just as good as the first, gaaah this has the potential to be a favourite! liked the idea behind the riddle even though i'd heard it before so knew the answer but meh, not going to hammer it just for that! i love how i don't know how to feel about the two main protagonists (the guys) i mean their terrorists but i don't necessarily dislike them, can't wait for it all the unravel, please oh please just keep this going!!!

also the scene at the lights where he was like 'make a wrong move, and i'll kill you' *whilst smiling at her* was very ominous coming from such a smiley, goofy kinda character, just loved it!

A little late maybe but I do have one complaint that needs voicing.
Anyone who is chosen to be on a team investigating a terrorist bombing knows what thermite and TOR are so it really bugs me when they waste so much time explaining them.


Well, I had to google thermite and phreatic explosion. True, after I read something about it, it came off as weird that the police were like "Eeeh? What's that?" but the common dumb viewer, such as myself, unfortunately needs explanation :-/

Hmm, but still, it seems a little far-fetched that the pillars would melt like that. I mean, they didn't have that many plush toys and the building is huge.


Not every old police officer or enrolled worker should know what this is. And they'll explain in detail how they manage to release the video. So, a mixed info dump/ exposition.

The bombs in the toys weren't needed too much, it was the location, on top of fire hydrants and mixed near other explosive items to create that phreatic explosion. Normal explosions wouldn't work but it was timed and planned to have it work the way it should.

I hope this anime continues to be as interesting as it is right now! It is seriously reaching the Death Note level of awesomeness- and I didn't know that was possible.

If I were to name the 2 things I love in this world that'd be anime and Greek mythology.. so an anime show with greek mythology is pure win!

I think it would've been more awesome if the point of view was with the police you know and then these bombers are the villains

Liked this episode better than the first.
> Cool boyz used janken to decide who is going to plant the bomb in a police station.

But really, 2 kids vs the whole police force? And I don't see how the Greek mythology is even related here, aside from their group name Sphinx. And the 2 kids clearly said it's 2-4-3, not 4-2-3, how the hell did they make that mistake? I wonder why would they pre-announce their crime..

Getting a death note kind of feel from this, with the amazing detective and those who want to achieve their "justice" through violence.

Wow, this Anime is really interesting me :O
This is the first time I have heard of that riddle, but I immediately thought of the answer, which is 'Human'. I didn't know the other answer, though, but I know the summary of Oedipus. I really like Greek Mythology~
That guy is smart. I like him.

"Geez, I'm interested in Greek Mythology, better go find a manga about it!"

Yeah this episode was average. On one side we had the police scenes, which were interesting, and on the other side we had the scenes with MCs, which were bad. The show would have been much better if the police were the main characters.

4/5

Episode in which, after the first impact occurred previously, you can figure out how effective the soundtrack history.
Add to this, then even a good supply from the graphics, the anime looks really good.
The plot is not bad, it seems to retrace the events that occurred on September 11.
The characters seem bad enough to make them stand out in a sea of ​​bad seen to date.
Still to figure out where you will place the role of the girl.
The animations look good.
In the plot we can already see the topic to talk about.
Let's see how it will behave on the third episode.

It was so coincidental that in school, I recently learned about the story of Oedipus and the riddle and having that mentioned in this episode made a great relearning of what I had learned. Great episode so far and it's starting to get intense.

Quite curious about their past and what they're trying to achieve. Maybe revenge on the government who most likely used orphans to turn into "super" soldiers by having them go through a hellish, inhumane training?

Dat sure killed Lisa.


I doubt that Lisa doesn't seem a person that could think about 9 and 12 as Friends either .
She just wanna survive so words if she make any mistake she's dead had higher impact on her.
Lisa mother seems like she lost it completely ...
Riddle was the best part in this episode and it explanation:D

Btw : 2 scenes :
1-First when one of detective speaks about Thermite some Detective almost fall asleep;py
2-Ok there was a bomb incident in city .. 9 enters Police station pass let's say 12 Police offcers and no one inspect him ?

The two teenage villains (or "villains"?) and their motives interest me but I fail to see the point of saving that girl, I really hope there was some practical purpose to it and not some stupid decision to add a wild card to the situation, "will she turn them in, find out next week!"

I really like where the story is going so far. The two main characters are wickedly smart. Moreover, Twelve can change his behavior in an instant: from the childish carefree demeanor to a scary, life-threatening guy. Nine is abnormally calm and expressionless but it seems that he is the most tortured of them two (the nightmares that he continues to see.) As for Lisa, she surprisingly doesn't get on my nerves even though she is exactly the type of character that I can't stand. The plot is very engaging, the soundtracks really help convey the tension and the unknown that surrounds most of the situations. Really looking forward to watching the next episodes.

Still feeling lukewarm. It's like they want us to dislike 9 and 12. I don't see anything redeemable about them yet.
Perhaps they'll play the sympathy card for having a shitty past once they actually explain it.
I guess this was the direction from the beginning.

Poor Lisa is just stuck in the middle and is the victim no matter where she goes.
The character I'm most interested in is Shibazaki. Curious to see some mental battles in which they try to outsmart each other.

Meh. Still have a hard time believing 2 kids could infiltrate and steal plutonium from a nuclear reactor...
Other than that, this second episode was less bombastic than the first, probably because a random police station isn't that impressive a target. I hope this doesn't turn into a formula, with each episode having its new explosion.

The riddle was too familiar but the twist on it alleviated that. My real problem was more how the cops dealt with it. Like, jumping on assumptions on a mere series of 3 numbers like 2-4-3 or 4-2-3 is just plain stupid. What is even more stupid is that assumption being right...
That illogical jump from "yo listen up police people" to "they must be targeting the police" is completely braindead too. lots of thrillers feature criminals toying with the police through messages without targeting them specifically...

Clever plot line. Don't know whether I dislike it or not. The whole terrorism thing isn't really my cup of tea but I can definitely admire the animations and way that the story unravels. Even if it's sadistic and horrible. Even though I hate the sort of reference to 9/11 something about this makes me continue to watch. What is it that's so intriguing?

12 is not nearly as annoying as I thought he'd be. Also, shockingly, I'm not all that opposed to Lisa/12. Normally I hate the obvious main boy/main girl pairings but this one isn't bad.

I think the riddle was a good choice, mainly because of the story behind it. Good episode overall, can't wait to see more.
Although – it would be nice to see Lisa catch a break. Poor girl.

Even though the riddle was pretty basic, the story of Oedipus and the connection to "Sphinx" gave some good insight. I hope things continue to become more and more advanced, especially as the detective gets involved.

I love the pacing, and the intensity. I'm interested in the motive, because the first bombing had no deaths associated with it. Are they just after power and attention? Revenge, but without murder involved? Either way, I'm eager to keep watching.
