I was thinking how nice of a change it would've been to see someone finally decide to not use the doll but then they go with that bullshit ending. The other girl became batshit crazy out of freaking nowhere.
At least the girl changed her mind at the end (though she was still forced into the contract). Sadly, I think many people would pull the red string and make this agreement for simple, petty revenge.
I actually like this anime, even though it's repetive and has some flaws, but this episode was just stupid. First the motive in this case.. because she was a fake friend you want to send yourself and her to hell ? Really Minami ? She didn't do it in the end and even forgave Shiori for what she did. What came next was just unbelieveable. I could't understand Shiori at all, a few seconds of peace and she went into full bitch mode again. WHY ?
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
Hopefully they can be friends in hell now :P But yeah like others pointed out the case was plain out stupid. Just because eveyone is ignoring her and her ex-best friend she decides to send her best friend to hell? like what the fuck? Ok lets see... Do you really think that your life will be better if you send the only goddamn person who even cared about you? Do you think that you will become more popular? No. She just wants to send her best friend to hell to see her suffer. That's pretty evil and sadistic nature of Minami there. Man if anything Minami deserves the immediate hell...
The twist was interesting though we finally know what happens if someone else pulls the thread and for the first time the contacter didnt get what he/she wanted. Usually they are at least satisified with the result, not this time.
Perhaps Ai wanted to let things go as they are without interfering is because she herself doesnt know what friend is and secretly wants a good friend? The anime is full of mystery so far.
Anyway the whole case is straight out bullshit but the twist and we get to understand Ai a bit more and its not the same repetitive stuff SO i'll give it a 8/10
Minami was the greater evil but Shiori dethroned her at the end lol. Not because Shiori didn't care about Minami's fate, but because she wished to kill an entire group of her friends for an even sillier reason than Minami's.
This was a really strange episode. out of the japanese society this surly looks ridicolous as a reason. then on the other hand how many people do something in a raptus ...
shiori sure was a bad friend in first place i would have given her the middle finger - sry
ok first girl wants to send her ex-friend to hel cause of the dumbest reason cause she replaced her with more popular friends and then the ex-friend nakes her pull the string by force, this is messed up in so meany ways
reasons in previous episodes i didn't find dumb but more understandable but this is really dumb reason
These are some of the most shallow girls I've seen. Sent to hell for ignoring her? And SHiori was no better wanting to curse her "new" friend by having Minami sacrifice herself. Well they are both damned to hell for their own stupidity.
Ohhh nice, I loved this. Ai actually didnt say that line again! This episode was good. Looks like we have another main character, that photographer and maybe her "daughter"?.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!
I can only shake my head and say, kids these days.. Stupid girl wants to banish someone over trivial problems like this, no wonder hell girl's so fed up by the mails she received. If there are no repercussions for sending people to hell, I bet that selfish girl wouldn't even reconsider her actions.
While I can appreciate it on paper from breaking traditional structure regarding how things played out step by step with a twist, this episode was an absolute joke and made both Minami and Shiori look like absolute brainlets, particularly with the stuff at the end. I was stunned by the stupidity I saw on my laptop with how Shiori acted just out of nowhere like that + the Minami motive made her seem like a toddler more than anything. Grow up, the way they stared down each other the entire time was just so, so bad. This whole episode was a gargantuan failure.
An almost happy ending. She probably should have been a bit clearer that pulling the string would only send her to hell, not her classmates. Still, pretty messed up relationship they had.
This episode made no sense. What the heck is up with Shiori ghosting her friend out of nowhere, then she's rejected from her group, so she makes up with Minami, but then gets crazy when Minami doesn't want to pull the thread. The thread was for her (Shiori), not the entire class. And even after hearing what happens to the thread-puller, she still makes her pull it?
Okay this episode and the comments they to make Shiori a bad one I don’t understand why the episode decided to make her as a bad person especially her want to send whole class to hell make ZERO SENSE how we came to this point. Yea she ignored Minami so what? She didint bully her,didn’t ruin her life but Minami literally wanted send her to hell for. If someone sends me hell for ignoring them I’m gonna crawl back from there to send them to hell. Like wtf.
I did not like this episode. Why in the world did Shiori want to force the thread off after making up their friendship. Did she still have a grudge against Minami? Her character "crash out" felt forced but then again her personality could have been the reason her group of friends replaced her in the trip group. And poor Minami. So blind and stupid.
