, that guy deserved torture tbh but well if you are not gonna do that then why not kill him and deprive him of his accomplishments at the same time? the death penalty exists for these kinda people you know.
Well aside from that show has gotten interesting

All those failed experiments are sure poor things, feel bad for them. Well, I felt good that uncle died. If he had lived, he could have made another family's life the same hell as Shiki's. Mom is alive, and bro got a sister also, that's something good.

I am enjoying the character development. This is the first time we have seen Kabane angry for someone else's sake. He popped off he bodied every monster in that forest. HIS MUM IS ALIVE!!!!! and he has a little sister now that is so cute. That Kitsune looked terrifying.
