Nice to see a touch of comedy in this episode with Zwei burning the food he was making. It does kinda look like it's gonna be Ein vs. Zwei, I wonder how that's gonna go down?

Not a bad episode, but nothing special though.
This reminds me of Blue gender, where male character started with feelings and as a beginner, while female character started without emotions, just to...etc...
Anyhow, character development reminds me of it, but never mind.

I really hope they kill each other in the end, rather than cliché ending with main characters vs their employer.

I think they'll take down the doctor somewhat earlier than the ending. Being this is over 20 episodes, a lot will happen and the Scythe Master has to go, and I am not too keen on Claudia, either.

I want to see more REAL flashbacks from when the two people were on the swings together as students, with their backpacks nearby - that has to be them.

And what's with that dog??? D:

Hard to watch this and not think the OVA was significantly better.

There really hasn't been a ton of interaction between Ein and Zwei to really show they have any sort of meaningful relationship outside of both being phantom. About the biggest event if one could even call it that was when Zwei saved Ein at the hotel and even that was minor. Although i guess after this episode we could also add saying "take care" to each other.

So now next episode it looks like there may be a conflict between them (although i still don't understand why scythe master isn't doing something about Claudia's extremely obvious attempt to undermine his power) and at the same time not enough has happened to really make them fighting each other a painful event. I suppose what will happen is most of it will be based on "love at first attempted assassination" with some other supporting acts of minor affection.

nina4life: watch the ova.

The OVA only covered 1/3 of the actual story of the visual novel and the ending was also completely different. The current arc, which lasts for 11 episodes, is only really the introduction to the story. You'll be seeing some major character development taking place throughout the anime, much more so than in the OVA.

I'm liking this series more now, looks like Claudia is trying to set Scythe Master up, maybe this will mean he'll be out of the picture earlier than I thought he would. Meanwhile she continues to put the moves on Zwei. Can't wait for what they have in stored for the episodes up till 26.

Another good episode, finally got to see what happened in Zwei's past in regards with his encounter with Ein. Claudia and Scythe plot rises to a new level thats beginning to affect Zwei/Ein. Ein showing more emotion of course tho she cuts it off as irrelevant.:). Show continues to be one of the top animes this spring.

Since when does getting into an F40 in front of your house and drifting all over town started to be a part of keeping a low profile?

@Kvakond - since when does driving f40 count as keeping a low profile? :)

Moreover, if he was driving slowly, now THAT would have been suspicious :)

It was another great episode! Probably the best suspens episode I've ever seen. It had an incredible atmosphere there, and the climax on the railways was just a masterpiece. I don't have a clue how it is going to end, but I definetely don't want it to end like Kite(similar story).

I really liked this episode, especially after last week's ep. The slow pace really suits this show and for me the time seemed to fly by. I think it's a little early for the Ein/Zwei showdown. Having them square off now would destroy all the little bits that have started to build up between them.

I also really like Claudia as a character. The sexy seductress/manipulator is always fun to watch.

Back to boring. This was a pretty pointless episode in that it was centered around the flashback, and it wasn't particularly enlightening in any way. It just underscored what Scythe Master said in the beginning.

Regardless though, Claudia is seemingly trying to wrangle power by having Zwei and getting rid of Ein and SM, as expected. Seem to be going along as telegraphed.

Great episode. Good development / setup. Seems like next episode Clau is going to turn against Scythe Master. I hope this is were Ein and Zwei decide to protect each other rather than take orders.

Interesting even if expected developments in this episode. Nothing much, Mashimo just took his usual slow pace once again and I guess it will be like that till the end.

After DLing all of the fansub groups who subs RFTP, I have finally found the sub-group to follow. NO OP. Pretty simple. I never cared for the OP in the 1st place and UW has no ego on having their signature on the OP like Nekomimi or Desire. I hope they continue with it because Desire recently got a C/D. And nekomimi is one of those fly-by-night subbers whom no one knows if they will continue or not.

Fufufu, pretty nice one. This attitude of Ein is a bit annoying but mysterious. I can't wait fore the next one.
Have anyone read the manga?
I still think that Ein x Zwei pairing is possible and Claudia is treating him as a toy.

Okay, very good episode. Things have gotten quite serious.

The Inferno's leader and Ms. McCunnen has a plan. A plan that involves destruction of Scythe Master and Ein if they do things on their own.

Ms. McCunnen is also starting to charm Zwei.

I think there's going to be a big explosion inside the Inferno organization.
and I don't think Zwei and Ein will fight since it's clear that they have emotions for each other.

I have some uncertainties about this show...I really like the part with Ein and Zwei, but the mafia intrigue seems somewhat lacking. Not the plot itself, but the characters...I know they are supposed to be hardened criminals but in Black Lagoon the criminal syndicate leaders and various other criminals all had tons of personality and were memorable. These characters just fall flat, they seem to have no emotions or personality differences between them...

I hope it picks up.

it was a good episode, nice actually to get a little toned down than the past couple that is! But yeah got to see a little into Zwein's past, and how they encountered, which was cool..... I think its setting itself up nicely, 26eps long, I think this does have potential but we shall see
