THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I have been liking the direction this anime is going. The drama and intesity is great, BUT it all disappeared the moment Hoshino was oozing black blood. I just broke out in laughter. When Shuri cut herself, I thought i was just seeing things but the stab confirmed it all. The connection with School Days grows by the episode ;p

There was a disturbing lack of Aoi-chan this episode ;_; Other than that, it was pretty good. Needs Sana's backstory now.

I felt really sad for the Shu brothers even if I really didn't care about them previously. If I ever see that Vice-Principal...

Well, it'll most likely have a good end for them. I hope.

I must say, haven't been gripped by an episode like that for a long time. When the old lady went doolally it sent me for a loop! It literally had me on the edge of my seat (some may say I'm easily pleased but ho hum ^_^).

It will be very interesting to see how this pans out. I can't wait for the next episode!

lol ok I figured it out!

The reason Sana is afraid of knifes is because hes makato's little brother! and he had to transfer back to this school after his brother was killed. That's why hes afraid of knifes and black blood! HA!

But seriously wtf black blood?

and seriously seriously whats up with the twins I was 1/2 expecting them to get it on in the last part of the episode.

Black blood was probably to keep it PG-13. Personally, I don't care about the blood being black. As I recall, this is an anime and not real life.

Goodness, what an episode! Sana freaking out was very well done, although his drunk-walk was more amusing than anything. I now admire the seiyuu of the grandma, going from calm to crazy to calm again. Serious kudos to her. Also, Hoshino gained respect from me -- I didn't really care about her before, and she's still far from my favorite character, but protecting Shuri like that was awesome. The interactions between Shuri and Shuu didn't feel like twincest to me... it was more like they were depending on each other, and only on each other. *shrugs*

And the black blood... well, I don't really care about it, but I don't think it would have raised the rating if it was red. There honestly wasn't that much blood.

Eagerly awaiting the next episode~

I agree on how great the anime is and the different direction is going...
But the Black Blood was a big letdown... Why did they have to do that!!!

fucken old lady! To all the people that said she didn't kill the cat, I told you she did and she was going to try kill a person!

as for the anonymous letter to the school. I have a few guesses as to who could have done it.
1) The new wife because she wants to get ride of the kids.
2) The guy(b/f) that was with the new wife because he wanted to make her happy.
3) The vice principal because he's a prick and has something against the twin's dad.

as for the whole Sana blood thing. I'm still sticking with my original theory that his best friend (or loved one) killed him or her self (or got into an accident and died) in front of Sana and he now wheres that watch as a reminder.

This episode was amazing and I cant wait to see the next.

Episode 10 was emotional...i can definitely associate with that kind of household. It's good the siblings can be together. I think it's completely retarded that the school would take such a letter seriously. I don't think that part was realistic at all, bad press is always going to be generated at times like this, but without PROOF such as photo's of them going into the love hotel than it's nothing. I think the guy that smirked at the chalkboard writing was the one that did it...although i'm not sure why. The old woman going batty was predicatible.

Shit happens since i liked the ep so much i didnt payed attention...Next 3 eps must be extremely good since the have to answer 710567 things.Sanas Past-Nanakas Past- Whats gonna happens with the twins their fake mother their father elections etc.Also Sana will end up with nanaka i think we have to see that also...

I always just like to immerse myself in a story, even if it might be sudden or contrived. Well, if it's totally off the wall, I'll be skeptical, but sometimes you just go with the flow. Already this series has surprised me tons of times, and I'm liking the drama of it all. Strange but unique, and uniqueness counts for me.

Boo on the black coloration as well. When can the world get past that?

Definite points for ShuuxShuri right there. Shame that all those classmates don't agree.

Since episode 1 I have the theory that Sana tried to commit suicide in the past and that's the reason to be moved into his childhood town more the phone calls of his mom every night and the watch cover his wrist. And this episode just confirmed that!! I hope the next chapter will be the Sana's past!!

And the direction of the anime is great!!! it needs more suspense because only lacks 3 episodes to the end!! And this lasts chapters the anime advance so much!!

Hoping that Shu brothers will stay in town .-. and the ed will be great ^_^

I really hope this doesn't end like school days, becouse ok in that anime Makoto tottally desserved what happened to him(thuogh Sekai didin't), but here none of the characters have done anything wrong!Maybe it's my habbit of getting sucked up in the story, but i just hope we don't have to see something like school days again (at least in this series), I still feel like being at the edge of mental breakdown becouse of that.....SERIOUSLY WHO IN ANIME HEAVEN'S NAME THINKS OF STUFF LIKE THIS?

I think i was more groosed out by the twin love........ It looked dodgy to start with holding hands and stuff at that point the forbiden love alerts started ringing but i causually ignored hoping that it wouldnt try to imply it any further than just being really 'close' BUT ARRR vice principal "you two have being see comming out of a hotel last night" eeeeeeeeeew its a major taboo just to say something like that and the fact their twins makes it 5millon times worse... I cringed throughout that whole part.

Don't see anything "confirming" that Sana tried to commit suicide. It's obviously clear that he's had some bad experience likely involving a knife and blood, but it doesn't have to be suicide and it didn't have to directly happen to him

Maybe murder? There's something suspicious about his mom calling him now and then and asking him if he's alright or something.

Or is it that Sana has hemophobia (and for obvious reasons, he can't go to med school...)?

I think it's fairly obvious he tried to commit suicide. Unless you want to try and reason that his attempted-murderer tried to kill him by slashing his wrist. If I was a killer I'd probably go for the heart or something, not their wrist. So that's why I think it's been foreshadow'd pretty well(if not somewhat excessively) that he tried to kill himself.

I would like start off saying that at least it wasn't a "nice boat". This series went in a serious direction fast, but I love where it's heading. They're still dodging why Sana is afraid of blood, but I bet it has something to do with the watch or his wrist in some way. It was definitely worth waiting another week to see this ep though. Glad that they finally did give the twins some good screen time and a good story, just another reason why this show has so much depth. Next week looks like it's going to be epic. Only two episodes left. I going to be sad when this is all over because this has been my favorite ever since it started. Oh well.

lol I wasn't sure she was stabbed either until I saw the blood spreading. Actually, I didn't even know the old lady was going at Shuri with a knife. You just see the knife at the bedside table and then the old lady says she's gonna kill a person (even though her position was far from the table). You don't actually see her holding the knife. Too censored =/

Black blood = mentioned.
Sana's drunk walk = mentioned.
Vice-principal being an ass = mentioned.
Shuusuke's awesome = mentioned.

I didn't mind the black-maroony blood. Don't think it really ruined the effect.
Hoshino was upped in my books for saving Shuri, but she should have just slide tackled the old lady!

My guess on the twincest thing is that they aren't confirming it, but aren't denying it either. Basically, I think they're going to let people think what they want ^^ (and this episode creates a huge fanfic spin off)

@Deathfire: I don't think 2 works (I think he was just in it for the party favors).
In regards to the suicide theory: (other persons' suicide, that is) ... he had to have found the person himself, I think, to have that violent of a reaction. Has his mom mentioned anything about his dad being around? Then again, considering previous episodes, it'd probably have to be a friend.

People are too obsessed with School Days. The anime turned out that way because the game did. If you knew anything about the game, you expected it. Not all anime are going to be like this because of one *bad seed* <-- I hate you, SD.

Umm thats why I said a friend or loved one. He was probably there and saw that person get killed or kill him/her self. That's why he reacts the way he does around knives with blood on them. His mom calls every night just to check up on him because shes scared that he may try and kill him self or something.

I honestly don't see his past being, him cutting him self with a knife or trying to commit suicide. Thats way to predictable not to mention cliche. Theres also not enough clues that even point in that direction.

The clue that he killed himself is his watch. He looks at when he's distressed, he's protective of it and if he did try to kill himself its hiding the scar. If it was from someone he knew who killed themselves, why would he look at it when he's distressed? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me honestly, I mean it's possible obviously just that the chances aren't there.

If anything there aren't enough clues pointing in your hypothesis' direction.

First off, you cant say "The clue that he killed himself is his watch. " that's wrong to say for a living person :P

Going on, i dont think he tried to kill himself...
The watch does have some significant value, but he would have some really irresponsible parents, if they let him go live far away on his own if he is known to have suicidal tendencies...

I also have a strong feeling that he tried to kill himself.

His parents do call to check up on him everyday and maybe the reason why they allowed him to live on his own was because he was depressed of where he was living before. He could of been bullied or whatever. ^_^

Yeah, pretty sure he already did try to kill himself, I have thought that since the first or second episode. His mom calls every night because she is worried that he might do it again, he wears the wrist-watch to cover up the scar and every time he sees a knife, he bugs out. Mostly it's because of the wrist-watch, though, he wears it to cover up the scar and when Nanaka was flipping out on him and telling him how happy he was, he was probably going to tell her how miserable he was and that he almost killed himself.

The question is why did he try to kill himself? Was he so horribly depressed that he tried to kill himself and that's why he's back now? Because he is too depressed away from here?

I really love the twins, too. They are awesome, I loved seeing their storyline. I feel that Shuusuke is probably going to kill someone, this has nothing to do with School Days, heh. Most 12-13 episode long animes have something tragic happen in them and something very psychological and they have been working up to that this entire time since it has moved extremely slow until the last few episodes, and even now, it's not really going anywhere, so something horrific will most likely happen at the end, but we shall see what. Get to find out what happened to him, to Nanaka, and the like.

Also get to find out what exactly Shuusuke was screaming at him the night he was leaving on the train. It could not have been the night that Nanaka's house burned down and I know that Sana thinks that Shuu was yelling something like bye, but to me, he looked like he was panicking..

I still get chills thinking about Nanaka's 'Help Me' letter. >.>
