| 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. |

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). |

| 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! |

Mio is such a beauty |
| Can ask if this is the same explanation in the manga? Somehow I got confused with the shadow sickness part that Shinpei realized he's already been afflicted. I know it's because he asked the Shiori shadow first thing about seeing someone similar to her but I thought according to Nezu in ep 1, shadow sickness is where you see your own shadow which it isn't the case on Shinpei? Does that mean getting afflicted by shadow sickness happens anytime if a shadow "copies" you even if you're still alive? (which is the flash in the funeral) |

| Shadow Ushio no doubt and I bet Sou is a shadow just because why would he ask if Shinpei is a shadow from the get go. |
| I almost thought he's gonna get stabbed upstairs, Shin needs to be more careful xD Mio likes Shin, but Shin still likes his dead girlfriend. Longing for your dead girlfriend oh boy, *umineko flashbacks* The last sequence as Shin run passes Mio and follows his dead girlfriend??, love that running animation accompanied by the ED. |

Does that mean getting afflicted by shadow sickness happens anytime if a shadow "copies" you even if you're still alive? (which is the flash in the funeral) Yes being afflicted with the shadow sickness means that you have been copied, and it isn’t necessary that you have to see the shadow to know since shinpei could deduce that because he is looping, you can say that he is paying attention to his surroundings and the fact that he hears the flash in the funeral + seen it at the house so he confirmed that he might have been copied already |
bam |
| What an ending, Ushio makes her reappearance. That bit with Shiori actually scared me lol. |
| Unlucky! Watching this anime feels very short. I can't have to wait 24 minutes for a week. |
 |
| At first, I thought I would be easily able to predict which one would be a shadow. And don't get me wrong, I still have some heavy suspicions, but I think the episode did a good job at muddying the waters for me by the end. (I thinking Sou could be bc he didn't say the important thing he wanted to the day before) |

| The thrill of not being able to differentiate between Shadows and real humans is unreal. Great animation, lots of angles used throughout the episodes, unique plot and suspenseful story telling and direction; this might actually be the best anime of the season. |

| 50% chance the Ushio we saw at the end is her doppelganger and she murders Shinpei here. I'm hoping instead that Ushio killed her double with her own two hands (hence the strangulation marks) and from here she'll be part of the main cast though. |

| I half regret having read the manga, I wasn't properly surprised by the reveal at the conclusion of this episode, instead I was waiting in anticipation for Ushio to make her appearance instead. Still put a grin on my face though, almost feel like I did back when Game of Thrones as in its early glory days looking in amusement at show only watchers reactions ha. |
 |
| didn't know Japanese spoke with a Texas accent. |
| So Sou-Kun like Mio-chan but she likes Shinpei instead... Ouch, poor my man |
| DILF characters need more appreciation Hot boys which are not Bishies also welcome |
| Gotta love watching my man Eren in a different work, he's doing great for his role lmao On the other side, i am absolutely loving it and it kills me that we know so little. Now i wonder what was that ending...was she really good? And is Shinpei really safe to trust? We'll see i guess but can't wait. |

| Love the AOT reference in this episode. Mio : Shinpei what am I to you 😔 Shinpei : Family !!!! |
| I love Mio's va, it's just adorable. The mysteries are slowly building up yet they don't have a clue on what's going on. |

absastro said: I was thinking, from what it looks like shadows make clones when they kill the actual person. That’s what happened with Totsumura. But then Ushio and Mio have had shadows while still being alive? If there can be shadows of living people, why don’t the shadow creatures go around copying and killing every islander? Just my thoughts. The obvious answer is that having two people running around is suspicious as hell. They can easily disappear people once they kill them, so it's far more convenient to follow through with the deed. Not to mention there's currently no reliable way of differentiating a shadow from the person. A complete switcheroo is practically unnoticeable. |
 |
| I have a nagging feeling Sou was exchanged with a Shadow during the night before the festival. It just... feels like it or he was a Shadow all along |
| I really can't help holding my breath watching these episodes, it's so strange. The way the tension is built and fear is communicated through the different direction plus voice acting is insane. Really good episode, let's see what happens next. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Whew Shinpei was saved this time by a hair's breadth. I wonder why Shadow Shiori left when Shiomi came, she could have just killed them both and then copy them. Unless they have limit to how many they can copy at a time or something. Good to have Sou onboard too, is he the real one thou? Pretty obvious on who has feelings for who but I like Mio x Shinpei. Mio's really adorable and she looked beautiful in yukata. |
 |
| Ushio has appeared! I don't think that's really her though... I understand the mc not being so apprehensive because he's still grieving. I don't think this meet up is going to be a good thing though! |
 |
| Shinpei is doing an incredible job with his investigation and keeping Mio as safe as possible. |
