| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I guess no one is safe in this anime? We got a death already and now Seizaki is even more conflicted in this case. However, I'm glad that he does have a logic mind and taking this case with a logic mind. Every witness is important and honestly, I believe he has the right mind for a prosecutor. |

| This has a bit of a weird feeling to it - the way this show is set up. I like the visuals and music most of the time. Eerie feelling music sometimes. Then again that justice talk was a bit annoying - only to get the one char with that killed fast. Main thinking of him at the beginning of episode 2 ... okay. Then we were finished with that one. But that woman they interrogated ... was pretty annoying. The overall plot hinted at seems like it could be very interesting. I like police stuff and especially if it is with big companies. (I guess they use some of their medical drugs to make people suicide.) The way the plot is told ... not really to my taste. I hope we won't get just eerie music + weird suicides with some big reveal in the last 2-3 episodes. Steady progress would be better. At least the male main is good. Better than in that other police show Keishichi Tokumubu. |
| All right, I'm on board now. The atmosphere captured me this time. Especially the interrogation was very intense. I liked how Emiko was playing with Zen and how elaborated it was. They also end these episodes with crazy cliffhanger xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Amazing direction on the interrogation. Very much into this right now. EDIT: I was also taken back by her leaving the building and him running after her, gave me big The Usual Suspects vibes. |

| wow! this is really becoming intriguing as well as interesting. That whore is very manipulative! 5/5. |
 |
| ...is this woman okay? Bizarre character. Clashes with the serious tone of this anime. |
| my big question is why did the dude let the woman go? what kind of bullshit explanation is "he's not feeling good"? |
| >I had no brain when I was 12 >Then everyone must had no brain when they were 12 >I experimented 100 samples and proved that they had no brain when they were 12 >Therefore children cannot consent This is what science has done to humanity. |
| Yeah I'm enjoying this so far. There's so many new tidbits being revealed every second. That woman was a mindfuck lol. She ended up interrogating Seizaki lol. |
| One case of sidekick Fumio that isn't suicide but murder, isn't enough for the MC Seizaki. One after another, the cases become more convoluted to form one big picture. Especially that interrogation, it was profoundly intriguing that the woman in question was creepypasta at best, with Seizaki questioning Emiyo that went awry. Logic vs. manipulation. The direction of that was totally well done, managed to seep my interest in the case. FMmatron said: They also end these episodes with crazy cliffhanger xD Yeap, that's insanely crazy and unexpected. Well done episode? More like tremendously great. |

| ahhh i cant stand the voice of the woman being questioned. i had to go subs only at some point. i just cant do it! |
| Hell yeah, I'm on board now. The first episode felt pretty mediocre to me (except for maybe the last minute) but this episode was great. I loved the directing and editing, especially in the interrogation scene. But the presentation overall really picked up with this. I hope this carries over into future episodes, if so, this has the potential to become a really really great series. |
| This questioning was very captivating. I really don't trust this girl, she's so weird. Good episode |
 |
| Wait?! Did the Director know that Nomura was going to be in the meeting?! That woman is creepy as fuck and she seems so twisted... Man, im already so intrigued by this anime! The way they use the camera angles, visuals and music to create tension is so awesome! |
 |
| I can already tell they there will be some shit forcing people to commit suicide like in The Happening or Bird Box movies. Anime only, btw. |
 |
| That woman sure was very crafty. I wonder if the head department has been corrupted too. Interesting episode again. |
TheLimo said: Damn Jabami Yumeko is still creepy as an adult, at least I think it's the same voice actress? In the credits it's listed as "???" so... It's not the same VA. Their voices are actually very different. The VA is revealed in the next episode's credits, and it's Yukino, Satsuki. |
| That questioning between Seizaki, and that woman was intense. She was kind of scary to be honest, and I can't help but feel that she was in control of the situation from the start. And she got away after asking about his family without signing her testimony, right? I feel like he was hasty with his approach, and it backfired. I wouldn't want to be in that situation for sure, I wonder if his superior knew that that politician would be there to hear the report too. |
 |
| That woman is so unsettling...but I was intrigued the way she was twisting things around, and using logic against Seizaki. This series is starting to remind me a bit of Subete ga F ni Naru. Overall, quite serious, and both have intelligent female character/one who sees the world differently. |
| This woman the real villain/the one in the cover? Her movements are weird.. This whole episode is weird |
| Awesome episode. The whole structure with the interregotation spread out in segments was really interesting. Detaining her was a misstake everybody should have seen coming, a rash course of action. Obviously, there is more to her, I mean she managed to take control of everybody around her so easily. I am still doubtful about the chief of the prosecution office. Yes, it could be the corrupt-cop-cliché but the way he behaves he should be a good guy. Budging just enough to not get destroyed by the system yet still fighting the fight for justice. Zen just did not get any of the hints that he was stiring things up in an unfavourable way... |
 |
| the plot thickens. that woman was so manipulative. hopefully Seizaki's family won't get hurt. the end of the episode felt a bit like a betrayal since the mayor candidate was there. i could be wrong but i felt like that he wasn't supposed to be there judging by Seizaki's surprise when he saw him. looking forward to the next episode! |

This series is starting to remind me a bit of Subete ga F ni Naru. Overall, quite serious, and both have intelligent female character/one who sees the world differently. There is a good point in her twisting his logic. When he said that people with differentiating values should coexist he trapped himself - a person who loves and cherishes children and a person who enjoys seeing children suffering would never coexist in a functional society. Seizaki is a normal man who does not think too deep inside his own ideals, since he has them right and does his share to preserve the peace in his own society. But when deconstructed his ideals meet friction against his own simplified logic - that respecting others ideas is a must in modern world. And this happens on the background of a mass murder disguised as suicide, political strife and corruption on highest levels. Can he really respect those values, even when he is sitting right there trying to fight against them? Seizaki is a well-intentioned kind of hypocrite. Well said! Very interesting analysis/expansion on what happened with Hiramatsu's conversation with Seizak, especially the part in bold. |
| The interrogation was superb. It really shows how manipulative the woman was. It's like she's the one manipulating the directing. |
| Stellar directing this episode. Big improvement of the first episode. This really caught my attention. It's definitely getting interesting. |
| So far, this my AOTS. |
 |
| Lots of shit going on and I'm totally loving it. The mysterious parts and the slight messed up stuff is really intriguing |
 |
| Sorry to post here.... But where can I watch this anime? I really really really want to watch it but cant find it anywhere xP |
| This is my forum set and I’m very proud of it. |
| Wonder if it was unprofessional from Zens side to let that woman interrogate him, especially giving off information about his family. I'm going to be disappointed if his wife and kid will be massacred because of that. |
| Dang, I liked that a lot more than the first. Music, direction (sorta like Bakemonogatari which is some of the best directing I've seen in anime), and sound are all great. I'd still like to know a bit more about the characters, but the story and suspense have made up for that so far. I love the chief too and can't wait to see how the MC deals with the meeting (hopefully he takes the chief's advice because that was pretty smart knowing now that the candidate dude is there). 5/5 |
 |
| Mesmerizing! Exhilarating! You can't stop watching & you can't stop thinking on what or may happen next. Great direction & animation. |
 |
| This anime has pleasantly surprised me so far. I wasn't expecting much from it but after the first 10 minutes of the first episode, this has kept me interested. |
| The intrigue continues, and with an incredible interrogation scene. Emiko was certainly very disconcerting, especially with her manipulation of Seizaki. How did she mange to escape? |
| Damn you Morinaga. Something told me not to trust him. THICCDADDY1234 said: Completely agree, i really really liked how they directed that interrogation scene, made it feel more engaging to me in all honesty. Yes, that was very well done. |
| Aots in the making, no less |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| The interrogation was captivating this woman is very interesting she looks like a total psychopath Good episode |
 |
| I'm not totally feeling this a moment-to-moment level, but two episodes in a row yield audible "holy shit" moments at the very end. Keep that coming! The direction was absolutely STELLAR and deserves the highest praises. |

| Wait WHAT!! That ending made my mind do back flips Who else was worried about their dick when that women was talking >.> |
| This was so well done! I love the way the girl managed to stay clam and have complete control of the conversation. It would be quite a thrill when she gets defeated later. I had my doubts about the boss, and it just increased when Donald Trump showed up at the end. Kind of wondering how awful someone needs to be to kill a character played by Ono Kensho. |

It's more like he just wasn't prepared for this type of conversation because most normal people don't encounter her BS reasoning. Because answer is very simple coexist is possible until it not harms others eg. I can coexist with fans of lolis until it will be fictional young girls. Same with guns, I "hate" them but if someone is using them responsible then I will not have problem with that. |
