| This was a very tense episode, I feel like mom knows they know. The corridor scene was tense, and it almost seemed like Mom was testing Emma, and Emma was testing her right back. Pretty scary how Mom can just lie right to their faces like that, she seems very intelligent and I feel like they may be underestimating her. She's more terrifying than the demons tbh. The fact that they had to remain calm and cheery the whole time kept me on edge, and you could tell how terrified they really were when Emma collapsed and Norman was shaking. The chemistry between the main 3 is very good, I loved all their banter at the wall and seems like they each specialize in something that will make them work very well together. Ray seems like he knows something that he's not saying that will really help them escape. Mom may be keeping a closer eye on them than they think, especially because she brought in another adult that can watch them, and an even younger child they'd have to keep with them to make it harder when they try to escape. Who knows if Mom is even human herself? She probably knows everything and is just waiting for the right moment to strike. I love this anime so far, I can't wait to see what happens. I just might have to read the manga, but then again part of the fun is not knowing what happens. Should I read it or just wait? It's hard to decide. Also, the music is fantastic. Especially the bgm near the end when they're talking at the wall. |

| Man I really liked how they adapted the Mom jump scare scene, music was spot on |

| It was a pretty good episode, but i felt a little disappointed. Adaptation was good just sucks they skipped chapter 5 it wasn't something major that would of affected the story but it would of maybe fix how rush the introduction of sister krone felt. It just felt like the threw her in the story. This is just my opinion but i really liked the inner monologue in the manga and i would of liked to saw it included, but nothing major. Honestly, that song close to end of the ep was amazing! Hopefully the keep up the quality :) |
| Another awesome episode! I love the atmosphere in the adaptation. |
| I'm disappointed. Emma just act weird (i thought Emma is smarter and will be at least smiling at the beginning like Norman) and mom didn't notice that (or she just play around with kids and that is why she hire that women at the end of episode) but of cource Roy did. It's kinda lame. I have to read manga and check how it was there.

| How do they know what a tracking device is? How do they know what a brain is? Why didn't Mama look into the clock when she found the bunny? How stupid needs Emma to be after the reasonable explanation that going 37 kinds together is just suicide, and she still insists? At this rate, no wonder if they literally build a time machine next episode, since no one cares about plot holes. |
| The tension was so fucking high! I was on the edge of my seat through the whole episode. If i was in that situation i don't know what the hell i would do because i agree with Emma that they can't leave the other children behind but Ray is also right... they cannot possibly make it with all 37 children. Even more so now that a baby has been brought to the house |
 |
| Zoom that was fast. Dunno why they thought it was a good idea to cram 37 chapters in 12 episodes. People are talking about mind games, but I really didn't get a "mindgames" feel at all that episode. It mostly just felt like Norman pulling everything out of his ass about why the demons like a certain type of kid and the best escape plan etc. I mean there was some reasoning behind it and I get these kids are the top scores or whatever so I can kind of buy it. Also Ray had like zero reaction to learning their entire existence is a lie, but eeh he's the quiet smart type and these are shounen protags so whatever. The scene with Emma putting on the happy front was pretty good and the tension they felt after reaching the bottom of the stairs was nice. |
| Honestly this episode felt exactly the same as the first... tone, dialogue. Kinda just all the same. The first episode relied heavily on shock factor but this episode didn't have it, and apart from the scene in the hallway , the whole episode was just hamfisted expository dialogue. Even the things that are shown are immediately explained. Like the tracking device, it's obvious what it is but then we spend 30 seconds explaining that and then telling us what that means because the boarders couldn't direct the scene to make that more clear. I had hope honestly, character designs were good, Children actually looked and spoke like children, and the tone was shifted smoothly and obviously. But I wish the kids would just stop explaining everything, or be wrong one of these times. I will keep watching but... |

| I wish they wouldn't talk so loudly in the middle of the hallway, I felt like someone was gonna pop up at any second. It made me so nervous, lol |
| Oh, I was not ready to see sister Krone just yet, let the games begin! I actually liked her in the manga lol That sequence at the ending...is that Mama's story? o-o |
 |
| Another awesome and enjoyable episode! I am loving suspanse, i am always affraid of something bad to happen, Mama is so scary, when she appeared close to Emma in halfway! Emma and Norman really trust each other, i am enjoying a lot main characters chemistry, discussion between Ray and Emma was amusing, and Norman thinking is awesome aswell, Ray is so fantastic! They won a new enemy, Mama called Krone to help to control them! Hyped to see more! |

stand said: Biser said: 3 chapters in 1 episode is hardly a crime Did manga readers want filler of Norman fixing the clock? Yes. I want EVERY SINGLE SECOND of Norman on the screen. Otherwise this adaptation is unwatchable. Norman the og narrator |
 |
| Great episode but mixed feelings as an adaptation. I understand they want to speed things up so they can end the first arc within one cour but I felt like they skipped a lot of important stuff and technically they skipped the majority of chapter 5. A lot of the monologues that really contribute the plain terror that the kids face against Mama was either skipped or simply not presented during the scenes. Props to the corridor scene, while it was really well done, it could've been even more incredible had they presented how much terror Emma felt when Mama confronted her especially in regards to what was actually going on. Mama's side of things seems to be completely skipped which in a way makes things a little more suspenseful but also reduces the 'mind games' aspect of the narrative. It's hard to say which would be better. That said, loved the little detail they put into corridor scene where Mama touches Emma's face. Real nice foreshadowing there, very subtle, I only noticed it now cause I know what happens. xD Ray, Norman and Emma scene was great, OST was on point as well. Perhaps from here on out they might be able to adapt at a steadier pace. |
 |
| They did miss krone dirty. There were a lot of build up in the manga for her introduction. She’s just sorta plopped in there here. Overall, I still like the episode. |
| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
| Great psychological episode! Mama sure is creepy, that scene in the hall was so very frightening jeez. Good thing Emma managed to dodge that bullet though and Norman, meanwhile, was totally out of it. I wonder if Mama touching her neck had anything to do, I felt like that could've actually meant something much more. To make things worse and more dire more for the duo(trio now, actually), Mama has tracking devices on them and the way she just demonstrated it up front was freaky. Now there's one more adult, definitely the worst thing that could possibly happen for Emma and co. Besides this, the general atmosphere and directing was spot on. As an anime only, I didn't feel as though the episode was rushed but i could certainly tell that the pacing is quite fast and it honestly, for me anyway, is helping to make things a lot more intense. Emma's and Norman's conversations and then with Ray too in the end were very great to have, it really just shows off the sinister world that they had earlier been completely ignoring. Looks like the trio have 2 months, or lesser, so I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how all this plays out! Soundtracks were fabulous, too! |

ovo4 said: FMmatron said: 5? Which arc in TPN manga do you think is that low?Sure, but if this arc is a strong 9-9,5 then the later arcs range between 5-7. And granted, I'm hoping in vain. Love the adaptation so far btw, it doesn't have to adapt the manga panel by panel to be awesome. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The scene between Ray and Norman at the end dragged on a bit. |

Daniel_Naumov said: ttcchen said: Im surprised they changed it, but its not bad. The only problem i have with this eps is they didn't play out emma's inner thoughts when mama confronted her. If they did we'd see how truly terrified she was at the time like she was about to have a panic attack I don't know about you, but I could clearly understand that this is borderline mentally breaking for them, in many ways. So... get better at reading the situation? I guess. I felt the same way. I see a lot of people talking about how they skipped parts that convey their terror, but honestly I think they did a great job at that in their body language. You see how hard it is for Emma to keep it together, she collapses after the corridor scene, and Norman is shaking. They seem constantly tense whenever they're not trying to play it cool in front of Mom. To me it seems like they're one jump scare away from a full mental breakdown, so I feel like their terror was pretty well conveyed. Personally I like it more when you can see the extent of a characters terror and how it's affecting them, rather than them just telling you via inner monologue or what have you. Perhaps I should read the manga to see exactly what people are talking about with this, but I really can't agree that they didn't show just how frightened and tense Norman and Emma were. I really got the feeling like those kids are severely underestimating Mom and she knows far more than they think she does. |

| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| I love how they were able to capture the feeling of true terror and dread with the momma questioning scene. Then for the rest of the episode I couldn't help but feel paranoid about them having their conversation beyond the fence... |
 |
oh man I jumped out of my seat that was terrifying |
|
| Such a tense episode this was. Pretty enjoyable and thrilling, I really liked it. The scene in the corridor surely was tense but I'm glad Emma could handle the pressure pretty well. And also, the first scene with Emma waking up during the night and the following one with her trying to control her emotions at the dining room were just great. They were so credible and her distress felt absolutely real, for me at least. Overall, nice episode. I'm really liking the main trio so far, especially Norman. The introduction of the new sister seems interesting and I didn't feel it was rushed. I wonder whether she will be just like Mama or not. |
| i checked the manga rtn and lol they really improved the art style, but i wont read til they finish this adaptation. |
| Another enemy, escaping will be very difficult for real. Some children will maybe die as they try to escape. The most important question is does Mother know they know, hmmm? This is such a thrilling series with a breathtaking scene every time. |

| I was absolutely gripped with intense expectation throughout, and the 'horror' aspect is quite subtly handled - which is always best. I really liked Ray's introduction and I'm looking forward to an interesting dynamic between Ray (the pragmatist), Norman (the mediator) and Emma (the idealist) - it was also funny how he believed their story straight away, he must have quite the imagination! |
| Really excited to watch the corridor scene fleshed out, that's one of my favorite scene on the manga. Not gonna lie, that's probably the first and the only time i got jumpscared by reading a manga. |
| Was good episode. I think the most maturity is Ray. |

AyumiVk said: imBones said: is the read worth it? I'm enjoying the anime~ solid episode Im gonna be honest with you. Some people agree and others disagree with what im about to say, so take it with a grain of salt. I only really liked the first arc that is what this season is going to adapt (up to chapter 37), and almost everything that comes after is a let down mainly because of the story genre shifts and what not. If you really want to see it for yourself then read the manga since you can have a different opinion. You can read it now or after the anime finishes airing, that's completely up to you. I completely agree, it's going downhill after the first arc, I'm fine witg the genre shift, but I just don't like the excecution on some part, it's too "shounen" for me, maybe because I keep comparing it with HxH.. |
| “You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” |
| this episode was alright but boy this kids sure are smart for their age you'd think they would agree with Ray about not being able to get 37 kids over giant wall with now 2 elite housekeepers. though its early to judge so maybe they can actually pull it off |
 |
| The Episode was good but the amount of rushing is worrying. |
 |
| They skipped the last part of chapter 4 And most of chapter 5 and some shit here and there Which could have been crammed into 5-7 minute I liked how they took of emma's inner monologue when mama was trying to check her heart beats |

| Great episode but I got a curiosity. There seem to be no black kids but the second mom is a black woman. Seems a bit weird since kids link better to caregivers belonging to their own race. Am I missing something? Also Krone looks creepy like hell. She looks like the witch from Hansel and Gretel. Even without the knowledge about the monsters I would be scared of her. And one question: does anyone know why they choose the harvesting time of 12 years? Are teenager and adult brains tasting bad? lihle808 said: Not necessarily . It depends what info they have available. Boiling some herbs and making a sleeping potion for the two does not seem so hard if they get the info from some book.Another enemy, escaping will be very difficult for real.

Meta_Yoshi said: well Ray has no choice but to agree with their plan at least at first. Also there is one other thing. If only the 3 would escape they would probably die anyway, you need a minimum number of people to create a working community.Emma's nightmare sequence at the start was really disturbing. Poor girl. D= After what Emma and Norman witnessed in the last episode, their main goal is to think of a way to escape the confines of the house and being able to convince all of the other kids to escape with them. Going by Ray's explanation, the human society outside of the the house's grounds doesn't exist anymore and is mainly dominated by the demons. Despite his warnings, it doesn't stop Emma and Norman from wanting to make their plan work and they also got Ray's approval in the end as well. However, Mama seems to be catching on to those two. Hence why she's brought along Krone to help her out with the others kids and also to tighten her security as well. Whichever way you look at it, Emma, Norman and Ray's plan will be even more difficult to pull off now. Great episode overall and the visuals and animation are still very good and consistent so far. Good job, Cloverworks. =) TeamDalaiLana said: what do you mean krone dirty?They did miss krone dirty. There were a lot of build up in the manga for her introduction.
