| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, this show's shift to a more relaxed, lighthearted school life setting changed the mood a lot. Bela herself didn't change much as a character. Felt bad for her when some of the other older guys were intimidating her though. The action was alright this episode, although not groundbreaking imo. |
 |
| Step up from last episode. A lot more was going on in terms of storytelling and we got some insight on Bela including backstory of her deceased human vessel. Nothing to write home about, but pretty entertaining. |

| way better than the first episode! looking forward to the next! |
| Good episode. i liked how story rich it was and we get the whole backstory of the bella (looks i mean!) in one episode. That interview part with the high school friends was smart, they saved a lot of animation work and episode time by going with that style. Anyway this is a nice show, hopefully it get better and more interesting later on. |
| Interesting episode. We got some depth to Bela exploring her relationship with the idea of being human. I guess we will be getting some layers as the series progresses. Still not completely sold on it but it does have a few points of interest. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| I thought the bowling assassin was lame but otherwise a good episode. I really like Bela's character so far and am looking forward to learning more about Bem & Belo. |
| Seems like this show is gonna go for the monster of the day approach |

| Oh so basically these demons take on the faces of the people they saw, Good for Bem to stop bella from killing Eliane cu'z he believes in the justice system. Next ep is the Bello arc. |
| Sooo... Did anyone else notice how the background music they played in the classroom scene at the very beginning was literally "Swimming" from the Super Mario Bros. 3 All Stars OST? LMAO. Check out that scene again and then listen to the first 15 seconds of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhh4cDNKtN4 You can't tell me that's a coincidence, haha. |

| Did anyone else laugh when Dominique was bowled into Oblivion? I was laughing so hard lol. I guess this is edgy comedy now? Need more Summers for this show to be better, even though Annabela is pretty cool. |

| So embarrased with Tensura fans and the fandom, how have we degraded |
| Damn that Elaine is cunning AF, I think it was just jealousy though. Bela was really gonna do away with her if it wasn't for Bem. I think Belo is next though, pretty interesting character. This was better than the opening episode, maybe because Summers didn't have that much screen time! |

| I swear, it's like the weekly monster that they fight comes from an entirely different anime or something... |
| Another nice episode. 7/10 |
 |
| It seems like it will be episodic anime. That's a bad thing. |
 |
| Starting to dig this more and more,the main characters are clearly not typical and that dark vibe is really nice,guess this is the Robihachi of this season. |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| The darker tone and the focus on the Bem trio definitely was the highlight this episode. Bela was contemplating about living the life of a human, knowing full well that they borrow the aspects of humans, living their deceased vessels. She's a cool character though. Beholding justice, beheading betrayal. Justice is served, and Upper is no substitution for an alternative world, similar to the world we live in. A terrifyingly good episode, even better than the pilot episode. In fact, I'll take any episode WITHOUT Summers. Next week, it's Belo's turn. |
 |
| A nice episode in my opinion. I really like Bela's character. |

| The sudden supernatural bowling guy felt off. I wasn't expecting the woman to have connections like to anything supernatural. The police and Ana were both investigating about Mary at the same time. It was too weird for a co-incidence. The last episode made the meeting look a lot more natural. Well, this episode was still more enjoyable than the last one. Hope this keeps getting better. |
Where did you get that idea? Perhaps the first three episodes will be based on the character s before shifting into the main story... |

|
| They wasted that hot blonde lady by that comical, out of place bowling guy, smh. Anyway, it's still a pretty good episode, focusing on Bella this time. She's really cute tho. I wonder why no characters (beside her classmates) questioning her appearance (elf ears and wearing gloves all the time(this is sexy tho)) Looks like they can transform more when they lose control |
| Well the second episode was pretty good, I feel like it one of those anime that takes it time to “shine” like Psycho Pass |
| I really liked this episode. The atmosphere was very different from the pilot and I loved this high school/college setting. Bella's backstory was an interesting part of the story. I also like the fact that the episodes are named after a quality of the demon. I guess it was obvious who the 'liar' in this one was. So as a result, I was not surprised but enjoyed the search nonetheless. |
 |
| So not a story about protecting people from Yokai, damn it forgot its whole premise in 2 episodes. WTF was that bowling ball jerkoff supposed to accomplish. This was lazy writing coincidence central station. |
| This is where everything gets interesting, definitely a step up compared to the first episode. This is why I have trust issues lmao. Also, that woman saw Bella in her demon form and she doesn't mind? Sorry I kinda forgot what happened in ep 1 |
 |
| That was a pretty good backstory imo. Bella was pretty chill on the couch buck naked in a coat lol. I just don't understand why she had to go into a second form when she could have trashed the chick in her first anyway (guess she was pretty pissed, rightly so). Nonetheless it was nice of Bem to prevent her from murdering. I ship her with the boy who draws her too. Gotta admit the bowling dude got me off guard as well. |
| You know what I really, really like about a good story. When there's actual character development in the SECOND episode. Very rare that you see something like that. Her transition from acting like her other female classmates to acting like 'Mary' was a nice evolution. I'm excited to see where this show goes. Also her monster form is badass. |
 |
| This series falls flat on its face at some parts, but is otherwise pretty good. I'm enjoying the art and chemistry between Bem, Belo, and Bella. This episode was decent. It felt weird to be in a cheerful, bright school setting after just being in the melancholy and monochromatic lower city. The villain in this ep was so over the top evil that it was incredibly difficult to take him seriously. The demon forms of the main three still end up looking like early 2000's cartoon villains, but I kinda like them that way. Bella's probably my favorite character right now, I'm hoping we end up focusing on Belo in the next episode. He seems like a fun character. |
| I love the atmosphere of the first episode, the second one lost that but it showed us more what the main characters are and what mostly this is about, but what's the only thing I like is the banger jazz opening. It's 6/10 but for obvious reasons. |
 |
| I don't know, I liked the first episode more, this was so meh... |
 |
| Wow... wow... I was really into this... I was really into this... and then a man capable of transforming in a bowling ball appeared... the first guy, I can take, but the sheer stupidity of this guy's design completely ruined the episode for me. But the red haired girl's monster design at the end was cool. Thanks to @Vaniyaa for pointing out the music, I went back and listened and just sort of died laughing for a moment, that is now the best part of the episode. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Quiet impressing episode, but is still far from good. It was interesting to see the backstory of Bela's face. Im assuming we would get to see Belo's next. |

| Those 'monsters' are far from scary.. A bowling man, really? |
 |
| Nice chapter, except for the bowling man. Wtf with that? |
| Elaine kills Mary for being too positive. Hope she rots in prison lol |
| So the youkai got their faces from other humans, now i'm curious about bem and belo's origin of their human face I knew that that woman was the culprit, the way the classmates contradicted each other when talking about her was the real sign |
