In case no one mentioned it yet. That man eater is modeled after a worm in the Gorgonorhynchus family. They have this apendage they shoot out a sticky web to pull prey in.

Going in for a hot take for a minute:

- I think the Man Eater was minding his own business until someone came in and "stopped him from roaming around." I mean he/they/it wasn't eating people so why bother it?
- I feel real bad for Haruki however as soon as he "stabbed" that Man Eater he should of 'stop, dropped and rolled (ran)' away. Sure it's not his 'character' (bad influence there Robin) but at least he'd live.
- As for the Haruki / Kiruko thing. Not surprised. But more disappointed I guess, I mean it is very siscon in a way. So I'm happy for people who like that.
- Maru? Male or female, don't let that stop you!

Side Note:
- Mimihime is a troll.
- And Kuku reminds me of "Froppy" from MHA. Don't hate.

Great episode. I really do not like waiting so I will probably read ahead in the manga.

You have to feel pity for Maru, getting rejected by being told his crush has a male personality inside her. As for the flashback, I don't think it was the best idea for Haruki to try and fight the Man-eater alone, which led to Kiriko's personality death. It's tragic that he had to deal with the loss of his beloved sister in such a way.

Okay, so I have multiple things and multiple theories (as a anime only watcher so idk if this counts as spoilers-)

1: I think robin shot the sister

Okay so we know that robin was overprotective of the little brother especially right?
Well we know that she was perfectly fine except for some cuts and such, and somehow between that time and getting to the hospital she was on deaths door. Why? Well we hear a gunshot after the brother closes his eyes for what was supposed to be the last time.
We know the doctor operated on them, but I don’t think he’d be the one shooting, couldn’t he have just, operated on one child for experimentation or something?
Robin on the other hand, he might see his little sister in the little brother and do whatever it takes to save the lil bro. Even sacrificing his sister.


2: “babies have no face”

Okay I don’t remember where or when, but wasn’t there a scene of a baby man eater.
Like just a human body, but a man eater face. That might be what she means by “real babies have no face”


3: What are the children in heaven

•super natural abilities
•one of them can draw man eaters and other stuff in great detail
•one feels connected to “the outside”
•and that one scene I mentioned above about the man eater baby.


Also is the little brother in love with his sister or something- cause that mirror scene still makes no sense now.

Also, why did her hair go from black, to red.

Kiruko's backstory was even more messed up than I realized. 
That plot twist was crazy. Kiruko was not lying about having the mind of a man. She was originally Hakuri.
Poor Hakuri man. He just wanted to kill off the monster that was disrupting his sister's race. However, the monster ended up eating a chunk outta Hakuri.
I wondered what the surgeon was thinking during the operation. Did Hakuri's sister voluntarily offer up her brain for the brain transplant transfer?
What a tragic turn of events.

Pretty interesting backstory episode. Would have been more engaging without the incest and the kid masturbating while being in his dead sister's body but guess this is one of those seinen stories where the author can go ham with their fetishes and shit. Kinda reminds me of Made in Abyss in a sense.

Seems to be quite the assumption that his sister ("sister"? a real one?)  is dead all things considered.  He somehow got moved into her body why couldn't she be somewhere else too?  Would feel a waste to not have her turn up again in a new body of her own.

Definitely going to have an interesting story with the man-eaters and this mysterious facility.  I have high hopes for this anime, better not collapse in on itself.

The plot thickens to say the least.

Losing everyone you care about and suddenly being on your own. That's definitely rough. Also, was Haruki fingering his sister whilst being in her body? Did I see that right? 😅

The man-eater fish with arms is exactly the same as one of Kona's drawings. Huh, that's odd

The extend, way faster than i expect and its sure twist me up xd...

Backstory with the connection of the hint about Kiruko killed her own brother at the kart racing. Understandable. But still something does not add up. Like the gunshot might be a good clue, to transfer Haruki conciousness to his sister body? Because his half eaten body by the man-eater might be the cause to the transfer. Haruki, his soul, somehow absorb his own sister and took over the body himself, and the doc help it to happened fast. Perhaps...

Back to the far place where weird kids doing their weird things. You sure real babies have no face? What if you actually the one that create such a babies? I mean, the mutant man-eater one. I dunno. So expect more extend of those thing at the next episode, i guess...

wow, so that was kind of a wild backstory. and yet, we don't actually know wtf happened (the doc's "experiments"?, robin's whereabouts?, how his sister...died?). waking up like that has got to traumatizing af. no other way to say it

then the post-credit scene... i totally forgot about those kids growing up in that "school" who are completely isolated from the outside world. and who are basically body doubles of people from the outside. and then, "OH BY THE WAY", this girl has seen baby maneaters and even offers to take one of her friends to go see it. what the what?!

Wow. This series got darker Oo

If I had to guess what happened based on what we saw (please don't confirm if my predictions are rights because I haven't read the manga yet D:), I'm guessing Kiriko killed herself with a gun in order to let Haru use her body and survive hence the gunshots. I also think both Robin and the doctor are still alive somewhere, maybe even being the ones behind everything. I don't know though as it is just a guess, but I do help they find answers!!

edit: ohh, so maybe there are doing experiments in "heaven" since Kuku has seen a faceless baby xx

This anime got me interested since episode one, even moreso with this episode.

So many questions that I need to know. What’s up with this universe? How’d the brother and sister switch and did she really die? What’s up with that strange doctor and the disappearances? Are the kids connected as seen with the kid having the nosebleed after the other fell?
And the Man Eaters????

To be continued

This is one of the strange / weird anime of the season. Feel heartbreaking when I know the past of Kiruko / Haruki. A lot of new questions, mystery about the new characters. Where all monsters are created? The end of this episode is mindfuck about face of babies, the drawing guy has already drawn a fish with arms. Gosh, this sci-fi anime gives me headache lol

Ohhhhh boy, this episode was like getting hit with a Muda Muda finisher from start to finish. So many things got thrown at us, each other more interesting than the last. This is such a great build-up on top of the past two episodes' mysteries.

That old doctor is definitely on some shady shit, I wonder, was it his idea to do the brain transplant as both of them were dying and he had to save the one with the most chances of surviving, or did the sister bg the doctor to do it? Also, Robin disappeared right when it mattered most. Some many entangled plot threads that I can't watch unfold.

I've been having this weird familiar feeling about the environment of this show, something about it reminds me of the post-apocalyptic world of the Metro game franchise.
