| so they invented a disease for him |
 |
| They're really pushing the ship aren't they? Well at least we got Shirogane wearing a dress shirt with possibly nothing else. Kinky. I think I'm actually okay with the kid getting kidnapped. I hate to complain about something so minuscule but his crying was starting to annoy me. So I think I'll prefer the rescue route than the protect one. I'm overall more curious how the heck Narumi managed to survive so long, unless he didn't get it until a certain age or something. |

People already complained about the pacing and villains of this show when it's only episode 2, and it's a source material from 1996 which is older than your so-called popular shonen trope. Heck, those people conveniently forget how many episodes it takes for Fairy Tails / One Piece/ Naruto to even start rolling in plot. Karakiri's Circus pacing is already pretty darn fast and get to the point real quick, and established motivation and characters way earlier. And I heard the plot is still in intro-phase too. |

I think you missed the point the pacing is not a problem at all , the most important thing is how depth the story is . How original the work is . Those show you listed are original with depth story unlike the generic famous show named ( mha) sorry if you're a fan of mha . But this show is better than mha at least as a story and characters I think you misinterpreted my point too because I'm not defending MHA at all. It was pretty good later on, but it was immensely over-rated too in my opinion. (Like seriously, west already treat it like the #2 best anime ever base on a certain vote which is more like popularity contest. Oh, and #1 ofc got voted One Piece cuz it got the most viewers.) |

Well Fairy Tail I agree, now you can't compare to One Piece... It runs without breaks(unfortunately) and is always catching up to the manga, so the plot pace is what it is... Karakiri has all the content released so it's their responsibility to pace the adaptation well, to me they are doing a good job I think. |
| Shirogane is such a badass, she crushed that killer like he was nothing! And Narumi is great too, it was because he was also there that Masaru was saved back then, but they let their guard down, and the poor boy was kidnapped, and it doesn't seem it's going to be easy to retrieve him. I wasn't expecting a situation like this so soon. Masaru also suffered a lot, and now people are trying to kill or kidnap him just for money, a money he doesn't even want from a father he practically didn't even know. He doesn't deserve this, he just wanted his mother to have a grave, and to be able to live in peace, this was too much, no wonder Narumi cried for him. I also liked how he shared his past with Masaru in order to cheer him up. |
 |
| I like Narumi and his disease. I think so far this anime has a bit story behind it and I will be enjoying it. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| Another very good episode! so there's already 2 groups out there targeting Masaru huh...this gonna get messy! 5/5. |
 |
| so uh was that the joker at the end? |
| Even with the explanation, this guy's disease still makes no sense. Still a good show regardless. |
| Wow, this was another very tense episode. |
 |
| as if i couldn't love this show more than i already did after episode 1, narumi becomes certified best boy. |
| Good episode, it certainly increased my opinion of this series. I wonder what is the point of assassin guy telling them all the information, if his job is to kill Masaru, then they are completely opposite in their goal. They share more in common with the kidnapping faction than them. It's a bit of a shame that Masaru is so weak, but it is realistic. A single child has little to do against adults like that. I'm more surprised that Shirogane let him go to the toilet alone so easily, it's a good place to kidnap him. Though I guess it's a matter of experience, with kidnappers/assassins having more experience than them. I'm looking forward to see how this develops. I also like the vibe of old-school action anime that this show has. |
| I kinda like the MC ...who has the laugh syndrome....Enjoying it so far |
 |
| Really enjoying this so far (And I'm starting to ship Shirogane and Narumi lol) and I can't wait to see what the deal with this kid's messed up family |
| All right, I already really liked the first episode and this one is no different. Puppets are probably gonna offer some great fights (even though I have trouble being impressed by action done by CGI models). Now to the people talking about MHA : if you think that it's overrated than you should stop bringing it up into every discussion, just let it go and focus on the serie we're here for. It's fresh and original, unlike MHA sure, but I find in Karakuri what I love in MHA : expressive characters. Yes sometimes it feels forced and exagerrated, but there's no better way to quickly get a grip on a character's personnality and therefore caring for it. So far the best series I'm watching. |
| A great episode overall. |
 |
| I ship Shirogane and Narumi so hard. From the very first episode, I shipped them and he's getting turned on by her. Turns out, even the bad guys think she's hot. She can cook, fight and she's tsundere. Masaru better grow the fuck up though. Tired of him being a wimpy child. I hope in the 36 episodes this series has, he'll level up. |
| 臭い- |

I want my shitty moe/harem/isekai anime! I don't want anything intersting and stylish, goddamn it! Thank you I was going to reply him something along those lines |
| I can't help but chuckle at the thought of these puppet fights actually being similar to stand battles in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. That being said, I'm amazed this anime isn't getting enough attention, its been a while since a dark horse Shounen type anime came into a season like this one. |
 |
| This episode held my interest more than the first one, actually. The characters are still pretty basic, but I like the direction they're going in. Really hope the story picks up at some point. Animation is nice, though, so I think I'll enjoy watching this just for that if nothing else. |
::End of Transmission:: What have I been watching? Click here and find out on my viewing blog, "Vigorous Viewing" |
| I am not a fan of battle shounen but this here is watchable and using marionettes + karakuri techniques in the action scenes is pretty refreshing idea. |
| Damm this series and Shirogane are so good. It pains me how underrated this series is. |
| BRAWLERS |
| I don't know why they're teaming up with someone who wants to kill the boy rather than the kidnapper lmao |
| This episode was even better than the first one. We're learning a little more about Narumi and Shirogane. Now that Masaru has been kidnapped, I wonder how difficult it will be for the two of them to get him back? |
 |
| I've decide to put this anime on hold or plan to watch because it's really boring and not much motivation is needed, and i need to focus on Zombieland Saga, once it get's more episodes I'll binged watch it alltogether. |
| |
| I guess the father didn't have a kid with his actual wife. Lol, dunno if being kidnapped is better that being killed after seeing that creepy smile from the end. |
 |
| Some character building here. I like how Narumi is always trying to cheer Masaru up and support him. His dynamic with Shirogane is entertaining to watch. I hope Shirogane gets a bit more development too. I feel really bad for Masaru, the kid just can't catch a break. No wonder he feels miserable most of the time. I hope Shirogane and Narumi become a family for him that he can rely on and feel happy around. The upcoming battles with the puppets sound promising, I hope they don't disappoint! |
| The puppets remind me of stands from JoJo, wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of inspiration there, even if I don't find them as interesting as stands but it's more interesting that what I saw of Ushio and Tora at least. Shirogane is okay I guess but when compared to any female character from what I've seen of Ushio and Tora she's amazing. |
| Too bad Masaru got kidnapped in the end. This episode took the time to get to know the characters a little better. Narumi's 'disease' is odd, but I like the idea. Also the bathroom intrusion was unnecessary. I like how Narumi and Shirogane look like parents to Masaru when they take care of him though. Oh and it broke my heart to learn that Masaru wants to buy a grave for his deceased mother. I hope he will be able to grant this wish someday. |
 |
| I wonder if tickling someone works for Narumi's condition Gotta love Shirogane, the real waifu material |
