| Same, they removed/changed up some of the order of events from the manga which took away some fun jabs that wouldve lightened it up a bit. I liked those parts pretty well and thought they contribute to developing some of the other assassins' personalities but the anime will prob rush through in only 12? episodes :( Meaning we prob won't get to know the other assassins backgrounds or motives that well except for the main chars. Hopefully the manga gets scanned and I might follow it even after the anime ends. Nee-sama said: This. is usually what happens in battle royale type shows/manga - and it just goes downhill. Pray it doesn't happen here.In any case, if this adapted series has the assassins disappearing in each episode one-by-one, I'll probably drop this. It seems like it would be a trainwreck if it worked that way. It's possible that not all assassins will strike though. The game could start taking a turn midway through the series. |

| a bit diifferent from the manga I read but still enjoyable. people waiting for yuri : you can wait forever, that will never happen. |
ChoiDalDal said: people waiting for yuri : you can wait forever, that will never happen. Exaggerated, but you never know. 19 chapters in, still nothing, but it's tagged as such for a reason. Gotta wait 'n see. As for this episode, it's like they're eating up 4 chapters per episode. I really wonder what's going to happen around ep 5-6. |
| it's tagged Yuri because there are only girls as main characters. |
ChoiDalDal said: Yeah, those idiots waiting for yuri in a series tagged as yuri, how could they?people waiting for yuri : you can wait forever, that will never happen.

| Oh, i loved that hugging scene. well done. |
Nee-sama said: Really, the author could have made it so only Haru OR Nio reveals this. What I'm saying is the story could still progress with only Nio telling Haruki the truth OR just with Haru telling Tokaku. The author seems to be throwing some dramatic irony around. In any case, if this adapted series has the assassins disappearing in each episode one-by-one, I'll probably drop this. It seems like it would be a trainwreck if it worked that way. It's possible that not all assassins will strike though. The game could start taking a turn midway through the series. Your right about that, the author could of just gave us one straight answer, Haru killed them all or she died as they protected her. But in order to make a fraction within the viewers you want to shake up the story. Give one scenario in two different lights. Else it'll just be linear all the way through. So right now everyone has their own opinion on what the "truth" is.Thing about a mystery is you try to piece it together before it's solved. That must be the authors intent. ED of each assassin is predicting that outcome so it might be one assassin per episode (which will get repetitive I have to admit. ) My hope is for a twist that changes the course of the story or it really will get tiresome. But we can only wait and see. |

| Lots of intrigue in this episode involving characters' pasts, which I was hoping to see more of from last time. I have a feeling that Tokaku and Haru's backstories might be linked in some way, but we'll have to wait and see if any of my speculation is true. Related to that subject is the issue being brought up by several other posters that Lastly, Overall, a good, well-paced episode! Looking forward to the next one! ♥ |
 |
| wonder which story about haru is true. i hope the one haru told just because haru turning out to be some cold killer would be lame and predictable in away. overall i liked this episode alot more than the first one. |
| Still not too sure what to think about this anime. I'll keep on watching though. |
| Well, one of the most suspicious things about the Haru/Nio stories is that Haru has scars. Sure, she could sustain scars while being protected, but she also could have gotten them from fighting. As well, there are lots of questions to consider: 1) How did she get those scars? 2) Why was she hiding them? 3) In relation to #2; what made her hope that Tokaku wouldn't hate her for her scars? It's not like you'd normally come to hate people with scars from like, accidents or something - unless it wasn't an accident. (Plus, Haru easily could have passed through with telling Tokaku she got them when her family was protecting her). Yay for speculation! Also, the "one girl, one ending" thing doesn't necessarily mean they'll be all attacking one-by-one, but again, if it does work like that... oh boy. |

| This is getting interesting. Itsuke and Tokaku's fight was pretty good. I think that Tokaku's decision to protect Haru was a little bit... rushed? I dunno. As for Haru, I still don't know whether I can trust her yet or not~ |
| I dunno about this show. Honestly, the only reason why I watch this is mainly for the yuri, but I might not have the patience to sit through all of this just to see a little bit of yuri. But even without considering the yuri, I just think it's boring and Tokaku is probably the most boring character off all. Dropped. It's not bad, but it just bores me too much. |
| Just like I thought, seems like we won't be getting any deaths in this anime. Or at least that's how it looks. Not disappointing at all though, since for some reason this is keeping me really entertained so far. I just love the overall atmosphere, and the sound design is still top notch. Love that OST, and those overly dramatic shots. |
| This was surprisingly touching for some reason, and has raised my interest in the show! I wonder how they will be able to build on all of the assassins before the series ends? Also, I wonder who will be the first to have to leave? I really want to know the loli's power. She's being guarded heavily by the princely character, but I want to see her be one of the more dangerous assassins, and maybe the princely one is there to keep her in check? That would be entertaining. Anyway, great episode! I wonder who gets the ED next time? |
| For me, this episode was better than the first one. The character felt more affirmed and fleshed out. There is still a lot of mystery behind them like Nio saying that Haru killed all her familly vs Haru saying that they protected them or that fear Tokaku have from that tomb. The context have been explained clearly. I was confused in the first episode as to why they wouldn't just jump on her and kill her. Tokuka character got suddenly interresting. A virgin killer? That could be really interresting in a bunch of psycho. Haru character got also more than the cute girl that smile. Her past seem gloomy and make her really ambiguous. To me, there is two possibility : either she was abused, druged (hence her drug resistance) and killed her familly like Nio said or her whole familly got targeted for whatever reason. Maybe to create a martyr for their game? |

| I still can't take this show seriously. It's because of the over-the-top Danganronpa vibe. However, the premise is really interesting and I'm dying to know more about Tokaku and Haru. But methinks (as some others do) that Tokaku is the "real" target of this series. |
| I sense twists tho! |
| Interesting indeed. I really want to know how that curse stops her from dying..by any means? or certain things can still kill her. What are the limitations, if there are any, and just how were they able to put a curse on her. It seems like an intriguing show and the fight scene was pretty nice. I really enjoyed the OSTs as well. Can't wait to see what happens next! Tokaku will protect her, I will stick around to see how. |
 |
| Good episode. This one showed some progress. I especially liked the scene where Tokaku ripped up the card. But, uhh, why does everyone in the world want to kill Haru? Just a fight between clans? |
| Hmm...this show has really piqued my interest. I seriously think Haru is hiding something. After all even by "anime logic" it doesn't make ANY sense for 12(now 11) assassins to be pitted against an innocent girl. Even if that innocent girl has a tragic past and/or may had to kill her family due to some legitimate reason. (A few come to mind.) So I seriously think Nio may have been telling the truth. Or both of them are telling the truth. But seriously Haru has to have some kind of background to justify throwing that many assassins at her. So she has to have developed some taste/sense of blood lust. Or at least doesn't mind killing if it's necessary. I mean it seems like Tokaku is the "pro assassin" and even get's a sense of who the real contenders are when she get's near em, etc. In other words the director or whatever he was, is correct. Tokaku is a "wild one" and can already sense a person's blood lust/murderous intent/whatever you want to call it. And she doesn't pick up anything from Haru. So either Haru takes "anime logic" to a new extreme in this show, or she's "innocent but guilty." I believe in the latter given how many people are out to get her. Overall really liking this series so far. I can't wait for this to start gearing up. I also hope they reveal more about Haru and hopefully the Yuri aspects gear up a bit too. PS: This show is going to wrack my brain when I go to sleep here in a few. Usually at this time of night my mind starts racing. And the situation surrounding Haru already has my mind thinking up various ways on why she could be involved in this situation. :S. Damnit! I wonder if I'll even be able to stomach Sakura Trick after this. Most likely given they are in two different "sub genre." But I'll wait another season before starting that. As it will give time for BD to come out. |
| I think Haru's immortal... Anyways, the plot is picking up and Tokaku declares that she would protect Haru! Their pasts, the assassins and Haru, seem to be tragic and sad. Also, the Kurogami sensei (I forgot his name)... what is he reading/writing/typing on that computer? It got me curious. It looks like he knows something. The ED got my attention. The song is pretty <3 "Kinou, Kyou, Ashita (昨日、今日、明日)" |
| the episode was really good , loved tokaku's declaration of war btw how can u be an assasin if u never killed someone ? :o |

| I enjoyed the episode, but the more and more i watch, the more i realize Haruki is actually Kyouko from Madoka.... I MEAN THEY ARE LIKE THE SAME PERSON I really hope I am not the only one! Glad to see it is sorta turn based... a lot more organized than I thought it was going to be. |

AkuNoKawaiiUsagi said: I think Haru's immortal... Also, the Kurogami sensei (I forgot his name)... what is he reading/writing/typing on that computer? It got me curious. It looks like he knows something. I agree, I had the same impression! Really the few words I read seemed somewhat related. And it was curious that he appeared reading that precisely when it was said that he did not know anything. ReiTakanashi said: btw how can u be an assasin if u never killed someone ? :o She is still training for it, and like her coach (? Not sure what he is really) implied during the first episode this is some kind of test. Really I do not think this is so much about killing Haru but about testing the killers. cyclone1993 said: I really want to know the loli's power. She's being guarded heavily by the princely character, but I want to see her be one of the more dangerous assassins, and maybe the princely one is there to keep her in check? That would be entertaining. I really wonder which are her murdering skills too, so far she hasn't even talked. Obviously with these girls appearances are deceitful. |
| “We see what we want to see” |
| So meh. The whole set up seems really forced. If I continue watching it will be for the action. |
| Oh wow. This has better dialogue than pupa. |
Earwen said: Oh wow. This has better dialogue than pupa. I think that's quite easy to beat. |
| “We see what we want to see” |
| This is looking better than the manga. Haru's smile and voice are a miracle of life. |
| Let the yuri begin. |
 |
| I like where this is going. It's pretty exciting. I'm looking forward to a lot of action and possibly death starting with the next episode. |
Just sit back, and let your tears do the talking as I save you. |
KuroMayKami said: Earwen said: Oh wow. This has better dialogue than pupa. I think that's quite easy to beat. Apparently not. |
| The OST in this show fucking rocks, still not sure why the hit was put out on Haru but hopefully they explain that later. |
My Candies:     |
| An assassin who won't kill ugh :/ |
| The reason I saved you was...... because this is a lesbian anime and you're the main heroine haha |
 |
| Was a little confusing in the start. By the end it's fairly straight forward. Good episode overall |
 |
| I am enjoying this, I like the whispering in the op at the beginning. Haru has alot of scars, wow. And now Tokaku will protect her from insane highschoolers, uh "assassins" planning to kill Haru...Lol. Still enjoying it! |
