how yahiro's brother saw that yahiro was actually a bad person who deals drugs and deep down saw him as a burden who wanted to "cut" his life I'm pretty sure he did not see that..... Segai, Daryl, and Dan are the only characters I find interesting atm :p whoops yea, i worded that wrong i meant to say that his brother realized (by looking into his heart/void) he was a bad person, (because yahiro was a guy who deals drugs and he betrayed shu blablabla) and that yahiro wanted to kill his little brother, correct me if im wrong but he basically can see the bad side of peoples hearts along with their voids, he even said that shu might have a bad side to him if im not mistaken |

| Posting for the sole fact of that epic soundtrack near the end. Holy shit, that was pure awesomeness. |

| Well, after the last few episode being pretty lame, imo, this was finally a good one again. Segai and Dan are so awesome. SHOW SOME GUTS! |

He doesn't think his brother is a bad person at all. Hes just "tired of seeing unkind sides to kind people" and is afraid he may start hating. But hey who wouldn't go mad practically being a quadriplegic and being forced to live. |
| Interesting episode, a little fast paced though. This episode made me think of like a thousand questions too. lol. I wonder what the significance of the song Inori and Gai were talking about. It seemed sort of random. And why was Shu's face all scribbled out when Daryl looked and him through his Endlave AND What exactly was that device on Daryl's Endlave actually mean't to do to Shu if it did catch him? ._. As you can see I think about this a lot. |

| That episode wasn't that bad actually. The story itself isn't that bad, the mechanics work, just remove the shitty characters. It's pathetic when the most interesting character(arguably Gai) is cliche enough to homogenize. The show does have a great OST, and high production quality, and it did decent this episode mainly due to the absence of a certain pink-haired apathetic sex slave. 4/5; scoring relative to all the piece of shit episodes so far, it's good. There's still huge flaws of logic, but this show has such low standards now. |
 |
| I know everyone's sick of the Code Geass comparisons, but this episode furthered my hypothesis that But yeah, dramaaaaaa. It was only a matter of time before something really broke poor little Shu. |
| Ha-cha! |

| Best episode yet but that isnt saying much because GC has been bad so far. I really liked this episode because we had no fancervice and no Inori. Seriously Inori is one of the worst female characters I've ever seen. She is just a walking fanservice with no personality. Maybe she will turn to be a robot near the end... now that would be a nice twist. |
 |
| The villains are outdoing Shu, Gai, Inori, and all the others imo. They are just more enjoyable characters. Loved the ending art though. |
| This is a bit more interesting now. Finally! They remembered that there was an apocalypse happened! Did they change directors this episode? because this is going in the right direction. will post opinions later |

| wtb more Ayase screentime. Most interesting character even with such little screentime so far. Or for the other characters to catch up to her I guess. |
| Although this is still a huge improvement from last week's atrocity I can't bring myself to like this show. Shu wasn't all too have bad, gotta have guts from having a sniper shoot at your feet and have no reaction to it at all. Or maybe that was just bad direction, who knows~ The only real thing this show has going for it is the music, I really like it. |
| Well Hare found out about Shu pretty much the same way Shirley found out about Lelouch. I would probably put money on Hare dying some tragic death just like Shirley as well then, well thats going to suck could they not just blow that soulless doll Inori away instead? Why did Shu have to have to say he killed Jun in the most vague unexplained way possible is he trying to get his head beaten in? At least explain it a little so Yahiro knows what the hell happened to his little brother. |

| Finally a good episode. An episode with little Inori is good. |
  |
| ... ...... ...Guys. ... Wait for it... ... There. I said it. The words I never thought I'd say again. Wanna know why? 'Nuff said. ...Okay, it wouldn't be a Draconis post without SOME criticism. The snipers (but they were probably firing for effect) and Hare being near the action, but somehow unharmed the whole time. And the FUCKING PICTURE AT THE END. God... GTFO. But that was really it. Be amazed, everyone. |

| Critiquing now begins! Best episode do far: The direction was good and the effects of the sound were good also. I feel a bit more about the past now. "WTFS:" Hare somehow following Shu unscathed, and Guards nit aiming for Shu. Plus WHY dies Hare like Shu has yet to be explained WIL(what I liked): Ayase screentime! Shu admitting ti killing someone, Gaya. I'm guessing this will be the beginning to where Shu becomes Not-a-coward and is rolling to kill? That's what the episode's objective seemed like to me. So, Yahiro the asshole has to hide his little brother and sell illegal drugs. The Anti-Bodies are after them and he pleads Shu for help. What? He just betrayed the MC in the beginning now us asking for help? Daryl again...... They're trying force him into a MC too hard, I'm disliking this guy with passion. It didn't explain why the virus is taking over a machine. Could they be..... EVANGELIONS!!!???(Aka not machines) Why did Shu have to kill Jun? Apparently Jun thinks his hate is cutting his brother's life? |

| I just know this episode was ok. I'll be damn if i watch it next week. You just know that bitch ass Shu will be all sad next week and wont man up until the last 30 seconds with Inori saving his ass like always. |

Lestrade said: I'm pleased to see that GC is finally heading in the right direction and focuses more on the things that made this series interesting in the first place and less on the comedy/fanservice aspect though it still can change in the next episode. So, basically people who got infected with this virus can see voids? I didn't expect this turn but it certainly makes the disease appear more complex. one episode doesn't make it head towards the right direction. |

| Hope they include the end cards in the BD/DVD release *drools* |

| dameeeee sht went down |
 |
| I'm telling you guys, the less Inori we see, the better the show it will be. |

Soldiers in the heat of battle and a boy in cold blood, even if it was to save someone else, isn't exactly the same thing. |
| Wow. Shu showed alot of confidence in this episode. Even went ahead and killed someone too. o.O |

Tanrim said: Soldiers in the heat of battle and a boy in cold blood, even if it was to save someone else, isn't exactly the same thing. Pretty sure he didn't kill him "in cold blood"(look it up yourself :P) though I get(?) what you're trying to say and its incorrect regardless of what manga/anime tell you, if he had accidently killed him that would be another matter. Personally I thought he was sad because Yahiro entrusted his brother(who he slaved away for) to him and he ended up killing him. Would make alot more sense than him being sad just because he killed someone after all hes done but GC doesn't exactly follow logic so who knows. |

Would make alot more sense than him being sad just because he killed someone after all hes done but GC doesn't exactly follow logic so who knows. in cold blood Deliberately, coldly, and dispassionately. I'm well aware of what it means, actually. I just used it in a bit different context to point out the extreme differences between the two. Bit of both I think but, yeah, it probably has more to do with Yahiro. Personally I'd be a lot more bothered by killing the kid then how it related to Yahiro but that's just me. People tend to to give more weight to things relating to the people near them, though, so I can see it from that angle. He didn't really know Jun, after all. It was a really bad lose-lose situation, we'll see where it goes from here. Regardless, it's really hard to say what Shu's views on killing are since pretty much no time has been given to it. I would suspect that he has a lot less problem taking the lives of soldiers then someone like Jun because they seem a lot different. One is the bad guys that murder innocent people, the other is a poor kid trying not to kill his own brother. |

I mentioned this eairler in the thread, but it's pretty obvious they weren't shooting to kill, but to try and spook them into taking cover in a building, thus sending them into a trap where they could be captured. |

That makes sense from the point of view of the snipers but doesn't explain Shu and Yahiro's lackluster reaction. "Gee, someone is shooting at us? Let's just take a casual stroll this way." Yahiro almost seemed bored, really unenergetic and deadpan. |

Yahiro almost seemed bored, really unenergetic and deadpan. But either way, Shu's reaction wasn't perfect but he was certainly "OH SHIT" for a moment before Yahiro calmed him down a few seconds later. The whole exchange was around 15 seconds, and right after that the warning shots continued. It's pretty simple to work out that if they didn't shoot to kill to begin with, it's just warning shots. And GHQ has captured Shu before, it's reasonable for him to expect them to only want to capture him again. It wasn't a perfect scene, no, but I think it did what it needed to. This really is pretty minor thing though, honestly. It's just that GC has got to the point where most people are nitpicking at it automatically :P |

| Now we get to see Ayase knitting. Can she get any better? |
     |
| I just hope Shu doesn't get depressed because he killed someone and stops talking to people. qvnsq said: When did shu change? did i miss an episode or something what the hell made him to change? Not sure i think i am missing something. I thought the exact same thing. He suddenly wasn't a wuss anymore. ¬¬ |

| Thats it, I know exactly what is wrong with this anime: Tetsurou Araki is an incapable director, just as simple as that. I wish the producer could cut his head o-, I mean replaced him with a more capable person. *sigh* CrazyMotoka said: I just hope Shu doesn't get depressed because he killed someone and stops talking to people. Thats not the point, Shu said to Yahiro that he (Yahiro) is a traitor while he (Shu) himself is not. So, he promised that he (Shu) will save both of them (especially, Jun). But, in the end, Jun who are the priority V.I.P got killed. And worst of all, by someone who promised to protect him. There should be a drama inside it, but like I said. Tetsurou is a h*ntai maniac, so he should direct more porn rather than anime. *Cough* of The Dead *cough* ps: sorry for the rude words, but the director is really ticked me off by his crappy directing (and his fetishes). |
 |
| I actually liked this episode. Finally, some depth to this series. There were some glaring errors in directing (e.g. snipers and hare), but meh. At least its going somewhere now. lol 5/5 |
| Epic episode ! this is a 3/3 for me =) |
LostGamer said: Good God dude. You might as well just go fap off to porn instead. It's only one step away.Hope they include the end cards in the BD/DVD release *drools* |
