| i dont think juiz did anything, unless someone asked hertoo, but than again, it be against the rules to have her involved, as she is only a mediator (for now atleast) |
     |
| So why did the Police guy spend his last Yen even though he knew what would happen? Apart from that, good episode. Although I do think that the Cities seem quite empty and crowdless. Kinda hurts the atmosphere. |
| wow they make a lot of movie references in this anime story is quite complex but I like, really like it more please! |

| And the plot gets more and more interesting by the episode! I'm loving all these movie references, I'm a huge movie buff (more than I am with Anime), it's my greatest passion, so I get most of the references! Anyway, looking forward more development! |
 |
| I feel bad for her, she keeps getting rejected! :( |
 |
| that kondo guy died so soon. So, these NEETS are murdered by Akira himself? probably not. |
| Dawn of the Dead reference! Automatic win! |
| man the amount of information in one episode is just wow O___O plus Akira having all these money and place?!?!?! damn oh man lucky bastard :P though it was heartless of him leaving Saki but it was understandable due to Kozuda being a douchebag. still him dying so suddenly, and how the hell did he's wife received the message??? it's either he carelessly send it or someone forwarded to her. amazing stuff, i freaking love anime's like this :D |
Well, a little more information about the phones. Also cop killed by his wife lol, didn't see that coming.  |
|
| Is it bad that I was glad when that guy died? LOL 5/5 like usual. This anime is 100% worth my time. :) The dog is adorbs okayyy :D |
| Great episode, was quite nice but the ending and murder of the detective was a bit un expecting, and the cause of his death is rather well funny... Either way we learn a bit more about those phones and about his past, lets see what's next! |
 |
| Dyin like a bawss mode activated . |
 |
| I'm liking this more and more. Akira is really an interesting character. How come he remembers movies but not anything else? Not only that, but he's got a real good sense of his surroundings, or at least when he noticed Kondo snooping around. Then when Kondo was beating the crap out of Akira (I wanted to go and punch that asshole for doing that), Akira sneakily took Kondo's police badge o_O Way to go! He's definitely not a normal person, he seems pretty dangerous as Kondo said...which is ironic considering how laid back and positive Akira has been so far. I also didn't expect Kondo to die :/ Btw, that doggy was just too adorable XD |
| The only question I have is what's with 2 people lying there on the ground in the middle of the street and nobody cares? xD |
| Mine theory is that those rocket was sent to eliminate other players or supporter. Or to end this game. But the question is - how do they get their money? Is Akira supporter after all? Or did he somehow managed to steal the phone or money from one? And I am very curious how this whole system works - couse Luiz actions are super fast. |
| Very interesting, I like it so far. |
 |
| The dog made me completely defenceless xD Nice 'house', too. His memories are slowly returning. I wonder if he'll remember everything himself or will they make him remember it some other way. So many movies whoa. |
 |
| Lol, he died fast :D Though there is still 10 people left (apart from Akira) who can cause shit. Cute doggie :D |
 |
| Mmm, I'm pretty sure he's the one that send those missile. He probably asked Juiz that no one get killed. Maybe he was targetting the other player? That detective was such a wreck. That photo with the bunch of people in that mall is disturbing. It looked like a concentration camp. Where they doing experiment? Or did he thought that one of them was a player? Is he even really responsible for what happened? I'm not sure if we can trust the detective word. He had no reason to lie, but it doesn't mean that he knew the truth. |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
For starters, it does get better after each and every episode. And I think the plot is developing at the right speed, just right. Thus, I liked this one as well ♡ |
 |
| I'm really enjoying, but I want to know more about the game. |
| The plot thickens. What does he have againts NEETs lol. I didn't know Kamurocho from the Yakuza series was modeled after Kabukicho :O! That end scene's definitely set at the same plaza that was also in the game. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| And the detective dies. He gets stabbed. Who stabbed him? Was that his wife or mistress? The show is still very interesting. Another good episode. |
| Dang, this is starting to get really intense 5/5 loving it so far |
 |
| I have goosebumps over that ending. This is unbelievably intense. Christopher Sabat's work as Kondou was amazing too. Argh, wow. |

| Hmmm, It kinda reminds me Mirai Nikki |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Picked this up again after half a year. I think what they are doing has something to do with improving the country. Well they are called saviors and he apparently killed 20000 NEETs. |

RavenWish said: Someone care to explain where he get the key at the very start of the episode? lol have u watched the first episode of this anime. btw this game mobile .kinda remind me of mirai nikki xd |

robbydesu said: I really liked how despite the lack of memory he has, Akira is so calm and poised. It felt like he just had this sense of quick intuition...he easily adjusts to his environemnt and absorbs all of the information he learns <3 Gotta agree with that, I guess even though he lost his memory its still a part of him. Similar to Jason Bourne (as he already referenced once) |
 |
| The opening of this anime is awesome. I began watching expecting it to be a full on romance/comedy (I only knew the two maincharacters), but in the end everything turns out more epic than I thought. |

| Love how this series keeps getting better. |
| lolx2 this plot is nice :D and he is bad guy O.o I was thinking before that he was behind these missiles, but gathering and illing people? That is extreme! At first I didn't like that he lost his phone so easily and left Saki to watch movie alone, but later it turned out even better. If there are 10 more of them I wonder if he will meet them all as there are only 11 episodes. Strange protagonist, a bad guy but he is shown in a way that I like him O.o |

| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| I'm sensing this phone thing is kind of like Liar's Game. |
| Interesting episode with a lot of information |
| Things are heating up. Didn't expect Kondo to die so soon and I somehow don't believe that he really made a mistake for sending to the wrong person, that has probably something to do with (of course) Juiz. Interesting, so there also seem to be Selecao's which hadn't inteded to be one. I wonder if we already saw a few of them. And with one being dead now, maybe the place of IV is going to be replaced by someone else, *pointing at Saki*. But that is just mere speculation. |

| OMFG, the dog is so cute. *hugs* |
| Im starting to connect the pieces now. But dam reminds me a lot of Mirai Nikki. |
| So all this is a game? |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| rip. He didn't last long |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| There is a dark undertone to this series that really grabs me...I always love a show or movie with some darkness to it. And the soundtrack really helps accentuate that. Loved the dog...and I'm not even a dog person. I felt bad that Saki thought Akira was purposely avoiding spending time with her. I'm so curious what Akira's true connection with the NEET disappearance and Careless Monday are. |

| While the first episode intrigued me, I feel less and less interested by what's going on. I'll still watch it till the end due to how short it is but I barely feel invested. I don't know why, it's the kind of plot that generally appeals to me and everyone seems to have loved this ep but somehow I just don't see what makes it so great. It's not at all bad but it's nothing amazing either. The plot is very hard to understand, too many questions raised, I would've accepted it if it was longer but here I don't see how they can answer everything (I know there are two movies but a show should be able to stand on its own). I think that what annoys me the most is the two main characters, surprisingly since they seem to be so loved. But Saki's reactions just don't make sense, she doesn't question anything, she has the right to be a bit naïve but here it's just too much, I still don't understand how did she go from throwing something in the White House's fountain for a wish to finding herself in a theater to casually watch a movie while a guy without memories does the projection. There are so many suspicious elements since the beginning, how can she not realise that ? And Akira is no better. I've seen people comparing him to L, and I noticed the similarities too (especially last ep since he was actually dressed like him), but he is pretty much what L could be if he didn't have a brain. Akira's asking way too little questions, in the very first episode he learned that he was related to terrorism, and it looks like he barely cares now, and that's just an exemple. It looks like there is nothing below this nonchalant personality. The only part I have no issue with in this ep is... The dog. Because he is super cute. Oh and the opening too because it's great. But I'd like for the show to put more care in its character. And I feel so dumb, everyone is praising it and love this episode, am I questioning things too much or in opposition, am I not questioning enough ? I don't get it. |
