Yup, it's a date. :3. Kurumi looks happy which I am not surprised at.

Wtf is Tohka doing lol. She's acting like a naughty cat. Wow. So, this was adapted from the LN. Funny how he tries to date multiple girls at the SAME TIME.

Mm, cute Kurumi:


Finally she goes Nightmare mode. That's what I was waiting for. That clock eye looks badass.

It is good to see the Triple Date part of the LN is animating very well in the anime.

Poor Shido, I lol so hard at all of the Triple Date parts where he has to date all three girls at the same time.

I loved this part where Tohka was thinking of food. She was so cute.



Kurumi looked very beautiful in her Black Dress. She is the best Yandere girl.

The ending was so badass when we saw Kurumi went on Nightmare mode.

A whole lot better than the last ep. Loved the triple date. Good thing they actually adapted this part well. A few changes like changing the place where the "shooting" took place from an empty alley to a park. The last few minutes of the ep was awesome with Kurumi in her astral dress and her guns.

Yoshino was so cute when she bumped into the trio. I loled at when Origami said she just arrived at the rendezvous and those birds camping on her says otherwise. Also, is it just me, or did Origami have more emotions in this ep. She had a smile on her face at one point in the ep. Oh well. At least we get to see Tohka, Origami, and Kurumi in their casual clothes.

The only complaint I have was the bgm used for that last scene. It didn't fit the mood at all. I was expecting them to use the bgm used in Kurumi's PV.

I'm going to give this ep a 10/10 cuz it was a very well done adaptation. Looks like next ep will wrap up volume 3.

The triple date was pretty entertaining to watch. Poor Shidou having to go to the "bathroom" often, lmao.

Those guys picked the wrong day to attack a harmless cat. Kurumi didn't like that one bit and showed what she's capable of.

Cute Tohka + cute Kurumi = win. The episode was really enjoyable.

Yoshino's appearance was random once again so it felt a bit inconsistent. Well, I also like her anyway, so I don't mind.
The Ai-Mai-Mii trio is getting more and more annoying, they appear too much, imo.

The show is getting better and better, this time they made the triple date chapter into 2 episodes, not too rushed, not too long. It would be good if they can keep this pace for the following ones, although I fear we won't get volume 4 adapted...q_q

They add Yoshino in this since she doesn't even apear properly this volume. And I'm still amaze of Origami devotion to Shidou. She stand still like a statue for an hour waiting for Shidou. And I really like Kurumi voice. It make her more creepier.

Hoping the next episode will be as faithfull as this episode.

The more Ai-Mai-Mii trio come the more piss off I'm at them. I want to bury them using super fast digging hole technique.

I liked the date parts with Tohka the most. The rest of it was amusing but still like her the most. Would have been funny if he got caught middate still I'm thinking with Kurumi there is no saving really.

Was laughing so hard when he had to keep switching dates. The way Tohka asked him out was funny and kinda sexy. Oragami ate his food too. Then that crazy bitch Kurumi killed some assholes.

I gotta say the part that bothers me the most was the kitten they deserved it....well maybe that was harsh but still I diddnt feel bad for them.

Mana saves the day too I like her as well as Tohka, Oragami, and Yoshino. Oh yeah and let's not forget Kotori.

Seriously right o_o more amazing is that none of the three girls thought something was fishy with his going to bathroom for long periods of time XD But yeah Kurumi's violent ways...sucks for Shido to have to witness such a gruesome event.

The show really is improving when it comes its to pacing and execution (starting from episode 7). My rating has gone up slightly because of it.

Also, what a unique weapons layout for Kurumi.

I don't know what it is but Nightmare's seiyuu has it. I can't get enough of her voice. On a related note, it's amusing to me how I was contemplating whether I should drop the show back when I finished the first episode. And now I couldn't even wait for the HD version of episode 8 and went with the Nico stream just because I had to know how it continues.

Though it seems all the people she's been killing so far, are with malicious intentions, and not random innocent people. Excluding the fact that she's not intentionally creating the spake quakes.

It felt something more than just stopping the kitty abuse. I'm thinking maybe something about her past that's causing her to be like that.

I think she's a nice girl, she doesn't kill innocent people randomly, but when saw the kitten abuse her psycho level went up. Kind yet, cruel to bad people.

Hope that next episode get's adapted well!.

Also, Shidou we feel your pain of going into a lingerie shop!.
