I kinda feel bad for the guy, cause the girl he liked is pretty much none existent now. And it doesn't make it better the new version seems like she's a complete bitch. He should have never converted her and fucked her when he got the chance.

That was a little confusing. So the personality until now was a fake and her real one was shown at the end?

That was fairly confusing, but I'd like to see where they go with it.

My thoughts exactly. But let's see how bitch-version Anna will work out in the future.

And I thought the OP and ED about Anna was a drawing mistake since her hair was brown. So the Anna we knew was a fake.

WOW, this was surprisingly good actually.

With 4 episodes left they will probably switch the focus to other characters but I would definitely be gladly surprised if they would focus on these two.

Anna and Ichikawa interaction is really growing to be be the only redeeming factor I find in this series. :)

The Anna we know of is a fake and no more, eh? Well that was different somehow...

I liked it. Confusing enough but it still made sense in the end. Really didn't expect her to have a split personality - really came out of nowhere.

Anna episode was great! Anna was so cute when she was young in the following,

unfortunately her true nature was that of a laughing maniac that enjoyed in treating her brother in the spoiler
as a slave laughing manically over its derived pleasures. In fact Anna's brother is nothing but a chicken person that got easily intimidated by a cool looking Ichikawa in the spoiler
Ichikawa was really cool looking compared to his normal looks in the series so far. IMO Anna was so surprised by all this uncovering from Ichikawa that the whole battery thing is possibly her deriving a pleasure that gave her a internal orgasm. The battery could easily depict a overcharge and spilling out and that could have a sexual meaning as much as just a simple show of being too much for Anna at once, thus overspill. Perhaps it made me sad about that but Anna crying pitiful. This is due to Anna's total isolation in thinking the pictures she took of delinquents are actually a gang part of her brother and that she sent letters to herself at the request the brother does that for her. Rather totally psychologically out of the blue revealing.

Despite Anna looking all nice in the beginning, her room features a liking to Udo Eikichi whom I wonder who he is apart from being a possible gangster singer. The cat plushy was kind of a cute gangster motorbike depiction but that bird kind of thing was reminding of Darkman the movie. Since he used in that movie that same thing to blow up people. I loved seeing in the beginning Ichikawa x Anna interaction until I got totally blown away by Anna's boldness with that condom. Anna looked damn good in the spoiler
I liked the hair style that depicted her in that part. Unfortunately that became soon desperation at one point as Anna convinces herself that she may have done something with her brother and Ichikawa should be happy he got a feel of Anna through her ramming into him. So in the end she changed into the following,

which really is not something I like as her new appearance except for the way she looked here. That looked really nice.

  • Komugi smelling the dirty hair of Makiko in the spoiler

    was totally gross man! That is yuck!

  • Nanako not washing her teeth for a while in the spoiler
    was also gross not only in the depiction but I am even horrified at what it might smell like.

  • Miwako's garbage assignment in the spoiler
    was a total gross shit and I certainly did want to think about but close my eyes at. I would so leave this class due to this.
Good psychological episode about personality change upon revealing reality to that person.

Completely unrelated, but Hishiyasu greets Anna at the start of the episode with slang I've never heard before. Apparently means hello. Sounds a lot like "ちーす” or "ピース” . Something like that. I heard others use it too. Does anyone know what this is? I'm itching to know.

The way these two interact seem unnatural.
It's hard to explain, but the conversations always take a weird turn.
They never say what you'd expect.

Well that was unexpected! I kinda liked the whole naive biker girl thing. I thought her brother would be an Onizuka kind of fellow

The "identity becoming lost in a desired new personality" rang more true than most other things they address, wish they covered it more deeply. The brother-as-as-slave and letters-sent-to-self was slightly too much for a few minutes story.

After all these eps, I can't say I really like this show. It had a good idea, but the realization... it could've been much, much better. Still, I'll finish it now that I've gotten this far.

As for this particular episode, I must say I like Anna more than I liked her before watching the ep. And I can't say I didn't like her before, either.

And yes, it was pretty confusing overall.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

Aww man...now shes not a redhead anymore?! sonuva...well talk about problems. She has them in spades compared to the simple perversions of the group. I hope that guy with the fake glasses can bang her, crazy chicks rock the casbah ( in the sack).

This anime should have "psychological" as genre in the tags.
