| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm having a lot of fun watching the show with the gimmicks and superhero stuff. Hell, even found this dog to be amusing from the episode:  I think Fuurouta made a nice little friend too. Loved the energy poured into the episode and of course we get some action. The boss monster looks ugly with those insect features D: |
 |
| Such a fun episode, and I really like this ghost kid Sucks what happened to his friend and himself as well....Being the last of your race is a tough thing to deal with....I really like where this show is going because instead of having the whole black vs white trope, we're actually going to get grey characters I'm really liking the use of the fast forward scenes too and how they relate to the theme of the episodes....Great stuff....Perfect balance between tones too if you ask me Also, I wonder if Jiro is actually dating that other girl =o |

| Solid episode. Felt a little hastily put together tho.. its like they are squeezing in just to fit the "find solution at end of episode" mould. Still, i enjoyed it. And im happy they put indicators to show where they show fastforwards and flashbacks, but if you dont pay close enough attention, it can get a little confusing at times. I really wonder how Jiro developed his powers, considering he's human at the start. Looking forward to the future episodes. |
 |
| Wew, I like this show! |
| Blacker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than hell itself... that is coffee. My anime list My manga list |
| Yep, this show is really good. I love how they tell us the story so that we have to pay big attention to it. Furouta staying a kid forever must be hard, seeing him part with the queen that grew up. She can't forgive him because he used a virus to kill the insects as well as the government destroying their homeplace. I really wonder how Jiro got his powers and doesn't want to be in the superhuman bureau, yet he still helps out his fellow companions. |
| Better than the last episode. I want to know why this Present-Future timeline. |
| I felt something when Fuurouta was crying over his inability to change, and being unable to distinguish between the good and evil. Fuurouta being able to change shape and forms, and sort of throwing a bomb of mass destruction, unknowingly destroy Campe's race. Definitely interesting stuff and seems, though looking at things from a slightly more serious lens makes this even more enjoyable. Despite Jiro adding the ghost as a reminder, he still quit the bureau, which all the more makes the whole thing more enigmatic. Just can't help but to imagine the ending to be something awesome, when this has barely begun. |
 |
| Jirou was at first loyal to the Superhuman Bureau, but something, probably a big mistake, caused him to become jaded and a grey character. Past Jirou was already a borderline grey but mostly white, wasn't he? It feels like he has qualms regarding the superhuman bureau, especially when he votes for Fuurouta to join. In the future, it feels that he wants justice of some sorts but the world in the current state cannot provide such a thing. There is no right or wrong and he quit the Superhuman Bureau to truly help others, both Superhuman Bureau and Villains. I have a theory that he's actually an artificial (super)human of some sorts. It feels weird that the boss, Emi and Jirou all live in the same house. Maybe in that big mistake, he loses control/awakens the flaming arm thing. Pay attention to the OP lyrics, it feels as if it's related to the show. |
 |
| Really liked this one, even if the story was a bit squeezed. Truthfully, it seems like a shame that the series will only be 13 episodes. |
| "Even now, I travel on my journey, Believing in the world, Aiming for something far away – an endless journey. Having a dream like someone else’s, Or being in someone else’s dream – Which would you prefer?" |
| Now that I look at Hoshinoko again in this Episode, I think she's kinda Cute. |

| I liked this show. Then it got a silly ghost child for all the little kids to be amused by and... fail. |
| This episode was much better than the first. Still a little confusing, but so was Steins;Gate at first (which ended up being fantastic). Though the anime feels kinda rushed, not much, just slight. Overall good episode. 4/5 |
 |
| I dont know what to think of this show yet. In my opinion the comic style is refreshing to see and the animation is nice too. These flashbacks or how you'd call them are nice but a bit too confusing if you switch like 4-5 times in more or less 22 min. And I dont know what to think about the characters. They are likeable I guess ? Well Jiro is cool and I like the blonde boy Furuta but this girl with the violet hair is annoying in my opinion. What was with that "Oh my god I know they are dating" and throwing everything around? v.v But all in all it is interesting so I think I wont drop it |
| I'm liking the show's atmosphere and structure. Sort of gimmicky having a past and future timeline, but I guess that is what the anime was striving for, and it's paying off big time. Fast pace and switching timelines don't really work well together, but this show seems to pull it off due to its wacky nature, making high risk writing look like child's play. |
| Another brilliant episode. We get more worldbuilding about the setting - it is the world where all the comics and manga, tokusatsu shows, super sentai shows, etc are a reality - aliens, bugmen, ghosts, supernatural creatures, mutants - everything exists in it. Its like if someone took multiple Marvel/DC comicverses and mashed them together into a single planet. And every single of those "groups" have the "badguy" and "goodguy" side - superheroes and villains. Narrative wise we Have Year 41 point of time which is beginning of it all where the group was being formed and then we have various points in time years latter, when everything has fallen apart and the lines in the sand between hero and villain have been destroyed(which was set in motion in Year 41). The decisions characters had to make and the complicated situations they will get into, have completely thrown them into a gray morality kind of world. In a way I guess you could say that Year 41 is the "Oldschool 70s/80s" comic books and super sentai shows(which all had clearer distinction of good and evil) while the future points of time are the "Modern" comics(which blur the line). Another very strong episode and this remains one of best shows this season. Reminds me of Watchmen in a way as well as the choice of games Heroes Rise series of choice based text adventures. 5/5 |

| Love it! This must be superhero season!! |
| [quote=FatefulLove]I felt something when Fuurouta was crying over his inability to change, and being unable to distinguish between the good and evil. same here :c |
| I think they are very interesting caracteres as it has a storeline that seems so well developed and thrilling, I hope great things coming soon! The ghost is lovely :3 as by the whitch im linda dissapointed in this episode since I love the mahou shoujo genre |
| Yep. I am totally lost here. Each episode needs a re-watch in order to be understood properly. I have no idea where this is headed. Fuurota is the focus here. He's a ghost who doesn't age and can shape shift. He saves a little bug. Meanwhile, a big black fog starts to engulf the city. But that's not the concern of the bureau since they're out to capture Fuurota so he doesn't cause trouble. But it then turns out that the fog is caused by ginormous bugs. Bugs once roamed the earth just like dinosaurs did but a virus killed them all. The bureau's professor replicates that virus to kill the bugs again and Fuurota goes to deliver the virus. The bug men are now ded. But it turns out that the little bug Fuurota saved was the queen of the overgrown insects and Fuurota just killed all her people or insects or whatever. So seven years later, she comes back for revenge. Jiro, who had escaped two years earlier, comes back to save Fuurota from the bug lady. This time jumping business is making things really confusing here. So by the looks of it, they're showing different time periods of the future which are linked to the events currently happening. The last episode had Grosse Augen and Kikko in focus so the future scene also had them. This episode had Fuurota and Campe in focus so the future scene showed them. Another bit is that Jiro and that pink haired lady are going out. And Kikko is super jealous. She joined the bureau partly because she wanted to be with Jiro who was her hero at that time. But now she can't leave just because Jiro is already taken. So she has to bear with it. Despite being confusing as hell, this is still quite enjoyable. The next episode will have a detective superhuman or something. Will also have more jumping to the future. |
| I don't know why people are so confused. just look at the dates at the top when they change time periods. Easy. |
| WOW! The OP and ED was so great, but this time episode , lack of action , i guess. Interesting though. Still like it. Hope to see more action in the next episode :D |

The only thing that wasn't really explained is why Jiro knows who Campe is, but I'm hoping this will get explained later. |
| Much better than last episode but I still find the colouration jarring as they clash with each other. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |

| I don't get this show at all. Last episode, they are chasing after MC and now they are together as friend? So confusing...Drop 3/10 |

| While I'm enjoying the way the story's told with the jumps between timelines, unlike last time I found the content of this episode a bit lacking. I couldn't feel anything towards the kid at the end because the whole thing with the black fog was just too short to seem meaningful. On the good side, I'm liking the contrast in atmosphere between the present and the past. Depending on how this develops in the next few episodes it could take a very interesting turn or become quite stale. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Now this episode sure was more understandable. You just have to pay attention. On a side note Fuurouta mistakenly killing Campe's people sure was bad luck. :| Though even if it wasn't him, they would've been dealt with them either way. |
| The first episode was good, but this one was way better ! |
 |
| I need some help understanding this I'm litterally begging. Just please help! How can you tell a flashback or a fast forward scene? ... Anywho, I am really liking this series so far! |
| Sorry! I must admit I am confused most of the time. Feel free to recommend anime to me, or tell me to shut up. |
| Instead of each story happening within one time block, each story occurs over different time blocks, so this can be seem a bit choppy and/or episodic, but this is how things actually happen. Not everything is resolved at once, and stuff that happened before can come up again in the far future. Though it can be pretty confusing story-wise. TawnyWings said: I need some help understanding this I'm litterally begging. Just please help! How can you tell a flashback or a fast forward scene? ... Anywho, I am really liking this series so far! They show the year number for each time skip, and it is kinda obvious which one is happening at the past and future. |

Everything is a lot clearer now! I gotta learn how to pay attention... |

| Everytime the time changes a message like this shows up: It's pretty important to pay attention to the date to know exactly when the scene is happening. In these two episodes we have already seen "times": "Present" - Year 41 "Episode 1 Future" - Year 46 "Episode 2 Future" - Year 48 |

 |
| Wow I love that ghost kid! When Fuurouta started crying about not being able to tell the difference between good and evil and wanting to grow up, it brought tears to my eyes! Despite the fact that Jiro brought him in to help keep him from faltering and he still left the bureau is interesting! I really hope that by the end everyone understands why he left, b'cuz there seems that there is probably a good reason behind it since he still comes to the aid of his former team mates. |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |

Just can't help but to imagine the ending to be something awesome, when this has barely begun. Same here, for some reason, I actually got teary-eyed, especially when Jirou told Fuurouta that it's fine for Fuurouta to stay the same. We get these types of stories once in awhile, about an immortal or ghost or something that has a much longer life span than humans, but I think they did a really good take on it, with a child ghost who stays childlike. I think I understand what Jirou means by that Fuurouta doesn't have to change and see things in grey. After all, what Fuurouta did back then wasn't wrong, it was good for everyone else, while only bad for the Tartaros. It is a wonder what happened for Jirou to change his mind and to leave the bureau. Anyways, I'm really enjoying the theme of this show so far. I also agree with Fai on the worldbuilding, how so many different things from different fantasy/supernatural genres are included in the setting. As for people being confused...If somehow someone missed the time stamps on the screen whenever they change the time, it should still be easy to tell when it's past or present, given that Jirou has different outfits for when he was at the bureau, and after he left. Or simply that he's either with the bureau, or not with the bureau. If he's with the bureau, it's the past. I think some people simply aren't paying attention while watching this show, which happens, I guess. Especially if you didn't find the first episode interesting, then I can see how a person will not be as invested while watching the second episode. |
| Definitely a unique show. I'm just having trouble understanding it, the time skips are really hard to comprehend. Though I must say this show is visually pretty stunning, and the characters are pretty decent as they are. Gimmicky show, and probably the weakest of the full series I'm watching, but not that bad. Also, that Moth girl when she was a child (I think anyways) is fucking adorable. Clown/ghost boy though, I'm not really liking him that much yet. |
| Ok that was much better, especially with how it blended future and past events, im definitely far more onboard. I just do hope it improves much more but at the very least it doesnt feel as poorly put together as ep 1 was. I am much more interested as to why jiro left the bureau especially with the ghost kid lamenting over how things no longer feel black and white. My guess is the bureau was corrupted and had them attacking innocent superhmans DerMond said: hasnt it been pretty much confirmed its a split cour cause it was announced to run half a year originally.Truthfully, it seems like a shame that the series will only be 13 episodes. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| past and present timeline are a lot more clearly this time around i guess this will be the case for the rest of the characters then we'll be in the current timeline. show still has me interested |
 |
| so this is how the story telling will go then, they will mix the past and present timeline to every episode i guess, not bad i like this episode too |

| it's a good episode, needs more world building IMO 3/5 |
 |
| Good episode. I liked Fuurouta's character and like it was said before, it makes me even more curious to know the reason why Jirou left the Bureau. Also, I am the only one or the art style strongly reminds of Mawaru Penguindrum? |
| The writing for this show is actually really good. Rather than just a regular superhman villain of the week, it's actually portraying the characters really well. This episode especially. We have a kid ghost who doesn't know anything more than kid stuff and ghost stuff. He has a very black and white image of what he thinks superheroes and bad guys are. He gets the opportunity to be a hero and stop the bad guys, and thinks he does so. Only then to find out he wasn't actually a hero when looked at from Campe's perspective. Fuurouta is then hit with the harsh reality that maybe a hero isn't so easy to define, and it's now something he cant understand because he never had the concept of, and really never will because being a ghost and a child is permanently engraved into his being. On top of that, he lost someone whom he once called a friend. to be honest, I thought he did the right thing. The policticians who sold the land didn't remember the land agreement. Those bug people were going there to "punish" the officials. Really Fuurouta stopped them from being unnecessarily killed when they could've just negotiated instead. I also like how each episode has current event stuff, and then it's showing a related sequence in the future. Last week it involved Jirou going rogue and leaving the bureau, and this week it was the scene with Campe being an adult. Kind of reminds me of Punchline where they give you bits and pieces of stuff that's going on, and are basically foreshadowing the entire thing, then in the second half of the show all of the pieces were put together and all of the foreshadowed stuff became present day. I hope this follows suit. Maybe around episode 6-7 the start of the flashbacks becomes the current time, then we see how all of these future scenes actually came to be. Ridiculous. how this show is under a 7 yet One Punch Man is over 8.5 |
