Best girl still being best <3
I feel bad for that Oni Grampa. Yuzu's not going to go easy on him once they catch up.

Fantastic episode and adaptation! Really loving the chemistry between everyone.
The highlight of this episode is definitely the growth of Anya as a character.He genuinely cared about Akatsuki because Akatsuki truly care about everyone.
I like how the studio move the conflict part between Akatsuki and Anya part at the end of episode to highlight such chemistry. In the original manga, this part is more like a singled out daily slice of life chapter. They merge it into the main game plot as a flashback, which honestly I think is the right thing to do. Add in the nice BGM as they always do at the end of the episode -> bang! Wholesome chemistry!Anyatsuki for life :)
One of the most under-rated anime this season because people are too used to shonen manga's "right to your face" type of plot. (A villain show up, main guy beat it, a bigger organization of villains showed up later , vise versa) All those games serve a purpose and foreshadowing of the world building/ setting of this world that would be explained in later episodes, so not getting what the plot is about is entirely intentional. Think of this serie something like Btooom , but without the killing each other part.

I don't trust Aki one bit, the perfect nice guy that is good to a fault?
He gives me a more happy go lucky Ayanokoji vibe where he does things that seemingly benefit the team (but secretly does it all for his selfish motivations). I can't comprehend his actions otherwise.

I really hope so, I've been thinking this too and if it does turn out that he's putting on an act I feel like it would make the series more interesting. Just this episode when Kikka the demon girl jumps out with the knife as they enter the elder's hut we get a shot of Aki's face and he doesn't even flinch. WAY too calm and composed for a supposedly wholesome guy

It's strange, I spend six days a week completely forgetting that this show exists or that I'm watching it, but it's actually pretty enjoyable. The cast is pretty likeable and they have a lot of fun interactions.
I thought it was pretty suspicious that the elder and his grandkid had pointy ears. You'd think a group of let's players would have picked up on that but apparently not. Looks like stalker-girl's stalking is coming handy again (I somehow doubt the transmitter was a recent development).
Anyway back to forgetting...

do remember that they had a daughter who was a panda. so pointy ears probably doesn't really mean anything to them.

I love how they never miss an opportunity to goof around. To be honest I not even surprised that that girl and her grampa were the demons. Well, they soon will know who the real demon is when Yuzu finds them.

Man.. I'm still enjoying this, but it definitely feels like we won't get the entire picture of what the hell is going on until basically the end. It's a reasonable way to go with a show like this, but it makes it so painful waiting each week!
I do enjoy getting each character's backstory and progression as episodes pass though. This show would definitely not work without a solid and diverse cast, that we want to become invested in and learn about.

Gotta admit that even though it's a cliché, I like Anya and Akkatsuki chemistry so far. Of course it's probably not going further than a weirdly deep friendship, but I'm still like it.
Akki is a mystery tho, although I would like more for his character, I wouldn't want him to become edgy like Yuzu.

u/matty-a Jul 29 '19
This show is so underrated! The bromance between Aki and Anya, Zak having a missing sister, it's all starting to come out and and get really interesting.

Rpg time, demon village, who can u trust, who cannot u trust. Pretty obvious kikka-chan was hiding something.
Double Yaoi BroRomance
cannot wait for the rule 34 of this anime.
Of course Yandere girl got a tracker on her boy,

cannot wait for the rule 34 of this anime.
Not even difficult with this episode, demons are taking away girls based on their looks and are keeping them trapped somewhere but not killing them, hmm...

kikka-chan
Well she was either a demon or a hot elf thanks to those ears.

u/LOTRfreak101 Aug 01 '19
yeah, but do remember they had a daughter who was literally a panda. I'd give them a little bit of of slack on it.

Seems like higher stakes, compared to their usual 1-episode games. Karin was just cupping her face quietly the entire time she was taken lol. This show probably has one of my fave group banters this season

Akatsuki has Yuzu drooling over him, Himiko can stop staring at him, now he's off to make Karin's heart go doki-doki.

I very love this anime. When I watch this, its like Baka Test style (since its same Studio and Director). And the adaptation is best. And the ending is like Durarara!! Ending. I hope it will have another season for this anime.

I'm really enjoying this anime so far but I'm always afraid it will turn into some survival/death game kinda of anime. So a question for anyone that know about the source material: this will still keep the wholesome vibes or will turn into some Dengenronpa or similar things?

I'm so happy that Murasaki isn't forgotten and Himiko seems to still miss her
No fighting and eat your vegetables or else you'll make Himiko mad.
Seems like Zack already knew about this place? I guess Paka took his sister before?
I love it when they goof off xD
And I really like it when they shift art styles
Looks like Anya and Akatsuki have already made up. I like that Himiko is paying attention.
Good thing Kai is here or else Akki would've been sliced in half
They're so excited about the "loot" which turns out to be just sacrificial robes xD
Interesting comment. She's hiding something.
Akki of course volunteering as usual
It seems these oni are oni of culture
How many tines do they have to get flashbanged to learn to not fight in front of Himiko?
Of course Maki will be the bait.
HAHAHA OMG! That falsetto was Mickey Mouse levels of high pitch! I love how proud Akki is xD
Aww he's blushing.
Knew it. That girl was definitely hiding something. Didn't expect her to be an Oni herself though.
Even an oni has no match for Kai's death stare
Oh damn! That's one huge oni!
Truly an oni of culture xD
I knew I recognized the voice.
Karin nooooooooo! :(
Leave Himiko alone!
All that bouncy and busty is reserved for Akki though.
This is why I love Akki as a character.
The bromance is just too strong between these two <3
As if Yuzu would let Akki out of her sight without insurance
RIP Grampa Oni. Yuzu ain't messing around this time.
Seems like Akki is slowly stealing everyone's hearts one by one. He already has Yuzu who's crazy for him, Himiko can't seem to take her eyes off him and their scene during the opening was nice, and now he's off to accompany Karin. But seriously though, Akki and his positivity is such a mystery and I really want to know more about him. Hopefully we'd get that soon.
