| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, they turned up the violence and blood this episode. No wonder the ghost they're facing isn't just an ordinary entity. Kinda interesting they used a black and white style art for the background storytelling. Lol, of course Kotoko would still tease Saki about her current love life. It's kinda crazy how deep this case got though. |
 |
| Internet, creating dangerous monsters since 1991. |
 |
| Other than the way the wonky ass fighting was animated, things were pretty good. Fools on the internet causing problems, creating literal monsters, because they're stupid, can't say that's a surprise. |
 |
| This is my favourite show this season. Its wild! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| It is becoming more and more interesting, Kurou admitting with a bored face that Kotoko is her new girlfriend was so funny, I love this anime |
 |
| Absolutely loved the episode! The fight was rather bloody and we also finally learned what exactly steel lady nanase is! Looking forward to see how they will deal with her and now that all 3 are together I can say that I just love the dynamic between them. |

| We learned a bit about Kurou and his family's past. His grandmother is messed up. It will be interesting to see how they will overcome Steel Lady Nanase. |
 |
| Gosh five minutes re-explaining the dude's powers yet again. Yay action! anyway neither I'm not so excited that the anime would be leaning more into immortal dude fighting with bad ghosts, but 12 minute scene of them sitting on the floor having a chat it's absolutely boring. In this case that he would be the only character who can fight, so our girl MC would be displaced like THAT nun and the thousands of irrelevant girls co-protagonists of those action rom-com novel adaptations which I also hate, yep this is a dilemma |
| Oh so that how Kuro become like that, he was part of the family of the Sakuragawa who has been doing testing of exotic meats like that of a Kudan and mermaid and he's the only successful test subject......... So is that girl from the flashback , Saki????? Next ep will be solving Nanase's murder.... |
| I expected Kuro's backstory to be revealed gradually. I guess it was never meant to be some big reveal then. So they really are dating? Now that's a surprise. I wonder how she forced him into it. |
| Kitou Akari's voice is perfect for Kotoko. I could listen her for hours. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| lol figured as much that people were actually the ones that created the ghost |
 |
| Kurou's family turned out to be super fucked up, and just how big is his extended family that they were able to do these "experiments" to find the one to bear the powers from eating those foods before they discovered Kurou? Episode was quite packed with action both Nanase and Kurou respawned lmao it was a sight to see. Internet has done it once again, goddammit they've created a faceless big titty murderer who carries a freaking steel beam now! Looking forward to next episode, wonder what they are going to replace the story with and how they are going to make it viral. |
 |
| Pretty commonly used concept, which was more or less what I expected. Though with the internet existing, you'd think these kind of monsters would be everywhere, especially with things like SCP. |
| Saki is best girl for me, I wish her and Kuro never broked up |
 |
| Kotoko casually saying to Saki "What, you haven't seen him die yet?" like it's the most natural thing was amazing lol. That is one fucked up family tho.. |
| Pretty much how Slenderman came to be...holy shit. This series is so damn good. Also, poor Kuro...dude is such a chad but is in a sad situation. Monsters are scared of him, the girl he liked dumped him and still struggles with the grips of his reality, and the girl who likes him gets on his nerves all the time. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Good episode. Kuro's family was messed up, the way his grandmother treated him after he survived was just saddening. The Internet is awesome and we all know it. |
 |
| It seems that Kuro's family was involved in some sick twisted experiments and he somehow managed to survived. However, he carries the burdened of being inhuman. |
 |
| this was a good ep, really love all the kotoko facial expressions added to my "kotoko reaction pic" folder cus of this ep. Also based that they brought up Kuro's past and how he became what he is. But fr tho looking forward to seeing how the character dynamic between Saki and Kotoko is now that Kuro is fully in the picture now ! |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| Nanase is a monster of imagination, a creation from the delusions and desires of humans. This really reminds me of Re:Creators and the creation of Altair! It's all the internet's fault! So basically Kuro's abilities are explained again, but it was nice to actually see it in action again. How his head got restored the first time was nice, but I kinda wished we could see more of that restoration as most of it happened off-screen. Great to see these 3 interact with each other. Kotoko's jealousy is nice to see! |
 |
| "Is this the first time you've seen Kuro-senpai die ?" as if anyone should be used to that lol An unexpected ending, it was much more "rational" than I would have though. |
 |
| Kuro flexing his skills against Steel Lady Nanase, and seemingly not backing down against her, while Saki's over-worryingly behaviour caused panic and Kotoko analyzing on the sides. Having the flashback in monochrome makes the manga feeling amplify multifold in the anime, it's just that good. And understanding the tradition of eating Youkai meat and essentially living immortal lives, that how the cruel life is laid bare before Kuro. The never-ending jealousy continues when the 3 gather together, but the main focus is always going to be Steel Lady Nanase, with Kotoko's smaller Youkai helping relay information. The main exposition that said monster is a "monster of the imagination" is actually quite relevant, but depends on the ones who have the full story and experienced it whole, rather than those who know and spread rumours about it. To add things further, the case of the found wiki page is what people intended it to be, not just by appearance alone. The Internet breaks all contradiction! Pretty good episode I'd say, this arc should be over by the next episode. |
 |
| Again,I have to say I haven't seen many other anime with such good character interaction.But what really made this ep for me(besides Kotoko)was the music. i love the OP/ED and the animation while those are playing,but damn,the music throughout this ep was just excellent,and fit the moments so well. |
 |
| this anime is one of the top 3 this season for sure, By the flow of things yay |
| Kotoko and her smug faces XD |
 |
| Wait that lady with the mask & split mouth is a real urban legend right? Lol interesting reference |
 |
| Man, this episode was as good as always. The last half of chapter 4 and the first half of chapter 5 were in this episode. Looks like the dialogue wars will finally begin next week. Also, this was skipped in the anime, but from what I've read here, it looks like it's an important detail that was said in the manga. For those who were like "If I believe my waifu could be real here/if you believe in any story, then you can bring the characters to life!", that's wrong. In the manga, Kotoko said people already know that video games, movies, anime, etc. are all fiction from the start, and they'll stay in their minds as fiction. As long as people's imaginations don't lead them to think that they actually might exist, it won't happen. Rumors, on the other hand, can either be real or fake without any confirmation. They have the power to make people think that they actually exist. This is why fictional characters can't be real, but these types of spectres can. She also mentioned the possibility that all Yokai and ghosts are all monsters from the imagination that came from stories centuries ago. KANLen09 said: Pretty good episode I'd say, this arc should be over by the next episode. Yeahhhhh... no. The dialogue will take so long that even I can say the arc might close up with the final episode. It would have to remove so many details to let this arc end in the next episode or even the next 3 episodes. |

| had no idea Kuro-san was so old. would be interesting to see what he got up to before now in the present day. |
 |
| Shame that Kuro got worn down into agreeing that shrimp is his girlfriend. She works much better as cheeky little sister type rather than actual romantic interest. Despite her fear Saki still seems like a better fit. As for the plot (the plot plot, not PLOT plot), it was rather predictable, so without messed up family backstory and head smashing there wouldn't be much in this art. Still, this show is probably more about character chemistry than story. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
saifors said: So according to this, in the world of this show things like Slenderman, the SCP's, Smiledog, Jeff the killer, Ben drowned, Sonic.exe and all the other creepypastas are real monsters that they might have to deal with. Sorry, Kuono and Kotko, our bad. Now we need to create some hero who will save the world. xD |

(Finished) - If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (Finished) - Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater (Finished) |
| It felt like this episode ended in like 5 mins, remarkable for a show where "nothing happens" and it is mostly dialogue, hate self insert MC but I think Kuro wasn't insufferable like most of them are, I liked that little bit when he was all upset when he was told he is seen hideous to youkai haha, I hope there are more moments like that giving him an actual personality. |
| kotoko probably the best waifu seasonal for this season with nero ofcourse !! |
| I really do love the chemistry between kuro and kotoko but sometimes it’s hard to feel like romance???? It feels more like a banter/friendship type, I cannot feel anything from kuro |
| Lol Kotoko just never stop being adorable especially when she show her jealousy.. |
 |
tavcat said: Just when mc & fmc in relationship? I never hear mc accepted fmc confession... am I missing something? There is 2 years time skip before this arc, it's probably being revealed later like using flashback or smt.. |
|
| Kurou could have been more badass in the fight if he learned a martial art or something. But, i guess i was asking for too much. Anyway, i guess the pieces have started to come together and this case is going to be over soon. I hope we get to see nanase's face or smth. It's poor of her to not have a face :( |
  Wandering Witch is the best light novel ever! |
