Aww what a watch. Such a show, this really has evolved into something remarkable since my first impression at ep 1.

Well long story short the biggest question for me is that cliffhanger sentence Shoma said. Gotta watch the next one to understand.

The sudden change from Himari's Seizon Senryaku universe into nightmare-ish subway with dark blue hues and 95 spinning all over made my heart skip a beat, I don't know why.

And Yuri, that was cool.

It's still painful pairing Shoma with Ringo, he might be the only person who could put up with her antics but... man... he deserves a better girl.

Another great episode. Penguin 2 made up the comedy in this ep. Gas attack. XD
So the biker wasn't Masako but another person. Probably it has something to do with the pink fabulous guy.
And Ringo, I thought she'll never change but instead she hesitated to do her plan coz of Shouma. I hope she makes up her mind.
And the last dialogue, probably an incident happened that tied Momoka's death and the birth of Shouma and Kanba.
Still curious as to what curse Masako is referring to.

Mamiko Noto was such a professional, not giving a thought to that stalker bitch and her plans.
I guess it is true that no man can stand on the same pedestal as Mamiko Noto.

Great episode. I can tell this is a show that is just begging a re-watch one of these days, as it can get somewhat difficult to process everything. Ringo continues to be an interesting character. It seems she is beginning to see that her obsession just isn't the right way to go.

This was just amazing! What was that accident 16 years ago and why are those brothers to blame for Ringo's sister being a victim? Ringo perhaps finally understands her true feelings after that weird frog experiment (I was amazed they actually put it in that it worked) funny episode and interesting development!

Lets see what's next!

I don't know about anyone else, but I've had it with this series. This is so incredibly boring to me! Sure it's funny at times, but lately it's just been weird. I was hoping for something of Utena proportions, but for me, this show is a failure! I feel nothing but total apathy for each and every character, and I can tell already that I'll probably hate the ending. I'm just going to save the rest of my precious brain cells and drop this mess right now!

A past stalker? I get the vibe that Kanba might have been adopted with each episode that he appears in. Surprised he gave up so easily when he's usually the one that can throw morals out the window.

What the fuck just happened...her crazy, cult ass concoction actually worked? HUH. And when her chance finally comes, she backs out. WHAT. Should have read the side effects...

Yuri took that surprisingly well. Like, holy shit, there's a hole in your door, your betrothed is trying to get with a teenage girl, and said girl just told you to GTFO, HO.

We finally can skip the Survival Strategy sequence! Woo.

Dat cliffhanger. Holy shit, this show. Really want to know what happened 16 years ago and how their birth could possibly kill someone.

Dafuq, even without the diary she still hasn't let go. As expected of a yandere stalker. Even with the power of shady black magic potions she still lost to Fabulous Max! Gotta love how calm Yuri was during all of it. She was totally in control.

Are they referring to THE sarin gas attack on the Tokyo Subway from 95? If they do, that's pretty hardcore for an anime to refer to something so serious.

Ringo falling for someone else is the best thing that could have happened to her.

Is this a dream sequence or some kind of fantasy? If not, this is absolutely absurd.

Where the fuck is this show going? What the fuck is happening? Why is any of this happening? Why hasn't anyone questioned the motives of Ms. Penguin Hat? Why the fuck did the red haired guy have a psychedelic experience? How the fuck did that love potion work? How do they even know that Penguin Hat will save their sister? What if she decides to leave as soon as she's got her penguindrum (it's not like she's shown a shred of empathy for any humans thus far, so why would she care later)? If they wanted to prolong her life, couldn't they just steal the diary and refuse to give it to the penguin hat until their sister lives a long and fulfilling life?

I'm beyond being disappointed. I'm angry. How dare they show me something promising, then shit all over it and expect me to eat it right up

Little by little, we get to know little things about their history, which is really nice. It looks like Ringo isn't in love with him. She WANTS to be in love with Tabuki.

Ringo is ruining the show for me. I can't stand how she's getting away with her selfishness. She came close to raping Tabuki twice (by drugging him), and she relishes beating up Shouma, who does so much for her.

Ohhhhhhh so Kanba's redhead ex wasnt the one on the bike who stole the first half of the diary... then who was that....

WTFFF the frog potion worked!!
WAT. a week ago Ringo tried to rape Tabuki, now shes pushing him away. WAT now Tabuki is trying rape Ringo. WWWWAAAAATTTTT and Yuri is all of the sudden giving up, allowing Ringo to have Tabuki

Holy shit we got a Survival Strategy without having to listen to "Welcome to Rock n Roll Night." Thank you. and we're given a new plot point about an event 16yr ago that caused Momoka's death on the same day as Ringo, Shouma, and Kanba's births. HOPEFULLY that is explained in the next episode and not left open forever.

completely off topic, but which anime is this in on your signature?
looks so sweet...

anyway, completely agree with you. i really don't like ringo and would bitch slap the hell out of her.
i'm not too fond of kabuki either. come on, the girl drugged you a few episodes ago and you go and accept something she said she did using some mysterious water? okay then. and he's supposed to be an adult.

i love all the connections and symbolisms the show makes and how it amazes us every once in a while making sense out of connections we haven't even thought about. but to be honest to enjoy it, i have to turn my brain off a bit and just enjoy this. i'm liking it so far; (;

The question remains, did that all happened as Ringo thought it did? Was it another of her fantasies? Was that reality tainted with her view?

Anyways, glad to know nothing happened. I'm always at the verge of thinking something will in fact happen u.u

Shouma and Ringo should not end up together. That relation is too unhealthy.

Himari is still calling Ringo her friend. That shit was okay with letting her die! A person's past is not their fault, but their future actions are.

Ringo is the worst character in this story, yet Shouma is the bad guy for trying to stand up at all. This makes no sense at all!
