| poor Iwai, and i didnt expect that kiss scene... And is that a season 2 i see? i kinda hope so. |
| I just marathoned episodes 6 to 13 and there were moments that I wanted to give this series a 7/10 or lower but the last couple of episodes were great. I ended up really enjoying it and I want to know what the whole deal is with Witchy, who I think is cute btw. That random kiss, I sort of saw that coming with her talk with Kiri. Also the fact that the secret group is called "Gossip", I wonder if that's why Grayland is known to be the most "brutal" like the whispers and imagination of Gossip created that "Most Brutal Murder Dream" in Kiri's head but I don't think that's the case. Since the dream comes about when something really traumatic happens to you and in this case when Kiri thought he was going to die and not be able to protect Iwai. I would like to see a 2nd season to see the story develop and I wonder how much of the manga was adapted (I'm going to find out about it in a bit). My score for this series is a solid 8/10. Edit: I skimmed through the manga just now and it looks like the anime was very faithful to the manga and that the anime adapted up to chapter 24 of the manga from the looks of it, the scanlations are only up to chapter 23 currently though. |
Lykros said: Tyrel said: The show had my interest until we got full out loli-fanservice. 4/10. Could of been at least a 6.5 from me. Oh who cares that it had a "loli" scene, what matters is the story. I can't wait for the next season. What Story? If anything the story got obliterated, and most people can agree with that from what I've read on other forums, etc. Also symv words take it out of my mouth. symbv said: Stark700 said: I would be surprised because sales are not good. In fact fans in Japan are saying they seem to cramp the whole 2nd season in a couple of minutes so that they don't have to do a 2nd season LOLTsundere said: I wouldn't be surprised if this show gets a season 2.Yea was that like...season 2 in the preview?? Doesn't seem like the show is over lol. |

| Very nice ending and witch got a very nice butt |

flyon14 said: This show wasted potentiel, though it wasn't bad overall. I won't be begging for a 2nd season but I would watch it if it comes out. 6/10… Maybe 7/10 because of the great BGM. Thanks to Mr. Takanashi Wow, I think our feelings on the series are completely the same. There was a lot of wasted potential with this series, but I'll agree that overall, it wasn't bad. It wasn't good, but far from being terrible. I too would watch a 2nd season if there is one, but I'm not exactly begging for it. The OSTs were fantastic, one of the few bright spots for the series. |
| *shrugs* I happend to loved this show and look forward to a S2 of it. Ah well. 8 out of 10 over all from me >> If you don't like it then I'll cut your throat with crime edge >> |
| Hm... I really liked this episode, but it was a very bad way to end a season. I have the feeling that the good parts of the story will start now. If there really is a second season on the way, I will definetely watch it. I am kinda interested in Violet now. Why would she like Kiri? That kiss came out of nowhere. It looks like Emily and Iwai will be great siblings from now on. Their father would be proud. |
| Season 2? I hope so |
 |
| Worse thing of this anime is perhaps the pacing. In some episode, it felt like they have to stretch a story longer just to make it end at a cliffhanger scene. Kiri going berserk could've been made faster. The groaning scene is 2-3 times longer than it should be. WingsOfValor said: IINM...I am kinda interested in Violet now. Why would she like Kiri? That kiss came out of nowhere. BTW, surely Gossip can't afford killing Iwai now, not before she gave birth to the next queen (assuming Iwai's mother is the previous queen). They'll lost their joy in life. But Kiri is not direct descendant of Greyland… although the original still made no attempt on hinting Iwai's relatives who might gave birth to the next queen. |

| Well that's over. Not gonna watch the 2nd season. This was too much for me. |
| So with a second season being undetermined, they just revealed everything that happens in it; in the span of of a minute or two at the end? If that's the case, the "Professor" Kanae Sumeragi wasn't kidding when he said he liked little girls...definitely a pedo that I hope Kiri kills, or at least sever his head: doesn't matter which one, big or small. |
| oh my god. plz more of that blonde. 6/10 would watch s2 |
    |
| Good show. 8-9/10. At least the male character in this series has a pair, unlike some of the protagonists in other shows this season. Gets at least 7/10 in my book for simply having a pair. That's how much male protagonists have degraded in this current anime generation. A second season would be nice. Can't see any reason why they'd end with "Your journey has just begun" if they were planning to scrap the rest of the story. We could...idk... maybe replace one of the multiple, pointlessly generic harem anime every season with this? I'm perfectly OK with Violet taking Kiri's first kiss. Iwai is all cutesy and stuff, but have a severe aversion of girls who go out of their way to help people, act all goody-two-shoe and treats everyone nicely and the same. Needless to say, if she was actually serious about her relationship with Kiri, then she should probably take that first step and treat him better how she treats everyone else. Nobody waits for you to make your move. The earlybird gets the worm, and gratz to Violet for doing so. Now if she'd only turn yandere for Kiri.... |
| Have to say, enjoyed this show, liked the main protagonist's personality and badass a lot. Lol those teasers, seems like some disturbing stuff, would def watch season 2! Also, didn't expect the beast to suddenly grab some ass. |
| Well, I hope there is a second season but the sales were bad, just because they showed some scenes doesn't mean that there will be a sequel, see Kamisama Dolls for example, however, I will wait for the translations and start reading manga. 7/10 |
|
| 4/5 I had no doubt, the authors they've got in this episode, enriching fanservice. Maybe you also exaggerates a little. Kiri-kun at the end remains satisfied in the end! XD Ending really nice. I do not know but a second season would see only as long as the plot becomes more intriguing, only annoys fanservice in the long run. Stake cute comedy thanks to Emily and Iwai. |

AP24 said: I just saw the BD/DVD sales for the first volume and the BD sold 346 in the first week and DVD not ranked (assumed to be a lot less than BD). From this we can expect the possibility of a second season is very low. But as I explained in my previous post, we might get a second season if we're lucky due to some factors. It's actually fine with me if we don't get another season since this is adapted from manga which we can still get to see clear images of all the scenes in the story unlike in light novels. Your reasons aren't good ones though. The only reason they do sequels is if the BD/DVD sold well and/or the source material got a boost from the anime and/or merchandise sales are very high. The source material ending is even worse because they have no reason to do a sequel, as the anime already served its purpose of advertising the manga. This is what fans in Japan thought of that "2nd season preview" at the end: symbv said: Stark700 said: I would be surprised because sales are not good.

| Pretty good ending with the unexpected, saucy kiss. This ep sums up my thoughts on the series quite nicely. I found the first episode to be a very magical start, I was instantly hooked on the myserious Hair Queen and the killers that hunted her. Loved seeing everyone's Killing Goods in action and how they pitted against each other. Byouinzaka and Emily were among my favourite characters. I thought the slow period began with Pet Whip and through the fancy dress party. The show started to get strangely lewd which lowered my interests in watching it. I love Crime Edge when it focused more on the killing games and less of naked Iwai. I applaud it for tackling controverial issues like Emily the child assassin and showing Greyland's bloody past. It can get quite explicit at times and then it switches to the bathing scene in this episode. It's a mixed direction which I found it offputting and distracting. OP and ED were both fantastic. Aimi's song always got me hyped to watch it and the watercolour ED was beautiful to listen to and watch. 6/10. Apart from some unwelcomed moments of nudity, I enjoyed the dark tone of the show overall. |
ainky said: @symbv Ejc I dunno, many times I saw bad sales getting a sequel, sometimes it seems that there is no logic. Well there is always a good explanation why anime with bad sales end up getting a sequel. As I said before, did the source material get a big boost from the anime? Was the merchandise sales very good? We know Crime Edge suffered with low BD/DVD sales so that other reason doesn't apply here. The thing i'm getting at is to not hold your breath for a sequel because the chances are extremely low unless it was planned to be a "split 2-cour" anime. That is one good reason why low sellers still get sequels. AP24 said: It's even worse if the manga is far from over. Judging from how the anime is selling, it has a better chance of getting another season if only one more season is left to finish the series cause if at least two more seasons are needed then they wouldn't bother make more of an anime that is not doing very well. I mentioned that in my reply to @ainky. This is only if it was planned as a split 2-cour anime in the first place. AP24 said: Also as I said before if the teaser at the end is like the one at the end of Saki anime's first season then it's possible that it's a sign that Crime Edge will eventually get another season. I don't think that teaser is the whole 2nd season cramped so that they don't have to make it. I think the reason for showing that is for two things; one is to make us feel reading the manga so that we know what happens next and the other is to let us know that it's possible the anime will get another season someday. The thing is, Saki sold multitudes higher than Crime Edge did. This could have been one off thing where the anime staff just crammed that in to try and get people to buy the anime to try and support getting a 2nd season or to further advertise the manga. Whether this plea worked or not, we have to see. |

ainky said: The problem is, it is not bad sales we are talking about, but catastrophically horrendous sales. I can imagine addition push in the form of another expensive TV season be granted if the BD+DVD sales is 2-3k, definitely not good but not disastrously bad either. But here we are talking about 0.3k of sales here. Do we know any midnight anime gets a second season with that kind of sales? @symbv Ejc I dunno, many times I saw bad sales getting a sequel, sometimes it seems that there is no logic. Some people may want to quote anime like Phi Brain but those anime are not midnight anime which puts particular emphasis on disc sales. Phi Brain is an evening anime that is commissioned entirely by a public broadcaster NHK so disc sale is never much of their aim. As long as NHK deems the anime worthy, it can continue to finance a 2nd season, 3rd season without paying any attention to the disc sales. Midnight anime works on very different business model. Perhaps some of the cases where you think there is no logic actually has some logic if you have better idea of how business is run for the anime/manga/LN/merchandise/game industry in Japan. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| 0.3k?! It's indeed terrible. Well, I am glad that Phi did not have to depend on the sales, I like this show. |
|
| 3/5 6.5/10 |
ainky said: One way that an anime may still happen for Crime Edge is a switch to an OAD model, which is bundling an OVA with a new volume of manga. This involves much less cost and existing fans of the manga may be more willing to shell out 2-3k Yen extra to grab the OVA. That said, this OAD model is more suitable for short story, and the arcs in Crime Edge needs 2-4 episodes to finish, and fans may not like the idea of having to wait for months for the conclusion of an arc in OVA.0.3k?! It's indeed terrible. Well, I am glad that Phi did not have to depend on the sales, I like this show. |

| More Witchie less Iwai and maybe this could be even "good". Anyway. 6/10, mediocre. |
 |
Sadmir said: There is no way a show like this will ever get a second season. Even with all the fanservice that was forced in they still didn't manage to sell. "Even with"? I would say that its forced nature is a contributing factor to why this show isn't that great. And, you know, the excessive amount of it -- but one thing at a time. |
| Can't wait for season 2!!!!!!!! Love this series + OST. |
| 5/10 for me. This show tried to combine too many genres and atmospheres and the only way to describe it is awkward. Also, too much fanservice and the fetishes were just plain creepy, it would've been better if they just stuck to the main characters hair obsession quirk. |
   |
| In what I've seen in the end, I speculate that there will a second season. Anyway, it's a good series. 8/10 |
  |
| the whole show wasn't really bad. it was... interesting because it was rather unique, but i couldn't really get into it. during the whole last episode i was waiting for the final kiss between kiri and iwai. and then this witch stole his first kiss. i was so angry, ngl. and in the end there was still no kiss between these two main characters >_< i actually enjoyed the moments between them more than the fighting scenes, so i'm disappointed that there was no progress at the end. (okay, iwai said they're probably together, but that doesn't satisfy me.) 5/10 |
| This show would have been a lot better if we didn't have a 10 year old girl as the heroine, I mean seriously it was creepy with all the molesting and licking of her.This started off good with all the fighting but got worse after each episode. The kiss with the blond witch is the only thing I liked in this episode. 5/10 overall |
| Well I personally didn't like this series that much, but it wasn't anything too bad. One thing's for sure, the comedy never got me. . . It was a little lame. |
 |
| Is there a second season? Or baseless frames there... Meh. It was fine. |
| This ep is fully SHIT. Haw they could do such final? Nice romance was killed by boobs and harem... Hate making team. |
| Mehh, should of just skipped this series & played Injustice even more ^^ |
| I wanted to love this show but it was up and down for me. Some episodes were among from favorite episodes of everything shown this spring, others I had to force myself through. The fetishes, the killing, the romance, the music, the show had a lot going for it. Sadly we won't see the rest of it, will have to decide if I want to buy the manga to see what happens or if I will forget about it... |
| The series was alright at most. That kiss from witchie was good though lol. Dont know about season 2 cause if anyone remembers Binbougami did the same thing too. |
| Well... even if the anime isn't selling well, that teaser at the end made me need to know how it ends so I ordered all the manga... If they put the first ED 硝子の三日月 on CD sometime I will have to buy it. Anyone heard what was on the CD with BD1? |
| "Of course. It's been too long since I cut your hair." I liked how all their enemies so far had met different fates - some died (hammer guy & Rulebook), some gave up (Pet Whip), some became friends (Injection) and now Emily (Opener) has really become Iwai's adopted little sister. After all that talk about manufacturing murderers and making them bear children to produce Authors, for a moment there I thought Violet was gonna rape him in the hospital. Well, stealing first kisses can sometimes do some psychological damage as well... That final haircut scene between lovers made me remember the one in FMP: TSR. Overall, not bad. It had its flaws (mostly with overkill censorship and dragged out fights), but it was still enjoyable. I'll just leave this here: at this part we're only at Volume 4, and there are at least 7 volumes out now for the manga. |
