TakamiKaribuchi said: HereticHunter said: well I find it a bit weird that you state this to be boring, but you managed to complete Sakurada Reset and also getting trough monogatari series (shows I like but I admit it can be a bit boring in certain cases) I know these 2 episodes were a bit slow, but they act much as a introduction, at least that is what I think, seems like things are going to be even better with that cliffhanger. (this doesn't have anything to do if I like it or not) Honestly, it was probably the characters that kept me going on Sakurada Reset and a bit with Monogatari, at first. Although, the monogatari characters became less compelling for me as I went on. I also liked the music and the art in both those shows. I certainly cannot deny that they were slow and boring at times, but I actually like other aspects and there seemed to be more to them just world building. I just don't find anything good about this series, besides the world building. It's pretty weird. That explains pretty much... I understand now |

| That locust swarm at night was GORGEOUS, wonderful scene. Also interesting bit at the end with the Mud Whale people to be sinners, probably cause they still have emotions and the ''outside world'' doesn't. Why they attack them for it though, we'll have to see why that is. That creature feeding on emotions is crazy. Not yet sure if Sami is really dead, if she is then this is too soon for me to really care about it. |
| This took a dark turn real quick. Curious about why the Mud Whale people are considered to be sinners. |
 |
| Sorry bros, I will need to skip this series. After reading the manga, my heart is not ready for this kind of stories T.T |
| Loved it. I agree with comments stating it was slow at some moments, but still it was a great episode. Envious Sami was adorable. She and Chakuro made a well paired couple. Such a pity she is most likely dead. The lucust swarm was nice, unfortunately it interrupted Lykos' confession to Chakuro. It feels it could have been a warning. The one with time left to take action. I'm really interested in council and what they do know. The ending was quite unexpected and the action is left in very interesting point. Makes you wait for the next week with curiosity. 5/5 |
| Damn, shit just hit the fan. So I'm guessing that there's going to be some deaths. Is this show pulling a Danganronpa on us by killing the moe crush of the MC?! Will Chakuro find his inner strength and kick out this invading militia?! Will he be able to teach kuudere-chan that having feelings is ok?! Will we know more about the war going on behind the scenes?! Will you stop reading this with an exagerated narrator voice?! Find out next week on Kujira no Kora's episode 3 discussion thread! |
 |
| Damn! This is awesome. This one and The Ancient Magus' Bride are going to be fighting for the anime of the season title. |

| Loved the ending ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| the writing is weak in how things are explained through one person talking to someone else unnaturally, and often, too. other than that, still goes good, wonder where this will go |
| This week's episode was a bit worse, what with the whole "nice guy convinces lonely outcast girl that she is loved/has a heart" thing. Solid ending though. Peco said: Agreed. For example, it made little if any sense for Lady Taisha to tell her own righthand man about the nature of her political position. Obviously he knows. It would have been more natural if she said something like, "I'm frustrated that the Council won't let me see the girl." The viewer could have inferred that the Council holds the real power and she's more of a figurehead. the writing is weak in how things are explained through one person talking to someone else unnaturally, and often, too. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| I'm not a fan of this cliffhanger at all. It feels manipulative, since Sami got shot (and I honestly haven't had time to get all that attached to her)... And it's annoying that the ending is that almost everyone seems to be talking about, even though we supposedly learned potentially interesting things throughout the episode. In other words, the cliffhanger feels heavy handed and all it does is distract me from what I've enjoyed about it so far. It wouldn't feel out of place in an action romp like Attack on Titan, but in this show, it does. |
MetaThPr4h said: Oh c'mon, you can't just end the episode there! After last week's episode I decided to read the manga, and unfortunately, the scanlated version ends about only a couple chapters past this too. Waaaaa, I dunno if I can hold on another week! (Though I do know at least a little bit of what happens next week, which I will keep to myself.) They really handled the nous/Lykos very well. It was a little confusing in the manga (it looked like a bumpy wall with weird symbols on it), so I was glad that this episode made it clearer. The art is astounding. Undoubtedly the best art of the season, and good voice acting too. I usually rate at most one series at a 9 per season, but this is my 9 for this season. Provided, of course, that it continues to thrill me like these last two episodes have. |

| So like... I thought there would be some kind of foreshadowing, or hints, or... anything to build up to the tragedy I knew would come with this anime... so like... WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT. YOU... HOW Dare you just drop that much depression on me INSTANTLY. Could have at least made it slightly subtle... I WASN'T READY FOR THAT. I want the next episode right now. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Dem , this one and the Ancient of Magus Bride have the best art work in this season. So gorgeous ! Also really curious what will happen in the next episode, made me have a bad feeling. :/ |
 |
| wow that went dark quick |
 |
| Better than the first episode, thankfully. |
Same here! I just loved this episode! |
 . |
| So that's where the "Drama" element come to. Okay, guess I'll keep with it for now. |

| Hope Sami tanks that bullet. Pliz make my wishful thinking come true :'( |
| 'Looks' absolutely gorgeous, so damn satisfying to look at, maybe the tone/dialogue is a little flat/bland/monotonous though. eg the buildup to the ending could and should have been more impactful. Josh said: For example, it made little if any sense for Lady Taisha to tell her own righthand man about the nature of her political position. Obviously he knows. It would have been more natural if she said something like, "I'm frustrated that the Council won't let me see the girl." The viewer could have inferred that the Council holds the real power and she's more of a figurehead. Bad exposition's definitely a problem, but it's a fault that is so universal in anime that you do get to take it for granted I guess. |
| Couldn't stand the MC so hopefully this makes some changes in his personality but most likely not, oh well. Atleast it is a gorgeous looking anime. |
 |
| Very good looking animation and I can see myself getting more interested in the characters and story as the show goes on from here. Only 12 episodes though, so every episode needs to deliver or the story could fall flat. |
| It's just episode 2 and tragedy strikes already? i hope Sami is okay, looks like she took a bullet for Chakuro! oh noes! OP is very nice! 4/5. |
 |
| killing off the waifu without any other cute characters remaining to fill the void is not ok in my books butt fuck it, maybe they'll bring her back as some kind of bizarre cybord sex bot or somethin I dunno surprise me JC Staff |
| Already something terrible happens, and we were learning so much about numerous people, and the locust scene was really pretty. :( Things will surely get worse here, it seems. I'm already really into this anime very much and it's only been two episodes. Really pretty artstyles, especially the background, nice music (love the OP and ED), very interesting in general to me. I'm very happy to be into this. :) |
 |
| That episode was amazing omg. And I can't get over the visuals of this animeI'm loving it. Am I the only one who thinks the OP and ED are absolutly amazing. Those vocals are haunting. So far I'm loving this show. I hope they continue down the path and that the main cast leaves the island. |
| I was rooting for Chakuro and Sami... they were so damn cute... and then... NO. I think I'm gonna need to prep my heart because this anime is going to make me suffer. |
 |
| Enjoyed this episode waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more, not that i didn't enjoy the first one, but wasn't too sure about the plot and such, but this episode didn't disappoint. I'm surprised, this is getting too interesting. The art espectacular, the music, specially when they were exploring the other island at the beginning was amazing. 5/5. Great expectations for this one. |

| Why do I get a Kingdom Hearts vibe from this show? Im just reminded of Destiny Islands Im not too fond for the animation and backgrounds, maybe im just not used to them yet, and they kinda just threw everything at us, but I enjoy the story and holy shit that ending!!!! Really looking forward to episode 3 |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Spring 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| shit i mean i thought something like this would happen soon but not this soon still can't get over how wonderful this art style looks |
 |
| The openning made me thino this was going to be more slice of life but then it turned dark. The show is interesting but some transitions are indeed weird. The scene with that guy smiling and being all like "ya know I used to have a kid...it died. Oh but I still like caring for Children" felt very much like unnecessary expositive. But it was still a somewhat enjoyable episode. |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| The manga wasn't in the same order, it's pretty disturbing ! Lykos seems to already have emotion and this isn't the case in the manga. :o But this second episode was pretty cool. :) I don't really like the ending, how it was brought. But I already know what happened it's probably because of that, it's my problem. x) |

| Holy damn, that ending.... I didn't see that one coming. |
  |
| I did not expect that... Poor Sami, I liked her and kinda shipped with Chakuro already. I can't wait for next ep.! |
| Sami... don't dare to die or I will kill you for it! So serious this is black horse in current season. |
 |
| Meh, was a step down from episode one. None of the main characters is likeable to me. |
 |
| That escalated quickly. Oh well, bring on the tragedy! I devour that stuff by buckets. |
I witnessed a loli spill from a cartridge and somehow retained my sanity. |
| Didn't really like the comedy and anime tropes like in the last episode. It feels like only the setting is different but they act like they were actually living in modern Japan. The man who laughed while talking about his dead child was instant facepalm. Also, main character is still pretty annoying, I really hope the fix his attitude soon. Other than that, it was pretty average episode, even though emotion-thieving blob was certainly a nice idea. The end... well, it was unexpected but no hard feelings for me as Sami was just childhood friend archetype without needed screentime to develop any character, no loss for me. I really hope this anime won't rely on those shockers, death like this had no other meaning other than disturb viewers (when she could serve as nice rival for Lykos inducing further drama - Sami touching the blob out of her love and despair to not feel any love towards MC would be a lot better choice for example). |
| When they left the island last week, I didn't think they'd be back an hour later lol. But at least they were able to learn a bit about the emotionless people. It was such a light-hearted episode and then bam. Sami... :( |
| Oh my, so the island is already doomed then. I want to believe Sami is okay. Shame, was quite enjoying the Gargantia like atmosphere. But I guess it'll be more like Future Boy Conan. |
 |
| Little slow and boring,Lykos needed an episode to say Falania is doomed annoying but has potential to be good. |
| It's funny how regularly the laws are broken here. That ending was shocking! |
