1) The baby was sooo cute! <3

2) Only Nezumi can look that badass falling down a human trash chute.

3) B/c of the lighting on my laptop, it took me Forever to realize that that pile consisted of corpses, not trash bags.

4) I was surprised when Sion was naming all the angles of each camera. I thought he didn't even know they'd be going until, literally, the last second, when they were already in the truck? When could he've learned all that?

5) Dang, Nezumi's slacking. I mean, zoning out, letting Sion lead the way, of all people, and getting his ass handed to him. Geez, what're you doin, boy??

6) Oh, hey, it's Safu. ...Meh. I thought Sion liked her, but then I thought he liked Nezumi, but now it's obvious he likes Safu, so...how's this gonna work...?

7) Um...Yeah, Sion shooting that guy in the end just left me speechless; the last 5 minutes or so did. I was just sitting there with a funny look on my face, waving my arms around, unable to produce any coherent sounds.

When I Could speak, my 1st words were:

"What the fuck?!" ^_^

1. Yeah. :)
2. Very true. ^_^
3. Yeah, I had to turn mine up too. :o
4. Two things were going on there. One was that Shion DID know where they were going, he just didn't know how they were going to get there. It was Shion's job to memorise the layout of the entire place, remember. The second thing is the voice of "Safu" guiding him. That's probably also why he found that hidden ladder and knew to use the passcard to access it.
5. Nezumi was having his heart broken over and over throughout the whole episode. I cut him a lot of slack for that, especially considering how he was taking out all of the soldiers until he got shot. There were a lot of guys in there!
6. Shion *loves* both of them, but only one of them is in a romantic way. Guess who? (Hint: He told that person that there was no one else in the world he'd fear losing more, including his mother.)
7. I had a bad feeling something like that was coming. It was being set up for the whole series, really. It broke my heart when it finally did.

To be honest, it's kinda depressing to see all these Shion/Safu supporting comments. But oh well, what are you gonna do.

I loved this episode, the pile of bodies was scary as hell, loved the bits with Rikiga and Inukashi..
When that man shot Nezumi, and Shion went kinda insane for a minute (because well, how dare someone hurt his Nezumi?! x'D)
And Nezumi broke down because he didn't want Shion to change and whatnot.. I thought Shion would stop after Nezumi cried out his name, but no o_o;

One more episode!! TT.TT

Great ep. As expected from the previous ep's preview.

The baby teatfeeding from a dog. I don't even. Reminded of Romulus and Remus though.

And at last, we got some Nezumi action. :D

Shions turns a killer. That was surprising. Unto the last ep.

Shion's finally showing some change in his character, this is perhaps the most interesting scene to now. And yeah - he finally has some reason to get liked by me. Let's see how the things will turn out in the end, just one episode... not sure it will be enough to end it well.

Omg this episode had me literally shaking!!D""x
When they shot Nezumi I almost broke down! And then he started crying and I couldn't breathe for a minute!!
Shion's crazy really took me aback too!! Shit...I'm not ready for the last episode at all!!;_____;

All the things too; Granny's sewing needle, the body pile, the BLOOD EEEEVERYWHERE, just insane!! Realistic crazy brilliance!!
Why only 11 episodes, WHY?!?!?(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

This isn't the first time Shion over-reacted when Nezumi was in danger.

Poor Nezumi though. :(

This episode...everything was just perfect, oh my gosh.
I expected Sion to do that, go into that haze and kill the captain subconsciously, but seeing Nezumi torn like that, it broke my heart <3. When I saw Nezumi clenching his arm, soaked by the sprinklers, I prepared myself for the flashback >_<!
Dogkeeper with the baby was so friggin adorable ;D!

GAH LAST EPISODE NUUU. Why only 11?! Such an odd number to stop at, I wish there would have been more. I honestly hope Sion doesn't get "interested" in Safu e_e
One last kiss between Sion and Nezumi would be nice for the ending of the series...but eh, whatever happens happens -shrugs-

Next episode, away~!

Oh wow really nice buildup to the next and final episode and to be honest Shion really was quite impressive this episode (not as wimpy) and I'm not sure but Safu didn't felt like Safu so what's up with that? Let's find out in the next and final episode of this series!

This isn't going to end well, but what's with the change in Shion? Is he being taken over too?

Wonderful episode!! I never expected this. Only thing that was missing imo was that when all those people were dumped up on all those dead bodies, a lot of them should've been screaming in despair, or crying, or at least moaning in pain from the drop. But they were the only people moving. Sion said he heard people that were alive so that means the creators at least recognized that more people had to have survived. Although I get why they didn't, because there'd be too much despair. Walking on a pile of dead bodies, and that one female body that tumbled down made this episode already magnificent enough, showing the true horror caused by no. 6, perfectly conveying the despair of the situation while maintaining the feeling of the entire anime. But the scene would be greater imo if the other people were screaming for their lives. But that's probably just me, I love despair.

Nezumi crying looked so sad. D: kinda thought they were gonna pull a kissing scene again after Sion bandaged him up cause their faces were so close. lol

That ending too... Safu looked evil/unlike herself. o____o I never really cared for her from the start (actually I found her annoying more than anything) so I don't really care if she makes it or not but she better not come between Nezumi and Sion!! Dx

Omg wow so much action and the animation is great! So now Safu is manipulating and changing Shion unconsciously through Elyurias's power...now I see what Nezumi said about not wanting him to change. Hopefully Nezumi can save him ;_;

Awhhh x3 the look on Nezumi's face every time Shion hears Safu call for her ;A; it's okay, bb! You'll always be #1 <3 Safu isn't waifu material at all, hahhah :P

Shion reminds me of Kaneki in this ep X)

Climbing a mountain of corpses is very gruesome. It transformed Shion that way.

This has been wild to say the least. Did anyone else notice the knitting needle that Sion used to catch himself on the mountain?

thing about this episode is not safu. shion changed because of what he saw. his perspective changed, and nezumi knew that, that’s why he told shion that he didn’t want him to change when he sees what he saw.

i'm so happy i rewatched it this show. when i binged it in 1 night last month, shion's behavior seemed so OOC to me. but omg, that scene where he killed the guard who hurt nezumi was just... so painful yet so poetic. i felt nezumi's pain and guilt. to see someone you love, and admire for their humanity change so drastically (even momentarlly) is gutwrenchting, especially someone so idealistic and pure as shion. i didn't find his character progression as a negative character arc. i think he is slowly realising the lengths he's willing to go through to protect those he loves
