| Great episode nice development and another case closed... I do wonder if this anime series will be like this 2 episodes per case and perhaps a couple longer ones? Still interesting though lets see what's next! |
 |
| was flipping through the book vector guys abstenance? and have we seen hei's yet? |
"Stop whining, all I did was chop off your stupid legs." |
| good episode and show but the anime is a bit strange is doesn't really give a feeling its trying to explain its story but okay we are only at episode 4. but it gives off a feeling that it will not explain that much in the future either hope I am wrong. |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| I should've found this episode touching, but Mai annoyed me quite a bit, especially her yelling, it hurt my ears :/ If not for the action scenes, I would have fallen asleep. Hei is awesome as always though. It does seem like he has some compassion. And the talking cat is definitely a plus. |
| "Doushite?" That was awesome. And the policemen getting split in half gave me flashbacks of Elfen Lied. lol |
 |
| Wow... That was actually touching. :'( I don't think we're going to see Mai again since the anime has an episodic nature. |

| What the hell? She burned her classmate and classmate's father? What did they ever do to deserve that? Kinda messed up : ( |

| Mai's voice is really annoying. Anyway, okay arc...I'm hoping the main plot kicks in soon. :X |
| So far it's cool. Just wish there was more action and the epic mask appeared a bit more |
| That was dark and sad... Hei was too harsh on the old man. It's not like he did something wrong trying to help his daughter stay human... kirAth-shiAue said: Bloody and violent, just how I like my anime |
| Ouch she killed her best friend and the father. I can see why she would become a contractor just to forget all that. |

bettynoire said: Side note: The slice and dice made me think of Elfen Lied, but Lucy was totally cooler than random Contractor dude. ^^^ Actually I felt more sorry watching her friend and her father die (? hope they survived...?) than I would if Mai had died instead. Great anime so far! *still hoping to see more of Yin though! |

| seriously Mai's voice sucks to bad.. |
 |

| Well she's alive getting interesting feels kinda episodic (kinda ) 2 episode arcs lets see what happens next |
 |
| Nice episode. The father who tried to "health" his daughter and finally fumble ; I don't think we can blame him for it. Mai kills one of her friend and her father... Kinda depressing indeed, need to see what will happens for her after become a contractor. I don't like the scene where the policemen are cut, too gory and in an useless way. |
| So, Hei kills with touch, that is a cool contract. I wonder if we'll see Mai again, in full contractor mode. |
 |
| they gonna team up now or what |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| If Hei's payment is overeating, then why is he always overeating? :| And not necessarily right after he uses his power. Is he just a hungry person? |
| "But why not?" |
 |
| So in the end, Mai became a full-fledge contractor. Quite the sad episode indeed, considering not only she lost her dad, killed many people including her own friend, it seems like she lost all traits of her original personality. |

| I'm really not liking cigarette dude. A real prick that guy. |
 |
| this episode is all about the girl named mai. along with her story there is some information given regarding the moratorium, which happens to be a distinct version of a contractor. also it's clear now that contractors are actually humans. the violence was okay no censorship to complain about. |
 |
Good episode. Everything ended up having sense. The story explains bit by bit how everything works with the Contractors as it progresses. Adding to this my opinion of the previous episode, now I see that the Contractors are directly linked with constellations. In the beggining I thought it was some kind of symbolism. More violence, gore (kinda, soft-gore) and feels, of course. Again, very good episode. As a side comment, it's fun to watch old anime because while you enjoy it for being good (in this case, I find it to be a good anime) you also compare how in that time they did the animation, photography, music, FX, script and compare it to now. To this time, it's a 9 year old anime. |

| Hope we actually get to see Mai again sometime in the future. Although I don't have high hopes. |
 |
| I hope Mai makes a return in future episodes. |
 |
on 
| I dont know if I like the show and go on watching it. The episodes are okay, but it has an episodic structure, no continuation at all. Will Hei be the only 'main' character we get to see, and female characters who show up max 2 episodes? That Misaki girl is also not around much. |
   |
| Where did they send Mai? And what's the purpose of Lei's group? |
| Whoa, didn't expect this much gore happening in this series, reminded me of the very first Elfen Lied scene lolz. |
  |
| Good conclusion to last weeks ep - sad but good story. It was heartbreaking when Mai watched helplessly as people she loved died. |
  |
| A lot better than the previous ep X) I liked the violence. I was a little dazed from sleepiness when the popo's limbs got cut from Contractor strings and it woke me up bwahahahh xP |
| Bruh that scene when the cop had his head sliced in half was beautiful! |
 |
| Really good followup episode to wrap up another simple but entertaining arc, glad to see Mai alive and kicking. She went through a lot with the abilities that were stuck with her, and people she knew and didn't know suffered through that big time. But at least she managed to have a moment with her father, even if she wasn't in her normal state of mind then and is now a full-fledged Contractor to be sent off to the Syndicate. Some good action was there in this episode too and some details were also learned too after the Gate itself and what the survivor/Mai's father was trying to do and learn when trying his best to contain Mai's abilities and suppress it fully, even though he couldn't fully do it in the end of course. |
| Well the fire alarm in that warehouse was bloody slow. Otherwise, Mai is ok, becoming a contractor. Just another straightforward episode. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Seems Mai story end here. Good arc |
| I guess Hei's mask is just an accessory as almost nobody know who he is... |
| So Mai became a contractor from a moratorium, which is basically impossible, damn. At least her personality is more bearable now, but I still don't get why they all have a weird personality. Aren't they still humans? Then why is Hei's personality normal? Interesting. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| I wonder what the point of the mc's team is... |
 |
| 4 episodes in, i’m still fking confused 🤣 |
 |
| So we get another two episode story, but it doesn't feel like we got any smarter. These episodes so far are mostly focusing on the side characters, which will probably never appear again. I still don't know much about the actual main characters. |
