| This show is way too good |
| check out odd taxi |
| Lol, in the middle of the episode when the new dude is thinking about who to blame, "Government" was represented with Trump xD |
| My God, best episode so far, I was so pulled into this story. Glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way, I was afraid everyone would think this was boring and random. |

| woah the narration was out of this world it was so captivating that i really felt my heart skip a bit when he "just" dropped the phone cause i knew how much it meant to him epic episode |
| No words to describe this insane level of script writing for an anime. Very rare to see various intersting plot threads slowly connect to each other in this type of media. Great work. Hopefully the show keeps this level till the end. |
| I feel so bad for him, what he gone through in life is so depressing and sad. Also really liked how in depth they went into his story, I did not expect it to be the whole episode but I loved every second of it. |

| I’m not sure if anyone has pointed it out yet, but a kanji that can be used for the name Dobu (溝) literally means “ditch” in English. Not that it really confirms anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Dobu turns out to be ditch-11. |
umireki said: woah congrats! haha i got the two star snow leopard, cool that they added this to the official site Thanks but you deserve the congratz more :D I did get a dumb 1 star bird on my first try lol  yeah... my 2nd roll was better than that bird though:  :3 TheMeepiestMorp said: I’m not sure if anyone has pointed it out yet, but a kanji that can be used for the name Dobu (溝) literally means “ditch” in English. Not that it really confirms anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Dobu turns out to be ditch-11. Makes sense as Shirakawa had the eraser, but was too young back then to be the scammer. It fits Dobu well and he likely gave her the eraser. I just wondered why he would be on top of that game. He really doesnt scream like a rich gangster or hacker. Still Tanaka finding his weapon and taking it, is kinda ironic and a revenge for the money scam Dobu did back then. |
| it's scary how good this show about animals has some crazy writing to bring a character introduced with a backstory to this level of detail wrapping all of it's social and psychology issues around GACHA and it's addiction on some people to drive home what i assumed is the biggest threat to the show now. wasn't sold on it at first but once it started connecting it all clicked... i really can only think of one other show in a season of a lot of good shows topping this if it continues like this. |

| Damn that was a really good episode. Gacha truly changes a man. Although tbf that last bit with the dodo would never happen in a real gacha. All the pulls are tied to your account on the server the second you spend the currency. He'd still have the dodo whether his phone died or not. Also samn, poor Tanaka. His family is extra shitty. His dad and his brother are real pieces of shit. |

| This wasn't too bad of an episode. Tanaka rolling in his game, reminded me of me rolling for a character in Genshin. However, I do not suffer from the same terrible luck Tanak does. I don't really understood what happened with his Dodo, was it because he didn't save his game? |
 |
| And that's why you don't turn into a whale. be4 said: Eh, he had more than a bit of a hand in doing it himself.Damn, what an unlucky and depressing life this dude had! |
 |
| Fantastic episode. One of the best I've seen. |
 |
| I loved this episode. I didn't know he was going to go that crazy but I did kinda predict that he might want to kill Odokawa as a joke and I didn't know how right I was lol. Also, Tanaka is now my favorite character along side the Daimon brothers Also I think that Shirakawa was the one who scammed Tanaka perhaps to pay her student debts? |
  |
| I am STUNNED! It was an amazingly well-done episode that finished in a flash. Phenomenal story-telling! |

Well sure, but some do take risks and win cause the have a little bit of luck, but in this case he was just the unluckiest one out there. He should've taken the dodos as bad omen xD |
| I finally caught up on Odd Taxi and man seeing Tanaka descend into Gatcha Hell was painful to watch and personal experience I can feel his pain. I wonder how that nurse got her hands on that rare eraser though? |
 |
| Wow, Tanaka had a real depressing life what anime does to a mf |
| What an episode. The monologue was incredible. I wasn’t expecting the Dodo guy from last episode to actually have any significant role in this, guess Odokawa is in danger now. I mean, he already was with those Yakuza guy, but damn dodo guy is mad |
| pretty cool edit dude |
| check out odd taxi |
| I can't believe I almost skipped out on this show, this is INSANELY good. |
| I knew the random gacha game from the music video of the OP would come in play at some point !!! At 2:24 you can see the exact same screen with the Dodo as the phone breaks. I wonder what kind of other little things like this there are in the video... |
 |
| Tanaka is truly a interesting character. Just imagine if the dude played Genshin Impact lol |
i fucking hate manga (keeps reading manga discord | o_ganji |
| This episode is just so amazing.It really surprised me that a character which I thought was inconsequential is unexpectly extended to such a backstory and is connected to the main story by such an ingenious.It's just like a frustrated man telling his real story to you.Can't wait for the next plot. |
 [/url] |
| Tanaka had a really tough life. After watching this you can see that the old generation parents has a point when they're really strict with their children on using phones and computers. Also his parents seemed to be discriminating between the older and the younger son. They were super spoiling the older one while not caring much about the younger one. Just that must have had a psychologically negative effect on Tanaka. Tanaka is an introvert but he still wished to join in with those classmates and it looked like he wanted to be friends with them. This shitty past caused his over obsession for games. These online auctions aren't trustworthy. You can't tell when the seller themselves are bidding on their own (nonexistent) product using a fake account to get more money. |
| This episode was so real. Kind of felt bad for that guy, especially with his bird. A bad day became even worse. No wonder he eventually snapped. Gacha hell is a real thing, but no way would his pull not be saved after recovering his phone. In any case, it did a good job of setting things into motion. I was wondering if this was simply going to be a one-off episode at first, but then it all came together. Such a great anime. |
| Fantastic episode |
| At first, I was a bit confused as I thought that the show kinda veered off course with introducing this new character and having the whole focus of the ep being on him. However, as it went on, I slowly started to appreciate the character building and then the eventual revelation of how he plays a part in the larger story was good. 4/5 |
| But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize When he catches his reflection on accident |
| This episode really hits hard. Imagine investing your time and money for four years in gacha, and when you finally got it, then it goes poof. Tanaka is just unlucky, but I think its more on being irresponsible. After losing his dodo, then his pet bird died, and then dug some gun. Him digging the gun is like telling him to end his life already. This anime is really good. Good thing I gave it a chance. |
