I wonder whats the connection between the girl and the flower, and why that guy is so crazy about it.
Hei is like an undercover agent, he's cold but what a badass.

This.
I have a feeling, that this series is highly overrated (like DN and other hyped anime)
Dub = fake crap. Always.

They're emotionless. Not from they're work or what they have to do to survive, part of the price for their powers is losing emotions. Each contractor has an arbitrary "payment" they feel they must do after using their powers. This can be a massive handicap like the finger snapping guy or pointless like the pebble positioning guy. They aren't human, appeared along with the gates and each has a star in the false sky which fluctuates when they use their powers and falls when they die.

Anime could have better composition for scenario but thanks for explaining

Good pacing, so far. This episode did not contain a lot of action (at least not until the very end) but it was nice to watch nonetheless.

mainly some build up in this episode. the first scene with the scientist was pretty intense and can be seen as foreshadowing for the upcoming events.

If this was the very first ep of the series, I'd probably think that Hei is some kind of rapist >D I want to know more about him and the rest of the team, they seem more interesting than the story itself so far, sigh.

Good filler type episode. Let's see if there are more explanations for these powers next 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.

I'm definitely intrigued by the mystery of the wall and sky and look forward to learning more. It was interesting to watch the process of someone becoming a contractor and the different prices they have to pay. Although Hei was on a mission, it was sweet of him to wander the night with the girl and cheer her up - before everything goes to hell.

Nice buildup episode for this arc, interested to know about the survivor who went in the Gate and came back to have his personality warped like that and also what happens to Mai too in the next episode after the inferno events. Li hanging out with Mai through the night and giving her company after her depression due to her loneliness was nice, although Li's such a damn convincing actor for this situation. The pacing felt a bit slow but that's the kind of pacing required I feel for arcs like these to get the most out of it.

I wonder what the connection is between the flower and the girl.

Why is her dad acting so distant tho

I get that the stars in the sky = number of "contractors". and i get that the real stars disappeared and were replaced by these new ones when the gate appeared. but obviously we don't yet know why (or at least I missed why haha).

I don't know how exactly that plant was connected to the guy's daughter. clearly it died when she fully transitioned into being a contractor. but why? the researcher guy knows something...

I had thought the cat was the guy in the mask in the opening scene in the first episode that killed the french contractor. but by now that's clearly not the case. the guy in the mask is the "student" living in the cheap apartment building who is a contractor-killer. Is he the spectre? is the cat? what even is the cat?! I still don't know what exactly a doll is/does? well, technically, I'm still not sure about most of it. It's slowly providing more info but not really answering questions (yet). which is fine. I'm intrigued by it all

probably gonna bump this to an 8/10 due to the compelling sci-fi mystery nature of it

I can't believe the contractor has to fold pages in a book like that. I absolutely hate it when people mark pages like that in books and this guy did it for every page in that book.

Between this and Louis's finger snapping, it's obvious Hell's Gate is just hella sadistic.

That girl is annoying. Still waiting for things to pick up, nothing big is happening so far but it's to be expected. Everything will be much better later one probably.

Whoa whoa, Hei is really good at getting people comfortable with him and then prying secrets out of them. This is why strangers are scary!

And I was thinking that Hei did have a big appetite, hence why he kept eating large portions. But then I read the early replies and responses on this forum saying that it could be a form of his contract. If that's true then I think that's pretty lame for such a cool character....

En lo que va este anime está bastante bueno, la ambientación moderna y opaca le da un toque especial, a ello sumarle la banda sonora que es una genialidad, a ver que sigue con esta historia.
