| Good episode, you can definitely feel the tone getting more serious as it begins to deal with discrimination of the cursed children and how to many promoters, they're only tools and nothing more. Hmm still, I feel that the flow of the episode is a little choppy, but that's probably just me. Right now though I just want to see what happens after the current cliffhanger in the manga :P |
| Better than the first episode, though the aimless way the police were bullying the girl seemed forced. |
 |
| Damn i feel sad for the cursed children ._. Every so often you see people trying to kill the different ones because they tend to have obscure powers and/or are stronger which makes people afraid e.g. The police officers. Quite sad to see that the school found out about Enju, surely that must have been because of Hiruko. Why did Enju stay hidden... I don't like that, now I just have a bad feeling that something horrible is going to happen. |
| Too much happened in this episode. Really. And it was kind of predictable. Anyway, really nice ED, I really like it! |
 |
| Wow very emotional and deep episode, this is definitely one of my favourite series this season. Can't wait for the next episode! |
 |
| That was some legit feels... Enju and Rentarou's past was so sweet damn. The op sounds sooooo similar to unifinished from accel world :$$$$ OST was pretty damn sick too. Also props to rentarou's seiyuu I think his voice really fits rentarou's character and how he speaks |

| Well damn the masked man might be crazy, but he is something else. I wonder why Enju ran, was it because she was causing problems for him? |
| hmm, is it really just me or are they trying to fit the first arc in 4-5 episodes? o_o i got the feeling that they cut of a bit too much, rushing trough it compared to the orignal LN o_o @idungoof well... wait for the fight scenes... mwahahaha |

| Great episode. I wasn't expecting things to get so dark, so quick. Founded out a lot things this episode. It's fucked how they do the cursed children. That masked guy is pretty bad ass. Feel sorry for Enju. Wonder who told everyone she was a cc. Why the hell all the girls 10 years old? Is there only two girls on here that are not lolis? |
 |
| I knew the darker parts were coming, but it's surprisingly well done. |

| Oh shit, this episode was MUCH better than the first one. Way more interesting, plus the darker tone was actually welcome and handled relatively well. Kagetane is also pretty badass. Impressive, really, though I'm still proceeding with some caution here. Also, anyone else thought of Seven when Kage gave Rentarou the present? |
SweetKotomi said: It's pretty obvious the masked man leaked it to the school somehow. Glad the series got darker. Got pissed at those policeman who shot a little girl. Liking the masked man, seems like he is convinced that what he is doing is right. Back to Enju, since her secret got leaked out she couldn't stay in school because she would get discriminated for being cursed. How her secret got leaked out is left to speculate but I have a couple theories: - Someone from Enju's school saw her fight the masked man's girl and they leaked her secret - One of her classmates got her mad at school and she accidentally showed her red eyes. Cursed children have red eyes when fighting idungoof said: What has he done to gain that insult? Sure he let them take the girl but maybe that's because he didn't want to get in trouble with Enju there. He also realized what he did was wrong and saved her.Things I learned from this episode: Rentarou is a pussy |

| Omfg that's a sad ending for this episode X__X, this show is getting really good ! |
 |

| Really enjoying this. Dem feels xD Masked man is interesting, i hope he stays that way. He's a fucker telling people she was a cursed child. I think he is just trying to open rentaros eyes to world properly, try and convince him to join him. Masked is right though, the cursed children are their saviours yet they treat them like shit, even kill one for nothing? i know they aren't dead, but the policeman thought so. Glad the shows taking a darker tone, seem to be a few darker anime coming out this season and next :) Does anyone know how many episodes this will be? |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| Y lolis tho |
| Damn, things are escalating really quickly, I have high expectations for this anime to be very good. Its pretty much more darker then the previous episode. The MC's emotions were pretty much spot on in here, and his care for Enju. Can't wait for the next episode. |
| That was an awesome episode. OST sounds cool as well. Can't wait for next week! |
| Talk about dirty cops. That OP kind of sounded like AOT to me. |

He also realized what he did was wrong and saved her.Things I learned from this episode: Rentarou is a pussy I think saying he saved her is a bit of an overstatement on the reality of that. He got there, waited in hiding for 2 cops in an abandoned building to head shot her, continued to wait in hiding until they left, then came out and had a sad. Sure, she was still alive, but I don't think that really deserves classification as having "saved her". I'd classify it as doing your best to wait until she was dead but unfortunately the clingy bitch is going to cut into your living expenses anyway. |
| Yeah. Much, much better than the first episode. The heavy exposition in the first episode really hurt it. |
| the only negative I have about this show so far is the lolis.. anyway good episode I guess. |
 |
| 2nd episode is very intriguing. And love to see that there are other Promoter/initiators too (and there's a lot!!!). Loli vs Loli... And that masked man is pretty twisted too. Although I was about to cry when those policemen shoot the girl. Really disturbing. |
| Great ep. A lot of stuff went down. Amazed Enju wants to leave him she truly showed she cares for him. Well if they keep this up I may have a new favorite. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| This show just seems too damned forced for me to take seriously. I also think I've watched this "discriminated fantasy people" plotline half a dozen times already, and the fact they are all little girls cheapens the emotion at least for me, since it's an easy way to gain sympathy from the viewer. The villain might turn out interesting but the MC is your typical hotheaded dude. |

| This anime is pretty good when Enju isn't talking! ^^" I want to learn more about the masked man. He seems like he's one of those "purge the bad guys" type. |

Is there only two girls on here that are not lolis? 10 years ago their mothers were all infected when they were pregnant with the girls and survived long enough to bear the children. One can assume that subsequently women inside of the protected areas have been able to avoid infection (or haven't survived it long enough to bear children) and thus don't have "cursed" children. So girls over 11 years old that survived the plague/war aren't infected, nor are girls younger than 10 |
| Better than the last episode. I hope it continues getting better |

| Got a little darker this episode. My god those cops, shooting one of the Cursed Children like that. I would've shot those cops myself. Poor Enju. Would've expected more impact from the scene when the school children and teachers find out that Enju is one of the Cursed Children. Really lacked it. Other than Enju, Kagetane Hiruko is probably my favourite character right now lol. |
 |
| Good story, dark and cruel. I like it! And hey a badass villian? |
 |
| ugh i hate over-righteous, pompous antagonists. Nice ED though |
| wonderful epi indeed |

| A great episode. Much, much better than the first one. 1 thing could've made it perfect. If the girl that got shot in the head died. I am not even joking. Sorry if I sound cruel, but to portrait a dark and cruel world sometimes you must show that not everyone can be saved. A girl getting shot in the head and MC being unable to do anything to save her would certainly add to that. And the villain. My God, I love that masked guy. He reminds me of some villain I saw before but I just can't remember who it was. All I know is this guy is simply amazing. So far the villain has been more interesting than the protagonist, which is, in all fairness, pretty standard "good guy, mediocre fighter who got involved in big stuff by accidental meeting with villain". I hope they keep this level of quality in the future. |
| Somehow i'm really pissed off. Somehow i hate the police even more. I hate racism!!!!!!!!!! |

| Yeah, I liked the way it played out better in the manga. The artist managed to draw extremely emotional facial expressions. The shooting scene felt a lot more realistic in the manga as well. Also, the pacing went by so fast. At least it was better than last week's episode. The ending is orgasmic. That is all. |

| Wow, I wasn't expecting this at all. It's actually really awesome. Since the first episode was so infodumpy and tropey I thought it would continue that way, but this episode was tremendously better. |

| Those. Fucking. Cunt. Shit. Cops. Die. I really like that masked man so far. He seem to have an ideal but use psychotic ways. Remind me of Makishima from Psycho-Pass. I like how straightforwadly explained his ''magnetic shield'' instead of keeping it ''secret''. He doesn't give one fuck. From what I understood from his actions and the fact that he didn't allowed his daughter to kill Enju, he probably plan to eradicate the humanity to only leave the cursed children. So the Protectors have a ranking classification. Well, that elite guy got owned by masked dude. We got a bit more background on Initiators and how they live. It really look like their life is an hell. And not every Protectors solve that problem... We also got some interresting background on Enju. Their relationship hasn't been always bright and no wonder why she workship and love him like god, he's the only one that gave her an home and love. From the preview, it look like a new faction appear supporting the Gastrea and we see Rentarou along side with what seem to be another Initiator. |

| The kid gloves are off. The cops shooting the kid was disturbing and appalling >__< Enju takes her medicine/shots everyday to stave off virus corruption right? What will happen to the other girls who don't have access to medicine then? Are they going to turn into Gastrea? :o Was I the only one who got a bit alarmed when the Elder was revealed to be an old man? A part of me was like "wth are you doing to those little girls?!" I think it would have been a gentler scene if it was an old woman *shrugs* Also that Nagi ED mmm... <3 |
