| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A pretty nice episode, and a weird twist at the end where Triela may have been involved in Mario's mafia stuff with child trafficking. |
 Damnit! Don't die without my permission! |
| I guess that they are going to cycle through the backgrounds of all the girls. |
 |
| Most powerful episode yet. The fight scene wasn't all that good though. |
| the fight wasn't the best ever but the story behind the episode more than made up for it :) |
 |
| I liked this episode. Not much fighting, but Triela's background was pretty deep. |
| <i>When all else is lost, the future still remains</i> |
| This episode really tugged at my heart. The relationship between the girls and their mentors are becoming more complex, which makes it more interesting. Even though I found the subject matter revoluting at first, there has not been an episode in this anime where I have not been deeply moved and I'm staying with it to see how it all pans out. |
 |
| Decent episode, not too great though. I guess i'll watch this as an anime on the side |
 |
| Beautifully executed episode, probably the best one so far. Also, Triela is a completely different character from what I envisioned her from her character designs and what I had seen of her up to this point. That's a good thing by the way. |

| This anime is amazing. It's a perfect combination of action and drama, with some comedy elements. This is what Angel Beats! should've been. |
 |
| Henrietta doesn't have a uterus!? Harsh. That's not kawaii at all. Very good Triela episode. |

If you were a little girl and you had been assaulted for a whole night(not to mention the dead bodies of your family around you),your uterus would have been taken out as well,i think.I am not very fluent in biology so i could be wrong too but you get my point.What's more,Henrietta is plenty kawai even without uterus,she(as a cyborg) would never need it anyway. |

 Any theories about his shock on that last scene? Sounds like a "OMG, I'm your father D:" to me... |
| Yeah, this episode was just as great the second time. That english dub, especially for the girls, is terrible. I'm switching back to Japanese. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I think the english dub is fine. I've heard worse. Anyway, great episode. And guys, this is not an ACTION anime. There is action yes, but there's more to it than that. |

I haven't heard the English dub, but if you want bad dub, watch Love Hina. And I liked this episode. It was a deeper episode than the ones prior. |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| The ending was so cute. |
 |
| An alright episode, had higher hopes for this anime, but its not bad =P. |

| the english dub is great. Don't see any problems with it. funimation always has good dubs. |
| wow, the guy seemed a bit shocked when she mentioned Amsterdam D: surely not her father?! another great episode, watching this anime as a drama and not really expecting much action is so much better.. the relationships between the girls and their mentors are much more complex, and if the girls past are going on Triela's then its a very dark anime indeed, really liking it so far, the past two episodes have been quite heartbreaking! |

No, not her father. Just a lamb trafficker. It's fascinating. Even though the girls have been brainwashed and had their memories erased, they're still free to inquire about their pasts and appear to get straight answers about it. They're not shocked by these revelations. They don't have doubts like in the Bourne movies. They just deal with the information matter-of-factly, as though it happened to some other person. Which, I suppose, it did. Also the fact that they still have their own distinct personalities. They're not robots. They follow their orders to the letter, but they still seem to have free will outside of those parameters. |
| Somewhere, there is an unplugged toaster sitting on a Coleman stove. Does it feel lonely? |
| This was a quite lovely episode actually, the pace was slightly better as well so let's see what's next! |
 |
| Henrietta doesn't have a uterus the fuq |
| A pretty good episode, I really liked that Triela is now being treated better. And is Mario her father? He said that he would send a gift to his daughter for christmas, and he did send a gift to Triela..... so? |
| They removed Henrietta's uterus. Rico was bleeding from the mouth and acted like it's not a big deal. Damn it T____T The mafia goons didn't even stand a chance against Triela and she wasn't even at 100%. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Henrietta and Triela have good "brothers", can't say the same for Rico... |
 |
| Triela is best girl. Just saying. |
 |
| This anime is so slow. |
 |
| Every character thus far has been explored in really subtle ways from mentor to girl very well other than Jean. Really solid first 4 episodes, I'm really excited to continue this. |
| Much better episode this time around. A bit of hope at the end of hte story was much appreciated. The other episodes have been so morose! |
 |
on 
| A charming episode. I don't quite understand why Triela let him go though... |
| While the dilemma regarding Triela is interesting (and I believe she's better off now, as opposed to where she came from), the conclusion was unsatisfying. An episode not being satisfying would be perfectly in line with what this show is about, given the disturbing premise, but this time it tried to frame things as heartwarming, even though nothing actually heartwarming happened. I don't like that Herscher didn't have to change anything about his conduct. The girl thinks she doesn't even have anyone to ask for help regarding her periods, but now she just lets Herscher off the hook for everything, because apparently she should be content with teddy bears. Jean, Rico is not a malfunctioning TV set that you can fix by slapping it. Go sit in the corner. And fuck yourself lmao Nonyflah said: They just deal with the information matter-of-factly, as though it happened to some other person. Which, I suppose, it did. That's a good point. Part of what makes them feel so alien is their casual detachment. Not to say they're not human, of course. |

| i was unexpectedly caught off guard when i saw rico's mouth bleeding, something she took so plainly as "my brother disciplined me today" made me surprised and sad. it's super interesting how she's so emotionally detached from the incident, or anything at all really. this was the first episode where i almost could not stop myself from watching. lord, i was about this close to convincing myself to just throw caution to the wind and keep on procrastinating by finishing the episode. for once though, i did stop it midway and unfortunately because i did, the episode wasn't as riveting since my attention was gone by the time i came back. so.. like nobody helped triela on her period? that shit ain't anything to joke about |

| I really like this episode and it seems that Triela was involved in that Mafia trafficking incident. I thought there will be something bad that will happen to Triela but she got hurt and I wonder what happened to her gunshots? Like, it didn't show if they are treated. Henrietta is so cute |

| Haha period xD She can tell that to Mario but not to Hirscher, maybe be hinting something Judging from Mario's reaction, his daughter might be Triela? Seems like every girls are getting their own "introduction" It's pretty nice, good to know their natures before the real story starts |
"Signature removed"   |
| Nice episode on Triella and her relation with her mentor getting better, certainly miles better than Rico and her mentor or should I say abuser (really got me fuming seeing Rico beat up). |
 |
| Pretty interesting episode though I think I enjoyed the last a bit more. Still not sure how to feel about this show so far but I think I've been enjoying it. The first two episodes were really boring at least to me but I'm interested again |
