| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh shit, more cursed children. I should of known. Still, Kagetane is the one giving me the creeps. Soundtrack was pretty good overall again this episode and pacing picked up. It felt a little rushed though for some reason. Oh Enju and Rentaro get along so well with those little flashbacks. ;o. I feel sorry for the cursed children of the present though. |

| I watched the raw so I didn't understand much. The masked man is back and it seems like he got a companion. This episode looks interesting. |

| Masked guy has a cursed child as a daughter? Wow, such a torturing on cursed children, and that masked guy came to recruit the main guy. He's been trying to help those children... and at least his partner got well (I think I understand why she's so obsessed with him now). Such cool song for a healing voice for ED. |

| Nice - the series got grittier and darker, some of the plot holes are being filled in, and the antagonist is definitely no pushover. |
| This Second Episode was also interesting. It got more darker than the previous one. ...But I think the Japanese wouldn't be able to discriminate against the cursed children that are infected with destructive retrovirus. Because they are lolis. Haha. |

| It just keeps getting better and better. ;-) |
| The Series defiantly got a whole lot darker and serious with this episode. It looks like Morality and Discrimination will be played in a large context in this one. Kagatane is quite an awesome villain from one i have seen, Manipulative, Cunning, Creepy and comedic in a dark twisted way. Also at least he is not underestimating his opponents. Looking forward to next week, Still no clue how long this series will last ? |
| Very nice episode, ending is very good as well. Cant wait for the next one. |
| Wow! That was amazing! Really loving the serious emotions this ep gave. Some serious feels. The meeting was nice with how all those promoters were gathered. Nice to see there's some kind of ranking too. 120,000th XD There's a long way to go hehe. Shogen's initiator is sooo cute :3 Loving Kagetane more and more. The dude is FRIGGIN BA!! Kohina is sooo cute <3 One crazy loli that calls him papa <3 Yuuki Aoi's voice is so good with her :3 The way Kagetane just killed all those people was awesome. Enju was cuter than last ep. Kawaii <3 The way the police shot the kid was so cringe >~< SHIT! I wanted to kill the shit out of them!! Enju vs Kohina was a nice intro for what's to come. Kohina's Papa kiraii was cute :3 Last part with how Enju was looked at like that and ran away and how Satomi was searching for her was really emotional :*( Great MC ^^ And the show has gotten way better than the 1st ep. |
 |
| Waha Nice ep! I want to see the masked man vs Satomi :) |
 |
| Disturbing. Those police officers and all the ones who don't accept the Cursed Children should be tortured and burned alive. |
 |
| Loved the episode except that they cut short much of Enju-chan's school rumour scene, that was supposed to bring out the impact in this episode but they didn't adapt it from the manga. Disappointed with that and didn't bring me the emotions I have reading it.Wrong chapter. Judging from their speed, next episode we shall see how 4/5. |

- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
| Much stronger than the debut episode. I had my doubts but now I'm genuinely hyped for some more. |
| This was a really good episode, looking foward for the next one. |
 |
| Those rotten cops should have been destroyed by Enju. This is why I dislike cops in real life. That cursed girl has a strong will to live as well. Hopefully Enju reunites with her. The masked man has a barrier and it reflects objects as well. Deja Vu Masked man also has an initiator as well. He asks Satomi to join forces with him which he refuses. I wonder if there was a child from Enju's school that was hiding during the confrontation between Satomi and Masked Man and after they left the child told her classmates Enju is a cursed child. Idk there has to be a cause as to how Enju's secret got leaked. Either some bystander during the confrontation between Satomi and masked man told the school Enju is a cursed child or some kid got Enju mad at school and her red eyes activated. Satomi from personal experience views Enju like a little sister I suppose and not as a tool. That is why he got mad at the elder for stating that initiators are mere tools. Edit: Viewing the police scene again it is messed up how Satomi couldn't save the child. I know some people will say that he's a weak MC, but in my opinion he had no other choice. Had he interfered in the situation most likely Enju would have been in put in danger. Satomi's rank isn't higher than the cops, and plus Satomi would have gotten in trouble for not being a responsible promoter. Although perhaps he could have shot the cops when they were shooting the child since he sent Enju home minutes before he got there. |

| Getting hyped about this series, cant wait for next week's episode. |
My Candies:     |
| That was fuck up! This ep when 360 from the last ep, shocking stuff from the maskman madman crazy & that police scene (._.) i wish the mc could be a little more sensitive & cunning because sometime he just dumb ~dont tell the villian where you live and your name idiot! Great ep btw. |
 |
| HOLY SHIT. I knew this would take a turn to the dark side, but damn some scenes were disturbing. Can't wait to next episode. |
| I liked this episode a lot better than the previous episode, I have to say. The previous episode's main problem was it's exposition, it was just so awkward, and the fact that it was so light hearted in a rather serious situation, but everything was a lot better this episode. It's nice that they also shed some light on Enju and how she used to be. One gripe I had was when those police officers and shop owners were being openly violent with the Cursed Child and Rentarou didn't really do anything even though he could have (and he lamented it later, but still). I'm assuming it's because it would ultimately expose Enju's identity. I'd also like to say how much I really like the OP. The intro and outro of it sound kind of like the "Der Feind ist grausam... Wir bringen... Der Feind ist riesig... Wir springen..." part of Jiyuu no Tsubasa but that doesn't really bother me. I feel like a lot of anime OPs as of late are that bouncy SoL/romcom type (which I don't particularly care for) and having a change like this is nice. I also really like the ED. |
| 1. Masked dude hiruko is super OP; Those police officers are messed up 2. Only in anime would u see two 10 year old's dueling it out in an alleyway 3. Seeing enju's backstory with the dog collar was lil hard to watch 5/10 |

| Really loved this episode. The first episode left me unsure if I would be able to enjoy this series but now I'm pretty hyped for more. The Police Is Your Friend. Another good example was delivered in this episode. I feel sorry for the all those cursed children. |
 |
| Rentarou really treasures Enju, it was sweet. The scene were the child was shot... instant dislike on those people. Hiruko does seem partially right. I wonder what is it that case that would destroy Tokyo. I hope Enju goes back soon. |
 |
| I had a feeling Enju was hiding in there with those other girls. Just sad seeing that girl getting shot down by those cops. At least that she is alive. |
 |
| So glad this has gotten darker than the first ep. Wonder why the masked man wanted to team with Rentaro, is he special? And I don't really understand why Enju ran away, it's not like Rentaro rejected her. I'm still hyped for this series though, might end up being my favourite of this season |

| King Tortures' loli a cute. Interesting show so far. |
| That hiroko thou. Rentaro should recruit every cursed children under his wing and protect them. The creatures are only spiders or is their different insects too? |

Not just insects but other animals for example Enju has the rabbit gene while villians partner got the mantis gene. you will see more variety later |
ichii_1 said: That hiroko thou. Rentaro should recruit every cursed children under his wing and protect them. The creatures are only spiders or is their different insects too? Uh, remember episode one the opening scene. The giant flying insect. |
RazorRamona200 said: Man, why doesn't that masked man take off his mask? And, why does Enju have to hide from Satomi when she has head as to how loyal is he to her. They have only been together for a year. He didn't help the other cursed child, to her knowledge, and its understandable she would be extremely distraught from this. |
Teira27 said: So glad this has gotten darker than the first ep. Wonder why the masked man wanted to team with Rentaro, is he special? And I don't really understand why Enju ran away, it's not like Rentaro rejected her. I'm still hyped for this series though, might end up being my favourite of this season She ran away because the secret she hid which was being a cursed child got leaked out at school. Put yourself in her shoes, cursed children are treated very bad. An example would be the little girl that got beat up by the cops. That shows how much they society hates cursed children and why the Elder is trying to teach the cursed children to behave properly and control their emotions when they are socializing with other normal people. She also ran away because Satomi didn't help the little girl. Maybe she doubted Satomi's kindness and she ran away. I mean they only know each other for a year but still she must be very mad at Satomi for not saving her on the spot. Back to Enju, since her secret got leaked out she couldn't stay in school because she would get discriminated for being cursed. How her secret got leaked out is left to speculate but I have a couple theories: - Someone from Enju's school saw her fight the masked man's girl and they leaked her secret - One of her classmates got her mad at school and she accidentally showed her red eyes. Cursed children have red eyes when fighting |
|
| too much cute kids.. Nice Ren and Enju bond.. |
 |
| This is getting better, seeing that Hiruko dealt with all those top dog Promoters like they are nothing. Can't wait to see when Enju comes back again. |

| was the masked guy talking about the cursed children when he said : They'll betray you..? does he wish to get rid of them or have them under his control ? |
| This series just got a lot more interesting. Hiruko is a such a badass antagonist. Didn't expect him to have an initiator. The discrimination against the cursed children is messed up. Really hated how the cops shot the girl down like that. |
| Introduction of new lolis~ Society's hatred towards the cursed children are though Looking forward to the next episode. |
| Do you like cakes? You don't like cakes? I like cakes. |
| Hiruko, best villain of the season? What a fucked up generation and society.... I don't understand why people despise the "Curse Children" to an extreme level even though they're supposed to be the saviors of humanity. I know their spawns (from infection) of the same beings who are wreaking havoc upon humanity and also those who have been affected directly turning into monsters, it would make more than enough sense for humans within their world to entirely despise them. But seeing from Enju, they can function normally well in society as long as they have care and attention.. |
 |
| lolis...lolis everywhere |
| Now this episode was much more interesting than the first one. Im looking forward to next one. Is the masked guy inspired by V from V for Vendetta or something ? |
| Both the anime and the manga are based on a series of light novels that have about 7 volumes now. The manga hasn't even finished covering volume 1 of the novels yet so the pacing isn't THAT bad. |
| inb4 the masked man is his father or something like that lel |

|
| I enjoyed the episode. I'm not a fan of all the little children but I don't mind it too much. Hope to see how the story progresses. 1 episode a week is not enough >.< |
| Wow! This is getting seriously good! Hiroko troll level isn't over 9000 yet, but it's getting close :) |
