| In my opinion it would've been better if they put Sakurako's life on the line instead of Shoutarou's, considering the former is basically the glue that keeps the show together. That and well, Shoutarou's pretty damn boring as a character. |
| Best episode yet or what? That ending was intense as fuck. Can't wait for the finale! |
| Pretty intense episode. The last few minutes though....wow. |
| This story practically save the show from just being average. Brilliantly written. |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| Miserable.... The whole "I had to kill her or get killed myself" thing was just nonsense. Futaba and Hitoe were both outside. Hitoe could've easily ran away and guaranteed her hands would be left clean at least. Hell, Futaba might not have even killed herself at all if she was too afraid to do it herself (why else would she try to make her friend a murderer?). Don't give me any of that "she was scared and couldn't make proper decisions!" nonsense. Her not attempting to escape ignores the "flight" function of the reptilian brain. All of these twists and melodrama were dropped on us with the weight of an anvil, but the show forgot once again to do its emotional investment homework so fuck it. Also even though she was right on the nose, Sakurako came off as a major bitch here (moreso than before). That teacher just found the remains of his beloved student so could you please not use it to prod at his other (emotionally traumatized) students? There's a difference between being ignorant to emotions and sentiment of others and being outright sadistic. And then there was that cliche farewell scene to top it off Also do I need to say anything about the fucking Sphenoider? |
 |
| This episode was pretty strong. Mixed with a lot of things. One of the best episodes. Hoping that the final episode will be just as good. |
  |
| bitch should have died instead of that poor dog Hector was like what the fuck are they on about just look at him lol |
 |
| I got reminded of the old bad-horror-film cliche of "Let's split up and find out what is going on" when Sakurako told Shoutaro to stay away from her. That means that the Mad Killer will go after one of them and the other one will have to be the Cavalry Riding to the Rescue at the last moment. And when it was mentioned that the Mad Killer has no body hair I immediately got a mental image of Saitama from One Punch Man... Oh well, only one episode left. |
| Just one episode left, I hope the last episode is show the "Hanabusa guys" |
| I was actually pretty sad at that episode ending.. didn't see that coming.. |
 |
| what an episode. Probably my favorite show this season. I hope for a 2nd season. |
| How long until season 3 of Spice and Wolf? The World May Never Know. |
| So I skipped watching episode 10 since it was a part 1 episode.. Now that I watch both of them, so the butterfly guy is the main villain... okay... Then I see dramas and some people crying. Then some dramas. Then another dramas and then a dramatic stab to Shoutarou that is resolved 1 minute later. I thought this was a mystery anime? It kind of felt like drama, though I don't really hate it, just kind of misleading. Also are all the young ones in love with older people? Seriously. The boy and Sakurako-san That cute girl and the crying sensei That crazy screwdriver girl with the angel And so on. |
 |
| Well, we saw two crazy bitches. Thing gets even more interesting. Shoutarou...got stab, but Sakurako called her brother name on Shoutarou... |
 |
| Well that was a really interesting episode. For some reason I found sensei crying to be over dramatic and wierd in a way. Didn't see that stab coming, Everyone in this case seems to be mentally unstable xD Wonder if Sakurako will go after Hanabusa or is the next episode just gonna be Shoutarou trying to stay with her. |
 |
| Depending on the last episode this might contend with Death Parade for show of the year, what a brilliantly chilling episode. Excellently well done series, even if some things are a bit predictable the ride it takes you on to get there certainly is not, the brilliant twists bringing you along and the stellar execution of even what you find inevitable are so wonderfully well executed its almost like you didn't expected at all. Really want a season 2 and to start reading this series after. |
| OMG this episode 0___0 |
| Well, at least it was definitly better than the majority of this serie. Still not great but it was entertaining. Let's see how that ending go tho. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| That was actually a pretty decent episode, but with one episode left I kind of doubt they will catch Hanabusa. |
 |
-Claymore- said: His name is Shoutarou. Sakurako-san's brother's name is "Soutarou".So why is everyone calling him Shoutarou? I thought his name was Soutarou and Sakurako just calls him Shoutarou either because she doesn't want to say his name or its the name of the mysterious little boy that was apparently close to her. |
| Come on, show. We all know they'll be reunited in the last episode. Fake drama. |
| Very interesting episode. Futaba wanted to suicide personally so I don't know how to feel about Hitoe for the assist. I don't hate her, I just feel disgusted. Stuff like this makes me wonder who is the worst. Imo its Futaba. Good thing she is dead. After that, Hitoe and Minami are both equally dislikable. They are all humane though, this is what the show is great at. And I still don't give a damn about Shoutarou. Sensei is a little too emotional about his students, he has some minor mental issues. Poor guy. -Claymore- said: So why is everyone calling him Shoutarou? I thought his name was Soutarou and Sakurako just calls him Shoutarou either because she doesn't want to say his name or its the name of the mysterious little boy that was apparently close to her. Because it's his name? And that mysterious little boy was Sakurako's brother, and his name is Soutarou. |

| Hmmmm, i thought Shoutarou died... That was disappointing.... >:D They will reconcile at the finale... Just a wild guess... :) |
 |
| Shit got real in this episode, easily the best of this show. So this Hanabusa guy is the main culprit, not only in this case, but in the previous cases as well. Like others here, I do have a slight feeling that Sakurako herself might've been manipulated by him in the past. It was painful to watch Minami's and Hitoe's breakdown at times. Starting with the three girls living in their peaceful haven as a means to escape the pain of their everyday lives, mainly because they didn't really fit in with their family anymore. So it made it depressing that Futuba wanted to commit suicide and Hitoe assisted in doing so. Disagreeing with Gedata here, a completely normal person in this situation would reject Futuba's idea and get her immediate help before it's too late. For Hitoe, she's far from a normal person, with her fragile state of mind possibly affecting her choice in this scenario and assisted in Futuba's suicide rather than doing the obvious choice. Some things are MUCH easier said than done, especially if the person in question isn't his or her normal self. Shoutarou was brave though, getting in the way of Sakurako so she wouldn't get stabbed. However, her choice to cut ties with him is only going to play into Hanabusa's hands. Hopefully, she'll realise this before it's too late. |
| Wow this was such a incredible episode filled with suspense, tragedy and just so much that kept me literally on the edge of my seat the whole time. I really feel sorry for all of them, like I can see how they all would turn out crazy like this after what has happened to them like just wow. The eyes of everyone really hit me in this episode because they all just looked crazy and scary and really just had me thinking at any moment they are all gonna kill each other. But damn finally everything is connecting with Hanabusa and the ending of this episode man, I wonder what will happen with Sakurako and Shoutarou...AHHH I WANT THE NEXT EPISODE NOW!!! lol :P Mod edit: Youtube link removed for advertising. |

| Hector is true a dog that white shine always gets me. Still sad how she tries to abandoned sou taro. Crazy episode altogether |
 |
| Some rather fucked up friendship indeed. Wasn't expecting this. At least they connected the mystery painter to the story, I wonder, whether he will make his move or not. |
| meh, somehow I kinda hoped Sakurako got stabbed instead after that intimidating and somewhat careless act of her... (seriously dude, turning your back from clearly mentally unstable girl?) one more episode 2 go ~> |
Denne episoden gjorde meg tenke Sakurako-san som Shoutarou |
| Wow, this episode ended so quickly...Sakurako-san made some pretty scary faces this time heh |
| All those movements and Sakurako's wide open stares XD lmfao Minami and the angel bit was the best part :) Only filthy humans have too much hair :) |
 |
| Crazy Episode, those girls need help |
| Hi there |
| And I thought the redhead was the least crazy... Omg. Why the boy :'( Sakurako was the defiant one! Poor thing. |
| The best episode so far in this series. I'm glad this time they didn't relied too much in tons of boring exposition as in the previous episodes, and finally we know who that mysterious man is. |

| Best episode of this series yet. Man, both of those girls are freaks. The ending though. Shoutarou not dead, strangely I'm disappointed. 5/5 |
 |
| Now she's done it! Sakurako is real freak digging bones of the girl and showing them to her friends. She's literally taking pleasure in suffering of others. I hate this side of hers and the way this anime is glorifying that fact is just disgusting, nothing else. And even other characters' reactions feels so unnatural sometimes. Hm, and the end... that's exactly what you get when you deliberately provoke mentally unstable people. This time Sakurako boasting and self-esteem made her responsible for everything. Too bad Shoutarou got stabbed instead of her. btw - during the ending sequence.. that Sakurako's usage of famous Nietzsche's phrase totally missed its point. |
Mich666 said: btw - during the ending sequence.. that Sakurako's usage of famous Nietzsche's phrase totally missed its point. Very true but the quote is usually misunderstood as it is, to the point it has now become the norm. The only one I felt sorry for in this episode was the teacher. His breakdown was really emotional, kudos to Ishida-sensei. This Hanabusa fellow seems to be poor cousin of Johan Libert, still has a way to go if he ever wishes to match him. |
 |
| Oh boy ... very interesting episode! So Futaba actually wanted to die, and "forced" (in a way) Hitoe to assist her ... so it's debatable whether that's really suicide or if Hitoe just killed her I guess. Minami's definitely obsessed with Hanabusa, I guess that's how he operates - but in the flashback he has long black hair doesn't he? So what's this about him not having any hair anywhere? It seems like Sakurako's uncle was tracking him as well and he steals bones ... hmm, very interesting. Unfortunately the last bit was pretty dumb - the whole "stay away from me so you don't get hurt" thing is so overused. I guess she means well but that never works, and it just hurts her relationship with Shoutarou - I guess she didn't react well to him being stabbed, and I guess with her brother dying it's understandable I wonder how they're going to wrap this up though? Are they gonna go after Hanabusa? I mean obviously Shoutarou's fine and it seems like the case was wrapped up too. There's only one episode left and at first I thought this arc would go until the last episode but I guess not ... well in any case, I hope they end strong :O |
-Claymore- said: Also can anyone answer the question as to why she won't call him by his name? He seemed to understand when he said "so that's why you won't call me by my name" and Saurako said something along the lines of "that's right", right at the end there. But idk if the viewer was supposed to understand at that point or if that was supposed to be part of the cliffhanger for the next episode. Any reply/ discussion would be great. She just explained that they had to cut ties. Shoutarou was saying "So that's why you won't call me by name" means that he thinks she was keeping him at a distance (emotionally) because she expected to cut ties with him eventually. However, even though she said "that's right", it was just so that Shoutarou would think so and not be hopeful. Her reaction afterwards shows that she actually did have attachment to him and she forced the words. Everyone was high on adrenaline this episode... Sakurako wasn't very smart this episode, provoking the girl... wasn't really surprised when someone got stabbed. |
| This probably won't get a second season. It would be dope as shit to find out Shoutarou is hanabusa or his son and hes been hanging around just to torment her. This last episode needs to be a head twister if there's no second season. |
 |
| Daaaaammnn that went off the deep end real fast, in a good way. The really sad and twisted story of the girls, Sakurako laughing at them (she's a dick, lol), Shoutarou getting stabbed, Minami going mental and getting committed. Didn't think I'd be saying this because of a few of the past episodes, but I'm excited for the finale. |
-Trippwire-Dec 17, 2015 11:46 PM
| Your boy seems to make it thru everything and you just leave, did you not truly learn from this case. I'm mentally ready for the season finale and hope for the next season. |
Mormegil said: Come on, show. We all know they'll be reunited in the last episode. Fake drama. We know every main character in almost every vanilla love stories ever would end up with the main girl, all those love triangles are fake drama. We know Conan would eventually destroy the black organization, all those tensions with their underlings are fake drama. We knew Harry Potter would eventually defeat Voldemort. All those trials and deaths along the way are fake drama. We also knew the One Ring would be destroyed and Sauron defeated so really, what's the point of watching 10 hours worth of conflict over the ring? Do you see how stupid your logic is now? |
 |
| The ending drama was unnecessary otherwise the episode was good. At least I wasn't bored as compared to the previous ones. Sensei's reactions were a bit surreal. |
