Yuru, ormai non si fida manco della sua ombra.

It's 14ep in and we have reached a bit of slow down on the anime. What didn't change is the amazing way the author is using each day fully in a chapter/EP. The author doesn't rely on cheap days skip to go over story progressions and allow the audience to really experience MC transformation.

Niceeee. Impactful episode. You can see that everyone is kinda doubting their own beliefs and own organisation. Yuru's character development was sad but necessary.

The emotional weight of this episode really hits hard. It is incredibly satisfying to finally get some answers to mysteries that have been around since the beginning of the series. Oshirasama still has such a calming and divine presence, and I am really curious to see what the group decides to do next.

A little slow-paced, but it was necessary. The buildup was really good. Honestly, it was still interesting despite how much this episode leaned into dialogue. This is how a slow revelation should be done. Such a good story flow in this one. T^T

This episode was such a mix of emotions. It was pretty much dialogue-driven, but I did not expect it to be this mind-blowing and a little heartbreaking for Yuru. 😭 The way this one was delivered was just really good.

When you think this episode doesn't have much impact, well, think again. This was a really good episode. The story progression and the way it was laid out were done well. It wasn't flashy, and it didn't make me gasp, but it was a slow and beautiful surprise.

Un episodio en donde se descubre una impactante verdad que provoca que Yuru comience a tener una crisis sobre su identidad, lo que le da más profundidad al personaje y al anime en general. Un episodio en general enfocado más a los misterios y a dar respuestas a estos que en acción.

Excellent episode, a little calmer and setting up the mood for all the next exciting parts. I love how the cast take turns in educating Yuru about the Grounds' "customs". it's pretty cute that even after a while, Yuru still needs to adjust to everything here. The second half of the episode really has a lot of feels to it - prepare some tissues when you do!

That plot twist was beyond anything I could have expected! Yuru is smarter (or perhaps "observant" is a better word) than I anticipated. The plot is getting even more interesting than it already is, and I'm looking forward to the next episodes!

The way those gray tsugai are obsessed with that pug because it bled on them is hilarious and it really shows how weird the contracts in this world can get

I actually felt so bad for Yuru when he noticed Danji didn't have a shadow and finding out your whole life was a scripted lie in that village is just brutal

it is crazy how the show went from Yuru being confused about city fishing laws to him finding out his entire existence was a lie managed by guardian spirits disguised as his friends and neighbors and the fact that Danji was just a tool to keep him contained in the mountains makes everything from the first few episodes feel so much darker now

The scene with the fish and the pigeons was funny at first, but it quickly turned dark once that horse landed and ruined everything for Yuru

It is so messed up that the village elders replaced his actual family with tsugai, and now Yuru has nobody he can actually trust anymore

I really want to see Left and Right actually fight someone soon because they are supposed to be legendary but they just stand around lately

the way Yuru used the shadow trick to catch Danji was so smart and it made the betrayal feel way more personal when the truth came out

you can tell Yuru is going to be different now that he knows everyone in the village was just watching him like a prisoner in a cage

you really have to feel for Yuru after finding out his whole childhood was a staged play and even his mom figure was just another actor

seeing Danji turn into that creepy little spirit was such a gut punch because you could tell Yuru actually cared about him like a brother
