Best Episode till now!!

That episode was absolutely fantastic especially the extremely unsettling ending as well combined with the OST it literally gave me chills even after reading the manga.

I really hope it keeps up with this level of quality cuz this is so epic. 10/10

It's so good I am barely able to wait a week for a new episode. I can't imagine how I will feel when I have to wait for a new season

OST choice during some of these moments really hold this ep back just enough from being great. Was still good overall though
- Treb2 2y
  I thought the score throughout the episode was phenomenal and refreshing compared to most generic anime. But we all have our own tastes I guess.

Amazing episode but this dimming is really getting on my nerves, first JJK now this. I understand that it's a law in Japan but waiting for blu-ray each time is gonna be the end of me.
- PaserBY 2y
  True, it kinda bothered me as well, I thought there was something wrong with my monitor but nope, it's just dimming...
- wlwarlock 2y
  I know that they're thinking that since they won't have to do dimming for the blu-ray version they can go all the way with the bright effects still. But it's annoying when its this severe and makes me think "why even make it go that intense if you're going to have to compensate that severely" when I watch it."
- LightningBlaze 2y
  ahh glad it wasn't just me who felt the dimmed
- Haidora 1y
  Im curious, can you tell me what isthe reason for the dimming?
  Slue 1y
  Seizure laws in Japan. It will be removed in Blu-ray.

  Infamous episode from the early days of Pokemon. There was so much flashing lights that it caused nationwide seizures in children so they put the law in to prevent it happening again.
  Fun fact, its also the reason that Porygon hasn't made an appearance in the Pokemon anime, even though it was Pikachu that had actually caused the problem

Ngl, Angelica getting beat on gave me a good laugh. I'm glad they got her backstory over with quick. I was hoping Kafka would reveal his ability to everyone this episode but alas. I just hope that doesn't take too long. The tension of someone hiding a secret doesn't usually work for when the secret is actually a boon rather than a debuff.

god i cant fucking wait to see the other fights animated, none of you anime only watches understand how fucking awesome these fights are going to be, or how cool some of the characters are. I really dont want to spoil it, but holy shit.
ViZRBO 2y
Wasn't expecting that Mash Burnedead move lmao!

I liked this episode so much that I ended up binging all the episodes from EP 1, and boy did the build-up pay off. And these soundtracks damn, chef's kiss!
LycoReco 2y
Man the AOT vibes keep getting higher and higher. I really hope there is some deep story behind this, and just not action or a monsters vs humans story.
But again THE AOT VIBES GO HARD
- SuccubusHunter 2y
  Don't forget about the "cOmEdY" in this one.
AlexNoodlez 2y
good episode, happy he finally decided to transform since that was my main complaint so far, kinda weird that hes hiding it tho when he could be the strongest military member ever
- Azuraug 1y
  He's mentioned it multiple times at this point. He wants to get accepted through his own efforts and not because some Kaiju monster infected him and gave him the ability to turn into one. He wants to stand proud next to his partner he promised long ago not as a Kaiju but as himself. Not that weird to want to hide the kaiju stuff when everyone kills any kaiju on sight either.

Finally, Kafka was able to show off at least a bit of his powers in an epic way, even if it was just to Kikoru.

I wonder how her attitude will change towards him since he saved her, or if she'll continue with her cold behaviour since they're the only ones who can verify what happened.
LightningBlaze 2y
Idk if it's just me, but I think they dimmed the punching scene where Kafka one punches the Yonju. This happened in previous episodes too, but it wasn't that noticable but this time it kinda ruined the scene. They spent so much effort into animating all that but you can't even enjoy it properly.

Other than that pretty solid episode. I also really like the guns, its been a while since we saw them in anime. I hope for some more cool fight scenes with the guns just like we saw this time
NotWeeb 2y
That one punch gave one punch man vibes. Epic

I LOVE EXAM ARCS !!!!!!!!!!!!
skapandi11 2y
The kaijuu and their whole exam ground place really remind me of Muv Luv Alternative Beta, even their designs look similar. The entire structure of this show so far feels really standard and it was predictable he'd save the girl for example, it really feels like a "by the book" shounen but somehow I don't dislike it even if there's nothing remarkable or fresh about it.
n3trunn3r007 2y
Absolutely amazing! Very much invested!
N1TROGUE 2y
The "comedy" really ruins it for me. Even the manga isn't as bad, which is strange.
Fntom 1y
Do you have any other recommendations for this season?
I am watching Slime, Mushoku Tensei, Archdemon-Elf Bride, MHA S7, Kaiju No8, Tsukimichi, Re:monster, Spice&Wolf and KonoSuba... Please tell me if I am missing any...
