| ^ Lol that was awesome Aku no Hana plus disco ftw. Amazing episode, best of the series so far. Can't wait to see everyone's reaction. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| chilling. After this episode, I know why they chose to rotoscope … amazingly done. I've never seen anything executed like that. The emotion was captured in such a way that neither film, nor a regular animation could accomplish. Can not wait for the next episode |
| Liar, liar... At last it's starting to go places. Though I still fear there may be not enough time to reach the best(?) (worst?) parts yet. This is only the first of those moments. Also, I don't know how they'll handle the live-action filming-rotoscoping of that one notorious scene - if this ever goes that far, anyway. Oh, and new OP. Nanako ver. |
| I love that soundtrack! That final scene is one of the best things I've seen in anime for quite some time. Seriously beautiful |
  |
| Superb ending, the music really added to the atmosphere, I had goosebumps, and the slow motion was just right. Honestly, this changed my whole opinion of the series. |
| Well, damn. I chose a good time to start this series. Now that I'm caught up, I'll have something nice to look forward to every week, for several weeks. |
itsvero said: Wow. You gotta respect the cinematography. The ending was absolutely, horrifically beautiful. Yes. The final scene of this episode was absolutely, visually dynamic and probably could not have been done without the effect of the rotoscoping. Here's hoping the story picks up after this since it seems like it will. |
| Eat some steak and scoot up to bed~ |
| This episode is what I've been waiting for my entire life. |
| For several episodes I've been screaming at the screen; "YOU F**KING PANSY". Its futile, the protagonist is so incredibly annoyingly wimpy. It's almost as if he likes being dominated and tormented. |
| Cherish what you know is true |
| I really liked the music that played at the start of the midnight scene. And how that scene ended up was masterful, I really enjoyed it. Kasuga finally realised that he'd been running from the exact thing he'd been looking for before he met Nakamura... I must read the manga after the anime is done! |
 |
| Yeah really. I don't see any problems with the art style. It's pretty sweet, and very realistic. Also, Saeki's mom is HAWT |

| Wow the rotoscoping looked really nice at the end of this episode. The ED fit perfectly too! |
| that ending was something else, great episode series really has turned on its head for me glad i stuck it out and carried on watching! just hope it carries on! |
| Wow. |
| Ho. Lee. Shit. That was incredible. My jaw literally dropped. I almost cried. Fuck baccano. This is going in my favorites. |

| I am important. I have a girlfriend. Check out my podcast |
| Best episode so far. |
| Yeees! That was the best episode, and the final was the best scene of the whole season! |
 |
| Okay, was skipping most of that episode but ending was incredible I admit it. |
 |
| Last five or so minutes of the episode were awesome in terms of animation, story, and music. The new version of the ending is creepier than the normal one. HappyAdventurer said: Nakamura is clearly not alright in the head, and is using him to take out all that poisonous and bitter anger she has bottled up inside of her. I really wish an adult would enter this situation. Kasuga clearly cannot handle himself so he needs someone of more strength and wisdom to set him back on the right track. Agree. This is getting out of their hands. Nakamura has already pushed him to the limits of his mind. Kasuga clearly can't fight back and is taking worse decisions every time because of anxiety/fear. |
 |
| That ending, damn that sure was damn interesting turn in events! I really wonder what will happen next... This story is actually getting quite interesting and more serious! |
 |
| Nakamura is using Kasuga in such a horrible way, but it's fun to watch in anime. Oh, how I would have loved to write out how I feel about every one of the people in my class back in public middle school and vandalize the classroom in such a way. It's so freeing to get every little bit out and destroy something you despise. It's completely impossible to do that in real life, so fiction is great for living out fantasies like that. e_e I know the circumstances here are slightly different, but that was my response~ Nakamura is my favorite character, I think. I don't really understand why she's going all this, but she's got Kasuga completely bound to her will. I can't wait until I read the manga. I'm enjoying the anime so much that I'm afraid the manga will be so much better as everyone says that I won't be able to watch this anymore. <3 |

| Anyone know what the song is at the end of this ep? Same one at the start of ep 8 too. |
Dopebear said: Anyone know what the song is at the end of this ep? Same one at the start of ep 8 too. #3: "Hana (花)" by ASA-CHANG & JUNRAY (ep 7) It is the original version of the regular ending. |
| In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom. |
| I like the OP so much |
| http://youtu.be/702jAjNZ5Lc A much improved version of the ending of this episode.. I wonder how you guys consider it. :) |
  |
| I did not expect that last ending sequence.... What the hell is going to happen next...? |
  |
| omg. Agreeing with HappyAdventurer's entire post basically. |
 |
| One of the greatest scenes in the manga finally adapted! Not a huge fan of the rotoscoping, but it was still pretty damn awesome! This was when good becomes greatness! (in the manga) |
 |
| Loved the ending. |
 |
| most beta male character ever..... this kid makes all the wimpy MCs voiced by Yuki Kaji look alpha the breakdown at the end seems a bit abrupt to me though... |
 |
| Omg, this show... Best episode so far. Those final minutes, man... So unpredictable. |
| The ending was brilliant. People might hate that art style, but i love it. I love how they adapted that scene from manga. |
| Yes, it was great, wasn't it? Probably my favourite episode. |
| the ending was soooooo good |
 |
Karisu said: nelsonbrabra said: the last scene was just amazing n the ost in it made it so awesome. would be a perfect adapation if it wasnt for the rotoscope Funny, I find it is perfect thanks to the rotoscope. Would never get the emotion on their faces this good without it. Yeah. The rotoscope is what makes this anime a masterpiece. It's great. |
| *licks your eyeball* |
| That ending left me speechless... He snapped. XD Also the new version of the ED is more disturbing than the previous one. Nakamura broke down all Kasuga's inhibitions through her clever manipulation. She is definitely the most interesting character in the show. |
