Ringo is annoying. Even if you don't believe him, you shouldn't punch him. Can't stand unreasonably violent girls >.> Plus, you're creepy as hell and get jealous too easily. I hope the pretty actress wins Tabuki

Kanba is the sweetest <3 And so manly :') I hope he isn't involved in some terrible organization to gain money :( That girl looked like she shot some sort of memory erasing penguin ping pong gun with the same logo as Kanba's pay D':>

Anime logic - get's dragged by a fast moving truck, doesn't die miserably.
But then we also have invisible penguins and magic and shit, who am i kidding?

Interesting episode, a lot of things start to move in terms of the plot. There's some organization with some penguins as a symbol (these are different from standard ones), and Kanba contacted them somehow. Masako from this organization actually assaulted Asami (she's the girl in black stockings). Ringo is now aware of the magic of the hat. She also seems to be abandoned by her father, I guess he's in affair with another woman now. There was a nice reference to "The Kiss" by Klimt in the restaurant scene, which reflected Ringo's affection for her father (before she got rekt). Poor girl, she's just constantly being slapped in the face by fate. By the way, her father's trinket, a "flower snake", is present in the ED, among other symbols.

There's also a new subway station - Kasumigaseki. That's where Kanba boards the train and receives the money. This station was also targeted by the sarin attack.

Also, I just thought that it's hardly a coincidence that the penguin hat claims to be from the destination of the Takakura brothers’ fate and the oceanarium is located at the end of the Marunouchi line in Ikebukuro. Their fate is connected to the place of Himari's death.

Best episode so far.

I have no idea what the hell this show is trying to be, but I'm loving every second of it. Characters aren't nearly as tropey as I was expecting.

Not that I have anything to contribute that hasn't already been said, but I'm a little sad I'm here 10 years too late to join the as-it-aired discussion.

atleast himari had the gall to call ringo a stalker bitch and ethical whore after all that ringo did. Which may be more reason why all this is most likely delusion.

secret's out

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Crazy how much emphasis this episode puts on the siblings' and Ringo's parents, what they used to be to them, what they are now and how they shape their kids' ideals, hopes and identities. Also penguin bullets lol.

Ringo crawling out of the trapdoor hole in cuffs was very extra, but was genuinely pretty badass for what it symbolized about her stance on fate.

Speaking of badass, Kanba retrieving the hat from Truck-kun doing a kidnapping side gig was some much needed spotlight time for the other bro.

Her design has to be a reference to Juri from rgu.
Great episode as always.
