Oh poor Zapp lol. He looked like a fool this episode.

It's interesting to see more background story (3 years ago) about this fictional version of New York. This episode reminded me of how awesome Klaus is again. His abiliies and commanding presence reall stands out.

From the storytelling, I kinda like the style they did this week. It felt different compared to some of the other episodes but works quite well.

I feel like I've said it many times this season; but this episode was a lot better than the first one.
While I liked the mindless chaos that it was; this flashback episode was so hype. Klaus is my favorite character and seeing him work together with Steven, reminded me of the start of bungo s2 with the flashback of MC's story; which to date is probably my favorite arc of any supernatural/action shows.
I hope we get more flashbacks in the future.

I hope we see that doctor again in the future.

Blood Breeds really are insanely op in this series...

I didn’t think the dog could talk so I was really surprised when it started talking lol

Zapp is still as funny as ever.

Lol Zapp was hilariously sad in this episode. Not much he can do when he's injured though.

That was a cool flashback focusing on Klaus and Steven and the action in this episode was great. Looking forward to the next one.

Poor Zapp got REKT hard in this episode xD

Still, this was a fantastic episode filled with a really interesting, tragic yet touching self contained story and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it all play out both in the past and present day, and it was all wrapped up with some awesome action sequences too

That doctor girl is pretty cool too....I kinda ship her with Klaus now lol

Great episode. Was pretty cool that we got some backstory of Klaus and Steven encountering the hospital and the dude who attacked it and then end up fighting again 3 years later. Also poor Zapp, he doesn't get much credit but he is the true MVP.

The ED is really damn good. I love it just like the 1st season's ED. Very excited for the next episode.

Zapp couldn't catch a break in this episode. He couldn't do anything while injured, but he's truly the MVP. The flashback was pretty cool, focusing on Klaus and Steven when they met some guy three years ago and beating him three years later. They met a really cool doctor. The action was epic.

I found last weeks episode to be just a bit too noisy and all over the place so this was much better and a lot more like how good I remember the first season being, end credits are also really good of course.

Next week's episode is called Day In Day Out and that shares a title with a bonus chapter from the Trigun manga (it's one where Vash does that egg balancing gun training that got adapted into a few scenes of one of the anime episodes). So I'm not sure what to expect but you can never be sure with this show.

Zapp getting owned by the dog was the highlight of the episode. It was so sudden I lost my shit xD
The doctor girl is pretty cool, so was the bad guy of the episode (too bad he was defeated at the end, but antagonists in this series tend to last very few anyway).

ED was better of what I expected, especially since the previous one was hard to beat. It gave me a Space Dandy feeling.

I love every script, character and scene of this anime, seriousness, happiness, sadness, this anime has everything ...

The care that gives the studio to the animation is amazing, everything is full of details that make this anime a delight for the eyes.





Amazing episode, I was waiting for this with a lot of desire.
5/5

Yup, like people said, it was even better than the first episode and the first episode was already pretty damn solid.

Also, that ED might be one of my favorite this season.

The first half of the episode was great and expected. I loved it up until the point they brought up the dog monster coming back. Then all hell came loose and nothing made sense. The new girls was suddenly a badass looking chick doing a bunch of different things, sometime near the end she turned back to normal with how she looked before this new mini me. Oh look suddenly the vampire guy is back too. The flashback with Klaus was cool and all, but I wish we had a little more info than all of that being jam packed into one episode...

Felt bad for Zapp when he got hit by the dog, he's always in pain. At least he was avenged. Also the ED song is great

Sonic is the real MVP this episode. If he didn't hold Zapp soul long enough he will die.

Anyway next is Chain episode which is great.

Also still think Sugar Song to Bitter Step is better.

Honestly though I really miss her. The difference between the rest of the show and that fantastic ending sequence is like night and day. That said, the episode was better than I thought it'd be. Worldbuilding is always going to be welcome.

Yeah, in order to beat bloodbreeds, you need to know their name. Leo uses his sharingan to see their names, so Klaus can seal them away

Damn, this was some good action-packed and well-conducted backstory episode. Undoubtedly, the better episode among the two that have already aired thus far and potentially one of the best of the show.
Zapp was definitely the most helpless character of this episode and that goes without saying really. Hence, a real pity xD. Klaus is the badass character that we imagined and I finally understood now that how Klaus managed to get the name of a Vampire earlier in the previous season. I knew it was Leonardo all along but I never figured his eyes could do that much. Well, that doctor who sacrificed her humanity for saving the patients was one cool character and it was awesome to see her take down the dog of that Villian. Best thing about this episode though was how the background story was handled and I must say that it was great. Lol Moment of this episode goes to Zapp screaming out his declaration of war not to realize that the dog has already been taken down and that too of his rival or so I imagine he'd like to refer it to as.
Overall, a spectacular episode and I hope the following episodes will be as good as this. 5/5

Much better episode than the first one, with lots of great action and an interesting story alongside it all as well. Also, I completely forgot that Leonardo's eyes could do that, but I suppose that made it all the more awesome. Also, the doctor could be pretty cool as a recurring character, what with her powers and her well-established links to several members of Libra.

Another good dose of crazyness and some needed background for Klaus and Steven. I have to say, Hellsalem's Lot becomes more unpredictable the more you watch this show. Also, very nice action scenes. Looking forward to the next episode.

Matsumoto Rie is credited for storyboard for both OP and ED animation in season 1 :) She also directed and did the storyboard for this season's ED as well.

Another exciting and enjoyable episode. Kept repeating the scene where Zapp's soul tried to leave lol. The song used during the last fight was beautiful and somehow really fitting. I also thought it was cool when it was shown that Leo was translating the Blood Breed's name.

Studio Bones does not lose opportunity to show how good he is in his work. The episode was really remarkable in many ways, this time there was not only the goliard of the characters to be the protagonist, but also a lot of space for the plot and the knowledge of the characters. Yay!

Great episode. A much different vibe this time around.

It's nice to learn more about Klaus and Steven's past, especially when the fog showed up.

Woah, Luciana in her final form was a total babe. When she first met Klaus, were they flirting with each other? Now I hope we see her again soon.

The ED was lots of fun, which is expected of course for this series.
