| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- (Episodes 1 and 2 were watched at the pre-airing by Crunchyroll at London MCM Comic Con on 25th October 2019) I like the characters and their relationship so far. That girl has real personality and the boy is something of a curiosity - what actually happened to him previously? What was the second youkai he ate and why does he refuse to say what it was when he's happy to talk about eating the mermaid? Well, not happy exactly but at least prepared to do so. It's certainly an interesting setup, and the mysteries were pretty decent, too. Not something I've really seen other stuff like before. Of the two pre-airings, this was the one I was less interested in beforehand, but it actually looks the better of the two. The only downside is the rather contrived cliffhangers at the end of both the first two episodes. (Unless the stream was cut off a few seconds early? Not impossible but I didn't get that impression) I look forward to watching more of this when it airs properly. |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| So is the episodes available in the internet? This give me an idea that the studio must have finished at least 4 episodes as of now, since the first two episodes aired two months before the anime was started. kuuderes_shadow said: What was the second youkai he ate and why does he refuse to say what it was when he's happy to talk about eating the mermaid? Well, not happy exactly but at least prepared to do so. I won't spoil anything about the male protagonist's ability and past but the story won't reveals the second youkai he ate in the past until around EP5 or EP6, so you have to wait for a long while for knowing it lol. |
MahiaErebeaNegi said: So is the episodes available in the internet? Only if someone managed to record the entire thing without anyone noticing and has since uploaded it (I'm not going to look for it). There were quite a few officials of one kind or another at various places around the auditorium who would doubtless have kicked out anyone they saw trying to record anything - and nothing like that happened. I won't spoil anything about the male protagonist's ability and past Good. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I kinda figured out the episodes won't be uploaded when I can't finds the episodes anywhere online. Guess I will wait until the show aired at January 2020, but still thanks for the answer. |
| Wow gg for watching ahead of us. |
| I watched it in November at Anime NYC! But given all the actions-tensions in the first episode, this episode was kind of meh! Only talk and talk! |
 |
| I just love the character chemistry between our two main leads. The spraying scene on Kotoko was comedy gold. The balanced mood between the comedic content and the serious tone of the storytelling has my sold on the show. We also got a giant snake introduced from this episode so I'm rather curious what other supernatural creatures this anime will show. |
 |
| It was a really great episode, I loved it and it was so interesting and captivating, I can't wait for the next one |
 |
| They spent the whole episode talking .. and we don't even saw the resolution, like come on. At least next week the ex-girlfriend gonna show up. |
 |
| Good episode. The whole case was interesting but I'm wondering why they had to end with a cliffhanger. |
 |
| The talking was good, I really liked this episode, sometimes just a comfy talking part is good enough |
| Kotoko is really carrying this show so far. Very likeable protagonist for once. The guy isn't half bad either really |
  |
| Was so engrossed with the conversation I didn't even notice how quickly the episode went by until the 'to be continue' screen popped up. Strangely enough though, I don't even care much about the issue going on but rather I think I just enjoy seeing the characters interact. |
| Episode 2 was full of monogatari series. Continuous talking.. It was horrible! |
| Naruhodo is all I can say after this ep. Faceless big tiddy waifu next week. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| A story telling anime with youkaï ? Just take my money already That was a really nice episode, I was really absorbed in her story The cliffhanger was quite surprising however, I expected the episode to wrap up the entire mystery's story |
| I didn't mind the talking much, which is strange because usually I prefer episodes to have action. I guess I just like the characters and their interactions- they're both pretty likeable imo- hopefully things pick up soon though. |

| Ah giant white snakes, it's almost like Sekiro all over again. Also that OP is lit And man did that flow by. I'm not usually one for slower paced style shows but Kotoko is mainly what keeps me hooked HalfHalfBastard said: Is this entire series going to consist of sitting and storytelling? The characters are still very bad in my opinion, and the messy plot doesn't help. It's a very dialogue-heavy show. The next arc (starting next ep judging by the preview) will have some more actual action in it, but it's still gonna have lots of dialogue lol |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I really love this show, it reminds me a lot of Inuyasha with the lore, setting and mythology involved. Especially that first arc of Inuyasha. Love the banter between Iwanaga and Kuro and there whole dynamic. She's a new waifu for sure. Snake boy reminded me of Miroku lol. May have to pick up the manga because this is awesome |
 |
| The staff working on this show really need to be given props. You could easily fuck up a dialogue heavy show, it could be too fast (you'd miss important details and get frustrated with the pacing) or too slow (which will bore the viewer) but this looks very well done to me here. Fairly good paced dialogue with the visuals backing them up in almost every scene, it's really visible in the murder discussion when we saw the parties involved. So good shit, this had me glued to the screen. |
| My goodness, this episode was really fucking boring. |
 |
| Can't wait to find out the real reason the suspect threw the corpse into the swamp.. like.. wtf, why would anyone care? This episode felt like a filler with nothing driving the story. It's a shame I'll have to drop this cause the art, character designs and voice actors are all good. |
| Not quite what I had expected for this to flow this way, but it wasn't really bad. Like before I knew the episode was already over. I do have to say that this Serpent was very hard to please, he was dissatisfied with every possible explanation Kotoko gave.. Seems next week will pick up the action a bit more. Opening is great, very nice song and great visually! |
 |
| It was pretty good. To be honest, I thought it would have a little more action oriented sequences thrown in there but despite the heavy dialogue it's still quite nice. I'm curious though, it kinda feels like Kotoko already gave the serpent the answer for why the body was thrown in but at the end it still asks her the question. From the looks of it, the next episode is gonna be entirely different so did they just cut the actual resolution in the story, essentially just telling the viewer what could have happened? |
 |
| I was already considering dropping this but this episode change my mind. If there will be more funny mystery like that then I'll stick for a while. |
 |
| oh no cliffhangers just why |
eso-JAR said: its not nearly close to monogatari series.. Exactly, It does not require the unnecessary fanservice and the pointless themes to feel interesting. |
| Cool. Murder mystery involved too? I thought this anime would be mostly action and youkai stuff but it has detective stuff too. I enjoy it. Unlike most anime watchers, I don't mind anime with mostly talking lol. Cliffhanger tho whyyyy? I guess next episode is still entirely focused on this swamp story. |
| Lol many people clearly don't see we have "Mystery" genre in front page. Classy MAL users as always. |
 |
| So like this was nice and all...but it still makes you wonder maybe there was another reason or something |
 |
| I'm rather fond of dialogue-heavy shows, but I was baffled by the end of this episode. It can be summarized as "I present hypothesis A, except that was a red herring. Thus I posit hypothesis B, but it was also a red herring. Now how about hypothesis C? Bingo! It was a red herring. To be continued..." I still like the characters and was genuinely entertained throughout the entirety of the episode, but in the end had to question the point of it all. |
| The episode was relaxed, actually, it was all about explaining a giant snake why someone threw a body into its swamp. Animation is quite good. Still, the mystery behind Kurou’s abilities. |
