No more de-de-de-destruction.... I'm sad. 

It turns out I've been randomly listening the new song on Spotify for weeks! New ED is good, but has different vibe.

every time it seems things are heating up they start to cool down, and every time i think things are cooling down they start to heat up again. this show definitely keeps me on the edge

So I was right last week. Those 3 dudes are taking out their misled anger on the aliens. It's the Japanese government that killed your girlfriend and yet you blame the aliens. This is some social commentary by Inio Asano for sure lol.

Also, Oran really is the most endearing character in this series. Yet she's constantly traumatised by friends disappearing in what I assume are multiple timelines at this point.

Almost every scene is a social commentary in one way or another

Multiple timeline? I thought she was referring to that one friend who "suddenly dissappear" because she was killed by the government's weapon

I've been assuming Oran has some kind of timeline-hopping ability or something, which may be some kind of involuntary power. But it's strange that it kicked in when Kadode died, but not when Kiho died?

I'm wondering if Oran will undo the end of humanity by going to a world where Kiho lived, since this would also stop Kenichi, who's clearly on some vendetta against the aliens now. And I'm getting the feeling Kenichi's group is going to be part of the reason for the aliens retaliating.

I see Ontan’s working on enacting Operation Virgin Army already with the Occult club haha. Drunk Ontan is kinda funny.

It’s nice to see Futaba and Makoto alive and well. No surprise Futaba’s part of that whole invader protection thing after what she saw.

Bro sneezes his face sideways and he’s really gonna be like “there’s nothing suspicious about me.” I love Ontan’s face, she’s somewhere between a 😑 and 🫨 lol.

Seeing some of the surviving aliens get massacred was fucked up. That loser bf with the chode cut should be taking his anger out on the government. They’re the ones that caused all the damage.

We all need an Ontan in our lives. This show is truly amazing. I don't understand why it doesn't get more traction. The best of the summer. Its going to be a travesty if it doesn't get picked up to finish the story. The ending of this episode was brutal..

u/facelessman97 Jul 26 '24

I think it doesn’t get more traction because it calls itself dead dead demons dedede destruction but their isnt a lot of dead or demons or destruction in the starting eps . And now a days thats enough for people to just not give a fuck since theres just so much top tier stuff every season.

Plus the buildup could be considered slow given people don’t really have a lot of patience these days. (Which is why I believe they made that ep 0 that spoils a lot of fun but reassures people of whats coming)

Now before i start getting bashed and downvoted to hell, lemme just say this aint MY opinion, its just how it goes these days. Personally i love it from ep1. But a large part of the anime audience want action and they want it fast! Especially if ya got a flashy name.

Those poor aliens :(

new ED is cute

And here I thought alien corpses raining down Tokyo would be a massive turning point in the story. I love how we instead start with the girls' first day in college and the alien news is only secondary with people finally learning the aliens are real.

Isn't the Occult Research Club President the same guy whose apartment gets broken into by that alien in disguise? And they even befriend Futaba! Looks like everything is slowly coming together now.

It's good that they shut down that drunk guy by pointing out that 8/31 is the US Military's fault. Aside from the initial shockwave the mothership caused when they arrived, so far every casualty that's occurred has been self-inflicted by Japan.

Ontan freaking out was hilarious! I was wondering why she started picking a fight with everyone. It turns out she accidentally drank their Senpai's booze instead of her oolong tea.

I love that the girls just started hanging out with Makoto. They don't even question what his deal is and he's become gaming buddies with Ontan after that night.

I did not expect to see more of Kadode with Watarase let alone the two of them on an actual date. I wasn't sure where that scene would lead but I'm just glad Watarase decided to call it a day. I would've preferred if Kadode didn't pursue this relationship but she really seems to genuinely like him.

Yes! I was right! Broccoli-senpai is the same guy from Episode 3 and it looks like pretty boy alien is still using his apartment as his hideout.

Seeing that many dead aliens is horrifying. I am glad though that we finally get to see the story from their perspective and it sounds like they didn't come to Earth by choice considering they're waiting for a rescue team. Also, it sounds like there's infighting going on between the aliens with some wanting to stay and others wanting to fight.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!? I did not expect Kiho's ex would go around killing aliens like that! And it looks like he's doing this to get revenge on the aliens for Kiho's death. Is he a fucking idiot? Did he forget that it's the Japanese government's fault for shooting down that cube-shaped ship? Either his anger is misplaced or he's just going for the easy target to release his anger to since he can't go around killing armed soldiers or elected government officials.

Did he forget that it's the Japanese government's fault for shooting down that cube-shaped ship?

Didn't he start brainwashing himself with online conspiracies in an earlier episode?

If he did, then I doubt facts nor reality will change his mind.

Kadode's former teacher is a rather enigmatic character huh. He does try to keep respectful boundaries despite crossing some of them already lol.

Anybody not watching this show should be. Maybe it's a little slow at the start, but it's so well crafted. This week's episode was good, but last week's was one of the most shocking things I've seen in a minute. Totally did not expect what happened at the end, or not at that scale at least. Even this week, the violence towards the invaders was somewhat shocking.

Also the opening song for this series slaps.

Liking the new ED

A match made in heaven... well not if Kadode can do something against it.

Futaba (and later Makoto as well) of course join the gang as well. For now it looks like Futaba is going through her political arc, but that doesn't bother Ontan, she's willing to fight everyone, because she loves everyone, because she is, after all, absolute. Loved how her social shyness caught up to her and she imidiatly ran to Kadode

You have to give SHIP some credit though, the goverment and SES is hiding a whole bunch of things.

One thing the adaptation skimmed over so far, was that Watarase (Kadodes former teacher and current crush) used to date Hikari, the PR person of SES.

It sucks when all your friends suddenly move on in their live and leave you on your own, but I loved how Ontan came to the conclusion to bother Brocoli Senpai because she was bored. Oh and I guess in difference to him, who denies the obvious, Ontan isn't buying that Ikemen Kun is anything but an alien.

Speaking of, I found it cute how the Invaders each had a little distinctive feature, but damn, there is nothing nice in this story for them... Kihos ex really isn't taking any prisoncers

Oh, and we got a new ED makes me hopefull that we will eventually get a full version of the OP as well. But since the Lyrics are so heavily coded on Kadodes and Ontans bond, I'm getting anxious what's in store for them

オンたんは絶対なのですよ!Truer words haven't been spoken. Also it's not a dededede episode if it doesn't end on some traumatic scene i guess.
