That hair is beauty..

Those horns are ugly on her though, ugh. Looks like she's also trapped ;.; Anyways, episode seemed tense to me. RIP KIRI-kun Mm, battles scenes were okay I guess. Those eyes:


The OST is pretty good though imo. Kiri-kun! ;.;

A drama showing her. So it was Rulebook's evil smile? Is that golden hair woman the owner of the party? So he survived according to the preview?

So it was all a trap

The fight scene was okay. I don't understand how Kiri can survive that long with a rope around his neck, I guess Crime Edge is giving him power or something
The preview for next episode looks great, I wonder how they get out of this situation

My assumption is the rope represents his own guilt. When he's fighting the rope, he's actually fighting his own demons. That's why it was far easier for him to go after the guy holding the book, which in a way, was probably actually making it worse.

Interesting episode, much better so far than the last arc. Still not sure on how good the anime is going to be and the last arc put a huge damper on the anime in general but this episode was decent at least.

The Killing Goods are indestructible , if the rope counts as part of the killing good then it's impossible to cut.

He wasn't being choked full force the whole time, he had short momentary breaks and so on but the rope did continually get stricter holds. Also keep in mind this was choking by air and not blood flow like they usually do in MMA fights and such.

The Crime Edge does give him power though if I'm not mistaken, so there's that too.

That was weird.

Because if it was really all for 'selfishly trying to kill people' he would have died quickly already.

Essentially the rope is not that tight because of two things:
1. he was being selfish, technically, but it's more of a 'selfish' love (i.e. only he really knows of it LOL)
2. thus him trying to kill was only technically 'selfishly trying to kill' because his reason to do so is to defend her, brought about by his 'selfish' love...which in itself is only a technicality LOL

The worse part of this episode is probably because the Director insist on introducing new characters on the next episode.
He could have make the scene faster and finish the party arc in one episode instead of letting Kiri hanged for that long.
Plus, if it's fast, the scene could be made all in monochrome instead of switching back and forward with the colour and blue scene.

Oh, and Tamura Yukari's character is huge ^^;

Did that fight really have to take that long? Why is iwai so useless? Why can't she just stop saying "kiri" every freaking time she opens her mouth? Series is going downhill for me, hopefully it gets better.

The fight scenes in this show have proven vastly disappointing.

And I'm not sure if the monochrome is meant for stylistic purposes or for censorship (the show isn't THAT bloody to begin with), but it really doesn't help.

the hanging scene started out ok but then got too long and ended as meh -_-

still it got me interested on how Rulebook got that blood splash. I'm guessing the woman police officer was actually able to get there.

or maybe that was another person...

This week's episode I did not like, he lingered too much on combat that is not very exciting, the designs were good, but the narrative removed qulache comic moment, appears to be too boring. I hope that the ending is a completely different texture!

That was pretty damn stupid, going to a party that you know there's a possibility is a trap. And then going back stage and putting on weird costumes not thinking anything is wrong, he should have killed people as stupid as that.

There's the irony that the group who organised the party is called "gossip" :P

OH MY GOSH KIRI IS WEARING DOG FUR!!! :O but how can he hold his breath for so long in that hook... AND FIGHT at the same time? When he first took out the scissors...I thought he was going to cut the rope! If you can cut Iwai's hair which can't be cut by normal scissors, what makes you think you can't cut a rope?!

If I were a scrip writer, I'd probably have haimura say something like" An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth right?" and confront rulebook's justice, since he himself has never truly murdered anyone or with any intent. That being said, it could turn the haimura's tendency not to kill people and turn it into a reason, use this to his advantage since the rope could only injure him, and make himself look smarter -_-

3/5.

Uh.... he was jumping and swinging around violently, how did that not choke him to death? He was also moving all over the stage. How come he couldn't cut the rope? Okay, even if it was a part of the Killing Goods, he should have at least tried because isn't it instinct. I have no idea how he survived that long with restricted oxygen.

This episode was bad in my opinion. That whole fight annoyed me so much.

Also, Iwai is tiny. How can she not fit through those bars? They're like meters apart.

The choking scene dragged on for way too long, I even started to get bored after his fifth attempt to reach the shark, who apparently doesn't like to be called a coward. He sure is a weird shark with a twisted sense of justice. I mean he is murdering people himself while bragging about how he punishes all the criminals. Since Kiri is still alive, as seen in the preview, the shark will probably die in the next episode. That serves him right.
