Everything is solid, and the pacing is still good, except you're not used to slower anime; it's slower in the sense that there's less action, but it's not meant to be action-focused. I like how they're slowly lifting the veil of mystery

Still barely following what's supposed to be happening. The pacing is painfully slow, the action scenes somehow feel sluggish, and the animation looks noticeably awkward. The only thing working for me right now is the eerie soundtrack.

Se la pasan hablando tonterías y corriendo en círculos; hasta la colorada lo menciona, ajajaj. A mitad del cap. la historia avanza y se pone interesante, con acción y emoción. Agregan más misterios y Tohno sigue siendo inútil.

Episode Context

This episode picks up directly from the premiere's violent and disorienting introduction to Shiki's abilities, shifting from shock into consequence and escalation. 'The Black Beast' widens the world considerably, establishing that Shiki and Arcueid's dynamic is the spine of the season while introducing Nrvnqsr Chaos as a looming antagonist force. At episode two of twelve, the series is actively laying its foundation, expect the threads introduced here to tighten steadily across the remaining ten episodes.
