THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode started out calmly but it soon became quite the action with Saruhiko Fushimi. Yata really got into it nicely.

While I did find Fushimi making KO Asama Sakura in the spoiler
but more specifically in the following,

was a bit rough. Too much IMO for that aftermath in the spoiler
shows further shoving out of Asama Sakura whom I don’t like the tone of violence there despite being rather light. That being said my thoughts follow.

About the beginning, the start was a little mundane with Kuroh in the spoiler
while Neko got the comedy going with the food and girls got busy with the clothing sewing.

Isana on the other hand ponders over the last incident in the spoiler
whom shocked many as this is a body being kept there.

About Seri’s first appearance, she was quite well shown in the spoiler
whom really her chest stuck out the most. I did like her attitude there as well as the expressions going along with it. It showed Seri being rather the cold murderous type based on her stare. While Fushimi has plans to execute from the looks of the situation.

About back at school, what I really liked of the school setting part in the spoiler
was mainly the visuals being back into action. Essentially immersing the viewer back to what K is best at. While Yata and his friend storm the school to look around. Neko kept things positive along with Isana’s smile for this part despite the looming terrible gloom from last episode’s discovery on part of Isana.

About Seri being in school, she continues to have the nice chest in the spoiler
but it was more her finger working on the table that showed her seriousness in the general talk that ensued in this part.

Another interesting thing was how Fushimi reacted towards his friends in the spoiler
looking like he is calming one down or just plain planning out something nastier, which in fact turns out true for Asama Sakura.

About back at investigation, Yata and his friend were pretty cool in the spoiler
intimidating loads of students with their looks and skateboard on the part of Yata. Most students though they were weird or plain cool. Regardless we learn of Yata’s rather shy complex towards girls.

I still WTF at Fushimi in the spoiler
he should have noticed them and acted upon them. Yet he let them slide in order to carry out his ideas. Not cool but understandable.

About the pre-fight, Fushimi in the spoiler
was the shit! THOSE FACES! OH DEAR! So Accelerator worthy! Truly evil minded maniacal faces there of Fushimi.

While on the other hand Yata in the spoiler
was not only hilarious due to how he proceeds to hit his friend but also his blushing side got some MOE for the girls. Rather nice stuff there. On top of that the girls got me giggles with their paranoiac reactions.

About Fushimi VS Yata/Rikio, easily the BEST OF BESTS part of the whole episode. Before the fight even starts, Fushimi in the spoiler
had the most amazing faces once again. If before was not enough, certainly more of them at this part complimented its lack.

The fight started out nice in the spoiler
multi hits and sword action while Fushimi unsheathing it was pretty to see. Yata had some pretty nice fire action and legs moves. While Fushimi had great SFX of his attacks with blue goodness. Hit deflection was good and exchange. Yata’s glass knocking off from Fushimi rather made him more insane. Yata was lucky twice to dodge Fushimi’s sword from slicing him badly and even fatally. As things went the following,

Happens. KICK ASS MAN! Fushimi can use both powers and got badly Yata in the spoiler
as in planting a blade in his body. Not fatally but painfully. Fushimi knocked out easily Rikio with no problems and moreover had for 3rd time those facials of rather maniacal danger levels that Sybil from Psycho Pass would deem a danger itself.

About Seri’s intervention, Yata was lucky the beautiful Seri invested herself in the spoiler
to stop the fight before more shit comes. Indeed her chest still sticks out wonderfully. She made quite the entry may I add and convinced verbally Yata rather effectively.

About the aftermath, Yata still does not give up in the spoiler
and in fact pursues his research while results are being found out that someone may have impersonated Isana. Could this boy be that person?

About thee end/preview of the next episode, while much elements are being shown, I decided to do a list of them.
  • Looks like they are showing Tatara in the spoiler
    recovering and looking well. Could be flashback partially and his securing to a hospital to be saved or could be just flashbacks of some times when he was around with his gang.

  • Seeing more Anna in the spoiler
    sounds good and not much at all happened in this episode with her so this is good for her fans.

  • Can’t wait to see her in the spoiler
    she looks elegant, mature and nicely designed.

  • Looks like Kuroh is back to being serious and Kukuri is having fun with her friend in the spoiler
    whom I wonder why exactly and what’s up there.

  • Neko going crazy in the spoiler
    will be fun to see of what it’s about exactly.

  • I had no idea Tatara played the guitar in the spoiler
    but it looks like he can. Wonder what song he is playing there and its meaning.

  • From the looks of seeing new members in the spoiler
    along with the Red King himself, suggest either he is free or it’s the past itself. The title suggests it might as it mentions karma.
So all in all remains to see if the next episode pans out to explain more of the past or to propel the series into the new plot that happens of this episode. Remains to see.

BTW Image Stitch done in the spoiler
of Kukuri. Rather nice.

Shiro's forgettable, huh... (it was the truth about him losing cellphone).

Search ep. So that hood taken out for "cool fat" is when he was chasing FukuJun's character during the search. A chance for Mamo's character and FukuJun's character meeting each other? It seems like they have argue over Anna? And the fact that FukuJun's character doesn't like to be called "Misaki" (girly name). Mamo's character showing that he can use both powers of blue and red. lol @ the nickname for Sawashiro-san's character that only Sakurai-san's character calls her. She's good at persuading people.

In the end, they didn't find about him.

Next ep. showing KajiKaji's character more?? YAY! We might get to know more (at least little more) about him.

I think we are confusing Saruhiko Fushimi with Reishi Munakata. Saruhiko Fushimi fought with Misaki Yata in this episode.

Looks like Yashiro Isana is non-existent in Ashinaka High when he's not around. The Plot thickens of who he is.

so is tatara DEAD or not?
Unless one of the kings made him into a illusion or can revive then I fear his death is permanent.

Also did anyone notice in the spoiler
looks like a first for proper fan service other than running around naked.

Dare I say Kukuri has a fine ass and color taste in panties. Shows one easy aspect of her...being very girlish and not tomboy like some girls are.

I am sure he is a king or someone that received powers from the colorless king. If he saw him kind of like in a vision it must mean something. Well he must have powers or is a King himself. Is what I conclude.

This episode was rather good and substantial compared to the previous four episodes. Finally, The Plot's starting to pick up. Highlights were the fight between Yata and Fushimi who looks like an annoying character like Sugo from SAO i think and Seri Awashima taking up so much screen time. Loved it.

I really need to understand it's whole plot. It's so confusing. Btw, better than it's previous episode so i'll give it a 3.7/5 As usual, Nice Visuals.

Or, she just thinks that he's someone who looks like Shiro and that he wouldn't do something like that, because if that's the case, she wouldn't not know about Shiro and guide Kuro to Shiro in previous eps.

I did too. It was pretty random after watching Misaki and Saruhiko duel it out on the school grounds. I won't complain though as Kukuri has some mighty nice thighs as well.

I think that picture appears in a flashback (these wounds must be another fight, "Shiro" just shot him). I think Tatara's dead.


PD: Seri Awashima looks beautiful with her ​​hair loose.

I now that I think about it, could be just that they wanted to make it clear Kukuri is pure and a virgin as usually they have it tight. I have realized and reminded myself that our Otaku brothers/sisters like their characters more pure/innocent than soiled.

This tightness of Kukuri must be therefore to show she is a pure virgin. Other than that and appeal I see nothing else of it as a reason.

I checked the Japanese forums, fans in Japan do not think much of that fan service. They think the sakuga of the ass line does not look enticing. So goes the attempt to pull in fan-service loving otakus to this anime....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Ok episode i guess, the fight was good tho that said the traitor is annoying or rather the blues in general are, idk tho even though they make little implications here and there and usually that is hints at plot development it still feels mad disappointing...Only really good thing about this series is the animation which feels wasted on this kind of "plot".

Development, YES.

Looks like I've found my favourite character. FUSHIMI DFKJSKLDFJSKDJFSKDF I CAN'T SDFKJSLKDJFSKDLFJKSDJFSKDF I feel like I always fall in love with the most... crazy(?) characters in an anime (Daryl, from GC too). KDSFSKDFSK :'D SO sSDFJSK

Theory:
~ When Shiro-kun isn't around, then people forget about him, or rather, never knew he existed in the first place. It kind of confirms Kukuri's odd feeling (I guess?) in episode one when she said something along the lines of "He could disappear at any moment."

Also, I bet Shiro-kun doesn't even have a PDA. If he did, his profile would have been registered in the school's database, but it didn't; which means that he hasn't been using his PDA at all, from the start itself.

I really liked this episode. That whole battle between Fushimi (<3 =//=) and Misaki was epic. Misaki hates being called by his first name, huh. I wonder why. Seri is pretty cool too.

We get to see Totsuka in the next episode :D And see how he and Anna are connected, I guess? Judging from the OP, they must have had a closer bond than the rest of HOMRA.

but the main problem with it is that it focuses on the 3 least interesting characters,...

Great episode. Of course any episode with Yata in it is good.

Fushimi is a real creep. The way he moves, talks, and says "Mi.sa.ki." just creeps me out. He also left Homura just so he can have two powers. I just have this feeling that something is going to happen to him by the end of this series.

I still don't care much about the thre main trio (Shiro, Kuroh, and Neko). Like I said in a previous post in episode 4 : Homura should be the main characters and NOT Shiro. Sure Shiro has that mysterious past and stuff, but Homura is just more interesting.

But maybe it's just because I read the manga that I feel this way.

To respond to OP, Shiro doesn't have the body in his closet, just the bloody shirt.

I think that this show is starting to improve plotwise. While I agree with others that it isn't fantastic, I can't say I agree with the guy who said it was shit. The Animation is fantastic, the music is great, and the fights are very cool/easy to follow. I think that the characters are interesting enough, but I find myself getting more curious about the rest of the Homura clan and the other kings each week. I hope they do some background next episode (that's what it looks like).

Im I the one who honestly thinks that Kukuri clearly recognized Shiro´s face but lied to protect him? XD

Also someone deleted Shiro´s info. I have a feeling it was Kukuri. Perhaps Kukuri knows something about that night and faked the photo. Just a theory though...

So many good moments. I love Shiro and Kuro looking on the bridge and off into the water, it was a lovely scene. But also the main attraction this episode, Misaki and Fushimi and so much action on their front both in actual physical action and just their personalities and such clashing. It was really a well done interaction with some really awesome skateboard tricks and flashy spark fist attacks. Coolest skateboarder in anime ever.

The funniest thing was how everyone just kept missing Shiro, or even each other initially (Misaki and Fushimi crossing paths around that statue in the circle room but missing each because their on other sides). There was some minor thing that was really interesting they did, when the lady was talking in the room and the camera went out of the window the sound made it as if we were listening in on her from outside the glass, minor but intriguing.

For plot, with Shiro not being a student and still not having a PDA (I guess he never had one) perhaps he induced upon himself some sort of amnesia.

Wait I get more and more confused after each episode- but the whole thing about Shiro is really mysterious. It's like no one even knows who he is unless he's around. But then again he was like known throughout the school on the first episode. What. I. WHAT'S HAPPENING.

I liked this episode more than all the rest after episode 1. At least this episode had some action and was funny. I hope that the rest of the episodes will be up to par with this one since I think that series so far has been a little slow.

Helpful hint: the story actually makes sense if you've consumed a few beers and some hallucinogens.
I just skimmed this episode within a minute to see if they toned down the BL and added some more substance to support the paper-thin plot. Doesn't look to have improved much.

Misaki you dog, you.

Woah, we finally get a somewhat good fight after 5 episodes? Well didn't we quickly find out that Fushimi was a psychopath?

I'm ready for things to get moving already. Seems like there's too much messing around here to make a decent 13 episode anime. Still hoping for some kind of developments to be made. Time to sit tight and hope that things get better soon.

I want to know what's up with Kukuri.
