| Am I the only one who felt like this was some kind of 100000mph speedrun? |
 |
| For me it was only for a week, but for the true OGS its been 5 years or so, and now that S2 is finally here, together we feast. And even after all these years, they're still on the cruise ship having a "vacation". Now if Im being honest, I will have to rewatch the episode to get this new test they're doing, but from what I can gather is that it's basically Among Us with extra stakes. And for our boy Ayanokouji, this is gpnna be a very interesting test. So I didn't expect that Karuizawa is gonna have a bigger role this time around, and something tells me its not gonna be just a simple boost of screen time. And the way she glances to Koji from Class A....now we didn't get quite a lot of it in S1, but when it comes to unsettling scenes, I will say I do not prefer having it but it's for the best to prepare for it, that's all. Excited for the thrills, the chills, and the madness to come! |

Softhenic03 said: Back after exactly 5 years, and considering there’s a third season already in the production, a full scale adaptation of the first year arc is the most obvious conclusion to draw. Characters are back, Ayanokouji is back with that same old flare, and an all-exclusive anime only apathetic personality. Diving straight into the lore of volume 4, and yes they didn’t even bother showing us anything but all-important instructions of the special exam, ‘VIP Exam’, also given those massive changes in the very first season itself, they changed the group's name from 12 zodiac signs to the 8 planet's name lol. Well can’t blame really as there were supposed to be 40 students instead of 25 we’ve here. Anyways atleast the group members aren’t changed lol, though the possibility of even that happening down the line isn’t exactly zero. Going by the pacing seems like they’ll wrap up this arc the very next episode itself, man like 5 years and still this, come on. Anyways, nothing can be done, so it’s better to just sit back and watch whatever they’re presenting. I hope it's 3 EPs per volume oh god, already ending vol 4 next ep is too fast |
| 10/10 for Kei bath scene, baby! The adaptation is good, the pacing is well done. I thought it would be rushed even more. But this is ok. The character looks good too. The exam got simplified, and it got easier to understand for non-LN readers. |

Great_Vegetables said: I would've hoped the same too, but judging by this super express pacing it's looking they really do want to wrap it up the next episode.Softhenic03 said: Back after exactly 5 years, and considering there’s a third season already in the production, a full scale adaptation of the first year arc is the most obvious conclusion to draw.

| it feels good that cote is back, though it took 5 years. at least it came unlike some shows. the s1 end made me instantly like it. I even started with the ln, read first 7 chap but couldn't continue. so, its good s2 came right in time. i also hope this season doesn't have any major changes from the ln. well now talking about the ep, though i got most of the part, the first episode kinda went above my head. the end with karuizawa crying left me baffled. also that look when machida helped her was kinda suspicious. looking forward to the next one. edit: just rewatched, understood better, the rules and all. lets see how this unfolds. |

| And we are back!! My god glad i only have to wait a few months... They waste no time just right into another exam. Lmao they playing Among Us? Bruhh 🤣 |
 |
| good first episode but the pacing was fast but then again this happen last season with the first episode being fast with the next episodes being slower so maybe it's the same this time too. Although, they only skipped the boring parts/filler talks, I think Just mad that they changed Zodiac Exam to Planet Exam |
| So we jump right into the story!!! And it's good to see the cast again.The new exam's kinda complicated but still it's interesting and I can't wait to see how all this turns out.This was a good episode!! |
| Was a very fast paced episode. They really dove right into it |
| Felt a bit off this episode, so much info blasted on the screen made me a bit overwhelmed, this wasn't a killer start but it was not too bad, very solid so far though and the skipped content doesn't bother me as much because it wasn't that big. |

| Well that was pretty good, honestly much better than S1 was. The animation seems a lot better and the OST really surprised me. It seems the conversation between Ayanokouji and Hirata was cut from the episode. And the group names are related to planets instead of animals as it was in the LN. Overall solid adaptation but could still be better. |
 |
| Maybe It wasnt the Best adaptation of the LN, maybe they change some things about It. but seeing agains Ayanokiuji and finally Kei as the protagonist Is all I wanted. And It was a good first chapter, maybe with fast pace but atleast we got It back love to see it |
 |
| One of the first seasonals I ever saw is finally back with a sequel after 5 years and it was pretty damn rushed overall, which isn't too shocking given how the first year arc still has many volumes to be adapted. As an adaptation of the source material, it was really rough too given the pacing issues sadly. on top of additional odd changes. Not a great return to be frank. |
damester13 said: So the identity of VIP and Zodiac symbols were related in the LN, don't know what they will do with planets.I see a lot of people complaining about this change from Zodiac Signs to Planets. So uhm... without spoiling, does this matter to the story? |
 |
| This went as I expected it to. The part where they explain the test was boring but the scene where Ryuuen confronts them and Kei's scenes were handled well. Animation also improved. |
 |
| Let's gooooooooo!!! |
| Dang, that was interesting... lets see whats gonna happen next and lets see how he will use his tools this time. Sigh have to wait a week |

| I'm seeing people saying there were changes? I'm a LN reader and I don't notice anything different. The pacing was a bit too fast, but not too confusing if you go back to understand the rules, I think we can all agree this is the most confusing exam. The LN definitely drags out stuff a bit too much, I think this is great. You LN readers need to stop bitching about everything. |
