THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I’m not sure if only one person is supposed to create the episode discussion threads of a show. If yes, then I do apologize to Stardew, who created the first episode thread.

This is a more heartwarming episode, which might indicate that each episode will turn out to be markedly different from the previous. In this case, it’s imperative for the story to paint and maintain a consistent picture and to be able to link together elements from varying points in the plot. For instance, in later episodes it should carry on with its line of thought that one may unknowingly create tragedy, which it explored in episode 1. Also, it seems that the animation quality has gotten better.

I wonder if the death from the first episode will come back into the plot again.

So far the stories are very emotional - I'm really enjoying it. It's great seeing the guys deal with the struggles of being women.

I guess we were right previous episode. Any changes towards the timeline = death so far while in this episode he followed what white hair said. Happy to see a happier episode.

No don't worry about it. Episode discussion posts can be created by anyone.

You know what? at first part of this episode I was meh because I predict that the secret to that delicious recipe going to be another cheesy "filled with sincere love",
but I was brutally wrong. haha. I like it when my prediction wrong, because if its right, it means the show is too predictable and thus boring to me. So glad they able to maintain their story theme since previous episode. :)

I really like the story and of course the opening and ending theme never bore me.
still 9/10. looking forward for next episode.

This had a sweet ending. Really enjoying the show so far. I got to admit, I was really confused on how the lead with black hair seemed to know exactly what to say. I was like...is he making stuff up as he goes along? Turns out the lead with white hair was directing him lol.

It's either going to come back as a way to drive a wedge between the two or it's going to become a major plot in the next episodes, like them putting more and more women in danger by making small changes that lead to the women encountering the killer.

What I would love is if, like, a police officer came to seek their help in identifying the killer. Maybe the black haired one would identify the killer trough a photo by the victim, living out her last days and either saving her by making a change or reliving her death. Would be interesting to see how he handles the pain of dying, since he can feel everything the original person feels

I just love serial killer hunting stories, especially if its independent people/not police

Same. I loved the explanation the anime offered a lot more than just "it was love all along". Gives it more weight. Especially because it's a family recipe



That said do any of y'all know when its airing? They said 30th is the airing date but that was two days ago and yet two episodes are out already. Is it airing daily?

At first I only considered the death coming back as a internal character conflict between the two guys, but I'm LOVING your ideas of the killer returning as a main antagonist and the guys taking on cases of a darker nature. The mechanics of living through someone's death would be really chilling and fascinating to explore. If the black haired one had to let the victims die in order to solve the crime, I think that would really break him. Damn.

I'm imagining an officer presenting them with the only evidence they have for the case - maybe a series of shakey blurred photos the victim took in a panic as they were being abducted. Also, I wonder if CCTV footage would have any use in this case, since it's automatic and you can't really transfer into someones body...

I love serial killer hunting stories too! You got me super excited now :D

A the killer returning as a main antagonist and the guys taking on cases of a darker nature.

given how the killer has a unique/quirky design (with blonde hair, face obscured for now) when you compare him to other side characters with more natural hair, he looks like a reoccurring character. so i think while maybe they're not gonna go hunting for him themselves, he'll probably come back as a main antagonist (and maybe even pose a threat to the landlady?)

love seeing ur enthusiasm, love to see other weirdos like me :D i'm obsessed with true crime so i think its natural that serial killer hunting just gets me riled up
i really really hope the show is going to go in this direction.

the idea with the shaky blurry last photo is really good! and yeah i wonder how cctv photos would work. I'm guessing the person that installed the camera would technically be the original? or maybe the security men that watch the footage?

not sure if I'm totally into it because of a couple of things primarily the animation. the first episode the animation was fantastic and then this episode it felt incomplete towards the end. not sure if I'll keep watching but so far it's sorta interesting and the art style is pretty. I'm not too convinced so far tho. is this supposed to be a slice of life or ???

This episode focused on two people's bonds. I'm very glad their relationship didn't broke.
Seems episodic storytelling so far. However, quite well-written. Interesting and profound.

Good thing this case didn't have a dark ending.

For some reason personality wise Cheng Xiaoshi reminds me of Wei Ying and Lu Guang reminds me of Lan Zhan ◐.̃◐

And those subtitles are killing me...it got more worse than the previous episode.

So, I'm visually impaired. Funimation's subs for them right now are TEENY TINY lil things that I can't even read with my eyes right at the screen. I have to modify the text as large as I can in every streaming service I use and sometimes (like for Funimation) its still not an ideal size for me.

I can't watch this or the third episode bc of this, and I'm pretty pissed off. Funimation shouldn't post videos if they can't provide the English subtitles and the modifier for it for EVERYONE's viewing pleasure. I understand that this anime is in Chinese and so they're probably needing more time to sub it, but fuck.

I can't read this.

Still late af to the discussion but def liked this episode more, and per usual, cried. Finals got me bawlin all over the place. It felt like a flavors of youth segment. Beautiful animation, love the op

I keep seeing all the stuff abt the serial killer and tbh if this show is about women getting abducted and killed/stalked in an undeterrable way, might have to drop. though it would be interesting.

Excited to see whats next though!

I'll continue this show despite the unholy powers that compromise the fabric of reality over noodles because this episode was really sweet and I'm glad it had a wonderful happy ending where two lifelong companions can live happily ever after with their rural noodle shop and nobody got freaking murdered by a random serial killer because they missed their parents.

Im glad this episode ended so nicely. I didn't really understand the red haired lady's problem though, why was she so distant to her friend and then return to her at the end? Was she just jealous or something because of the ramen? And then after figuring out it was the thing that she gave her friend so long ago she felt soft? Idk lol.

The ending was cute, the way that Cheng Xaioshi tricked Lu Guang into putting his hand out got me ngl. I was like "wait what just happened," he's so smart lol

Another great episode. The style of this series is refreshing; it almost looks like it was drawn on paper, complete with jagged outlines and mellow colors— a nice change of pace from the clean lines and glossy highlights from Japanese anime.

A lovely and heartwarming episode..

The one that changed was the yellow haired girl, she was into it for the money while the other one wanted to stay true to her dream.
But at the end, they met each other again. Somethin might have changed because he went back into the past in that last photo, not sure..

This was such a sweet episode. I was hoping to not comment on this episode since I am binging this, but I couldn't stop myself!

I was able to understand that the light haired woman was the one who had come up with the secret ingredient, but the end still made me so happy. Everything just came together!

I am wondering why they didn't just possess the dark haired girl from the start, though.

Xiaoshi seemed so used to possessing girls that he did such a great job acting the part!

Anyway, this episode felt so romantic! The girls' bond was really sweet and realistic. Even when they've grown old, they still care about each other! Who doesn't want a bond like that?

Looks like you missed some basic info about their powers?
They can only see and posses the person who took the photos. If the black haired woman did took any photos there's not they can do, and also, Xiaoshi is affected by the possessed person emotions but only that, he does not have access to their memories.

But this is a valid question, you know?
Villain used his powers to kill people, but with powers like those you could do a lot of things. The questionable uses goes beyond just changing nodes.

So glad it was a happy ending. The village is the same one as that in Flavors of Youth it seems. Wonder if it's intentional or the studio is just reusing panels since Haoliners Animation League is involved in animating both.

Li, Haoling is the director of this series who also directed the 3rd episode of Flover of Youths. So I will say yes it might be the case.

The 1st episode was so damn good imo. That plot twist really added the flavour. Now with the 2nd episode they decided to go with a more happier ending which was a neat touch prior to it's previous episode's ending. The only thing that bothered me was some really sus moments but other than that, it was pretty good.
