I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I loved it. This was an absolutely hysterical episode. There isn't much more to say than that. |
| (Seems like my post didn't go through so if this is a double post, sorry about it.) So we finally get the episode on that yakuza who's been around for a while in a lot of episodes. This one was pretty good, I'd say it's one of the best ones out yet. It was quite funny at moments and the puppy metaphors were nicely done. As always with this show, I liked how everything wrapped up. Next week another OCD case, damn there sure are a lot of them. Probably another guy feeling insecure, the general theme of this show. |
| hehehe nice; well it seems the doctor does follow them around. Is he treating them during the same period? It seems so to me. |
| nice translations, gg. |:< |
| a lot funnier than the last epd to me, mayumi gets hotter every passing epd :3 |
| LOL'd hard at the Twilight commercial. I really start to like the VA for Irabu as well. Overall a good episode :D |
Alexstratz said: Next week another OCD case, damn there sure are a lot of them. Probably another guy feeling insecure, the general theme of this show. well OCD is pretty common mental disorder so no wonder many of the patiens in this show hav it :) But anyway luved this ep. Pretty funny too^^ |
     I didn't want to hurt you but you're pretty when you cry. I didn't really love you but I'm pretty when I lie. |
| Another good one. Its cool to see the tie-ins between the episodes. That Seiji is very brave. Not only he faced his fears but he did a russian roulette. I wish they used at least one female patient. |
| Threw up at the Twilight commercial. Otherwise a great episode - made me laugh out loud a couple of times. |
 |
| I think I'm really starting to love this series. Also, I'm just realizing this, but I think the reason every episode starts with the 16th day is because this whole series centers around the patients Irabu treats during those 2 weeks. |
| Best episode so far. Love that strange phobia of Yakuza dude. =)) Especially when he cut off edges of table. =)) |
| If I could fly... |
noteDhero said: totally agree. I loved the relationship between the main character of this episode and his girlfriend too. I loved it. This was an absolutely hysterical episode. There isn't much more to say than that. Choosy_Green said: lol yes. nice translations, gg. |:< "Get me my shirt." "The one that makes me look like a fucking badass." |

| More could have been done with this episode... My expectations may be too high! But! Phobias always sprout from something in the past. I would've liked to have seen anything about that. Then again, it's only 23 minutes long--not a lot of time. Still a gooder though. Cutting off the table edges. (: |
 |
| great episode...i cracked myself up from laughing when dude was cutting the table xD 5/5 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Fcvking hilarious!!!! |
| That was one hell of hilarious episode. Although the problem wasn't fully cured but at least he's trying to fight his phobia. LOL @ Doghead. :D And Mayumi was hotter in this one. <3 Also some tie-ins from the previous patient's episode. Esp. the goggle-stabbing. LMAO |
| Loooooooove it! I love yakuzas with kind hearts. hudhuidhdgfy ;A; |
| Mayumi smiled. :D |
| Not my favorite. Probably because I was falling asleep. |
 |
| Lolwut this episode, that sure must be a bit troubling if you're in a group and being afraid of pointy things :p |
 |
| Afraid of sharp objects huh? I think some of us can relate to that but like this show, it takes it to a more of extreme. That's not a bad thing though obviously. |
 |
| LOL funny episode, loved it, too bad he wasn't cured by the end of the episode, but he's working toward it I see. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| "The-The Quack here is from fuckin' Hiroshima." haha This episode was really funny. And kinda cute, too x) |
 |
| I wonder how he reacts to poking. |
 |
| his girlfriend was by far the best character in this. |
  |
| Dam, that guy is a badass. Ironic that his one weakness was sharp objects, well other than his girlfriend xD |
 |
| How can you be in the yakuza and know full well there is plenty of danger and pointy things? I feel like realistically he would not survive. |
 |
| Lots of moe yakuza this episode. Mirorin said: Heavens do exist. Mayumi smiled. :D |
 |
| Mayumi's smile after she injected him, it's nice xD Ah so that's why he screamed in a few previous episodes before Good thing he didn't put his tattoo to a place where he can see, because the horn is pretty sharp xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Not much food for thought compared to other episodes, but was pretty hilarious. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| By the way, it's been a long time since the "adult" version of Irabu appeared...I think it was absent from the 2 previous episodes |
| Being afraid of needles is quite common but this guy pushed that fear on another level, and it doesn't fit a yakuza for sure xD |
 |
| It was good to finally see Sei's story. I remember the google pen scene during episode one and the weird ending with the table, I always assumed Sei shoved his goggles into the edge of the table since he kept poking the pen with them, him cutting them off is even funnier though. Pretty funny episode, I really liked the injection scene due to Sei's fear, and the scared puppy face were always amusing. I also liked the resolution with Yasu also having a form of OCD, and tbh his security blanket syndrome is the most I've related to one of these issues. It was also a really great episode for highlighting the pros of the series structure. I really loved using the calendar to transition to & from the flashback, that was really creative. Similarly, I liked using Sei's real-life eyes on his back tattoo. And otherwise, it's just great for all the interconnectivity, seeing the Christmas party and Irabu taking the picture for Tsuda, the aforementioned finally seeing Sei's story, the off-hand mention to Taguichi's problem, seeing Bando in the background, and that "fear of edges" was brought up by Fukuicchi ages again with our first OCD patient. And sports reporter Iwamura is finally getting his spotlight episode, been waiting for that one for awhile. |
| I knew I recognized this dude freaking out over the corner of a table. But, that brings up another question about Irabu. He almost acts like he doesn't even recognize Sei when he's over Kamashita's shoulder acknowledging they are Yakuza. So, again, how is Irabu treating and interacting with these various patients simultaneously and, yet apparently, independently of one another? Though, he does appear to have multiple forms, so there's that. It seems like the closer we get to the end of the series, the more they are explaining how everything is woven together. Subsequently, I seem to like this series more and more with each passing episode. I'm going to miss this when it's over. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| I noticed it in the last episode, but I see Trapeze is bringing in previous patients as background characters. I actually like it when anime do this, as it makes their world seem interconnected without having a full cast of characters battling for screen time. Instead, it's just small cameos here and there, letting viewers know that the anime's both acknowledging previous episodes happened, and that their stories are still continuing on the side. Anyways, I see we have more variations to OCD, of which requires a different approach to try and treat. The approach here regarding Belonephobia uses continuous exposure to try and forcefully get the patient used to whatever they fear. I've heard of this method before, but it does seem trauma-inducing if taken the wrong way. |
