Darn I was hoping it wouldn’t be humans/our world but I’m sure they’ll write it in a good way. Would have preferred a pure fantasy setting.
Koume won’t take that news well if that was her dad…
The reveal that their world is *our* world was a total mindfuck. I thought this was a fantasy world with were creatures, not the modern world. Damn.
Using human bones for some kinda drug is pretty creepy. Then again, folks cut off rhino horns and shit for “medicine” in parts of the world so I guess it’s the same principle.
Seems Koume’s pops might have gotten got after he was outed as the dealer for these monkeys. What’s gonna happen to her now? And how’s gonna happen to the land itself? How much do the humans know of these ravens and monkeys?
How can one episode have so much plot? We learned about monkeys, humans, yatagarasu, the boundry and sagecap. Now that the scheme is unveiled all thats left is to stop it.
The next two episode will be incredible.
This anime never fails to surprise me…
Actual humans, with a level of technology similar to ours…
They’ll probably manage to quell the immediate threats in the next 2 episodes but what about… well, all the other stuff?
Please, give us another season or release the books outside Japan. This is so good, I don’t want it to stop like that.
Holy shit this popped off
That was quite the episode. The sheer tension of it as they ran through the tunnels.. And then that reveal that they’re effectively in our world but shielded from it. For some reason my mind went to Shin Sekai Yori briefly there.
Toss in that human bones are used for Drugs and people trade Crows for them and it all comes together in a rather nasty puzzle.
And to top it all off. Apparently the world is slowly coming undone.
So much to chew on. Can’t wait to see where this all leads.

Lots of interesting revelations. I wasn’t expecting the outside world to be a modern human world!
Wonder how much the humans know about yatagarasu and the monkeys?
That was alootttttt!!! When it was made obvious that their world was a pocket world essentially I figured it would be a similar era to theirs on the outside but no!! Modern day?!?! I love it!!!
I really hope the novels get an official translation or even unofficial at this point. I’d just like to read the rest cos I’m gonna assume this would never get more anime 🥲. It’s so friggin good.
I was not emotionally ready for the isekai plot twist this late into the game 😵 you can’t do this to me with just a couple of episodes left 😭😭😭 this show better get another season.
Didn’t think they’d top the cute shoujo girl is a heartless manipulator and yet here we are: ‘what’s a human’ and then the reveal that the humans have our current level of technology (at least late 20th century levels of technology)
[Yup called last week that the place beyond the boundary was the human world](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1f0c8ga/comment/ljrb7uk/)
Just noticed this has a mere 7.7 score on MAL. At this point I’m starting to believe there’s a notably high chance MAL scores would be more accurate, if they were assigned a random value above 6.
Holy frick, this ain’t a fantasy world, it’s a fantasy bubble that’s in the real modern world.
So, the monkeys hunt humans and see crows in human form as prey. They’re intelligent but can’t speak the yatagarasu language (I wonder if what the yatagarasu even speak the same language as humans).
Crows don’t know about humans or the outside world but imitate their image and architecture/behaviors. I always thought crows were half human / half crows but they aren’t. For the bone Yukiya picked up, I think it’s an axis bone after looking online. Adams apple itself is a piece of cartilage from my small internet search. I’m very interested in the relation in the human bones and the behavior it causes. Is it the loss of rational thought that makes them unable to shift? Why would human bones specifically cause that? Either way they really gotta patch up that whole.
Also, if the weakening barrier shows ghost fires, what exactly are they? Our world (street lights)? The in between (a spirit world)? What happens to a crow that leaves and ends up in the human world?
This show is so good, there are so many questions, I’m so excited for the coming episodes!
Whudda heeeell
This show is sooo underrated. In what feels like kind of a meh season for anime, this and Oshi no Ko are the true standouts.
Idk how the story pans out, but this feels like something that’d be revealed in like a second or third season (going by attack on titan). Didn’t realize how much I liked the world within a world trope, but when it’s good it’s GOOD.
Kind of wish the outside world was more fantasy-esque but with 7ft monkeys that can turn into humans, it must not be completely normal. However, that would only be true if the monkeys don’t have their own separate “world” like the yatagarasu.
Could be wrong, but I wonder if Koume is human.
WAIT, ITS THE MODERN WORLD OUTSIDE OF YATAGARASU?!! Holy shit man these twists that this story has legitimately throw me for loops. It’s the first show in so long that can genuinely surprise me. Only two more episodes left man 😭 what’re we gonna do when this ends.
So Saku wasn’t a bad dude after all. Nice misdirection setting the underground up as some big bad place when in reality Saku and the Prince go way back. He did withhold Jinhei’s name though which was a little sus, but he came clean about the other stuff so he’s decent in my book.
I figured we would eventually get some stuff on the outside world given how claustrophobic the story felt at times and then when we saw the prince restoring the boundary, but I NEVER would’ve guessed that this actually takes place in modern day and Yamauchi is just closed off isolated from the rest of the world. Seeing that notebook with planes, card and other modern shit is blowing my mind
And the sagecap being crushed human bones is also crazy. I figured there was some connection between the two, but didn’t expect this at all. That makes things even more fucked up.. getting high on human bones probably affects the Yatagarasu so much since they’re imitating human physiology.
Yamauchi on the road to destruction, Koume’s dad dead.. wild ending and so many questions left to be answered. I can not wait until next episode but at the same time I don’t want it to come cause I don’t wanna be a week closer to this ending 😭
Wow this plot twist is AoT level
I thought this anime peaked its most shocking moment with ep 12-13, but damn!
Does anyone have a translated version of the novels? i desperately need it
