anyone notice that the alien mask person pointed at Kakeru which made him think back about what his brother said. That means the mask person could only be two people, his brother or seven. His brother's reaction when Kakeru went back home narrows it down to one person.

I'm just a wee bit worried they may overplay that factor. Spoiler for manga:

Spoiler for Episode 2- Knight in the Area:
Looking at how the episode set itself up, I guess it wanted that last scene to be a cliffhanger. I will reserve judgement on how they handle this latest development when the next episode comes. I am looking forward to seeing how this impacts(no pun intended) Kakeru's relationship with Seven. I also hope that Kakeru doesn't suddenly undergo a 180 in his views on a few things, I'd rather see things gradually change with him. I give this episode a 8/10, mostly because I really like Kakeru and Seven, and I am interested to seeing what happens next. |

My main hope for this anime is that it sparks extra scanlation interest, or at least... acceleration of scanlation speed.
The scanlation's 17 volumes behind, and with Area no Kishi... the developments can be a little bit slow.

I did read the manga chapter today, just for comparison's sake. I agree the way the scene is presented in the manga is somewhat more jarring, but TBH I'm surprised to see so many people as offended as they are by the change. I think the anime chose to go with a little more of a suspense approach - dropping small visual clues that something was coming, while the manga chose to give the characters a chance to react "on camera". I can see liking the manga version better, but I don't see it as a deal-breaker.

The problem I find with the anime change is it seems like Kakeru froze when the truck was coming for him. His brother who wasn't even looking in the direction of the truck was able to see and react to it while he stood there staring at it. Even how the scenes connect right before the accident happens seem disjointed in the anime.
The scene really stuck out as an unnecessary change and damaging to Kakeru's character. Personally I think he is looked down upon enough in the manga to begin with by the other characters so the anime adding more scenes for that purpose seems overkill to me. It's one thing to accuse him of lacking heart but now also seems they want to come out with the more blatant accusation that he's a coward.

They probably just wanted to make Kakeru's brother more of a hero in the situation but by doing that it also affects Kakeru's character. We have to ask ourselves what it says about his character that he was unable to react to the truck himself. It is now much easier and a way justifiable to blame Kakeru for hesitation which wasn't possible in the manga even though some might not choice to blame him even now. It at least opens up that kind of interpretation. A change like this to an important scene shouldn't be made haphazardly because of the opening up of a litany of different interpretations from the original. It can affect the entire story and how we view the characters though out it. It might not effect everyone interpretation in the same way or to the same extent but I think it does affect every interpretation in some way.

For me it's a stretch to say that scene made Kakeru look like a coward. I just don't think it was intended to portray that, and I don't think it will come off that way for most people - maybe I'm wrong. While the details of the scene and the impact are different from the manga, I don't think Kakeru comes off any worse. I think it was just done to give Suguru a chance to go out in a little more of a heroic fashion.

I think it's all a matter of interpretation here.
Personally, I won't say that Kakeru felt more like a coward in this anime... It's pretty much the same in the manga as well. Kakeru felt a lot more animated ( pun intended ), which adds to that, but I don't think there were any significant 'make him more of a wuss' effect. Heck, even the accident scene. The one thing that bothered me the most of the accident was the fact that I felt the 'on-bike' conversation to be a lot, lot more natural than how the anime portrayed it. The accident could've been done better, but I felt like it was more of a case of how abrupt the transition was. As for the censorship of the scene where... Spoiler:
To me, I'll reserve my judgement until the next episode to really see where they go with the slightly different angle of approach to the coming events. Sure, it is possible that they may 'wuss it up' and throw in the extra drama and angst, but maybe it's not.
