This show looked really interesting at first, but I still don't understand anything that's going on at all. The characters keep doing random things without any explanation for anything, and it's driving me crazy.

Ohsugi annoyed me, but I felt a bit bad for him... Though not as bad as I felt for Saki, probably. She seems to have gotten the [very] short end of the stick in love (well, for the most part, or up until now) and in work. :\ But meh. I wouldn't work for a jerky boss/manager/whatever who treats job applicants that way anyway. And with such catty, gossipy colleagues. Partially good she didn't get the job then.

So Akira's former self wasn't a bad dude... He didn't kill the NEETs. Maybe he shipped them to Dubai just to get them out of Japan and shove the problem on another country? XD Although as another pointed out, it seems as if they recovered to some extent... Or some of them at least.

Wow, the beginning was gold. I expected that woman to scream or something as soon as she saw the guy (whom, after seeing the phone lying there, I immediately suspected of being a Selecao who had been visited by the Supporter xP), but when she took the phone and said "Looks like I did it again"...well, let's just say my face looked like this: O___o

Wth made Akira think of "gyafun"? xD (Reminds me of Katanagatari btw, ahhaha)

I felt bad for that Ohsugi guy...He obviously likes Saki.
And yay, Akira kissed her! :) Something tells me that she's not gonna cry over Royusuke too much.

Ahhhh nooo D: Don't tell me that the mantis girl saw Ohsugi...

How can you guys say this was a weak episode??

1: We found out what happened to all the NEETS
2: We got TWO extra 'saviors' introduced
3: Further development of the other guy that likes Saki
4: KISS SCENE (All anime guys could learn something from Akira in this move, lol )
5: Akira understands his power and will now start using it!?

3: Got introduced to TWO new 'saviors'

All in all, this is one of the better plot developments yet (I just want to know what's up with Johnny?? And how'd they all get into the damn electronics? Or was that just a dream-thing in ep 4?) Kwaaaa!

WTH! i'm surprised no one has mentioned how Saki blew off that poor guy. You try to be a good friend and try to get her attention with a dinner. What does she do? She gets on a bike, pardon me a moped! with a guy who seems much "cooler". Oh but when Sakura from Naruto does it, everyone goes apeshit. Gotdamn i really hate people like that. Serves her right for getting a bowl beef thrown on her, bitch. Excuse my language.

Overall, decent episode. I feel for my johnny. Love the new lady, maybe theres more to her than meets the eye.

What an incredible show! Now we have a lethal beauty as part of the selecao with a nasty hobby and we get a small look at how rotten Japan's society have become.

And they're back together! Somehow Akira found his resolve thanks to the conversation he had with Saki (and something more!). I can't help but think Akira will not be using that money to save the country in the true sense of the word. I'm more inclined to something like "rebirth from ashes" type of action.

There's something about these characters that make me feel comfortable when they're together, there's so much chemistry! I can only give props to the producers for achieving this.

i thought it was great, just like every other episode untill now..
i might end up giving this show a 10 (or 9)..
the chemistry between those 2 is just awesome, i can't help but cheer for them :) i really hope akira is able to do something "good".. i believe in him, it's never too late to change! =)

Feel bad that Ohsugi might be dead soon. But he's annoying.
That beef soup is way too much. Poor Saki. Is this how interview is like?

lol prime minister saying 'uncle' is hilarious?
is he really saying 'uncle'? XD

It's revealed Akira didnt really kill the NEETs. Who is this Johnny he keeps mentioning about?

amazing stuff :D

i like how he unwillingly "request" the prime minister to say uncle in front of the press XD

i feel sorry for saki, being rejected with the job offer as well as being thrown by curry dish right after being rejected.

that fucking asshole manager.

the Ohsugi guy got blown off O___O

and yeah i was surprised as to why Saki loves her sister's husband. then again she did say it hurts to see his kindness towards her.

and yeah Akira with a bold move, then again he was just comforting her :)

all in all amazing episode as always, we get to learn two saviors(Number 1 and 4) as well as the refugee guys not being killed, but was sent to dubai.

though i wonder how the other refugee knew akira erased his own memories??

can't wait for more :)

Wow it only costed 60 yen to make the president say "uncle"? What a deal. I'm hoping that more of the puzzle's unveiled as the show goes on, although I'm still not understanding where this whole "NEET" fiasco fits in.

Man, poor Ohsugi. I gotta feel for the guy. Right in front of his face, the girl he's in love with drives off with another guy. I really hope his character isn't condemned to death. That would really be adding insult to injury. He tries his best with Saki, but she just blows him off like he's some annoying 5 year old. Sad stuff.

Oh no. Osugi's gonna... I don't know what's gonna happen to him but if it involves blue haired lady, its gonna be bad. :( Poor him. I felt bad for him when he saw Akira and Saki together :/ I'd feel bad if the same happened to me.

Uncle! LOL 60 yen :P

The kiss scene was unexpected but cute. Doesn't really do much since they're not lovers or dating tho. :/

...What does a Johnny mean? LOL I don't get it at all. :P

5/5 psh. I loved the entire thing. The pacing is so good.

LOL not only that, but the prime minister's approval rate went up by 10%! XD

Poor Saki at her interview...that man was such an ass. Seriously? Just because you are the employer or the interviewer doesn't give you the right to be rude. Strict is okay, but then having someone "accidentally" drop a bowl of noodles on Saki? =_= Yes it was Saki's fault for missing the prospective interview, but still.

It's funny how a few people complained that Saki liking Akira was way too rushed, because it was pretty clear that she already had someone she liked when she talked about the movie she wanted to watch and then we saw that poster in her house. Anyways, someone said it already, but I love how smooth Akira was when he kissed Saki and then just went on talking about how he'll take care of everything XD

Oh yeah, that blue hair lady is weird...her voice is weird too. o_O No don't do anything to Ohsugi!

This show is great, one can be easily addicted to it in no time.

So he didn't killed them after all? Those 20000 NEETs? Did he just moved them to India and made it appear as the were dead? Or is there something else to this?

I like this love triangle, it's pretty obvious Oosugi stands no chance for Saki. And it seems he is next on that woman target list - she will get him her body and kill him afterwards. Well, some real shit is going to happen so.

Edit: Hmm, and now that I am thinking of it - could it be that Akira wiped out Saki's memory too? He was pointing his gun on her at the beginning of the story - I still think something is odd here..

A kiss, yay (even though it was pretty unexpected there). I hope the romance will become real later :3

Poor Saki, the blue-haired woman should just chop those guys' dicks off.

Poor Ohsugi I guess :/ I feel bad for him and his unrequited love, but if he really have been chasing Saki for long (I'm pretty sure), then he really should have already given up. He is kind of annoying... (Though I still hope the blue-haired woman won't do harm to him :S )

That kiss was so sudden...

So now we know that he ''kidnapped'' those 20000 NEETs to get them to work. That seem suddenly more reasonable :P

That military man is probably the Defender, or that what the creator want us to believe.

I don't understand why that psycho girl haven't been killed. I mean, they are supposed to use the phone for the good of the nation, no? How is torturing man good for the nation?

Poor guy that get thrown away each time, he really never get a break xD
It look like he'll be the next target of that lewd girl.

No clue what that guy was talking about, but that guy said "but at least I was able to return to society because of it", which makes me think that he was one of the NEETs he recruited earlier.

This blue haired woman is a strange one.

Wow so she likes her sister's husband.

Now that's a kiss.

He got stood up by Saki so he took out his junior instead, awkward ;)

Uh-oh the crazy one is approaching Ohsugi.

He shipped 20,000 NEETs overseas to work? LMAO! Well that's two birds in one stone I guess: that's 20,000 NEETs out of the country at the same time, 20,000 potential overseas workers.

So he kissed her. Just like that. That was so spectacularly smooth I couldn't help but grin :D

She loves her bro-in-law :s Must hurt seeing him everyday. I don't feel sorry for Oosugi at all. I kind of think he's annoying to be honest. There's a fine line between determined and pushy. He's a couple of steps inside the pushy territory to be honest.
