| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another weird episode.. I didn't think this one was disturbing though because of the swift change in setting from civilization to the icy mountains. However, it still had a thrilling mood to it with the disastrous result of the camp site as well that weird cliffhanger. Edit: never mind. That monster is disgusting. |

| Again a decent episode. I like her character a lot, she's really well drawn. |
| solid episode.. just wish it could be full-length haha. the female character looks a little like Lara Croft. |
 |
| It's only episode 2 but I'm starting to get disappointed. The stories aren't creepy, they're rather boring, and there's no point to them. People get eaten/attacked by a strange creature then the episode ends. Why are these incidents being shown to us and what happens afterwards? It doesn't feel like the episodes have proper closure. |
 |
| There were some pretty damn creepy intense and sad scenes there. That monster was grotesque AF |
 |
| Quick thinking and that music box saved Kuroda big time. Too bad about her dad though, but what did she expect? So far, Banba-sensei hasn't gotten any solid clue to figure out the origin of these monsters. I wonder how he plans to face them. |
 |
| I didnt really find this episode interesting. I really like the art style though, especially the monster. |
| I liked this better than the first episode, because it was intense. But yeah, the plot seems to be going nowhere as of now. Maybe they'll show some more monsters then Banba-sensei would start figuring out where these creatures come out. Good one though. |
 |
That was close. She was saved by the music box.  |

| I got a feeling if this was in the usual anime style it would have a higher score.. |
| Completely off topic but: This episode basically bluntly shoving in my face that kokou no hito doesn't have an anime ;___; |
| The moment when the monster threw the dead body of her dad from the cliff was kinda sad. |

| Better than last episode for sure, but I doubt we'll have any more episodes as nice as this one. Might as well savor it while we can. |

It give a weird spooky effect to the short and the monsters looks grotesque.. The characters are well drawn and Kurada got a nice body ayy :P I wonder of all these different monsters will be connected somehow ? If Kagewani figures the origins of these aberrations and the anime provides with a satisfying ending .. this series might score good in my books :> |

| This felt like a mix between Tintin in Tibet, Alien and something else. I wonder if her character will continue to appear. |

| This anime has a better story than most of the stuff that comes out in this season. I just can't get used to the graphics and the 7 minutes doens't exacly help. |

VanishingKira said: Completely off topic but: This episode basically bluntly shoving in my face that kokou no hito doesn't have an anime ;___; Haha this episode also made me think of Kokou no Hito too. I enjoyed this episode more than the last, it's a shame that people (aside from Banba) would think that she was going crazy from hypothermia. But also understandable. Who believes in monsters until you see them anyways? That thing was gross though, maybe their take on a yeti? |
| I don't understand how the girl survived the first attack. Didn't the monster feel her warmth? |
 |
| well wow.. why did the monster leave the girl and her dad alive? ... |
| Pretty decent episode 2 but still not sure what to expect story-wise i mean it doesn't seem like the episodes are connected to each other , so i'm afraid it might turned out as Irregular as Aoi Bungaku did with some arcs worth 9/10 , 10/10 and some worth 4/10 , 5/10 |
 |
| It getting kinda boring now. 2/5 |
 |
I'm hoping we get to learn more about the main character. |

| Bamba-sensei going to hunt them now??? |

| Good episode, it's nice to see someone actually survive. |
 |
| Another great episode of Kagewani. Love the style and the pulpy atmosphere this creates and love that this defied the expectations and actually had a female character be smart and resourceful to survive the encounter with a monster. The monster design and the story presentation itself is very Lovecraftian which is a HUGE plus too. It does not try to "jumpscare" you or startle you with the monsters and instead present them as unsettling creatures representing the fear of unknown that is embedded into human nature. Of course MAL goldfishes will deem this "weird" or "confusing" as far as the usual trademark goldfish terms go and this show won't get enough attention(while everyone will hype up kitschy trash like OPM), but Kagewani remains one of strongest shows this season, which is surprising considering it is only like 1/3rd the length of a normal episode. 5/5 again. I hope this show retains its quality. Z_Tetriminos said: I don't understand how the girl survived the first attack. Didn't the monster feel her warmth? It was confused(since it was not warm enough to register, but warm enough for it to feel "off" about it) and then it got distracted by the music box. |

| This was way better than the first episode. Loving this series so far. |
| Yes, great episode, much better than the 1st one :3 Not as creepy as Yami Shibai but pretty decent on what it's doing |
 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |
| What is this? Star Wars Episode 5? |
| What is the point of the main character? He does nothing. |
| I wish these were a little longer so we could have a little more resolution. I did find this week to be an improvement over last week's episode. Still hate the art style. |
| Deliveries go here pls <3 Candy Kingdom (∩^o^)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ |
| That was tragic.....That lady was pretty hot tho =o |
| Am I missing something? Why did she take off her clothes? Edit: Oh he couldn't pick up her warmth. Gotcha |

| Impressive job surviving that ordeal. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this episode, more than the first one. I guess we will have different cases with the main character trying to figure out what the hell is going on with those monsters. I wonder if that woman is going to have a major role or just some minutes on screen. |

| I'm not sure why she took off her suit did she have prior knowledge of how this monster sees? Anyway it was an ok episode I wonder if all these attacks will tie together or are separate cases. |

| that was good |
 |
| Wow nice job keeping a cool head, no pun intended, and thinking of a quick way to get out of a hellish situation. The fact that the music box was still working years later during those harsh conditions is a bit silly though. |

It was a bit unusual in the first episode, but it is really fitting. And this episode reminded me of the Dyatlov Pass Incident somehow. |
