| whow.. really suprised that kanba get money from his father.. but still not really understand what kind of incident that the parent cause.. the most suprising momeng is when its true that himari is not really kanba's sister after all.. that explain why he (kanba) look like really love her.. |
| Man, glad to know I'm not the only one who's so surprised lol. Though I guess it's to be expected... I'd be more surprised if I was the only one. xO I'm beginning to wonder if this means that the Himari that we see in the hat is her true personality, and not how she is now. Perhaps if she remembers, we'll have that Himari instead. kirby_422 said: One thing I don't get.. why where those giant (rock?) balls so bouncy... I'm fine with random, but I didn't think it was needed there. Would've been a better scene without those boulders bouncing back and forth I mean I get that it's some kind of metaphor, but I don't really know what the boulders are supposed to represent. Not even sure how the wreck happened anyway, it felt like the scenery itself changed right outside their house. |

| OK. I've been expecting Himari not to be their sister for a while now, but for Shouma to be her fated one??!! That's almost trolling by Ikuhara! Kanba seeing his parents, did that happen in reality or was it just his imagination? And did they really do what they're being accused of? |

| WHAT THE FUCKKKK |
| *facepalm* |
| lmao ok what the hell I give trying to figure out what is happening~ |
| Sucks for Ringo, I wasn't too into the Ringo/Shouma pairing before but like... it'd be too cruel if something ELSE was snatched away from Ringo now :c |
 |
| Wait what? Shouma is Himari's fated one? HUH? I didn't not expect that at all XD |

| HOLY FUCK, THE TWIST finally, the pieces are all coming together glad I pushed through that shitty mid section |
| I kinda had a feeling Kanba wasn't her fated one because in the OP the penguin on Kanba's side was paired up with Natsume's penguin. I really liked the ShoXRingo pairing though...still a few more episodes, i won't be surprised if i get trolled again. |
| I KNEW IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS YET BUT I KNEW IT. |
| I was kinda hoping for Kanba and Himari....but for the past few episodes I'm not sure how I feel about Kanba. him meeting up with parents and stuff |

| I must be one of the few sitting over here in the corner shipping Himari/Ringo and child!Yuri/Momoka haha. I'm a GL fan, what else would you expect xvx I already got spoiled about the whole not-as-blood-related-as-they-all-seem angle, but it was still exciting. I wanted Masako to smack her with that ball too 'cause I feel like Himari needs more development! It's basically a development ball so I was just like "CRUSH HER YEAA" I'm not sure where this'll go but it's getting good! I think the child broiler is a metaphor for suicide personally. Like people who feel crushed by the world and worthless and thus fall away from the world and become "invisible" (dead)? Would be an interesting choice of symbolism there. I wonder what Himari's past is that drove her to rock bottom? [curious] Guess I'll find out owo |
 |
| Wow... I dont think I can take any more of these crazy plot twists lol. |
 |
| so Kanba really does know about and regularly meet his parents without is siblings knowing. Himari isnt really their sister, but came from the Child Broiler. And apparently theyve been living right next door to the old Child Broiler this whole time. But what the fuck IS the Child Broiler?... A little confused on how/why that truck flipped over and what those giant rock-like spheres were... |
~my list
| Man, Ringo can't catch a break. Seriously, I feel bad for her. Life sucks in Ringo land. |
| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| Masako is jealous that Kanba's family adopted Himari? Ok, she is Kanba's Ringo...believing she should be the most important female in Kanba's life. |

| I still do not get if the Child Broiler is metaphorical... |

| The Broiler is a state of mind and being. It is not a real thing. A chicken broiler is a real thing though. |
| wow, the parents are still out in the wild and himari isn't their real sister, such plot twists! |
 |
| oh well, this is a really complicated family. i wasn't really that surprised because of course ikuhara would be giving us many hints about all the wrong people to make a twist in the end. i don't think the child broiler is that metaphorical. maybe in the anime world that's a real thing. like a dog pound, they get all the unwanted kids to that place. it's sad and extreme, but i think it's to make a point and it's well made. |

| I'm loosing my sheet here. so many freaking revelations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 SEIZON SENRYAKU: Hungry 100% of the time.Vzla-IT |
| Ya'll forgot that Kanba almost killed Himari at the tower? Didn't he prefer to hide his father's whereabouts than to save Himari? |
 |
| Just when I think I understand everything, they drop that at the end now I'm lost again. Nooooo, it was supposed to be KanbaxHimari and ShoumaxRingo. Assuming Himari is not their actual sister. |
| I low key wanted Masako to shoot Himari just to see what happens... oh well. Also Shouma x Himari better not be happening... SHOUMA X RINGO ALL THE WAY!! |
 |
| Everyone's losing their mind over the reveal that Shouma is Himari's fated person, but that doesn't necessarily mean any romantic subtext, does it? The relationship between Himari and Kamba doesn't disappear because of that, you know. |
| What really bugs me is how Kamba was all OKAY with their mass murderer crazy terrorists parents. Know what? Die kamba, die Natsume, die Tabuki/Yuri, die Pink guy. The only characters that still have anything to appreciate now are Shouma/Himari and Ringo recovered. This show is really losing everything. |
 |
| Haha you thought it was Kanba ? KONO SHOUMA DA !! I thought it was going to be Sanetoshi but also I'm dumb. Let's where this show's going. |
| So Himari forgot that Shouma wasn't his brother? How likely is that? Very convenient for a mystery plot. I'm getting really tired of all these flashbacks, how they're used to drive the plot forward when it's convenient, and to change a character's arc in a flash when it's their moment to get involved in the plot. |
| It's funny how the little bonding scene with Kanba was painting the parents of the hour to appear wholesome, loving and dare I say potentially misunderstood only for all that to get suddenly cut by them giving Kanba a fresh payment in dead ominous silence. So Kanba's thing with Himari might not be incest after all, and Kanba isn't even the "brother" she has eyes for after all. Factoring in Natsume and Ringo, there's been a love triangle going on this whole time and we didn't even know it. |
| THAT WAS FUCKING CRAZY! Masako saying "That forehead is mine!" cracked me up. |
