| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It appears that one of the requirements for being chosen was to have the capability to be a murderous psychopath. It also looks as if Saki's friend won't be missing her much longer, although it is likely that he will end up "missing" something else in a way that is much more painful than just having a broken heart. |
| Overall a great episode. Though one particular man in this episode seems to have the dwnside of things. |
 |
| Definitely not something you can watch raw and the subs are now out! Well, episode was good. We got a sneak peek at #1, as well as some crazed psychopathic murdering bitch. I didn't catch a glimpse as to what her number was, perhaps it was there and I missed it. Other than that, we really got to see just to what extent and power Juiz has, such as changing the PM's speech into a single word. A ridiculous word, at that. Another big thing this episode is the revelation that Akira didn't kill the NEETs, but instead sent them to Dubai for whatever reason. Apparently, this has rehabilitated them to some extent. Saving Japan by changing NEETs into useful members of society, I wonder? Meanwhile, we have Saki off at her interview who I can't help but feel bad for. Though she brought in on herself, it is a bit of a shame considering her apparent luck with interviews. Spilling the gyuudon on her was far from necessary as well, I can kind of relate to Saki, but not that extent. It's also become glaringly apparent(as if it wasn't last week) that the object of her affection is Ryousuke. This of course however, brings us to Ohsugi, a man with no semblance of luck. As much as I admittedly liked the scene between Akira and Saki on the boardwalk, I feel terrible for that guy. It also looks like he's going to be picked up by aforementioned psychopathic lady killer after a night of binge drinking while on a 'date' with one of his male kouhai. Ohohoho, he's got standards. |

| Hope I'm not the only one who thinks that business-Saki looks rather cute. More or less an interesting episode, got a look at two other Selacio and some very small clues about the missile attacks. The interaction between Saki and Akira was very nice, and hopefully next week we'll finally see how she is going to tie into all of this. Oh, and that dude is totally screwed. ;D |
| Another great episode! The humorous touches at the beginning after getting explanation in the previous episode were nice, and I loved the boardwalk scene. I may love Akira and Saki together, but I still feel bad for poor Ohsugi! :( Yet again dying for next week to come! So many mysteries left to us still, and I'm really curious as to what impact Saki will have on Akira when the big climax of the series comes. |
 |
| Business attire Saki is pretty cute. I do feel bad for that Ohsugi guy that is probably gonna end up dead. Although, Akira is just so smooth/fluent with how he deals with Saki. He just swoops in, lays a kiss on her, and just busts out with his speech. I am also glad Akira didn't kill the NEETs. If anyone else has noticed in the ending theme, Akira does like a "bang" gesture with his hand targetting missiles. Maybe he'll use his power to shoot down the missiles? Possibly number 1 is responsible for those missiles? All assumptions on my part, because I don't read manga. |
| Poor Ohsugi is going to lose his manhood and a bit more D: Interesting episode anyways, i loved the kiss scene, the way Akira and Saki interact is great. The fact that Akira didn't kill the NEET's was interesting, maybe we'll find out a little more that and Akira former self in the next episode. |
| Ehh, this was just an ok episode. We saw a new Selecao and got info on what happened to the NEETs, but really, nothing terribly interesting. Saki's interview was way too stretched out. Unless something was really poignant that I missed, it could have been done in half the time with the same effect. |
| Kiss scene was random and meh. Rest of episode was good without being great. Its good to see they are introducing new Selecao people. I wonder why the newly introduced female Selecao slut, says "I wonder what #1 is going to do now that #9 is back", is #1 the supporter? It'll be sad if Ohsugi shares the same fate as that guy at the start of the episode =8 and even worse if he is used as some sort of henchmen to take Takizawa down just to get revenge on Saki >>. |

| Just keeps getting better and better. I love how each episode is like putting in a piece of the puzzle, and I cant wait to see the finished product. |
  |
| Ep was alright. I wonder if Ohsugi is gonna die. |
 |
| damn cliffhangers |
| Thooough, nothing much happened, it was still enjoyable. I can't help feeling bad for Ohsugi, who seems to be pretty down on his luck, I really wonder what will happen to him next week. |
 |
| Wtf ranked #55. Yeah, I feel sorry for Ohsugi too. >: Pretty good episode. |
| Good episode, wonder what Akira's plan is now. Looks like those NEETs weren't really killed but got sent off and now lead a somewhat better life? Who knows. Sucks for Ohsugi though, that won't end well. |

| Interesting episode. The exNEET was kinda funny. Oh and the guys at that company... damn jerks. |
| ok episode. More Seleciao introduced and hikikomori stuff cleared. Nothing exceptionally interesting, though. |
 |
| This series is just brilliant, i have loved every moment of it so far. This episode was slower but it introduced us to some of the new chosen ones and obviously now the guy who likes saki is going to have some bigger involvement. I guess i don't have too much to say about this episode, just can't wait to see more! also i gotta give credit to the attention in detail in this series. Everything in the environments and such is so detailed and it looks great. The animation is amazing and some of the small things they do is impressive. |

| nice episode xD anyways this series has a good ranking o_o didnt exactly expected it |

| The episode was kind slow pace. Anyway decent episode, also damn these cliffhangers! |
 |
| Ohsugi is dead. But it won't be quick or painless. Slow paced episode but it gave a nice foundation for things to come as well as some additional info about other Selecaos and the missile attacks. I wonder who will they wrap up things. |
| This ep was sugoi. I want to see more. I want to see more series like this, now. Suggestions? |
| So, what was this episode's movie reference cause i couldn't find any hint of it in this episode. |

 |
| Marvelous episode. The kiss on the boardwalk was a welcome surprise. I feel sorry for Ohsugi, but I could tell from episode 2 he wasn't the one Saki had any feelings for. Hopefully Psycho-betch wont kill him. |
 |
| BEEFBOWL wat an asshole |
     |
| it was interesting wonder if the one in suit asked about saki when he saw the historial to make akira suffer this shows just keeps me expecting something great , its awsome |

| y'know, the more i watch this, the more i wish i'd have waited for the whole thing to come out so i could've marathoned it. |
| I felt really sorry for Ohsugi. Not only did he see Saki ride off with Akira, but he's most definitely going to die. Poor guy. |
| Am I the only one who thinks he'll be saved or something...? I doubt they'd kill him off so soon. |
| A decent episode...slow paced but still good. Stupid beef bowl >.< |
 |
| they are liking bowls this days... (k-on) anyway a slow episode, thought there would be more impact on this first kiss... but nice cliffhanger though |
     |
| Bit of a slow paced episode compared to the rest, but still really nice. As mentioned above I really like the cliffhanger at the end especially after seeing what kinda stuff that blue haired chick is into. |
| two more of the numbers revealed: one seems to work at a military base, and the other a woman who looses control of herself and kills people (apparently). any else think the guy with the meetbuns might have been one of those neets? the "make the prime minister say uncle" was pretty funny being taken literal, and some how the guys approval rating went up 10%, now if life was that easy... |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Saki said she "loved Ryouski so much" - who is that again? He's not on the character list and I can't remember. Good episode I guess, but the kiss could have been better. I wish it hadn't happened at all if it was going to be that anticlimactic. |

| Isn't Ryosuke the guy at the bakery, her sister's husband? That's who I always thought it was but I didn't care much, because Saki x Akira = ftw. I loved their kiss, even though it wasn't in stereotypical shoujo form. That blue haired lady is crazy. |
 |
| omg, i hope that guy won't die!! >< can't wait for the next episode and why there is no preview! snif snif |
| This episode was kinda slow, and nothing really happened. But we got some character development for Saki (cute in that suit btw) and some hints on what Akira is planning, so it was still interesting. Saki crying was pretty touching too. If Ohsugi dies I don't think many will care about it. His character hasn't been developed enough for his death to matter. |
| Suprisingly, I really liked this episode. I love seeing how Saki and Akira's relationship changes and grows. And I am deeply curious about why he sent the NEETs to Dubai. The kiss! It was awesome! I don't care if he did it just to make her feel better, it was still wicked! This series is by far one of the better ones out right now. Maybe the best, for me. |

| Great episode, as seems usual for this series. There wasn't quite as much info this time, but we got some character development for Saki, as well as new Selecao (and confirmation that Akira didn't kill the NEETs). I also really loved the boardwalk scene, though not so much for the kiss (which felt like cold comfort to me -- though that too is appropriate) as for Akira's expressions -- sort of dispassionate, detached from what Saki was saying. There have been few times in anime where, just watching a character's face, I wanted so much to know what was going on inside his head. He obviously has formulated a plan, but what? This is probably the first series I've watched that immediately makes me want to go back through the episode once I'm done to study scenes in further detail. Also interesting to me that the name "Selecao" is out among the government, as evidenced by the TV clip Akira watched. I wonder if the place the Selecao with the ring was at was the same base where the missiles came from ... |
