| um... that was a rather realistic play? not really unexpected but I didn't want them to graduate/die so early T.T gotta love the part where the audiences totally fell for it and the teacher seems to be feeling accomplished about the play lol~ So in the end Shiena is a total side character that didn't even have the chance to try and kill Haru? That's just sad?? == |
| I really wished this anime wasn't a battle royale anime which will limit the amount of character development for each character. I enjoyed this episode though since I like the implementation of Shakespeare's play into this episode. |

I enjoyed this episode though since I like the implementation of Shakespeare's play into this episode. The manga had some development to the characters before they get offed. Chitaru interacted with Tokaku about Angel Trumpet, but that was cut out. It's an adaptation that's going past the manga, and they do have to rush some things. Dangan Ronpa had the same issue with their cast of characters getting eliminated at a fast rate without fleshing them out. And not to mention the trials and investigations were pretty rushed... For the episode, knew Kirigaya was Angel Trumpet. Knew Chitaru and Kirigaya were going to die together somehow. Shiena dying... didn't really think anyone in the cast would get one-shotted like that. |
| The one thing that I'd love to see is a lesbian yandere. |
| I like how they did this ep but wow 3 people out in one episode, sad ending too. I wonder who's going to be next. |
| I laughed at Shiena. She even had no ED song. lol Yeah, this episode was sweet and romantic. Qpax said: Oh by the way what's the answer to this week's riddle: "You can find _ on pretty floıwers". Since flower might refer to Hitsugi my guess is that sweet people like Hitsugi might be "poisonous". Even though they look sweet outside just like flower but their torn might kill you. Correct me if I am wrong. That would be appricated thanks ^^/) I think you are right. As for the riddle (綺麗な花には□□がある, Kirei na Hana niha _ ga aru.), it is a well-used phrase in Japanese, "Kirei na Hana niha Doku ga aru". Doku means poison. |

| It was a good episode. A sad one. Though, I found it a bit forced, especially at the end, and so I couldn't help laughing a little bit... I'm a terrible person :P It was so fucking hilarious how they used the plant to censor Chitaru body xD Like I said, I found it a little bit forced. Like when Hitsugi come out of nowhere and tell Chitaru that she was the Angel Trumpet. Why would she do so? She's a psychopath, why would she give a damn about Azuma. Also, when Chitaru drank the poison, I found it a bit stupid. Why would you get attached so much to a girl you met some months/weaks ago and that fooled you for such a long time? The way she killed herself looked like a bad acting :P I started laughing even more when the public started applausing and someone said ''I thought they were really dead at the end!'' xD |

| So were basically in uncharted territory compared to the manga. It started off the usual with a girl getting semi closer to Ichinose (director-actor) but she got taken out before I even had a chance to try and forget her name later on. Then we advance on to the ever growing side romance between Chitaru and Hitsugi. So when it comes down to the reveal/betrayel it was a pretty big twist. Though in proper Romeo & Juliet anime play fashion the final scene gets messed up. And instead we get a pretty sentimental murder/suicide which I'll put down as one of the most emotional scenes this year. |

| That ending .. what a tragedy... |
The higher I get , The lower I'll sink. |
| Well damn, 3 girls out in one episode. |
 |
| Best couple died. And to each other to boot. So sad :( |
 |
| Honestly I thought it was extremely cheesy. Are the assassins idiots? It was so obvious that she was Angel Trumpet(wtf kind of name is that btw). How could she mistake Ichinose for it? Next to zero back story explanation and their deaths were just awfully done. |
| So beautifully tragic. Just like the real story. |
 |
| Best episode so far. I didn't expect anyone to be killed when no one died in the first 5 episodes. |
| The best episode so far, since not only was it about the only actually interesting characters, but people actually died. At last. |
| Best episode so far :) broke pattern. Hoping to see more episode this well made |
| That was a touching ending tbh :c |
 |
| At the beginning of Akuma No Riddle, I had no expectations for my heartstrings to be pulled. Episode 6 gave what I'd never considered possible for this show in high measure. Hitsugi and Chitaru's relationship has always been a source of intrigue for me- I've repeatedly felt, same as I do with a lot of characters and their interactions in this show, that there was something much bigger and consequential behind it all. Hitsugi is also revealed, perhaps unsurprisingly, The Black Class' Romeo and Juliet play is utilized again as a plot driver in this episode, but to much more chilling effects that I certainly was not expecting. Of note is Chitaru and Tokaku's sword fight- the fight scenes are always impeccably put together in Akuma No Riddle, and often enhanced by little things such as lighting, background, and in this one, outfits, all of which are shown here. Lastly was that climax scene. I have nothing more to say, other than I don't have the slightest idea how next week is going to top this. |
 |
| Having 3 people to lost in this episode is sad. Shiena's sudden defeat was bad. But, Chitaru and Hitsugi's death was heartbreaking and horrible. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| I felt like the anime was becoming a bit average and repetitive, but this episode was definitely a step up. I had a feeling for a the entire episode that she would end up being Angel Trumpet. Will sadly miss them both, I really liked them. |
| For those for didn't notice it either, so far the assassin's that have been defeated only left with minor injuries. The fact that Hitsugi and Chitaru died is pretty saddening. |
| love this episode. I love that ending. |
 |
| I'm actually kinda shocked they killed someone off finally. It was very sad ending though. |
My Candies:     |
| That suicide felt so forced. She kills her because she killed someone she barely knew, but she loved Kirigaya so much that she kills herself afterwards? No surprise that Kirigaya was Angel Trumpet, after her reaction when Angel Trumpet was mentioned I wonder how the students thought they made the knife stick to her chest.. |

Thank you for your explanation as always dear good sir! |
| wow that was really good |
 |
| This episode was kind of cheesy and predictable bleh. BUT WTF KEN'MOCHI LEFT/FAILED SO SUDDENLY LIKE WHAT???? I mean I guess..... The ED song was nice. Misawa, Sachika as Chitaru and Uchida, Mami as Kirigaya have really nice voices. Mostly Chitaru's voice hehe (biased). |
| That ending was depressing... and how did they not notice the knife? |
| ~ ビーせんぱい We stand in awe of that which cannot be seen, and we respect with every fiber that which cannot be explained. |
| Well, Romeo & Juliet exceeded my expectation, and the ending to play was fitting. If only the series was longer, this arc would have been emotionally stronger with more backstory to Angel Trumpet & Chitaru. Good ep and awesome ED, really enjoyed it. |
 |
| Who cares if three were killed in one episode? If it was one per episode it would be way too predictable and boring. In my opinion this episode was fantastic. To be able to integrate Romeo and Juliet perfectly into the actual story is unbelievable. I'm actually very impressed. |
| They pulled off the Romeo & Juliet aspect really well. Shiena got offed in like 5 seconds tho, lol. |
| Is Shiena coming back?Poor girl.LOL |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Oh man, where do I start? The episode itself was kind of a feels trip. it was sad to see the cutest yuri couple in the show die. Now this is where it goes downhill. Everything in this show is way too predictable. Since it's a battle royal style anime, I was expecting some insane mind-fuck story altering plot twists like in Mirai Nikki...sadly this is not the case whatsoever. Whoever is getting axed from the show is always the first fucking person they show at the beginning of each episode, and that hasn't changed at all. They said that Angel Trumpet used poisons derived from a flower in the manga, and Hanabusa is shown in the promo picture with a flower, so I personally was hoping that Kirigiya despite being in Angel Trumpet wasn't going to be Chitaru's mentor's actual killer. (Also footnote: in the manga Angel Trumpet is described as an organization, while in the anime it was more of a nickname for the assassin herself). But of course they went the predictable route and then just killed Chitaru in the process. It's a shame because I expected so much more from the show. I was hoping that each character was going to get a decent amount of development and not just a 3 minute flashback before the leave. This is just following a completely bland and plotless, "oh somebody is going to get cut in each of the 12 episodes until it's over" type of battle royal. The worst part is that this is one of the extremely rare instances where the anime is better than the manga. The manga is extremely slow-paced with choppy dialogue, and the chapters always seem to cut off randomly, (not like a cliffhanger, like you expected there to be a next page and then it just stops), and then the chapter following the cut off doesn't leave off from where the last one stopped. I'm not going to drop it and I'll just enjoy it for what it is: senseless fighting with no character development with people leaving every episode. I'm just disappointed that both and manga and the anime had SO MUCH potential and it was all thrown away. |

Zapredon said: Is Shiena coming back?Poor girl.LOL Shiena in our memories: Her glasses were broken by a sadistic lust murderer. She was a strict director of the drama. Shiena got defeated in a few seconds. She couldn't even fight. No ED song and no short clip. |
| I didnt expect those two to die already. But I like this episode the most out of all of them so far. |
| that was a pretty good rendition of romeo and juliet i must say lol |

I'm just disappointed that both and manga and the anime had SO MUCH potential and it was all thrown away. Uh, I don't think the anime > manga. They cut out some scenes with the other characters and changed Tokaku a bit. The manga has some breather room to continue developing the characters, while the anime has to pump out the episodes for this season. 12 episodes, 2 of which were introductory episodes, wouldn't be enough to cover all 12 characters well enough. Dangan Ronpa is another adaptation that cuts corners in development and story, simply because condensing stuff you learn in like 30 hours of free-time events while balancing the story all in 12 episodes isn't possible. From the anime, I barely got anything from Leon in the anine, who died like immediately but got quite a bit of background from his free-time events. |
| The one thing that I'd love to see is a lesbian yandere. |
| it feels like they're trying to kill characters off too quick. But I really liked those two, they were really cute ;;. I don't think there was enough character development, I hope we find out more about their backstories and stuff ouo I should probably check out the manga raws or smth. o/ |
| That double death at the end and the people clapping for it. ._. |
| It seems like a new character attempts an assassination each week, in this case three, but my problem is one episode isn't enough time to develop these characters. I don't feel attached to any of the characters and when they're gone, I could care less. Hopefully with less characters this anime will become more focused. I really dislike the pacing so far. Also for a show about assassins, it took them long enough to kill someone. I was expecting Mirai Nikki, and I'm not getting Mirai Nikki. |

| All these deaths would've been sadder if any of the characters had received any kind of development at all, but since they basically introduced a fuckton of them at the beginning and then just proceeded to hastily spotlight a few each episode before killing them off, it's getting boring really fast |
