I'm writing this as I keep watching:

AKIRA, REALLY. STOP TREATING KEISUKE LIKE SHIT; THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. And then at the rooftop Solid dinner... hey that's more like it.

THEN, HEY SHIKI! THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD EPISO-
But Rin had to fuck it all up like that by trying to act all cute with Akira.

And then Shiki. And more Shiki. JESUS FUCK, SHIKI. SHIKI. HNNNNG. HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG.

Man, the pacing is slow. The animation/art looks slightly better (by ~5%).

Yeah, I didn't like it. "YES MY LORD", it doesn't sound..right.

I liked this episode. I was expecting Rin to show up while Shiki was strangling Akira, but now I'm glad he didn't.
Akira, get stronger so you can have better fights with Shiki.

Yeaaaah the pace is reeaaally slow. And Akira's design is driving me crazy! I think in general that if I hadn't played the game, I'd dislike Akira's character. He's just so....eh. And his hair is so....y'know. And what's with Rin hitting on Akira the whole ep? Seriously, Motomi must feel like such a third wheel.

Shiki scene made this episode. Without it, we'd only have fluff, and...Togainu just isn't Togainu with just fluff. xD

Spoilers for game etc:

Keisuke looks like a loss puppy when Akira is not around; I am starting to not like Akira acting like a total jerk all the time.

The reason why that guy is slaughtering people would be much appreciated, and his outfit would be more flattering on a nice bodied woman.

That outfit looks good on him and you know it ..

And why he is slaughtering random people the answer is because he can ..

Hmm I'm sure most of you forgot all about the hot guy who appeared in the first episode talking before the OP..

What about him im getting vibes that he's the II-re ..

Episode 4 in a nutshell: Rin jumps Akira; Shiki jumps Akira. Much better animation this round (frames, there are more frames! lol) and the art's more consistent and the characters actually look decent. As for developments, Akira enters Rin's route for half the episode, I didn't know Yuuchi Nakamura was also in this o.o. Not much development, seemed a bit like a 'before shit hits the fan' moment at the rooftop. Things look more heated up in the preview.

Next week: Takeru returns, Rin in serious mode, Akira in trouble (when is he not anyway? >.>)

Best episode so far for me, even though there wasn't much focus on Gunji (I replayed his song at the beginning a couple times though! xD)
I like Rin, so I enjoy the focus he got for the first half. The scene on the rooftop with the food was especially nice, but I found Rin basically jumping Akira pretty entertaining as well.

Shiki's scene went well- I like the interaction he's getting with Akira. I was surprised to not see Akira gasping for breath after that- but it's anime~
AND FINALLY THE ANIMATION IS STARTING TO LOOK GOOD AND NOT AS CHOPPY.
I'm still waiting for them to make the whole show look like it did at parts (namely how Akira and Shiki were animated in the second half) though.

It's kind of annoying the way Keisuke just follows around Akira like a dog. He doesn't show any concern for himself it's just about Akira all the time. On another note I loved Shiki and Akira's little fight... they so want each other B)

lol but I wonder who the Il Re is...

Kyaaaa, Rin and Akira! I thought I was going to die, I wish Shiki didn't interrupted it (not that I don't like Shiki but it's just that it ruiened the moment XD)

Shiki, little badass o.O I love his weapon (a katana right?) and his outfit. It was so cool when Akira kicked him, he didn't saw that coming ^^ Hope Akira will beat him one day or at least don't get pwned ^^

Who were those guys at the begin when Akira was with Rin? And Rin is official gay since one of them said; "oh I see you've got yourself a new boyfriend here already" or something like that? Teeheee :D

Can't wait till next week ^^

Same here. That is the only time he actually makes a difference in the show.

Best episode so far for sure. The action was perfect and no censor *jumps*
Rin surely is fast with his movements.
Shiki is so damn sexy and the fight with Akira was epic. His scenes are orgasm worthy.
Less of Gunzi though and will we ever be able to see his eye.

I agree its the best episode so far, at least the animation got way better than when it first came out. The fight scene was great but the blood was still a little wee bit too bright.
And yes Keisuke should seriously try to look less like a lost puppy. He's has that wimpy poor puppy face all the time. Not that I'm against it, he's cute in that way but he can't expect to have great survival rates.

I have to love the combination Shiki/crimson moon.There has been nothing more badass in this anime so far!Because even if the animation is mediocre, Shiki's adaptation isn't bad at all. On the other hand the executioners' pair is awfully drawn. They took two amazing characters and with that hideous animation they are ruining them.I really really hope they improve their design because Gunzi is way better than that!
Akira's and Shiki's fight scene was without a doubt the best part of this episode. But, dear animator guys, please change the color of the blood.It has to be darker. Because it certainly doesn't look "togainu".

Oh hey, animation got better. That's cool, that's cool... Now I don't want to scrim when I watch this anime! That's good, that's good...

I was kind of surprised though regarding Rin's character. I usually hate characters like him in BL because LOLGIRLYUKEFACEISN'TMANLYENOUGH. I actually really, really like him though. Plus, he's voiced by fucking FukuJun.

Anyway, I haven't read the manga or played the game yet but does anyone mind telling me why Shiki's normally the fan favorite? It can't be just because he wears leather and has a big motherfucking sword, can it? 'Cause then why isn't Kau more popular? He may not have a sword but dammit, he's got dat ass and the poor boy can't see or speak either. Just imagine the things that could probably be done to him!
... Never mind, they probably have already happened to him ;_;
Great, now I'm all depressed over what might have happened to a fictional character from some Japanese cartoon.

Shiki's fans develop Stockholm syndrome.

Kau is in bondage; he's the polar opposite. The poor guy is broken and enjoys his enslavement. Boring.
