Those tears ;.;

But ya, Kiri needs to wake the hell up now. The fight was okay I guess with the OST. Oh good fight Romeo, glad he got injured in this fight as I felt he kinda deserved it:


So much feels this episode. The dance in the night was kawaii though imo.

She almost woke him, but that whip... It's nice that "ugly" hair woke him again. Wow, that looks hurt.

Wow, rule book owner set them so that he can kill main guy?

Again with the licking and drooling! Who creates that much saliva...

Good episode... I didn't think Kiri would really snip Romeo's mouth. That scene was pretty grim.

Sweet ending, dancing under the stars.

LOL, I was expecting Kiri to try andcontinue stripping Iwai when he had her down. The fight was okay. I was sort of expecting more from it. That ED was fantastic; I'm glad that they played the whole song. It really fitted that scene in the end with Kiri and Iwai stargazing.

I thought this episode had way too much silly stuff going on. I mean, really? She wants to kill Iwai-chan but, even though it would probably be extremely easy after she successfully pushes her in a lake, kidnaps her and she can control every single man out there... but she actually lets her escape easily to just threaten her outside, and decides that "breaking her spirit" is an important part to her plan...

I get she's a sadist, but... really? Before killing Iwai-chan, it's more important to ask the person who is closest to the little girl and therefore the most likely to break free of her control, to cut. her. hair. yeah... sounds like a good idea.

And I thought her backstory was also very silly. I mean, sure, it's not fun to be somewhat rejected by her peers, but that didn't scream "thouching" to me lol. She just ended up sounding whiny cause she didn't get to play the princess lol...

And I was disappointed that the president was the M. I knew he woulnd't be a strong S villain like I wished he would, but to think he would just be an average M side-kick instead!

Not even sure why everyone's hating on him, he's just following the mastermind b!tch.

You know the thing I like the most about Crime Edge is that it doesn't treat you like an idiot. The twist with the Author/Instead of the episode was something that caught me by surprise, but honestly the opening and the way the actual Author was acting last episode should have clued me in. Seigi was another good twist although I saw that one coming.

Anyone agree with that?

EDIT: Oh and the chemistry between Kiri and Iwai is still golden.

The backstory of Madame Shihoudou (Pet Whip's Original) is also interesting, although it's only a fleeting information from Kiri's narration.

From Professor's story, they don't die from being beaten, instead they die of sickness and malnutrition. And now, we know that they're not being chained, at least not physically. Yet nobody tried to escape.
She had a basement full of victims with Stockholm syndrome. :P

I suspected that Seigi wasn't after the bad guys, but after the one with the most blood thirst, which would be Kiri. He just didn't look like a good guy to me. And no doubt in my mind that the policewoman is his Instead, who is the only who can break his concentration and endure being hanged for long enough for the spell to wear of. However, neither side seem to be aware of each other's roles and keep chasing each other like cat and mouse.

To be honest, I hoped Iwai would've kissed Kiri before he'd really turn on her, but I guess seeing her tear-stricken kinda worked, too. Good that Kiri and Iwai cleared up their little misunderstanding, though all of this might not have happened if he had stuck around for a little bit longer, and didn't assume the worst. I laughed when they started fighting after he broke free of the trance.

I'm quite certain it's related to who does the shouting.

If you hadn't noticed, the policewoman follows him around all the time, and the previous episode suggested that there's more between these two than they're both aware of.

Case in point, he likes hanging 'criminals' with his Rulebook, she likes the feeling of slowly suffocating (by being hanged). Looks like a match made in heaven to me. However, they're on opposite sides of each other, so rather than his Instead, she acts as his foil. It wouldn't surprise me if part of this show will deal with getting those two together.

Isn't the "Waltz under the stars" at the end lovely?
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

That is insulting to Mirai Nikki.

I don't find the fight scenes impressive at all. The super fast exchange that ended up cutting her leg was okay, but they try too hard to make him super fast. And then the quick, blurry cross screen slashes are just stupid. I was pretty happy when he cut his cheek open even though they censored the hell out of it, but then Romeo's calmly TALKING? With his cheek cut in half?? No sir..bullshit..

The show kills the dark elements it entices the viewer with by deciding not to take the darkest directions when it matters(killing the other authors that intend to kill Iwai) I mean I get that these ones were high school kids and they're at this retreat, but I'm pretty sure subtlety went out the window with the zombified kids, especially the ones cut by crime edge. And come on, the girl tries to get Iwai raped before killing he ryet she and Romeo get redeemed so easily, it's just..silly

He's after the bad guys alright, but in his own judgment :D
If he doesn't consider someone to be evil enough to be punished with death (such as Kozakura's wild driving), the rope will break before killing the convict. But Kozakura's the only one who would faint (in ecstasy) in the process. Other less guilty victims will still be conscious, although they wont be in good condition either.

So many problems, -_-.
1. The judgement book's interpretation of "justice" is ridiculous
2. If you're going to spare her life at least take the whip away dumbasses
3. That complete cheek cut didn't bleed much or impair him
4. How did he disable all those zombies without injury as serious if not more so than the side-kick
5. The fight scene was lacking particularly bad in this episode

Really disappointing episode in general, hopefully it gets better. It had quite a bit of potential at the start too : (.

My thoughts exactly. I wasn't a huge huge fan of Mirai Nikki for various reasons but the way they handled the drama and action with the setting was very good. Dansai Bunri, on the other hand, has no guts. A fight of young people who hold weapons of serial killers sounds like a really cool, dark story, but then... They don't kill anyone. Are the Authors even trying to kill Iwai? As of now not even half of the Authors seem to want to kill her to get their wish granted. And even when they do want to kill the little girl, they get pwned, have a quick lame backstory shoved in our faces and get forgiven right away.

I found this episode to be pretty lame really. The vice president's background didn't invoke any sympathy but just served to make her look even more pathetic. Plus, the twist with Romio was kind of stupid what was the point in them continuing the act last episode when no one was around other than misdirection that really doesn't make any sense in context of the characters? I don't think there really was any.

The fight was pretty lame as well and I think it would have been better if Kiri would have just snapped out of it after Iwai got him to listen the first time. Instead there wasn't much tension the second time because we already knew he could break out of it.

So lame fight, lame villain make for a lame episode. I'd rather see more of justice guy. Although so far he's not all that interesting, a pretty flat stereotype.

Justice dude is such a traitor, he's a lot more evil than I thought.
The way Kiri cut Romio in the cheek just looked extremely painful, I haven't seen something that painful for quite a while.
And this was the "weirdest" episode so far imo, but the "weirdness" does make this quite interesting.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

OK first of all it was better than the last episode in my opinion. More licking licking, i don't know why they thought that was necessary. At least Kiri came to his senses and cut people up. Damn the cheek was awesome and he also got a nasty slash on the Vice president. I also take back what i said the judge guy is not as good a character as i thought.
