Kei should be more careful at who he runs into..

Kou and Kei still has quite a tense relationship, definitely not best of friends even though they aren't normal either. One of the calmer episodes, probably calm before the storm.

Pretty much a build up episode.

Kei's IBM reflects his own personality, The reason it probably went berserk last time is probably because he hates listening to people.

Meanwhile Satou continues his relentless unstoppable onslaught, Nothing to stop him. For now.

Kei is a good shot while Nakano sucks with a gun, They truly seem to opposites at everything. xD
Kei wonders if it's truly alright for him to disregard the emotions of others, However he's told that in this line work that's an important trait to have even if it isn't the making of a hero. To Kei, I think the most important thing for him is to at all costs avoid being the idiot he upbraids other people as.

I totally did not expect that Kei blush when Nakano complemented him. :3

Kei's IBM continues to be absolutely savage, Throwing a chunk of wood at Kei this time and calling him pathetic. Seriously, his IBM is the real deal. xD

So Kai's in prison, Sad, The price he's paying for helping a friend. :(
The next episode also shows Kai being bullied. :O Hopefully he beats the crap out of those guys.

It's sad that Kai ended up in prison for being a true friend. I hope Kei would get him out of once this is over. And that blush. XD

See the ending sequence, the scene where there is an IBM ghost with wings is set around the very same prison Kai is sent to. You can very well guess who is that handsome Ajin.

dropping all the great humor, I am actually scared, this anime is scaring me... the aura for Kai right now is really bad!

Also I'm lost with his IBM now, but i guess a wildcard is good!

Damn it, did Kei really have to blush when he got complimented? Now people are going to rabidly ship him with Nakano.......

Finally after a million years, Kai shows up again. His new cellmate kind of looks like Kei now that I think about. From what I could tell by the preview, Kai is gonna be going through some shit next episode, but that's to be expected when you go to prison.

The Ajin that killed the minister has a really cool design. Kei is good with a gun, but Nakano is not xD They are so opposite of each other. I didn't expect Kei to blush when Nakano complimented him lol We can finally see Kai in the next episode. It sucks he is in prison for helping a friend.

lol @ Kei blushing to Nakano, that hardly looked like a blush in the manga
They added some pretty interesting and funny anime original lines in there, like in the beginning with Ogura calling scientists delinquents, and then Satou and the fat Ajin hacker's dialogue. I don't mind funny filler.
They're doing a great job making Nakano look like the buffon he is.
Kai is back in the story and judging from the preview he's bringing some anime original content with him.
I just realized they removed Tosaki from Satou's list, dunno what Polygon Pictures is doing, that's one of the 2 most relevant names on that list and a pretty major change even if they are going with their own anime original route, that's like one of the main reason for Tosaki's team to speed up their set up and planning. Kei's line about using Tosaki as a bait was said jokingly in the anime but in the manga it's very real. They also increased Satou's list from 11 to 15 according to episode 13 of season 1, I guess it's to make him look good and give us more filler.
Eh Decent episode, expect this season to be comprised of lots of set up for the characters.

Good episode.

These Government Officials can try to hide, but Satou & his group will always find them.

Kei feeling a little lonely. Kou trying to manifest his IBM by hanging himself.

Finally get to see Kai again. Lets see what he gets up to next week.

So Kei goes to the professor for help and he tells him to change himself because the personality of the IBM depends on the person.

The plan is to try and catch Satou when he comes for the guy lower on the hit list because it's easier to track his movements. Which means that they'll leave the others and use their deaths to try and figure out Satou's pattern of attack. But Satou manages to kill Kishi-sensei who was hidden by the government under tight security and supposedly no one knew about his location.

And Kai is in juvenile prison where he'll be going through some shit. It's possible that Kai shows up at the wrong time in front of Kei and he has to go save him while risking the plan. That should be cool. Unless he dies before that or something.

I could take a wild guess and say that the 15 higher-ups in the country are actually more important than one unknown Ajin-hunter being appointed for exactly this reason. He does not make any sense being in the list either way except for revenge purposes of Satou. If he was to be targeted nation would lose like one person, anyone on the new list is a pillar of system of the country, however rotten.

Yes they're more important when it comes to the power they hold than Tosaki, but he isn't just some Ajin Hunter, he's a high ranked officer of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (the wikia) and is also part of that Ajin research commitee or whatever it's called. Anyway Satou's list doesn't just target people who hold power within the government in the manga, saying anything more than that is spoiling I guess. Tosaki is also more important to the story than those government official fodders so I was surprised he wasn't there.

That scene with the guy sitting next to Kei was kinda nice. I guess it didn't work out that well though.

We also finally heard about Kai. I mean I expected it like 10 episodes ago but better late than never :P

Somehow I'm hoping Kei and Tosaki start to get along through this but I highly doubt that will happen. They just dislike each other too much.

edit: almost forgot the beginning. Why wasn't it a surprise that Satou found the needed information like this... There is always one group connected to any work that fucks up their job badly.

I think it was a logical change, actually. Satou isn't really interested in the message he's creating, he's just doing it because it's a game to him and part of the game is seeing what challenges Tosaki can throw out. Including Tosaki's name on the list would have made the game less fun since Tosaki's efforts would be divided between trying to take Satou down and bolstering his own defenses, rather than having him put 100% into taking down Satou.

I'm really curious to see if how will Nakano's IBM look and behave. It seems they're pretty much always different from eachother, but the common trait seems to be full obedience to their owner.

Would be pretty funny to have Nakano's IBM also be an idiot.
That is, if he even does manage to manifest it, wouldn't surprise me if he was so incompetent he couldn't even summon his,

Hmm, I did not read the manga but i think Tosaki NOT being on the list works quite well here.
It would be pretty hard to convey this casual training and planning atmosphere that is going on in their hideout currently if there was a threat of being attacked at any moment.

So, whose IBM killed the minister? It looked different than Satou's and the other we saw.

Good to finally see Kai again, I was wondering what happened to him. So I am guessing his new cell mate is an Ajin as well? :P

I like how Kei finally tries to change and slowly seems to do that. He's been getting way too cold hearted imo. I like it.

Also Kai showing up again, made me feel happy at one point but a little afraid too, because he seems to be in trouble with this new guy getting in his cell.

Nakano seriously has to change too, for me. He really is getting on my nerves. And i'm surprised he accomplished that, because at first (end of the first season) i really liked him, especially cause of his character design, which i like.

I'd like to start off that I have never seen Kei blush and now it's making me wish that Kai was there instead. Oh no! The moment I think of Kai again, they reveal SOMETHING about him finally. I always wondered what happened to my child. They arrested him and Kei didn't even know, damn... Can someone do something about Kai, I don't want him to be in a juvenile camp all because he helped him.

Hahaha, I didn't even think much about Nagano hanging himself in an attempt to get his IBM up and going but now that I saw a mention about it, it is pretty funny.

Things in the order they mattered to me from this episode.

  1. Kei blush + "Shut up and die."
  2. Kei finally getting the sentimental/therapeutic talk he needs. (He just needs loving and security.)
  3. It still is annoying that the kids are just treated like... kids. Less then a few days ago, they were inhuman monsters... while I'm happy, I'm not impressed.
