I keep getting the feeling that this series won't have a happy ending.

The only thing that could make this anime even more amazing is more episodes for a compete adaption, but that isn't going to happen as the manga is still ongoing and probably will only use half the material...

I know this is way too early, but I want a second season. No anime only ending please.

This episode was great in terms of developments and character-building, and the atmosphere is still the huge turn-on of the show (and it's darkening too). On top of that, I didn't particularly find this one slower than the previous episdes, so that was all good for me.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Great episode. Love the development on the members of the gang and I'm looking forward to seeing Yaichi's and Otake's past revealed.

Ume's life was actually surprisingly interesting. Following Otake, his was the most mysterious; i didn't know what to expect. Yaichi's should encompass a larger span of his life though and be more exciting.
I have had trouble distinguishing the past events from the present at times, or at least not knowing when they change times, but this episode was easy to follow.

So how the gang came to be and now we know the story about Ume, didn't know he was such a good guy. I see trouble brewing at the horizon though.

I thought so too that it might be Nakai Kazuya. I'd love that~

The episode was great again and we got to know a little bit more about Ume~

Yaichi's past is basically reviled a lot though. Even in the beginning of the series those first scenes were part of Yachi's past.

Yup, I heard Kazuya Nakai this episode. This was certainly a much more subtle role he's playing right now.

Glad to see the backstory of how the group formed, their first 'heist,' and why Ume is a better person than I originally thought.

It was a little slower than past episodes... but I liked it. Not the best episode so far, but still quality & relaxing.

After learning Matsu past from the last episode, we got to learn Ume past. We learned at the same time how they created the Goyou.

Ume have a debt against an ex-compagnion and try to repay him.

It look like Okino is cracking for Masa :P

I think we can now guess were that other gang we saw at the end of the episode 3 came from.

Oh shit, poor Azusa, how she's gonna live without her Ton-chan..? :(

The atmosphere of The House of Five Leaves has always been heavy, but this episode was particularly overbearing. While the flashbacks to times before the gang's formation are a bit confusing, it's great to see the characters' motivations for being part of the group. There are slight subtleties in the scenes' coloring when the anime is in a flashback, but it's otherwise hard to tell time we're in without Masa there. Other then that, The House of Five Leaves has been quite nice so far.

Ume's the man, I really felt for that other guy's situation. I like how the flashbacks are broken up into fragments and partially explored as the episodes progress. It adds a layer of mystery to the characters that I want to keep unraveling.

Amazing episodes keep coming! :))) Nice! The mood in this episode was so 'bad', dark and heavy... The rainy weather was a major contribution to tat mood!!! It was a great contrast to the Ume's inner goodness against outer corrupt world (represented by bad weather)!
But, I feel that hard days awaits our characters in the near future! Good thing that Masa is feeling much better! I think he's gonna have to be top-notch to be able to protect the Five Leaves!!! Let's find out what happens!
