All dem flames!

Seems like Hibiki and Yamato still has some tensions. Hoping for more action next time but I'm glad Hibiki and Daichi are getting along quite well still. The episode was a bit meh for me though..

Cute Io:

Whoa!!! That tense scene with Hibiki, Yamato and Alcor. Hibiki leaves JPS. We find out Alcor made the Dead Face App. Yamato is hiding a secret and Makoto is suspicious.

Afterwards a relaxing moment with the gang. Glad Hibiki and Daichi friendship still in tack.

lol @ Io scene and the one afterwards.

A calm before the storm scenario because next time looks serious

Was good to learn more about Alcor and his role in everything. I think what would make me more engaged with the show is if it was less conspiracy plot and they focused on the main trio. Their scenes resonated with me the most this week.

I thought it was weird though how everyone's working together all of a sudden when nothing really happened to make them join forces save for the fact they all acknowledged Septentrion is a common threat. A little anticlimactic in a sense.

Don't make a face like that Io, I can't handle it!!

Yeah in the beginning it was a bit tense with all that but Hibiki know pretty much he would be dead without Yamato saved him.

Well, Io is so cute when she blush like that and the only one that she took a close look were Hibiki, so she pretty much like him.
Airi and Jungo still adorable as always.

Oh man it seem like Fumi got brainwashed again and will make Io as sacrifice hopefully she won't died.

Not so bad, Hibiki not going to be Yamato's pawn, but at least that doesn't mean he is going to listen to Ronaldo.

So Yamato will handle Tokyo all alone... ok, did not expect him to be that strong :o.
I don't remember Alcor revealing his identity that early on, then again the anime doesn't really follow the game's order of events anyway. This episode had serious as well as funny moments and was enjoyable to watch, definitely one of ther better ones.

A devil with that Sakurai-san's character... And he made the application?

Now there are 3 teams: the gov, resistance (with the leader is pre-police), and Hibiki (who's in between in thoughts).

lol @ after that. And meeting while ED. So that big breast girl is the sacrifice?

I really wish that this story would be more focus between Hibiki, Yamato, and Alcor. They are just so cool! I was expecting a bit action when Bifrons appeared, but this is good enough for me. Nice decision, Hibiki! You just need to follow yourself! LOL at the physical exam scene! Io is so cute when Otome implied her feelings for Hibiki! XD

I cannot help but think whether Yamato is a tsundere or he's just plain clueless about friends and such. I have to agree with Yamato on this one: those Japanese governments are really garbages, only thinking about themselves... No wonder Yamato wants to erase them. Again, about Yamato, he is SO COOL at the end, saying confidently that he alone is more than enough! Perhaps next time there would be a death clip of him, and this time Hibiki will come to the rescue :)

I really hope Io not die in this anime, I like her a lot. But...I thought Lugh is summoned when fighting Mizar?

All right all the characters are here and ready to fight......except Keita.

It sucks they killed him off, now wew don't get to see any of Keita and Jungo convo. Jungo trying to be friends with Keita and Keita constantly saying leave me the f alone.

Also love the instrumentals version of the game opening in the background.

It is. The anime just shows once again that Yamato, and therefore JP, is planning ahead.


Well. Yamato and TAO are awesome, maybe even better than in the game, but i just can't stand Hibiki. Ronaldo attacks TAO and Hibiki takes Ronaldo's side because "he will protect humans" without even wondering about ? Are you f***ing serious? He really is an immature brat.

About the end *spoiler for the game, don't read if you didn't do it*

This episode was actually quite faithful to te game, to be honest. And as a troper, I don't see so many tropes here.
Well, there are some parts like the examination part and TAO's """amnesia """ but even this wasn't that cliche. Otherwise, you'd seem cliches absolutely everywhere in every media.

That's why I said "forget the plot!".
The secret garden was a lot more fun in the game because it was one of those rare time where the characters could gathered and have some funny light-hearted moment together and forget about the end of the world.
But the anime turned it into...Ugh.

Anyway,I don't like how Makoto has less than half a fight so far.She was just standing there commenting for most of her screen times >_>

I guess they're going to skip the special demon summonings other than the important ones...unless the belly button was supposed to be foreshadowing.

They're most likely not going to have the terminal mishap with the face sitting...seeing as Fumi fixed it already, which makes me sad...I'd at least want Hibiki and Fumi to be antiquated on friendlier terms. Part of me is hoping they leave Hibiki's swag on and just have all the girls start orbiting him.

My guess was right about Hinako being alive since she appeared in last episodes ending but Keita didn't...speaking of which, since he's dead, Yamato replaces him like in the game, but they made him all the more bad-ass by going in alone.
What would have made him even more bad-ass is if he had obliterated the old bureaucrats as soon as they ticked him off, all while still eating in his seat whilst dead bodies lay bleeding across the floor.

Alcor's the mastermind, well given his enigmatic role so far, wasn't that surprising. The Anguished One, that sounds badass.

I liked this episode, got a bit of comedic downtime and it seems like ALL DA GIRLS have big tits. Lul.

Yamato, defending a whole branch by himself. What. It seems like this next demon might require simultaneous defeat if it's connected to its other "parts". Yamato doesn't seem like to guy to cooperate like that.

Joe's hilarious. And what's going on with Fumi?

Random thoughts

- Sacrificing the ED, this episode seems to pack as much preparation part as possible so that the next episode will see the fight start right away

- Government as a bunch of trash again

- Fumi got more exposure. What an amoral person she is - evacuation of citizens is useless, anybody can be sacrificed in order to obtain victory. Why it isn't her who is the deputy of Yamato? And the health checking is to find who is the best person for the sacrifice?

- It is not that usual to see an anime that involves Tokyo but the MC operates in another city (here it is Osaka).

- Just noticed that each demon has got its own seiyuu. I am impressed.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Yep, she's still on the ED, so, no, she's still alive. :D
Technically, Io, Airi, Hinako and Fumi has plot armor for a while, so they won't die... I hope.

Best episode yet. I feel connect with the characters more. Glad that Hinako survives.

Yamato, and Hibiki are a little bit more likable in this episode. I'm indifferent to Ronaldo so I don't care for his character development.

Poor Io, is she going to die? Who will get to have Lugh? Daichi is still a bit wimpy but he is a sensitive guy.

Jungo supposed to have death clip on Tuesday, right? Then it's possible he'll survive since his death doesn't appear. I really hope he's not going to die, he's funny and my number four most like character, especially the way she interacted with Airi! Just thinking when he casually carrying her bridal style makes me squeal XD

But...this is anime original, so it's possible other characters who doesn't die in the game might die in this series, or the death clips of the characters that could die in the game are postponed in the anime, showing up later.

And...this might be too late but, unlike in the game, Hibiki and Yamato has little interaction with each other and only talks when it's necessary (furthermore, not even once friendly), so won't it be weird for Yamato to immediately consider Hibiki as a friend? I don't think Yamato would be like that just because Hibiki is strong. Unless in this series, he had met Hibiki before but don't remember anything and such, or Alcor purposely sent Hibiki's death clip to Yamato (he's Nicaea's administrator after all, so it's possible like when in the game he sent Otome's death clip to the MC only).

It may have been an episode of transition, but it was still one of the best, even the requirement of the development of the characters, the episode had a nice rhythm and were shown all the characteristics of each character, one of the things I missed most in anime . I liked the first half, Alcor and his sentences deserves, and once again Yamato is shown attached to a world that despises, hopefully by the end of the character to be further explored and its true 'reason' revealed.

I hope for more deaths now `- ´

I have a lot of questions unanswered while the show is going on. I did not play the game nor wanted to play it. I just want to see some clarifications as i am really con
fused on how and why "this" and "that" happens. I don't care if i'm spoiled anyway.

These are my 2 queries: there are still about a few but i think it's better for me to find out myself.
- Can someone explain why the cities are being attacked by these creatures called "Serpentrion"??

- What's the Role of Fumi Kanno here? Is she some sort of a villain or an ally?

I am Sorry for asking this as it would lead to a Major/Minor Spoiler but I Really want to know now. For those people who are a bit considerate on answering my query, Just put a spoiler tag on it for safety purposes.

Oh my.., this is getting interesting! :D
This and episode 6 make the best episodes so far. Lol, I didn't expect to enjoy this anime this much, I thought it was going to be boring with all those "the man who knows all" attitude from the characters, especially Yamato, or the "confused and looks indesicive protagonist" behavior comes from Hibiki.
But now dem character developments, dem character backgrounds and personalities: Hibiki, Yamato, The Anguished One, Otome, Fumi, Makoto. So many! Good, really good, I love it!

Also more Fumi and Makoto! Yay! Oh God, Fumi! At last, long screen time for Fumi.. I can die in peace now, :p Have been waiting for this day to come.

Btw, those flames at the beginning surprised me as much as Ronaldo did.

Can't wait for next episode!

After watching this episode, I'm starting to make a connection between Makishima Shougo (Psycho-Pass) and Yamato. No, it's not the hair, but they seem to have a similar train of thought. And they also make badass villains (well, Yamato isn't one yet, but there's a chance that he does turn into one).

Overall, nice episode. Tense first few minutes with a lot of information thrown in. I wonder, what exactly is Alcor? Is he a human or is he a demon? Or is he some sort of a hybrid? My save file crashed and deleted itself and I haven't played since then, so I don't know. The end is also rather interesting. Why exactly does Kanno want to sacrifice Io for? I'm guessing Lugh is a demon, but why is Kanno going to sacrifice Io for it? Is she an ally or an enemy?

The episode looks really interesting, I liked the second part was hilarious, but I do not understand why for equal opportunities, there are also Pettanko in the female cast!

About the septentriones, it will or at least it should be explained later but: (quoting someone from other thread,it has spoilers)


As for fumi she's yamato's ally.
