I'm asking about that one too. LOL
At least for now stick to things that "obvious" like Kiimura is not the "chosen one" or the only people that died in this episode are the "bad" one.

ok weird way to end it but hopefully (although pretty sure it's going to happen) it will be explained in act 3 I mean there has to be an act 3. I can't believe I forgot about honma the again he didn't/couldn't put up much of a fight against kimura but if there is an act 3 (and there will be) I think honma will be the main villian (unless somehow kimura survived). the talk about the chosen one I need to know more about that.

I'm not going to lie, I'm going to miss watching this little gem of a series. It's not good enough to be worthy of a 10, nor is it bad enough to be below a 5. I enjoyed it for what it was, and even if a third season was announced, I would be pretty happy.

Once again this season did a great job of progressing the story. Though we had less random one-week monster episodes, we delved a whole lot more into the Kagewani lore.

Here's hoping act three gets animated soon.

Even with it's power drained, the original kagewani that banba has is still massively overpowered XD

Kimura died :'(
R.I.P. sweet prince.

Honda did him in out of nowhere but another kagewani ate him and the soldiers 8/10
Wiping out all the kagewani seems impossible, they are too etched into world already.

I was really pleased to see Kimura back this season and making things happen behind the scenes. Sad to see him go but it was a nice a send off as someone like him could get. My minor quibble is the dramatic music felt like a bit much. Still, enjoyable. Very curious to see where this is going, especially since we've seen that there's more than one way for a person to become a monster.

I'm pretty sure, that was the Honma guy/monster that survived.

Season 1 was still better, but we also came to understand kagewani better. Kimura being like, "We are the Chose Ones" was annoying, but he accepted his end rather quickly as well, I guess I can't really dislike him. Honma though, he's like made of hatred. It did seem like he survived at the end, and as much as I'd welcome a third season, I wouldn't want to see Honma as the main antagonist since he's so damn frustrating to watch. Anyways, interesting way to end this, I did like how much emotions were in this episode. The bgm was on point.

I was good with watching the first season, didn't mind watching the second. They're 8-ish minute shorts, can't really complain about the details like pacing and development. Just some watchable sci-fi/fantasy/horror that I wouldn't mind a (concluding) 3rd season of. Kagewani: Ten anyone? Or would it be Kei?

It's ki-shou-ten-ketsu so the next season should be Kagewani: Ten.

I liked the previous season more but I'd love to see how this ends so third season please!

Banba killed Kimura and the evolved kagewani. The last few seconds are presumably hours later when the soldiers commanded by Kimura discover the site and try to figure out what happened. I'm not sure whether Honma survived or if it was possible for some of the smaller creatures to survive. Either way, this monster hasn't been killed for good.

The first season would be great to watch late at night with all the lights turned off, letting the tension of each encounter fill you with dread while wondering what the heck those monsters are (I think they were supposed to be animals exposed to kagewani blood). This series was a little different mostly because of the action scenes. I think I might have liked the first one just for the concept a little better; part of the reason I found these monsters so terrifying is that I had no idea what they were. And I still don't quite know what the kagewani is. One episode implied that some clan created it, but we never learn why or how. I might still be satisfied even if I never learn why this monster was created.

I liked this season better than the last one. I think sticking to a linear story line instead of an episodic forumla made the climax/ending feel less out of the blue. The developments on the actual monster/Kagewani were very interesting and I liked how Kimura had technology that allowed him to control the Kagewani. That being said the "we are the chosen ones" bit felt very corny, and him being unable to control it didn't and his"mad scientist" personality didn't help either lol.

I still was not scared during this show at any point, but I do think their were some emotional scenes that surpassed the caliber of se1. I don't mind the open ending, I feel like it's fitting for this type of series. It leaves an open invitation for se3, but if it never comes it won't feel horribly unfinished either.

Overall 7/10...i guess lol. Still leaning towards a 6, idk.
I couldn't think of anything cool to put here.

The last ep should have been a double-length special. Not much of a resolution. I'd still rate it a 4/5 though.

If there's a Season 3 (and why the hell wouldn't there be?!), I hope they'd double the length of the episodes, even if it means decreasing the number of episodes per season. 7 minutes is just too short!

Question. Sooooo, when's season 3? That was one crazy episode. And I thought episode 12 was good full of didn't expects especially in that way but damn, this episode was something.

Also, Banba got most of the Kagewani sucked out but he still seems so powerful. Is the Kagewani power replenishing withyin him since he even surpassed the original Kagewani?

So many unanswered questions... Never thought I wold ask for a season 3 when I first saw this series backed in last year 2015.

Again, I enjoyed this episode. But it doesn't prevent me to regret seeing this series digging its grave deeper into the "scientific misuse of supernatural" kind of story. Hopefully, the next wave of episodes will change that

4/5


It was a correct sequel. It ends bad guy Kimura's story, develops the Kagewani "myth" but goes further on the scientific misused of yôkai that was already uninteresting before. I must admit that Banba and some other character were "cool".

6/10

The ending was actually a bit sad. I actually felt sad for Kimamura, even though he were a totally ass. Glad the other fu**er died. LOL, he totally deserved it. ^^

Anyways, those soldiers were attacked in the end. Does that mean Kagewani is still alive? Well, it's probably alive by being in Banbai-sensei, but I highly doubt that he would attack people wildly. Also Kimamura's body were missing, so maybe this is a sign for season 3, but I really highly doubt it. Even though the ending were a bit sad, I found the ending very weird.

All in all with a strange plot and a bit boring animation since the monsters used so much time to attack, the whole anime doesn't deserve anymore than 6/10.

i take it, either Kimura or Honma (since his body was dropped into that well) became the new, evolved Kagewani?

Honestly I actually liked it for the most part. The animation is different but it's nice for a change. The story is what got me interested but I wished they could have made it a movie or tv series for a better understanding. Hope it gets a season 3 but I doubt it.

ah, it's like it will never end h-uh?
i bet my ass there was more residue of the kagewani in the well and the guy falling in there turned into the new one, unless Banba lost control finally -w-....

could be an open end, could be an end most horror has; they might all have died, some might have survived, you'll just never know ;D

Personally, I've found this series more entertaining than some full anime out there, despite being barely 8 minutes per episode and it's characteristic animation is a plus.

The 1st season was nice but I honestly liked the more linear story they went in this second one. These past episodes were quite good and built up the tension well, with good use of the sound.

Wasn't expecting the open ending though, I thought it would have ended jsut fine with Banba killing Kimura but still a good ride nonetheless.
"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

Kept me watching right to the end.
Thought they would wrap it up when the episode said The Final Battle.
But no, maybe more if they want to sometime.
