That Honoka girl is a strange character, I find her relationship with Yoshiharu this episode to be somewhat awkward. And not to mention, the awkward timing lol



Couldn't take the second half of the episode seriously even with the chainsaw gimmick and mission lol. Emotional drama took a weird level..

It's more like self-serve Ryokan or hostel, not having a full service from the okami so they have to do the cooking or clean up. The girl is really obvious that "Yuta-kun" guy also knows, too. He is very picky about the food (because he has cured from obesity), though. Megane girl seems to denying some request from the phone call, and she still sees "nightmare" of the girl she killed? She cooked omurice for him. Childhood girl felt jealous when seeing main guy and mysterious girl together.

The counselor and the teacher is also part of Kizuna no kai. They set a mission to find the childhood girl while having obstacles, which includes another Kiznaiver group, that the association planned. The fake fushigi girl's jealousy for putting up of childhood girl hit one of the members of another kiznaiver group and affected another guy who was going to attack childhood girl is lol~ It seems like the feeling can be shared, too. Debt returned finally?

lol @ the preview narration (after knowing that the womanizer guy is actually inexperienced)

The story is getting weaker and weaker. The action was obnoxious and now Kiznaivers are connecting through heartache... oh boy, we can be funny AND melodramatic!
But I'm in this for the characters, they're a lot of fun. The show is really well-made, too.
I'd give this episode about a 3/5.

This was a very OTP heavy episode and I loved it

The scene with Honoka and Obesity-kun was kinda hot yet really creepy at the same time because seeing her mindset during that moment was something else

And I know that the popular opinion is for Tenga and Chidori to end up together, however ever since the first episode, part of me still wants her to end up with Katsuhira and this episode did a brilliant job showcasing why I'm rooting for this ship

The "attack" parts were pretty weird but I am very glad that it led up to that powerful scene by Chidori....I wonder what this phase 2 thing is going to be though, but either way I'm a little nervous because the counselor is a bit too crazy lol

Also, I wouldn't have guessed that both Not Esdeath and Niko had some nice oppai lol

Weird but cool episode. So the real question is: is Honoka a girl or not?
What if Honoka is a guy and is gay, Yoshiharu falls in love with Honoka and then Honoka reveals that she isn't a girl damn. No wait... this ain't a romance anime.

Poor best girl Chidori most likely still has no chance, plus the smallest tits to add insult to injury. :( I guess that ending was sweet though, and I always enjoy Jason references. Now just give us Maki's big, beautiful tits! XD

Damn, love this guy! <3

Kacchon x Chidori moments are so cute!

Right now... I don't mind with who Chidori will end up,
she is so precious as long she will be happy, I'm ok with this :D

Well Honoka sure went in there. And the reaction to Yuta being a cherry was lol

Yamada being a part of all this is nice. I wanted to see more of him

I really can't decide my thoughts on Chidori. Sometimes I really think she's cute and adorable but others I feel she's really annoying. The times I think she's cute are more tho...

Nico was fun as usual too

Honoka's actions seemed strange (especially while she was with Yuta) and a bit more was revealed on her distress over the girl from her past. Chidori's encounter with one of the two guys from before pushes for Katsuhira and the others to come too. Although I can't really find an interest in these characters so far, things are gradually escalating.

I think, that this series is awesome. It was obvious from the beginning that I won't be super serious and deep story series, and it's good that they are trying to show deeper interactions between characters instead of making pathetic comedy.
It's good balanced.
I love the animation, characrers and general feeling. 5/5 I'm looking forward for next episodes.

WHY?? last episode was so cool, why it had to ruin everything completely with this one?? character interactions were great last episode but know... weird does not cover it. WTF was that scene with yuta and honoka? it changed their relationship from north to south in a second i hate that scene. And tenga and chidori just bother me this episode, no advance is made with them and i liked them so much before. Sonozaki has distanced herself from the group once again and more weird ass dialogue like: "it was a mosquito" "it sucked a lot blood" "it was its las dinner". Really?

Don't really know what to say about this ep.
Wierd would be the right word, being the second half a crazy ride and the drama commencing.
Honoka is damn crazy and strange, one would really not like to know what's going on in her head. Lol at the teacher being a member too btw.

Some crying for their ship sinking, others celebrate their ship sailing and I am still confused by how over the top this episode was.

At least trigger delivers another exciting exchange of words between Katsuhira and Sonozaki.

I'm pretty much sure that Yuta's getting closer to Maki at that "busted"moment in front of the refrigerator. But earlier, Nico... staring at Yuta. I wonder what she's thinking about him at the moment.

This felt like set-up more than anything else. I REALLY didn't like the scene where Chidori cried over how she was heart broken or some shit. At this point, you can really tell that this and Mayoiga share the same writer. (Mari Okada, at least) I still liked the episode (in terms of character interactions and the humor), but that scene REALLY bothered me.

At this point, I would just lower my score for this, but I'll wait until next week to see if that score drop will be worth it or not.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Even one or two episodes back, I was thinking that there's no clear indication of what the actual plot is, and normally I'd expect the plot to become clear by the third or fourth episode at the very least. We know that they are all connected by pain ( and now emotions ), but why that is necessary and -how- that would help with... anything... is still a complete mystery. And not a mystery in the good sense.

Damn,that teacher ruined the fun.. I wanted some kinky stuff between my best girl and Yuta(virgin confirmed).
This starts to look like a love polygon since everyone likes someone that likes someone else and so on.
Ehh I'm in the minority but I actually like this show, maybe because of the characters. But I like its randomness and stupid stuff.

Is Nico in love with Tenga? I feel like she gets a bit jealous when she sees him bragging about Chidori.
Also wow Honoka. You break my heart. Who hurt you? What happened to you? ;^; I want to know more. Maybe she will become my favourite character of the anime.
Maybe Yuta and her will get together and he will help her to get to love herself more... Also she could help him too... He is still obsessed with his weight and that hurts me.
Hhhhha dang these characters give me too much feels. ;^;

Played off some horror movie tropes here- the cabin in the woods, sex crazed teens, chainsaw/axe murderer- even the HEEERE'S JOHNNY @15:36
Did give way to some characterization though, but this pace needs to get off it's butt if they're going to do anything at all in 12 episodes..

If you gonna tell a girl she's heavy... you better explain it, and explain it good.

Personality, emotionality, behaviors... So many levels to this. Simple dialogue- many interpretations. Me gusta

How to fix the review section, detailed here

The average reader (HS level) reads at about 200 WPM. So a 500-800 word review should take 3-5 minutes to read. That's an acceptable length for something you're interested in spending 25 minutes to 4.5 hours of your life watching.

Oh, and ANN requires any and all reviews to be 800-1200 words, no matter the length of the show.

Well, that was boring and overly cliche. Seriously, what is the point of this series? It's ambling around aimlessly even more than Mayoiga is, and it's probably as badly written as that as well, if not worse.

This episode sure escalated quickly, Went from a nice slice of life kind of episode to just crazy xD.

The Yuta and Maki moment was quite intense. The teacher interrupting it was pretty funny.

I really don't know who to ship Chidori with.

Nice moment at the end between Chidori and Katsuhira :)
Masochist-kun didn't get much spotlight this episode though

As many others have pointed out the story is pretty lacking cause of the episodic content, However, the episodes are still quite fun to watch.

So they managed to connect not just physically, but mentally and physiologically then? And this is the key to triggering a "second stage"? I suppose this "second stage" will lead to a "third stage" or something? And these experiments will either lead to a discovery that will help advance humanity or to save the world, the usual fare of course.

Thus far, nothings really been revealed apart from the Organisation and the fact that this has been in place for many years now. Wonder if it'll turn all Muv-Luv or something with aliens and keeping humanity alive somehow....

So they are sharing emotional pain as well. The Kiznaivers are growing. Maybe Katsuhira will be able to find his pain again.

I really feel for Chidori. It's hard when the guy you like is an emotionless machine who can't understand you. Katsuhira hopefully will understand the bonds he shares better

Honestly, where is the story going? Is this anime even supposed to have a story in the first place?

Hopefully after this episode Chidori stops stirring up cheap drama out of petty shit, since it's really getting on my nerves. Hopefully the story picks up too, because it's pretty uninteresting right now imo.

danieltortoisee said:

Well they do both have the same writer, so maybe that's a reason why both seem to be "ambling around aimlessly."

Sad to see that Chidori is the least developed in certain "assets" of the girls, but good to see that she is still the best girl around. She is so direct and honest, you can really feel her concern, hopefully it delivers by the end.

I wonder what the hell are they truly trying to achieve with these experiments. Anyway I kinda liked how the braved against the "zombies" when they realized that they were weaponless and Niko is stronger than she looks LOL!!

There is that rape or would-be rape moment too. But anyway, Chidori wins the crown and hopefully wins Katsuhira too by the end, she deserves it.

From what we've seen so far, I honestly disagree. She, supposedly, should know Katsuhira the best since everyone else is effectively strangers from the start and she's known him for a long time. Yet she hasn't taken any steps, before the events we're shown, to actually understand him. Example: Her telling him to be more interested in himself is akin to telling someone with depression to just lighten up.

She can't blame him for "not noticing", or not making a move, when a) he's obviously emotionally stunted, and she should know that better than anyone. And b) even if you're not emotionally stunted, noticing someone's affection when they deliberately hide or downplay it isn't exactly a given.

The little love triangle between her, Katsuhiro and Sonozaki (that frankly currently only exists in her and the audience's heads) is really contrived and I don't particularly care for it. I can see a result where she grows closer to Tenga in the end, leaving Katsuhiro with Sonozaki (or alone, I don't think he would mind any which way currently).

Tenga and Nico are the most enjoyable characters currently, because they're the most animated ones.

My theory is Shihoru from grimgar was used in a virtual reality experiment and Maki blamed herself for not getting her out of the experiment.
Grimgar season 2 please!!!!
