| Hmm their deaths was meaningless. Also lol.. 3 assassins out in one episode. |

JzargoM said: Also for a show about assassins, it took them long enough to kill someone. I was expecting Mirai Nikki, and I'm not getting Mirai Nikki. This is closer to Another than Mirai Nikki, although both of those have supernatural in it, Mirai Nikki also got 26eps rather than 13 to fully flesh out the story so it's hard to compare. Jonesy974 said: Since it's a battle royal style anime, I was expecting some insane mind-fuck story altering plot twists like in Mirai Nikki...sadly this is not the case whatsoever. hey there's still like 6 more eps so maybe we'll get a twist at the end. It was never some world-altering plot though anyways. |

| The major problem I see in this anime is the poor execution, which was more visible in this ep. That said, I really liked the idea behind this episode in particular, if only it had a better execution. Still, favourite episode so far. And poor glasses girl (whatever was her name?), all other assassins so far had a theme and a meaning to their characters, except her (unless she comes back). |

ao_no_exo said: Hmm their deaths was meaningless. Also lol.. 3 assassins out in one episode. I don't think their deaths were "meaningless" per se. If they had both gotten out alive (through failing their assassination attempts), they likely wouldn't have been able to live happily with each other. As Azuma said, they are both assassins, and mutual enemies at that. There is also the undeniable fact that Hitsugi killed Chitaru's teacher's daughter. Even if they got out and Chitaru spared Hitsugi's life, Hitsugi likely wouldn't be able to live with the guilt (since she treasures Chitaru so much), and Chitaru would have a hard time looking at Hitsugi the same way. With Hitsugi being a serial killer already and Chitaru's fierce loyalty to her teacher, they likely would've ended up fighting each other anyway. I guess in a way, their deaths were pretty pointless to the story as a whole though. Meanwhile, I'm not convinced that Shiena is dead. She still has an ending song and it's not like a lot of poison entered her body either. |
| (-_- #) what the fuck was that? It had potential, but failed. No explanation, no back story? Why was she angel trumpet? Why did she kill that girl? Why did she want to be killed? Too many questions with zero answers. |
Kouhai-tan said: I know all that but it was meaningless.. there are stuff that could have been done. Hitsugi kills for her own needs not for money and not for others so why kill herself? And Chitaru wanted to bring a smile back to her sensei, was she able to do so by suicide? I doubt it. There are too many plot holes so to say xD.ao_no_exo said: Hmm their deaths was meaningless.

She still has an ending song and it's not like a lot of poison entered her body either. Even though I understand they 2 "loved" each other it did not seem to be such a powerful love to kill themselves, not like Romeo and Juliet. As of Shiena.. it doesn't matter if she is dead or not (though by what I understood from the anime she is not) but it doesn't matter because she already gave her letter of "look behind I'm gonna kill you in 48h" and she failed by being sent to the hospital and she definitely did not get out of there in time as Hitsugi gave her letter at the same time and her time limit passed a few hours after she died. |
|
| Wow... 3 people died in this episode... I feel bad for Shiena though. I mean seriously, she didn't even get to do that much and she's gone already. Any way, good ending though, kinda hoped for it and it happened. |
I am currently breathing passionately on you trachea. |
| although i do agree the character development wasn't enough and too rushed for namatame, & kirigaya, i did enjoy this episode, the ending was quite sad regardless. |
 |
| lolwat I felt nothing when they died. Nothing. |
| Six episodes and Tokaku-san's still a virgin assassin. Maybe she'll actually kill one of her classmates later on in the series. Kaiba metioned something about how to slice watermelons properly in the preview. Just who would be next? (Hopefully not Banba, yet.) |
| So cheesy & so predictable... it would have been a far more powerful scene had these two been build up better. All this time I thought they were already related in some way, turns out they were strangers who were attracted to each other. As many have experienced, I too felt nothing when they died. There's also the question as to how someone like Chitaru who's acquainted with decent people (teachers and lawyers) became an assassin in the first place. It's the same question as to how a girl with seemingly normal upbringing like Haruki was even an assassin. It's almost like they couldn't find enough people and just picked random people with some fighting ability. |
 |
| Well... that escalated quite quickly.... |
| Wow, that was a really sad ending to the episode. |
 |
| 3 gone just like that. Executed very well ;-; What a sad ending :'( Chitaru and Hitsugi :( |
 |
| meh lame episode |
| I think I was supposed to feel something at the end of the episode *shrugs* This show is really in dire need of character development. I like Chitaru a lot and it's such a waste that her death seemed meaningless :/ Shiena's elimination was kind of an unexpected comedic relief haha. She issues the notice, gets done in by Hitsugi, gets hospitalized...oops time's up you're out of the game lmao. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| ok i guess this was a triple kill this series is getting worse way too fast in this episode everything was too predictable and they are killing characters without even letting us know them also... that teacher is really a retard xD |

I don't think we'll ever get anything meaningful from this anime if they keep up the "Assassination of the week" formula. |
| 3 out in 1 episode? The herd just got culled rather quickly. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Wow, I didn't expect that. Pretty cool how their emotions fit the characters in the play. A bit silly though |
 |
| Oh the irony. At the becoming of the episode, I actually thought that Kirigaya was going to kill Namatame, but I prefer the ending they went with better. Since they eliminated 3 people this week, something big is probably going to happen soon, but its too bad that Kenmochi didn't get to have her own ending theme. |
| Wow, that was fast and I don't think I like it. The episode was pretty lame. retepeters said: in this episode everything was too predictable and they are killing characters without even letting us know them I agree. In my opinion, it's the big and only problem of this episode. |
 |
| Well, I didn't see that coming. Oh well, the second couple of the series is out. The episode as such was ok I guess. |
 |
| None of the actions by any of these character make any sense. Also, I didn't realize I was watching shoujo-ai when I started watching this show at first (synposis seemed kinda interesting). Once I did I had watched too much to stop : D Dunno whether to drop or not. |

| Perfect timing on the leaf censor.. ._. the way they adapted from the current situation to the play was amazing. |

I guess that was creative since it was explained by the game, but I'm talking about how in noucome, they censored one of the characters by having a soccer ball blocking what was under the character's skirt, and then someone kicked the soccer ball and a can appeared where the ball was, so it was kind of using objects to censor like how this episode used the leaf. |

Yeah I realize you were talking about that, I just remarked that the NGNL example is newer, since you said "since NouCome". Also it's not just original because it's explained by the game, but because it entirely removes what censoring is there to obscure. It's in essence making fun of how ridiculous censorship rules are. Also, it's funny because it means that the bluray won't be "uncensored" :-p |

| T_T sadness. :'( |

| Oh my god, I died laughing at that ending. XD |
| 5/5 Why should send in cow with all the rush? The plot is not bad, if it was very "airy" storytelling. People who lose potential under it. Not bad at the end of the episode, despite having a structure almost identical to the type of narrative. I am also a little sad for the end of Kirigaya and Chitaru, poor Shiena has not even begun his work. Very beautiful designs, also the animations were decent. Inukai is frightening! XD |
 |
| Well I for one think it was a well done episode, especially that whole analogy with Romeo and Julliet. And I mean, yeah, sure it was "executed" a little too quickly, (get it? :>D) but you can't really blame them considering how slow-paced the manga was |

| Damn, right in the feels. T_T I loved how they reenacted real parts of Romeo and Juliet, then put their own, cruel twist on it while still following the story. Pulled my heartstrings right out of my chest. I still can't get over the fact that it was Kirigaya herself that threw herself onto the blade. Could totally tell Chitaru was resisting... That background music while the whole was happening made the scene. Without it, it really wouldn't have been the same. |
| Holy shit, I didn't expect her to stab herself. It was so predictable I figured it would be too predictable if the predictable happened but the predictable plot turned out to be predictable indeed which came as an unpredictable suprise. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Damn, that was a very entertaining performance of Romeo & Juliet. Best episode yet and I actually felt sad at the end. |
| 00:55 dat lolicon 02:07 i'm sure that chibi's the Angel Triumpet 05:30 oh yehhh 06:27 dat leaf lol 4/10 for this ep. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
