Just gonna create a page just for this (until an official page comes around), and feel free to add in theories on where the anime could go in the 2nd half.

As expected, it's a recap, covering these events from Emma, Ray and Norman's POV:
- Season 1's end cards of burning Grace Field House (after Norman went away) and escaping with majority of the kids (except Phil who stayed with Sister Isabella)
- Everything else seen in Season 2 thus far, with the timeskips intact.

By this point, you shouldn't be surprised that there's nothing new to be found in recaps.

Watching this reminds me of how much I love this series, and even though it isn't following the manga (which I haven't finished yet), I still think that it's gonna end good.

what's the point of this recap episode and reminding us what happened in season 1? So we can remember how good season 1 is and in comparison how crappy s2 is?

Recap is recap nothing much to write about. As for how the rest of the six episodes will go welp it's gonna adapt from the manga in a weird anime original way obviously.

Mannnn I was looking forward to this but it’s just a recap..

Can’t wait for the next episode! I’m kind of disappointed with Emma and Ray’s reaction to Norman coming back.. it seemed pretty fake/forced. I hope they can explain Norman’s story in a way that doesn’t seem forced for a happy ending, otherwise this season is pretty much ruined..

They’ve obviously done a recap because they’re stressing out over us manga fans fuming over goldy pond being scrapped. Like...it even recaps last episode like...uh okay

I wish they just recapped what happened between ep 4 and 5. There must've been a time skip because I am lost as to how they went from being chased in the forest to living in a demon town.

What an asspull. Recap episodes are the thing I hate the most about anime. I mean if its a kid show I understand. But if a show is rated 17+ you could at least treat your audience like adults.

This season will have 11 episodes, does this crappy recap episode counts as 1 episode "less" or will it not count at all?

Seriously, did we need a recap with only 11 episodes?

Because we needed a recap, right?
Literally nothing has happened; talk about padding for time. I haven't read the manga but jesus christ is it even possible that i could get more heated(?) lmao.

This show blows.

I just have so many questions, but they can basically be summed up as why? Like, why anime-original? Is it even anime original or are we gonna pick back up after just skipping so much? And why skip so much? Did the mangaka not like it? Or are they rushing the series? Are they trying to conclude the entire show this series? Why, when so many people love it? And why this recap? Is it covid related, did they have issues and have to cut down the episode count so they put in a recap? And if not, why the hell do they have the time for a recap (and furthermore a lot of what I call ‘slice of life’ scenes like scenes of them catching the fish, general life in the shelter etc...) but they don’t have time to include anything from the, what, 50+ chapters skipped? If it really is an issue or time or wanting to cut the series to make it shorter, they could have just cut out bits from the arc, not the entire arc.
If anything, this recap just highlighted a lot of discrepancies I have. Like it just doesn’t make sense character and plot wise, with the group being so proactive and pushing forward yet you want me to believe after the raid of the shelter, they just found this place and, what, lay low?? Just scraped by in this temple for how long without trying to push for anything?? It just doesn’t sit right with me.

I've been watching weekly and it's only been a month... Why the hell do we need a recap ep? That's only an hour and a half of runtime. Norman's story of how he escaped better be good. Otherwise I'm dropping this show fr. It might not even get a 3rd season at this rate. And skipping a whole arc? Sheesh

Lol. Recapping after 17 episodes. As if the previous season show recap was not enough to be remember for me. Tpn used the same shit way again to fill the blank spot of their schedules. Smh.

The manga explains it better.

But they basically went on a long expedition or something silly like that and time skip, said the writers, happened.
