----------------------------------------
Not bad, this episode actually interested me more with the scuba diving and the music they used. I find it kinda funny (in the wrong way) that they try to represent the episode as calm and then shit happens as one of the guys gets pulled into that watery abyss.

What a monster.

So the monsters leave behind a liquid, that can turn people into monsters :O
Maybe this is all a virus or something.

This a good reply to scores of people whining about the episodic nature of the episode and no connection of story !!
What an intense episode :o
Note : All these monster are nicely drawn and terrifying to look at.

We get to know that all of these monsters are connected through a mysterious viscous black fluid, interesting.
Another insight might be that these monster are actually humans as shown in the X-ray by Kagewani.

This.. is the most logical conclusion, I think
The stabbing part at the end was so gripping and the OST kicked in at right moment stabbing became furious and the grainy blood splatter on the face and revelation of the face, omg... wonderfully executed.
To be honest if this was an already aired anime I would have binge watched it already.. cannot wait for the next mystery and monster.

Great episode, finally we have some clues of what are these monsters.

So...they all are/were humans, converted by that black liquid? And they somehow still have some memories of what they used to be? I mean, the couple of jellyfish were holding their tentacles each other at the very end.

That was a nice episode. Finally I'm used to the animation style, which in his own way is not a bad one. Still, more connections between separate stories would be nice since now all we get is a glimpse of a guy that no one really cares about.

By the way, how can they swim underwater without any air source?

Should've just been satisfied with the x-ray :|

Very nice episode. Never thought those creatures would be transformed humans. So the liquid is what transforms them? Interesting.

yep pretty good , interesting , intense and a little creepy too . basically the black liquid is some sort of virus that turns people into monsters , i like the fact that now there's a connetcion between the episodes that makes it more interesting .
now that i'm used to the animation it's actually not that bad , it doesn't bother me anymore . this anime sure has potential i'm looking forward to next episode , it keeps getting better and better

Now this one managed to intermingle the Banba investigations and the monster of the week well. Looking like it'll pick up a lot more from here on hopefully.

Yea definitely the most interesting episode so far.We not only get to see a new monster but we get some clue about their connection too. Maybe the scar(?) on the mc has something to do with the black liquid?

Maybe I will resume this. Maybe. I was under the impression all of the episodes would just show some monster attacks without closure or meaning.

That was an awesome episode!! so intense! I'm enjoying the mastery so far and I can't wait to see what happens. The rating is way too low at the moment though, not that MAL's ratings are 100% accurate but still.

This is really good, the liquid turns the people into giant tentacle Metroid things, interesting. Best episode so far but that guy is trying way too hard to be Eren. "I'm going to kill all the monsters!" and even a somewhat similar stance to when Eren was preparing to kill the Colossal Titan xD

Great episode, kinda wish the episodes had been longer and the art direction diffrent, at least when it comes to the humans.

The song that kicked in when he was attacking the seamonster-thingy really reminded me of the attack on titan song.

Unlike the rest of you guys I think the whole thing with humans turning in to monsters was unique to these seamonsters, I don't think the godzilla style monster or the big foot monster were originally human. Or hunted humans with the aim of turning them in to fellow monsters, they clearly wanted to just eat them.

Story was much better this episode than the previous two. Hope the rest are like this with Banba actually kinda investigating the monsters, as opposed to just showing random attacks.

Great episode! 5/5

looks like there's a connection with all the monster appearances so far, and I didn't expect that kind of twist to happen! (with that squid/octopus/jellyfish/kraken whatever kind of monster)

their love is still a better love story than twilight <3

Black liquid huh, we're at least finding a connection about the monsters. It was horrific to find out that the monster had a human skeleton, and even worse when the guy found Haruka's face inside the monster D: The series is definitely getting more interesting as the season goes on, and I'm taking a liking to the art style.

Of course there's a tentacle monster lol.

Didn't really like this episode as much as the others. The whole monster turning victims into the same monster was pretty iffy since they don't really go into detail into why or how the heck that happens.

Definitely better than the first two episodes, but this monster was also somewhat predictable. Almost zero refreshing/new stuff.
