| Aria's mom have a "nice" sentence... O.O So that's why Aria needed Kinji to help her. I wanted to see her mask down, but after all, she took it off quite easy, and seems to be not that far of a soft person. Riko proves to be much of an inteligent person again. Enough to be the Butei killer herself. At first i liked how she made Kinji go into Hysteria mode. Then the truth came out. I had somewhat of an suspicions for her, but all the clues I had to now weren't enough. She revealed kind of early, though. Her prehensile hair surprised me quite much o.O . And all the Lupin/Holmes story just made this anime interesting to me. I always liked Holmes, and now we see descendants of him and Lupin in this anime? It's good enough, probably no matter what happens next. |

| the fight scene was awesome, but the magic hair kinda ruined it.. im still loving this series so far, still cant see what people hate about it. |

Omniknight said: You took the words right out of my mouth. Horrible episode. I didn't think it would lack this early in the series. Looking forward to the next!Another show that drips of overused cliches... Can the male protagonist in harem anime not be useless? Also, why bother doing the foreshadowing that Aria might die at the end of the episode... She has PLOT armor. She can't die! Unless they pull a Mami Chomp, which I highly doubt |
| I hope they kill Riko by the end of the next episode, she's fcking annoying >.< |
| Damn! Last episode I pondered about the Butei killer being Shirayuki, since after the clocks thing, it was definatley someone Kinta knew. I'm glad I didnt put any money on it. Damn, never saw Riko coming! Superb episode, nice action, nice body! |
 |
| Riko is super sexy psycho now. I love her. oh and Lol@ Kinji's thought process: 2 seconds ago I had a knife to her throat, but I find it more effective to watch the sweet battle and scream "ARIAAAAAAAAAAAAA" |

Iilia said: Wasabi said: You pretty much nailed it.What. The. Fuck. Did. I. Just. Watch? Holmes? Lupin? Really? Really? REALLY? And then.... GUNKATA FIGHTS? What? And then.... MAGICAL HAIR OH BAH GAWD. So Aria gets shot up at pretty much point blank range but doesn't go down but only at the oh so plot critical moment at the very end. The only thing saving this terrible show is the completely outlandish shit they pull out of their asses during the fights. Why are they even trying to make it dramatic? She's the leading role; of course she's not going to die >_> i dont even need to say anything else, except that the fight was awesome! and damn i liked the riko girl :( |

| Loved the riko seduce kinji part;P Why?!? Riko?!? Why u be thee killa?!? |
| uhh... |
| Bullet proof uniforms really cheapen a gun fight. |
| Now they've fucked it up...not quite predictable, but really dull. |
 |
| hahahahaha! Hysteria Mode is really awesome! What a crazy episode! |
| That was the dumbest and most obvious plot twist ever in an anime. |
| I kinda knew it. At first I did think maybe Aria was somehow involved. But then I realized it was Riko in the last episode. Well quite a bit before the show revealed it. Riko's hair thing was kinda lame. Even with Super abilities. It reminded me too much of Yami like others have said. I did like how Riko tried to seduce Kinji. Show should have spent a bit more advancement on that then all at once before the reveal. Surprised Kinji didn't do anything at all. Unlike how he was with Aria at first. Guess it was a misunderstanding...? So does this show tie into Lupin the 3rd? I haven't really seen that. Should I now? -_-. I don't really want to. The fight was pretty good though. Still Kinji could have did a bit more considering what he found out. Or is he having a hard time fighting a girl? I like this anime. It's lame people hating on it just cause of a voice actor. lol? Only thing I found kinda lame was Aria's being scared of lightning reminded me too much of Rikku from FFX. Should have had someone else involved also. Not just straight out Riko all at once. |

| I think I'd actually give this anime a high rating in the enjoyment department. It's so good because it's hilariously bad. I'm just so inclined to keep watching so I can laugh at how bad it is. Funnier than a lot of the "comedy" anime out there, actually. |
| I KNEW IT. IT WAS RIKO. JUST DIE GIRL. Well, before watching this episode, I made a wild guess that Riko might be the culprit. So I'm right. But I don't think she's the final boss. It's funny that she was trying to seduce Kinji. Dat yandere's face. ARIA NOOOOOO. KINJI, DO SOMETHING MAN. I KNOW YOU HAVE HIDDEN TALENTS. This is getting better and better. It's a shame there's only 12 episodes and not popular. |
 |
| rika plot twist was interesting. fight scenes were ok. english dub version is pretty good. eh. 6/10 |

| I had a feeling it was Riko I dont know how but I did think it was her plus after the scene in the room alone with her like seriously like it was screaming her but that is me So yeah it was pretty good though n that really was a lame ass reason as to why she was doing what she was doing to be honest but that is me. |
 |
| Riko was sure full of surprises this episode, both seductive and psycho. Attack of the deadly twintails! That CQC shoot out was hella intense. Wonder if we'll get a cameo appearance of Lupin the 3rd. |
 |
| Epic gunfight battle. |

Leonard93 said: at least it explains why inquest found now evidence, Riko herself is a member of inquest so she used her position to get rid of it. Also, did anyone else notice that MINE is part of her name? As in FUJIKO MINE? Just asking.the butei killer is actually a student in their school, oh ye thats totally believe-able. anyway, pretty okay episode, good action. Edit: Ah you guys did. sorry posted early |

KaitoDash said: probably because Butei aren't official cops, this article was nessecary to get public trust.elijah_erh said: Butei Charter Article 9: Butei cannot kill, regardless of the situation.They aren't wearing bulletproof vests on their heads, are they? That explains what you wonder, yet, raises another insane problem about that Article itself. |

| Lupin IV. I am laughing so hard right now, and I don't know why. I think it's because it would have been more fitting for Aria to be related to Zenigata than Holmes. |
| I found so funny see people rampaging about Lupin and Holmes stuff saying that is "lame" when actually they don't have the talent to offer something better. Meanwhile the author its profiting it a "lame" work. |
| I have no idea who Lupin or Holmes are or any of that nonsense but I'll pretend it's just another legendary name for the sake of the story. The gunfight scene was pretty cool, too bad it was so short. My first impression of the Butei killer was that it was that school principal. Who would've guessed it would be Riko. They never gave many hints to lead to her in the first place. |
| what a dumb episode, he should have shot her when, she said that she was the one behind his brother's death, but he didn't because, hey its anime and people cant react normally!tsk, fucking idiots... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| the close combat with pistols was cool but rikos reasoning makes absolutely no sense. even if she would somehow surpass the "original" lupin wouldnt she be called "the 4th" even more? anyone reading this be excited for the next episode :3 joe_g7 said: what a dumb episode, he should have shot her when, she said that she was the one behind his brother's death, but he didn't because, hey its anime and people cant react normally!tsk, fucking idiots... if you would have watched a bit more youd have heard the explanation that guns arent lethal because of the bullet proof vests (though it doesnt explain why they wouldnt go for the head or something) |
