I was half cringing the entire time.

Sakuragi is probably gonna get a nasty infection from that beating o_0

I did like how some of them were there unfairly while others actually did do a lot of crimes. I'm sure that'll come into play later.

yeah I was thinking about that too, plus maybe we'll learn about 50's japan since I only know 50s america.

oh yeah man. on a side note, that is a lot of guys to be staying all in one room.

50's Japan would be a very different place than 50's American, considering they came off the losing side in ww2

that cell barely looks big enough for one tbh

First episode thoughts:

I thought this was a pretty interesting first episode. I do admit that this episode made me highly uncomfortable with its content. (I really hate torture/beatings scenes. They make my stomach turn), but it does give a good realism aspect to what prison life is actually like. But, at the same time, I really dislike the explicit scenes---especially because this show does have sexual content (according anime planet and spoilers I've read on a couple characters). I think it will be a good story and it does seem to have a cast of interesting characters. I really want to know more about them, and I hope there is episodes centered on their backstories.

Ugh, I HATE the doctor(he sickens me.) and the guard guy. The guard needs some chapstick, seriously. Also, what's with that little bitch throwing her doll out the window? Bruh, what if your grandma made that doll for you? or your mom paid a lot of money for that doll?

I'll watch the second ep tomorrow. I've honestly never felt so disturbed by anime before. Well, I do love prison shows/movies, but I hate when they get too deep into it. Mostly because I can't personally stomach the abuse they go through. And it really saddens me a lot, I feel really bad.

I feel the same swift, I don't think I've ever watched something so overly intense in an anime before. Most of the shows I normally watch have a light edge so this one was like a slap in the face.

I think the doctor is a pedophile :<

I'll get to the second episode by sometime tomorrow, I don't think I'll be able to handle more than one a day.

yeah man, it was brutal. if there is a rape scene(which is the vibe I'm getting from your post swift?) I'm gonna drop it. I just can't take that stuff :V I almost stopped watching 12 years a slave cause of it
I find it hard to stomach too


yeah the doc's a bit strange

Yeah, I'm probably going to watch the 2nd one tomorrow, too.

I really hope there isn't an explicit rape scene. That would make feel really uncomfortable, and it's too much if they show any of it. I'd rather have it implied than showing it. Like, AHS has had explicit rape scenes in three of their seasons (Freakshow didn't have any). And I was super uncomfortable watching it o.e

Episode two:
Nice episode. No explicit content except for a 3 second one. I felt really bad for Joe and the sexual abuse he went through the orphanage. It was also nice to see a glimpse of Turtle's past, too.

On a side note, that orphanage lady was creep x100. Ew ew ew ew.

I was so hoping he'd run away and not get caught.. D:


Oh also. I read that the author got sent to a youth prison in the 50's and this is some of his experiences.

Wow, that's really interesting. I guess it's interesting to know what happened in 50's Japanese prisons in the anime. Sounds really scary >.<

Yeah I thought with the police there she'd at least be questioned. unfortunately the person testifying against her is an escaped prisoner... :(

yeah tbh. in fact old prison life just about anywhere sounds pretty terrible.

on a side note, I'm loving the op. but that's also the type of music I like so *shrug*

episode 3:
Good episode. It was interesting to know a little bit of Undercovered/glasses guy's past. Felt pretty bad for his mom and he must have been scarred for life after witnessing that. Also, him starting the fire by accident makes things more interesting. It seems like the guard really has it out for Sakuragi. Hopefully Sakuragi gets to the guys soon >.<

Yeah, I didn't like him, either. But I ended up liking him by ep 4.

ikr? I think it's because Sakuragi doesn't give in to Ishigara and his sadistic ways.

Ep 4:
Nice ep. It was great that Undercovered helped his friends and Sakuragi punched the guard's lights out.

Ep 5:
Good ep. I felt really bad for Mario and Sakuragi! Ow, mario's hand DX and that scummy guard is trying to get Sakuragi killed every chance he gets. And we see the doctor's true intentions on convincing prisoners to have sex with him, ugh he's so disgusting!

It seems like sexual acts will be a major factor in this show, I'm just glad we didn't see any more than we absolutely had to to get the point. Poor Joe and Meg, every adult in this show is just so scummy.

We get to learn a bit about Sakuragi's prison life and his friend. I felt so bad for Hagino :( He just wanted to see his mother, and he was being used by Dr. Sasaki for his sexual pleasures. Ugh, someone needs to kill Ishigara and Sasaki. They're worst than scum. And it seems that Dr. Sasaki has his eyes on Joe D:

episode 7:
Noooo, that nice guard was the MVP ;-; fuckin' Ishigara and the piece of shit doctor. I feel so bad for Sakuragi D: I hope the squad saves him soon!

Slowly making my way through the series. Boy were these hard to get through.

Ishigara is such a scum bag of everything that's wrong with humanity. I hate him and the doctor so much.

I'm super worried about Mario's hand D: Plus what will happen to the rest of the boys when they catch them taking food to Sakuragi.

Not gonna lie, I was really scared that Joe was gonna have to go through with the stuff with Sasaki. Luckily that was never the plan in the first place.

Next few episodes should be interesting since they'll have to get far enough away that the police can't catch them. Hope everyone else is ok.

Holy hell was that an intense cliffhanger! I feel like Ishigara is going die from drug poisoning, hopefully.

Man, this isn't gonna end well...

Ikr! I think it has to do with so many popular shows coming out in 2010 and others probably didn't want to bother with a prison show, or the first episode turned people away. But this show needs more fans.

oh btw I deleted my old tumblr few months ago and my new one is calm-shy-social.
