----------------------------------------
The recap at the beginning wasn't really necessary... but okay.
Great episode, I really noticed the OST in this one because it was so good? I don't really pay attention much to those but in this episode it's basically perfect imo.
Good to see that the animation's pretty stable now these past few episodes (finally, hopefully consistent till the last two episodes).
I played the VN but I was confused because they changed quite a bit, specially the sequence of events and some details. But I guess what they did was acceptable if this would properly lead us to the concluding episodes. Too bad though because this felt rushed and I wanted to see more of Mink
and Sly
I really liked the ending song! It's "Soul Grace" by VERTUEUX.
Those guard allmates looked like sofa to me..
I think this ep was little boring..
Two more episodes left.. Is this going to end really fast or is there going to be second season?
goddess-sylvana said: there was more Noiz than I have bargained for in that episode, and I'm 100% ok with that
^this
But that was important because he have that important job now.
Don't sleep, keep fixing :c
This episode was good. And music was great as well.
I don't think that I can, again, complain about something other than:
a) how Mink get trought that tiny hole?
b) those... guard dog allmates... killed me. They looked more scary in the VN :C
And I can't stop thinking about Usagimodoki sneaking out of Glitter. Those little jumps on the stairs were so cute ;u;
I am glad I wasn't the only one who wondered how Mink fit through that tiny hole :P
Also, I'm glad we got a nice dose of Noiz at the beginning. It was very refreshing :D I'm also a Clear fan too so I hope that he is better soon.
It was nice to learn about Mink's backstory and technically a little bit about where Aoba's roots began as well.
I have to agree with Karuko1, things are feeling kind of rushed at this point so I hope that they either have a good ending in mind or a second season planned.
Mink seems to have the most plot based story than the others in the anime. So it'll take 2 episodes for his route huh? I'm cool with that, I'm liking this so far.
While Mink is, personally, my least favorite, I was a little disappointed that his episode ended so quickly. I was a little confused that his Scrap scene ended so abruptly; I felt like it could have been really great. I'm wondering if there will be more in the next episode? Also, it's interesting that Sei seems to be in the next episode--I would've expected that in the final one.
Anyway, I agree with everyone that Noiz in this episode was fantastic. I'm interested to see how they'll finish out the story in these last two episodes!
Didn't really care too much for this episode. Maybe because Mink is my least favorite character and I really wish he would just disappear!
The recap in the beginning was just so emotional and it broke my heart having to watch the Clear stuff again.
Hoping the next episode is a lot better!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!
I've been really pleased with the improvement in the quality of animation!! You still get some short clips of derp reminiscent of episode 3 but definitely forgivable with the ratio of good to bad animation :')
I am also in agreement with everyone else regarding Noiz's screentime. WE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH NOIZ. PLEASE GIVE US MORE (the few seconds of Noiz sleeping though, YES YES YES HE WAS SO CUTE AAAHH PLS SEND HELP) and I also liked how they linked Mink's USB program to the worm in Ren together for the story to flow. I feel like Mink's episode was kinda rushy but I feel like they covered most of the stuff that happened in his route the best they could so (Y)
Just one thing though guys
DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE RANDOM TAE-SAN IN MINK'S PAST...???
But Granny wHY ARE YOU THERE
someone please explain this to me

Well in the game, on Mink's route, Aoba said he saw people that looked like them too.
Though I think it's like since Aoba only knows those face, in a place that isn't even real, that's all his subconscious can see. (I guess you can compare it to the movie Inception)
It's the same when we went into the other guys minds.
We couldn't clearly see Koujaku's mother face because Aoba was a small child when he saw her.
Noiz's parents were distorted shadows because Aoba had never seen them before. Same with the two shadows Mizuki were talking to during his scrap.
I really missed the guard's true allmates, dem things were scary in the VN!
This felt even more rushed than usual but I really liked the beginning, it made me feel even more like Aoba has multiple boyfrands. XD
I wonder if Mink is going to die, I was surprised when Scrap ended, maybe there will be more later? I'm a little worried about what they're going to squeeze into the last episodes.
Oh, interesting when Ren pushed Aoba away, makes me wonder what exactly they're going to put in of Ren's route.
(yes, just how did they squeeze through that grate?? :p)
I really liked how they managed all the info in this episode, even if kinda mixing things together with Mink's route (the worse route in my opinion). I liked more this version than the official, that's for sure.
TL;DR (an abridged version)
In the VN, his route was like:
Mink: "I'm pissed with a lot things that happened with me, and planning to fucking kill the big bad in this game by myself"
Aoba: "I just want to do the same thing (except for the killing part), so we are together on this"
Mink: "Whatever, let's go "light" our minds a little in that night club"
-In the Night Club
Aoba: "I'M sooOOOOO CRAZY RIGHT NOW *sleep* *wake up* *almost awake mode* just fuck me already *grabs Mink* RUIN ME FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! "
Mink: "Fuck off, or I will fucking fuck you, ya hear me!?"
Aoba: "Whatever!"
-One rape scene (or maybe...not?) later, the next day
Ren: "Are you okay, Aoba?"
Aoba: "I guess... What the hell happened!?"
Mink: "My masterplan is complete, my group is infiltrated in here and we are ready to go, so you better follow my orders and not fuck things up"
Aoba: "Wut!?"
-In the basement
Mink: "Ok, everyone is here, everything is under control-"
Akushima: "Surprise, you pieces of shit!"
Mink: "Why..."
Akushima: "Kill'em all!!!
Mink: "Shoot, motherfucker!"
Aoba: "Aaaaaah!"
-One fight later
Mink: "My group was captured..."
Aoba: "It was all my fault ;_; "
Mink: "Don't go all crybaby on me, asshole"
Aoba: "Shut up!"
Mink: "That's fucking it, face your back to me and put your hands on the wall"
Aoba: "No!"
Mink: "You are my little bitch now, just shut up and obey! *hit* "
Aoba: "No!"
Mink: " *hit* *hit* *hit* "
Aoba: "Kyaa- No!"
Mink: " *hit a little more* *rape* "
Aoba: "...."
-The next day (Room)
Ren: "...Are you okay Aoba"
Aoba: "Sure.. haha"
-That same day (Stairway)
Mink: "I'm using your Allmate to do dangerous things"
Aoba: "No, he is my friend!"
Mink: "You are trash, your Allmate is trash"
Aoba: "Ren is not trash..."
Mink: " *hit* Shut up and obey!"
Ren: "Just do it already"
Aoba: " *cries* "
-Later
Mink (phone): "I'm handing over someone to you"
Aoba: "What the heck?"
Mink: "Doesn't matter to you"
Aoba: "It's me!?"
Mink: ".... Shut the fuck up! Now wait to the other members response and DO NOT GO OUTSID-"
Aoba: " *runs away outside* "
Mink: "Goddammit!!"
-Some "hunt and rape" events later
Aoba: "(I'm in my room... and Mink is watching me sleep) *blush* "
Mink: " *Touch his hair* (I heard this little cunt hate this lol)"
Aoba: "(He raped me 3 times and spanked me quite a bit, but maybe he is not a bad guy at all) *officially mind-broken* "
-In the next day
Ren: "Are u daijobu now, Aobs?"
Aoba: "Yup..."
Mink (watching TV): "That motherfucker took mah nakama-tachi... I'm going"
Aoba: "I'm going too"
Mink: "You better"
-One cool invasion with a motorcycle later
Toue: "All your minds are belong to me"
Aoba: "I got a flashback!"
Mink: "I got a headache!"
Aoba: "And now I am going inside YOU! >:D "
-One disturbing scrap sequence later (TnC True Blood opening, basically)
Mink: "Gonna kill Toue. Also, you smells like death. I smell like death too, ya know..."
Aoba: "(I'm not confortable about where is this going)"
Mink: "To the Minkcycle! (To the Batmobile soundtrack) *fails miserably trying to turn it on* Shit!"
Akushima: "Surprise motherfuckers!!
Mink: "For fuck's sake... Where are all the people I recruited earlier"
Akushima: "Behind those people with big guns, serving us as hostages"
Aoba (God mode): "None of you can move!"
Akushima: "What the...!"
Mink: "Spank them like I always do to you people! *go upstairs with Aoba* "
-Upstairs
Aoba: "Lol, the motorcycle is back"
Mink: "And you are going back with it, alone, cause I'm too badass and you would just make things difficult"
Aoba: "But..."
-One dialogue about being alive or not later
Mink(boss fight): "Toue!!"
Toue(boss fight): " *usual elitist trollface* "
-Meanwhile, motorcycle
Aoba: "Doges!"
Ren: "Family!"
Doges: "Lazors!!"
Motorcycle: "Abunai! VRUMMM!"
Ren: "Insert me!"
Aoba: "Ren! ;_; *insert* "
Doges: "Not... enough... mana...*RIP* "
Aoba: "Stairs!"
Akushima: "Surprise!"
Aoba: "Fuck!"
Mink's Gang: "Abunee!"
Aoba: "Abunee!"
-Meanwhile, boss battle
Mink: "Too strong..."
Touei: "I'm fucking handsome"
-Meanwhile, corridors
Akushima: "IMMA FIRING WITH MAH MEGAPHONE!!"
Mink's gang: "Abunee!"
Aoba: "Going upstairs!"
Mink's gang: "K"
Akushima: "ORAORAORAORAORA!!"
Aoba: "MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA Motorcycle... Jump! *jump on Akushima*
Akushima: "U dead!"
Aoba: "Don't move"
Akushima: "Fuck! (His stand can stop time)"
-Boss Battle
Mink: "I'm weak"
Touei: "I'm awesome"
Mink: "Just kidding *knife* "
-And everything explodes
-Everyone escapes, including Akushima
-Mink disappeared, but returns in the end
-Aoba truly respects the man who raped and spanked his own gang and him for their own good (!?) and they all live happy forever and ever.
omg what what thne episode was good!! the animation wasnt that bad ahahahaBUT WHY IN THE ANIME mink looks much older? LOL robot clear with bandages XDDD, next epi, mink, ren and trsh twins?! mehhehehe yes getting better than i tho, nice!
Good ep, I'm actually impressed that even though they're compromising on details of the routes they're managing to move the plot forwards at a good pace.
I guess if I was disappointed by one thing... It was the dog robots. Were the VN ones too hard to animate or something?
Wait so Clear didn't actually die in the last episode? That kinda made all of the drama from last episode unimportant. Didn't expect him to actually be alive.
Anyway, the pacing was...weird in this episode. Regardless, I still liked it. I hope Ren is okay after that program thingy :(
On a side note, the amount of Shoujo elements in this anime is overwhelming!

I think it should be thought as a good thing that people forget that Clear is an android. Since all he wants is to be human...

Ack I feel so stupid! I totally forgot he wasn't a human! Yeah, I guess that is a good thing...although wasn't he breaking apart in episode 9 (like, his skin was crumbling off of him)?

Ugh I really hate this one guy per episode format. A few other otome game anime adaptions are ruined for me because of this. I understand the reason behind this but I still don't like it.
Clear is still alive.. -.-

a) how Mink get trought that tiny hole?
I am glad I wasn't the only one who wondered how Mink fit through that tiny hole :P
Oh, so Clear didn't die last episode? Kind of a letdown ... :S
So Mink's past was pretty rough with Toue killing everyone for their "secret". Not to mention him tying himself up in chains ... woah there >_<
ED for this episode was pretty cool and fit him well. Wait so uh ... is this it for him? O_O I mean this episode didn't really do anything at all ... Aoba was just like "live, don't die". What about them being in the Tower??? D: I mean it sounded like Ren next in the preview so is this part over? That would be disappointing :(
