This episode had better animation than the last one, and althought it's not as good as the first one's, this episode has become my favorite. Many people don't like the fast pacing but I love it, it's so chaotic and everything goes from 0 to a 100 in a second.
I think the fast pace destroys the atmosphere. Its like you are just opening the manga on random pages, reading a couple pages, closing it and reapeating
@@ssjbargainsaleyeah but at the some time they gotta work with what they got and I imagine convincing them to do a series of this with the hell it took for just 4 episodes is the same bs
But it makes zero sense. Yes it's a crazy unhinged story but it actually made a hell of a lot more sense in the manga. They've really messed up the whole thing. Jack in the box was my favourite chapter and it was reduced to a jumpscare last episode and was thrown in at the end of this one for no reason at all and makes no sense as to how he even found them since he doesn't have to go looking for them in the manga. It's really stupid what they have done
In the part about the pottery, they omitted the explanation from the manga. The reason why is because Kirie's father started getting the clay for the pottery from Dragonfly Pond, which he lives right next to. Remember that the cremation smoke keeps forming a spiral and then the spiral settles into Dragonfly Pond. This means the deceased are getting absorbed into the pottery that Kirie's father makes, and their spirits are in the kiln and in the pottery. Another important omitted part (from earlier episodes, although maybe they will put it in the last episode since they are mixing up the timeline) is that Kirie and Shuichi were seriously thinking about leaving town (eloping) to escape the town's spirals at various points. At first, Kirie was unwilling to leave her family behind because she could not convince them to also leave. Then, when things got more serious and Kirie was willing to leave at any cost, she was already infected by the spiral to the extent that if she tries to leave town, her body starts to collapse (she weakens and then can't breathe).
They're cutting a ton of stuff at this point and it's really undercutting the story. I had to get out my manga to check what was being omitted this time and I didn't feel like I needed to do that for episode 2. The wart story in particular has a bunch of cut scenes, including the scene where the dad finds a spiral-shaped wart on his hand which is the entire context for the monster story.
This is why I'm so disappointed in the story change and cutting. No one has a clue what's going on in each episode, not because it's a mystery, it's because they changed the order of chapters and cut out a ton of stuff
A spiral has two ends, right? It can either be spiralling inward or outward. Shuichi started outside of the town and then moved there. He's slowly getting pulled into the spiral. But Kirie is an outward spiral. She's the main character, so that makes her the center. And she also lives at the center of town. And she was completely oblivious to the curse. But she is gradually becoming aware of it. So Shuichi and Kirie both start at either end of a spiral and they are part of a spiral that's going outward and inward at the same time. Or maybe it's two separate spirals that are overlapping each other.
If you look very closely, you can see every character wobble a bit in a spiral constantly also they cut it out but the babies cry when Kirie gets sus of them and the crying pains her ears like the sirens do for suichi also the doctor explains in the manga that the mom ruined her balance when stabbing her ear and is in a state of vertago where she feels like she’s constantly spinning in a spiral!
and rip to dudes mom man I respect that she tried to hold on as long as she could lol.. I completely understand her boyfriend spiraling.. mans lost his parents dude ain’t got no sleep, ain’t ate no food or nothing 🤦🏻♂️
Okay my expectationn was almost 0 coming into the 3rd episode but tbh the animation in this one is WAY better than the 2nd eps. That episode must've been a fever dream that never happened. We're so back! (Copium)
They haven't explain why shuichi's Mother had a spining sensation after she destroyed her ears. It is because ears is not only an organ which allow you to ear but also permit stamina. So she is living her living hell actually, and make one with the spiral➰️➿️🐚🦟🐌
The “ far fetched “ line by the doctors is crazy when theres been multiple people dying of in imposible contortions for the human body hair coming alive and hypnotizing people and people turning into creepy things like snail people and a couple becoming an over 20 conjoined human rope that slider of into the sea. So confused with this anime.
The events in manga happens over time. For the anime, they changed things around (mostly the order in which events happens) to keep the pace up and cram as much as possible. It is a slow decent into madness but it is concentrated and fast paced in this version
This was a wild ass episode 😂😂 so much shit happened but the typical “lemme check out what’s going on” bullshit pissed me off 😂 I’m not checking on nothing I’m getting out of dodge
Since uzumaki is ending next week , can do Yakuza fiance 🙏🏻, it's NOOOT a typical romance, I mean it's rated 17+ on Croll tbh idk why so many Reactors don't know bout it its already getting lots of hit tweets after ep1
@@itsmusic3366 i mean that's why I said not a typical romance, but since the main story revolves around their relationship many ppl just think it's romance but even with the first scene alone u can tell its not a normal highschool romance in any way lol
I've never seen a show fall off as hard as this. They took a jump from a diving board in Episode one and drilled straight into the center of the earth, missed, and then kept going. The animation quality was terrible, the setups and payoffs were not well handled (Jack in the Box boy just being a throwaway scene), the pacing was rushed, the hurricane scene felt like it was 'pencils down' when they ran out of budget, and the show stopped feeling creepy and suspenseful because it just turned into a bunch of random unrelated jump scares. It felt like Episode 1 was the polished product they showed off to investors while the rest of the show they were working on in the back of the shed was Repo Man: The Genetic Opera. EDIT: So I did a bit more research on this, and it seems the director for episode 1, Hiroshi Nagahama, was fired and replaced after completing the episode. Possibly because the financiers thought his methods (rotoscoping, 3d capture and hand animation on top) were too expensive, and replaced him with someone cheaper. So it looks like episodes 2 & 3 weren't outliers, and the series will never regain the heights it reached with episode 1. Nagahama also did Mushi-shi, so people who loved that show will understand why episode 1 felt so good and the following episodes felt so incongruent.
tbf the end of the hurricane story is like that in the manga too, they only cut her narrating that they were fished out of the pond. The Jack in the Box scene is also mostly the same but rushed and spliced in awkwardly. They needed to flesh it out more but instead they're cutting scenes and rushing the action. The first scene with the mosquito made me laugh. Mario Paint style animation.
@@JTaylortrois Yeah, but the hurricane scene is animated and timed poorly. It looks cheap, and resolves poorly. This could and should have been an episode ender. The suspense of what happens to Kirie and Saito is completely neutered by revealing it in the very next scene. At the very least, they should have lingered on the devastation first to keep the viewer guessing. Show structure and episode count hurt the narrative here.
While the animation has picked up a little. The story itself is completely messed up and any sense in made in the manga doesn't make any sense in the anime. Shuichi shouldn't even be at the hospital in the pregnancy chapter. Two beginning chapters are now mixed in with middle chapters. It makes no sense adding the ending of the jack in the box chapter to this episode and during the typhoon? It's all over the place
Hey, could you watch "Yakuza fiance" it is underrated. It has been airing on every Monday, tomorrow the second episode is coming. If you watch it's gonna be 100% worth it, and I think it is a mature romance anime.🆗
Since you will be reading the manga after this end can you do a review of the manga as well? Kinda wanna know what do you think bout it as welll oh and good reaction as always!
Well would love to see and listen to your opinions on it since you start with the anime first then manga. Maybe you can review bout the arts and how the stories goes in the manga as well since in the anime they change the plot and emit lots of explanation. The gory part in manga is much better especially jack in a box chapter and the hospital arc. Btw the typhoon voice actor is by Junji ito sensei which thats make me like this episode more 😂 and let us know if youre digging junji ito story as well and if you do what is your next manga to read maybe remina? Or human chair? And thank youu for the reply!
The editing on this episode is very choppy. It felt like Robot Chicken kind of abruptness. They just kept jumping back and forth between narratives like they're trying to cram as much as possible into their limited time (which they are: this is only a 4-episode miniseries). I'm still enjoying the show, but all the atmosphere of the manga has been lost due to the rushed pacing here. In this episode, we had mosquito women and mushroom placenta, spirit pottery, ear canal horror, infatuated typhoon, spike monster, and Jack in the Box. It's like a CliffsNotes summary of multiple chapters presented as list items.
Urgh... what a disappointment. It started so strong... "The mosquito" was my favorite chapter in the manga and they managed to ruin it. I still think 4 episodes could have worked IF they were 40 min-1hour long But they keep rushing to the major horror bits without building up the tension. They barely use the music or the sound effect. And of course... there's the animation. I don't know what kind of production hell they've been though, but it's really hard to watch.
I thought hounted house movies ar dumb but after watching this hell no , how can be someone that dumb i mean your parents dies your teacher and classmates become snails, and you still living in this city hell no dude, I will run for my life even if this happens in my city
I loved this episode. I dont understand the complaints about pacing bc its the same pacing as the first episode. If you think things have escalated too fast... 🫡 weve only just gotten started...

Yeah she destroyed her sense of equilibrium when she stabbed her cochlea
11:08 Typhon is exactly the same as a hurricane. If it’s near Japan it’s a Typhon, if it’s near USA it’s a hurricane.
oh, i figured they had a difference somehow
Pacific Ocean = Typhoon
Atlantic Ocean = Hurricane
Indian Ocean = Cyclone
@@KebusuNiisan not everything in the pacific is called a Typhoon, storms that form near California are still hurricanes.
Everything happens too fast cuz they only 4 episodes 😭🙏🙏

A line that wasn't in the manga
Everyone in this animation is trapped by a spiral.
This was a wild ass episode 😂😂 so much shit happened but the typical “lemme check out what’s going on” bullshit pissed me off 😂 I’m not checking on nothing I’m getting out of dodge
Im glad that this episode have good animation at least. Episode 2 was diabolical
I feel like a few chapters could’ve been skipped for the sake of streamlining the plot in this adaptation.
Good animation Thanks goooood😢😢😢😢😢

Tbh As a manga reader, I don't even consider it romance, but if I have to say it, I think "dark romance" is a better term
@@itsmusic3366 i mean that's why I said not a typical romance, but since the main story revolves around their relationship many ppl just think it's romance but even with the first scene alone u can tell its not a normal highschool romance in any way lol
Alot better and unique than maido sama & 365 days imo 🤷🏽
This series is cooked
Ito is a savage, I love it. Especially since my family name is Ito as well.
The anime not explicitly stating that in destroying her inner ear, shuichi's mother through her body in a constant state of vertigo is a crime.
She needed to die is wild 😂😂😂

It's too bad that the E2 and E3 fell so far off of E1. This has dropped from a 9 to a 7 for me.
I think I'll probably skip the last episode because of the things that will happen . On a side note, try checking out negative positive angler.
