| I guess nobody visited the graveyard and nobody heard gunshots and found it suspicious? If this episode was before Art's death, it would have been okay. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Well that felt completely out of place. |
| I understand that the mood of this episode upset a lot of people, but the truth is, no one actually /knows/ that Art is dead. I'm not sure how the other characters are supposed to react to something they don't know about? Moral disguised himself as Art, and talked to Nice on the phone. So while the viewer knows that Art is dead, even Nice assumes Art is still alive- but just acting strange. Anyway, I liked how they showed us how Murasaki felt about always being one step behind. We kind of see this in the manga as well, so that's what I enjoyed most about this episode. I'm still hoping Art makes a comeback somehow... I feel like his character had more potential, and to just kill him off like that really sucks. |
| Hmm could Morel be trying to create an ultimate minimum power from other Minimum Holders??? He did say he wanted to be equal to Nice |
| Animation was crap!! (only the close/face/body animation was okay), hate when after the sad thing they do the filler -.- After last week's episode, I was so hyped to see more, like some mystery and not this kind of happy boobs fanservice boobs episode. huge disappointment! Wow! A nice chara dies! Staff: Let's drop that shit! Time for some beach fanservice! What happened to Art? Meh, you'll maaaaybe see it in the last episode. We can spare few minutes. Until then - ENJOY THE FILLERS~ -.- What I'm guessing is that that long haired creep takes Art and gives him the Minimum. If he killed him for real, that's some more mystery for this anime. But watching/hearing the preview, that sh!t's not gonna come soon. Next one is probably gonna be similar to this one and I'll just sigh, rewinding to see Murasaki's chest once more. kufufu I hate filler episodes... |
 |
| The mood shift in this episode was really jarring. To be fair, no one really knew what happened to Art and his body was "taken care of". It wasn't really all that bad but the point could have gotten across without a random trip to the beach or Honey fanservice. |

I haven't read the manga or anything, so this is just a random thing I am saying: Wouldn't it be really cool if Art really did have a Minimum all this time, and it somehow allowed him to not really be dead? I dunno, like, having skin that eats bullets if it is wet, or something. The manga only has three chapters translated in English right now, and it started off by telling how Murasaki and Nice met! So I don't know anything about what happens to Art either lol It would be cool if Art's minimum was somehow awakened, or like some other people have suggested, what if Moral takes Art's body and gives him a minimum?! I just don't want him to be dead for good ;^; |

| nice-kun is like invincible or something wow wonder how long it'll take him to realize art is dead ;_; |
| okay first his gun changes color then the cell phne doesn't lies next to art on the grass but on the stret on what the heck is this psycho does to art now ?? Sorry but this ep just cant read the mood and I was and still am damn pissed about this --- do they really have to make a wanna be funny ep after arts death I couldn't enjoy it one bit and hope that the find out soon what happened // and Moral playing with arts body is disguists me totally went down for me 1/5 and still have a feeling Hamatora doesn't knows what it wants to be finally getting all watchers hocked up after a ep and making the worszt after ep ever |

Even at the very end, when Art had the chance to survive- be it through obtaining a minimum- he still declined the opportunity. So if he did somehow gain one, that just go against everything he was portrayed as! I was just thinking of ways to explain how Art could come back, because I really don't want him to be dead for good >.< |

| A lot of people are considering this episode filler but I don't see it like that. The show up has been about catching up to nice and how the weak aren't really able to catch up and that was heavily highlighted in this episode. There were also more moral plot elements that gave you more questions that answers. And no one knows art is dead, so of course the mood hasn't changed yet. We have 4 more episodes and I know from episode 10 will be when everything comes out. There are hints everywhere and you guys should pay a bit more attention to them than just seeing the lack of "moral progression" as filler. |

animation15 said: I wonder if the old cop was alive the whole time? The scene of leaving early at the police station confused me. The old man and Art were seen together. How???? I had always thought the old man and Moral were one and the same person, then I saw the old cop with Moral (as Art). Someone explain, or give me some kind of theory They never did show Moral actually killing or even approaching 'the old man'. As of now, we don't know the conditions that Moral needs to use his minimum to disguise as someone. Since we watchers were shown that he killed the doctor and Art before disguising as them, one would easily assume that death is needed. So unless, he has a second minimum or if he had consumed the minimum, which enables duplication, there's still gaps in his abilities that we do not know to assume that the old man was Moral or not. But in my opinion, as the story was progressing, I was always under the impression that Moral only disguised himself as the old man went he really needed to infiltrate the police facilities. But as to why he can disguise as him, I'm thinking of two possibilities: 1) The old man never died. Moral doesn't need to kill that person to disguise. He just used it to his convenience. Need more info of his abilities to progress for this theory. 2) The old man was killed before he entered the police force by Moral, then Moral transplanted a brain (minimum or not, debatable) as seen with the possibilities of his past crimes and the surgery scene, to keep the old man alive as his spy. Or he doesnt even need to be a spy; Moral just needed someone he could disguise to be in the police force. |

| this show is so anticlimactic I'm unable to take it seriously... I'm...disappointed with the series so far, that's for sure |
- I only draw freestyle! - |
| oh I just loved this episode I really enjoyed myself and come on people the characters don't know Art died so they can't react sad as stated by another user here, but yeah I kind of don't want to believe that Art died because it's not fair damn it |
 |
| I knew it. Moral copied Art. For some reason, this episode was ridiculous. |

| shit episode but maybe Moral is going to use Art's body for his next sick experiment? :D |
| Was expecting something grand, but looks like they decided to go with comical relief. Little bit disappointed, but the episode in itself wasn't that bad. Somewhere around 3! |

I loved the ending of the last episode - it was brilliant in so many ways!!! I can even say it was the best part of the whole series so far! Yet, that new episode somehow killed it for me.....it was way too random after the huge bomb they dropped a.k.a. Art's murder!!! Of course, we got to know Murasaki's feelings better but that was pretty much all there was to it! Ah, Moral's closing scene, too! >.> It feels like they just can't get the mixture of the different themes right! My opinion! But I suppose there are two ways to continue the series - the one they chose being the funny/silly and relaxed way, where the characters stay unaware of Art's death and some hilarious nearly absurd things happen or the other way where they stick to the heart-breaking and nerve-wracking atmosphere they created at the end of ep 7 and level the anime up into a more consistent series where they don't make you jump from a happy mood into a devastating one and then rush you back into the funny, "nothing happened" mood! |
| Wow this show really can't do comedy. Terrible... Stick to drama because when it tries to be funny it falls flat on its face. |
| Why am I still watching this trash? |
| Well it was a break from the shock of last episode. Many things were silly but still fun enough, I mean those delinquents bringing in the whole crew was hilarious, the competition itself was hilarious too. Nice curb stomping Murasaki even in normal combat was a bit too much imo. All in all not a bad episode and somehow they hint that Morel will be found out, well nice seeing he has a sidekick and preparing for some major revolt of sorts. Rei and Honey were sexy!!! |
 |
| I don't get it... why do they have to keep showing us with crap episodes that accomplishes almost nothing?? it's one thing to create filler, it's another thing to create STUPID filler. This episode has the same taste as that gay robbers from a few episodes back. The case and the story were too god damn stupid (even vanilla) I ended up skipping most of the episodes. Information broker "traveling on business" my ass! They couldn't pull a more cliche coincidence if they try. Fuck this shit! I'd have dropped this if it wasn't because I wanna see how they deal with Moral, I guess I can hold this until the final episode. |
 |
| why are the ending of the ep so interesting!! |
| meh, beach episode and it wasn't even interesting. animation was pretty shit this episode. http://i57.tinypic.com/20qhwms.png mondo oowada is that you?? |

Yes. ^ This episode was ok, I felt it was really jumping all over for a minute, then the triathlon. When Honey's mighty said it didn't work in sea water, please repair, I literally started laughing more than I should have lol she was so certain. Well this episode had a couple of funny moments as well. |
 |
| Lame beach episode... |
 |
| Rei was pretty cute Also, Moral is a serious threat right now. |
| My theories after watching this episode: - Moral doesn't need to kill someone to be able to impersonate him/her. - Moral has an assistant? That's pretty surprising... What kinda girl would work with Moral, anyways? I think this girl might have something to do with Hajime (remember ep 3 Hajime said she'd seen the purple monster before?) - I actually hoped Art wouldn't really die but... maybe his body was gonna be thrown away, or burned, or something by that girl. I don't see why would Moral go for the trouble giving Art a minimum after Art said he doesn't want it. After all, Moral's logic was "providing opportunity", and therefore if one doesn't wanna take that opportunity, it means he is weak - why would Moral give him a Minimum at all? What I think will happen is that Moral planning to be Art forever and show up in front of Nice as his "best friend" after he got his "same-on-Nice's-level" Minimum. - Or... Art is going to be given the Minimum. After all, the last scene on Moral going to revive all those people on operation tables would make you think like that, right? But Hamatora is pretty unpredictable, so I kinda doubt that. Still, poor Art... I love his mole, too. |
| Rei and Honey were hot Nice really is unbeatable. |
 |
| I'm disappointed- I found this episode to be pretty lame. That guy really didn't need to hire Hamatora at all and the beach gang triathlon thing was boring to me. Also, does anyone think Hajime is a bit of a cliche? Actually, she's more like two cliches in one- the character who doesn't speak much and the character who loves food. I don't think that's a winning combination. |

| Dang Rei is hot. |
| So many parts were rushed... Overall, an okay episode. |
 |
| Hmm i thought Art's assistant(?) the old guy was the guy with long hair?? Why did he appear in the same scene and even talk to the fake Art (which is actually the long haired guy)?? o.O |
 |
| Entertaining episode, but honestly, this show would be much better if they cut the comedy and the filler-like story. I would prefer something like Psycho Pass where it was mostly dark and gloomy most of the time. Like, this episode would be more fitting as an OVA... |
| REALLY? after that cliffhanger in last episode, we get THIS? bullshit ._. it would be better if this series has only 6 episode but no filler-like episodes. |
 |
| If i was right, Moral's pistol was gold last episode, right? why it could become black this episode? --" battle between Murasaki and Nice is pretty good. and this episode provides some fanservice, eh? Rei's body is nice lol and I just realize something weird, it said that Gasuke (Art's assistant) and Art were already killed by Moral, right? then why at the end of the episode they met each other? ..... |
| *insert philosophical quote here* |

| I'm still upset over Art's death. I hope Nice finds the truth out soon. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Wow seriously? Beach episode after what happened in the previous episode? That is just wrong on so many levels. |
