debido95 said: I loved this episode, too bad it seems like the crappy episode 5 animation will be back I don't understand how the animation can stick out that bad to some of you people. If the art style is close enough, I hardly notice. I've stuck with many animes with so called bad animation because I was engaged in the story. There wasn't one episode shown so far where I thought,"damn they really messed up". I think some of these elitists bitch about trivial things on this site. On a side note, I thought Itou, Mamoru was a chick until now XD. Should have been obvious with the clothing, but the character barely stood out and acts very feminine. |

| Where did the name "Saeko" shows up in this show ? Luvrei said: Not just the dangerous peoples like Shun.So I wonder how many other people had siblings that were deemed dangerous. The parents are most likely forced to seal their children memories. I understand that the village leaders have the best interest of the community, but I think they're being too controlling and hiding too many secrets. Well, Shun is almost at top in the danger rating. Children who never developed their power is also in risk of getting purged, probably because the society doesn’t want to deal with another case of having two kind of human living side by side and straining for conflict. In previous discussion, the memory sealing is just for kids and teens who normally wouldn't do so well with knowing their sibling and friends are getting purged out. |

Its not so much elitist when they don't know what they are talking about. Its the preference of style they don't like, but it doesn't neccessarily make the animation bad. The comment above yours pretty much sums up the only issues with Yamaguchi directing. |
| Damn this is getting really good, and all those people drop this cuz of the last episode sucks to be them they're missing out on a great show. |
| While I feel the pacing may be trying a bit to hard to be mysterious (ie, very little reveal to the point of its risking turning into something akin to Lost) I still like the art styles and pleasant reminiscence of Nausicaa to keep watching. 'd like it if Saki was a little less wet behind the ears compared to her friends but hopefully she'll be inspired to protect her friends or some such trope like that in the near future! |
 |
| Now it's all coming together and will probably all go downhill from here. Shun turning into a Karma Demon sucks, but i hope the others can fight back in the end. Such a great episode. |
| This whole mystery wants me to know what happens next, and that preview for ep 10 has got me excited haha. |
| good storyline, though some are too difficult to follow so they will constantly be targeted as criminals? well that makes everything become more terrifying last scene: saki met the copycat...! can't wait the next episode |
 |
Vyudali said: I don't think the word Karma Demon should read as Evil or Bad guy here. The same thing as the society that they are living in right now, it is still far from being called "Good".Now it's all coming together and will probably all go downhill from here. Shun turning into a Karma Demon sucks, but i hope the others can fight back in the end. Such a great episode. |

| This anime's making me insane with all that tension! |
| I wonder how that necklace thing Shun gave her works. Because if it is going to work, then now's the time to do it. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Saki really did have and older sister called Yoshimi before! Damn, there's some deep underlying plot involving the teachers, kids turning karma demon and those copycats. Now Shun is dead too! :( What the hell is going on with all these missing people? And what happened in Pinewood? That cliffhanger too. Saki is standing eye to eye with one of the copycats! Could it be Shun? |
 |
| there is a very good atmosphere in this show <.< ! |

| I'm releaved that quolity recovered. This time make scared atmosphere. |
Shun? A karma demon? Nooo!  This is why protecting a functioning and stable PK society from itself in the future is a lot of work, mass conditioning, indoctrination, hypnosis, cover-up... without which everyone with PK potential is a walking nuclear time bomb when they become mentally unstable. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| This society is so fucked up... |
| Shun and Saki wow! This is getting really intense! |
 |
| I would be scared shitless to go into a forest in the middle of the night. Props to Saki though. Brave girl! Awesome atmosphere, intensity and suspense. ProfessorVasuda said: I feel like this show is starting to go somewhere. It almost lost me for a while. +1 |
Elfuun said: Nice cliffhanger! Things are starting to get interesting. Yup, indeed. Not surprising that Saki had an older Sibling, but what I found curious was that she actually knew that sibling and partly grew up with her. So there is some major memory manipulation going on, though the fact that she recovers said memory by herself, could imply that it's not the same kind of hypnosis that the priest was using to seal their Canti. |

| This was actually quite a decent episode! A first some nice story development and character development combined together! I feel a nice buildup for something big! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| I love the OST in this show. |
 |
| Shit son good game! |
 |
| Shit just got real. Probably the best episode so far. Saki just seemed so badass getting all geared up and sneaking around :D I didn't like Saki's long hair before, but the hair style she sported at the end (with the pony tail) is actually very good. Probably my most preferred hair for her now. Why the heck do the Tainted Cats have feet resembling high heels? Could they be actually female humans? |
 |
| Great episode. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| FUCK THIS SERIES, not as in its bad, no fuck this series for always making me want to see the next episode. Its just so hard to stop. Man i cant believe the series had the balls to kill off a MC so quickly in the series. All these conspiracies and revelations are just fantastic, the scene where saki remembers her dead sibling gave me goosebumps. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Ai no chikara. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| A conspiracy!!! I knew that something is wrong with this society. So basically they get rid of mentally unstable people by using those cat looking creatures >.< And it looks like Saki is in trouble. Need to watch the next episode. |
 |
| nice episode.. I wonder what happen with shun :3 and about the ending. is that the cat? :O |
| So Saki had an older sibling... so obviously people's memories get altered. Feels like the show is finally getting into the good stuff. |
| Soooo nobodys gonna mention when satouru and shun "relationship" 0_o |
 As of now, please try to refrain from looking at MAL. its a complete mess right now T-T People of anime have whooped, roasted, beaten, and tamed my ass. I have learned my ways and will never speak that horrible word. But, believe me, MY DAY OF VENGEANCE SHALL COME(please dont take this seriously, just "trying" to be funny lol |
| 1. it took 9 episodes for the main plot to reveal itself... jesus christ 9 episodes... 2. i'm not even emotionallly invested in any of the characters because there was no plot from episodes 1-8. 3. i'm gonna drop this series at at episode 12 if it starts getting boring. i can't believe i forced myself to watch this crap. just cuz it's ranked top 100 in MAL don't mean it's good. 4/10 |
| Wow, such an intense episode. Secrets will fold |
 |
| Things are getting really crazy huh? They are ready to destroy an entire village rather than facing a karma demon. People with psychotelekinesis must be really dangerous, even more if the people don't want to kill him because of the ''return to death'' constraint. When they were exploring the surrounding of the village, those trees and everything were fucking creepy. What was that Queerat doing there? Was he a member of a colony or one of the rebellion? I wonder what they saw with that mirror though, Saki seemed really shocked by it. So we learned that Saki knew about her sister and she probably was brainwashed of any memories of her. What will her encounter with the tainted cat lead to? They say that no one can survive an encounter with them, but the one that brought them easily used their Juryoku on them. Also, in the preview, Saki is screaming Shun name, like if she wanted to stop him to do something. |

| i think this episode was the best since the beginning, finally things are getting interesting i hope they meet other parts of mankind also.. i don't really like shun.. i am rooting for satoru x saki, but i rather see saki x shun than shun x satoru ._. |

| Holy shit, Maria scared the crap out of me when she appeared out in the window. |

Except for maybe Saki but even she gets a little annoying sometimes when she freaks out and starts screeching. The only reason I continue to watch the show is because of all the questions and mysteries that keep piling up, which kinda reminds me of Lost. Hopefully this doesn't end up like Lost, with no pay off. |
T3hSource said: @Vhailor Yeah, the characters are flat, it would be best to self-insert yourself if possible. But there is payoff, OK, there's a lot melodrama that's going to happen with the characters, but try to think of it how this affects the bigger picture. As long as there's payoff, I guess I can sit through some melodrama. After all, I survived the ridiculous melodramatic love polygon or rather love web of Nagi no Asukara. I doubt it can get any worse than that (hopefully). |
| damm! the animation is inconsistent! |

I doubt it can get any worse than that (hopefully). This and Nagi no Asukara are two completely different series though. This one focuses a lot more on world/lore building with the romance aspect (while still very important to the characters relationships and character development) taking a backseat. To my knowledge, Nagi no Asukara takes the opposite approach, and I feel that the two series are hardly comparable. |
| Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast. Yeah. I said it. |

| Pretty good episode, I especially liked the scene between Saki and her parents. I don't like how Saki remembers her sibling and that just kind of got brushed under the rug, hopefully it'll get touched on some time down the road though. Looks like Saki is in trouble at the end there.... |
