| Honestly starting to get bored since we can all assume that everyone's going to fail in their assassination attempts I'll watch until the end because I'm just really curious about Tokaku's past and Haru, of course. Still waiting for some big reveal. |
| I liked it, and I also like how they'll have a different ending song for each girl. So far they've been great. I think Haru is a cute little ball of sunshine, but really this girl is dumb. I know she wants to graduate and make friends with everyone, but seeing as how two girls tried to kill her, I hope in the next episodes she'll keep her guard up when she gets another notice. After two attempted assassinations, I think this should wake her up. Still a fun show. I like getting the backstories. |
| Tokaku kinda reminds me of Kanaan, can figure things out with a 'scent' and wanted to protect a girl because she has a diff 'scent' Anyway, was expecting some yuri but still hasn't happened until now, that's ok I can wait. Kannazuki no miko was like this too until ep 8. I agree Kouko was not good in assassination, girl was nervous when trying to reload a gun lol |

They "guide the dead into the next reincarnation" and are used at funerals. Also involved in legends where lovers will never meet or can't be together, since the leaves and petals don't live at the same time. Seems like a generic funeral flower in a similar vein to white lilies also being a sign of mourning. |

AsherFischell said: I think some students know about the mission hence they don't bother to get involved, there was a conversation from some students talking about the assassins and the last target didn't even last a week.Myojo Academy is supposed to be a normal school, so how would absolutely noone, students and staff included, not notice that there was a huge explosion in the library? |
| If only towards the end all the assassins that were knocked off (supposing that they're not killed) return pushed by a revenge lust, and there's a very huge fight between the assassins remained, the ex-ones and Haru & Tokaku, it will be very good.. But I sense that they'll cut out the more insignificant assassins every week until there'll be the most significant ones and then we could see some twists. But this show needs to improve, because it was so promising. |
| Those assassins who fail, do they really die at the end? And if they do, who executes them? |
| I tought this will get better, but the show is just bad!! we want to kill u, but let's pretend we are friends!.. that should work.. i am a fucked up girl with scars,, so I will just smile and hang out with ppl who want to kill me.. I must be very smart I' drop this :( |
| Tokaku sprints like a total beast. And has that epic sense of smell. She IS a beast. Case closed. |

I hope it'll get better soon and gain people's interestI tought this will get better, but the show is just bad!! we want to kill u, but let's pretend we are friends!.. that should work.. i am a fucked up girl with scars,, so I will just smile and hang out with ppl who want to kill me.. I must be very smart I' drop this :( |
| Ep was good enough, I love that ED. Also, Isuke sleeping on the test and getting zero. She didn't even write her name, hahaha!!! |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| The Azuma bloodline huh. Haru, you are too damn naive. Kouko's past :( Hopefully now she'll stop trying to be an assassin. Can't wait till Nio tries to kill Haru. |
 |
| Good episode but i must admit that i feel sorry for kaminaga-san... it's a nice touch to have a different ending every time. |

Haru gets notice -> Haru still acts carefree -> Haru does something stupid -> Tokaku comes and saves the day *rinse repeat* I'm starting to get disillusioned. +1 with this. who would wan't to be friends with assassins? |

| 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. |
| Meh. The first two episodes were kind of promising but every character is basically a walking cliche and I know that Haru has some secret or whatever and she isn't just a tryhard who wants everyone to love each other but her character is still annoying as hell, and so are most of the assassins. Chitaru is the only character I like so far, and Tokaku is okay. It's not a bad anime but the first couple episodes made me believe that there might be just enough to differentiate this from the rest, but it doesn't appear to be that way. Also anime in general need to stop doing that Bakemonogatari-esque character rambling sequence at the end of every episode, seems like most anime do it now and it's getting old |
| We got the interactions between the other assassins back a bit (Niratame? and Chitaru's holding hand thing) but the conversation between bomber girl and her roommate was cut out :( and since the bomber is gone, we've missed out on their interaction where roommate's supposed to have overheard bomber's desire to stop being an assassin. Ah well, hoping for a good ending at least. |

I also hope this comes true. As in, "We no longer have to follow the rules so fuck you." Then Haru fucks their shit up and Tokaku confesses. In a perfect world... Anyway, it was a pretty good episode. It was obvious by how easily Tokaku/Haru spotted all of Kouko's traps that her inability to be a good assassin was emphasized. I especially liked how after the bomb went off, in Tokaku's POV, all we could hear was a loud ringing. I feel like they're getting the assassins with no REAL motive out of the way first, so the ones who really NEED to kill Haru get more screen time, and make the trip through the series more worth while. I mean, they're letting us get to know Nio and Hitsugi/Chitaru, Isuke and the others enough so when the time comes, we're either attached to them or hate the shit out of them. |
| I'll be honest, this episode seemed a little lower on my scale than the previous three, but it still had some interesting points. Again, something I'd like to see expanded on in the future. Speaking of Tokaku and Haru, we did get bit closer on the yuri front this week, though for me it seemed like a slight step back from last episode's interactions. Hopefully this is just a one-time occurrence, and next week will be more promising! |
 |
| The best part of the episode was.... The new ED. |
 |
| Man, by the end of this show, Azuma will be completely wrecked by Ichinose naievety xD So in this episode, we had the failed assassin. The irony in his action vs her ideal was funny. I really like that each girl have a different ED, make it a bit less repetitive |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| So the answer to riddle of this question was "Death"? After all "What suddenly comes suddenly and then never leaves" is passing away from this world for all eternity. The assasination message was also related to solution of this riddle and it was "Death isn't the end of life; it's the completion of life" which I find so meaningful. So I wonder what you need in order to free caged bird in the next week's episode. iLostReason said: Also, are those assassins just threw out of class, or are they killed but they don't show it? i wonder. I am wondering the same but judging by previous episode they are going to get killed by Nio if they fail at their attempt to kill Haru after all. |

| Haru is starting to annoy me...She is not very bright. And Tokaku got hurt because of Haru's stupidity. I dont like this episode very much. |
| I'm not really liking this assassin of the week formula, doesn't work for this imo. If there was more action it'd work out better or if we saw more prep work in their assassination attempts. |
 |
| OMG! why does everyone think this is villain of the week? maybe 2 or 3 ep but we have the dice dude, teacher and Nio as wild cards and everyone isn't all about assassination and the setting is in a normal school, I bet next ep it won't be the villain of the week. |
 |
| What the fuck are you on about? And the teacher was already confirmed harmless by both the official Twitter and Nio in episode 2. I liked this ending the best, maybe even more than Haru's. |
| i think they should start the yuri thing because if this show is going to just about the "assassin of the week" as someone already mentioned, it will be very boring |

The teacher snuck up on Tokaku even she was surprised and maybe he's the dice dude in disguise :O Maybe in the anime they won't go farther with the teacher which they should, why him for this class? they're hiding something. And Mio was tlking with a woman on the phone right? hmmm Ed songs - Takechi>Tokaku>Haru>Kouko |
|
| Not a bad episode. Personally I won't really mind if they stick with the 1 assassin per week formula; I never really had high hopes for this anime anyways and it's still decently entertaining. |

He didn't do shit and he won't do shit, there is no "riddle" behind him, nothing to hide. Tokaku didn't notice him because she was completely mesmerized by Haru, read the premise of the show and see what I'm getting at. What about Nio talking on the phone with a woman? She might have connections with Kaiba, but the teacher is a normal guy. |
| Great episode |
 |
| apparently some people still don't know the difference between a bomb and a grenade. |
| I hope they will not tick with a assasination of the week format. Haru is very cute but she's also too naive. |
| This show seems to be the Jack of all trades, master of none for it's specific genre. It does enough but nothing is quite up to par with other series out there. I feel that I should note that I do in fact believe that there will be more to this show than the weekly assassin drama. Although sadly even if such does happen it still wont surprise me. |

| really liked the ending. kinda sucks that the outcome of each episode is so predictable. already said it in the last episode it is way to formulaic to create any kind of tension. really hope they mix it up and do not have every single assassination attempt be full of preperation. atleast one of them needs to give haru the note personally and then try to kill her like right away. the series really needs to mix things up. |
| I WANT TO QUIT BEING AN ASSASSIN THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO MURDER YOU. |
| Hmm. The fight scenes are pretty weak.. I would love to have more focus on the different skills and tricks of the characters. I'd rather see that than Haru walking around with a smile on her face while knowing that everyone she says "Hello" to has an urge to kill her -.- |
xchee said: Haru is an idiot and she's seriously starting to get really annoying. Haru gets notice -> Haru still acts carefree -> Haru does something stupid -> Tokaku comes and saves the day *rinse repeat* I'm starting to get disillusioned. My thoughts exactly after watching this episode, general impression of the show is going downhill every week |
| I'm a bit disappointed nobody died yet. I mean I was hoping the last one did survive that suicide(liked her the most of the bad guys) but overall I'm really disappointed. they are assassins. they should behave as such. especially tokaku. I understand why she didn't kill any of the attackers but it still is disappointing. |
| I hope they change things up a bit rather than assassin of week, otherwise things would get boringly repetitious. And they need to take their time to flesh out the characters cos even with that little background story of Kouko, I didn't really care for her. Obviously there's more to this story with all this talk about the "Akuma's blood" and all these organizations, hopefully we will see more of this soon. |
