they already mentioned in the previous episode that she has her ID inside the wallet
and that they cover their faces so no one can track them, so if someone got her ID he can track her easily that why thw wallet is important
I got that, it does make sense but Elena's group
didn't really seem to care, the brat only even mentioned the amount of cash in it.


yah they don't track pepoles like others that's why they don't care about it

apart from the OST and animation, the only other thing I can say I really like about this show is definitely the monster designs, they look pretty cool ngl


but the thing about the fight is, when the monster grabbed that Shuuichi x Chihiro final form thingy, why didn't it just squish it like before rather than tossing it aside? Like they clearly weren't resisting so it should've been an easy win but oh wellz

Love Chihiro so much.

This translator needs to be fired though. They translated "shine" as "fuck off" instead of "go die" and then later "Fuzaken na" which most people translate as "don't screw with me" or "fuck off" as "die" (Literally . It's like they're trolling. That's on top of like 6 other errors in the past episodes that I can remember

I mean, in that context, using "fuck off" instead of "go die" still holds the same meanings, just like how "hai" has like 70 different meanings depending on the context. If anything, I think using "fuck off" feels more accurate to Clair's character than the literal "die"


Love your Tamako picture in your profile

It doesn't hold "the same" meaning. It's a similar meaning, not the same, but it's inaccurate nonetheless. I don't see how it can "Feel" more accurate. Accuracy isn't something you "Feel". It is or it isn't. In this case it was not accurate. Girls telling guys to die when they're being pigs is very common and that's she was doing. And then the other scene the enemy telling Chihi-uchi to "Die" when he said "don't fuck with me" is also inaccurate since he in a defensive position at the time.

It's better to just translate things as written instead of trying to put you own spin on. Flipping what was said in these two scenes is simply wrong. That's just this episode. I assume the same person is doing every episode and they've had a ton of errors throughout the show, a few of which outright changed the meaning of what was being said - the opposite of what translation/localization should be doing.

Anyway, episode was bad ass and I'm sad this show is still really underappreciated.

How exactly is it inaccurate though? Both are meant to show disgust towards the statement and retort in a way that is meant to sound like an asshole. Japanese in itself is a pretty simple language only complicated because context has to be taken into account (which is why you have Kanji in the first place). It's why like I said with the word "hai", it can have multiple different translations depending on the situation (like "Yes, sir", "Please [do so]" etc.) even though it literally just translates to "yes". Same thing with your "Fuzaken na", it could mean a wide range of things like "Can it, Screw you, Shut up, fuck off" etc. but it depends on the context in question. I don't remember the scene that much so idk how applicable the translation was so I'll take your word on that one.

But ok, if the word "feel" was trigger inducing, then it is more accurate for Claire to be saying something along the lines of fuck off rather than 'die.' It seems more along the lines of what her character would say rather than the usual 'go die'

Because that's the thing, they're not just translating the speech, they're interperating it, which plays a difference. If you just translate stuff from Jap --> Eng. word for word, you're gonna miss out on a lot of meanings because like I said, jap is a simple language turned complex. It's why translating things like wordplay or puns or whatever from Jap - Eng. is very rarely 1:1, because it just wouldn't make sense if it was literally translated


And that's also why it can be difficult to learn jap through watching anime alone, because they're always interpreting the speech to match with the context and the characters. It's way more apparent in manga, where if you read the raws and then read the translations you'll see they tend to be vastly ""inaccurate"" at times simply because they're trying to fit the text in an English context (like the most recent Kaguya-sama chapter for instance)


I won't say for previous episodes though, cause I can barely remember anything noteworthy in that regard lul so they could've mistranslated something important who knows









At least it's not like Otona Joshi in which the translation error literally made a wholesome scene turned into a weird one :P

This episode is by far the best episode! So Shuichi can transform into a more powerful form when someone with monster-transforming ability entered in his mascot form! So cool! If Clair will use a coin, for sure, they will become formidable! But, Elena is on a different level. She stopped Subaru and Shuichi + Yoshioka like it was nothing.

Based on the flashbacks, I guess Elena is not evil. Are Shuichi and Elena previous lovers? Shuichi possibly forgot his past as the side effect of he drunk, as seen by Yoshioka. Also, I can't help but notice the growth of Elena's chest. Last time I saw her, it was not that plump!

The "under 7" score for this series is such a bullshit, i'ven seen hundreds of less entertaining series with bad animation having much better scores than this one that is a super entertaining anime with good art and animation, good action, great ost and a really interesting story and still this has a lower score than a anime about little girls fishing, come on...

I gave it 5/10 max today, but I can see some people would giving this series an '8' but not above '8' because me from 10 years ago would rate this 7/10
- First of all its shonnen-esque, we all know boys like shonnen
- You like ecchi tsundere who clearly wants you
- You like unusual ecchi scenes borderline fantasy
- You like simple story with decent action with your ecchi
- You like superpower cool transformation face off which looks good
combining all of those with decent art and design and you get this piece of show which is toss up between good and bad

You can't force the idea of entertaining according to you to everyone else, even after objectively see this as what its trying to be I still cant disagree if people say this show is terrible

Interesting, interesting, interesting. So Shuuichi and whoever is inside him can actually "become one", uh? That's pretty cool. Now I can't wait to see the fusion him and Claire will take once they reach that level of synchronization.

Overall and after the painfully slow previous episode, I'm glad we got a more solid one this week. Shuuichi/Yoshioka's encounter with Subaru was quite intense but they managed to put a fight against the kid in the end. Animation was quite decent in that regard.
It also seems that Shuuichi and Elena were a thing... or at least knew each other well. Such a lunatics magnet this guy is but leaving that aside, I'm really curious to know what happened between them.

And finally regarding Subaru... I always hated bratty kids and he was no exception. I honestly felt kinda frustrated when Elena saved his little ass but well. On his favor, his "monster form" leaves a lot to interpretation and I like that.

Anyways, seems next episode will address more of Shuuichi's foggy memories. Looking forward to it!

actually there is more than 4k already give it above 8, even the main story has not started yet, the reason why the manga fans like this show are because of the actual story start from this episode, the previous episodes only normal build-ups for upcoming twists

This episode was crazy good! This is what I signed up for! I'm happy it's finally switching away from the needless ecchi and focusing on the interesting mystery and story at hand. Looking forward for more!

I also like that there's an honest lesbian character, would be nice if anime just added gay characters like that where their sexuality isn't everything but it is still mentioned. Good job!

Another week and another episode of Gleipnir ... the strangest series of the season.

Gleipnir is getting stronger every week and begins to show that it is more than just a fan service.

This week we had an extraordinary fight with Shuichi in beast mode and Clair worrying about him ... because as she says "He is her other half" And we also understand that Elena might not be as evil as we might think.

Great episode and I can only wait for next week!

Now I wonder, what happennend? Did he died and Clair's sister recovered him by using the coin? If not, how did he lost his memories?(or got them locked)

It was less weird than the previous one, but,looks like the misteries are already solving. The alien can have dreams, the monster of Shuichi transforms with the feelings of the people inside the costume...

I have though as this show like a non-nude hentai sometimes but, it has a more deep story than it looks.

I hated this episode. the writing was so awkward everyone was so one note. I nearly laughed when that kid said "Not that I care, but you better not get in my way. If you do... nothing will stop me not even you" It's phrased so poorly, Subaru says not that I care pretty much just to sound cool and then he contradicts it and the statement is just confusing to read. Why the fuck did some random girl remember Suchi had some kind of a relationship but Suiichi didn't, she's using his mind.

So many questions after this ep! It looks like Shuuichi has memories with Elena... I'm gonna guess that part of her wish made him forget her or something like that.

That power-up was fucking awesome! Not only did Shuuichi become pretty OP but he also essentially brought himself and Yoshioka back to life. I think it's so cool that he can merge with the person inside the costume. I'd love to see that happen with Claire!

Can´t wait until Shuuichi has merged with all the hot girls to see the different forms. Sharing ALL your secrets sadly is kind of an expensive price. Really a nice way to build trust or make someone else killing you.

Wow after rewatching ep 7. I could totally see Elena and Shuichi trying to stop this gatcha mess until Shuichi got crushed by some OP group. Elena couldn't let him die and thus used a coin to revive Shuichi with his past gatherer time erased from his memory type of thing... This show hasn't been too predictable whatsoever yet. So don't you dare not surprise me show! Curiosity rising!

So from this Ep. it seems that Shuichi and Elena will resurrect if they are killed.

Elena says right at the end that she cannot die until its all over. In a previous Ep. the alien said Shuichi would have died if he had undone his transformation while his head was ripped off. So are the people that were the two other monsters that were killed actually dead? - I hope so as Clair burnt the body of the girl monster.

Does that mean one of them had already collected 100 coins as it seems a bit OP for that to be a 1 coin wish (especially as Clare needed to give the alien a coin to reattach Shuichi's head - or did that wish make him regenerate regardless?).

The fight did not disappoint and the memory flashback is hinting a deeper connection between the characters.

I'll just say it, I personally like Elena way more than Claire. The Anime adaptation is pretty good so far, it becomes more interesting from here on out. I still prefer the uncensored version of the manga though.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. Now that was an episode! A most impressive transformation while memories were melded and the structure crushed beyond normal repair. Followed by that epic fight sequence before sister turned up and stopped it. Question on my lips for next week is did bunny girl survive, and if not or if so, how does this conscious melding thing affect long term. Amazing series. Trumps anything else playing this season. Just keeps getting wilder!

Welp, now that I've seen the episode I can say it doesn't disappoint. Episode 2 was one of the most memorable episodes so-far due to how it handled the whole fight scene. I'm not going to say that this episode topped that performance, but with the way this episode went.. man the moves were solid. Better then the fight against the two-bladed guy. It looks like the series kind of bounces between two extremes, from more ecchi-centric episodes to gut-wrenching fights. Welp, as long as there are more fights the series will do alright.

Next episode will probably go into more detail about the transformation business that went on.. I thought that when Claire found them they would at least see his body there and then inside of that the mashed-up corpse of the girl. I guess the transformation saved her after all.

First several minutes were kinda boring, but the fight that came and other scenes were so cool, haha. I'm wondering what's with Shuuichi and his demon form. Can it be that his special abilities are both merging with somebody who comes inside the plushy form AND the ability to regenerate both himself and his partner?

Whoa. Best fight scene since ep 2, possibly the best episode so far!

Seeing Shuichi's breaking point was a much needed point of character development. I really hope the tone of this episode doesn't become lost down the road; I think this is a much more interesting narrative compared to unwavering benevolent main character which I thought the direction of this show was heading after the last two episodes.

Shoutout @dark-chaos for writing a couple episodes back that the narrative really starts to pick up at episode 7. I was on the verge of dropping this show but I think I'll stick around for the remaining episodes.
