| This episode was the worst of the show. It has lowerd the overall score even, the final ep will have to be really good to solve that issue. I don't mind about the cop however. |
| So the cop had two personalities. It was a rather interesting development. |
 |
| Anyone who says it was obvious- well, I said it could be MPD- but it could have easily been the older cop too. I think everyone gave the writers more credit than the way it turned out. Altogether a lazy finale. 'Opps- my phone- it's OK- Manabe can teleport up a few flights of stairs to the roof of a building he doesn't know the location of if I need him- he'll be over our spat by then...' Also, MPD doesn't work that way- but that's another story. |
If you aren't watching Zetsuen no Tempest (Civilization Blaster), you should be. Brilliant writing with legit plot twists. Just finished blog entry 'Japanese Authors Take Heed' Series (JATH)! Entry 03: Proactive Villains, Reactionary Heroes'. |
| Well I gave the female cop a 50% chance of being the perp, although I still think they took the easy way out. Manabe coming to block the baton swing in the final seconds was no surprise at all. It was a pity that this arc was so weak considering how strong some of the other arcs and backstories were. Moritani's confession and rejection was pretty good and Muroto and Mifune were pretty cute in the hospital so I think they salvaged the episode. But take a lesson from the detective Kotoura. If you perpetually hold in the negative feelings and keep forgiving everyone who does you wrong, at some point you'll snap. And we've all seen what happens when someone with psychic powers snaps and it isn't pretty.... Better find some way to relieve that stress fast. I sure Manabe-kun has some creative ideas... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| DAMN... last week i brought up the idea of split personality as a possibility of why it could be the female cop (page 2 if your wondering) but was hoping that this wasn't the case and that it would be concluded in a better outcome. Although the show has disappointed me from an eye catching opening episode i wouldn't say it's necessarily bad, it's a shame there wan't any more interaction or an arc dedicated to Kotoura and her mother as it would be more entertaining than the current arc.Although i suppose that would be something for latter on in the series if there's ever a season 2. |
| Striking from nowhere. Killing with accuracy. This is who I am. |
| Just thinking about it, shouldn't Manabe's arm be broken from trying to block a hit like that with a baton? But yeah the episode was okay. Kotoura's constant depression is really beginning to get annoying. In the beginning I felt sorry for her, now it's like its becoming redundant. The cop being the attacker wasn't surprising, and neither was her having a split personality. However, I do think they could have done a better job with her arrest. I mean, the woman DOES have a psychological disorder that will potentially get others hurt. Her other, more dominant personality might try to take over again, and then where would you be? She obviously has the inclination to hurt or even possibly kill others. They need to arrest her and get her some help! Not take her on a date?! What is wrong with the police in this town? |
Irenesharda said: Just thinking about it, shouldn't Manabe's arm be broken from trying to block a hit like that with a baton? I think he was in Bankai considering he teleported in front of her, so it makes sense..... right? I did keep telling everyone that this show is incredibly simple and stupid right? I did? Oh good, because it is. |
| Yeah, this series started out great. It's really fizzling bad now. |
| I think I'm one of the few people that still loves this Anime very much regardless of today's episode compared to some dropping or rating it below 5 it because of an obvious episode. Everyone has a right to hate a series because of a episode but it was coming. |
| The last few episodes have been pretty badly written... maybe we can forget about them with the finale... |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Didn't like this episode that much, the resolution to this arc was rushed and badly written. Oh well one episode left. |
| So that detective has 2 personality that's why kotoura can't read her criminal mind Boring episode |
 |
| And that's the end of 1 cour anime for me. Except for comedies. I'll still watch those. Rest is shit. |
| This Criminal Arc wasn't really needed for this anime or at least for an anime with only 12 episodes to spare. IMO they should have focused on more conflicts between the students and Kotoura or the relationship between Kotoura, Manabe, Moritani and the relationship between Mifune and Muroto. I still really enjoy it! Hopefully they get a season 2 or more episodes to spare. |
~ El Psy Congroo~  |
| God, that was painful to watch. Ludicrous is the only way to describe it, well at least Moritani got rejected and I laughed for a bit. |
| Is it weird i'm forgetting the reason why i liked this show.. |
 |
| Sooooo, how did Manabe get to Kotora so damn fast? Obvious culprit is obvious. |
 |
| Not my favorite episode either...but the love confession and the interaction between Muroto and Mifune were nice. 3/5. So...is it Last Boss time? |
| wow I think it was obvious that it was the detective but I wanted to know and I got it. I don't really care about the who on things like this, I care more for the why. ANyways, I didn't like the whole Moritani confession scene and Manabe saying sorry for her for what he did when she did something a hundred times worse. Did the detective not get arrested? I also don't like that if it's the case. This whole tihng is all about forgiveness..... even blue haired girl and her avenge to her mother Don't like it. Revenge is sweet. And with those observation, feels like Kotoura will forgive her mother. Fuck that. Dropping to a 7/10 from an 8. |
 |
| It reminded me of two shows at once, Nekomonogatari ("the stress made me do it") and Persona 4 ("suddenly, Shadow Detective appeared!"). |
Iasuru said: Dropping to a 7/10 from an 8. I'll give you a cookie if you reconsider. :P Think of the great, exciting first half as well as the OP, EDs. But yeah, might be dropping mine from 9 to 8 as well. Show reminds me so much of Haruhi and how it could have been great. |
| I know its a different anime but I hate to say this Manabe>Kodaka That confession scene was well handle xD Rito-san(To LOVE-Ru), what happen to you !!! |

| Meh. Obvious criminal was obvious just from the hairstyle that was shown lol. Average show so far from its great start it fell. Criminal goes down as easily as throwing a rock from a cliff. |
 |
MorningGlory said: Manabe>Kodaka Lies. People here sound so disappointed with this episode, and complain how downhill Kotoura-san has fallen. I disagree, Kotoura-san hasn't fallen at all, it was always this shit, you guys just didn't notice. |
MorningGlory said: I know its a different anime but I hate to say this Manabe>Kodaka That confession scene was well handle xD Rito-san(To LOVE-Ru), what happen to you !!! Exactly! though Kodaka just run off while Manabe answered. This episode was kinda boring. its obvious that the female detective is the criminal anyway looking forward to the last episode i hope its a good one. |
 |
| fuck yall kodaka is badass. fuck all them girls (cept for rika) kodaka is his own man. |

| And i was expecting some twists and turns :/ The rejection scene was sad.. overall enjoyable ep. |
| Did a bot write this rejection scene? The rest of ths episode was just retarded. But I had to laugh when I saw the cops being as late as usual, even high school teenagers are faster than them. |
| this episode.. it was too fast.. So this means, she have two personalities. It reminds me of another anime series just like this.. the other one is good while the other is bad.. |
| First Amnesia and now Kotoura-san ? What's this, a new trend in anime, bring out a new antagonist with a split personality disorder ? Well, Lucy and Sensui are the champions when it comes to split personalities, so Ukyo ( Amnesia) and the female police officer / detective stand no chance. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| Cliché... kinda disappointed. But gotta give credit to Tsukino-san's seiyuu amazing performance. |
| Tsukino's split personality was scary D: Also I really wish Kotoura would stop blaming herself for everything :( |

Except Neko Black is fucking awesome and the portrayal of how and why Hanekawa was so stressed was done beautifully and vividly.

 |
| Obviously the culprit was the Tsukino-san and I kind of guessed that it had something to do with split personality. The episode was alright but it wasn't surprising and I just thought her giving up was a bit too easily done. Nevertheless, it seems like next time, we'll see some decent stuff as shown in the preview. Looking forward to the final episode!!! |
  |
| This episode was...unfortunate. I really liked where this episode was going...but then that ending. Yukino gets off with nothing? She attacked all those students and all she gets is a "well, you're alright since you know what you did is wrong." Not only is Yukino not fired, but she's not even arrested? That's BS. I don't care if it was a split personality that was doing it. Even people that do things like this that have split personalities are either imprisoned or institutionalized. It's really a shame. I thought this was a pretty decent series, but I can't get over the fact that Yukino wasn't punished. At least the ESP club end of it was okay... |

|
| Nothing much to discuss here lol, let's hope the final eps will be somewhat good.. |
| Keep moving forward |

| My opinion on this episode: Oh, man. F U B A R |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Obvious as hell plot twist and lame as hell split personality disorder. Also Manabe just coming in and saving the day, getting in front of them without either of 'em noticing, without knowing the address, all of it screamed Deus ex Machina. This show has fell so low. |
 |
| Next week they will have to do something pretty extraordinary to redeem this anime. At this point my score has gone down as well. |
