bakayaro-dude said: Samepretty much mindfucking plot if you ask to me, but that is why i love this anime. BTW Good episode, but this has a better plot than death note. Kenyi Kamiyama never dissapoint me. yakyuu-addict said: It's 9 at the momentSo the rules of the game have been revealed and we got 11 dudes trying to save the country. |
| This is one hard core fucked up game!! That Dr. was a very kind man. It's a shame that he had to die. Does Akira suffer from hallucinations as well as being a player in a shitty unfair game? |

Orio94 said: Wow, I absolutely love this series. I'm also starting to notice some similarities to Fate/stay Night, u know the whole inescapable situation/game where the players are narrowed down little by little. Just thought I'd throw in that comment.....I love that kind of plot. this whole tme i s thiking how this was similer to another anime that had a game, but was complelty lost as to which one, thx for the help, it really is familier to it wow, that was a lot of info and it was really helpful there are 12 selecio including the supporter 2 have now been killed ur goal is to fix japan, if u do, u live, but everyone else dies u get 10 B yen, u can do what u want with it, as long as its for the nation. |

| Ordinary people, forced into a one man standing game for the sake of their country. Kinda like battle royale only less gory and more intelligent. I've also noticed how the japanese have a English opening song while we have a japanese song o_o EDIT: that little blue robot thingy reminds me of a baby tachikoma |

| So we finally know some truth behind the "game" and it wasn't pleasant, although I have this feeling that there is more to it than what we were told. Anyway, great development, this is becoming quite the story. I'm very curious to know how can Juiz be so ready to kill innocent people for the sake of answering a selecao's request. I mean there should be limits to their freedom, unless there's some darker agenda in this organization. PS: I hope they come back together, there was this great chemistry that is now missing :( |

| Did he... did he... just jump off the bridge and got up like nothing happened? Overall, great episode. :) |
 |
| definitely gave us an insight on what the "game" is all about. though i wonder how the 12 selaco can save the country with 10 billion only??? and wow the doctor simulating how it all started was awesome. especially the vomit part :P i feel sorry for the doctor, he was only doing what he can for the old people. i guess this is not the way "The Outsider" see how it can save japan. damn the supporter is just around the corner lurking around. im guess the other episode will be based on other Selaco hmm. overall amazing stuff, despite we didn't get enough screen time with Saki hopefully in the next it will focus on her :) |
The plot is developing nicely. Loved the episode. All that mystery around the supporter. Also that Outside guy. Looking forward to next episode. |
|
| Words cannot describe how mindblown I am right now. Mannnn, this is so interesting to watch! It's a shame how its only 11 eps. :( And two movies ya. 5/5 :) |
| Great backstory, and the second is dead already... lets see what's next! |
 |
| Well we finally learn more about this "game" that Akira is part of thanks to the doctor. Poor guy had to be executed by the Supporter :( I kind of laughed at how the doctor went through such lengths to recreate the situation of when they first got the cellphone for Akira. How nice of him (to include the throwing up part too LOL) It's interesting how old Akira decided to erase his memories because he believed in his new self. He definitely isn't your average guy. |
| Yo I'm taking my pants off as this story unfolds. |
 |
| It is indeed interesting who thie Outside is. I hope we won't be disappointed. The mood was quite my type. I was sad when the doctor had to go.. |
 |
| Is it just me, or do the voices sound a little quiet compared to the sound effects and BGM? Not always, but just at times. I suppose that's just how the effects are made more effective. Great episode, wonderful bits of tension. Starting to grip me now.. |
| What the heck was that jumping off the bridge scene :S Other than that, good episode. |
 |
| I absolutely loved this episode it was sad that Hiura had to die I guess it was inevitable. As for the scene with the shapeshifting skeleton rape people, I had no fucking idea wtf was going on. |
| I like how complex the story is yet how easy to comprehend it is, it give me a satisfying feeling. |
| What a twisted game... I guess that the one that killed the 20000 NEET judged that he was doing this to ''save'' the nation since they are doing nothing. This is pretty fucked up. That dream in the crater was so weird. It must have a signification. Too bad for the doctor, he didn't seem like a bad guy, just someone that acheived his dream before dying. Poor guy that keep calling Saki but she doesn't give a fuck xD 2 deads, 9 more to go. |

| the doctor was trolin when he made ihm boot. |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Quite intriguing. I wonder what else will happen in only 7 episodes more & I hope the anime will end up to be a well made, completed, fully-explained one.. |
 |
| They really do like mentioning movies in this anime :P Huh what was with that whole scene with the gray Johny's? Loads of background info this episode. Already 2 dead so I wonder who out of the 9 is the supporter? |
| I was wondering why how he was completely unscathed when he jumped off the bridge. Turns out he was only imagining it...or was he? And wth were those Johnnys XD! 2 down, 9 to go. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Another good episode. I hope the way the guy died at the end was painless. He seemed like a cool dude. Still very interesting. Another Selecao dead. |
| I really love the pace of this , everything about this anime is perfect and flowing really well! Loved the OST during this episode! Huira seemed to be such a nice guy , it's a shame he was killed off by the outsider The outsider,Giving 12 selacao 10 billion yen each to use in their own way to save the nation , and if they refrain from their mission they're killed off. I'm curious to finding out his intentions, he has all these resources and money so if he's that concerned about the nation's future , why doesn't he come up with something himself , surely if he wanted more ideas he'd just simply consult with other like-minded people? |
| Yet another intense episode. The flow of information in this one was so rapid it was difficult to keep up; I'm not even sure I got a grasp of everything. |

| Looks like I was right, it has something with improving the country. This reminds me a lot of mirai nikki. |

| well i can say one thing after watching these 4 epsiode this anime is nothing like I thought it was going to be it seems pretty badass though |
 |
| It was quite something special to see the old man just accept his fate and accept death knowing he did something he believed in ... Beautiful. Was kinda weird seeing Akira just fall down with these weird skeletons and eventually seeing it was a mindtrip. |
 |
| Enjoyable episode, nice and slow with lots of explanations on the game. |
| so maybe he is not a bad guy? I wonder what happened before he lost his memory, but episode 1-2 were better than 3-4, still I like this anime. It will be hard decision to rate this. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| that scene on the bridge had me choking on my spit by the way, had anyone watched that watchamacallit movie mentioned on the bridge? |
| An interesting episode with the explanation of the "game". It reminds me Mirai Nikki, I wonder how Akira will save the nation. |
| Very disturbing insight of the truth from this game. I still don't know how to link that with Akira's intention to erase his memories and more importently the thing with the NEET's. What a weird daydream Akira had, it's probably symbolizing something from the time where he held the NEET's at his place. Huh. All those movie references. I wonder if there is more into that, because they are doing really many of them. |

| Finally some more explanation on what's going on with this "game". |
| The guy she like is prob her brother in law. Gosh always sad to see a good person die in anime. |
| Still pondering the meaning of the bridge scene. What a cruel "game"...the participants chosen at random and then obligated to participate on pain of death even though it's ostensibly for the good of Japan. It's hard to believe Akira really caused to death of 20,000 people when he seems like such a genuinely nice guy. Good to see a glimpse of what looked like Akira's former life as what looked like a newspaper boy. A shame to lose the doctor as he really did try to use the Selecao system to help others unlike Kondo. Another good one...looking forward to the next. |
  |
| Question at this point: - Why the identity of the "supporter" is a thing? The Outside have the means to kill them all without the need of one of tehe players of the game. Japanese authors love this conflict where "the hero and the villain that will fight in the end" must be colleagues in the plot. - How that Dectetive Kondou spent 10 billion yenes and was still a simple detective? What he achieved? Nothing? Wtf. Did he spent all the money killing criminals? I missed that part. - Why the newspaper boy Akira had the ideia of kidnap and kill 20k neet, how he knew where the missiles would hit, and why Washington DC? |
 |
| Yeahh this is game of life. and every episode always makes me excited what happened next. So Akira trying to finish the game. |
