THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So they began doing more investigations this episode and Takeru is becoming more aware of the strange events.

We got a little bit of focus on Mio this episode. I actually find her somewhat haughty for her personality. Felt more like a buildup episode to me as they're building on the suspense.

Is it possible the person in AH Tokyo General Hospital is...


Interesting episode. I like how modern this series is, utilising the internet well, such as the 'article-stealers' (I think that article-stealer might show up some time soon) and Niconiya being an obvious parody of Niconico.

Wait, so all of Taku's family were in comas? Wait what? That fact was dropped like it was nothing...

They mentioned last episode that their parents were killed in the Third Melt earthquake, so I assume all four of the kids were put in comas during the earthquake before Sakuma adopted them. I could be wrong but that would make the most sense.

That was a really good episode.

Seals? Barriers and AH Hospital. Very interesting, very possible to for the person to be as @ButadonMeitante says.

I like the scientist girl, I'm really interesting in hearing what Arimura has to say about the stickers. Sadly enough they cut it out before she could say anything.

That ending though, Did not expect that at all. :O Why would Nono choose to go there when it's so dark out? She could've waited till early morning or something. I hope she doesn't die from this. :(

She got a text message while the family was having dinner. That's probably why she was spaced out the whole time.

So they translated seals as stickers.

Takuru still hasn't said 情弱. They had the perfect chance this time, too. At least they showed Cool Cat Press.
Also, I didn't know the girl from the restaurant had her skirt open from behind.
No Gen-san?

I had a feeling that this was eventually going to happen but not this early...I like her a lot too so I hope that she isn't dead

Also, did anyone else feel like the person in the hospital who makes the stickers is Shogun lol? I sure did but most likely it's not gonna be him I guess

Either way, this episode was pretty good and I'm really liking the character interactions....Man this is so much better than CH

Wow, I totally missed this, but when they mentioned the coma thing I immediately suspected that, the earthquake was probably why that happened to all of them

Damn.. That was great. They've stepped up their game in the setting.
Those Sumo Stickers/Seals will make an awesome LINE sticker...

And the ending was probably the most realistic scene of that kind in anime yet..

Loving it so far, Takuru is likeable.

"So how did you two meet?"

"It all started when I retweeted a meme he liked."

2017 in a nutshell lol.

I'm pretty sure the person they're referring to who's in the hospital is probably Takumi. Wow, I certainly wasn't expecting that ending.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

There were some interesting clues and hints in this episode, but I didn't enjoy the general character interactions outside of that. I'm betting the person in the hospital is Takumi, but until we find out the truth about that I'm much more interested in why Nono was stabbed at the end there.

It's quite possible that it is who you think, this series does relate to C;H after all. It'd be pretty cool if you ended up guessing right.

Yeah that fact was dropped so nonchalantly that either we misinterpreted it, or the series went out of its way to draw attention away. I feel that may be an important piece of information later on

Holy crap that ending, Nono went to remove the club's camera and then someone stabbed her!? Argh another week of waiting

So Takuru was been in coma, and it seems like there are also other people in coma, there's the possibility of Takuru might be on the hospital. I think the stickers are kinda the eyes of the perpetrator of the killings so he can see the events, and he seems to be copying the events since it happened at the same dates of the C;H events.

Well, everyone obviously wants to talk about the ending there... I'm no exception...

It was unexpected, but as soon as I saw Nono in the camera's view, I was already screaming inside: "omgomgomgomg, she's gonna die, holy shit, she's gonna... oh, there it is, she get's stabbed from behind... wow... it actually happened" something like that

Am I the only one that's slightly bothered by the way the anime showed how Takeru eavesdropped on Arimura and the detective? I don't understand how Arimura could NOT have spotted them, especially since they made auch a big deal out of avoiding students from her school. And if they wanted to discuss something that confidential, why did they speak loud enough for Takeru to hear them from the opposite side of the freaking cafe, unless you're telling me Takeru has exceptional ears... maybe I'm nitpicking... still, it seriously bothered me.
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

Well, in the opening there's a quick flash of someone sitting in front of 3 computer monitors who proceeds to grab their hair as if they're panicking. So Nishijou Takumi coming back is definitely withing a range of possibilities.

The fuck... No, why... I actually felt a pain in my chest when that happened, ugh.

@ButadonMeitante @gust11
That's the first thing i thought of when they mentioned the hospital too.

The first series was set in the time of flip-phones and when the internet was still a niche tool, so as time progresses, we have arise of mainstream internet usage, and especially lately with the fact of bullshit news being more widespread than real news.

Seriously though, why is everyone wandering around at night like everything's fine, ESPECIALLY when chasing a dangerous case. Typical thriller series character stupidity.

Mass coma, they didn't explain this in recap.

Most of the dialogue just served as exposition and to further the story, which is fine, but it leaves little room for character development. Which makes for bland characters that I don't care what happens to them. So I'd rather have more character interactions early on, then get into the plot slowly.
