Kiken na Mori Onigokko

Watching a tiny girl like Alps try to navigate those giant beasts was stressful and the animation on the boar part was surprisingly detailed

The transition from the forest monsters to that group of men was a huge shift and it makes the situation for Alps look even more hopeless

I felt so bad for Alps when she dropped the medicinal herb and that boar just came out of nowhere to ruin everything

The monkey scene was actually crazy and the way Alps just wants to save her sister makes it feel so much darker when things go south in that forest

The lighting in the forest looked so eerie and it made the encounter with the group of men feel so much more dangerous than the animals

Watching her talk to herself about her sister while being surrounded by those monsters was a weirdly sad touch for something like this

I played the x-rabbit game before this came out so seeing Alps finally animated was a trip, but the way they handled the boar scene was way more graphic than the original sprites ever were and it actually made her desperation for that herb feel more grounded even though the situation is obviously meant to be over the top

The glossy pink look on her skin against the dark background of the woods looked incredible during the part where she was resting after the first attack

My stomach actually turned when the monkey started its business because the animation was way too fluid and detailed for its own good

That transition from the quiet forest to the boar attack was so jarring and the sound design during that scene was really heavy

The way that monkey just came out of nowhere was actually terrifying and the animation on its fur looked surprisingly good for this kind of show

I think the contrast between her innocent mission for the medicinal herb and the actual brutality of those creatures in the forest made the whole episode feel way more intense than I expected

Seeing those dubious guys show up at the end was such a dark turn, especially after she already dealt with the animals

The weight of that boar landing on her was a lot more brutal than the cute art style suggested it would be

Alps just wants to save her sister but the forest is absolutely unforgiving, and seeing her get cornered by that monkey made the stakes feel way higher than a typical quest. The art really highlights how small she is compared to those beasts, and things only get worse when those sketchy guys show up at the very end

Those men at the end of the episode seem way more dangerous than the animals and they really caught her off guard

The contrast between her trying to be a good sister and the way the forest treats her is pretty dark and that boar scene is brutal

Watching her walk through that dark forest alone is stressful and then the boar just comes out and pins her down

I felt so bad for Alps when she was just trying to find that herb for her sister and that huge monkey showed up out of nowhere

The plot about her sister is a bit thin and seeing more of their actual relationship first would have helped
