Theres no saving this series now. Completely fucked. Score should be a 6. And shame on the writer for allowing this. Absolute garbage. what do u think he could do, writers are known for having no say |

| @Filmlord Duuuuuuuude, seriously!?!? That's bad. Would you recommend I should just go read the manga at this point? |
| Hmm so this is the town of this age huh. Its interesting hearing the regular demon's views on recent events. While its nice to see that they managed to escape and reach safety looks like supply's in a tough spot. Nice disguises though. The scenes at the temple though sure introduced some excellent tension. But it was the chase that clinched the crown for that in this ep. Overall an pretty interesting ep that did an excellent job at expanding upon the world via its look into how the demons lived within society and the shared worries that they have for their families as well. But the revelation in the end sure was surprising indeed. |

| Norman is back, I didn't expect to see him again. |
 |
| @Filmlord Okydoky, cool, I'll give it a read then, I was originally just planning to read it from where season 1 left off, but since you've said there was some stuff missing there I'll read it from the beginning. Thanks man 👍🤘 Have a good read, friend! |
Sigmar-Unberogen said: Episode 6 isn't a recap. They'll air a special episode next week and air episode 6 the week after that, stop spreading wrong info.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! |

| OMG THEY SKIPPED TO THE DEMON SOCIETY PART?! Okay, so the good thing is we got to see how the demons interact. However, there’s SOOOOO much content that has been skipped- around 65%. Why is their only a 6 month time skip? By this point there’s was 2 years go by which made the kids combat skills and survival skills more justified. Did you see how the group ran away from the demons then cutaways to them finding a safe spot? Plot armour at its finest. Do anime only watchers care that Norman is back? Because to me it’s too fast paced and should have been done in a later date like the manga. What was the “HELP!” in the room? Who was behind the soldiers who raided the shelter? What happened to William Minerva? Are we gonna find out? NOPE! Manga readers know tho. I’m trying to comprehend why the author wanted to change the story and produce a worse one, but it’s not making any sense. |

| I can't believe he's still alive... but how?! And how is he free? That last scene was so intense and I thought Emma and Ray were screwed. I'm guessing the demon who was following Gilda, Don and the boys wasn't a real demon too. Fantastic episode overall, but the time skip was a bit of a disappointment cause the first few months that the kids try to survive outside of the house seemed like a significant part of the story; they'd learn about the world and we'd learn with them. It would build up the dread and horror of their bleak futures and add that tense horror element the 1st season had. |

| You can kiss the Goldy Pond Arc goodbye, this is the LAST time I will be saying this. Midway into the Cuvitidala Arc, and the Grace Field escapee children are still vulnerable at every point as they don demon gear and walk around aimlessly. The demons though still in search of fresh human meat...wonder how long they have to starve for. Even the scene where the actual demons were chasing the children felt so bland, no semblance of tragic suspension. [b]They should've nailed Norman's scene, but...by now, we all should have a common understanding of where this could go. At the rate of the original scenes, for every 23 mins worth of episode, I could foresee a volume's worth of content being shrunk down to only cover the main points whilst everything else is anime-original. |

| Thoma and Lannion are insufferable and annyoing. The second they wanted to join, I just knew they would screw everything up ._. |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| Norman's return was soooo bland. Emma helping the old man made me smile though |
 |
| As an anime-only, I really don't have any issues with the pacing or how the story is going. Honestly, this is one of the reasons why I don't read the manga before watching its anime adaptation: 1. Spoilers. 2. Raised expectations. |
| Ain't they gonna explain what happened between the base being raided and wherever they're at now?? This is the 2nd time they're bsing themselves a way through. How did they get there, where did they find it, how long did they travel to find the demon city, what happened in-between then and 6 months ago. I get that covid's making it hard to get work done but I'd like some answers. Heard something about a "recap episode" so it's to hope that they put in that info over there, and don't rush through w/e this arc is cause of time issues. Note: I haven't read the manga. I like Emma's new look and the return of their old friend. I'm surprised he's looking this good seeing how I seen some stuff... then again they may just act like that stuff never happened and said character is OK now. I was hoping that with the bad feedback the manga end got that they'd choose to rewrite certain parts to make them more appealing but it's now looking as if they're gonna keep jumping through the story to cover as much ground as they can before getting cancelled. |
 |
| even as an anime-only, this feels like they skipped a ton of important stuff they went from finding the shelter, to the shelter getting attacked, to escaping the shelter, to living in a demon town undercover, to norman being back all in 3 episodes??? i love norman, but I'm not even excited for his return, everything is so rushed and confusing |

| Damn, the time skip is real. When I started the episode, I was like "I must have missed an episode, it's weird". They're pacing the show way too fast. It's kinda disapointing. They're just racing to finish the story. |

Colin333333 said: The soldiers got eaten by that demon monsterIt felt like I skipped a bunch of episodes when I started this one... I was expecting it to start with them escaping the soldiers in the forest but nope, it just skips 6 months ahead and doesn’t explain anything that happened. I’m gonna read the manga at some point since I heard it’s a lot better than the anime, at least season 2 |
| well I don't care too much about the anime or the manga, I didn't like the story in the manga after they escape anyway, and the first reason that the author didn't kill norman of course, there are other reasons can't say right now, anyway if there are fans for the manga it's okay you can go hug Tokyo Ghoul fans they suffered the same lol |
 |
| This is beyond being redeemable, what the fuck is Shirai thinking? Already ruined the manga, now it's time for the anime to be ruined? welp. Oh well, brace yourselves, we up for a very shitty ride. |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| OK like I am losing my interest quickly in this show since it just goes on and on about how they are finding death on every corner yet they never die at all even if they screw up big time they are just somehow lucky enough to survive and sure enough the biggest let down was when we found out that Norman was not dead at all .. like how could anyone die in this show right... man this is like watching porn without any sex.. it is just pointless. |
| I don't understand. Why did they waste a year in this village? How does this further their goal of escaping? |
| その目だれの目？ |
| I hear that they are and have deviated from the manga. I am an Anime-only so it seems okay for me. But, if the original Mangaka is involved in this, maybe it's for the better? With the skipped content (from what I've heard), maybe they show it in some form of flashback? We see that even demons have problems of their own with food shortage. That chase scene was so intense. NORMAN IS BACK!!!@!W!O (although I knew they wouldn't kill him back in season one). He appears to be with some tall people - likely to be demons? Next week is a recap, maybe it won't count towards the 11 episode length but be separate? |

| how did ray get his ear back? or was it an animation mistake? |
 |
| so now it's clear that the anime is a totally different story than the manga. I'm dissapointed but now we just have to see what will be the story |
| So is everything from this ep completely anime original? |
| Honestly forgot this shit even came out today. Time to watch and be disappointed again. Ok, what the absolute fuck is this dog shit? So this pretty much confirms that Goldy Pond is going to be skipped. Then on top of that, the second best moment of the manga which is the reunion with Norman and him being built up as an antagonist is completely gone here. There’s no long build up or search for Minerva and the other clues. Idk what happened to the author after like late 2018, but he ain’t been the same since. Idk if it was writer block or what, but if this is his idea of rectifying the mistakes he made in the manga, he’s extremely mistaken. On top of that, next week is a recap episode. So only 10 actual episodes this season. To say I’m angry isn’t an accurate statement. This is a slap in the face to the fans. How this is at an 8 is beyond me. |
