THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The show continues to impress me further. Whereas the manga was good with Yuki/Yuno's escape, I find their emotions while escaping along with the 4th's devious machinations of evilness towards Yuki/Yuno were pure awesome in this episode along with the fact that they are animated. Shit's about to hit the fans! If there is one more thing not to omit for me is the following,

Keigo’s son is IMHO thee most noble cause next to Tsubaki’s cause since she is my favourite. There is absolutely nothing more noble than saving one’s dearest not to mention innocent life. His wife here was the same one as the one in the marriage.

One of my favourites was Minene more than Yuno despite being more excellent than her manga counterpart. Mainly due to the following,

This sure shows how much of lucky playboy of Yuki is to have such a good feel of Minene’s breasts no matter how you look at that scene. So should we ship Yuki x Minene now? Their faces there are priceless.


Manga VS Anime differences.


All I can say is amazing because they finally put way more good stuff specifically of Yuno to make her much more better but also seem also not invincible.

  • In the manga Yuno only hits with fire hydrant a normal police officer while in the spoiler
    the anime clearly shows a detective not to mention Nishijima also gets knocked down since he goes in the bathroom too. This was never in the manga and does make Yuno look better because she got 2 of them and both were detectives, which are higher than normal officers. Furthermore they have more experience and were dumb-asses to have being beaten like that IMO.

  • The scene of when Yuno shoots Keigo was much shorter in the manga. Comparing in the spoiler
    both parts, I can tell you that Yuno fired her gun much more than in the manga as in she had 2. She also shot right away at Keigo’s face rather than his weapon. That made her looks cooler for sure. Poor Keigo there

  • Juicy extra is juicy in the spoiler
    they made Yuno shoot out 2 extra bullets she had at the detectives wounding one of them nicely! While in the manga they skip that and just go to the stairs right away. Curse Yuno for shooting the Afro detective though. He is cool! :P

  • The way they showed how Yuki shot the detective in the spoiler
    made it allude more he was going to live because in the manga it looked worse with part of the lung being attained.

  • They showed Yuno getting wounded in the anime in the spoiler
    that was not shown in the manga really. It shows Yuno not being invincible so much.

  • I am sorry can I please RAGE TEARS? For Yuno fans? OK I RAGE at the spoiler
    the studio fucked up so bad such an amazing romance scene it is incredible. Instead of the kiss being in midair and so much netter they do it at the rooftop? Oh please! That is infuriating since it could have been so much more different in mid-air. The expressions were better in the anime of this episode.

  • I find the pee scene in the spoiler
    better for it offered some Yuno panties fan service and great shy expressions.

  • They did not include Yuno taking Yuki’s dairy in the spoiler
    for some reason it would have been cooler to see her use 2 diaries again and would explain why Yuki did not have his diary while being with Keigo.

    So all I will say it’s quite amazing that much extra of Yuno but disappointing of the kiss scene being like that. At least it was more emotional IMO.
So the question is, how will the survival go? Maybe more later.

BTW Finally did the GIFs in the club:
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=378723
Loads of stuff including Yuno shooting like wild.

Image Stitches done in the spoiler
Minene in nurse uniform is hnnnnngggg. That eye patch too.


Side Notes:
From first gun:
1 bullet to knock out gun from 4th
3 bullets fired that missed
1 Bullet hits and scraps 4th’s side.

Second gun:
3 bullets fired at 4th’s bullet proof jacket.
2 bullets left.

I.. didn't like this episode. There was something very wrong with how Yuno's and Yukki's shooting scenes were executed and the whole police station part wasn't as powerful as it was in the manga.

Another thing I REALLY disliked was this visible transition into crazy mode for Yuno. That's something I didn't even imagine there was in the manga and here it felt out of place. Being crazy is a part of her character, not something she jumps into when Yuki is in danger. It may also make people who are not familiar with the manga jump into wierd conclusions.

Also, while I don't mind Murumuru's omake parts at the end, I don't get why they can't spend more time on the actual episode. 3+ minutes for the bonus part at the end!

While I agree with you, I don't in a sense. That sense being that the specials are a help to know more about characters like 12th's house where he lived and how he got the diary. So it's not all that bad but when it produces nothing out then I understand your discontent with those specials.

I'm sure they left out some parts of the manga, but it was still was adapted quite good, after all they really need to speed up with the story ( I still think they should have made this a 32 episodes anime ).

So next week we will see the mind blowing climax of this arc, can't wait for it, the first day after christmas is going to be awesome this year XD

Minene and Yuki getting stuck in between two blasted holes was amusing. Minene was great again with those expressions of hers. Yuki can't believe he actually shot a gun at a person. He was having a mental breakdown after that.

Goode episode,4th saga begin

It was a good adaptation they changed somethings but one thing i didnt like much is his ON/OFF Yuno yandere mode,its really forced and unnecessary hopefully they dont keep doing it the rest of the Anime.

The Police station scenes were good,Yukki shooting someone was good but for me i didnt have the impact it had in the Manga,still besides that it was good including the extra scenes,also the kiss scene would have been better if they leave it as it was in the Manga.

The Piss scene was funny and even better,nice fan service there,seeing Yuno brush like that is always cute.

Minene as always is awesome,her faces are amazing and always made me laugh and she its a sexy nurse,also she is a badass what more you want.

Next episode the 4th saga ends and we are almost halfway there!

Amusing how there were explosions in the hospital but yet there seemed to be no one around to make a fuss. Not even Kurusu's wife. She acted like nothing even happened.

As much as I loved Mirai Nikki when I was reading the manga, these are things that annoy me more in the anime now. This makes no sense -_-' Could they at least try to show people running around being scared. There was a freaking explosion!! Anyway, apart from the usual lack of sense, I liked this episode. Anything with Minene is good.

Yeah, OK. So Yuki is afraid of every damn thing, EXCEPT jumping off a tall building. And what an empty hospital that was.

I can't help but feel everything Minene does feels out of character. She's apparently the comic relief character of this series. I don't know why, but I still want to see how the series will end.

Agree with all this.
Her 'Crazy Mode' weren't that visible in the manga and weren't that sudden. The transition was more smooth between the 'Normal' and the 'Crazy' Yuno because as you said it's just her personality. It felt rushed and like she was some kind of Robot 'On' or 'Off' with the eyes and all... Dislike that part.

The whole Police Station and Hospital scene seemed fake starting from the moment they try to escape the building. For some reason the whole speaking with 9th in the room of 4th son was weird like they are talking about pretty much getting rid of him but no one is having a reaction. I don't really remember if that felt also like that in the manga. =/

It was a pretty good ep, but leaves you unsatisfied. I'm really disliking mur mur's section now. It makes the ep way to short. It ended at 19:40mins, when it should be ending at 22-23mins. That extra 2-3 minutes really does make a difference..... :S

4/5

Watching this...after rewatching Code Geass, isn't the best thing you should do.

I like how Minene just up and takes Mrs.Kurusu's donuts and then starts talking about killing her husband in front of her like it's nothing.

Decent episode overall, even though side characters were completely oblivious to the commotion in the hospital.

I'm letting you know now, if you watch this for plot holes you will find them in spades and find it maddening later on. It's best not to over analyze this show - if you can step back and accept it for what it is, great. If not, you should probably stop watching now, which based on your comments sounds like your preferred course of action anyway.

That being said, the anime is not doing a great job of transferring the 'vibe' of the manga IMO but I still like it. I also agree that the 'crazy Yuno' transition is weird. One of the best parts of the manga, that was mentioned here previously, is that her actions are just her personality and desire to save Yuki. There is no switch to be flipped nor does there need to be - she's just stabs and shoot people with a smile on her face.

Im actually really good at ignoring plotholes in media that it should be expected like this anime... Just that was a bit too extreme. Like, I can accept maybe it wasnt visiting hours so less people or whatever .
But please say there is some reason to the wifes nonreaction? Like she is in on it? He was an abusive ass so shes totes chill with him dying,or sedated maybe?

Yep, the show better change something or this is going to end up as a comedy.

I agree with said earlier; the Muru Muru corner at the end is useless. I'm always skipping it. I hope they remove that from the show at some point...

Well this episode was interesting. Here's my review

First, Yuno was completelyand horribly done this episode. I didnt like how her eyes changed when she shifted from normal to insane. It should have been just like normal such as when she threatening the breeder diary owner or sweet while massacring 100 people for yuki like in tsubaki's arc. This kind of dehumanized her. It was very forced and a complete 180 from the usual yuno we are used to seeing.

I also hoped that while Yuno was going nuts looking for a weapon to help yuki that she would have thought this instead of saying it out loud. Would have made her seem smarter and would have been more characteristic of her.

I feel like Akise's statement about how unstable Yuno is without Yuki is really forcing the irection to ruin her yandere character by forcing it too much and making it very obvious.

Fourth's plan to use his diary more effectively was great. Forcing Yuki and Yuno to actually commit crimes so his diary would give him info on them was imo genius. Altho considering Yuno killed several ppl not sure why he didnt have info on her prior to this.

The escape of Yuno and Yuki was okay up until the end. It just felt too obvious and too cliche. I also was not very fond of the whole hiding out scene. That just seemed too whiny, messed up, and it screamed feel bad for me please. I dont like it tbh

The sudden appearance of everyone's explosives lover was great. Fan service, comedy, intial distrust of everyone involved and a pissed of Minene make for a great scene.

Next we learn fourth's motivation for partaking in the game. As many people said, a noble but selfish cause. However, I do wish that he wasn't so one dimensional about it. I wish there was a little bit of self-conflict here ie is it fair for me to kill 11 other to save my son. Would he want that etc... I feel like with his job as a police officer it would be a bit more characteristic and not make him seem so evil.

Finally, we see an alliance formed due to all 3 of them having dead end flags triggered. It will be interesting to see how the escape diary, random diary, and yukiteru diary will be used to beat the police and 4th's investigation diary. Not only that but how will our favorite Yandere react to this alliance. As we have seen in the past, if an opening to betray everyone and save herself and yuki comes up she will take it. Will Yuki continue with the plan that will be made or will he let 9th and 4th battle it out and save himself with Yuno. The next episode will be very revealing and I can't wait for it.

The guns scene was so stupid, like when yuno disarms the 4th by shooting his pistol. I hate seeing that in movies and anime. And aiming to the head at that distance and only hits her ear, that´s not the skilled yuno i´ve seen in the previous episodes. Not a good episode.

I liked almost every part of this episode. Even the comic relief part I found to have a nice touch to it. However, I can see the ''alliances'' and ''betrayals'' coming a mile away. It's all too much predictable. Chances are I'll miss something coming up in these next few episodes that might surprise me, but, I doubt it. Looking forward to the next!
