We get to see more about Maki's pain/suffering about her past.
Well it's a good thing that the others saved Maki from those Journalists jerks!
4/5.

it's an episode mostly focusing on honoka chan. she's obviously suffering because she's lonely. it's explained that she's created a manga together with her friend. it was popular, however her friend somehow died and the heartache she became because of this has now been shared between all of the seven deadly sins. that's the episode in a nutshell.

i guess if the sole purpose of this anime is to show us how their bonds get stronger while they come to learn each other better, then this episode should be okay.

the animation on the other hand was superb.

"The Forgetful Priss"
While she may also be talking about something related to her, mainly she is talking about Maki here. There is no deeper meaning. Priss refers to an uptight person who thinks they are too good for everyone or everything. We all know that its Maki. And she is trying to forget the past with Ruru. Right after this she says, "Lets use her" and then the whole experiment stuff with Maki and the others happens. There certainly isn't a new kiznaiver as some ppl are suggesting.

In some ways I relate to Maki's "losing a friend" part, at least figuratively (more like having a friend die as far as likability and niceness goes, a friend turning back on me instead of literally dying, but it carries a lot of pain), so this episode could be described as a bit "my kokoro just brokoro". The emotional pain aspect addition certainly makes this series an interesting watch, though, shifting the focus to that instead of solely the physical was a better choice on the series part.

My only complaint is the hanging, and the fact that the next episode'll be a continuation, but it's pretty difficult to sum up the entirety of this backstory and development in one episode without rushing it, so I'm appreciative that they're actually taking time (although, for more indepth development for everyone I'd like if they did this as a 24 ep series, but these days, you never see those anymore).

Was an interesting episode, there are points when I am super close to really really really disliking some of the characters, but Katsuhira's disappointment in Noriko and that shudder was fantastic (I needed that to happen). I'm quite a bit more gung-ho on this show now

Mm, entertaining show so far but nothing really surprising. Familiar character archetypes and relationship dynamics that don't really go beyond cliches. The animation is wonderful though.

Sonozaki got told. That heroine addict.
Maybe now she'll realize her experiment is shit.
Finally we get to see more shades of more characters, I approve.

The yuri is real! Both Maki x Ruru and the manga they created.

Tenga is awesome, haha. "Just what are you doing to my homie!"

Looking forward to next episode, Maki is gonna move on from her past (and show some more cute side of her, can't wait!)

I'm really enjoying this anime, the only thing I can hope for is that they make nendoroids of these characters because I'm in love with the cast.

But she would probably tell me I'm disgusting. Insult me more senpai~~

Ooh, I thought it was gonna be about a sextape for some reason. totally disappointed

This episode was aight, mainly because it was focusing on the only character that showed a hint at having interesting backstory and inner conflicts to explore. Not sure what Kacchon meant when he said he was disappointed in Sonozaki (not sure he himself knew what he meant either). The way the overall theme of connecting with others through emotional pain a.k.a empathy still feel way too on the nose to really have any value other than on a surface level; hopefully next part of Maki's character arc will change that.

It's weird how chill everyone is around Noriko when she literally has helped people kidnap and torture them. Shouldn't they hate her and be afraid of her?
She probably has some reason for acting like a Rei Ayanami clone or whatever, probably being controlled, but it just seems weird the other characters are fine with her.

Maki's friend was suicidal it seems. Perhaps always "testing" their "friendship".

That was a good ending. Katsuhira seems to be gaining care for others and as a result, making different conclusions about life than in the beginning. Good character development.

How did they know Ruru's name? She was never mentioned in this episode, but towards the end Kacchon mentions her.

Man I feel bad for Maki, her friend seemed suicidal, she probably wanted to save her but couldn't and that turned her into the jaded person she is now. I think Nori is doing something she doesn't want to. I also think Nori and the MC have a past, those words about disappointed seemed to effect her.

What a self-important friend you got there Maki.

Props to Katsuhira for that cold burn towards Sonozaki.

I guess Ruru pushed her luck while testing her friendship with Maki by attempting suicide for the last time. She's very frustrated and Nico pointing out that her despair could've been 6 times more powerful it it weren't for them was sad.

Have a bun to calm your buns~ Kacchon's disappointed in you...

So her name is Ruru. She's bat shit crazy.
You son of a bitch. How dare you grab Honoka's leg.
Dat manga plot.
Oh, those 3 girls are cute.
You assholes. Leave Honoka alone.
LMAO at Tenga calling Honoka his homegirl.
Saibaman.
Dat disdain.

A decent episode. More insight into Maki`s past. A decent character driven episode is more than welcome but I am still more interested about Katsuhira/Sonozaki`s past. Seems like there is something to be discovered.

His words were pretty harsh. Mainly because most of the time he is just emotionless and does not care about anything. Well done scene. WP Trigger.

Not bad. We got a little insight of Honokas past even if I don't really know what happened to her friend. I don't believe that Honoka killed her or something like that. Tenga is definitely right. The pain in your heart is often much more painful as anything else. Didn't expect Yuta to be this smart and finding out that Honka was one of the 2 girls who made this manga.

The guys from the television were extremely intrusive. Good thing Katsuhira and the others found Honoka so fast and could help her.

I absolutely didn't expect these words from Katsuhira towards Sonozaki. I hope next episode will show more of the past of Honoka.

Animation the only thing saving this at the moment.

Such a cool concept but the story is so fucking shit.

This episode was quite good. I have a strange feeling that her friend killed herself and that she feels like she was the reason why she did kill herself. I look forward to finding out more about their relationship and if the manga covered that relationship.

I do think this show really wants me to think character > plot but a relationship development is always welcome especially between Maki and Yuta

I really liked this one. Though I can't say they really saved her, as they just chased off a video crew more the anything else. Will be curious how it turns out since their emotions are so intertwined you can't really hide feelings anymore.
