| monkima ook ook. |
| Well, the shelter's gone now. Poor kids can't even catch a break. And looks like Mumma is going back to the shelter to retrieve all kids back. Idk what those demons told her, maybe something about Ray but who knows. We'll know eventually. |
 |
| As an anime-only, I'm led to believe that they've cut out some characters, and shortened an arc right down which takes place in the shelter? Correct? In any case, I'm still enjoying the series, and it was good to see what looked like Isabella(?) again. On the verge of being killed, and then being offered a rather tasty out. Attackonramen said: Still can’t believe the cut the entire Goldy pond arc (T ^ T) I mean, they’ve completely changed everything. The first season was already so disappointing for me, but now... it just got worse! You're kidding right? I thought the 1st season was fantastic. One of the best anime I'd seen over the last few years. |
| Ok, them leaving the shelter so fast was weird, but I can forgive that. Why did they make Isabella evil again? She had such a great sendoff in season 1 and now they just ruined her character... |
| HOLY. FRIGGING. YIKES. They changed so much to the point where it's turned into a totally different storyline altogether, and not in a good way at all. Also, the anime CONTINUES to be tone-deaf as hell with a perplexing lack of proper transitions and befitting BG music, and boy, how silly it is that the children managed to get away with SO MUCH SHIT (I know they're smart as hell, but cmon, man...). This is an inevitable trainwreck to nowhere fast. |
 |
| Hmm a recording huh twas expected. But it looks like Minerva was someone who found his conscience after finding out the truth. Despite the revelation its nice to see them renew their determination by starting building a foundation from which to start from. But the enemy sure struck faster than expected. Its unfortunate that they were forced to flee the shelter after forging such a long path there. At the same time looks like a old enemy is being sent to bring them back as well. Someone that knows them quite well. |

| Meh, i'm glad i read the manga |
 |
| Not a faithful adaptation, but so far the story makes sense. I don't mind anime-original plot as long as it doesn't make characters OOC, going against already set rules, going against the author's intention regarding the direction of the story, and/or making it so the development doesn't make sense. So far, they've cut out a lot of content and pretty much skipped straight to season 3/4 content. It's not faithful but it still makes sense. Let's hope it doesn't get worse. |
| well the manga ending sucked anyway, they give the author another chance to fix it, let's see what will happen |
 |
Still no Yuugo. Please excuse me while i'm crying for the million time |
 |
| it's exciting as a manga reader to see what an alternate plot may look like seeing as i wasn't a big fan of the ending! that is if it's done well. i was really disappointed and it just seemed like a whole lotta nothing took place. we don't want the cute montages of their family, that's what season one was for. |

| Ohh, so this adaptation really took a different route :o I'll probably read the manga after this season. BTW, as an anime only, I actually enjoyed this episode. |

| he's so so so so fine |
expired_0 said: Seeing how everybody is disappointed in how the anime is straying away from the manga, should I give the manga a go? Emm even if the anime went original from this point, the manga from chapter 70 starts getting boring (the chapters that should be adapted in this season) I am really happy that they are changing things this season because I just wanna know what's going on. |

| How the hell did those soldiers find the hideout that quickly? It seems like they must've already known about it but I'm not sure how. Things just got 10x worse for the kids because I'm pretty sure Isabel is the only person who could catch the kids, she did raise them after all. |

| i havent even watched the episode but reading the forum |

| Introduced differently, we shall see. If you see the names on the wall inside of the room, then it's a chance of foreshadowing. |

| At least we know Mister existed in the anime, since the wall with names is there and the diary entries resemble things he would say. I am worried since the diary said "I will also pursue the human world" (something along those lines). Did he try to leave and died outside? Or will he appear later on? I'm hoping the latter is true. |
Tiagura said: You gotta be kidding me and I hope you are sarcastic. This was the author's own idea and request since they didn't like how the manga turned out."Ah look, this manga is so popular. Let's make an anime out of it." "I got a genius idea! let's make an anime original cause we know we can make a better job than the author himself, right?!" "And to do so, let's bring the author that we think sucks at writing to write our original, Subarashii!!" I really don't understand how these anime studio function on a daily basis! |

| They are taking this in an interesting direction. Having the kids’ safe spot being discovered before they could come up with plan puts them at a huge disadvantage in hostile territory. Plus, with Isabella on the attack, I am interested to see where they go from here. |
| Disapointed ngl, the only thing that would need anime original was the end of the manga, not Goldy Pond, omg, it was one of the best things the manga had, and they decided to go full original, I can't with this shit, the quality is good, but the story will be trash. |

Af071006 said: I AM BEYOND FURIOUS RIGHT NOW. THEY CUT OUT THR ENTIRE GOLDY POND ARC FROM THE ANIME. THE GOLDY POND ARC WAS THE BEST AND MOST EMOTIONAL AND IT INTRODUCED MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS. CLOVERWORKS CUT YUUGO FROM THE MANGA AND WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN ST THE END SINCE THEY WERENT ABLE TO MEET THR DEMONS AT GOLDY POND??? also besides the fact that they are COMPLETELY deviating from the manga, this series has felt so rushed so far but spends the majority of episodes focusing on trivial things. just read the manga everyone, it's so much better and more emotional. goldy pound is overrated. battle royale and gantz did manhunting arcs way better. |

SnowPox said: I really don't understand why manga readers are mad about this. Sure, they skipped/cut a lot of content (whether good or bad) but maybe better things will be added later. One episode is not enough to judge whether season 2 going anime-original was a good idea or not. as a manga reader, I have mixed feelings. yes, they cut lot of great things I liked in the manga and thats infuriating, but at the same time, the anime is going in such a wierd and unpredictable direction Im not actualy bored by it. |
| :v |
| another great episode. the kids got to enjoy the shelter for like a month before things turned bad. as always, Rossi (derpy! Norman) was cute and amusing. i shouldn't have been surprised, but i was SO happy the kids had an escape plan in preparation for an attack/emergency. one compliant/confusion i had though was about the HELP room. no one even discussed it... |
| When I revisited the manga after last week's episode I realized, Yuugo was supposed to show up based on the events that had occurred. I didn't know yet that the anime was going original, so I figured it was no big deal, maybe they were rearranging some scenes to introduce him this week. Clearly I was mistaken. It's just so ridiculous that they would be doing an original story when they literally have a completely finished source material to work with. Even with the mangaka's supervision, why would the mangaka also go for an original route rather than wanting to see what they poured so much blood sweat and tears into be brought to life and adapted as accurately as possible? These next couple arcs were pretty good and occurred before the manga really fell off, so I was looking forward to seeing them animated. It's unfortunate that this is the path they're choosing to take. I'll still maintain cautious optimism moving forward though, I don't want to completely write off this season as "shit" yet based just off of this episode. Who knows, maybe some of the skipped content/characters will possibly be introduced later on in a different way.... |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
shane_nichols said: funny how you poor little thing who's never experienced the greatness that is the manga arcs and manga characters are laughing at people who have. You perfectly depicted the Fox and the Grapes from Aesop's fable :)Hahahaha. Glad I'm an anime only. Sucks for you manga reader XD |
| Isn’t this post called “Episode 4 discussion”? Barely anybody is talking about the episode itself. Why are manga-readers venting in this thread? If what you have to say has nothing to do with the episode itself then why are you posting it in this thread 🤔 —————————— One thing I hate about this show is how the characters talk so loud. No wonder their hideout was found, everybody in the whole goddamn demon world could hear you. I wish they would’ve talked more about help written on the walls, seems like they just shrugged it off. |
| I haven”t read the manga unlike a lot of these replies so my opinion probably doesn’t mean much but I thought this episode was great, definitely the best so far and i’m excited to see where it goes. |
| clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist. |
| i really enjoyed episode 4! i really hope it stays this good! |
| What the hell have they done to the best arc in TPN!?!? Not only did they cut who had a REALLY good character arc (and was a wholesome character overall) they also cut the arcs. The plot armour really shows now as not much character development will happen by the looks of it -_- This is a tragedy like the manhwa adaptations of Tower of God, the God of High School and Noblesse. If it was an anime original season, they could've done more world building, but now they've just taken a major hit. I really don't see much can be salvaged from this, but I'll wait and see. Just calling it like all the other manga-readers though, this series is going even more downhill than the manga itself (RIP) The pacing was really bad this episode, and it was just not as engaging as a world building anime could be Ardis160 said: Dukino said: Is it so hard to be excited about what could possibly come from the manga author getting to rework their OWN STORY? Yes it is, since the manga became terrible not so long after the arc that they've just skipped. Lets just hope we get a better ending than the manga, that's all I wish for now TT.TT |
