| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mm, the atmosphere of this episode is kinda moody for me. Some of the action and soundtrack were nice though. Go Yogi :3 Gareki pretty badass as well. Damn, I was hoping to see Tsukumo more though. Ouch, that hit on the arm looked pretty brutal. |
 |
| I don't think that flashback with grown up them are added (not in the manga)? Yogi vs. Yotaka. I thought that it's another person who killed Yotaka, and not him... Are they going to different direction? |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Damn that epiosde. That ending. I forgot the manga up to this point so I couldn't remember what would happen. |
 |
| Gah, the feels this episode gave me. |
| Dat ending song really cuts the serious atmosphere. |
| This episode was pretty dark but wow i really enjoyed it.. the fight with yogi was awesome and the music was good to.. but man the feels in this episode.. the anime is getting better im really enjoying it more |
| Great episode, it had a different atmosphere from the previous episodes. Yogi did pretty good even after he was injured and Gareki got a good hit in as well, though he was later blocked with ease. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Yotaka ;__; At the beginning when he was licking the blood off his fingers...I shivered because that's so gross. I don't remember feeling that way when I read it lol. Pretty dark episode this week, it's unfortunate that Yotaka died without knowing that Gareki doesn't hate him. That damn varuga destroying poor Tsubame's family. I loved the conversation between Nai and Tsubame, that was heartwarming. |
| Yay, was expecting Circus to show up :D Pretty nice episode though, all the feels... |
| Meh, this episode felt bland to me. I haven't read the manga so I have no emotional attachment to the twins and as such the fight was just boring to me. All in all I feel this anime suffers from the same thing as Devil Survivor 2, having too many characters in a short show and not being able to give them enough screen time to introduce them properly before firing tragedy arrows at them. I hope next time we return to whatever "main plot" the series has since we've now seen Gareki's background. |
| Really good episode! Loved how Yotaka looks like with long hair and wings. But really sad death T_T RIP Poor Tsubame :(...Hope that ass dies a painful death!!!! |
 |
| I was bored.. |
 |
| Yotaka was pretty cool in his transformation. It's a shame he has to die. Anyway, the episode itself was great. |
 |
| The feeelllsss ;-; poor Gareki! This was a pretty interesting episode. I liked the Yogi-action with the whole thorn-cage it was cool ^.^ and Nai encouraging Tsubame was cute as well The pacing of this episode was pretty slow for me, just a lot of Gareki telling Nai to go back, then fighting between Yogi and Yotaka, then more flashbacks... ~.~ |
| at first part kinda bored,,also the scene is night, so cant see well but near the end part of the episode is too emotional T^T poor twin... :( |
| Great episode. I actually got a little teary-eyed at the end. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Damn shit went down int his episode. |
| very sad episode i really liked the music |
 |
| All that gathered in me watching this sad depressing episode instantly died when the cheery ending song started to play after wards... *deadpanned face* T_T |
 |
| That ending hit me hard. :( |
 |
| It was a good episode..but..the ending was so sad..I almost cry a little bit.. |
 |
| Yotaka!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T_____T |
NayukiShiina said: Dat ending song really cuts the serious atmosphere. Yeah it really does! But i kinda like the shock it leaves. I'm just about to cry, and i'm trying to interpret what just happened and how to feel about it. Then all of sudden "Be my reason!" Totally ruins the mood but it's fun at the same time! XD But overall i Think this has been the most confusing episode. I haven't read the manga, so the plot and stories are still a bit blurry to me. I liked that Gareki didn't really get a closure though! Leaves it open, and it made the mood more Deep when he didn't really make up with the Twins! I'll stay strong for another week! |
| The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being. |
| Ow man , this episode was sad. |
 |
| Ow, anime version or manga, this arc will always break my heart. |
| I got to admit, this anime is really portraying the series WAY BETTER than the manga did :'| Reading all about the Varuga and about Circus is hard for me since there is so much content, watching it in anime form seems easier to comprehend. I guess if you found this episode boring, you'd find the manga 10x more boring (since it starts off real slow till vol 6-ish). But I guess it's because the anime just made the scenes in Eps 5 way more effective than in black n white... |
| srs moment b4 end theme one again. Was alright, showed Gareki's backstory. Overall the twin relation felt a little unnecessary. 3/5 |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| Good episode with some decent action and music. Seems like there are many experiments that Varuga are carrying out. The Yotaka and Tsubame scene was done nicely and I wonder how they are going to react when they see that Hirato finished it off!? Looking forward to the next episode!! 5/5 |
  |
| Not a bad ep, but really the two MC's are just so weak atm, and unless a S2 is lined up I just don't see how this won't be rushed. I'm guessing the girl will tag along with them, will be neat to see how that plays out, maybe I should take a look at the manga at some point. |
| i really liked this episode, especially this dark atmosphere and the bloody scenes. and i also have to admit i have a soft spot for siblings with a rather dysfunctional and/or dramatic relationship. i would've loved to see more scenes with these two siblings. well, hopefully i'll get to see more bro moments between nai and tsubame! it still doesn't feel like a proper anime, more like they were trying to animate random scenes and random characters from the manga, but nevertheless i'm still enjoying it. |
| ... I don't know. I really liked the manga, but I don't really feel the same way towards the anime. I forgot how annoying Nai is. |
| Wow, shit got serious with this episode. I'm liking this anime so far. The Yotaka guy has been around for only 2 episodes or so, which is very little to make me care about him, but I certainly know I'd prefer Nai to die instead of him. The ED though... I'm gonna skip it next time, 'cause I can't get it outta my head for the next two days after I hear it. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| Didn't expect such a sad episode D: not that it wasn't good, just caught me off guard. I find myself wondering though, does Nai actually DO anything any time soon? Despite being the main character he seems to have had little to no character development so far and has been nothing but a hindrance to everyone else every episode. I guess I just wish the story was progressing a bit faster. |
| Interesting episode, very good. |
 |
| This show for some reason can't keep it's consistency. I don't know if it's just different writers or what it is, but the episodes just keep alternating between good and just okay. In comparison with the dry episode of last week, this one was really good in showing Gareki's past, his relationship with his family, and giving each scene a very emotional punch from beginning to end. I did feel the real villain in the end was pretty tacked on and cliche, but every other part of it was good. Nai was cute again in it, his simple innocence as an animal shining through. However the leader guy stepping in at the last moment was unexpected. I wanted to know why he was there and why he is so cold about killing the poor kid. This is probably going to put more friction between him and Gareki. I give this episode a 8/10. This was very good, but I have a feeling, by it's track record, the next episode will be blah again.... |
| Watched this episode at 4 times normal speed. The perfect pace for this anime. |
 |
| This episode was ok for me, there was a lot of feelings involved which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I'm hoping for a little more battle and action from these people with special powers, and a little less flashbacks |
| MALoween 2024: Main Candies:       Bonus Candies:  |
| Felt so sad for the twins :( especially with Tsubame being left alone. Though I think Circus will take her in now, or at least I hope so. |
 |
| Sadness ;-; .. but the best episode in the series (so far), by far. |
  |
| This was quite sad ;-; |
| Great episode, but the evil guy didn't feel that evil. This still has this happy feel to it for some reason. The ending was so cliché, it didn't touch me at all... |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Felt a lot of mixed emotions watching this because although some people are complaining on how there's just way too many flashbacks instead of plot progression, I think it's important for us as viewers to understand each character better and this certainly revealed a lot about Gaeki! I don't think that they could have gives us more hints about Gaeki or learn how to understand him more without seeing his past since he's always talking about being "filthy" and stuff... I actually shed a tear despite knowing what would happen at the end of this episode...but it was a manly tear. Even though I'm a woman. Okay, that makes no sense at all xD Wildar said: I find myself wondering though, does Nai actually DO anything any time soon? Despite being the main character he seems to have had little to no character development so far and has been nothing but a hindrance to everyone else every episode. I know right...This is really bothering me too, haha. He's always that one character that's told to run away or keep away when a situation is extremely dangerous since he can't do anything to protect himself but he stubbornly stays and almost always gets himself killed only to be rescued by someone last second. I mean I've seen anime characters like this who (are not human, haha just kidding) strangely enough don't appear to be afraid of death and are constantly acting without considering oh let's say..THE CONSEQUENCES! *cough cough* DEATH. But yeah, Nai really is getting irritating. If he insists so much on staying to help...he might actually want to be of some help rather than causing more trouble. I'm not trying to bash Nai or anything, trust me, I freaking love him (he's so adorable! * ^ *) but I really hope he does become a stronger character that doesn't need to rely on others so much. I guess what I want to see him become is a more independent person who HOPEFULLY also grows a little taller cause you know I feel kind of creepy always thinking how adorable he is. I feel like a pedophile, lol. BUT he might actually be like 100+ years old or something and just stuck in a little boy's body (sound familiar?). Now I'm actually kind of crossing my fingers and hoping he's actually less than 100 because then I"d feel even creepier... |

| Also kindddd of off topic but: I noticed how many albinos I'm eventually going to end up having on my favorite character's list. Sheesh, what's up with all these white-haired bishes nowadays? We've got them in so many animes: that one guy (bad with names xD) from K with the umbrella, Nai from Karnival, Shion from No. 6, Near from Death Note, Akise from Mirai Niki, Allen Walker from D Gray Man...and the LIST GOES ON! How am I supposed to explain to my friends this list? lol 1/2 of them just so happen to be albinos...nothing to see here...carry on xD Yeah I'm losing my friends. |
