| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that wasn't so hard. They managed to get back Tosaki although he didn't seem too happy about it.. Satou is still initiating his plan while I think the buildup is still thrilling. I just love how Satou didn't give a shit about those politicians. |
 |
| I didn't expect another opening. I'm actually really liking this one compared to the first one. It really gets me hyped for whatever comes next. It felt like the only reason the Americans existed was to stop Kei from interfering with Satou's plan. Mixed feelings for Izumi pulling out an IBM despite reaching her limit. Does this mean her limit has increased for the rest of the season? The build up towards the end was really good. Preview is also looking really hype. Tanaka really didn't seem too impressed with Satou's actions. For a brief moment he was looking really excited. It seems he actually wants to make a better world for Ajins. Tanaka really did look happy for a few seconds.  |

| Wow? a new opening? ugh though I'm still in love with the first season op.. The first half storytelling felt weird. Crap Tosaki looks fine even after that woman with American guy give him medicine in such dosage. Haha as expected that woman is going to betray her master. Poor nakano. He didn't really have a much roles or time even to babbling around kek I'm dying.. |
We did this every day that summer. There wasn’t a day we missed.  "I love you, air conditioner." |
| Nice episode. New OP song is alright. Izumi & the others managing to rescue Tosaki. American guy is dead. Hated that guy & the American Lady is free. The minister is dead, but Kei's group has got another chance to take down Satou. Hmm Anti-Ajin Special Forces. Lets see how they do. Next episode looks crazy. |

This was such a cool scene.  I knew Tosaki wouldn't be grateful to Izumi for saving him, but man he was really pissed. I thought he was gonna hit her in the car.  |

| Preview makes me hyped once again! Really good episode. I didn't expect a new OP, but I think I'm liking this one a little bit more than the previous one. I'm glad Almeida got killed by Myers. What a god awful person he was. |
  |
| damn izumi looked so cute when tosaki was blaming her ^^ So the preview looks pretty nice. Finally interaction with satou again |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| REFORMED hahaha, they having fun with the opening though Kei's Ajin great as always gah, this is so nasty for Tosaki's group and any neutral figures, Satou and the Japanese government releasing weapons of mass destruction [?] |
  |
| New OP sounds good. Tosaki wasn't too happy about being rescued. The minister is dead because of the rescue. The American woman finally killed the American guy. She couldn't stand him anyone. Next episode looks like things are going to get very crazy. |
 |
| That blonde American is either gonna never show up again for rest of series or be an ally. |
| At this point I can safely say that this series isn't anymore what we used to call Ajin. It is completely different in way it is presented, characters have changed drastically and the whole world as it is presented feels different. While before Ajin focussed on the larger picture and didn't waste time in meaningless conversations as well as defining characters through their actions and not just by cheap back stories and the pretentious words they say they now have come to the latter in both cases. Its really disappointing to see a series for which the second part started promising just throw away all the potential it has. Yeah I'm biased since I did read the manga but its just way better than the anime at this point. |
| Oh no, i don't have a signature! What am i gonna do? |
| They saved Tosaki. Anti-Ajins.. well this sounds dangerous. |
 |
| Nagai diverts the Americans into another street to cut them out. I liked how Izumi didn't shoot the American ajin, she shot the American dude because he was talking too much trash. The female ajin is now free from the lousy American. Thanks to them going off to save Tosaki, they lose their only chance to kill Satou. But now Satou has told everyone where and when he'll be attacking. The government just make the anti-ajin squad legal. It appears that Satou is hiding something from the rest of the ajins. His True intentions probably. Satou probably has no interest in getting ajins their rights, he's interested in massacre only. Now Satou will be clashing with Nagai or the anti-ajin squad. It looks like some serious shit is going to happen next week. |
| They saved Tosaki and glad that american agent is dead |
 |
| new opening omg 😲 Satou going all out omg |
| Thank goodness that American jackass is dead. I'm sure that must have felt really good for Myers. Based on the preview, the next episode looks super hype and very crazy. I noticed Satou opened his eyes in the preview......when the dude who never opens his eyes, opens his eyes, you know shit will hit the fan. |
| 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. |
| Another great episode! Izumi was a bad ass and a total cutie! She is too put for this world! |
| Izumi "taught" Myers to get a new life, just like she used to. And see how Tosaki can be that serious about his plan. No wonder he's that pissed. Oh well, what's done is done. |

| Very good episode. The IBM squatting on the Stop sign and throwing at the American car was so damn cool. I'm glad that the American dude is dead and killed by the woman no less. Tosaki was so mad. :o Satou divulges his plan to public to make the use of his secret weapon more impactful, Anti Ajin Force is formed, Things are getting real interesting now. Next episode looks great. |
 |
| Good riddance to that male American agent, and other than that this was fairly decent as far as set up episodes go. A new opening was a surprise, even if I'm not especially fond of this one either. |
MysteriousBanana said: That being said, what characters do you feel are been changed drastically from the manga? From my perspective they're all still the same, only the actions they've taken differ. As for the characters newly introduced in this season there isn't much to say since there has been still to little about them to say they changed much so about them its just hunches I can't really back by any good argument. As for characters like Kei it however is differently. Though he seems to have lost the focus of the series which is kinda a shame since he is actually the most interesting of the whole bunch. While in the first season and the start of the second there is still his conflict with his own views and the views of others. He is mostly thinking logical and putting aside his emotions or sympathy while doubting everything around him. Especially after joining up with Tousaki he is especially on edge since he is surrounded by enemies who he has to cooperate with. While it is portrayed in the series through him losing control of his IBM because despite him being human he hates most of them. However in the next episodes he entirely loses such a conflict and gaining control over his IBM which he hasn't been able to control other than through his IBMs rebellious nature. He then is still portrayed as logical when Shimomura is trying to rescue Tousaki. However he didn't really put up much of a fight and just seemed to get convinced that it would be the best course of action. His entire view of his 'companions' and Tousaki should have made them be disposables in his mindset. Unless Tousaki was key to their plan he would have no intention of risking the entire operation just because someone of the disposables was hindered in taking part. If however Tousaki was key to the plan he wouldn't have said no to rescuing him in the first place just setting priorities since they didn't know where Tousaki had been taken. As for the others I feel have changed drastically most of them haven't had enough screen time or are just portrayed differently by the story right now. The greatest change you notice and which has quite the impact on the characters is the change in story telling. While I must say that the american investigators at first struck me as an good idea they are way to bland characterized. The evil villain who has basically no other trait and the 'slave' feeling discomforted and breaking free of their shackles. Plus her IBM and Shimomura's clashing heads was just unnecassary and felt somehow wrong to me. The whole part about rescuing Tousaki was just a big jumble of bad storytelling and way to many coincidences. For example the part on the parking lot where the two americans hide and Shimomura finds them. Just before we heard Kei and Nakano search for Tousaki. However when Shimomura starts shooting they don't seem to hear any of the even though they were close enough for the americans to hear Kei not talking too loud while Nakano was shouting. Another situation are both the times the two americans where able to just get away without anyone stopping them. The first time in the house where they just could leave without anyone noticing where they were or starting to regroup when they didn't find Tousaki in their first search. Second one was at the car clash. Why did Kei and the rest take forever to arrive at the scene even though it wasn't that far away from where they originally where? So last but not least is Tanaka. While I apreciate the fact that they are trying to make him look like he is interested in the overall Ajin situation it is somewhat done wrong. All the time till now he has been portrayed as being crazy but not completely psychopatic like Satou probably. His reasons for being hateful and focussed on revenge were pretty clear. Though he has always been a character rather neglected in development so changes in his character even though he hasn't really been defined properly or undergone any characterchanging events feel quite off. As for your last remark about only the actions being the difference. You might be right in that part but in my opinion the actions characters take make who they are. So if you were to set already established characters into another scenario they would take different actions but still according to their characters nature and not to fill some plot convenience. What I'm not trying to say is that the series isn't Ajin anymore. I'm just saying the series is a different Ajin then it used to be. The anime and the manga have very few in common now except the previous narrative they share. Do you think there are no changes in character or don't feel uneasy about the way it is portrayed at the moment? |

| Oh no, i don't have a signature! What am i gonna do? |
| Excellent episode. Liked the new opening. Story is progressing in an interesting way. With the special team officially recognized there surely will be a lot of action in the next episodes. Liked how the problem with the Americans got resolved. And again a scene with Nagai and the American professor talking. Such a fun/cool guy with his cigarettes (and in one of the previous episodes when he joked about it) and he is giving good advice. 5/5 for this episode. |
| interesting, now people Satou's underlings have doubt with him. I wonder when The wing-ajin will make his debut, and also what kind of weapon do the special anti-ajin force have? 4/5 for me |
| 4th times getting signature banned wtf |
| Good episode. I liked the previous OP better. Both ministers in this episode had it coming lol |

| I liked more the previous opening, but the scene with Satou are epics. I think Tanaka understood that Satou doesn't give a fuck about Ajin rights, he only wants kill a lot of people. But Satou is too badass to be betrayed. The next episode looks promising :) |
| I wonder when will Satou's team find out that... How dumb that guy has to be to say that she is useless and should've been kept as an experiment rat in a pinch to an immortal woman who is your only hope in escaping alive. These 2 episodes are definitely Izumi's show which is great, she is an awesome character. Kuro-chan please one more time. Awesome.Too bad Tosaki wasn't grateful for what she did for him, it seems he thinks the same way Nagai is - business comes before personal emotions. Why do people who are on the kill list are not in bunkers or something? You would think that if you are 14 person in the list and all previous candidates died, you shouldn't be roaming around. Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| Mfw they changed the OP but not the ED... Poor Shimomura. Yes, what she did wasn't logical, but she did it out of care/concern. Looks like a few people might be defecting. I thought that Tosaki's squad getting a second chance feels a tad bit convenient, but on the other hand I want to see them in action. |
 |
| Previous OP still better than the new one... Damn! this show's getting better and cooler! Tosaki's saved at the cost of Ministers life. Anti-Ajin special force? sounds legit but they are still no match for Satou...or maybe finally a match that would make Satou struggle in the fight? That panty liner of that American Ajin woman so wants to start a new life was so sexy! very visible! lol 5/5! |
 |
| This anime is just as briliant as i expect it would be! perfect sequencing, without jeopardizing the buildup of the episode... Lively gesture and that shaking american booty! I loved it! by the way... anybody know the ambient music that used in previous season... the one with guitar and flute that gave eerie atmosphere. why they did not re-use that? |
 |
| Does anyone have the .gif where the minister praises satou total dope haahhha |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| New opening sounded more like fripSide now, first OP was more like angela's, both are still good. Nice episode, hope to see the other Ajin woman again. 5/5 |
| Them SATO eyes at the end though |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| Battle of the Female Lap Dogs! Not understanding but it was still a good episode. |
 |
| Fun episode, but a bit too fast? |
| This anime would be better if it was just Hat Man vs Government. Listening to that politician... I was like "just shoot him", then he did. |
  |
| mehh ever since the filler started the show is just not as good anymore What happened to Kai and that winged Ajin plz don't forget about them they were the best thing in this season. |
| They managed to get Tosaki back. |
 |
| Awesome Tosaki is back and that American guy is dead! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Knew Izumi would shoot that American guy as soon as he opened his fat mouth. A little shocking to see Meyers so quickly shoot him dead, but then again he did shoot her in the face just 5 minutes earlier. I was honestly expecting them to make it to the Minister in time. Did not expect that major screw-up! Satou opens his eyes in the preview and they are as red as the hell he's about to raise! Wonder how he's gonna surprise us with his "secret weapon". |
| Dayum finally the anti ajin force comes into play, shit bout to go down *_* |
 |
| New op bad , they keep dragging fight with Satou |
 |
| Satou kill the 14th, and all is ready to the last assalt!!! |
