Everyone just likes to make amazing entrances in this anime huh? First, Tsukumo, then Yogi, and now Iva haha.

It was a good episode for more information on Gareki, tragic as expected. That ending was pretty creepy and hopefully it'll play out well next episode! I'm still trying to get used to Nai, he's been better than the first 2 episodes, but something about his personality still doesn't sit well with me. Yogi's been outstanding in terms of comedic relief and even when he gets a little serious. There seems to be a whole slew of supporting casts though, and it'll be interesting to meet them all.

Gareki must have nerves of steel, both Nai and Yogi are incredibly annoying. There are still many interesting characters though, and I'm curious about the next ep too.
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.

i feel like the pace is too fast but this is probably because i read the manga before. iva and the twins barely had an introduction.
oh well as long as people like it i'm happy, and i shouldnt make manga-anime comparisons, that would not be fair. the anime is doing a good enough job so far^^

one big lol at gareki being the babysitter for yogi and nai!! :'D

Seems like I'm not the only one who ships Yogi and Gareki. Yay :3

The episode was very good plotwise but the pacing was a bit off. They should have used more time on introducing the twins. What has happened to them is indeed tragic but I can't care for them if they are not introduced properly...

Things are definitely happening too fast. But I still manage to enjoy it because I've read the manga.

I really hope that what they're going for here isn't that the brother was the sister's lover, but the sister's lover brainwashed them to commit the same kind of crimes he did. Otherwise, that would be a bit creepy...

Nice episode. The second half was serious and thrilling. His sis is strong and beautiful. Gareki looked cute when that *rabbit* clung to his shoulder.

Needs to be said: the direction is AWFUL. I kept shouting in my head "this could've been done like this or that" and "what the hell is up with the pacing?!", and so on. The manga is darn flawed too (but still enjoyable), but the direction in this adaptation is really ruining the overall experience for me.

I like the anime so far
I like gareki the most he's Iinteresting enough and not as annoying as nai.
Nia can get away with the 'clueless cutie' thing most of the time but I think the combonation of him and yogi is a bit too much for me.
Its a good thing there are as many low energy charactors as there is or else I would have dropped it.
Okay thats nor true I love Love LOVE mysteries even if some of the stuff in here is waay predictiable

The twins story felt so rushed in this episode. Sigh, why do they want to cover everything up till volume 6 in 12-13 episodes? They could have just stopped at volume 3 or something. Sure, it may not have a great ending but it's better than rushing everything like this. Things would have made much more sense. :/ Am I the only one who feels this way?

This is a really rushed not good adaption, but can't say I am surprised considering they only have 13 episodes to work with.

Although they seem to get the bonding scenes between the characters right and that is my favorite part of the manga so I guess I should be thankful for that. At this point I am mainly watching for Kamiya Hiroshi as Gareki and Miyano Mamoru are Yogi (both are perfect).

On another note I wish people would stop saying Nai is the MC. He's one of the main characters, but if anyone is the POV character it is Gareki. He's the "normal" one in the story and its his world that is changing the most.

I really like the characters in this series.
Also, the comedy, although not always frequent, is really good.

Nice episode, I'm liking this "plot", it doesn't feel that serious though.
The comedy is pretty good though and I'm looking forward to more.

The OP has some interesting characters that are yet to be seen.
In this episode, we see the sexy Iva and her kicks.

Gareki has skills winning those prizes, especially the leather belt.
Gareki x Yogi!!

Poor Gareki, being sold by his parents and then bullied. But that's how he became who he is right now.

Tsubaki was killed by some random man. Tsubame and Yotaka are killing people because of drugs. What will happen next?
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

The scene when Yogi wants to embrace Gareki. That's a cute Yoreki moment. Yogi is so adorable and funny.

And Gareki is so cool, he easily got that leather bracelet in one shot.

Poor Gareki...he's surrounded by two annoying idiots haha.

That was interesting!

Iva was really funny, I liked her.

Looking around Nai's house and Karoku seems like an interesting character indeed.

Did that girl kidnap him? o_O

The twins and the murders and the one blacking out and wow! that's a lot of intriguing plot right there. I did wonder if it was really her or her brother, I was gonna say I bet it wasn't the mystery boyfriend who killed their sister lol.

It was cute when Nai wanted to go with Gareki, awww! and funny when he saw him as a rabbit again lol.

I love the eye colours in this anime, so interesting and different and not to mention pretty *_________________*

Yogi wanting to hug Gareki! awww. In the dub he nearly said what Ari did in Entourage lol. I think he was meant to lol.

Gareki's experience from his childhood must have been rough on him. It's a good thing he was saved by Tsubaki, who appears to have been a very nice person. Shame she died so soon, rip. The ep wasn't so bad, but it felt like the pace had slowed down, probably to incorporate Gareki's past, and this current dilemma that they've found themselves in.

Highlight: Iva's entrance
Ep Score: 3/5
