| Manga aside, this episode was enjoyable on it's own. Last episode had me scared, but now I'm excited to see where the anime story line is going. |
| Tired, always tired! |
| I respect the author wanting to deviate from the original story through this follow-up of the previous adaptation, if so they wish, but the execution so far has been fairly underwhelming. Best of luck to the team handling this. |
| I knew Norman was alive but I never expected to see him so soon. I feel kinda sad for the two demons tho. I feel like everyone's going to hate me for saying this but... I enjoy this anime a lot. Maybe manga was better idk, but as an anime-only, I still think it's decent. It's not painful like TG root A. That aside, I still want to know how the heck did they manage to get away from all the pursuers last ep. |

| The kids who got caught failed... successfully... |
| there are som many things I still like about the changes, but at the same time it feels so awkardly fast paced. |
| :v |
| This is... really, really weird to watch, and I'd imagine it's the same for anyone else who's read the manga Literally a completely different story now. Like nothing in this episode has anything to do with the manga's story. That's not to say it's automatically trash or anything but... differences aside, this feels suuuuper fast paced in comparison. I mean really, Norman here and now? That's just so random lol |
  |
| i never thought they were gonna skip so much content, what's the point then? |
| What a fantastic idea to skip the second best arc of the manga! |
| Damn, they literally skipped the best arc in this series. Wonder how they'll end this anime and whether it'll be good or not. It kind of sucks that they skipped that arc because it makes the whole "You're a human in demon land, don't expect things to be easy". Seeing them starve is incomparable to how the Goldy Pond arc made me feel and how it made the story feel like a Horror and not water down version of Horror. |

| As someone who read the manga before this season and really liked it, I gotta say,"what's with these changes?" They make everything feel less meaningful. Even making Emma have a moment of emoness felt out of character for me. She's the hopelessly hopeful one. |

Sigmar-Unberogen said: @Sxsh1xxl This reveal was so much more strong in manga :( @Filmlord - Most of us, manga readers, expected some changes here and there, but this season took a very different path. They skipped like 60-70% of the remaining story, and I'm afraid they'll compress the remaining 15% (100-70-15% of the first season) in just 5 episodes!!! Considering how ep6 is a RECAP! This is so very sad, it's like they're rushing the story for the sake of getting rid of it as quickly as possible. Makes you wonder why they even bothered to make a second season with such attitude! https://twitter.com/animetv_jp/status/1357310033713856520 |

Filmlord said: Duuuuuuuude, seriously!?!? That's bad. Would you recommend I should just go read the manga at this point? Definitely read the manga (and in my opinion even the manga ends up feeling rushed but it's nothing like this disaster). |
| I honestly don't mind them going anime original, but can they at least make the characters STAY IN CHARACTER!?? Like Emma. There's no way in hell she'd let the kids go out, not to mention allow them fuck around in the forest while yelling at the TOP OF THEIR DAMN LUNGS. And Ray didn't stop or warn them?? And they spent a whole year in that place and Emma is still uncertain about their situation? She's not the type to moan and berate herself like that. She'd keep pushing herself. And after finding that old man demon in their hideout, they didn't think "oh shit a demon has entered thank god he's blind so he didn't see us perhaps it's time to get the HELL out of here incase other NOT BLIND demons stumble into our hideout???" And no to mention last episode. Emma, who cares so much about her family, would willingly let three of them trying the food for poison!??? That's NOT Emma! That's an imposter! It's almost as if CW cuts away all the amazing Emma scenes just so they can show she can't do jack shit without Norman's help. We FINALLY have an amazing female shounen protagonist they just had to cut out so many great arcs that shows how amazing and independent and strong Emma is and added anime original scenes that shows her to be an idiot who's totally useless without the hero (Norman)'s help. Also, two short human kids can run faster than grown ass demons with long ass legs!? And the demons only smelled humans when a wind blew past? Oh, so you're telling me during this entire year Emma and her gang are in the forest and town gathering food, no wind blew past at all?? utter trash, CW. |

| tags because i might talk about manga spoilers |
| It was okay I guess. I'm just really disappointed with the anime going original, and seeing it skip one of the manga's best arcs hurt. Everything felt rushed, and even the big reveal at the end which was supposed to make me feel happy just made me feel disappointed with how rushed this season is. |
| This is probably the first episode in the series I'll give it less than a 4/5 for. As an anime-only, it felt very rushed. A year-long time skip. No explanation as to what happened in between, how the kids got by, how they figured out how to blend in with their enemies. Disappointing. I thought the demon family that were introduced in this episode would have had more of an impact on the story given they were afforded plenty of screen time early on, but two of them were just brutally murdered at the end, practically handing their other two ill relatives a death sentence. This was after Emma made a point of stating to the other kids that demons have families as well. Then we have the Naruto style chase scenes across the roof where Emma/Ray suddenly figure out to use chakra to increase jumping speed and power. Ultimately, it was all just a play to help set-up Norman's re-introduction, which felt very underwhelming at the end. I hope some of these concerns are addressed in a couple of weeks, but I very much doubt it. S1 felt like it had a structure, a polish and a plan throughout. This just feels a bit like they're playing it by ear as they produce each episode. |
sailor_maggie said: honestly I hated it and it made me angry I don't like the direction that they are taking it in and I don't get why they skipped a whole year and left out important characters to the plot i agree, as much as i tried to enjoy it and ignore the manga, it honestly sucked. plus the big reveal at the end? absolutely no tension, and it happened way too soon. they could've made it more dramatic and memorable. |
| i'm sorry this is wayyyy too rushed like don't go skipping whole ass arcs norman is my favorite but it just he came too soon for this season and was really anticlimactic they really just jumped a year forward... |

| I'm so confused I can't tell if they're switching to exclusively anime original content or if they actually just skipped almost two seasons worth of manga content. I mean personally I'm of the opinion the manga only went down hill after they escaped the orphanage but still I doubt they can do better with original content and the battle against the mercenaries they skipped (same goes for some of the forest/base stuff they rushed through) was most of the only good stuff left. Very disappointing, scaring me with Tokyo Ghoul Re Season 2 vibes. |
sogegesoge said: His character was particularly engaging in the Goldy Pond arc, yes, though I feel like he always had an interesting flair. It's known that the manga's ending had mixed reviews, we'll have to wait and see what the author intends to do and how the studio carries out this different approach.kunieda said: well, his ending role is quite cringy though, but still, his goldy pond part is pretty dope. dunno what cloverworks trying to do anymore..Lewis is a fan favourite character I'm actually a little bummed about possibly not even getting a glimpse of, ngl. |
| that's it, i have no hope anymore for this show |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| Apparently CloverWorks skipped a handful of chapters. Guess it's time to take a trip to the manga. |
 |
| That is great, so after 1 year, Emna and Ray are now able to jump that pit around the farm without ropes or anything! So legit!  |
 |
| This entire episode, once again, felt like filler. Kids spend the entire episode looking for food, bruh. |
