| This episode really gave me a lot of Higurashi vibes, which the show has already lol, the summer festival specifically kinda took me back, I have a mix of horrific and wholesome memories with them lol, it’s nice to see one in this series, I like to see the characters having fun but it also comes with a level of nervousness that something terrible might happen lol. Also poor Mio getting family-zoned (where’s Vin Diesel) and we also met Tokiko, hope we see more of her because she was asking the real questions lol. The Shiori bit was also really spooky, thank the heavens for Shiomi showing up or our boy would be entering the next loop early lol. Also gotta appreciate the innkeeper recognizing the glasses girl because of her booba lol, but now we know why he mentioned Shinpei asking him about her before, but man that adds another layer of mystery, I like that lol. And now Ushio has reappeared, I figured she wasn’t dead but I’m interested in finding out how, gotta wait another week now. |
| Can someone explain why Shinpei thought it was a good idea to chase after a lookalike of a person he knows is dead (basically 99.9% shadow) and leave his sister alone with sussy pink hair? |
 |
| this protagonist is so fucking good, finally a MC of a "detective show" whos uses his head and think like a sane human being. So refreshing that he's not a dumbass |
 |
| This anime has impressed me every week. Music and animation are both top tier. Pacing feels spot on. Plot is early to call, but the mystery has been intriguing and multifaceted, and the tone is unlike anything I've seen recently. MC especially feels like a breath of fresh air to me.. he's not written to be some 200iq genius or some whimpering self insert.. his actions and methods of investigation feel natural/relatable. There's a lot of room to fuck this up in 22 more episodes, but this feels like the best anime since Made In Abyss if they can keep the quality of what we've seen so far up. |
| Oooh he finally met her Shadow. Nice. I didn't read the manga but I have a strong feeling his friend already has been replaced by Shadow. The way he brushed off their yesterday's coversation just screams SUS to me. Also Shadows probably copy their memories too, so this "code" of theirs won't work. absastro said: If there can be shadows of living people, why don’t the shadow creatures go around copying and killing every islander? Just my thoughts. I think Shadows are greatly outnumbered, that's why they are acting, ahem, lurking in the shadows. It's basically Werewolf game- find and kill werewolf, if you fail, they convert/kill somebody else. Or there's something else going on, what we don't know about yet. |
| Boobs > Ass I have spoken the truth |
 |
| are the shadows gonna invade the island or something? lol |
 |
| That ending sequence with Ushio and the fireworks felt so majestic and cinematic. lol |
| Loved this episode. The last scene with the fireworks was so beautiful and the sound effects for the fireworks as well... |
| Man whole episode felt dready and creepy for me. Everyone looking cute in their outfits. Feels like Sous gonna be a shadow haha since he failed to find something last night when he said he was going to and they all yelling plans in the opening.. Mio def likes the mc. MIO and co might turn up dead since he left them or he will. Ahhh |

RayReynolds said: The start was okay enough, though still in very much a corny horror kind of way. Gee, there's this house clearly filled with shadow monsters who have already killed multiple people. Let's split up and poke around it. You can't have a horror setup without dumbass teenagers making terminally stupid decisions at every turn, after all. Unfortunately, the rest of the episode was pretty much filler. Not even the crazy kind of filler like the terrorist has to do a Roadrunner/Wile E Coyote routine with a pernicious cat during a pizza festival. More like the sawdust kind of filler where they stuff tasteless nothing into the script until it's bloated enough to fill out the entire twenty minute run time. After Loud Housewife dispels the little girl monster by being loud, and disappointingly not being an axe murderer herself, pretty much the whole rest of the episode is spent primping and preening for the festival. Any time any character has to say "You don't need to tell me that," you can take that as a clarion sign that the entire conversation was unneeded. Mostly reminders that these other people exist, who I'm sure won't end up also being shadow monsters and/or messily murdered by shadow monsters themselves eventually, but why not now? Why are we doing a whole bit on ice cream… Excuse me, two bits on ice cream, instead of stabbing and/or shooting people? you sound exactly like the kind of person who hasnt read the manga. how bout you sit back and watch the next 2 episodes and them we'll talk. (assuming they dont fucking mess up the next part ofc) |
| Very happy with how they did Ushio. they truly did her justice. i am a bit dissappointed with the speed. worried we'll run out of time but so far its going well. the ed is perfect and e op is actually less bad than in the PV. im actually happy with it. sou is 100% bro material. tokiko actually sis material lmao. mio is still my tanned queen :) seriously i couldnt be more satisfied with the adaptation so far. i pray it all goes well and i get surprised by how beautiful the RENDERING of the anime is. i will now go dm all my weeb friends to watch summertime render :D |
| Another great episode. It get more interesting. Especially in really curious about how Shinpei-kun leap back through time. (like the ossan in the restaurant said in the first timeline about Shinpei-kun saying he told him about the woman earlier) and in the third time line he now know that he task the ossan at the Inn about the woman. Hmmmmmmmm what's with that. I'm suspicious of Sou-kun about that what he wanted to look into yesterday and . Hmmmm |

| Heh, I think they skipped like a quarter of narratives from the manga(?) because damn the pacing went REAL FAST here (edit: Oh it's just some segments that were more or less irrelevant to the story so that's good to know) but I trust in Hiroshi Seko for the sake of the scripting in the anime. Shinpei suddenly went to talk to the granny to visit Shiori girl and the Shiomi is sus af, I can’t trust anyone who doesn’t make a very “close” connection with Shinpei here and there is a shadow legit in front of him while the tv was playing ;_; Holy fucking shit Shinpei HOLY FUCKING SHIT I had a jumpscare when he turned on the damn lights and what is Shiori doing standing there with that sussy face of hers and the imagery of the shadow appeared behind Shiori is shown. Oo looks like Sou finally made a full contribution to solving Ushio's case :P Honestly, anyone can be shadows since they live on an isolated island right here right now, so we can't trust anyone here lmao. So they decided to meet up at a festival eventually and TOKI IS SO PRETTY <3<3 The festival is giving me the suspense right off the bat with the darkness in the scenery and the shot of Mio holding the cotton candy was beautiful, also Sou and Shinpei had a cultured talk about what again? Butts or Boobs? and THE ED PLAYING while Shinpei is chasing and Ushio is standing and the firework playing, is just simply beautiful.  |

| Well, either it's the shadow or it's actually her and maybe she killed the shadow and is laying low pretending to be a shadow? As an anime-only watcher, we don't exactly know what happens when a shadow dies yet. Interested to see what we find |
| This anime just feels so high quality |

| This episode was amazing it felt like i could watch it 10 times and i would still be excited to see everything especially the ending because wow the moment the music started it made me feel smth and the visuals and directing was on point, the pacing and the voice acting and the character interactions everything felt so natural and not rushed or exagerrated even the reactions were funny and sweet. shinpei yet again was calm and collected but the moment he saw that golden hair of course he would act like that his childhood family and friend and love just appeared again after she died i mean who wouldn’t act on emotions at that moment? + ushio told him to come find her so that was meant to be. Mio is so cute tho i really love her character design and how she expresses herself with her eyes, she looked adorable in that yukata and it’s kinda mean for tokiko to ask that awkward question in front of everyone but i don’t think she meant any harm, still poor mio :( anyways with the appearance of sou, tokiko and ushio things has gotten even more interesting, looking forward to the next ep |

bam |
| Mio in the yukata was lovely. I like that Shinpei isn't 100% trusting yet of Sou. Keep your suspicions and be ready for anything. Chasing after what looked like a ghost.. well, maybe a shadow, but I'm not sure anyone else could've seen her. This show is holding strong so far. Intriguing as hell, love it. |
| so they changed the ushio festival part. this ep was way better than in the manga festival part next episode. this shit gonna get crazy also just figured out the authors involved when finishing the manga so better hope the final battle gets a revamp |
| hgwnejmp.ädqwsd |
| Damn, I can't trust nobody in this island lmao. Based on my understanding last episode when Tetsu was copied, they were copying the memories too right? So that means their code words should be useless, unless I am mistaken. Look at this love square or circle or something lmao. Poor Sou, poor Mio and poor Shinpei. Last episode makes sense now I guess, when shadow Mio said that Shinpei is already something something, it got cut off. I assume that was him getting copied at the funeral. But he got copied by shadow Shiori again in this loop, so fuck. Very interesting ending too, I wonder if that's shadow Ushio, would be interesting if shadow Ushio wasn't really bad, since they're saying shadow Shiori is the one that killed Ushio. Though, maybe it was shadow Ushio that was killed and it's actually the real Ushio we're seeing right now. I don't fucking know lmao, this show is damn good. One thing I am sure of though, is that that last scene was fucking beautiful. Really loved the lighting. |
 |
| Just when i thought story has begin to unfold but then they showed Ushio? i assume it is probably a shadow. btw Ending animation and visuals were fabulous combined with the ED... 5/5 |
 |
| A nice step forward for Shinpei. He got a way to solving a little bit of little Shiori mystery, and the flash that coming from the funeral, without involving Mio. Its really Shiori shadow as i expect from the previous episode, and Shinpei affected by the sickness cause he's seeing and interact with Shiori shadow there. Thats why he's being targeted by Mio shadow, and Shiori shadow in these episode. Perhaps... After that, Shinpei still not manage to meet with the woman in the black suit, while its actually kinda obvious where she's around, at that time. She's at the shrine, right? Next. Shinpei decide to cooperate with Sou, which surprisingly is the real one, for now. Then, what if Sou actually looking for the woman in the black suit? Hmm. And i really don't know what to say about Mio moment while she's being left alone when Shinpei pursue Ushio at the festival. Which honestly i believe that's to be the real Ushio. Why? Well, its just my guts feeling. Hope its wrong. But too bad its ended up with a perfect cliffhanger. Yes, bad for me, because i can't wait for another next week waiting time, even if its actually a very nice end. Jamais Vu incoming... |

| why the hell was ushio there at the end there😭😭 thats just fucked up bro why do this to me |
| Shinpei's investigation has been going well so far in terms of writing, so when he said "I can count on him" about Sou, I was ready to get pissed at the plot for making characters conveniently dumb. But gladly, he was pulled back to reality by none other than Sou himself (which I still think it's a shadow since he seems to be hiding something about "yesterday"). Very unbelievable that Shinpei was the only one to notice the one blonde girl who just recently passed away (and, as far as I understand, was beloved by most of the island) walking around, but okay. I like Mio, I hope she doesn't end up being wood for the cruel flames of the plot. Still unsure about the stakes in the show, but I think at least Ushio is for certain not coming back to life in the end. Jamk_ said: Boobs > Ass I have spoken the truth This man speaks the words of truth. |
| Great episode! Shinpei tells Sou about the shadows and it seems he believes him which was good to know. Seems Sou likes Mio. And Ushio is back?! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Great adaptation so far |
 |
| Why do I feel like "Ushio's" appearance at the festival is a cruel trick from the Shadows to lure Shinpei away from Mio so they can kill her? Well, both Sou and Tokiko (had we seen her before this?) were acting pretty suspiciously, so it doesn't seem entirely outside the realm of possibility. That said, we've quite consistently seen that Shadows disintegrate the bodies of their victims to avoid suspicion and immediately integrate, so I feel like the theory that Shiori's shadow strangled Ushio to death doesn't quite work; that leaves room for the possibility of Ushio being alive and the corpse at the funeral being her Shadow's. Also, from the innkeep's comment about Shinpei asking him about Hizuru before, are we supposed to take that as meaning that there's a shadow Shinpei running around the island already? Sou, whether human or Shadow, mentioned the possibility of Shinpei being a Shadow already (which of course we know to not be true cos he's our PoV and this is a mystery, so lying to us on that magnitude would be terrible) but Shinpei didn't seem to pick up on that little inconsistency at all. |

Rembe said: Marinate1016 said: This is the anime of the season for me. Nothing is gonna touch this, assuming it doesn’t fall apart. The atmosphere, mystery, characters, art, just everything I look for in an anime and really gives me that “no way 23 minutes passed by” “can’t wait for next week” feeling that you don’t get a lot these days. As for today’s episode, my favourite of the 3 despite it having the least amount of action so far. LOVED the Ed playing during that last scene at the festival. Goosebumps. One theory I’m working with is that Shinpei’s eyes are different colours because one eye has the ability to see supernatural things, would explain how he saw Ushio’s spirit and then the vision on the stairs at the house today. Can’t really see them just giving him mixed matched eyes for nothing and given his comment about it last week, I’m sure it’s plot related. Loved the Mio moments this week too. Quickly becoming my best girl of the season. Not sure of what the age gap between she and Shinpei is, but I ship it 🤷🏾♂️ Disney need to let this out so the world can experience this. It’s called Heterochromia iridum, if you wanna know why his eyes are different colors. No. It’s not why his eyes are different colours did you even read the post lol? It’s not a natural scientific thing. |

Lurik259 said: Isn't there enough intrigue and incentive to watch without adding obnoxious incestuous romantic entanglements among the primary friend group? Shinpei is not related by blood to Ushio and Mio (they do not have the same last name). Besides Ushio has French origins unlike Mio (Which means that she is probably Mio's half-sister). |
YumekuaApr 29, 2022 2:30 PM
| This "Ushio" will likely und up GUTTING our poor MC since she's almost certainly a shadow. So, Poor Mio hopes for some "non-blood-related" incest huh? |
| I don't remember him asking Shiori that at the start of the loop. I can't really explain it, but this episode felt off compared to Episode 2. Felt the same with Episode 1. Looking forward to Episode 4 though! |
