Could someone please explain this without getting too spoilery? The calendar behind sister Crone (in her room) said 2045, was it the calendar the children have access to that said 2015? The children in the farm can have access to a library. The most recent book in that library is published in 2015, thus they know nothing about the state of the world after that date and have no idea what happened between 2015 and 2045 (which is the current date of the show). |

| Good episode, Crone wasn't as creepy as in the Manga but that "I found you" scene was great! The art was mediocre though, sloppy in lots of part of the episode and also they cut out some great info on the world and so on |

bobbyboiii said: So this is how it's going to be? Manga readers playing spot the difference and calling the anime trash? The anime is its own thing, with its own pacing and directorial decisions. They're obviously trying to stand apart from the manga. Just because something was "cut" from this episode, doesn't mean it's going to be left behind. Doubly so for all the "important plot points" that manga readers are crying about. Trying to judge the quality of this anime by how faithful it is to the pacing and style of its written counterpart is ludicrous. It would be more apt to judge it on it's own merits. What has been shown so far in the anime has been incredible. Is not a matter of "spotting the difference" Modifying the source can be good if its done right, like in case of David Production's take on JoJo Part 5 which is already superior to its source. Can't say the same about this adaptation tho, there are things that made the Manga great that they are skipping and that's a fact. Now, don't misunderstand us (or at least me), I didn't expect a 100% faithful adaptation, not with 12 episodes. I'm not calling it trash (yet, because it hasn't give me a reason to) It still does good with the setting, the atmosphere and the characters. I'm still a bit disappointed, but that doesn't mean I am not enjoying it or calling it trash either. It could've been worse. What I see here is people making quick assumptions thinking that @AyumiVK is calling it trash when he just pointed out his disappointment over the skipped material, hell, he even said "I could be enjoying this way more if I hadn't read the manga" which to me, means that he is, in fact, still enjoying it. |

And that's your opinion. I think the manga is better personally, but I can't find any logical reason to be upset that this adaptation (Please realize that this is an adaptation and not 1/1 manga to anime) is taking out a lot of the inner monologues. In my opinion the inner monologues would not transfer to the anime well at all, and are better served being half cut, and half restated as character dialogue like how the anime is doing it. |

| Since they adapted 10 chapters pretty much so far, I hope that having to adapt 27 chapters in 9 episodes will make the anime flow with a normal pace (3 chapters per episode), because while watching this episode I felt like there wasn't a moment to breath, to compute all the informations that were given (that's certainly a privilege of the manga). And since the first arc is a crescendo, I hope this will be the case. It's interesting to see all the directing creativity that's going on with this adaptation, like the camera going back and forth between the 3 main characters while they're talking in the library; it really enhances the unease feeling of the whole situation. On the contrary, there were quite many shots where people didn't have their faces drawn ... the budget for this episode was not high for sure. |
 |
| Oh he is , in fact spoiler were already around with fandom and wikipedia. |
| I liked this episode even though it felt a bit rushed. But the manga version is a lot better. |
| Krone must have a few screws missing inside her brain as her personality is one part amusing and the other part completely insane. The amount of close-ups of her face as she makes her many smiles was properly disturbing. She's not just a wacko, though. Her athletic ability while playing with the kids was very impressive and also scary. Thankfully, she too has her limits as she couldn't catch Norman and Ray before the time limit was reached. The trio have spent plenty of time in this episode trying to get a few steps closer to their plan of escaping the orphanage with all of the kids, but yet another problem has occurred, with the potential chance of a traitor amongst the kids. If I had to guess who could be the traitor, it might be the girl with the big glasses, going by her unease with being around Emma as she tried to find the tracking bugs on one of the other kids. Her other appearances after that scene gave her that uncomfortable expression on her face. Whether I'm right or wrong, I do hope that Emma, Norman and Ray finds out who the traitor is soon. Overall, this was another great episode. =) |
| Great episode. Seems the adaption so far is good with cut parts but its okay cuz its 1 cour. The Krone scene was good and the hide and seek. Emma finds where the tracking device and Norman and Ray discuss the new sister. At the end, who is the traitor in the children. |
 |
| Better than the last episode for sure, but still rushed. I'm not liking the apparent number of things being skipped either, among scene changes. |
| So they continue to plan their escape and gather information. I thought it was pretty clever how they used tag to train the kids and figure out how skilled Sister Krone is, which she seems very skilled, but it was great to see Norman and Ray beat her. Sister Krone is pretty creepy. I guess you have to be at least somewhat insane to be okay with that kind of job, but man, her talking to that doll creeped me out. It's interesting that she's in it for herself and plans to overthrow Mom. I wonder if that will play a role in the kid's escape later on? The scene with Mom communicating with this "Grandma" was interesting. We learned more about the demons, and that there are at least three farms or "plants". I can't wait to see what else they figure out and how their plan comes together, and how they will take down Mom and Sister Krone before their escape. This anime really has me hooked. I noticed how some of the manga fans are disappointed at things that were skipped, so I'm glad I held off reading it to watch this instead. I'm not surprised though, they have to fit in what they can in the allotted episodes. But with nothing to compare it to, I feel like it's been a fantastic anime so far. The source material is almost always better anyway, right? So going into stuff like this with the proper expectations is important. Not every anime can be like Monster. |

| This new babysiter is very scary ^^; but mother Isabela I way more scarrier! Intense episode! o_o I have a good idea whose kid is the spy, but I'm not so sure... Can't wait to find out who's the traitor! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| The only concern i have is that there are just 12 episodes... Still a decent adaptation so far though. |

| They did that glasses shit with that girl, it has to be her... I kinda hope that there's a second twist and it turns out it wasn't that glasses girl, otherwise it'd be some lacklustre dramatic irony going -they put way too much emphasis on her |

Almost 5 chapters in an episode.. dude, if i didnt read the manga i would be enjoying this way more but i just cant go back 2 years now. Inner monologues didnt show up so i guess its safe to assume there will be none until the end. Also why did they cut this :(  They maybe considered it too much of a spoiler I haven't read the manga, but I'm guessing since I didn't draw that conclusion from watching the show they figure other people wouldn't but with you saying that now I know how they plan to move forward. They're tryna make it so you don't know anything until it happens. I think they'll end up using that quote maybe next episode I don't think they necessarily cut the scene out. They had the same idea with Ray and Norman at the sink. Just because it doesn't follow the manga word from word doesn't make it a bad adaptation and a negative thing |
| Dude, not a second goes by where I do not feel tensed and pressured. Sometimes certain plans should be discussed in closed places, and not anywhere that is wide open. I felt like they were being watched every time dang it. Anyways, things are just making me shake and quake with goosebumps every time dang it. |
| Sister Krone is creepy af, those faces XD That game of tag was really nice! Ray & Norman are badass, Emma always thinking of the smaller kids before herself. Really tense episode on some parts. |

LiedElfen said: This series does rely a lot in inner monologue, that was one of the main strenghts of the story's first arc(the one been adapted), the pace has been good but it could perfectly fine be done way better because the skipped parts so far would have made it much better than it has been(also it is understandable that some things would be skipped because this will be only 12-13 episodes but it could be way way better). Emma is the most phisically gifted of them all, she is a much better athlete than anyone within her age range. Also later(if the anime gets a second season and even in this one) she will show her prowess. Well, for now, I'm pretty fine with the way they are telling the story without the inner monologues. I don't see the need. That may be because I haven't read the manga so I can't compare them. But for me so far, it doesn't create the feeling of "something is missing" that some anime adaptations do. I hope they manage to highlight Emma strengths in the next episodes! She creates a good contrast with the boys, but so far they have more protagonism. |
| Pacing aside, are we not gonna talk about how derpy the animation was in this episode? |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Awesome episode. I have read the manga, but the pace was fine, although they skipped a few things. Krone is a bit less creepy than the manga, but I enjoyed her presence here and her monologues with the doll. I felt like this episode was 10 minutes. Gotta wait for the next week's episode. Also, this episode was key-animated by only ONE person, of course it was not going to look as consistent as the previous episodes with the amount of animators there. |
| No community will be as misunderstood as the furry community. Uh... I guess? |
| Awesome episode! Krone is really creepy! Her hide and seek with childrens were awesome! We got to know a little of Mother's plan and some new demons, i wonder what Mother is panning, and if is really a traitor between childrens! |

Well to me, the inner monologues added an extra value to what was shown in the Manga, and some of them carried emotional weight for the reader. But as you said above its an opinion, I respect yours, so I expect you to do the same to the negative feedback. |

| Seems like they turned it down from the manga. Shame.. its not like we are watching this for the great character design. I hope this will get more serious soon |

So, if anything, they did not have the same idea. I would be rather surprised if Norman is the one who nonchalantly goes with it. |
| Re:formed |
| That jumpscare was really poorly made lmao *dubstep fart* |
| Good episode. Although they did cut out quite a bit of stuff. Wasn’t a fan of the Krone doll stuff. She’s wasnt that psychotic in the manga. And why are the characters not having inner monologues? I mean, Krone didn’t say her plan OUT LOUD in the manga, she had it in an inner monologue. |

Also why did they cut this :( I see a lot of people complaining that the show is different than the manga. From the perspective of someone who has not seen the manga but really likes the anime I think that this is a great show so far in its own right. It does not feel rushed to me at all, infact, The pacing feels slow to me, but in good way as things are still very interesting. I had no idea that they were skipping anything at all until I read this post. But I'm glad I saw the comment Norman made in the manga. Ray eluded to killing them in the anime with the comment to Norman: "As soon as we escape, the monsters will come after us. There's only one way to stop that. Mom and Sister have to be..." Then he waves his fork in the sink. So they didn't just completely remove the idea of killing the adults from the anime. It's just more nuanced. |
| Very intriguing episode, this! Krone's got the scary expressions and Isabelle's mind games are really suspenseful. Emma, Ray and Norman are still barely keeping up and that's commendable! Really enjoying the discussions of the three, it gives us, the viewers, a sense of reality and mystery into the story. Awesome to see the three teaching the other three survival tips too, it's really going to save them big time during the climax I'm sure. Norman and Ray then going on to beat Sister Krone was bloody cool, Emma really provided some good challenge though. Moving on, looks like they three have come to the conclusion that there is a traitor among them, and clearly that's gravely affected Emma already as we saw during the final few moments before the ED kicked in. Meanwhile, we got a lot more interesting info! First up, it seems as though Sister Krone was a part of the children in a certain farm I imagine. Isabelle mentioned something about perfect scores so surely Krone was among the finest of her farm and judging by how she was beaten later on is quite amazing! Isabelle then had a short discussion with a certain "Grandma", could be something like the leader of the humankind under the influence of the monsters. Also, she mentioned something about Farm 3 so there's obviously more of these human-cultivating farms out there for the monsters outside. 'Him', I wonder who that is too. Mystery is thickening by the episode and I'm loving it! Hopefully, it keeps this up for the remainder of the Season! Pacing seems just a little fast to me, an anime-only watcher, but I really hope they stop skimming through the manga especially if they make the journey only more intense as the manga readers above claim. |
