Lol, poor Worick.

Interesting episode though.
I liked how it explored other places in Ergastulum, including a gun shop. Lol, the store owner had a thing for Alex XD

Speaking of which, it looks like she is going through some breakdown again...
I liked the thrilling feel of this episode as it continuously to establish the underworld that is part of their society. I think Alex also really needs to be more careful of herself.

Man Alex looked so fucking hot in that dress and she has such a beautiful voice >//< The Cristiano family are pretty kind themselves for doing what they do for Twlights

It made me smile to see that the song she sang is what she used to sing to her little brother, and I'm willing to bet anything that the dude that appeared in the hood is her little bro

These anti-twilight people are out of control and although Worrick and Nico managed to save some of them, looks like Erica and that kid are about to fuck shit up next episode O_O

She didn't wait for a shower scene before she started groping Alex's breast lol. (¬‿¬)


Alex was a bombshell in that white dress & she has a lovely voice. I'm so glad the song wasn't in ENGRISH.

I see the Cristiano family in a new light, especially with their boss sincerely greeting the Twilights.

Alex looks great as a child too, with her brother and all. That hooded guy and his reaction to the song, it would be great for it to not only be Alex looking for her little brother but the other way around too.

Despite the situation, the mood was very nice inside the place.

Alex's brother is confirmed to be alive at least, it's probably that guy with the hood. I actually thought he would be dead.

Nice episode. Not a lot of action, so I'm guessing this is still buildup for the next (and probably last for this season) arc. Nic and Worrick's relationship seems to be pretty complicated, ne? I mean, I love it. But it's just a bit odd to understand it. I think they see each other as a friend though? I hope so.

Nic helping/ comforting Alex was sweet. And Worrick with the whole "Sorry for taking my eyes off you" was also so nice and heartwarming. They both care about her. Not to mention, Alex's voice is wonderful! I loved the song too! It was nice to hear a soothing purely Japanese song in the mix of all that Engrish of Charlotte. And she was so pretty under the lighting! (Was that her little brother walking by...? No way... But maybe?)

Those whisks though. Love the instrumentation of it. Piano, drums (with whisks), upright bass, and voice (definitely alto) seems pretty jazzy to me. Small group style.

As always, can't wait for the next episode. I'll probably fall behind cause I'm moving next week, but this is a favorite of mine this season. Then again, I'll probably put this as a priority to watch.

Pretty good episode. Noticed a lot of art derps in the first half and a little bit in the second half, but it didn't distract me from the actual content.

The stuff with Alex and her brother was pretty sad. I was expecting Alex to bust out some Engrish when she was singing, but I'm glad she didn't.

Probably one of the best episodes so far. I loved the lighthearted feel of the first half and the dramatic feel of the second half. The transition was really well done. I really like the Cristiano guys.


The hooded guy is 100% Alex's brother. His skin colour, his facial expresion and how hard he tried to enter the Bastard when he heard Alex's singing proved as much. I really hope they meet in the next episode.

alex took the spotlight this episode, literally. we're finally getting to know more about her and hear her sing too! she's got a lovely voice...
also....that song sounded familiar, like i've heard an old english version of it somewhere..

overall i love the ep... my only complaint is the poor animation...it's sad because the series is awesome and i just want the best for it. =(

I haven't watched the ep completely. I'm at the part where Alex was crying infront of the Gunshop. She was talking about her brother then someone came to a gate. And had the same skin color as Alex makes me wonder could it be her brother? Could he also be a Tag? What would he do if he found out his sister was a prostitute? So many questions, this show is really getting more interesting by the minute ...

Lol Constance didn't even hesitate to feel Alex's boobs. So lucky. If this was an ecchi anime, there's no doubt that that would have taken place in a shower.

Alex seems to be still having bad memories, but it was nice to see Nic comfort her. Despite how he acts, he really cares about her. Same with Worrick when he apologized for taking his eye off of her.

Alex looked stunning in that dress, and her singing was also really good. Sucks that Nic won't be able to hear it. I thought it was interesting to hear such a peaceful song while Worick and Nic were dealing with all that craziness. And that was definitely her brother in the hoodie, considering the way he reacted when he heard her singing, along with the title of the next episode. Can't wait to see what comes next.

What I'm wondering about is that secretly guy walking around the city with his hood on. I have allowed myself to do some small comparison and I think it might actually be a Alex's brother since he never visited or been in Ergastulum plus his hair style and skin colour is matching his profile. Also the face somehow looks similar as well. If the bond between Alex and her brother was that strong as she claims, he could went for a trip to find her. Also that scene where he passes Bastard looks like he could recognised her voice but it could be just clear coincidence. The only aspect I'm most concern about is about that age gap since from the Alex's memories looks like she was the older one. It's also interesting how they got separated since this topic wasn't touched yet.

Alex's dress and hair style was the best!!! her singing was so good too, even though they changed the song I was so looking forward to, and I'm not even disappointed, I'm rather happy with this one too, hopefully she'll be able to find her brother..
Connie is a sweetheart, finally she showed up, and when Marco appeared I was like WHERE IS MAKISHIMA??? since they had the same voice actor, this anime never fails me the choice of voice actors, they're the best!! and that moment when Nicolas was comforting Alex, that was so sweet, many funny moments too, Worick never lets a chance pass by lol however many terrible thing are happening at the same time, the anti-twilights thing..

I think it's probably safe to assume that the guy in the hoody who wasn't allowed into Bastard is Alex's brother, which would be interesting even if him appearing in the same episode as when he is first mentioned seems a tad contrived. On a different note, Alex's song was fantastic.

I think one needs to take the drug. This line "I'm sure you're afraid of them because you don't know about them" and rather defenseless twillights appearing this episode makes me think they are victims of some experimentation (to create super soldiers) with low success rate. An A or B level might be insanely strong but a D is not that different from a normal human being (Delico), maybe even handicapped due the 'price' they have to pay. Some incident in the past has led to a faction hating all the twillights due to some monsters.

Jeah I was also wondering about twilights because it seems like they are actually the victims (Worrick was a C or something, so he can obviously handle some normal humans, but other seem quite uncapable in terms of fighting)
I hope we get to know more about those twilights, we are like Alex, dont know whats going on. Also it seems like she started her "work" quite young (since she lost her memory from what happened before the TBs) the again, I dont know how old characters are in this show. Only is they are super small like the girls or the one boy its obvious they are younger ^^

I really really hope this show sells well so we can get more seasons. Its the anime of the season for me.

I loved her singing even though I didn't understand it.

I'm willing to bet that the guy in the hoodie outside the club was her brother. The name of the next episode "Siblings" kinda confirmed it.

Geh, the art and animation at the middle of the episode was so damn bad.... It made the episode really hard to enjoy, cause visual things are important to me...

Gladly the art was better at the start and end.

And well Gangsta is gangsta, even if the animation fails me at times, still can't help but wait for the next episode.
And Nic as always 10000000000000000/5.

Sounds like it's going to be resolved next ep because the next ep's title is "siblings". I think it would have had more impact if they never met each other again.
