| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh nice, they didn't do much recapping and got exactly from where the first season's finale left off with the tower collapse. Sato is so badass still. Action and violence is pretty fluid as I had expected. Eh, I think the OP song is fine but not as good as the first season's. (tbh, they set the bar pretty high) Kei hasn't changed much and is still on the run. Decent start so far, Sato still up to his clever tricks. |
 |
| Good start. I really enjoyed the "conversations" between Kei and Kou. I preferred the OP and ED songs of the first season. Watching the ED makes me wonder how different from the manga the story is going to be. |

| Still don't get why Nagai Kei is siding with the humans, especially after what he went through.. |
 |
| Mod Note Please do not ask where to watch, where the subs are, and or who's subbing. |

Cheezy said: Still don't get why Nagai Kei is siding with the humans, especially after what he went through.. If he did not it would basically mean that Satou would continue to kill people since that's what he enjoys doing. Even though Kei has no empathy for others he wants to live a peaceful life with no chaos around but taking down Satou alone is impossible |
| oh boy the amount of hype i have been storing since the end of first season, and it is finally back! i have to agree that i like more the first season OP and ED but they arent bad :D |

| I don't really like the OP and the ED I expected Kei to form an alliance with Tosaki (that's weird tho) so it didn't surprise me a lot |
| Why dose Ajin take a long time to be subbed, all the other anime dont take more than 4 hours to be subbed specially the famous one! It's no way that Ajin is not famouse, so whats the problem?? |
Really liking the new OP from this series. Lots of backstabbing and lies going on as expected. The hospital scene was intense. Sato of course is still wasting folks and making plans. Good stuff! |

| Nice to see quite a bit of action in the first episode and minimal recaps. Like most people, I preferred the OP and ED in the first season though. |
Drake1000 said: First season OP and ED were better Don't know why they're doing a season 2 so early, they will almost catch up to the manga when this season is done. I just hope they don't do an anime original ending like they did in S1. There is not enough content to fill this season anyway, and judging from the preview they'll overload it with filler. It's already been confirmed that story will take a original part. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-07-15/3rd-ajin-film-new-trailer-visual-original-story-unveiled/.104170 |

Usefulness of this site is dropping like a brick. Everything is fine and dandy as long as Crunchy has the series, but whn it doesn't we are just left hanging. |

I have just gone through the rules and there is nothing about asking who is subbing a show or what's taking subs so long whatsoever. However you're right in saying that MAL has never allowed links of where to watch something, but that wasn't what was being asked here. |

These rules are specific to episode discussion threads and supercede the Anime/Manga Discussion Rules whenever there is a conflict. Do not start an episode discussion before you have actually seen it. Refrain from writing episode summaries or running commentaries. Please use your blog for this purpose. Posts must not contain more than one screenshot. Single phrase responses (e.g., "Good episode") do not contribute nor promote discussion and will be removed without notice. Do not ask when subs/raws will be released, or where to download/watch an episode. Refrain from comparing/conversing about whose fansubs to use or watch in the Episode Discussion. Keep in mind that a discussion involves dialogue between users about a topic extraneous to oneself. An opinion of an episode can initiate discussion, whereas summaries and screenshots do not. "Who is subbing" also is part of the "Refrain from..." who's subbing, comparing, etc. It's just not specific. |

| Good start, no pointless recapping. |
 |
| I'd like to review this, but I don't speak Japanese, lol |
| Maybe to explain for myself.... I watched a Japanese raw episode. I can empathize with those left hanging waiting for another language subtitled. Just hang in there....you will be rewarded with a nice episode. |

|
But look this trailer, if you dont want to see for spoiler, don´t worry for this |
|
That doesn't mean it belongs to him. |
|
Touché, The mistery that if Kai is a ajin will be resolve in the last part |
|
| Good start liked it |
 |
| Nakano is still an idiot and MC is still a cunt and I'm not warming on any of them. Fun episode nonetheless. Gosh Nakano is one huge troll though. |
| Very interesting start to the second season, but I do have to confess to being extremely surprised that Tosaki would ever agree to work with Kei, even with his mother(?) as a bargaining chip. Don't like either the new OP or the new ED, but this is a solid start other than that. |
| We are so F**king back! Nagai is OP as usual, but I can't see things ending well between him and Tosaki. Tosaki will never learn to respect the Ajin and will keep treating them like expendable tools for him to use. He's probably going to end up doing a lot of the worst type of shitty grunt work. I think Kei'll win over Izumi though. She's got too much in common with the boys and doesn't seem all that bright.

HESTIA   APPROVES |
| yeah, season 1 definitely set the bar higher than this for OP & EN , but i will give a couple episodes just in case it's me, but pretty sure the first two had more meaning and synergy. hahahahahaha they so funny, the government(s) made such a huge mess, anti-satou group goooooooo also they all learned a lesson about his IBM, it goes against orders. Also pretty sure we learned he takes the mints (they are mints right, i forgot) in place of smoking? cool. |
  |
| Not a fan of the OP or ED Was an okay start, but something felt a little off. |
| Alright, great start. I'm hyped as fuck for this. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| I much prefer the first seasons OP/ED. But the series started strong and I hope it continues to remain so. Some of Kei's facial expressions were hilarious. |
  |
| Hell yeah! That was a good episode, can't wait for episode 2 :) I'm not sure how I feel about the op and ed though. I think I liked season 1's more. |
| First season OP and ED were better. I don't expect this season's theme songs to grow on me as I listen to them more, but whatever, that's not what makes or breaks an anime. Finally the Ajin badassery has returned! Really interesting how Kei would choose to side with the humans, but it makes sense since that's in his best interest and that has always been how he operates. Satou is still as badass as ever, no surprises there. Great start, looking forward to the rest! |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| ya i agree, the OP wasnt that great, which is really disappointing as it was by Angela and Fripside, some of the best OP artists. Nakano is such a fucking retard. |
~my list
| I just can't say anything bad about Ajin, such a good story. Not a single conversation bores me they're all worth to listen to and important for the story and character development. |
 |
I find Nakano a perfect character to keep Nagai company. They fit each other so well since they're complete opposites. |
|
| Good start to the 2nd season. Satou is still as crazy as ever. Somehow Kei and Nakano have acquired a car, Them Nakano driving skills though. xD The conversations between Nakano and Kei are hilarious at points, They're like polar opposites that their views are so different that it's funny, One is a calculating and shrewd while the other is almost an idiot. xD Interesting that Kei has chosen to side with Tosaki, I guess that is better for him since he just wants a normal life. I'm interested in seeing what happened to Tosaki's wife and why he hates Ajin's so much. Hospital scene was quite intense. First season OP and ED were way better. |
 |
| I love Kei and Nakano duo. They are so much fun to watch. That last scene was pretty brutal. Can't to see more Satou craziness. I'm definitely curious where they are going to go with this new season with it going original. |
|
| It's back!!! I love the interactions between Kei and Kou, lol. "Which one of the three would you want?" "Strong body!" "Yes, everyone would choose immortality." Kei doesn't even expect Kou to choose the right answer. His exasperated expressions are hilarious. And Satou savage as always, streaming that. He's made an enemy out of humans AND Ajins alike, although I can't say that Kei and Kou teaming up with Tosaki will actually let them become the victorious ones, even is Kei is smarter than your average person. He did do a great job of putting pressure on Tosaki, and even slightly appealing to pathos, by talking about summer and and a peaceful mundane life. They have a common enemy, and they should work together. As for the upcoming anime original stuff, I'm actually quite interested. After all, I think they did a pretty good job with changing what Satou did (the building) and the end of first season. Although of course I'd rather them animate the current arc in the manga. And yeah, the OP and ED for this season are pretty meh. Bring flumpool and Mamo back :( |
| Hyped for next episode |

Same here, Kei and Nakano are like Mutou and Kohinata (I just took the most unknown duo in the world). Kei looks to be even more clever this season aswell. This season is going to be original? not based on the manga? are you sure? |

| never realised how much I missed this show. Asshole MC. Capable Villain. Actually interesting plot. More of that pls. |
