What a disgusting hag. Ughhhhhhhhh.

I didn't like the insert song, it was a tad too much.

Btw how is Scam 17 years old? He looks 30 at least.

Glad I decided to watch this it just too good and this actually got an emotional response from me which is kinda rare for me I really hope the good quality continues.

I was too annoyed by both Jou and his sister in their reactions.
Why would Jou IMMEDIATELY run to the orphanage? He knew the guards were looking for him, why wouldn't he just lay low for a week before looking for his sister?! I understand he might be emotional to see his sister, but he really didn't think things REMOTELY through. Isn't he supposed to be a criminal of sorts? Shouldn't he know better? Perhaps killing the old lady would've been something someone would do to someone that cruel and already emotionally enraged.

Hell, why didn't the sister show her reaction or any feelings toward her own brother until AFTER he leaves, throwing him deeper in despair and depression. God, like what does she have to lose if he is already caught by the guards and to at least show some sign emotion besides dismissing him. Honestly, we all know some bad stuff is going to happen to Jou's sister, most likely rape. I'm hoping she at least will run away after she gave Jou the cold shoulder.

This episode hit me so hard... I could barely breath watching these scenes, especially with all the rape going on... It just reminded me too much of my own past.
This series is probably going to make me crumble and break...

Once I saw the police getting confused by Joe's outbursts, I was hoping so much that they would start to investigate the orphanage and at least save Meg.

So far this series is definitely doing a great job at portraying how unfair reality is. Although it pains me to think that this happens on a daily basis and the world just moves on.

Great episode, the good thing about this anime is that it's progressing in events rather nicely, not too fast not too slow. I predicted Meg's reaction towards Joe for her to send him away in order to save him.

Still there was one questionable point in this episode. I'm not expert on how prisons work, but is it really supposed to be that easy to break out? I mean he just ran away straight through the exit and no one of the guards didn't notice? I know they were distracted but still... Well anyway it was awesome scene but it made me question the guards intelligence a little >_>.


MY POINT EXACTLY, that was the only weak part in this episode.

Hopefully she goes to jail. She hit Jou with a vase in front of the police, what the hell? And ugh, can't believe she used to do that to Jou, that's horrendous. And then she seels Megu to another old pervert? People like that shouldn't be allowed to run orphanges....it's sad how the 6 of them helped Jou escape but he was caught and had to go back. Aside from all the sadness, I do agree that it was weird how Jou escaped that easily.

This episode made me so pissed off. Mostly at that dirty old hag. Loving this series so far. His friends took a beating for him so he could escape, but he ended up getting caught :( I thought the scene where his sister said those things to Joe could have been executed better though. Didn't like the soundtrack choice, but then again, I couldn't understand the song. But overall, it was a great episode :)

Shit he was not kidding about those teeth.

That orphanage lady damn that was scary.

That whistling background while turtle told his story was eerie as hell, I feel for the guy.

No wonder Joe is worried o.O

What a sad parting moment and harsh parting words.

The interview at the end was interesting I've never seen that done before in an anime and hope they keep it up.

wow..the sister might be satisfied knowing that joe came back for her but she was so mean to him and on top of that he took a hell of a beating

just for me to get so emotionally frustrated about what happened means the author knows his shit. gonna be a good watch with a satisfying end i hope

Pigs, pigs everywhere. Damn, I am going to state the obvious here (or maybe not) but was she going to be raped by the new step-father? Damn.. that thought alone is disgusting.

By the way it felt weird to have the pinkish interview at the end of the episode. -.-

I can't take shit seriously because it has such a ridiculous caricatures. Only way to make the pedophile adopting Meg more obvious would have been him saying aloud that he was going to stick it in her butt.

That old lady...I absolutely despise her...What a sick fuck.

I was surprised how easily Joe escaped. No prison should allow an prisoner to waltz right on out without the guards noticing.

Poor Joe. He just wanted to be with his sister. :(

You know those guys are bros when they all take a beating just to help one of their buddies escape.

Awesome episode. This anime is great. I know this anime is getting at least an 8 if it keeps this up!

Too much, the abuse is way too much. I don't know if I can make it to the end of the anime since I am already in a non stop crying.
The escape was pretty easy tho. And if Joe was smart enough he shouldn't go the orphanage directly but should try to send a message to his sister some how. I guess he was dying to see her before they take her.

I wonder though why did Joe's sister say that...was it to protect him somehow.

Also, Spoon is a Hiroshima survivor...hmm
