I feel bad for anyone who is a fisherman in this episode/series. I guess it's because what lurks in the water isn't really just fish but a monster...

Damn.

What part of this was a breather lol?

This was a fucking massacre, my goodness that was intense.....I wonder who that badass girl was though

Japanese to engish, kage = shadow and wani = crocodile/alligator, so Kagewani = shadow crocodile #TitleDrop

Not as good as previous episodes, IMO.

This time the monster is a shadow crocodile.

Good to see the girl is alive, but she had lost an arm!

Finally know what a kagewani is. That was bloody. There was a clan that chased it and were apparently the ones responsible for making it? So are all of the other monsters man-made too?

The shadow crocodile seems a bit out there compared to the other monsters. I'm guessing because as time passed they switched to more science based approaches at creating monsters, while this monster would have been created from some occult black magic type stuff.

Thankfully, the daughter somehow survived.

I like how despite the episodic nature of this series, there does seem to be an overarching story to it all. I wonder who that mysterious girl was.

The titular monster finally shows up. I'm sure it'll make a reappearance. Pretty good episode, besides how the girl handles the shotgun like a toy.

The episode wasn't a disappointment but it wasn't as good as the previous ones imo , it's probably the fact that it wasn't a "physical" monster so i got less interested . this anime is great but it'd be so much better without that episodic format it made this episode a little off especially at the end i was like , "why the hell is Banba-sensei here ?" and the fact the the girl said that they created the monster , it really needed Explanations ,
This anime isn't a disappointment at all , i'd even say it's surprisingly good but i also think that it'd be so much better if it was longer because in my opinion it's a great anime but it really lacks Depth and a real Story . we've had a small story contents after episode 3 with the black fluid and last episode where we learned that the monsters could imitate Humans but it doesn't seem like it really has an effect on the story

I get a weird vibe from all those shadowy embers we saw floating up from the burnt sail ... I wonder if those fragments are somehow related to the creation of all the other monsters.

Damn straight! and i bet that was just a baby Kagewani, and if he was just a baby he has devoured entire villages, the final boss of this series is probably some leviathan Kagewani that eats the shadows of entire cities.

Calling it now!

I thought the same!! Is Banba interested about these monster because his "clan" created them? Is he searching for information about his ancestors?

I love this show, I hope it ends with a good wrap up - though it makes me think there will be a second season

Yo, that monster was badass. But so was shotgun chick. She probably went on to kill more monsters with only one arm, too.

The episode felt a bit weak, but i guess we learnt a couple of other things.

A clan that chases the shadow crocodile, they also happened to make them & i wonder if a shadow crocdile killed banbai family. I wonder if this clan is related to the other monsters.

Damn, what a fatality move by the Shadow Crocodile. :P I had to laugh a bit when I saw her head get chopped off. Yup, I am a devil.

Pretty good ep. Shadow Crocodile that was something new. That woman with a gun look epic and sexy.^_^

Wow, I can't believe human can create these monsters. So maybe humans have started this disaster. I would love to know more about these monsters and the MC's connection with them. And why does he have a scar that ache each time he is close to those kind of monsters. This anime need more plot development. I mean it's only 3 ep. left. :/

The concept of this monster was interesting, I really liked it. And the way they killed him...fucking awesome.

With only 3 episodes left, I wonder how this is going to end.

The stranger said they created this monster? Does that mean most or all of these monsters were created by humans? Could sensei be descendant of monsters then? A survivor of a monster attack?

With only three episodes left and too many unanswered questions I wonder how it will be solved.

iirc they defeated one in ep 3 as well, and don't let me count all the monsters the monkey industries(???) killed.

anyway this episode reminded me a lot of mushishi, liked it.

nooo, shadow monsters are the worst _xD!
i hate them with a fiery passion; does it mean it's safe to hide in a completely lit room?
or does it mean that it's safe if all the lights are out or can that thing move around endlessly?
argh.
