Oh boy, bus driver is back...I always have a weird feeling whenever he appears in this show.

Masaki still seems to be the main source of mystery at the moment of this episode.
Lion's intuition along with the other girls about monsters being present also leads to some weird theories. Hyouketsu no Judgness has gone insane..? As if he wasn't delusional enough already

Damn, didn't expect him to be alive...

Also, I can't tell if Masaki is lying or not. Whether or not she is lying, most characters are annoying...

[raw]

I think it is safe to say, that Masaki had visited the Nanaki village before, accompanying her cousin, Reiji (or Eiji). Her cousin began seeing monsters as some of our familiar characters and while Masaki fell in her steps and lost consciousness, her cousin disappeared.
So, her motivation for being there with the group seems to be finding a clue about her missing cousin.

Two of the missing persons - Chuunibyou and Yotssun - make a different entry. The story with Yotssun is the same loop of events from Masaki's perspective. Chuuni reappeared in his person.

I am no sure what MaiMai exactly said, but I think she confirmed with Lion and Nanko that she didn't see a monster Mitsumune in the tunnel - she covered (probably) for Nyanta's "hornet".
Hence, some of the people in the tour don't see monsters, because they have no internal wounds, others see their customized setbacks in different monstrosity shapes.

More or less everyone had conformed to the group 's dynamic at one point or another, because "reasons".

The driver kidnaps the main trio in the bus, but his target is Masaki, from whom he seeks assisstance in seeing/talking to his dead daughter again.

Another plan is set in motion to follow the bus and the driver, Valkana and Koharun have a common goal (not sure what they intend to do, except they decided to get ahead of the master group).

That being said, Masaki isn't off the hook, still distrusted by the others and with a bizarre unawareness of the plausibility of her own story.

Actually, lots of things happened in this episode, although the promised focus again was "lost" in diversions :D

Masaki's too cute. Really felt bad for her with everyone barraging her with questions. Her sad faces are adorable tho

Maimai wanting someone to stand up for her and protect her was cute too

Koharun's also <3

Those 3 are my best girls and pretty much all I care about. Nanko is nice too

Judginess at the end was lol and Hayato getting pissed at Mitsumune's care for Masaki is hilarious. Yandere overload incoming

Oh wow, that one dude was still alive. Well we're branching off into different groups again, and next week looks like it'll be the bus ride of fears. I like the little group Lion formed with denim jacket girl. Still, I'm surprised now 2/3rds in nothing more concretely horrific or gory has really happened. We still have most of our cast, but most of them still feel entirely dispensable...so why haven't they been yet? When are we gonna start building to a climax, next week's haunted bus ride?

The one time riding with a stranger could have saved a life or two . . .



Because . . .YOU WERE NOT BLOODY LISTENING TO ANYTHING THIS GIRL WAS TELLING YOU! SHE CANT GO BACK! SHE TRIED!


.. .I can't even.



WHAT KIND OF RETARDED LOGIC IS THIS?! Your brother goes missing and you want to stay there?! Screw going back / staying there, go call the police to find your bro or just stay out in general



-Face desk- I think that silicon implant is crushing your brain.

Koharun is actually acting sensible and Nanko deducts the obvious: Get over your fear to get out of the village. This premise/idea makes this whole ordeal seem really cheap, like Kiznaiver's theme . . .

I just wanted to see my cousin again...
That's why I:
- Abandoned him immediately
- Didn't contact his family or mine
- Didn't call the police
- Started a new life in a different town, even working there
- Never looked for him
- Screwed around on the internet posting on MAL until I saw craigslist listing for spooky villages
- Hid this information along with the knowledge about hallucinations from the people that could have helped me, you guys
- Became a missing person in a newspaper, but not Reiji because I made him up

All right the stupidity of most of these characters is really getting on my nerves. I understand their paranoia since they have no idea what's happening (like most of us viewers, probably) but all this finger pointing at Masaki and her being a ghost is getting ridiculous. I seriously thought at least half of these people would be dead by now, seeing as how we're now 8 episodes in, but Yottsun, if I'm not mistaken, is the only one dead so far. Hopefully Lovepon, at the very least, gets killed at some point. Lol looks Hyoketsu no Judgeness is back.

Ugh hivemind influences are scary, I think Masaki's withholding something but I feel that it's fairly obvious that she holds no malice and isn't deserving of the stupid and cruel treatment that these people have given her.

Wow Ass-whatcha-call-it no Judgeness is still alive, that's cool. Seriously though, where's my man Jack at? xD

Speedstar's heading down the yandere route and I'm hoping they explain why soon

I cant wait for next week. Each week leaves off on a painful cliffhanger that makes me want to watch the next episode so bad. These weekly waits are painful. I can see why they would still suspect Masaki after her story because it was very vague so im not sure what to think. I dont think she was lying but i dont think she was telling the whole truth. Cant believe the chuuni came back. I wonder if he found something important. I wouldnt be surprised if yotsun came back. I dont think anyone will die in this series.

Did any one notice the car and the camera in Misaki's flashback? They seem pretty old style but Mitsumune used a touchscreen phone in the first episode. Also there is no exact date on the newspaper which report Misaki's missing. Maybe she is a time traveler!

Another excerpt from newspaper clipping collections says several unidentified persons showed up. So I guess they were in the same situation with Misaki when she went back from this village to real world last time.

This fucking show man. This fucking show.

I'm liking it more than I should probably be. (To be fair; I think the show's a Poe (as in Poe's Law). Considering the over-the-top nature of pretty much anything in this show, I can't take it as anything other than a parody. To be fair, I don't think any of the staff has/will confirm if this show was to be taken seriously or not, but I'm guessing the latter; At least I hope)

(I excuse my bad english before hand)

imo, I'm glad that the series recovered from the mess that was episode 7 (seriously, that thing was waaaay too fast paced)

At least this episode had some order... but most of the characters are acting completely irrational (is not like you can think clearly under that situation...)

Stuff we know so far

- Is not the first time that Masaki visits Nanakimura
- Everyone is freacking crazy
- The driver really lost it
- Everyone is freacking crazy
- Its funny how the character I hated the most in the first 2 episodes (Valkana) is now my favourite character, also Valkana + Koharun > Mitsumune + Masaki
- Everyone is freacking crazy
- Hyouketsu no Judgness is back
- Everyone is freacking crazy
- Where is the other Jack?
- EVERYONE IS FREACKING CRAZY!!!!
- Also... what was doing Nanko with her gut?... I guess has something to do with her back story

More suspicious characters imo:

- Dahara: There is something about him... I feel like he knows something we don't know

I'm calling it, either he dies, or he is the villian or something

- Nanko: I always get suspicious about characters that don't give a clue about being the bad guy...

If she ends up knowing something/being the baddie at the end of the season, you all owe me a pancake

every actions and conclusions they've taken were really really weird.
I have to say not even the main chara is likeable, annoying at best.

even masaki, that girl really messed up, how the hell they gonna believe you with that kind of explanation?? its like she diggin her own grave.
well, i know she still got something she's hiding, obviously but really? are you that stupid to make yourself even more suspicious?

Let us also Acknowledge that it took ONE BUS DRIVER to get that bus out of the Ditch...out of the mud...and into that Village...

Why is everyone so quick to get all aggressive on Masaki?
They don't really have any concrete proof on her, Guess people always need someone to blame to ease their minds.
These people are almost on the same parochial level as the people from Koutetsujou.
Felt sad for Masaki being bombarded by the group like this.

I thought the driver died, Started laughing when the bus appeared xD

Now I more believe that this "Lost Village" is more like a governmental secret experimental facility than just a plain village that probably get some kind of "curse" for breaking some kind of tradition, right after Masaki spit out about knowing the tour online from neighboring city.
Oh well.

Masaki's actions do seem suspicious and I understand the characters are acting out of their paranoia, But aren't they being a little too hard on her?
They just blindly accuse her whenever they get the chance. Some of them even decide to disregard her entire story just because the explanation that she's a ghost seems more 'logical'?

Wait. Hold up. What the heck. There were two Koharuns??

I want to say that, that is probably only an art error. If it's not, then we are on to something here.

So the characters FINALLY addressed what I have been saying for ages now. They see different things based on their "demons." It seems like Masaki doesn't have any?

And as for Nanko, I feel like her scar is possibly a lost baby? The way she was just "playing" with her fat was way too focused to just be nothing. Either she has a grave disease or she lost a baby.

The preview looks like there was a creepy hand that both Speedstar and Mitsumune saw. Scary stuff.

Pirate Jack is back and apparently not dad. Seems like he's traumatized though. BUT if you think about it, Pirate Jack suffered a fate similar to Masaki. He fell off a cliff just like her.

Always excited for a new ep of this!

It would help if she gave her answers with confidence and didn't seem unsure. She is still hiding something, maybe she would have said it if the busdriver didn't take her away or not. Yeah the group can be a bit harsh, Lovepon is one of those very annoying characters that adds to the fuel, but I guess people get like that when their lives are at stake.

Masaki is still suspicious as heck. Whats with her blurting out about "another village"? She knows a lot more than she's letting on still, and Mitsumune is preventing everyone else from getting the truth out of her.

The pace of this show is ridiculous, I get the feeling that by the end of the entire show, nothing will actually be resolved and none of the mysteries will be brought to light either. It's episode 8 and they're still currently grappling with exactly "what" the mystery of the village is, they haven't even identified that yet, so how are they going to move on to the next stage, the "source" of the mystery? Heck, they still haven't explained why they have those news articles of Masaki in the first place. Too many mysteries and not enough time in this show to solve them all.

It wouldn't surprise me if the show ended with no one else except Masaki and the less traumatized people on the tour finding their way back to civilization, and that they won't even show how or why it happens, just that it does because "reasons".

Here's hoping Reji appears to the group soon. I would love to see Mitsumune's reaction to watching Masaki interact with her cousin, the boy she literally sacrificed everything for.
