| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Dang, this was hard to watch especially with the Mud Whale being attacked like that. Bodies were dropping to the ground fast. It's like the country just got caught themselves in a war. The made the violence look realistic too, which is something that I thought was well done. RIP Sami. Ouni is such a badass tbh, definitely on another level compared to some of the others in Mud Whale. Lykos isn't to be underestimated either. |

| Yet another anime where main hero is a pussy. I loughted when even while being attacked this leader guy said that they can't respond with violence. I hope that main hero will toughten up and whole story won't be naively pacifistic. |

Didn't quite understand why did they pull out though, I hope they explain more about the politics in the next episode.. and all those weird greek names. Nice fights, although it didn't progress in the way I'd expect. Nothing really happened outside of that and the conflict seemed kinda vague.. also that pink haired guy is super annoying and kinda broke the mood. By the way, that top tier chick reminds me of my waifu Kyouko. XD I hope she plays some bigger role. XD  |

| A lot happened in this episode, many deaths could have been avoided if they wouldn't took Rikos with them. When the elders said that it was time for the punishment I thought that they did something really bad in their past but it wasn't that, and during the attack they didn't even appear to give some sort of relief, now I hate those fuckers. Ouni was the only one who fought back when he saw his friends being attacked, he did what he had to under those circumstances. Chakuro really had a bad time, ryodari is a complete son of a bitch. Really I'm looking for what's gonna happen next episode. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Wow that start was brutal, I knew what I was getting into after last ep's ending; but still. Can't blame others for not doing what Ouni did. They have been brainwashed to not use violence and be punished for resorting to it. If Suou didn't see him, he would have gotten himself killed for sure. This is why keeping info from the population to maintain peace is not a great idea; they could have been preparing during the time they wasted, since the geezers knew the "punishment" was coming. Ryodari has just appeared, but is already on my list of characters I hope to see die in a horrible way lol. |

| Well that was quite hard to watch... fuck that clown faces... RIP Sami :( well so the "sin" was to capture that girl? and just because of that they will to slaughter em? that's really cruel... can't wait for the next episode! |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Pretty brutal episode. Was really sad to see the people of Fallaina being massacred like that, Sami confirmed dead. T.T Are the soldiers being controlled as puppets or something? Their movements seem sluggish and weird, sometimes they attack fast and other times they seem to be slow as if they are processing what they should do next. I like Lykos with her hair down. I almost instantly disliked the Pink haired dude, that surprised even me. Oni's my favorite character so far. Was really cool when he fought back and it does seem like he's the only one taking steps towards survival at this point. Looking forward to next episode and information on the political scenario of the world. |

I hope that main hero will toughten up and whole story won't be naively pacifistic. The guys of the Mud Whale never known real conflict, let alone a war. No wonder they reacted like that. There was instances like that in our own history, notably during the colonization of America by the Europeans. Some tribes didn't even know what a weapon was, they simply got killed without offering any resistance. Hahahahahahaha... read up on some history of the Americas before and during the European settlement. Read up on the Commanche Empire, the Iroquois Wars, the Aztecs, The Maya, The Inca, and all of their predecessor empires... |
| This was a very heavy episode to watch. So many people died. It was heartbreaking to see them being massacred like that. Chakuro tried to fight back, but he couldn't do much. Oni was amazing fighting those guys. He's the only one willing to get his hands dirty. I instantly hate that pink haired guy. I hope he dies. Even if it's forbidden to cry at funerals, everyone couldn't help it. That was so sad. |
 |
| Great episode. Though I disliked the amount of talking they all did when there are guys 3 meters away about to stab you in the middle of a mass assault. But this happens so often in anime so whatever. Really this episode is summed up by saying. Fuck Clowns. |
| This ended up being more brutal than I originally thought..... I expected Taisha to probably die at some point in this series but not like this....She honestly did not deserve to die like this :( I felt so bad for that dude that's clearly in love with her too because now he has to live with this instead of being able to pass on with her like I thought he was going to Chakuro went through hell himself and I can't even begin to image how Sami's brother feels or even Lykos since they probably found the Sand Whale because of her AND because these are her people being ordered by her older brother (Whom is interesting but at the same time is a disgusting human being for even sanctioning these purges) And that brings me to these murderers.....Even though I hate them, I'm really intrigued to learn more about them because the way some of them moved made it seem like they might just be mindless dolls or something along the nature of that.....But then again, the guy in charge seemed pretty "normal" and then there's the psychopath that almost killed Chakuro....God I hope he dies The best part of this episode without a doubt was Ouni and I 100% fucks with him after this episode because not only is he a complete badass, but he's one of the few people who has the right attitude as to how to handle this situation and he proved it by not only getting revenge, but getting useful intel as well Overall this was another great episode, but man the tragedy really made it bitter sweet for me.....RIP to all the lost souls man :( These damn elders has a lot of explaining to do if they survived all this P.S. Chakuro's hidden power has some promise so I'm looking forward to seeing it explored further in a way where he learns to better defend himself with it |
| What a massacre that was, they showed no mercy whatsoever, and unfrotuantely Sami was indeed dead from protecting Chakuro. Ouni was such a badass, Chakuro's power looked promising for a moment but he has no real combat skills at this point, he could do a lot of training to get better in order to protect everyone. I want to see Sami avenged and especially see Ryodari get what he deserves at some point after the way he acted. |

| Ouch, that was a brutal episode. RIP Sami, and Ouni is badass. Really liking this anime so far. |
| What the hell was this? I thought this is supposed to be a happy Ghibli-esque anime? Why so brutal, all of a sudden? Those clown fuckers even killed little kids. Poor Sami, too. Man. I was not expecting that sudden turn here. |
| I wonder why the soldier's took pauses from their massacring to let the characters talk to each other. And then there's that crazy guy who doesn't seem very emotionless at all. I'm hoping to get explanations, but we'll see. I wonder what they plan to do when they come back. Most of their population don't even want to fight back right now, and the elders are hiding in their towers :/ |
| Where did you find this episode?! |
| What an episode! Such a shocking turn of events. For the people living peacefully, without wars and not even knowing there are other inhabitants of the world it must have been like the world is turning upside down. From the very first episode I was curious what the elderly know, I hope 4th episode will give some answers to that. I was kind of shocked by Suou pacifistic approach. His people were being slaughtered and he claims that violence can not be answered with violence. Props to Aniki for not being a passive witness and defending his friends. He even got some intelligence on enemy's plans. Can't wait to see more of this series. 5/5 |
| This is shaping up to be an interesting series. It looks great as well it's a shame Netflix have it. Anywayits clear those with emotion are persecuted and in this case they as massacred. How many times have we seen this in real life down the ages? I want to see how they will get out of this situation it will only be a week before they return and kill everyone. |
| Such a shocking and great episode. I didn't expect a shoujo anime to have this much violence, let alone PG 13, lol. |
 「 Now Watching 」 「 原神 : 800993232 」 「 SV-Mirage 」 |
| What a massacre,Sami and many others felt victim to and that wasn't even the real assault yet :/ That new character Lion is just an asshole,can't even take his behaviour and attitude serious and he has nothing against my man . Great show so far. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Barely managed to finish the episode. Usually I don't bother criticizing but the this time I am too frustrated! How the hell did they managed to create such a disaster with only one episode? The so called genoside was awkward to watch - an enemy trying to catch and kill the main guy and instead in the last second when only a hit is needed goes after some children that came in the middle of no where for the "plot" sake. The episode so full of these really strange reactions and unconsistencies. After the build up from the first two episodes this sort of development was really disappointing >> If it does not go back on track I will be dropping it. |
| Wow, I had read the manga and know what was going to happen in the first half, but had read only up until just before Liontari appeared. For an emotionless guy, he's pretty intense. I dunno, though... I kinda liked him, other than, y'know, being an obnoxious murder junkie... I think it's strange that he's voiced by Yamashita Daiki (Deku@BnHA, Onoda@YowaPed) who afaik has only played nice guys. But it's nice to see/hear him in a different kind of role. It's really hard to wait for next week's episode. And damn if the manga hasn't been scanlated past this point, unless someone else has picked it back up. The tankoubon doesn't come out until January, either. Lots of replies, so each one is in a spoiler tag to make this post shorter-looking. There are no actual spoilers.

| I had a feeling after seeing the cliffhanger ending from the previous episode that this episode would be brutal, but it was FAR more brutal than I ever anticipated. Just seeing the emotionless clown-soldiers kill the innocent humans of the Mud Whale without any sign of remorse or emotion is hard to take. The scene with Chakuro as he carried the lifeless corpse of Sami, not believing at first that she's dead, then eventually crying over her was heartbreaking to watch. D= It was good of Chakuro to try and fight back the best he could do, but Ouni was very savage though. After seeing two of his friend dead before him, I don't blame him for going all out and killing all the clown soldiers around him. They did deserve it after all. =/ With Lykos herself staying on the Mud Whale thanks to her brother's command, they'll be back in seven days to fully wipe everyone on the Mud Whale out. I expect of the next episode to have some sort of training to help more people to prepare themselves for the next invasion. Also, RIP Lady Taishi. It was sad to see her die as well. D= |
| 2 ships were sunk this episode and possibly more that only existed with he anime's background characters. |
| Can't really describe it too well but this episode was a mess in my eyes. The antagonists were just awkward to watch (pretty much clown-masked, we can't even see their faces), the one dude with pink hair was the icing on the cake for me not to take this as serious as they made it out to be. Ouni and the green-haired guy are pretty much the only characters i can care for and i have a feeling that both will die at some point as well. |
| Well, this was a brutal episode, with dozens of people killed off just like that, including a few fairly prominent characters. However, what stuck out to me more was how annoying that new pink-haired guy is, and how much I want him to die after just a few minutes of screen time; also, if they aren't supposed to have emotions, why the hell does he have distinct sadistic tendencies? Shouldn't he be deemed a sinner and wiped out in the genocide as well? |
| Typical story line so far, I gotta say. The sudden invasion from some unknown armies, people get killed even the "leader", the MC meet with a "sickly sadistic" person but he get another "chance" to live. |

| Personally, I hated this episode. All of the things I found appealing about the first two episodes were gone and I felt like I was watching an entirely different series. like seriously, did we really need a war plot with an obviously evil effeminate villain and a generic wacky sociopath? the promise of the unique setting and atmosphere of the first episode and most of episode 2 became a generic slog of poorly executed fight scenes, deaths that leave no impact and characters that walked straight out of kabaneri of the iron fortress. I'm quite disappointed and most likely won't be continuing this show now. |
| I had high expectations for this anime since I saw the trailers but I gotta say I'm disappointed... I'm just not feeling it. And why there's a super sadistic guy, aren't those soldiers supposed to not have feelings? Or did I get it wrong? The deaths were brutal but I can't say I felt much since there was no time to get attached to anyone really. The villains are boring, the sadistic guy was so stereotypical I can't even take it seriously. For now this anime has only the visuals going for it. I love the ending song too but I can't say this is something that'll made me keep watching. |

I didn't expect a shoujo anime to have this much violence, let alone PG 13, lol. kyoudai said: Your guess is better than mine why it's considered shoujo. It's published in Monthly Mystery Bonita, which isn't really really shoujo per se, but seems like most of its titles are categorized as shoujo here on MAL. The Bonita iterations are definitely shōjo magazines, you can check on the editor's website, where "ミステリーボニータ" is in the shōjo section. Seriously I'm glad, if this anime and the up-coming Banana Fish (which is far worse in term of violence and "darkness") teach some people that yes, shōjo can be pretty mature and serious. The level of violence in Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau is not surprising for a shōjo. It's not that common, but not unheard of either. Top Secret is an other example of very mature and dark shōjo anime. I wish more shōjo manga like that were adapted into anime. Maybe the opinion about « shōjo » will change, at least a little. Interesting. I would have considered it either josei or seinen based on demographic, so goes to show what I know. Don't get me wrong, though, I've really enjoyed a lot of shoujo manga and anime. I know it's not all silly romance. Just that it does seem a little dark for (what I consider/ed) shoujo. It's so close in theme, at least, to Shin Sekai yori (sci-fi, mystery, horror, psychological, supernatural, drama) and Suisei no Gargantia (action, sci-fi, adventure, mecha) that I wouldn't have considered it shoujo just for that reason. |

| What a painful episode to watch. I expected something but not this brutality. Sami :'( ........I still had hope.......Why is always the character I like the most? |
| Damn, I was not expecting Ouni to be that good in a fight. Last week's cliffhanger had me expecting the worst but I suppose they wouldn't kill off everyone or we'd have no show. Wouldn't be surprised if this turned into an anyone could die story. Mud Whale people are gonna have to make some changes if they want to be ready for another attack but I don't expect a rock solid defense considering how badly they got hit this episode. Not to mention a lot of them can't stand the sight of blood so that doesn't bode well either. Also wondering if they're going to venture away from the Mud Whale altogether if they end up with only a small number of people left. |

| So, this guys didn't get the memo that said people died when they are killed? I mean, if a guy is stabbed in the throath you run away as fast as possible. They did saw a lot of their own people dying, the anime begins with a woman dying...maybe they never saw someone getting killed, but dude I thought that was too weird. Beautiful long haired blonde man, I love you, but you are naive af. But, it is interesting to see how all of this is a reflection of their culture. Errr...fucsia hair boy is pretty energetic for a "emotionless soldier". And the enemies are kinda dumb for soldiers, some just stayed there waiting the guys they have to kill finish their talk XD Interesting episode, kinda frustrating in a way. I wanted to scream to the guy who slapped Ouni, fuck u bro. The funeral scene was beautiful, but, I wonder if they understand the problem they are dealing with right now. |

| this got tragic real fast |
 |
| Frankly, this lapel similar to Tomino's, I did not expect it from now on, I was very surprised. This show is evolving in a very interesting way, I hope it does not ruin going on with the episodes. I look forward to the next episode. |
 |
| I get that violence isn't common in Mud Whale, but did all of the characters need to act like brainless idiots for half the episode? Finally, Ouni came and kicked ass, he and Lykos are my favorite character so far. I'm hoping that the cast continues to shrink because the show is so frustrating when it spends so much time juggling between dozens of extra characters who I really couldn't care less about. |
 |
| The art, settings, music, and the story are pretty damn good but the directing is really fucking bad. The music doesn't really fit some of the scenes although they are good standalone. Most of the soldiers just stand there doing nothing or walking slower than Neil Armstrong walking on the fucking moon. I peeked at the manga and it looks like they are trying to stay as similar as possible but it just doesn't work as an anime. Also I am kinda disappointed the protag is kinda a bitch but it makes sense based on how he grown up and I can see development coming. Everyone else are just even bigger pussies and Ouni is the only one getting shit done. I really want to like this series so I just hope the directing of the action sequences and everything else gets better. |
| I'm also on the boat of those who found this episode really messy in many ways. It was so bad at giving the sens of urgency needed. It's about their lives! Even if you don't fight, you run, you move, you do anything, ... you don't make a speech in a calm manner while people are being killed. But here it's "please be calm! chieftain is dead!" Pathetic. Bad over-the-top kid has no feeling? Wrong! He's completely enjoying the situation (killing people) which is in the end the complete opposite of "no feeling". I'm pretty sure he would cry if one would tell him he doesn't have the right anymore to kill people. and to keep the story rolling, after a little bit of "necessary" slaughter, they stop, of course, you must go until the 12th episode, and you won't if you kill them all at the third one. Last but not least, the MC and his seyuu are really not my cup of tea, ... but well. Ranting mode off. It's still a good anime and an interesting story but this episode was full of flaws. |
