| Another great episode that ended abruptly. New characters introduced include Tamiya, Yuzuriha, and two brothers. I'm not sure how long Tamiya and the brothers will survive for but I think Tamiya won't survive that long since he will be targeting others and is going at it solo. Yuzuriha with flirty and manipulative tactics, I didn't think they'd work on Gabimaru since his goal is to suvive to get back with his wife. I'm not sure why Sagiri fainted but I guess it's because she got overwhelmed by the number of monsters. I figure she'll bounce back and be more effective and I hope that she continues to trust Gabimaru who saved her life again after sparing it last episode. |
| Interesting to see all of the different monsters, with some of them even being able to talk. Looks like none of them were really much of a threat to Gabimaru though. That Yuzuriha seems like she will definitely become a problem for them later. |

| Titan’s vibe, the episode was really good. My favorite character is Chobei… |

| Another boring episode with a lot of stupid exposition, I think I'll stop now. I've given this anime too many chances and so far I haven't received anything besides Takahashi Rie being the cutest thing in the world. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Hoping Sagiri gets better. Feels like she's kind of degrading to just being waifu bait, especially when characters like Yuzuriha has her beaten in most departments already. |
| From tomboy to sexy kunoichi, Rie Takahashi sounds great as Yuzuriha. It really caught me by surprise to hear her voicing a character like her. So good! |
| What a nice bloodbath! |

| Awesome! I love the mystery aspect of the Hell's island |
| Not sure why this show has such a high average rating. Other than the badass main character, story and characterization is incredibly generic, and animation is passable at best. Worst of all, it has a female deuteragonist who's supposedly a trained samurai but so far has been nothing but an annoying damsel in distress. |
 |
| Yuzuriha is finally here, and she is the BEST. The action scenes were fucking crazy. |

Every episode she has become weaker and more useless and appears to be having a mental breakdown. Complete 180 from her character in episode 1. There are ways to portray someone who is conflicted and unsure of themselves without turning them into a complete waste of screen time. That is the point of her character and that is how she will grow. The entire episode was about changing and adapting which is what she needs to do to survive. In the first episode she wasn't in an unusual environment or a crazy situation so she was able to seem stronger. Now she is in a very overwhelming environment and she needs to adapt to survive in this essentially new world. It is a great way to set up character development instead of the usual way of just saying she is weak and needs to get stronger. The show is saying she needs to adapt because she is strong in the traditional sense, but they aren't in a traditional situation. Her character makes too much of a 180 to take her progression seriously, even if she is 'just overwhelmed by the situation'. She was introduced as someone capable of killing Gabimaru after all, and now just 3 episodes later she was turned into princess peach. |
| This is totally getting battle royale style! Awesome. Nice to see blood as well and it not be censored to hell. Lets get killing! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Tbh I'm disappointed. Came in with expectation of strong female lead cuz of first episode Now we know it's another useless damsels in distress female main character. Geez this episode really show how weak/ useless Sagiri is. Like... If she's this weak why do Gabimaru shows fear when they first fought in ep1? She might be on the same level of the filler criminals he killed in episode 2. Also that whole beheader clan feels so weak now, why do those super human criminals even afraid of them and need to be pardoned? |
PoisonedSandwich said: There was no 180. She was only so composed in the first episode because we were only seeing her from Gabimaru's perspective. She has always had inner conflict, we just weren't privy to it yet.ImJustBetter2435 said: I am with aussie on this one.That is the point of her character and that is how she will grow.

| Yuzuriha seems really cool. Wish there wsa a bit more Saigiri. Excited to see where this will go. |
 |
| these monster designs really freak me out. there’s something just so unnerving abt them when you look at them i love it. i also love takashi rie’s diversity and she fits so well as the voice of yuzuriha |
  beep! MAL's Little Raccoon #2 made by hearingnote matching w/ sekai- |
| Man, poor Sagiri. So, if she's "weak" now, she'll be one of strongest in the future but, this island is so wtf! Also, Gabiru o homem santo!  |
| pretty epic fight scenes man i like it |
 |
| ngl this shit was nerfed. i mean I know this has to be acceptable to air on tv but the animation feels wonky and these character appearances were definitely nerfed. yuzuriha perfect example her boobas are so spaced out you can comfortably fit a box in between them. interesting episode though |

| i dont like that the monsters are that weak, they are no threat |

silversaint said: This too.i dont like that the monsters are that weak, they are no threat Flashy monster design and then they all get one shot.... What a waste. Seems like this show would be more like Btoom battle royal rather than threat of nature/ wanders/mysterious creatures like Made in Abyss. Sad. |

| best girl yuzuriha fanservice is greatly appreciated, seduction would've worked on me but too bad gabimaru ain't me. ngl animation is very mid during dialogues whereas art always looked great in the manga but at least animation steps up during fights. sagiri development loading. |
 |
| 2.5/5 I didn't enjoy the episode on my first watch because I thought that it was stale & lacking in proper direction but after subsequent re-watches, I have grown into it but not by much The action sequences were fine. Nothing outlandish. I absolutely prefer the uncensored gore though as it adds to the severity of any encounter and battle. Some saigiri moments in that battle felt way off and transitions were mostly horrible. Atleast, the animation remained mostly consistent but it's not saying much. The Suzihara scenes went for way too long than it should've. Look, I don't mind the Best Girl shine but it generally felt like it took the bulk of the episode. Her VA is perfect and In fact, the only prominent highlight of the whole episode if im being brutally honest here. The Chobe part of the episode was decent too. Again, some choreography flaws here & there but mostly done justice Disappointing would be an understament. I actually enjoyed the first 2 episodes than the latest ones, mostly because of some really stale direction choices and that's really not a good sign. For a hype battle shounen, this is just OKAY so far~~ |

| I like Senta's voice so much. 😭😭 We finally got to see him animated!! 😭🫶🏻 |
| Forum set + pfp by my aibou Rin. <3 |
| Nice ep. The Kunoichi bullshit backstory was fun and Bakugo and his brother are the oposite of Hollow. |
| Lmao the Yuzuriha seducing Gabi still gets me even in the anime format cause damn... Gabi is on that grindset of being a loyal husbando, and Toma being a pretty boy and cute little loyal brother to Chobei is always heartwarming to see. |
 |
| Yuzuriha sure talks a lot, huh? Kinda annoying, not gonna lie. 3/5 episode. The design of the monsters was the only cool thing about it. aussie2486 said: Same. The transition from the Sagiri in Ep.1 to the one in Ep.2 is so abrupt they ended up looking like two completely different people. Her insecurities and weaknesses should have been portrayed in a more gradual way but now it seems her personality indeed did a 180 as you say.Does anyone else really hate what the author has done to Sagiri's character since episode 1? Every episode she has become weaker and more useless and appears to be having a mental breakdown. Complete 180 from her character in episode 1.

| Why Sagiri so fking useless in this ep? Also the fight scenes kinda quirky. Btw I look forward to seeing more of that blonde hair dude name Chobei, interesting character! |

| Another great ep! Loving this show. Main chick seems so weak compared to the first ep. Purple hair chick is so ridiculously attractive. Such a liar though 🤣 |
 |
| Sagiri is the best girl and waifu so far, Yuzuriha was meh, but i'll give her time to prove if shes worthy. An overall okay episode, with an okay back story. |

tishan_navod said: Can we all just take a moment to recognize just how much work Mappa is putting in? They are giving us peak every single week!! ?? This show actually feel less budget than most of the big shows Mappa handled in previous seasons. Which is totally understandable since the manga is finished and it's not as popular as shows like Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu so you can tell less heart / soul/ budget are put into the show. Not saying production is bad , it's just pretty standard, slightly above average at best. |
| Best episode so far. Awesome mix of well animated action sequences and slower moments focused more on characters appearing in the show. That island is cursed as heck. Imagine seeing that kind of monsters in real life. Bizarre, spooky looking giants emerging out of nowhere, wanting to slaughter everyone who does not belong to the island. |
| I don't think I'd be carryimg her. |
| Keep telling myself that this would be better as a binge watch, to be patient and wait until it's done airing, but I keep watching the newest episode every week..... dammit |

| this show has been a pleasant surprise; i like the new characters and their backstory but i still want to know more about what exactly is happening here. we keep getting teasers but nothing super significant. anyways, great episode, and i feel like that shinobi girl is super duper sexy i'd fall for her crap in a heartbeat but thankfully my dude did not, i mean the guy REALLY loves his wife and that's mad respect right there. |

| Does this ever get good? This shit is so boring. Just willing to give it one more shot before I drop it for good. And I'm only doing that in case MAPPA kicks it up a notch next episode. I just want to see something cool. I was hoping for something like JJK which story-wise is as generic as it gets, but at least that has fun characters, fun battles, and also beautiful animation every once in a while. This just has a great OP and everything else is underwhelming. Did the D-team at MAPPA work on this? None of the characters introduced so far are likeable. They are annoying. They all have boring backstories. Nonetheless, I was excited about the monsters introduced last episode. I do feel the island itself was potentially exciting, but then in this episode you have these characters killing them all off with just one strike of their blades or their bare hands. This show has like zero suspense. I'm just gonna rip this giant monster's head off with one karate chop... SICK. How exciting. Are their lives really at risk? It sure doesn't feel like it unless they are one of the executioners. This story is fucking stupid when you think about it just a little... Why would any of these apparently superhuman characters who can kill these giant monsters with their bare hands and broken weapons allow themselves to be captured by regular humans and put on death row? |
