That was sad. Yet it didn't hit me much with their deaths. I'm surprise to see 3 asassins go down. Shiena didn't even get a chance to get some action.

For those who were always waiting for this, and that love to see deaths and sadness.. There is it!!

I know that most of you "LOVED" this episode because you saw death...

"Best episode so far....."

How interesting are the Human feeling and emotions (i mean... how can someone love something watching sadness, deaths and etc..). I doubt that if Kirigaya or Chitaru had not died.. most of you would like less the episode than if they had not died...It's different when you see/live a situation without be searching for it (or do not have other way than pass through something) than when you consciously search for it.

By the way, is not certain that Kemochi is dead (it was informed that she was hospitalized and got "sick" - Nio said it, why would she lie..?). It's possible that the amount of poison in the needle was not enough to kill Kenmochi, but it was enough to get her out of the way, bringing her [Kenmochi] just unconscious). But, you guys received a present anyway!! Because one thing sure (judging by the facts and logic) is most POSSIBLY (there are people who got stabbed in vital areas that survived) to be happened: Chitaru and Kirigaya died.. =D How cool no..? =) Resuming: Don't get amazed if all of them (Kirigaya, Chitaru and Kenmochi) are still alive (maybe they'll appear in the final episodes..? maybe.. i dont know, either), specially Kenmochi. I'm being very optimistic no? =P

Oh.. that end.. the music, the scenes, the lyrics...really sad but really amazing for its purpose.. and as always, it fit perfectly with the involved "assassins" of the episode...

PS.: I really got confused (and im still confused) about one thing in this episode:
(1) Chitaru saw and heard that Azuma or Ichinose is the responsible for dealing with Kenmochi with a poisoned needle (and that's why Azuma or Ichinose is one of the suspects to be the "Angel Trumpet");
(2) Then, Chitaru ask Kirigaya: "Did you deal with Kenmochi for my sake..?" (Now, fallowing Chitaru's "vision" and deduction, Kirigaya should be the "Angel Trumpet");
(3) But then, when Chitaru are fighting against Azuma, she says: "Ichinose was the one who deal with Kenmochi.." Now, Ichinose is the "Angel Trumpet".

Really confused.. We know from the beginning that Kirigaya was the "Angel Trumpet", but, seeing the things through Chitaru's vision/conclusion/deduction, it turns confused. Or i missed something and mixed the things up..? If yes, i'll be glad to be helped.. =)

Best episode so far. Just when you get comfy with the one per episode count, they drop three in one like it's nothing. These assassins are wheels within wheels with their traps.

Beautiful, beautiful episode. Loved it.

Shame the audience had no idea what was going on.

What a bullsh*t ending imo. A play about two lovers dying actually results in two people dying? Nice tie-in, yes, but definitely felt deus-ex-machina-ish with those two gone so quickly.

Still, the best episode so far.

Good thing they were playing Romeo and Juliet and everything made sence.

Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness.
Thy actions cause men pain and suffering.
Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins.
How would you like to see what death is like?

So...this show is supposed to be bad?

I'm not really seeing any reason to dislike this. Someone enlighten me. Am I missing something?

That loli is cute but when she Yandere not cute.

One girl got expelled so easily. There is a ending like that huh?

Namatame and Hitsugi double suicide on the play. That was ironic but I will give it 7/10.

Years later, rewatching this.... That scene still hits me hard. I'm very weak to these unfortunate circumstances leading to peoples' deaths... but they double suicided, and on stage no less.

Paralleling it with Romeo and Juliet, and actually integrating circumstances into the play, was nothing short of genius. Hitsugi knew that to make Chitaru happy, was for her (Angel Trumpet) to die, even though they love eachother. Upon her dying, Chitaru lost her love and chose to go with her.

That said, the knife could have missed her heart, and the poison was already shown to be not immediately fatal.

Well, I was close to drop this series and I'm kinda glad I didn't. Tbh I didn't expect such a good episode anymore. Chitarus and Kirigayas tragic relationship in combination with the Romeo and Juliet topic was great. 8,5/10 for this episode.

I really thought that the play was canceled but not... well two death in this episode, the drama part was probably a bit better than in the previous episodes to be honest, quite good this time.

I think that was kinda accurate rendition of Romeo and Juliet.

Such a tragic episode. Those last minutes were so sad.

So, Romeo and Juliet.

Although Chitaru Namatame and Hitsugi Kirigaya didnt seem like interesting characters to me before, i liked this episode.

Perhaps this is the only anime that showed yuri double suicide. On the one hand, this double kill seemed illogical, too rushed and unnecessary, but, in my opinion, it was beautiful and sad so the lack of logic is ok to me. This was a real love tragedy between killers who could not be together.

And i also feel bad for Shiena, she was so stupidly eliminated from the game, she was not even given a chance :(

There are fewer and fewer characters left. Honestly, i liked them all so much, i would watch a school slice of life with all of them.
