| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY FUCKED THE ENDING I was mostly on board with this episode until that part. The little cutscene in the original game where Neku reaches out to Shiki as she ascends was the most touching part of the game to me because of how much it goes on to impact Neku. It was honestly kinda funny to see how drawn out it was here. I don't know why they decided to make Shiki such a pussy here since she seemed to be pretty accepting of how powerless she was in the original game. The art direction is once again the strongest aspect of this adaptation. I liked the reference to Sota and Nao's death on the 104 billboard, especially since I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've heard about how they died. It's kinda lame that all of the players in this series (except Neku) passed away in traffic accidents though, especially since fewer people own cars in Japan. The fish noise during that fight with the shark was also a pretty cool idea as well. During the announcement stream for the anime they said they'd be trying to implement some of the stuff which didn't make it into the game. Maybe that was one of their ideas? As far as my playthrough has gone, I'm currently on Day 4 of week 2. I'd be much further along by now if my impulses didn't force me to befriend all the shopkeepers and work on Neku's stats. It's honestly ridiculous I'm at level 59 and have jumped about 20 levels over the past two days alone. The amount of stuff to do really does make it feel like purgatory. |

| It's definitely gotten a lot better compared to that first episode, however I still would not recommend this to anyone that isn't already a huge fan of the game. The fact that the pacing has evened out while abridging the game stuff without feeling as terrible as that first episode has made me actually look forward to the next episode, however I can say I can find some enjoyment out of this due to how much I've played the game and how much of my feelings and memories I've put into this story to the point where even an abridged version is still something I'd look at fondly. I still wouldn't call it good though, and not even just as an adaptation, but I wouldn't even call this a good anime, viewers that haven't played the game are going to be baffled by the weird pacing and the fights aren't exactly anything to write home about. This shit feels disjointed, they cut out a lot of shit that is actually kind of necessary, an anime only watcher is not going to understand anything about Hanekoma since they basically removed 90% of his involvement so far, which wasn't even THAT much in the game, when he shows up again people who haven't played the game are going to be confused. 3/5 for me as an existing fan, hope it keeps the pacing we see this episode, but this to me has actually taken the place of my obligatory trashy show of the season. It's not really that trashy, but it's serving the same purpose a trashy show would have for me. |

| Aww yeah, next episode has Joshua in it! Gonna wait for Neku to go Apeshit |
i fucking hate manga (keeps reading manga discord | o_ganji |
| As someone who played the game only a year after it's release, I think the anime is being done perfectly so far. The last time I played was the Switch port, so my memory of the story isn't 100% but I love the OST and the way they adapted it into an anime. The connection between Neku and Shiki feels so much stronger here. |
| Those 2 reapers give me Team Rocket vibes This is getting fascinating now |
 |
| That was MESSED UP OMG |
| Well, I played the game some years ago and I loved it. And... I don't think the pacing of this show is too fast. I mean, it could be slower and double the episodes (24 instead 12), but I think the story is being pretty well narrated. So... I'll like this show a lot if it continues like this. |
| Run 1 of Reaper game complete! time for run 2. Poor Rhyme but even more for Shiki just after she gained the prize of being reborn. |
 |
| I actually felt a little bad for Beat when Rhyme died. Even if I never actually cared for Rhyme at all. Shiki being the new prize really is a terrible move. I'm hyped to see Joshua next episode. |
 |
| Baitou guy is fucking hilarious lmao |
| 2 days. Kitaniji. 4 players remain? Bito and Raimu appear. Dat message. Uzuki and... OMG! Raimu saved Bito and got eaten by Shark-kun. Raimu is dead? Hanekoma stops Bito. Loved how Shiki disappeared in front of Neku KH style. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
