| Well, it's clear this anime is still dealing with sensitive topics in their society. As it currently stands, I find the circumstances of some of the cast quite realistic. From Tetsuo's point of view, he was dealing with another real life problem. Not going to lie, I like the usage of the soundtrack this episode to make everything feel more thrilling. Scary cliffhanger tbh. This is the type of show that anyone can be trapped into a horrific event. |

| Is this a family game with poker cards? Reika really watches that horror movie in front of her father while he's eating, lol... This is an interesting family. I hope Tetsuo can live his days in peace but that's a scary dream... Reika's dream flashback, being attacked. Kasen-san feels there is a car spying on their family. Tetsuo-san also realizes the car because he has seen it following him before. Reika sleeping, what an amazing fanservice, lol. Although there was a burglary in the car trunk, it was just a change of clothes. It was an amazing bait. Reika really suspects the two of them and yahhh Reika still prefers to eat. It's really tense but yahhh Tetsuo-san realizes that something has happened inside the house. It's suspicious, why are they using pots and soil? Hiding behind the closet is pretty good. Tetsuo realizes that their house is being bugged so yahhh Tetsuo decides to communicate using notes. With that conversation plan, they leave. Of course, it's Tetsuo-san's first experience of killing someone. That's a strange question, Kasen-san. Oooomagaaa yahhh... that's a scary family. No matter how well you hide the body, it will eventually be discovered. There is an attack and yahhh Tetsuo-san and Kasen-san are caught. |
| We certainly have an odd family here in how the main character himself seems so damn acquainted with knowing how to decompose a body so well to remove evidence as if he has done it before. His explanation about reading mystery novels is a little unconvincing lol So there has to be more |

| Reika is just a bit too oblivious for my liking. Many things just feel glossed over when it could be more suspenseful. Tetsuo is doing all he can to dispose of the body, but sooner or later, life catches up to you, and the cliffhanger is an eerie indication of that. The thing that caught my attention was when the wife asked if this was Tetsuo's first murder. There is no way that's the end of that question, there must be more. |
| another good episode that cliff hanger ending tho cant wait for the next ep |
 |
| That cliffhanger at the end tho. Also I am interested in kyoichi. He seems like a really intelligent guy. |
 |
| I don't think Tetsuo lied about this being his first murder, but maybe he has helped someone hide a body like this already. |
 |
| For those wondering why Tetsuo seems so accustomed to disposing of bodies and how he's able to come up with these methods, remember, he has a deep knowledge of the mystery genre, and reads/writers mystery novels in his spare time. I looked that up on the MHH Wikipedia page, I don't think it was explicitly explained in the show (but it was hinted at early in episode 1). Also, in this very episode, after his wife asked him that question, he said "mystery as a genre has existed for over 100 years, so I have a lot of material to draw from." Tetsuo and his wife are somehow managing to keep up their sneaky little facade, and they've been just barely getting by so far by the skin of their teeth, but that cliffhanger shows that it can't last forever and their actions are finally catching up to them. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Direction is rather disappointing. They're rushing with what's already a very condensed plot, this story is not going to work if they don't take the time to build up the suspense... |

| Disguising himself as a cleaner was quick thinking. Cooking the body like a piece of meat huh. What a dream that Tetsuo ended up having though. Still Nobuto's friends sure moved fast. Its odd seeing them working so well together ridding the body though. Using the survey as a delaying tactic though was a good one. But the counter to that really was genius. Though its unfortunate the guys that they're trying to evade are more cunning than they are. Overall a pretty good ep that featured some great tension as well as expansion on the bonds between Tetsuo and his wife. |

| Tetsuo's knowledge comes from his years of writing mystery novels and such. He has a deep understanding of what to do and he's in general a smart guy. It might or might not be his first time murdering someone. The scene were they've checked his suitcase had me on the verge of my chair when I was reading the manga and so did the anime. Everyone's suspicious of Kaisen, but it'll be clear why she isn't your typical housewife. Same goes for Tetsou. Would have been much better if it was a different studio. Because the way they're adapting the story, it feels like everything is coming out of nowhere. Side note: they've skipped a WHOLE chapter just for the cliffhanger. And they've cut out a LOT of dialogue which makes it seem so unrealisitc and very fast paced. |

| All this does is make me want to read the manga. More descriptions and in-depth reasoning, better pacing and just improved handling of the suspense. There's potential here but the directing and editing isn't showing that so far. |
| He posed as a cleaner and barely got away with it. What a relief. "Is this your first murder?", the wife asks calmly. I want to know if it's HER first murder. Because of how calm she was since episode 1, I find her very sus. That cliffhanger though. Shit got real very quick. But I was wondering if they'd play around with the idea of Tetsuo and his wife getting found or not for at least one more episode. As others stated, the direction of this anime is very strange. A slower pacing would've benefitted a thriller story like this a lot. The animation/artwork is like watching a live-action movie with terrible actors. It feels like the expressions aren't drawn as they should've been. I didn't read the manga so I don't know if it was like this in the source too or not. Even if it wasn't, the anime should've added some things to make the pacing slower. |
| Just when it looked like Tetsuo and his wife managed everything fine, we got that sort of cliffhanger. I mean it makes sense too, or rather would've had made much more if those bad guys tried to abduct or have their way with force since the start. I mean they're are lawless, and not some official authority looking for evidences. Books sure can influence someone, to the point where people like Tetsuo can learn to plan this far ahead. First with the suitcase, and then him and his wife reading that script to fool the pursuers. Genuinely Tetsuo seems like someone who has a talent for it, even though he denies not murdering anyone before. I'm impressed with the mother though, she's all cool with everything lol. Anyways a lot better episode than the premiere we had. |
 |
| I wasn't sure Tetsuo had it in him to dispose the dead body, but he did it while getting rid the evidence in Reika's apartment. The yakuza is still looking for Nobuto and knows that something happened to him as his last know location was in Reika's apartment so they started tailing Tetsuo and his wife back to their house. They went as far as going through Tetsuo's car and sneaking into the house to plant listening devices. I knew it was a matter of time before Tetsuo and his wife got abducted as the yakuza are starting to run out of patience about Nobuto's whereabouts. |

| Another good episode. As a manga reader I’m still not a fan of mc but i hope he gets better. Next episode events are probably the last one i am familiar with. |
| This anime is so tense as it is animated in a static way The soundtrack and the performances help a lot |
| May our sweet and Merciful Madoka be with you |
| Oh boy oh boy oh boy. This got wild quickly. Love it! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| I feel like this family is more messed up than the gang they're dealing with. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| This is the kind of wife you want - you kill someone (to keep your family safe) and she just asks how she can help. |
 |
| This is thrilling! i like it!! moar plzzz!! 5/5. |
 |
| Tetsuo disguised as a cleaner while Kyoichi is tasked to find the deceased Nobuto, it's intense realization. But still, him and his wife Kasen are elaborate on hiding Nobuto's body to make sure that they leave no traces of evidence behind, just like how food is prepared, but with human remains instead. Within all means to hide the truth from Reika, they must commit the perfect crime, even when the Yakuza is watching their every step to get not just Reika, but the entire family instead. A slight change of plans has both Tetsuo and his wife act quickly to dispose the remains, while Kyoichi acts on his side to wiretap the entire house while Shingo keeps them busy. Though with the failed plan, both parents were able to fake their way out, while knowing of the Yakuza's purposes to drive them away. Even though this is Tetsuo's first murder, it was elaborate planning all the way through, and his wife is prepared to face the atrocities together with him, no matter how far they go. The Yakuza forcing their way through to the married couple, the intenseness doesn't stop now. |
 |
| Apart from the fact, that the parents' behaviour seems completely irrational and weird, I think it's pretty interesting. Excited for the next episode because of that cliffhanger though! |
| They got attacked already? How can they get out of this alive?! |
| Nah man we gotta take a moment to appreciate how real the mom is. Imagine having a woman that would support and help you thru all this without even a complaining. That’s a good woman. W parents. W marriage |

I get the feeling she's not as oblivious/innocent as she acts. Her skilled sleight of hand is definitely ringing some alarm bells for me. |

| Cliffhanger is going stupid |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Imagine they get hired by yakuza or some shit lol. This one gave me some heavy breaking bad vibes. |

hypercowbell said: In America he could just use a gun and got all this over with. Not a solution in any way at all. Just the easiest way to end up in prison or, it being in America, shot by the police. And the goal here is to get away with this without being found out, not to draw even more attention to yourself. |
