| hey maybe Howard Marks is a tribute to Mark Twain? |
 |
| This is the first I've seen hydrocephalus in anime. |
| This episode just flew by! Kaminaga is such a bae. |
| I really enjoy the wide variety of missions that this anime shows, and the many different geographic locations too. The art is beautiful as always. The mission and plot twist are unexpected but reasonable. The spies are all fun to watch. I'm having a great time! The preview for the next episode though... sensing some gay undertones. Is there going to be some romantic/sexual manipulation at work? Hooo baby, looking forward to it. |

juicykitten95 said: Flawfinder said: Hard to care about the execution of the spy stuff if I don't know who the spy doing said stuff is. And by hard, I mean impossible. i dont think we are supposed to care for the spy,he is a spy so his origins are irrelevant what this series is trying to achieve is to get the viewers to think "oh this was some pretty cool spy stuff" , nothing more and nothing less Yeah agreed. The problem you have here is that this show isn't about the characters. They are basically irrelevant or more like exchangable. The show is about the cases, difficult situations, plans and execution. I enjoy this show a lot, I don't need anybody to root for and I don't need to know the characters. The action speaks for itself. I also think that it's a great show to watch weekly because it's episodical. It's in the nice niche where I don't need to watch the next episode right away but I'm looking forward to each new episode. Ep5 was great again. |

| Why does that guy look like an alien? What is with the bizarre character design in this show? |
| The morale of the story: Japanese spies always win. |
| Favorite anime of the season, and it keeps getting more thrilling. |

Kaminaga http://jokergame.jp/character/kaminaga.html and the spy they will focuse on next ep seems to be Tazaki http://jokergame.jp/character/tazaki.html and in the 7th episode I think it will be Amari(?) http://jokergame.jp/character/amari.html |

- I only draw freestyle! - |
| My favorite episode so far. I'm finally getting interested lol. It was probably my anime slump that got me thinking that ep2 & 3 sucked... Need to rewatch. |
| I loved this episode. Best one thus far. Colonel Yuuki is shaping up to be one of my favorite characters, that shrewd bastard. |
| Colonel Yuuki let the spy get caught on purpose, not to fck over the British but to convince the Japanese ministry to encode their sht. The British spymaster looked like a pushover, but the sleeper spy was the key. |
 |
| That British Spymaster man is one scary and hideous man. I would gulp having that ugly pie in front of me. Anyway, great episode. Things made perfect sense at the end. |
  |
| I just love how deep these spy mission go, even when I think it is over or the cover has been blown the spies demonstrate their masterful training and come out on top in amazing and suspenseful ways. ~Great episode!!! |

Tienz said: ouriel said: I don't know if I should laugh about the whole plot of this episode or I should cringe at how stupid they make the other spies to be; on top of this, to escape an facility that deals with counter-intelligence and not to suspect of moles is kind of absurd, coupled with the laughable room search, because just glancing at a room will give you all the information you'll need to know that the spy's not there. Talk about plot convenience much. This could've been far more interesting if they turned him in a double agent, if not, do what counter-intelligence services do, extract information, kill or gamble politically in order to preserve relations between the countries, altho in that time period is hard to do that due to already known circumstances. And what's with all the bollocks of having "layers" of what you'll hide in your mind? Well, in the end, it's my fault expecting this to be a decent drama/thriller, but I guess I got another James Bond or Mission Impossible show. I thought they'd play a double agent which would have been plausible and interesting. It certainly would've make it more interesting, as it would make the Japanese spies susceptible to discovery and turning themselves against their own country, or in other words, making them prone to failure without always having some "masterplan" or a deus ex machina to be saved. |

| Enjoyed it, again~ I liked the character design of that spymaster Howard (?), really unique and creepy, so very easy to memorize. There were newer aspects to the job of being a spy. I was skeptical though when they sent his message without questioning. Also that they let a single soldier search through the rooms? But well, I can still enjoy this episode despite the ending being kinda expected and am looking forward to the next episode~ |
| I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned~ ♫ |
| I knew getting captured was all according to plan. |
 |
| Outplayed and outsmarted. Colonel Yuuki knows, what he does. The sleeper spy made my day though. Overall the episode was tense and good. |
Re:Zero nice troll ending.  |
| I watched Ajin a bit too well I think. Other than that okay episode, needed a bit more play rather than talk tho |
| Good Episode… but with all these characters it is sometimes confusing which spy is playing the lead in an episode |
 |
| Loved the music and atmosphere in this episode |
| Great escape is great Best episode so far |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| damn dude's face is messed up also he has the same vois as Satou from Ajin which makes him crazier i think |
 |
| Good, intense episode. |
| That was such a good episode. Oh, and finally I remember a character forehead guy |
    |
| This was definitely better than the previous 3 episodes. I've adjusted to the switch to episodic cases and this had a good atmosphere indeed. I still wish that they developed the characters more, even if they're supposed to be spies and you shouldn't know who they really are. |
| The statement below is true. The statement above is false. |
| He had me for a minute, I thought Yuuki really betrayed him. (Who knows, maybe he really will.) I look forward to every single episode in Joker Game. It's my AOS. I'm guessing the next episode will have another element of yaoiness in it or maybe not? Who cares, I love it. |
| 臭い- |
| Good episode, was really intense and that whole thing with friday was interesting. That guy's head though. |
 |
Wow, this episode was so good! I was amazed by it. I was not expecting anything at all at any time. How did they conceive every possible scenario and prepare a counter measure ready in case? In the beginning I had no idea of why the book, Friday, and I even thought he betrayed the D Agency because of the truth serum, but in the end... ufff... That sleeper spy really was a plot twist. I can easily want a movie out of this episode jaja. Not that all episodes of Joker Gamer are not mini-movies already. PD: That giant head tho... I had to pause to laugh... |
| Best episode so far. Really interesting, it felt like 5mins rather than 20. 5/5 |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| That headmaster's voice is the same as Satou-san's! Amazing menacing voice <3 Episode was really thrilling and intense, I loved it. |
 |
| Still not sure where this show is headed, but very good episode. |
 |
| This is the best episode so far, at least I can give it 8/10 (can go higher if the next episodes better) |
| What a good episode, despite I was having a bad feeling about it for the most part. I'm glad that Kaminaga escaped. When will we be back at the present? |
  |
| Rather disappointing episode as they are portraying these Japanese spies as some form of superspy that are clearly above all the other spy agencies in the world at that time, instead of a more realistic approach. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| He is luck to have an ally inside, if it was not like that he would be dead for sure. |
 |
| His inside guy really saved his butt there. I think truth serum just gets you doped up to get you talking. |
