Whoa, shit got real this episode. Trying to take out that maneater thing made this episode much more dangerous than the previous two.

However, I am glad they managed to beat the stage (Stage 4) despite the potential punishment that may await them. Well done.

It continues to stray further and further away from the neat Let's Player aspect into a generic "survival horror"...

At the very least, I'm glad there was finally some actual stakes in this episode, even if it still felt convoluted overall.

This show is slowly starting to grab me and I'm getting some good entertainment out of this. Especially with crazy stalker bitch scientist girl. Still has some long ways to go before I start calling it a great show but it has been alright so far.

was about to give up on this but this episode made me want to watch it more just b/c of Yuzu and her amazing stalking obsessive yandere-self! ending was wat got me and it looks like there may be some romance intertwined in with the drama, well i hope at least, but thats just me.

Aww man my choice for best girl was up in the air between Yuzu and Himiko, but after this episode YUZU WINS!!!

Oh man the end scene with her hugging Akki was adorable!

Another funny and fantastic episode.

Akki went overboard getting those pills though.

The Ones Within delivers another fine episode, This time, our heroes have to contend with a group of shapeshifting maneaters. Kaikoku and Zakuro's investigation of the 13th Avenue lands the group in trouble with Paca, hinting that there are secrets he wants to keep hidden. Speaking of secrets, this episode highlights Yuzu's obsession with Akatsuki, something that she has been harboring since they were children. For now, the show treats this as funny instead of disturbing, but I think the show will explore it further into its run.

I, for me this episode was pointless and stupidly all over the place. I was yawning the entire episode, we were fighting these copying monsters for the penalty and then this wacko who seems to be from the MCs past wants to kill him but at the same time embrace him. WWWTTTF!

I will bluntly call this one "Mediocre series", period!

This "Let's Play" thing is becoming more meh but creepy as time passes...

Yuzu is yandere girl...oh, I see where this is going.

Dat ending though...it's not a " Let's Play" anymore that I'm seeing.

Not the best episode, but impacts by a long shot.

It really feels a bit like they are all dead and need to play the games to win and get reborn ... or stuff like that. A bit like a certain anime where all where in school and this got only revealed later.

I mean with no info given and the alpaca admin having soo much power it can't be anything normal. I hope in the manga is already progress to reveal the backgrounds.

So far it is interesting. But by the end of this anime (after 12-13 episodes, 1 cour) I'd expect to get at least a little hint about the backgrounds.

I personally like this episode as it attempts to create more depth within the characters by introducing Yuzu's stalking tendencies with the mystery of relationship with Iride, and my personal favorite the small tid bit about anya's sleeping problem which undoubtedly plays a large role in his character. I'm looking forward to the next episode( I'm twisting my fingers that it'll be more about anya-kun as he is so far my favorite)

Yuzu is very...interesting. She's cute but very creepy at times. And Akatsuki is always so nice and helpful...even when they don't want his help. It's clear that his personality is a bit problematic depending on who he's around. Also, I'm so glad they gave us some info about Anya. Now, he seems less like the typical always angry guy.

Love that we got some yandere to go with our tsundere lol I'm definitely liking this. I'm not too sure where it's going to go, in the way of thriller/horror aspects, and if it's going to take itself too seriously in furhter episodes... but I'm hopeful that it will keep the comedy that it's been showing so far, because I love it.

IKR, I was like okey the scene is suprising and all but I couldn't think anything else than OMIGOSH it's a MEGUMI OGATA song! :D At least I think so It's Megumi Ogata, sounds like her. I literally waiting to get to know the song name myself too, can't wait to hear the full song. If you know sth let me know XD

The anime feels like a bit Danganronpa style with the mascot character, the announcer thing and also now with Megumi Ogata's song XD. It's like Danganronpa, but with less horror and despair.

I like you. Yes, it was Megumi Ogata and the song name is アルゴリズム (Algorithm).
As far as I could see, the full song should release in about 1 month :D

I still like Karin more than Yuzu, but Yuzu at the end hugging MC was cute.
The episode is more serious but the comedy is still present. They never explained how they got all these equipment and I assume that Iride got swapped when asking about the pills.
Alpaca probably told him to meet him while he had the man eaters pretend to be him.
Alpaca seems to have very little intention of actually killing them though, although he did say previous contestants have died, he never proved that have actually happened. There's a overall creepy atmosphere nonetheless, but it seems every time he implied death, there actually wasn't any.

I gotta say as much as I love the atmosphere of the manga. I've definitely noticed something in the past few episodes and that is.. It's kinda cut all over the place. Like it felt like a lot of scenes were cut down. I loved the manga since the character building is quite depth and it gives time for the characters, the anime is kinda fast pace in my opinion.

Tho I really like how they sometimes change it too a bit of a sketchy paint style, I hope they can experiment more when it comes to heavy and dark atmosphere since what happened to episode 1 was kinda meh, preferred the manga on it~ since that's what got me to continue reading.

OP song is good but I feel like it doesn't truly match the series. It sounds like the type of song you'd hear in a detective Anime series.

I think it's amusing to know that Kito Akari, who is also the voice actress for Nezuko in Kimetsu no Yaiba is voicing Karin in this series. She's mouthy here and barely speaks at all in KnY.

This episode was okay, not too impressive other than Yuzu figuring out that 'advanced' man eater plant that was posing as Iride. Where was the real Iride this entire time though?

Monster of the week trope is a sign inability of the author to write a good plot so they introduce random ass villain to distract viewer with action.
