Hikikomari Kyuuketsuki no Monmon Episode 12 Discussion

EP 12

I'm already like, where is season 2

So its ep 12 and i only just realized. apparently there are two vocalists for the op. the ed is also by tomori/komari
I think it says something when I've rewatched the whole anime like once or twice already

I have to say though, out of all the anime this is the one im hoping the most to get a s2
I wont deny that the concept of komari is just so good, its not flawless but.
Also komari is a great girl and we need more



I did start reading the first novel, though I'm only a few pages in. I've already noticed some differences (mainly because words is words, while the anime conveys things a bit differently)

One thing they never answered though, if dying is so painful why do they actually do the wargames? shrug

Also apparently even before the anime started airing there was like some events already being held. its confusing sometimes

Honestly im gonna be really sad if we dont get a s2 and they're like "haha guys go read the ln"

My opinions for the whole series
Its almost flawless, there are some flaws here and there, as well as the usual stuff, adaptation syndrome, exposition, etc.
We have ep 1 and 2, then there's big whiplash in ep 34, then back to ep 56. ep 7 and 8 arent as dark, and sakuna is introduced from ep 5. then nelia and karla are both introduced in ep 9.
Ep 9 -12 as a whole just feels very different, its like they suddenly stepped on the gas
Komari, vill, sakuna, nelia. you could say vill got shafted a bit lol they even reference that in the story. there's also miss empress karen who's mostly sitting around in the background, which is both a bit fascinating but kinda strange.

Soo what was i saying again? uh. i mean really its quite clear as to how it is. the plot twist at the end of ep 4 was a thing i guess.
Komari obviously has to carry the whole anime.
While i'm also not really happy that vill got knocked out for most of ep 4 and ep 8. sakuna doesnt show up until ep 5, and she's quite cute I guess.
Its just really strange when you look at it that way.

EP 12 turned out to be a leetle different from what i expected, its actually less bombastic than ep 4/8 and had tons of talking, but the implications are quite curious if/when we get a s2

It's kind of funny how despite all these flaws like, I still feel like komari made the whole anime. Kind of because it is true.

The light novel is a lot better. I feel like Project No. 9 didn't do the source material justice, especially in the later episodes.

Each member of the Daydream Unit is also supposed to be as powerful as a Crimson Lord/Illustrious General, rampaging through the city. With 5,000 of them, Mulnite kingdom is pretty doomed and Madhart knows this. In the novel, Komari is the one to single handly wipe them out along with Rainsworth. She quite literally Mulnite Kingdom's trump card.

However, Project No. 9 represents the Daydream Unit as a bunch of slow-moving zombies almost like a generic mob in any old anime instead of an army with the power of 5,000 elite commanders. It's not even clear how this overwhelming threat was taken down. We only see Komari dropping a sword on Rainsworth and Madhart.

Another difference is how Komari's awakening was portrayed and how it persuaded the other nations to take Mulnite's side. In the anime, the everyday people see an aurora and a golden Komari on a screen and then started cheering her. Then monkey soldiers from the Lapelico Kingdom start warping in, followed by Karla's people from the Heavenly Paradise, and the Haku-Goku Commonwealth (Prohelia) also join Mulnite. But why did the Lapelico Kingdom and the Haku-Goku Commonwealth switch from Madhart's side to Komari's?



In short, other nations could feel the power of Komari's awakening from as far as their own lands, and even the ones that didn't like Mulnite decided to help because they figured it would look bad later if they didn't. The anime missed a couple opportunities to really capture how ridiculously OP Komari is. Her core implosion has enough power to wipe out nations.

One last thing that was different between the anime and novel was that the swords were spinning around Komari in novel not just motionless.

I'm kinda hoping for a season 2, but if not, I blame Project No. 9 rather than the source material.

Damnnnnnn Nelia hit her so hard it replayed THREE different times (rdc reference💀) but glad Nelia got more screentime she’s actually fine as hell tbh I can’t even lie and now Komari has got 3 girls in her harem which she doesn’t want😭😭😭😭

The guy who’s always rapping and moving his hand everytime he’s getting screentime never fails to make me giggle, bro looks like he’s schizophrenic💀💀😭


Overall 8/10 show for me (enjoyment wise I’d give this a 9/10 especially for the beach episode with Vill and Sakuna😩)I liked the art it’s very well drawn to me and crisp, and the animation was good too when it needed to me idk why so many ppl hate on the animation so much I mean it’s not like this is JJK or One Piece🤦🏽‍♂️💀💀

Anyways hoping for season 2 to get released soon I’ll definitely miss Komari fine ass, Villhaze fine ass, Sakuna fine ass and Nelia fine ass☹️😩😩😩😩
