| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm so glad that Mariko didn't succesfully commit suicide :(. I wish there were some update on Rei and Fukiko! It seems like Rei stopped coming to school. Also, yay for Kaoru! A voice of REASON. |
| I really am starting to think Mariko is my favorite character. Even when she was "dark and scary" Mariko earlier on, I just can't stop being enthralled with her character. I'm glad they are taking some time to focus on her. But for some reason they only seem to focus on one thing at a time, which does leave you curious as to what the hell is going on with everyone else? |
| Aya is in the building for sure!! I thought she was transferred to another school or something coz she was absent in the last 20 ep or something. Poor Mariko, I felt sorry for her... however thanks to Nanako , she was saved by the bell :-) I really hope in the end she learns how to love Miya's brother. |
| God damn what an absolutely fantastic episode. This series has been very strong recently and, yeah, I could say Mariko is becoming my favorite character in the show. Never thought I'd say that at the beginning of the series. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Mariko said that a man leaving his family for a new lover wouldn't even make a good TV drama. Is that a joke about how this series started that exact plot-line but then just dropped it? Sakiko Tamagawa did a great job performing the wordless gasps Mariko lets out as she runs from the revolving restaurant. It was a really effective way to show her disturbed emotional state. Given the amount of suicide attempts in this show, I'd think it would start losing its impact, but it's carrying it well. |
| I wanted to reach into my pc screen and strangle Misaki -___- Thank God I have never encountered anyone like her in my life, else I'll be in jail now. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Wow, this was a really great episode. Mariko cutting Misaki was the greatest scene so far in this anime and she deserved it too. |

"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Dear lord, I hated Mariko so much, but I felt bad for her this episode. Family falling apart is always hard even if the child already knows long before the divorce comes, but having it thrown in your face by a bully in public is so awful. That Misaki deserved more than just a cut to her arm >_> I'm glad that guy stopped her from suicide; a strong character like her can definitely come out better from this kind of adversity. |
| That f*cking Misaki bitch deserved to be cut. I actually cheered out loud when the screen went blank with the sound of the box cutter. This episode was definitely hard to watch. Divorce is painful to deal with at any age. Having some dumb bitch like Misaki exposing that to the entire class would cause anyone to snap. If I were Mariko, I would have cut more than just Misaki's arm. Misaki's eyeballs could be stabbed for all I care. F*ck that bitch. |
 |
| http://a.pomf.se/palape.webm This scene was so satisfying. And the later one when she cut her. A shame it was just her arm. Getting her face cut and having a scar for life is what she actually deserved for everything she's done. Wonder if she'll disappear from face of the Earth again after this episode. Fantastic episode, great development for Mariko. Cynderella said: But for some reason they only seem to focus on one thing at a time, which does leave you curious as to what the hell is going on with everyone else? I like it that way, feels like faster progression for each plot line, instead of dealing with them all at the same time. Also makes the episode more memorable and complete this way. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| This anime is golden. Seriously, absolutely hilarious. |
 |
| Jesus parts of this were chilling to me. And where are all the teachers during the scenes in between classes!? Good thing the brother was there, I wonder where the plot will go since Mariko's probably going to get kicked out of the soroity and possibly expelled from the school and Nanako wants to resign. |
| Holy shit the drama doesn't stop in this series. Fuck you Misaki, fuck you forever. Also the animation was awesome when she was writing around the floor lol. |
| One thing I don't understand. If her parents divorce, she must leave the school? As I understand now her father pay for education, and after divorcing, Mariko should live with him to continue educathion there. |
| Probably the best episode so far. Mariko is such a complex character, you just cannot feel indifferent about her. Sometimes she acts crazy and slightly annoying, but I still like her, her behaviour is pretty believable when you know her backstory and personality. Also, this ep had really good animation and music, that scene with black screen and only sound of Mariko pulling out paper knife in the background... Stunning. I felt like I was watching some thriller, brr. Loved it! |
  |
 For whatever the reason, the animation for this whole episode wasn't just improved, but consistently fluid. What the heck happened? But yeah, uh, that was a, dare I say, top tier episode. Mariko snapped like a twig. Aya overstepped her boundaries, particularly with the worst person she could have bullied. I loved the use of the box cutter's retracting sound. It was previously established what it sounded like so that when we heard it again, we didn't even need to see it to know what was coming. Though, even with the show's track record of harming its characters, I didn't expect the show to spill blood in the middle of the classroom like that. If I had to criticize the episode, which I'd need to else I'd fear going full fanboy mode, I'm not sure about bringing Aya back just to serve as the bully once more. Or, to be specific, to be a stock character serving as a tool to break Mariko, if just to be tossed aside again once her use is fulfilled. I must admit it's satisfying to an extent, but I'm then reminded not only that these are supposed to be high school kids, but there have been school murders that used utility knives, and the one linked was Japanese no less. It really takes me back to reality and makes this all the more tragic. The episode just gives me so many mixed feelings. Make no mistake, this was a fantastic episode, and it's amazing that the anime could create such a situation with no correct answers, but I...I just don' t know. At the very least, Oniisama e... is doing something extremely right if it's getting to me this much. |
| Seriously, the little sound motifs this show uses are really fantastic. The box cutter sound in this episode, and the sound of Rei crunching her pills are just... YES. I love you, Osamu Dezaki. |
| Mariko stays calm while Aya continues to talk trash. *black screen* *click* *click* *click* *click* *return to Aya* Aya talks more trash. *black screen* *click* *click* *click* *click* *Aya gasps* "IT'S GO TIME!" Excellent direction and excellent use of sound. First the footsteps outside the room that Nanako was locked in inside the Sorority house. Now it's the clicks of the box cutter. This episode gets a 10/10. Mariko is the most dynamic character in the anime, and will most likely be my favorite in the end. Her acting in this episode was flawless. When she's happy, I like her. When she's miserable, I still like her. And when she snaps, oh yeah! Now this is how you drama! Aww man this show is the best. It may be dramatic. It may be upsetting, but Goddamn is it entertaining! |
 |
| It's not a coincidence that the best episode so far was focused on Mariko. That's all I'm going to say. |
| Mariko proved herself to be BEST GIRL once again. That bitch deserved being cut |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| I just don´t get why cool and crazy Mariko isn´t more popular, unlike boring and bland Rei |
| :v |
| who give a shit about a little cut. it isn't like she cant use her hands after that. what an overreacting girl. mariko should have stabbed her throat so that her bullier wouldn't be able to beridicule nor shittalk about her family situation anymore. |
 |
| That was so amazing. I'm touched. |
| Hold on... I thought that annoying twat Misaki was hospitalised for brain damage, kinda wish Kaoru didn't stop Mariko there but still satisfying to see Mariko cut her at the end. Great episode from what in my opinion is about the best character in this series, the divorce is a step in the right direction to get rid of that scummy dad |
 |
| that ugly ass mf got what she fucking deserved! amazing episode. |
| what a bitch that Misaki, that was barely a cut btw i still feel like the friendship between Tomoko and Mariko is a bit forced, they should've dedicated an episode for that |
| okay this was the best episodes so far totally breath taking and hard to watch i totally love mariko and feel her that orange bitch went TOO far really feel sorry for mariko she got it hard |
 |
| this episode was so hard to watch, but mariko's character development is like no other. i love her character so much, and am happy that she has friends by her side who will support her and help her through whatever she may be going through... and that ending!!! so happy she was saved! |
| Another episode another suicide attempt. But for real, Mariko is currently my favorite character. Her storyline is enthralling. I also like that Nanako isn't too hesitant about how to act anymore. In earlier episodes she would've concerned herself too much over what to do to deal with the worries of others. Now she's comfortable just being there for Mariko, nice character growth. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The animation was so fluid it was a given something big was going to happen and it did, the sound of the box cutter was terrifying. What an amazing thriller this episode was. |
| From depression, to stabbing to suicide, Mariko is my favorite character again <3 |
 |
| beautiful episode. one of the best directed and animated episodes of any series i've ever seen. striking and devastating in all the best ways |
| Wow this is heavy. The cutter sound playing when Mariko's alone makes me anxious hoping she won't die thank goodness for Tomoko and Nanako and also Takashi for arriving in time. As for that Misaki biatch she deserves it that's what she gets for being insensitive and pushing Mariko's limits. Mariko might seem psycho in the early episodes but she had redeemed herself now. And the irony that Mariko's parents divorcing due to another woman is the same as Nanako's but the difference is it's Nanako's mother who is the other woman. |
| Mariko just fucks shit up, and I'm all the way here for it! LMFAO! |
| Damn you, Misaki! You're the worst! I don't blame Mariko for a second. If I had a utility knife on me, and someone set me over the edge like that, I'd likely react the same way. Thank goodness that Takashi was there to stop Mariko from killing herself. |
 |
| And here I hoped that Misaki gained some character development off-screen... I don't get it, why Sorority membership means so little when it comes to Mariko and Nanako. I understand the jealousy in Misaki's case, but for the rest of them, shouldn't they at least outwardly express a respectful attitude, otherwise, what's even the point? |
| Yep, Mariko is 100% borderline. 9/9 traits so far, even self - harm and suicidal tendencies. |
| I hate everyone equally |
