OK, could somebody please explain who the guy that picks Akira up is? I don't think i've ever seen him mentioned in the series before, but he acts like he knows him perfectly... of course, this could just be my bad memory. Or it could be Shaft fucking up. Or it could just be my bad memory. Or it could just be my bad memory.
If you are talking about the guy in the car then it's Alphonse here: http://myanimelist.net/character/30594/Alphonse_Medici_Borgiani

In spoiler my anime list for now.

Not a bad episode. There are elements I really like, but it looks like all the pieces of the show I hater are 100% SHAFT. That kind of makes me want to read the manga, but I know I won't do it. Despite all that, the show is making up for much of the first half, so I might boost it to a 6 from a 4 depending on the ending. Right now, I'll bump it to a 5.

Whoa, this really was a good episode.

Also, you should give a few chapters of the manga a look. It's this but without SHAFT and no amnesia plot interruptions.

This anime needs a dose of detective police dude


Dude, it's not just that. SHAFT seriously messed up the (so far) BEST arc in the manga. They killed the Chinese wackamoly in like, what, 30 sec? And Mei Ren fails, fails, fails miserably as an original character. The only thing I can give them credit for is the shape-shifter. She's well done. And the decapitation scene. Now, that was good stuff.

Woot, nice thread. That would explain the big WTH but yeah, I think I was too appalled/disappointed/angry at the changes to care.

Anyway, I'll be super relieved once subs for the last episode gets online. It was (not) fun while it lasted. :D

I hate this anime even more with every episode I watch. I mean seriously, why does shaft have to make this wonderful manga into such an absurd anime. Everything's rushed, the twists are completely different, the setting changes from where it's meant to be set so quickly, shit dies SO easily and they don't even follow their attributes (like the Chinese guy's "speed" and the twist of the GUY that was helping him out after the fight with the female assassin). I was sure he tore Mina in half with his hands in the manga too but that was probs just how I wanted to see it :S But that scene was the only good part of the episode tbh. Fuck me why have I not dropped this shit yet.

Edit*: Also, wtf is with this "Tell me what you saw 1 year ago" shit? Was meant to be an interrogation of Mina's true form

Now that was intense. Now all that's left is that 1 assassin. I think Akira got this. He's gonna get sex from Mina when he wins this so he better win son.

Oh and I wouldn't mind having babies with Meiren either. I mean if I'm a werewolf and she's a werewolf then it'll be better plus she's hot and has a bigger boobs than anyone else.

Alphonse did something I've always dreamed of doing though, driving a massive car at full throttle trough a crowd of people xD
I can't begin to count the times I've felt like steering up on the side walk and plough away ;P


umm...wat?

Anyone who at least once have driven a car trough a pedestrian filled area should know what I talk about =P

Come one people don't say you haven't at least once felt like just moving the steering wheel just an inch "too much", and unleash carnage upon the unsuspecting crowd? (^.^)

i understand how that feels, thats why you need somthing called WILLPOWER or GTA4!!

Well that made no sense...Akira is fed transformation suppressant drugs in the sweet that Meiren flips into his mouth yet he manages to "wolf-out" to bite the head off the transforming assassin. So it's worn off? Nope, when he's patched up he's warned that the drugs are still in his system.

Way to forget about certain plot devices when they're inconvenient.

I liked the fact that Mina cried after the purity test. Not because I enjoy seeing her suffer, but because I like to see that she has emotions and can be vulnerable. She was acting all cold and haughty most of the time, and I cannot stand a woman like that. I like her better now.

Why do they spray synthetic blood from helicopters? That seems extremely wasteful and stupid. Why not distribute it in, I don't know, ANY other form? Have you guys invented bottles?

I was annoyed by Mei Ren's kiss. Does this have to mutate into another harem? (Also, I hate Mei Ren. I hope she dies.)

Best episode so far my favorite scene was the decapitation scene =D
Fuck, yes. Not merely decapitating but BITING the head off the shape-shifting chick. That was awesome! By far the best scene of the anime yet IMO.

I wonder what exactly they do during that purity check....just look?...or do something a little more "physical"...
Stick a finger in there to make sure the hymen is still there?
I hope the vampires are educated enough to know that the hymen is NOT a reliable indicator of virginity.

Finally, I can see Bund's inhabitants and a bit of worldbuilding. The "purity inspection" was kinda disturbing to watch!

All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

So all that purity test involved was the old hag hymen checking or something? You would've thought the pervert lords would've used it as an excuse to have her molested further than that, unless it did actually involve that and most of the scene just got censored and adapted out. Mei Ren was as supportive as usual, but her past and motive still seem like a bit of a mystery, aside from wanting werewolves to stick together and her newly revealed love for Akira.

My favourite episode so far. It felt uniquely gritty and brutal, and character interactions felt more natural than they did in the previous Hysterica subplot. The cityscape also looked phenomenal during the stigma rain.
