| I am really sad Huang didn't die . I dislike him awfully much . |
 |
| This is one of my favorite episodes in this series!! Amber vs Misaki vs Yin !! <3 |
 |
| Took a break and coming back to this season. I liked the Mexican stand-off ending & its unique resolution. |
| Such junk... |
| Great episode, Huang survived it as I thought but Amber was really interesting, it seems that she loves Hei yet Hei hates her. I want to see more of this, it's so good. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I am wondering if amber's power goes beyond stopping time. Can see see the past/future too? Or time travel? |
| NOVEMBER 11!!!!!! WHAT A BRO! Regardless of all the important scenes that happened this episode, those two (July) were definitely the highlight for me. July calling him his "friend" was touching as well. Maki was actually starting to piss me off, but I couldn't help but feel a bit of his despair as he said "goodbye". That said, Hei and Amber's emotions/reactions were excellent. I didn't think Hei would ever slap her, and then she stops time, kisses Hei, and leaves with her underling. She must have really hurt him in the past, and then there is the whole deal with his sister... those tears looked pretty real to me. She is the one suffering the most from all this and I can really respect how she still manages to smile, even if it is faint. Huang and Hei's short battle was great too. I was glad to see Huang's response when he woke up, he really does understand Hei, it's just that he wants to protect himself and them all from the Syndicate. |

| Psycho bitch Amber should just die. Hei should have killed her for not telling him where his sister is. Also November was pretty cool with his powers. |
 |
| damn hei went all out on amber. Im surprised she just wont tell him where his sister went if she loves him so much. Huang deserved that shit, he's so lucky bei let him off easy. especially after shooting him in the leg. amber's eyes are a cool color. of course maki's are very different as well. everyone's saying amber's powers are great, and they really are, but maki's are also extremely OP. these are like two of the most OP powers Ive seen on a contractor. It looked like Maki didnt have nearly as large as a price to pay though compared to Amber. Im surprised Amber shrugged off Maki's death like that. I felt kinda bad for her once she died but she did kill a lot of people and almost kill november's partner. |
 |
| Quite interesting episode, that Amber person seems quite interesting! I wonder when she'll return and what influence she'll have to the whole story! The OP changed last episode and now also a new ED! Nice change although I preferred the first ones more! |
 |
| I don't know if amber is good or bad she says she needs Hei for her plan or there plan but will she not just use him like she used other agency's but i doesn't seem that way. good Huang was shocked to bad he acted all tough when he survived hoped he would change his attitude a little or died. and no idea why they say contractors are just killers with out emotions the way I see it is that they all have emotions and dreams. but was Hei made into a contractor a different way?? I remember some episode saying he was a Moratorium that didn't seem to go in contractor way or a bad way nor lose control over his power which usually happens but maybe they lied also I don't remember the anime character that said it or in what episode but it could explain why he doesn't have a strange habit he need to do after using his powers. |
| "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 wonder what's going on that Amber really needs Hei on her side. And I wonder why Hei seems to dislike her so much that he slapped her. Then again, in that situation, Amber should've just told Hei what he asked about instead of sayings other things. Once again, I'm still not sure what's going on, especially with that grandmother person talking in riddles. Amber's powers are cool, especially how she can make it so that others can move when she stops time. |
| Awesome episode, pretty intense! So many things I want to know, but I guess I will have to just wait and see. :( |
 |
| Things are getting interesting though unanswered questions keep on piling. It's hard not to see Amber and C.C have similarities because both of them have a guy that's obsessed with them (Maki and Mao). The 2nd ED is pretty good while the 2nd OP doesn't seem to fit the series like the 1st OP did. |

| good thing that kid died.. also Amber is getting full of herself... beat her up Hei |
 |
| Now things are starting to get interesting. |
| I'm surprised at how much everyone hates Huang...I mean, yeah he seems like a bad guy for shooting Hei, and telling him to kill Yin....but in the end he is the only human of the 4, and he didn't kill Yin or let her be taken and reset (how does that work, anyway...?) He's just trying to keep them alive and off the radar, which means following orders. Amber....definitely don't like her. I want it to be Hei x Misaki :( Amber just seems like a bitch, toying with everyone and being so fuckin vague about everything, I mean just spit out where his sister is! Ugh And Maki kinda got what was coming to him..... |

Kagome7 said: i feel soory for maki he just admired and loved amber and he wanted to do what she wished him to do and then he got killed by november, im really starting to hate this guy. This. I believe he could end it some different way... like left him unconscious or whatever. And it's not like the boy killed April and Ladd's double knew about it. + Good job on making me dislike Amber xD I was so happy when he slapped her. I think she deserved it. I'm sure she had her reasons to betray him and all, which I don't know about yet at this point, but it simply showed the amount of pain and sorrow he came through because of her and loss of his sister. And then she just shows up and jokes about it -.-''' Fantastic. As much as I really like C.C., I really don't like Amber o.o Either way, I'm glad Hei didn't pull sth along the lines 'I missed you and love you so I'll forgive you for everything'. It's much more real this way. But really, this anime is amazing! Why haven't I watched it sooner?! On the other hand, now I can enjoy it for the first time so it's not bad I guess ;) Oh, and about Huang... I liked the character from the start, then wasn't so sure anymore with that whole 'kill Yin' thing but now I also think that he's not so bad as it would seem. And I like his image, it's kinda badass and cool xD or maybe I just like that style, I can't tell. I know for sure that he's a really interesting character. So are Mao (I simply love him!), Yin and of course Hei. Geez, even most of secondary characters! Too bad they killed Havoc since I liked her really much :( Well, it's not the time to be writing this ;) Yosh! To the next ep! |

YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT SEE YOU, SPACE COWBOY... |
| I can only assume ambers power takes away from her life ???? maybe ???? seems fucking op haha that little fucker died Not sure how i feel about this anime i guess i was expecting more |
 |
| Best episode fer sure. |
bloodiemonster said: I can only assume ambers power takes away from her life ???? maybe ???? seems fucking op haha that little fucker died Not sure how i feel about this anime i guess i was expecting more That fits, since her remuneration seems to have a limit, life force is one of the possibilities. So much fuss about the old woman talking, and nothing happened in the end. |
 |
| That kid's obsession with Amber creeps me out. Also I didn't expect Amber to have feelings for Hei. He's so popular. It's the collarbones, isn't it. PrimeX said: Amber is getting full of herself... beat her up Hei |
 |
| naww ambaaaaa |
"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." |
| Amber's power is way too OP |
 |
UneasyHeart said: Best episode fer sure. I thought it was the worst. They moved from boring to being pathetic. I prefer boring. |
 |
| Wow, this episode is great. |
| man the explosive boy is annoying. |
 |
| I really like Amber , She is so cool , Very good episode , one of the best in the series. The only thing i didn't like about this episode is how almost everyone survived , lol WTF make some plot twists !!!! also this black agent how did she recovered so quickly , i though it was a mistake making her comeback , they should have killed her along with that boy with the Heterochromia. |
| I still dislike them for killing Havoc but MI-6 is really starting to grow on me. I found their camaraderie for each other pretty admirable. "Amber this, Amber that" My god that kid was so annoying...No fucks giving for his death. That's it, I'm shipping Hei x Amber Probably my favorite episode so far, that time manipulation (and kiss) sealed the deal for me lol. |
 |
| Time stop, yikes that's a crazy strong power. I don't see how any of them can stop that. |
 |
| i didn't get the meaning of that grandma yet. she was also influenced by the ability of amber - what is the meaning of this i don't know. interesting but still confusing episode. dat bitch slap though. |
 |
Ok, this episode left me thinking in what Amber said in the beginning of the episode to Yin, then what she said to Hei and then her power... Could it be that big the sub plot? Is Hei's sister related somehow with Yin? I mean, Amber looked older in the memory but she looks quite younger and smaller, could it be that her prize to pay for that OP ability of stopping time is to become younger? Naww, that wouldn't be bad at all xD unless it's a big toll.. |

| If Hei has a renumeration, it has to be related to always looking glum and dumb. And i don't think Hei is interested in a harem, the only woman he cares about is his sister. He "partnerzoned" Yin, and that only happend under more or less extrem circumstances, before this she was simply there. If she gets more feelings, becomes more like a human and less like a doll, it might happen. Misaki.. i don't see that happening right now. I can see it happening in the end, she's chasing him already after all, even if for all the wrong reasons, but right now, nope. Amber..depends. If she has a good explanation for what happend, sure. But she is not interested in telling him right away, or she can't. So nope. Havoc? They weren't exactly on friendly terms, and she didn't play much of a role the last episodes. Not the best start for a harem. Actually the one with the biggest chances might be the girl in the lab at the gate, the way she acted looked like she was interested in him. And contrary to the others (except for Yin), they meet several times peacefully. About Ambers power: Time stop sure is crazy. But if it takes a huge toll. Still, she could have killed everyone there. Don't forget that contractors are basically still humans.You don't need powers to actually kill them, it's just that nobody tried in earnest taking a contractor out. Think of Kiritsugu of Fate fame. He would love this. Well, not love, but he would be perfect. People who have extraordinary power who forget that regular weapons still work. So she *can* use her powers offensively. I wonder though how it works exactly. Is the area limited? The duration? Can you resist it? Especially thinking of the old woman - why would Amber release her when everyone else there is still frozen? Also, she used a flick to the head on her partner. Might just be playful, but the following scenes showed people "recovering" at different speeds. Everyone was gone when Misaki "came back", her astronomer friend was the first among the people in the lab etc. |
| RIP Maki. His power was cool but I didn’t care too much about him. Amber’s power seems pretty broken. I’m curious with what her payment is. |
 |
| Can someone explain who the old lady is? The lady with all the tubes hooked up to her head. I must've missed something... |
 |
on 
| Why people in this show keep talking about tobacco lol. I mean I don't smoke but Amber partner warned that there's a limit of payment she could pay... I wonder what's her payment? Damn that power is really convenient. Nice usage XD |
| Amber is totally OP, her remuneration must be pretty damn huge >_> Maki was quite a brat, but she seemed to not really care for him, I don't like her... But at least I finally feel somehow invested! |
  |
| Another good conclusion. So curious about what Amber is using her power for and what her plans are along with her associates. |
  |
| little tip yin and hei together in the gate would be like gods they together can decide faith of the world, they are both key's like key in 2pieces hei is one piece and yin other piece its related with what will happen in the ova season between first snd second season and also with second season |
| Amber's power relates to time manipulation eh. Pretty cool power if you ask me, definitely one of the best powers I've seen from the show for a Contractor so far. The episode itself was pretty average for me and felt a bit sleepy, but the part with Hei tired of Amber's shit and slapping her for her vague explanations for the whereabouts of Hei's sister was intense. I still wish the show actually established Hei's relationship with his sister a lot better with flashbacks or some kind of content to show how much Hei's sister means to him beyond the family tag. Still though, the ending with Amber was interesting as she used her ability to manipulate time and kissed Hei goodbye while time was frozen. Tragic love eh. |
| Time stop is really powerful. Amazing Amber's power. |
