Lol, nice punch!


Ah this episode was somewhat fun to see especially with Tachibana.

Still, I feel like the action got a bit less compared to some of the previous episodes as it was more of a buildup including brief practice. Hoping the finale will end the show with a bang. Tachibana has come a long way now...

All.I wanted was for that last scene to get animated.

Midori"s a bastard as always. Tachibana won in the end but Midori was probably just going easy. The guy likes to crush people once they're all fired up.

They brought in Haruki (the name of that new character) but they never introduced his name nor did they give him an actual seiyuu. But they did briefly show him in the cafe during the last episode, so I am guessing a second season? Nothing's been changed from the manga.

The drama factor was a bit too much for me this episode but I absolutely loved Yukimura this episode. His perversion and voice just mix so well together.

Young Mattsun is kawaii af.

It's going to end next week and I'm so sad over it... a lot of people didn't like this show but it was my favorite this season. It will be missed

I like how Hotaru admits that wanting to play survival game with Masamune and Yukimura is her own selfish desire, but refuses to hand them over to Midori all the same. Such a levelheaded contradiction. What's even more stupid is that Midori was indirectly instigating her to regain her resolve, which is of no benefit to him at all.

So, Yukimura deliberately dramatized the story to further incite Hotaru's already "Oh-so-superior" sense of justice? I'm sure even if he just told the actual story, it still would've worked, given how "superior" her stupid sense of justice is.

The second casualty guy's love for survival game probably wasn't strong enough to begin with, if he couldn't handle the cruel side of it. Think of it like anime. There are tons of crappy/offensive shows you've come across (such as this very one), but did they make you give up on anime altogether? Masamune took such a stupid cause seriously and made it to be the reason for kicking Hotaru out of the team. Like TF? >.<

So we learned the truth about Toy Gun Gun's 2 casualties.

I don't think it really made sense for Yukimura to dramatize the story about the girl in order to influence Tachibana. I'm sure the actual story would have been good enough. But at this point in the game, I kind of expect this kind of nonsense in this anime, where some people don't seem to use their brain.

This. Just....the accuracy.

I wasn't surprised at all when she stole that win from Midori. Saw that coming from a mile away. And we also got some more obligatory Tachibana bloodlust at the end. Let's see how this wraps up.

Young Yukimura looked so gloomy. :O The complete opposite of Mattsun.
It's interesting how people with contrasting personalities can be such close friends.


So they lied after all. Kinda surprised that TGG was in the wrong. Since Yukimura was being honest, that would have been the perfect opportunity for Hotaru to come clean about her gender. And that rape face!

One thing i can say - calm down people cause they wont find out about her gender (at least not any soon) and the match between the teams prob will take a while too. The ep overall was okay and the best scene obv is her rape face :D

Pleaseeeeeee tell them the truth next episode, Hotaru. While it wouldn't bother me that much if you didn't, I think it's about time you be honest with them like they've been with in in this episode. Although, I'm pretty sure she won't tell them. But I can always hope...

So another "no" to admitting she's a girl in this episode, huh? Maybe next episode? Highly doubt it though.

Idk if it's just me, but I'm really liking Midori's character and his team. Midori maybe be psychotic when he has a gun and is in the field, but he seems like a decent guy.. decent enough to take Hotaru out for a meal, give shooting advise, and most importantly, keep her secret of being a girl.

So Hotaru's postponing her gender reveal for now by helping Matsuoka. Forcing such a rule on girls because of just one female member sounds rather odd, though, and that guy who left doesn't really sustain it because it seems like it was his loss. This show's logic is confusing to grasp. Lol at that "onii-chan" bit at the end.

I think Midori has found a worthy challenge with Tachibana, both as an opponent at the TGC (because of her "superior" sense of justice and her agility) and as someone he wants to crush entirely.
It could be like some kind of "meta-game" for him, to see how many team members of "Toy Gun Gun" will leave because of him and his team.
I think now that Yukimura told Tachibana the truth, she should do the same.
Maybe she can show Matsuoka that she doesn't need to be protected all the time and that she can look after herself.
With only 1 Episode left, there is not much room for her confession, I suppose.

Midori, asshole as always. I can't describe how much I wanna kill him with my own bare hands (:

Yukki being tottaly honest & stuff <3 It made me so weak :') I like honest people.
There, I knew it he can be/he is a good friend (but not to everyone ofc).
YUKKI BE MY FRIEND PLEASE (I'll end up marry him later, lol)
The best chara, no question. I worship him xD

LIL MATTSUN SO CUTE >///<



Great! We get to see the 3rd ex members of TGG.


Yukki said that the third member always gets cought up in Mattsun & Midori's relationship, ends up miserable & quits the team.
To be honest, this made me sad. Sounds like the 3rd member is always doomed to suffer misfortune; Like someone has cursed this team or something like that. They have such bad luck :/
I feel sorry for the girl & that brown-haired guy. Definitely the the hooded one we saw in the previous episode & most likely will take part in season 2(if this show gets 1 ofc). I can sense he's changed but I don't want him to turn out to be another rotten shit like Midori because I just really had enough of that scum.
Oh yeah. Hope he won't join Hoshishiro if something fires him up to make a come back in the survival games' world, in the near future that's it.

I really liked this episode, to be honest. I liked that i got to learn about the back story of the team. But I don't like that it took so long to get to that point. I guess they were trying to prolong the anime or something i don't know. The punch was amazing thou, but you know do you really expect anything less from the completely op character that has hidden strengths that only his friends and passion revile?

Poor episode as always.
What terrible pacing despite this being the pre-finale episode...
I expected more from Yukimura's confession but it ended up as a sub-convenient dramatic cliche.

Season 2 will be a feasible expectation given this is a fangirls' bait.
I reckon this to have good-to-great sales despite the series' overall mediocre quality.

Omg, what the hell is wrong with this anime? It’s a GAME, why the hell are they treating it like its real life?!! I honestly thought that Matsouka couldn’t get more pathetic but I stand corrected, anyhow it seems though that next time I’ll finally see some action which is a much welcome change than this forced drama and fujoshi baiting.

I really don't mind the slightly unnecessary drama, and I did like the episode. But I can't believe I found myself almost crying when Yukki started to... o-o

The only thing that bugs me is the brown-haired girl from before. What a wimp! If you're gonna do something like this, at least pretend to be strong, and don't show your fear like that! Midori was right, it's not gonna kill her for goodness' sake. Hotaru wouldn't have been such a daffodil in that situation, why was that girl even playing survival games if she's afraid to get shot?? The guy that was their third member on the team seemed much better anyway.

Waah, only one episode left! Whyyy ;o; I sincerely hope this gets a second season, I wanna see more Toy Gun Gun. (and Hoshishiro! Midori's a jerk, as we all know, but Fujimon is adorable, and I don't think there was quite enough scenes with Ichi...)

At least I hope someone will update the manga translations, it's absurd how far behind they are...

I have a feeling Yukimura's treasure box is the inspiration for all his manga. What a treasure trove of onii-chan references! lol!

I thought this episode dragged on a bit, but I'm glad they finally cleared things up for us even though it was nothing outlandishly bazaar. Mattsun's obsession with Midori though.... 'M' much? Let's hope this series ends with a bang!

The drama. The drama is killing me. Its so forced... Why can't it just stick to its strength i.e. comedy? Sigh.

At this point in the series, my favorite character is Midori. I can't believe I like a sadistic character like him, but yeah he is fun to watch. Also, Fujimoto. And Yukki when he helps push the plot forward. Hotaru can be cool but a little too aggressive and naive at times.
