Damn, that transformation...

As creepy as this episode, at least they found someone else that isn't just prone to killing or violence. Claire is also quite perspective, at least more than I had originally expected.

Clair and Shuuichi are lucky to have found such a strong ally. This guy craves a challenge, and Clair and Shuuichi managed to defeat him and proved to him that they're worthy allies.

Been waiting all week for a new ep and more [Clair](https://imgur.com/a/0cJzfC7) :)

The alien’s story doesn’t add up at all. If he really had good intentions why would he have people fight over collecting his “friends” and getting wishes? Seems to me like this is one of those experiments for fun where another species just wants to observe how humans handle the situation.

This new dude seems like he’ll be a good addition to the team for now. Seems like a decent guy just without any real purpose in life other than fighting and proving his strength. Should be a big help going forward

Me whenever I see Clair on the screen: https://imgur.com/gallery/h8sD6D5

Another fun episode, kinda had some Darwin’s game flashbacks with the set up in this one. Hopefully we’ll recruit some more allies and find more answers next week. Have a great week y’all.

I think alien guy just doesn't care who will bring him those coins, everything else is irrelevant to him.

Shuichi shows that he can attack without Clair and the two of them create a strategy to defeat the opponent
The opponent shows he is looking for a challenge but since Clair and Shuichi outsmart him and prove they are powerful rivals themselves he decides to team up with them, and he explains he would risk his life for his new allies.

This episode was entertaining and accomplished that Clair is ready to locate her following victim for the next episode.

The mission to find and gather the alien coins starts right here in this episode, for Shuichi and Claire, to gather information in this long journey that's like Darwin's Game in concept.

Even an emeny that's stronger than both combined is a danger, and Claire's negotiations help in dissenting the thoughts of others is another risk in itself.

To think of a martial arts alien, he's a strong one TBH, and easily one-shots lowlife scums. The best part, is that he joins both Shuichi and Claire's conquest to find coins, which sounds like a hard sell, but a well-earned one in hindsight gaining allies.

Finally, this content is what we're here to see this show in the flesh.

Idk the first fight felt like typical shounen shlock lots of talking and not a lot of action on top of that the ‘enemy’ joined the team sorta expected it the way the fight was going felt way to shounen-y and where did Clair learn to fight like that with foresight to pre dodge attacks (not talking about the one where he did the weird stance and talked about his new move which is also shonen type shit) or is there something I’m missing still kinda enjoyed the ep outside of those things also thought this was Seinen genre sure doesn’t feel written to be one unless Clair being half naked 80% of the time classifies it as a more mature show with bad writing or maybe it’s just the director not doing it any justice

Weakest episode of the series for me so far, as the show continues to be really inconsistent for me personally in terms of quality and enjoyment. The new ally was okay but the episode and content itself bored me immensely. Not even much enjoyment from the main duo this time unlike last week.

I really hope this show doesn't go the same path as Darwin's Game, this episode was quite boring in my opinion and the new character was pretty meh.

Even the fight was boring to watch, too much unnecessary talking in my opinion.

I'm thinking that the alien doesn't care. He just wants his friends, and he also just wants to see what'll happen, so he will help everyone, even the ones with bad intentions. It's like watching a bunch of ants in a cage. We're so much stronger, and we can fuck up a specific ant just because.

Talking and strategizing makes things better, though. All action is simply boring.

The problem is that there was no strategy being talked. Just some predictable and bullshit talking.

I also dislike these type of characters that portray themselves as "evil" for the sake of evil and seem to have to explain everything they are thinking and then they turn friendly for whatever damn reason.

I think the sound effects were pretty raw and good and the fight as akin to how a martial artist will fight in comparison to the mad girl in EP.2. If you have seen OPM S2 tournament or an actual UFC/MuayThai fight, you know what I mean. Much of the time goes by in assessing and feeling the opponent.

The action scene in this episode compared to the one in episode two wasn’t as hype but it was still good. As someone who has read a good amount of the manga I found it interesting how the fight on episode two was longer on the anime adaptation than in the manga and was even better overall but in this episode the fight scene was exactly the same as the manga and didn’t add anything new to it like in episode 2, but this was still good. I am still very happy with how the anime is adapting the manga.

What is both creepy and appealing about Shuuichi and Kurea's relationship is how physically and emotionally dependent they are on each other. In another series, their relationship would be labeled as toxic and poisonous, but in this show, Shuuichi and Kurea are constantly reminded how much they need each other to survive in this harsh world. It was only thanks to their teamwork (or however you wanna call it) that they survived and gained a new ally. Right now, Gleipnir is playing its cards right. The fights are good, the music is nice and the protagonists' relationships is one of the show's finer aspects. This was a good episode and I can't wait to see what happens next.

I don't really get his logic in joining Claire & Shuichi, but I'm glad Sanbe became part of the team because having that guy as an enemy would've sucked haha

There seemed to be an increase in the animation quality this episode; the character's movements and expressions seemed a lot smoother. I can't wait to see an all-out fight with that quality!

New friend looking like he's straight out of Baki.

Was an exciting episode again, ngl, expected that gangmember at the end to pull off some nasty trick. Well, gotta see what his pals have to say and I hope megane girl from the beginning is still alright(seems unlikely), she's kinda hot.

Didn't think they would win, but I guess the surprise of 2v1 gave them a bit of a surprise attack. Though I feel like that guy went easy on them.

OK - so were still on track to adapt 1 volume into 2 Episodes.

This covered Volume 3 up to page 87.

Alright, so things are going according to plan. As I figured they got someone to fight along with, which makes perfect sense. They already know fighting against the sister on their own would be a pain if not impossible soo.. good on them. Clearly there's a bunch of people whore out to hunt so they're gonna end up fighting more people.

Especially the gang when they figure out that one of their members was sliced in half. Situation doesn't bode well for that girl who I swear looked like female MC in the opening minutes of the episode. With all the hints of the gang no way she'd have defeated the boss.

There was also the fighting this episode. The fight scenes were good. It didn't have the raw impact of the second episode, that one was best fight of the season. But this fight isn't that bad, just a little bit underwhelming in comparison.

It's good to see though that the MC wasn't given plot armor. Only reason the duo won in the moment was through a backhanded maneuver. If they hadn't tricked him, the dude could have beat them even with their gun.

This dude sounds like a Jojo character I love him so much, I could predict his lines because of how cliche he is, especially the "kill me" just after he lost, but still he's the archetype I have the less problem with, the "I don't care for your shit plot, I just wan't to flex my powers on strong people" badass man.
He also has the most edgy design I've ever seen it's hilarious, literally death lord skin lv80.

Not enough ecchi for Claire for this ep also the intro was pointless but meh still entertaining.

It feels oddly refreshing knowing that when you cut someone in half they actually die instead of coming back in 3 more forms, but the show is infinitely more interesting than darwin's game, albeit a tad ridiculous for worldbuilding.
Sword dude's "martial art" was incredibly underwhelming tho.

episode was pretty funny i don't hate characters even if their dumb with goals to only fight strong people

big fails on the dude that got sliced not only did he leave the sound on when he was sneaking those shots he then jumps out and goes i gotcha you guys you're all fucked with next to no plan after that lol

looks like every character in this gang has the super gross rapey tongue licking going on they can full stop with that but at least it makes it easier when they die if their just low scum so yey?

At least we know that if characters hit or get attack they may actually die so theres risk on this.
