this show truly is powered by the rule of cool and it's impressive how it sticks to it's own logic at times only for it to say fuck all of that shit whenever it wants to

action still quite good joker-san putting all his tactics to counter Chisato was great and despite how utter insane it is to think on how Takina got through that metal window the hype level was up there at the end, everything else ehhh


none of the moments of Majima's plan would really work if it happened to a real Japan but by this shows world logic everyone is so dumb by the peace set by the DA they would simply start believing an really evil looking dude that hacked the big screen telling them to kill girls dressed in school outfits you'd think if they were living so long without knowing this they would hardly even think what they were seeing was real , but then we wouldn't have the drama of him setting up chaos and taking down the DA...which granted i still wanted the show to tackle how flawed they are as system

but i don't think rando salaryman is gonna be like i guess i should just start blasting young girls it's just a tad ridiculous

but hey we got 1 or 2 episodes left im sure the action will be fun to watch

I know I'm in the minority here, but the plot has really gone to shit now that we're reaching the end. Some crazy guy dumps a handful of guns randomly across the city and people start shooting each other? The average citizen finds out that cute high school girls are really undercover cops, and their first reaction is to attack one in the middle of a crowd for no reason?

the guns were dropped as self defense against the lycoris if I understood correctly. If you found out that the government was using high school girls as undercover agents who were among all the people, wouldn't you feel threatened? He wants to go against the dystopian shit the DA's been pulling and it's working.

Authentic stakes are what the show need, in my opinion, to stand out in a bunch of similar moe comedy/semi-realistic action shows. The recent episodes seem to have addressed that need. This episode has a few great scenes.

I dig this episode because the way Majima do everything is quite terrifying but brilliant, the plot is something that usually Hollywood movie has, just dumb fun.

But holy shit they're really putting another stupid subplot (Another artificial heart found) with 2 episodes left despite the story is almost hitting a dead end, good luck in wrapping up this mess but judging at the pace, we'll probably ended up with many plot holes.

No Majima’s plan was dumping the guns all over the city in public areas thinking the Lycoris would be used to collect them. So he shows the video of Lycoris killing people while other Lycoris are out collecting the guns since theres a higher chance people will spot them in public. His goal all along was to expose the existence of Lycoris.

The glasses guy didn’t shoot the Lycoris for no reason. If he took the gun he probably wanted to kill someone with it. After seeing the video of Lycoris gunning people down he got scared and thought the Lycoris was there to kill him too for taking the gun.

I mean its still a silly plot but not that hard to understand.

What in hell is this god-forasaken country's army doing during all of this?
The early episodes depicted actually that the country relied too much on the lycoris (and related organizations) so much that the military stuffs are "sent outside" or to borders, leaving only police on inner side of the country with performance grade are so poor.


I don't care where the army is, they'd be summoned back, especially with the emergency state declared last episode.
"with perfomance grade so poor" compared to the lycoris that got shot by a civilian this episode? or the lycorises in the tower that didn't inspect the fuckin roombas with bombs? everyone's performance in this anime is poor my dude.

The last episode gave me the impression that they were hinting at not a necessarily sad, but a darker, more bittersweet type of ending. With this episode, it feels like it's going to end with sunshine and rainbows. I would like something a bit more than a typical disney fairytale happily ever after ending, but even if that's what we get, I'll have no complaints as long as they deliver with going all-out with a stellar action set piece that I feel is going to come in either the next or the last episode. They've given us great bursts of action in nearly every episode, but I feel like they're going to truly unleash it all soon in one of the last two episodes, if not both.

If all does end well with everybody happy, episode 10 will probably stay as my favourite episode just for presenting a slightly darker tone than the rest.

Takina is dead set on protecting her girl. Meanwhile, Chisato decides to take on Majima alone. Only, in the dark he is more than capable of handling poor Chisato. The clock continues to click away, as precious minutes pass by for Chisato. But in the last moment when she was close to getting finished by Majima, Takina bursts through side support like a knight in shining armor, and rescues her beloved Chisato...I cannot wait for the next episode!

Another amazing episode 9/10
Especially the end in which Takina calls yoshis phone to inform Chisato that she is coming by ringing it…and baam Chisato runs to her left while takina burst opens the metal barrier entering the battle scene.
Can’t wait for the next one.

So Takina chose Chisato over DA. she's never gonna be able to return there now. But the DA has been made known to the public anyway so it's fine. That entrance by Takina was so good and cool. She now joins the fight of Chisato against majima.

His offer to Chisato to pair up and destroy Alan Institute just give me this thinking.

I believe that Majima has a deeper motive than just that exposing the Lycoris to the public. If Alan Institute give all of their beneficiary a mission then Majima must be have one.

Then, about Yoshimatsu ordering the assassination for Chisato, I think there must be a connection here with Majima trying to recruit Chisato to his side. Majima said "Sight is everything". He needs Chisato to achieve something (destroy Alan Institute?).

Maybe Yoshimatsu doesn't want him to have Chisato? So rather than see her join force with Majima. He better see her die than to see **his daughter** join the dark side because I think there's no reason Yoshimatsu not giving the new heart to Chisato. Or maybe just because he doesn't want those two pair up and destroy Alan Institute. Or both lol.

And this leads to the artificial heart, maybe Majima will make that as his bargaining chip?
1. Chisato join him. She get the new heart, prolong her life. Yoshimatsu free to go.
2. Chisato refuse. Majima break the new heart. Yoshimatsu die.

And that might leads us to the ending and the cliffhanger for the 2nd season.

Just my theory. Let's see what they uncover in the two last episodes.

Goddamn, those eyecatches goes hard as fuck.

I don't know if it's possible to break those metal shutters like that, but I don't care, LET'S GO TAKINA!

It's pretty cool to see the contrast between Chisato and Majima's abilities.

Bro, Yoshi was outta there immediately lmao, ran for his life. Mans better give that new and better heart to Chisato without any scheming.

Kurumi's tech is something else, power of sci-fi. Kurumi and Mizuki's interactions are fucking hilarious. 2 more episodes, I really hope we get more seasons of this, even spin offs or something, this setting has a lot of potential. Though, I just really want more Chisato and Takina. Can't wait for the next episode.

Yes, I do have to concur with the general sentiment expressed by some and admit by this point that the writing has gotten rather dumb just in terms of believable integration of events which drive the plot and a lack of them just being...well, thought through and fleshed out in a satisfying manner. That was evident in the last episode or so too, but nowhere more on display here. I'm fine with the physicality or physics of things being implausible or even impossible, even in ostensibly non-supernatural anime, because I simply don't care about a series' adherence to such limiting artificial constraints which neuter freedom of action/possibility and creativity. Less so enthused with the motives and decision-making of characters being so implausible or not making real understandable sense (the civilian gun scene and Majima's whole plan in general just seems like a barebones first draft outline written at the studio before any details and particulars are filled in to make it become an actual detailed working part of the story; more like a prototype idea) .

The series is still my favorite of the year and I'm enjoying it on a probably 8/10-tier level even if the critical quality because of the writing substance would lower it some notches if trying to be more objective.

I never thought that they would kill off Chisato or takina, I mean anything can happen but it doesn’t make sense to me especially announcing a manga or LN. My main concern was always about this show sticking the landing and right now it’s stumbling. I’ve suspended my disbelief from the start as I do with most anime but majima is such a laughable villain. Little things like a civilian just shooting the gun from his bag at the lycoris when clown hair popped up on the screen. Really? That’s their first reaction? So dumb, there are other little things that annoy me as well. Overall I have enjoyed this show, I just want a competent ending from these writers. Based off this last episode, it’s in doubt.
