Yay, I still have no idea what was happening. Especially all the stuff at the end.

I don't find it confusing anymore. Pretty good episode, it explained how Otoha became Karas as well as other things that were not clear.

I thought the confrontation with his brother\dad could have been better but it is probably due to the voice acting of otoha.

And man that's alot of blood.

I get what's happening but this anime is just terrible at explaining it properly. Also, that bad guy's dialogue is so pointless. Everything he says is like those recycled lines you get which mean absolutely nothing. They made this show even more shallow than it previously was.

Still, maybe there are some concepts that should be explained.

I agree but some of the details and visual imagery conveys that chaos presented in the series so far. Who knows, maybe everything will be unraveled in the end.

God

DAMN

Now I'm starting to wish that the plot was more like Gungrave's. Instead of mafia, it would be yakuza. The confrontation of Otoha and his dad randomly evoked suspense. Sad that his younger brother was just a device to show Otoha's past.

But seriously, that was just an "OH SHIT" moment when they flashbacked after showed him getting shot and falling. I almost forgot about that.

Nice music with perhaps, one of the best modern animation in anime. Tatsunoko Pro REALLY knows how to animate realistically. Every single fucking detail. The reflections of city lights on the car windows, the reflections of cars on the shades of Nue, every single fucking thing is SUPERB. And the movements of the CG humanoids. They don't stay stiff and are in constant motion.

A+

that was the weakest "nya" I ever heard, yurine's voice is pretty weird. I liked the flashback story, there are still some mysteries. Great episode

I loled when I heard her meow.

This episode explained a lot about the story and characters. Really wish this was 2 episodes back, not after half the story's over.

Ok, now they are deliberately trying to be confusing. There is no other reason they would have done it that way.
There were many better way to explains what happened than doing it this way and in that order.

Well, I guess at least we have his backstory and why he was in the hospital but again, annoying way to presente it.

That massacre at the bar was very cool and bloody!

Aww, his bromance died. That sucks. He also forgot about him. lol

It must suck to have that kind of relationship with family.

That female Karas is cute. I wish she has more screen time.
