| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Eh..another case but I guess this one had more interest since it wasn't so obvious. I'm still somewhat impressed by the technological aspects on the show though, more than it originally advertised. Glad they are giving Noro somewhat more of a role. Hanasaki's boomerang skills not to be underestimated ;o Honestly, I feel like the episode could work better in a small arc or 2-part though. I'm also guessing we'll finally get a legitimate threat against Akeichi? |

| Most useless security ever. Good episode, i still find this entertaining enough. The main dude was cool this time around as well. |
| I liked this episode's case a lot more than last week's. Also, I hope 20 Faces will start to play a more significant role in the story soon. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL has unfortunately become a brain dead extension of the worst and most moronic aspects of Twitter |
| Decent episode. Case was interesting enough, Looks like the whole thing was just a front for organ trafficking. Still no idea how Kobayashi's power works, After last episode I thought that it's triggered only when he's about to get hurt but based on the opening scenes that doesn't seem to be the case. It's not like he can control it as well. Akechi's rules though. :3 Looks like the half masked man at the end has a bone to pick with Akechi, Should be interesting. Smudy said: Most useless security ever. Pretty much this. xD |
 |
| well apart from the case.. I liked the whole episode altogether |
 |
| Still not feeling this show. I don't find hanasaki interesting at all, he just seems too.......robotic. Like I don't care for him at all and it doesn't feel genuine. Kobayashi is still acting the same. I do hope the story starts picking up with that little tease at the end. |
| Nah this isn't getting me interested at all. This was a pretty boring episode. The mystery didn't come off as interesting or whatever. I'll maybe give it just one more episode because the dude at the end just might spice things up a bit. But if he's gonna take another 5 or whatever episodes to start things then goodbye. |
| Noro interests me. I want to know her story. More confused than ever about how this power works too, it's coming off as a bit of a deus ex macina power. It works and doesn't work depending on the story. I'm sure we'll see it contradict itself soon because it doesn't appear to have any rules to it from the creative side. Just how it's comkng across so far anyway. |
| Hm, not too bad, starting to bring characters together, I suppose. This is 24 episodes after all, so they can take their time. But they really need to continue with the 20 Faces stuff. I enjoyed this episode, even though I don't fully understand everything that happened. |
 |
| Thought it was gonna be a paradise for NEETs at first glance and then I saw the dark side of this whole operation... Rip |
| It feels like it's kinda getting weaker this show. The episode and case was so-so honestly. |
  |
| The characters of this show are all so unbearable. Another OK episode, nothing special but not bad either. I really hope the guy at the end makes the show a little bit more interesting because it has been rather boring so far. |
 |
| Aww tsundere Kobayashi! I kinda like Hanasaki a little more, he was quick to think of something in that situation. I like this episode, better than the last one. Definitely a long way to go, so his powers will be explained later on. |
 |
| Despite a meidocore start I can't lie and say I didn't like this episode. It was interesting, but still extremely rushed. I wish they had looked a little more into the "old man"'s life before he just got wheeled away to get his organs harvested. I guess i'll keep watching ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Smudy said: Most useless security ever. Right haha. They just stood their. Didn't even bother trying to shoot or accost this guy and let him talk into his badge. Then again the doctor was taking forever to explain to him why they should "just go home and forget about all this" lmfao.....like they would do that |
I couldn't think of anything cool to put here.  |
| hm this episode kinda bored me~ |
 |
| Another pretty meh episode. I've already stated I don't really like the characters, so I'll just go off on a tangent here. The pink girl's really been bugging me how she seemingly never goes out into the outside world. Now, if I were one of the show's writers, I'd definitely have some episode done the line that explored what would happen if she went off to solve mysteries with Hanasaki and Kobayashi without her owl. That'd be nice to see. |
| Cross-country >>>>>>>>>>>> Every other sport |
| hahahahaha. I am Kobayashi, for sure. Don't even want to be here, mess things up without trying to, but obey the laws given. A lot of 'holes' but.... hahaha get it, his power makes holes to go with the plot :D |
  |
| Episode was meh for me. Still can't stand the characters. They are unbearable to watch. The case they were doing was interesting. Getting tricked to have their organs taken is terrible. I hope this series gets better with the guy at the end. |
 |
| An alright episode I guess the case is much better than the previous one. So looks like 20 faces gonna play a part next episode. Wtf is that security O_o |
 |
| Idk if i can handle that little fuckers edgyness anymore |
| Nice episode! this episode has dark vibes.. with a lot sweet jokes. I hope this anime gonna preserve and or increased it's quality.. *Akechi accepted the job caused of money.. And somewhat he looks doing crap noooothing in this episode* Isn't he supposed to be the main character? Anyway "don't call me sensei" rule.. is it even needed? huh well.. Their hi-tech device were perfectly used hell like a pro --beside their position as high schoolers qq. The crap main villain, Makishima Shougo 20 faces is coming! His design character is somewhat sucks lol. |
We did this every day that summer. There wasn’t a day we missed.  "I love you, air conditioner." |
| How the fuck does his powers work? Anything that comes into his range the force field repels it? Or can he use it on his own? When the old man motioned them to get in his room, how was he able to get in without destroying the door? Why was he able to not able to eat the ramen noodles in the first episode due to his power but in this episode he was able to catch the grappling hook? So damn inconsistent. |
| Way better than episode 2,I somehow find this case is better than the previous ones.Since it's more related to the high technology setting of this anime and finally the main protagonists get along more together,but still there's one problem,it's mentioned in the following quote.

I totally agree with this quote.The cases aren't related to each other and I still don't get how the supernatural power works,it's so random. But at least,we could see the characters are getting more and more closer in each episode,that's the only consistent part of this anime. |
 Life is empty without anime |
| @gov lol he can destroy doors, but the door was already opened so it wasn't needed (he never destroyed doors that were already open) he destroyed the noodles cause they were too hot and would hurt him... the water gun part was kinda stupid but... i guess it was taken like it was a real gun, not sure about that one |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| Don't make powers that would create numerous contradictions and inconsistencies, like seriously. |
All people have their own sh*t tastes, therefore, there are no sh*t tastes, since everything is equally sh*t. A VERY LOGICAL PHILOSOPHY |

But at least,we could see the characters are getting more and more closer in each episode,that's the only consistent part of this anime. I think I "kinda" figured his power out with this episode. It looks like he can't control his power against organic things (humans, animals, food) and can activate it manually on objects (doors, walls, water (is water organic or not?)). He would just fall through floors if he couldn't control it at unorganic things. I'm pretty sure we get a better explanation in the upcoming episodes, but that's as far as I understood it. I might be completely wrong though, let's wait for an official explanation. Maybe they even want us viewers to figure out the power ourselfs o.o Bl4ckR4bbi7 said: An alright episode I guess the case is much better than the previous one. So looks like 20 faces gonna play a part next episode. Wtf is that security O_o Hell yeah. This episode had only a single cringe moment for me (that security you mentioned lol) and Hanasaki became likeable again. That Inou dude is annoying though, he's even more edgy than Kobayashi, which is already pretty hard to top. |
| To be honest, I'm not feeling this show. The characters keep falling into their individual tropes all too easily and it's not that fun to watch. Happy-go-lucky kid is becoming more and more annoying for no reason, ignoring the wishes of those around him, getting himself in danger without any consequences. How the heck did he manage to hide behind Immortal Boy without himself getting his feet sliced off to avoid the bullets is beyond me. Then there's logical wheelchair boy who thinks like a proper human being, but cannot manage to reel in his overly nutty companions, so ends up following them into whatever trouble they get themselves into. Then of course is Immortal Boy who acts all emo, but still manages to get duped into following orders anyway. Seriously, it's all been done before, and wasn't interesting when they did it then. Just because they tweak the setting to make it a few decades into the future doesn't make things any better. The case itself had a slight twist, but wasn't overtly clever either. Finding it hard to continue with this show... so let's see if episode 4 will mean the end of my viewing of it. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Whoa... An unexpected way for organ trafficking, huh? That was interesting. Smudy said: Most useless security ever. This. |
 |
| I'm not feeling this at allllll~ Everything seems to be pretty skeletal when it comes to plot and characters. Also, why is it that Kobayashi's power sometimes works and other times it doesn't? The characters themselves seem very typical as well, right now. At this point, I am watching this just so that I could listen to Gackt voice-acting that evil white-hair dude. |
 Once we seize space, we'll all... |

| Trying to be creative |
| normal episode but it looks like the real deal starts next week with 20 face |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Decent ep, doctor going into the organ trafficking business, there all probably places like that in real life and I don't completely disagree with his logic either. This is a good NEET unlike those bottom dweller nobodies.  Smudy said: Most useless security ever.\ Not really, they're up against superpower boy and if it wasn't for akechi calling Nao for mass police presence they would have gotten away. |
 |
| Organ trafficking omfg |
| I really liked this episode! As soon as I saw the little pods of surgeons I guessed the organ thing, so that was pretty cool. I'm really enjoying this series so far. Hopefully it keeps this up! |
StruckWith_Bolts said: hm this episode kinda bored me~ Same I was bored but I'm not giving up on this show yet |
 |
| Ok episode. The security were useless. Smudy said: Most useless security ever. |
 |
| Geez. This was another meh episode and the characters are still unlikable. I sure hope 20 faces spices things up in the next episode. Except that she works with the detective agency so she isn't a NEET. She's just a shut-in. |

Nemonce said: This is the first anime that has somehow successfully managed to get me to hate all of the main characters in less than three episodes. Me the same at first.. Or maybe then. RKarim69f117 said: The epsode was cool.But dont why the rating is soo fake for this anime.I demand a explaination! There are few reasons why people didn't enjoy the show. Many characters actually showing their naiveness and stupidity yet on those cool tecnology and gadgets. Also many unexplained things that actually worsening the genre itself. The story is pretty standard and the art was a bit awfull especially in episode 2. I rated this on 5 because of this xD but anyway i've changed it to 8 when the third ep was coming. The most concrete sample of comparison is the previous edogawa ranpo's worst ended anime adaption. Moreover this serie gonna be 24 episodes all along. So it isn't a penculiar thing to see these butthurts lol because i felt the same. |

| Kobayashi's power seems to be activated if something is gonna hurt him. Nice episode :). The MC is funny |
| I can't seem to like the MC... his pretty stupid and not the stupid funny kind, just plain stupid. |
| Nothing really happend in this episode but i still love this anime <3 |

Kobayashi's degrading into a 1d tsun, hopefully his character develops. |
