| Comically evil villain doing his “spooky and scary” bit, like whatever. Honestly, if I had to praise the show for anything, it’s that it sometimes nails those moments like at the start where the characters are just chilling and bonding. For a second, they actually felt likeable. At least they can do light moments like that right, since everything else looks terrible and is terrible. But instead of just hanging around and throwing a party for Rudo, who doesn’t even look like he wants to be there, how about helping him train to control his powers? I’m pretty sure he’d prefer that over this party. It would’ve been useful when they fell for the oldest trick in the book later in the episode. I’d rather see him fighting than listen to Zanka’s “dialogue", that's for sure. Anyway, big spoooooky guy shows up at the end. Again, training Rudo would’ve been way more helpful here instead of wasting time, but whatever. |

| This fight was good, I like the next one too, let's see if they'll use 3D on the amulet, I hope not |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| Rudo getting recognition for simply being a Giver that treats Supporters with respect is really nice to see. These vital instrument-based fights continue to go so hard. Kind of a shame Zanko had to get his time looking cool cut short so soon by Mr. Psycho Eyes though |
Ah, the evil human faction, color coded and all. Not all Givers want to sacrifice their life for the betterment of others, some choose to make others lives miserable. |
| Ryo so fucking fine, but brother what are those hips in that one shot of her at the party 😂 that aside, it’s cool to see how everyone’s accepting and welcoming Rudo as part of the cleaners. All he’s ever really wanted is a family and place to belong, he’s slowly starting to let himself open up to the group and enjoy this moment which is really nice. S/O to the supporter for giving him that pep talk as well. Rudo might think of himself as powerless and lament how he couldn’t help Ryo, but that’s the daily life for some of the supporter staff! Most obvious set up ever with the raiders. Classic case of Shōnen mc going on first mission with his senpai and it going horribly wrong causing MC to get his powers/learn to control them and save the day lol. I wonder what the raiders are really after with Rudo tho and how he and senpai will get out of this next episode. |

| Gris is a good soul. Love him so much. Rudo has got a large number of people who would look after him like Reguto did and give him head pats😄❤️ So there's no need for him to go above. Zanka is so easy..You just mention the name Enjin and he becomes like a little puppy at your service, haha I wonder who was it that made it out alive from above right after Rudo. Did someone jump from above to save Rudo !? The animation for Zanka's fight was awesome. That Raider appearing at the back of Zanka out of nowhere.. Can't wait for the next episode. So happy that this season is listed for 24 episodes. |

| @Marinate1016 yes, she is 😘❤️❤️ |
Reply to Ahohite-killer
I gotta say the audio in this show is pretty good, I especially love that you can hear the difference when they put their masks on 😌👌
| @Ahohite-killer yeah, I noticed that. It's so good. |
| Zanka got a cool moment but damn it was cut short at the end. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Starter with "Friendship is magic" :D Nice fights in this episode. |
   |
| what a cliffhanger. what was it the guy tagged on the wall? |
 |
| I knew it'd end up being a trap, pretty obvious setup there. Zanka managed to defeat the two lackeys, but I'm guessing their boss won't go down so easily... |
| This episode went by too fast, Zanka is quite powerful. Noice. |
 |
| shiit is Zanka getting offed already? blade finger dude seems pretty dangerous |
| I can't get enough of this adaptation. I feel like I could watch 50 episodes in a row if they were available. Waiting another week is a pain. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Meh, f*k Rudo, he's such a boring and obnoxious brat. I'll root for mah boy Zanka, I have a love/hate relationship with Matsuoka roles, but every once in a while he gets to voice a fun cocky character (like Inosuke). |

| another great episode it was a trap, damn |

| Okay that was fun episode but let's see where this is going. I'm interested now. |
| I had to change this because some loser couldn't make an actual argument. So....yeah I hope you guys like the new sig. |
| The cleaners are pretty naive |
portajohn said: Always with the ugly arse haircuts/hair color, tattoos, piercings, clothes. You could argue it's to accentuate the setting since they're in a trash world, but they could have just made them dirty. It's really tiring and irritating to see this gross character design all over the place. It's not cool, it's incredibly unappealing. I think the story here is interesting. I'm just so sick the visual assault nihilists subject everyone to. No one cares. It looks amazing |
|
| Really nice moment for Rudo seeing people show him kindness and care for a change. I wonder what the significance of the guy tagging the wall is? He seemed important but then they cut away. Still really enjoying this one week to week, always seems like there's so much more to learn about regarding the world below. Makes me glad this is a two cour season. |
| Gris looked so cute in this episode without his uniform, and he really is such a good guy... please don't let him die :( That scene where the antagonist slashed that guys head open was brutal, caught me off guard that they showed so much detail Was nice to see how Zanka fights when he's not endangered by poop attacks xD That staff of his really is cool as hell. That cliffhanger though, the way "the camera" moved around Zanka for the reveal was so good |
| Rudo has finally found a place where he’s accepted! Why are all of these episodes so short?? Right when it was getting extremely good it ends 😭 I knew they shouldn’t have gone in there willingly and without hesitation. I’m just hoping everyone can escape before the psycho gets to them. |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| Whoa, I'm surprised nobody thought he might be a super valuable commodity as a living Spherite and took measures to protect him? Seriously he should be under guard. OP and ED still hit hard, still not skipping those like I normally would. |
 |
| The sound design and ost for this show have just been stellar so far. |
| I was expecting the fact that Rudo was from the sphere would be a secret from most, but they are being surprisingly open about this. Zanka got some badass moments in this episode, but I have a feeling he is about to get destroyed. |
 |
| I really like how the powers work in this series so far, also the character designs are really popping off here |
| Zanka knew something was up, yet he didn't take any precaution to protect his team. It should've became clear the moment they were being forced into an enclosed space. Either way, it was sick watching him fight the raiders. Although, if the raiders are problematic, it seems like the Cleaners need to also teach them how to fight against other humans in addition to trash beasts. |
| The character design and the drip are dope than i see the creator of the anime and it all made sense shes also driped out |
 |
we got some tarantino stuff!! |
| Gris is a real one alright, he took Rudo right out of his slump, but I’m particularly worried about him because he’s a supporter, if he gets caught alone it might get really bad, hopefully that doesn’t happen tho. And wait a second, Riyo is a big eater? She looks like she hasn’t eaten in weeks lol, I wonder where she packs it all away at. And we saw the gang get caught in a trap in this one, it seemed like an obvious setup but I guess they couldn’t simply ignore the call, but hey the fight between Zanka and the two raiders was pretty epic, they had cool designs and the mud doll lady was pretty spooky and ominous, but Zanka tore that down after he exposed their methods, very nice showing from our boy here, but unfortunately he ended up with his back turned to the last guy you’d want behind you lol, hope Zanka isn’t biting it this early. |
| So in addition to the Cleaners we have the Raiders, probably not the only factions kicking about though. |
