They finally catch some parasites and when they do the JDS takes them away. It was weird seeing Lina killing those Parasites. Cant wait for the next ep cause shit is about to go down.

Honoka is still a sweetheart in my eyes, as I really liked her cute reactions when Tatsuya was talking to her in the car about what happened in the previous episode. =3

Erika, Leo and Mikihiko were left in charge of the parasites, but even they were caught by surprise by the JGDF rescue team sent to capture the parasites. I did laugh at how worried they were when they explained what happened to Tatsuya the next day, though. =)

Either way, Tatsuya wasn't happy at how things went down and spoke to Saegusa about it. Sadly, she responded to him later on that the parasites were killed by Lina, who was made to do this assassin role that doesn't suit her at all. To add to this surprise, they also got a video mail from Raymond, one of the seven sages. He might be affiliated with Shizuka over in the States, but it's hard to really trust him as an ally whatsoever.

Whatever happens next, I do hope that Tatsuya can save Lina and also spare the parasite in Pixie's body as well. Hopefully that's not asking for too much...

They sure talked a lot in the second half and honestly I didn't understand anything. All I know is that the three classmates of Tatsuya are all incompetent shitheads.

Those Parasites and the people who captured them were owned so hard in the end lol.

BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity.

In Nippon, we trust.

We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本

Didn't like this ep at all, for me, no decisions and events had sense. How can the japanese secret services are arriving just at the time the parasites are captured? And why did Tatsuya leave those three useless "friends" with such important elements as the parasites? How can the "sage" (the guy who kows everything) call Tatsuya at this exact moment, tell him everything, explain all the plot (which does not have any sense, i felt it like "i'm the scenario, we're boring, here is the plot"), and the only reaction of Tatsuya is like : "Fine." WTF?

That was the dumbest part. Tatsuya left so Honoka and the robot could change their ripped stockings. Wow.

First of all, confirms that Honoka is fucking useless deadweight.

Secondly, why is she wearing a skirt and stockings to a fight with parasites? Wear some fucking pants like Erika.

Lastly, is it really that big of a deal you got some rips in your stockings? This is supposed to be a serious situation, no one cares.

I've been trying to figure out the same thing for the last 9 episodes, Tatsuya.

This episode was pretty boring to me, way too heavy on the dialogue.

Lina is too confusing. She killed that guy in the first episode right at the beginning, someone she knew, even if he tried to kill her, but then holds back against Tatsuya and Miyuki?

Interesting episode but not that much happened.

Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

welp. i've lost interest

this anime is literally just this:
1. incident happens
2. test tube kid intervenes to keep everybody safe
3. everyone is left unsure as to which parties/people caused/were involved with the incident
4. test tube kid gives lengthy explanation and/or has lengthy conversation with someone else who explains everything

that's just so stupid. half this show is just having the plot literally explained TO you. instead of having it organically unfold FOR you. it's dull. and now it's becoming convoluted. too many new groups and organizations and blah blah blah i don't care anymore

5/10 drop

Well who would've thought that after letting escape Lina two times it would bite him in the ass again? They try to portray him as some rational and ruthless protagonist, but he's just another goody two-shoes like the generic harem protagonist.

It's Tatsuya's gift to Honoka, and she's affectionate towards him. That makes sense why it became a medium for Honoka and Pixie.

So the mystery surrounding the Parasites has been revealed. Section 3 wants to study these Parasites, right? So are they the enemy now, along with the Colonel's group? Possibly even Yotsuba.

...and the pseudo or wannabe magical Illuminati reared it's ugly head or one of it's head rather. Hail Hydra?

You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.
