Well I don't know what I'd like to say... This episode is so sad, I literally cried. :'(
And well I haven't even recovered yet but they're already moving on to Mink next episode.... wow.
Good job NAZ though for the great (better than usual?) animation this episode. Favorite episode so far (...Clear isn't even my favorite).
Ending song is Lullaby Blue by Itou Kanako.

I have to agree that this is the best episode so far. Even if the transition between scenes was rather strange, I still cried.

OHHH CLEAR BBY WHY YOU DO THIS -STILL SOBBING-
I hope the ending of his route is animated too... I will kill them if they don't. BLASPHEMY.

a little different from the game but still lovely with the rain and all, and i really really hope his song gets released as a single. its too beautiful to not be.

Mink next episode... Well they did a good job with the other peeps so I hope his episode makes me like him cause I actually dont LOL oops sorry to all Mink fans x-x

This is the first episode of DMMd that actually made me cry. Both when Clear took his mask off, and also at the end.
Very well done. This was one of my favorite episodes, and I liked it even more than Noiz's, which is odd for me because Noiz is my favorite.
Hearing the Grand Music and especially Clear's Jellyfish Song was absolutely amazing. I liked how they included the Scrap bit--the gears and things in the background looked like the two choices in the VN, which was great--though I do wish it had been a little longer.
I hope they animate the ending for Clear.
Not too excited to see Mink's route next week, as he is my least favorite, but hopefully it'll be good anyway!

Clear is not really my fav route, but i must say i liked the adaption of his route best so far. It didn't felt so incredibly rushed than the other routes (even if it kinda was) and the emotions actually came across for once plus the Clear's song was done really well. (plus for single release!)
I kind of want to skip Mink's route next week... =_=

I made it just for this episode.

I don't want to continue this anime anymore, Clear was my favorite both in VN and anime. Finishing/watching his route kills me everytime.

Plus. They didn't even kiss. . . . I just. Yeah.

No no no no no no no no NO NO NO NO!!!

Why?! Isn't there a path in the VN where he lives?? Why not animate that one instead!??! I'm crying damn it!!

Some of my friends were pretty against Clear, thinking he's creepy. He was my favorite.

I actually don't care for the buff guy at all, not really looking forward to the next ep. . .
The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being.

Hands down best episode (for the best char too, imo).

Did not expected it to be so good, tho.
I like it even more than the VN version lol

And is just incredible how they did it with so much feelings without even surpassing the bromance line here, just... wow.

I've never cried so much in my life ;-;

...wait

yes I have..

playing CLEAR's ROUTE in the game ;^;

ffuuuuuu- ;A;
this route never stops making me tear up ever time ;~;
(even though this episode was just as rushed as the others.)

and it really killed me after the credits, they just go straight to Mink (ノ;o;)ノ ┫:・’.::・┻┻:・’.::・
I am not fond of Mink's route, but I am curious what they will do with it (since there are great number of things they can't put in it)

Until then I'll just be drowning in tears...

I was so sad at the end. I was yelling at my TV telling Noiz, actually, to fix Clear! Someone better fix Clear or else I'm throwing my hands up. I hope he'll be okay. Man, I'm gonna be praying till next week or maybe even the week after that for Clear
Just waiting y’know...for death. If you also are waiting for sweet death...cool (・u・)

It was alright. The Clear route is not my favorite, but I think his episode was better told and less rushed. I'm really curious about what they're going to do with Minks route though since so much of it is stuff they won't put in the anime.

This was so stupid. And I thought at least Clear would have some character development. Moreover the singing part was... lame.

At this rate Togainu no Chi will be better than this. The animation quality was so bad I couldn't even focus on what was going on.

What? No. No no no nO NO NO! Just NO! Why?

This was heartbreaking. He was my favorite character from the beginning... I've never played the game, never knew what to expect. He... so beautiful, and he sang so beautifully... Such a caring sweetie. And his story looked the most interesting (I know that is not the most original, but I like the idea of androids gaining/finding humanity).
Please, someone fix him!

When the series started airing, a lot of people said that despite the name "Dramatical murder" no one actually dies. And now you're telling me you take Clear away? Why everyone gets a happy ending and he doesn't? I'm gonna go cry in a corner.

Good ep, though I haven't actually played Clear's route in the VN so I can't say if I enjoyed it as an adaption or not. I thought the pacing was improved from the previous two episodes though.

I'm really interested in seeing where they take Mink's episode next week.

While this episode was rushed like the others were, it was my favorite so far and Clear's seiyuu did a good job conveying his emotions. Though a lot of things were dulled due to being rushed. (The unmasking scene and them skipping
) Still got a bit emotional at the delivery of his lines.

This bothered me the most, since Clear said he 'learned' alot from Aoba but in the anime nothing was said about what Aoba 'taught' him. They literally spent little to no time together. And everyone is falling head over heels for Aoba. I dislike it.

This has been bothering me for a while, but a lot of people seem to forget what happens in this anime. (like with Ryuuhou's appearances)
They actually did have the "humanity talk" but it was earlier than it was supposed to be in the anime. (probably cause NAZ knew they were going to rush this)
I think it was episode 4(?) where we first hear the jellyfish song, and Aoba and Clear talk on the roof.

The thing I've noticed Dramatical Murder both in the game and anime, you need to pay attention and remember pretty much everything about the common route for you make the connections for the things they bring up in the individual routes.

Oh I totally totally forgot that scene, but then again it was no where as significant or feelsy as the game (but I guess it's just me). I guess I'm too used to the 'routine' of the game to notice that they're putting pieces elsewhere.

I'm excited to see how does this show in next episode. Like, are the just be like Clear was never there or is he back to normal himself? I guess they just jump right to the Mink's route and not care about Clear anymore ;__;
But this episode was pretty good, almost felt that it was done better than other episodes...

Well, their conversation was kinda silly anyway (Aoba is just terrible with his deep conversations lol), it had the same significance as in the game to me. In the end, they just changed places so they could do the best paced episode yet (this one and episode 6), without losing any important (maybe not) content from the game.
