| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, Sawashiro-san's character is so pretty when her hair is down. So... when king's power is out of control, it would became bad enough to destroy the city? So this ep. mostly talks about when KajiKaji's character joins: KajiKaji's character being hospitalized, group established with Anna joining, group became larger, and when he got killed. He always went chased around red king before he became one, and so freedom, but knows from that time that he would become king someday. He's into cooking, and SINGING!!! (KYAAA~~~!) It was FukuJun's character and Sakurai-san's character who found KajiKaji's character dead and the film. Neko hates the phone? So Shiro's friend really forgot about Shiro? Or rather, info. about him and his family is being deleted... Though Kuro led him live longer. ED!! It actually aired!! And it's the inserted song!! BY KAJIKAJI's character!! "Circle of Friends" |

| Kaji, Yuki's singing during the episode and ED was a nice touch. Seems most of this episode was just flashbacks. |
 |
How? |
MidnightPride said: How? Different colored eyes..color hair..hair length also.. Undercover disguise I guess? Maybe only the bartender knows who she is. Only logical thing I can think of. This anime is getting more and more confusing.. I want an answer who/what the heck Yashiro is already >< |

Only logical thing I can think of. This anime is getting more and more confusing.. I want an answer who/what the heck Yashiro is already >< I think the eye color and hair color are different by red light. She has long hair, but her hair is tied (so it looks shorter). |
Wahhh when Totsuka started singing I was crying. But on the roof with Yata, I started bawling like a baby. Seeing Yata like that was heartbreaking. T.T AND THEN, the new ED he sings again! And I cry again! Damn it, why do they do this to me... If Yashiro turns to actually be the murderer, I hope Mikoto gets rid of him. Easily my favorite episode yet though. Anytime it's about HOMRA and the gang it's a good episode. Now if only those 3 would disappear..... (also... whut? Seri is actually beautiful? O.o She should keep her hair down. And Neko has to be one of the most annoying things I've seen in a longggg time.) R.I.P Totsuka..  I know some people may wonder why others are so sad about his death, well for me personally, I got attached to him in the manga for being so incredibly sweet and kind. Seeing him die like that in the anime was horrible. |

| it was okay I guess... I just skipped every time Yashiro appeared ^^" Only watched the flash back... And now I really wish Yashiro would drop dead... Oh and I really liked the ending ;p it was nice |
| Huh... this episode was surprisingly okay. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| The next episode looks like we're going to get a bit of action between Kuro and the blues. |
 |
| Tbh, Seri always reminded me of Aria Link from Tegami Bachi. |
 |
| Now that you mentioned it they indeed ook similar. I wonder if I failed to make the link because of their very different personalities. |
| 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. |
| Neko reminds me too much of a bad weeb. I really cannot handle her. I still want to know what she is where she came from etc etc but jesus christ dude, I know she's a cat or whatever but did they really have to make her so obnoxious? Why. Shiro and Kuroh is making a comeback and stopped being characters that made me want to smash my brains in. The more I think about it, the more it seems like their presentation was off, it's much better seeing them away from the 'slice-of-life school setting'. We got to learn more about what's going on with Shiro, even if it really just gave us more questions, but the plot thickens. They're getting more development, and I like the idea of Shiro not actually being Shiro. I kind of want him to turn out to actually be a murderous psychopath. The main character being the antagonist? That would be cool. And any episode with HOMRA is much liked, I enjoyed getting some more background on them and everything, and learning more Tatara, it helps put things together. And they managed to make me sad about a character that I only really knew for a single episode via flashbacks, so that's pretty good. Plus I now care about Mikoto, and what's going on with him. So now we have HOMRA hunting Shiro because of Tatara's death (With giving us reasons to feel empathetic, given we now have seen what Tatara was to HOMRA) Shiro dealing with 'being framed', having doubts and people forgetting him along with a ton of people out to kill him. Not knowing wtf Neko is. Having Fushimi worm around. A connection between Seri and Izumo, the extent of it being unknown. SCEPTER4 playing good cop. And the threat of Mikoto destroying the entire city because he can't control his powers. So by now, the plot isn't so bad. It may not be original or outstanding, but it isn't bad. It has the basic set up, goals (Find out who exactly the colorless king is, prevent the city from being blown up, answer several questions, etc.), consequences (Shiro as he is - dying, the city actually blowing up, the strained relationship between HOMRA and SCEPTER4, etc), the requirements, forewarning and so on. The characters are also starting to stand out more, and become more dynamic. Overall, I'm happy with the change in direction. This episode may not be heart thumping but it did provide something to push it in the right direction, hopefully it stays that way. I suppose this seems silly, but I do want to see K become a pretty good anime, a few bad episodes and a typical setting, plot and several character tropes doesn't mean it's doomed. I'm enjoying it, but would like it a lot more if it continued to improve. Until next time. |
| I LOVE THIS SHOW SOOOOO MUCHHH!! T^T THE FEELSSS MANN, I LOVE EVERY CHARACTER T^T I CANT EVEN ;____; Btw, I find the Red King and Anna ADORABLE ;W; <3 I have such a fetish for the "King" figure protecting and always caring toward a little princess >w< |
zoze said: sob sobsobsobsosbsobsosbsobsosbsobsosbosb..beautiful, just beautiful. they change the ed.theme. YAy THIS. SUCH AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED EPISODE. I literally bawled this time around. That song. No I can't odkjfslkdfjsldkjfsdfsdfsdklfjskdjfsdklfjsdfksjdf.asdkfnakLSDfjaklsdfjkasjdfkajsdkfljasdkfjaksldjfalksdjflkasjdfkajsldkfjalskdfjkalsdfljasdkfjasdkfjaslkdfjlaksdjflasdf I CAN'T ANYMOREEEEEE I JUST CAN'T. I LOVE ALL THESE CHARACTERS TO DEATH. s/kldfjslkdfjsfsDFJKSDFJs (MORE FUSHIMI NEXT EPISODE YEAAHHH) My (new) theory is that "Isana Yashiro" does not exist. This split personality thing makes sense because someone may have altered his 'friends' memories so that they 'remember' him, but when he's gone (at least out of the school) then they forget. If Kukuri was right in front of him she would recognize him. This may be because his family may have wanted him to forget about something that may have happened. I think that it's possible that Shiro killed Totsuka. I'm not sure why, but it's possible that he did. Now that we know that there isn't solid proof, at least, makes it a possibility. And isn't the colourless king Weissman? We saw him on the second episode I believe. Seri x Izumo? :DD The dream in the beginning though. D: Oh Mikoto D'': One more thing; it's obvious that Neko knows something about Shiro. She clearly tried to prevent the phone for a reason. :/ I'm really looking forward to the next episode. Anyways, my eyes are red from watching this episode, so I'm taking a break from my laptop. |
| finally best ep so far.. Anna so cute.. :) |
 |
| yashiro and kuroh and ESPESCIALLY neko are fucking annoying. kinda intrested to see why yashiro is forgetting himself and how people are forgetting him as well. the guy in homura's past (the one who died) story was really sad. and seeing yata cry was really sad too ;w; |
| I might hate gora a lil for this episode i cried like a baby, anohana is the only other anime thats made me cry.... But those of you who dont feel as though this anime has plot can go to h3!!, it's not the greatest anime in the world but the best one ive seen this year... And im glad we're getting to see into the relationships of the characters... Neko is hiding something and i think shes supposed to help him i just dont know how yet, but what is exactly up with shiro... Ah.. im confused but at least this anime has mystery and intrigue. Did anyone else see a younger fushimi in the ending song in one of the pics super sad... 5/5 |
| The most important things in life, aren't things.... C:UsersAmberDesktopproject k pdfamuxD.gif |
| This episode was nice. It was interesting to see the flash backs, but now I'm just utterly confused xD. |
"When everyone else is about to give up, the fighter who becomes the role model, is the true Leader."  |
| Hmm, looks like Isana notice something there. That ED was quite nice though |
 |
| Shiro has to be feeling great right about now identity crisis! |
| Interesting ep with the flashbacks and everyone forgetting Shiro. Neko got a few laughs wit her character but what's the point of her character in this show O.o? Fanservice/comedy? Is she gonna have some big reveal at the end of this series hmmm? Seri Awashima lookin FINE as usual, damn I love onee-sans X D |
| So we get no Fushimi this ep =[ He was badass last ep . Anyway ... kind of confusing until now , hope they'll make it clear next week |
 |
| This shit is really confusing. But I like it so far. Very pretty anime but I hope it picks up a bit soon. Az least now there is some sort of plot going on and we know a little bit more. |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| Woah. Kusanagi looked so much like Dino better in the past o.o The ending was nice~ And it looks like Kuro is somewhat attached to Shiro, despite all those mysteries surrounding him, since he hasn't killed him (yet). |
zoze said: Wow, interesting episode. It was actually rather enjoyable, excluding all the depressing bits. XD Looking forward to that fight next ep. Hopefully it'll be longer than Fushima vs. Yata. Yuki's singing was awesome, as always. /wrists |
 |
Raphow said: kaji yuki simply the best <3 Really, now...? |
| @feedmelol This is an interesting theory... I'm convinced *-* It may be all her doing ;) oh btw... They aaaaall looked so damn cute younger! *-* And seeing my little Misaki without the hat melt my heart~ I'm still mad at Seri, I really dont like her.. *hiss* Izumo,love,... *q* |
 |
| That guy was such a bro. Too bad he died. |
| At this point the only reason I'm watching this show is to see Isana either go crazy or get killed. I fucking hate Isana. |
 |
| Loved this episode, it was really good, can't wait for next one, looks like it will have a lot of action. And that character who got killed was really a nice guy, it explains why Yata and everyone else from Homra is going crazy just to catch the guy who shoot him. Ending was too pro. |
 |
| Does any actually know the ending song here? |
Kageyami said: Does any actually know the ending song here? Circle of Friends by Yuki Kaji |
 |
| So we finally know the back story of the guy who got killed. Quite sad, but now i really want to know who Yashiro is. |
| D'awwww. Kaji Yuki singing. Double d'awwwwwwww. |
| good ep |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| So Neko has something to do with what is happening with Isana... Anyway, Yata with no hat looks good.. their group pic at the end is good too.. this ep explains a lot why the Homra group are so into revenge.. |
rebelakumaNov 8, 2012 5:39 PM
| Ohh, I'm surprised, Kaiji Yuuki can sing :O And I don't really get how some people can actually be really sadden by his character's death since he didn't get much screetime, maybe because of the manga? Maybe I'm a heartless person. Neko's preview is hilarious! Anyway, I'm looking forward to the evil Isana! hehehe |

| You have to award the writer and director of this episode. In just a short time they make us fall in love with a character. When we all see his death ( end though we already knew he was dead), we all got a little sad. Some more than others. Also I hope people will give K a second chance now. The writers said that episode 6 is when the real story starts and judgying by this episode and preview for next episode; I believe them. |
MidnightPride said: How? its an INSTAGRAM effect, this anime is INSTAGRAM lol im beginning to think that Isana Yashiro has a illusion cast on him and it maybe the work of Neko Isana also has the carefree behavior of Tatsuko the one he killed feedmelol said: hey everyone i just registered to talk about this episode... I love this anime and it was truly emotion packed! but one thing i don't agree on is everyone thinking people forgot about shiro. I disagree... What i picked up on was that shiro isnt disappearing but he doesn't wherever he isn't present. That is why kukuri could not remember him if he wasn't around and that he is in no pictures. Infact the guy said you're one of my regular customers but he wasn't in any pictures. SO he remembered him because he was there. And i think this is all neko's doing. Neko is the one making everyone recognize him, which is why she is always around and it also explains why she said no cellphones because she cant make kukuri know him if he isn't around her. The one thing that confuses me is that in the preview u can see that in the reflection as they are running, shiro's reflection on the window behind them isn't there... like he doesnt exist. The only instance i can think of that goes against the theory above about people knowing shiro is when kukuri took Kuroh to shiro when she first met him in front of the school. Overall, i think his memory has been messed with and he was the killer but he isnt the bad guy... tatara was TOO good not to be the bad guy... lol and also im pretty sure neko is messing with his memory and forcing people to think they know who he is which is why she is always around and also why he isn't in the list of school students. It just explains everything but how kukuri knew where shiro was when she first met kuroh. let me know what you think! im hype now that is a very interesting theory of yours |
degNov 8, 2012 6:05 PM
| Colorless is like Air. So the ability of Colorless King is that he can become like Air. You don't see its existence or even feel it. Just my little speculation. |
| 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.

| Totsuka-san, Totsuka-san, Totsuka-saaaannnn!!!!! ; A ; -sob sob sob sob- PD: LoL, the young red king looks like Kagami from Kuroko no Basuke |
- I only draw freestyle! - |
| I wonder if there's some sort of connection between the guy that died and Shiro? Shiro acts terribly similar to him after the murder. I wonder if Shiro will inherit his memories later on. Speculation aside, this was a surprisingly good episode for K. |
| wtf im even more confused lol |
 |
| Interesting ep and I am curious about Shiro. Something just seems off with the whole memory thing. |
 |
| GREAT ED!!!! kaji yuuki got better at singing. sad episode... |
| Cue fujoshies. |
