THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Felt more like a buildup episode, with more planning from the government.

Kei's observation skills is somewhat noticeable while I find him to matured quite a bit in these latest episode, much more than I had expected and became more cunning. Not much action but I'm fine with it. They are building up for bigger events to come together and looking forward to that. Kei has to think long and hard about his future from here.

Same boring, complex lecture about "IBM". So it's not just Kei's theory about 72 hours in solitary confinement. He really did bring some magazine to keep Kou's sanity in normal level.
Damn, that face looks messed up. Boo! I'm successfully scared you, am I? LOL

That old guy must have some great smell(or smell fetish) if he can tell Kei isn't that old lady's grandson from smell. I have to applaud Kei (and Mamoru Miyano) for that incredible act he put on to convince the old guys he's the real thing. (Even if he's not)

More discussion on Tosaki's side about the ajin and more about their IBM. Lol at Kei sucking up to the men who are suspicious of him. A bit disappointed it didn't carry on to the next scene, but it was an okay episode.

Set up episode and a lot of filler, especially on the Kei side.
Next episode should have the most memorable moment in the Ajin series, brace for impact.

Still no information about Kai? Was he really just a plot tool?

To be honest I have no idea where this is going. Does Kei intend to just live in peace in that town? Does he intend to keep that boy in the truck forever, too? I mean I'm on his side when it comes to his current situation. There is no way they could beat Satou and his followers with just 2 people while still fighting off the government. But he has to do anything. This can't just be three more episodes of Kei wandering around the area...

Although I have to admit he could pull it of. He showed nice acting when he convinced those two guys that he isn't a trouble maker. Right now there are no signs that he has to join the battle with Satou and the government.

One thing had me a bit irritated though. When they talked about the black ghosts there was that point that they can't be summoned more than 1-2 times a day and not for a very long time either. But hasn't Kei summoned them more often than that at least if not even for longer periods of time, too?

Nice to know more about IBM's and they seem to not work well when its raining.
Lol Kei's IBM doing the opposite of what he tells it to do.

Some of the villagers getting suspicious of Kei.
Kei is really good at telling a sob story and he is good at observing people.
Even bribing them with a little alcohol.

Satou getting ready to execute his plan.

The key visual for the second movie has Kai in it, so he'll show up.

Yes Kei intends to live in peace because that's the type of life he wanted, a normal one. But what do you suppose Kei was doing as he wondered around the forest, taking notes? He's most likely preparing for whenever he might be in danger and have to escape. I doubt even Kei thinks that he's going to be safe there forever.

Congrats, you've noticed something about Kei and his IBM! While they know Ogura knows quite a lot about IBMs, he most likely doesn't know everything. An outlier would not be surprising.
----------------------------------

Lots of anime original scenes in this episode, I liked them. Like Kou being super angry, lol. And Kei's IBM is so rebellious. They've definitely added some comedy :)

I think Kei actually cried though in the manga when he was apologizing? Also some other changes, we'll see how it goes.

Great episode. Not a lot happened but I enjoyed seeing the Tosaki plot progress, and Kei's acting was nearly as high tier as Satou's.

The way Kei acted all innocent in front of the gramps felt similar to how Satou conned Kei when they initially first met.
Satou would be proud to know that Kei is not a complete failure in his eyes.

I think as superior officer to inferior officer, I completely agree. however their interests and methods to get there are skewed from one another.

There will probably be one more season, as there are going to be four movies, and the first two movies cover this season's material.

I don't know if it's because of Mamoru's sketchy voice, but I never would have fell for Kei's act.

^^I agree, I was getting those vibes that things will be changed, but if so, I'm really disappointed. That scene in the manga was so hype and epic in a horrible and brutal way.

And I laughed at that Mamoru's sketchy voice comment. By now I always expect his characters to be some sort of psychos or something, so yeah, even though his performance as innocent grandson was impressive, it sounded suspicious, cause well.. it is Mamoru. :D There's a reason I love him. <3

Overall epic episode and I'm so hyped for the last episodes and I'm really hoping they don't change things...

Weakest episode so far.
Kei is getting the trust of others on the village and still harsh treatment for Kou.
The next episode title is cool! "Now then, It's Showtime!"

Kinda low-budgety and still episode, production values had to be really low this time.

And Kei is blatantly bad liar. Just about anyone could see through his lies.
