| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I don't really understand the role of Shizue with the overall plot.The doctor is involved with a lot of the characters and it seems that her injections have an odd effect.Also,I wonder what's Manaka's story.She looks kind of grown-up for a 5 years old. |
| "This Forest isn't going to reveal all its secrets for the likes of you." |
| Something wrong with the female doctor.She said the almost same thing back a few episode ago ~~~ -.- .What happen to da town!!! oh dear,they keep on jumping from past to present really makes me confuse . this arc is connected to the "embryo erosion" vol.I guess more answer will be found there if I read it ^^ |
| I liked this episode a lot. The story telling method of this series seems to be growing on me. :) However, I can't really understand the significance of this episode in the series. |
| Very nice episode! Arcanus said: I liked this episode a lot. The story telling method of this series seems to be growing on me. :) However, I can't really understand the significance of this episode in the series. I agree completely... |
| The way the show presents itself was confusing at first, but now i'm used to it. I don't see the significance either but it will probably make sense later on. |
| This episode was the weakest of the series so far I thought. It wasn't bad, just okay. I'm sure we'll get more of an idea of Shizue's significance, or at least the significance pf this episode in the coming episodes. |
| That ending makes any episode so much better. |
| Aww come on, this episode was all over the place, are they even trying anymore or is it pretentious bullshit every episode now! |
| "Nothing is sweeter than your smile" |
| This episode seem to deal with a similar issue as the first episode... Interesting... |
| That doctor again, she's real bad news. Must have something to do with the drug that the fake cop mentioned. |
 |
| Shizue~ :( |

| This is more confusing than Rahxephon, or maybe I am dumb. |

| This episode is a heavy contrast to the previous one...that I really don't know what to say. Probably because it is directed in a new approach unlike previous ones (which flashes across two juxtaposing scenarios again and again, take for instance the previous episode's policeman scene versus Suema+Touka scene; and episode 2's Jonouchi feasting on spiders scenes versus Nagi's attempt to source out Manticore scenes), which flashes back and flashes forward multiple times. As such, I guess the temporal judgement of viewers gets clouded...but even fixing them in order still kind of makes this episode more of a standalone episode talking about a mother-daughter relationship that was compromised as a result of the Manticore's killing spree. Oh and another conjecture (less than episode 5, but well): the link with this and the previous episode is that the father is most likely Morita-san, that 360-degree head twisting policeman. Correct me if I am wrong. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| Pacing is slowing a bit down here, but well still interesting! |
 |
| Butterfly girl's mom. And Panuru? maybe? not sure... Keeping track of the names is HARD to do. |

| Weird to get an épisode out of the background story after one focused on telling us about the slim thread tying everything. But it's reassuring (I feared that it would center on the background problem) and it was about a nice theme (even though it was handled very conveniently) 5/5 Urufuzu_rein said: The doctor is involved with a lot of the characters and it seems that her injections have an odd effect. Obviously, it couldn't be without effect, now that we know what she is doing and what the injections are. |
| The doctor is evil, looks like she was killed. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 I believe in freedom of expression. |
| This episode doesn't seem to have much to do with anything else and so becomes a short film about a widow whose daughter dies (she could have died in an accident rather than being murderered and that would even ironically tie into the mother's insurance job). Episode 4 was somewhat similar but this was much better done than that. |
| That was another part of this masterpiece, loved the violence and horror. The sound design is fucking amazing as usual. I can't help but notice how well done these characters are. They seem very simple, yet real. Great. |
 |
| What was this shitty episode? It had literally no story progression or make sense at all |
| شقایق، اینجا من، خیلی غریبم |
| another great episode. i really like how eerie & uncomfortable this show can be |
| Another side story again. This time with a girl getting mad that her mom found someone else after her dad died. It was a bit slow for me. |
 |
| making the serial killer doctor a woman is the least believable part of this show |
