| Eh, didn't like this episode too much. I didn't really feel anything when he died. |

| yay more plot but I wish I understood what was really going on... |

| Wow this was a really good episode! Somehow by the end I had tears in my eyes. I really wasn't expecting that. This series is really getting good! Of course, it already was rather great. |
| I think that was one of best episodes so far, if not best.Totsuka seemed to be a nice guy, too bad someone killed him.I wonder if it was really Shiro, though i don't think so.Theres is this other guy with long-white hair, who is imo more suspicious. 4/5 i hope for more eps like this. |

feedmelol said: no, the reflection is thereThe one thing that confuses me is that in the preview u can see that in the reflection as they are running, shiro's reflection on the window behind them isn't there... like he doesnt exist.  |
| There might just yet be hope for this anime. It's starting to get a little more interesting. |
| That ending song just broke my heart ;v;) A really good episode. ;v; |
 |
| Actually enjoyed this episode mostly due to the flashbacks. |
 |
| The Red King and his team is what keeps me watching this anime...and since this episode focused on them, I absolutely loved it. Easily best episode yet. Can't wait to know who the hell Shiro is?! |
 |
| Kuroh in the beginning of the show: "Im going to kill you because you look somewhat similar to the guy in this video" Kuroh in this episode: "I need to make sure who you are first, as pertaining to my late masters words." Really? Really? Well, it seems like the plot is FINALLY starting to get a bit interesting with the protaganist being a fake person or something. There's a tiny thread barely keeping this from being dropped. Am I like the only person who didnt really care about Totsuka death? I mean sure it's sad, but we've only known the character for what, 10 minutes? Its hard to get attached to a character in 10 minutes. I will say seeing Yata cry made me a bit sad, but otherwise I don't understand why everyones making such a big deal out of it. Have you all read the manga and got attached to his character in it or something? 0 Feels were given. Edit: I just read over some more of the earlier posts, talking about how this made them cry a ton, ect. ect., and my question is how?! I mean I cry over things that deserve it, like the Clannad series, Ano Hana, Ano Natsu de Matteru, Angel Beats, and 5 centimeters per second, and I've cried in some where it's not really trying as hard, such as Code Geass and Gurren Lagann, but this? How does this make you sob? I guess this show is too hit or miss, and it missed me. |

 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| Well Qui Kuro clearly stated that he was only going to kill Yashiro if he was truly sure that the colorless king was evil. He has spent enough time with Yashiro to know that he isn't evil. also lots of buttmad in that post. |

| Wow this show is really starting to get interesting now. Started to feel a bit for Homra losing their boy, and the song at the end was a good touch. I'm still predicting that Madoka-like ending where we don't really find out the truth until the very last episode and Yashiro is gonna have superpowers and kill everyone. I wonder if they're ever gonna explain this whole "Weismann level" thing and why Mikoto's is reaching its limit. |
| A match made in heaven set the fires in hell |
| Looks like my theory was right about people not remembering him when they're not near him. Or is neko.. |

Code Geass isn't even sad, same with Gurren Lagann. |

Code Geass, and to an extent Gurren Lagann, appeal to the sense of tragedy. This tries to do the same, but the problem I had is it didn't give you time to connect to the characters. Gurren Lagann gave you around 10ish Ano Hana? That one's just a tearjerker, a glorious, glorious tearjerker. But fine, it's all subjective, and I acknowledge that. But there is always a line of logic behind it all, and I would like to know your opinion on why you/other people find this so sad. |

But as for why other people might find it sad, maybe it's due to how they get attached to the characters who like Totsuka, so seeing those characters sad makes them feel sad as well? Just a thought. |

I've only ever cried on a series like Angel Beats, Air. Currently watching Kanon and Clannad (Soon). I'll prob tearjerk that too. |

endlessabyss said: Can you guys get back on topic? We're here to talk about episode six of the K anime, not some other anime. If you like to talk about other anime, discuss it on your own terms, i.e. via pm. We're discussing how this episode wasn't sad. Get off your high horse. |
|
| *looks at above posts* what makes me sad was shiro, not totsuka. it's not sad enough to make me cry. for some reason i don't feel anything about totsuka.... and i agree that it's all subjective. anyway i didn't feel sad even a bit at Ano Hana and 5cms... |
Konja6 said: MoonFox said: MidnightPride said: How?  Different colored eyes..color hair..hair length also.. Undercover disguise I guess? Maybe only the bartender knows who she is. Only logical thing I can think of. This anime is getting more and more confusing.. I want an answer who/what the heck Yashiro is already >< I think the eye color and hair color are different by red light. She has long hair, but her hair is tied (so it looks shorter). Yes, the bar has red light that makes everything look redder. But I don't know where she keeps all the hair. |
| 5 cm?? seriously? ppl called it epic but i called it FAIL. |
 |
| I'm quite intrigued by this episode. It seems that it's getting to hold on something. It's starting to go on it's way. Loved the whole episode though it full of flashbacks but at least i know the backgrounds of each character. The only thing about this one is that it makes me more confused as it gets to the point lol Anyways i wanna know if this is based off from some orig material??? I thought this was done off from scratch (means it's not adaptation or something) What's the manga for? |
| ^ no it is an anime original |

I was just about to drop it when it didn't show any potential on moving (the plot) I wanna know if Seri was connected to Homra in a way?

| My hopes about this show rose a lot with this episode. The story is back on track and it seems that this is only the start. Episode 6/13, I wonder how big the actual story is with, the current pace is really slow. The next episode should be really good so I'm looking forward to it. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| LEGASP seri is SOOO pretty with her hair down. why does she normally put it up???? |
zoze said: 5 cm?? seriously? ppl called it epic but i called it FAIL. Maybe you just have to have been in a similar situation as the characters in 5cm per second to truly appreciate it.. |
If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| Great episode. |
| Ah... finally the plot's thicken. Now, this anime is better. I just can't understand how could they waste their time in first episodes. Well yeah, they still have some episodes to make it really good. And, Neko knows something. I should have realized it sooner.. Obviously, more twists are coming. petalshreds said: what makes me sad was shiro, not totsuka. it's not sad enough to make me cry. for some reason i don't feel anything about totsuka.... and i agree that it's all subjective. anyway i didn't feel sad even a bit at Ano Hana and 5cms... Yes, Shiro's condition makes me sad. But if only they introduced Totsuka earlier, I would feel really sad for him. |
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live. |
| And the plot thickens. I have a feeling that it won't disappoint. Still, I kind of want Yashiro to not just be a garbage character when it comes to battles... |
After watching this episode... my heart... it hurts.... I feel your pain Yata...I was literally crying my eyes out by the end of this episode. Becoming emotionally attached to Totsuka by reading the manga and listening to the Radio Dramas made watching him die even more horrible. He was so sweet and adorable in the manga. To anyone who hasn't read the manga, I suggest you read it. It's called K: Memory of Red. And about Mikoto and Totsuka. They both seemed really close, didn't they? How they interacted with each other and everything... Did anyone else notice that he got the same piercing as Totsuka on his ear after he died? Just an observation. I believe that the subject of Mikoto loosing control of his power and going berserk has been hinted since episode 3. As shown in his nightmare, the whole city was destroyed and his hand was charred from overusing his sanctum. Him having a flashback where Totsuka tells him that his powers were made to protect in his dream made me think that Totsuka was possibly the one that kept Mikoto under control all these years. But now that he's gone, how will he control himself anymore? Maybe we will get to see him go berserk later on. And when Totsuka starting singing it was just so... beautiful. Everyone in Homra was smiling, even Mikoto. It was just so perfect. Homra just isn't the same without Totsuka around. Whoever... WHOEVER killed Totsuka. I don't care if it's Shiro or Neko or... I DON'T care. Whoever killed Totsuka must die in the most painful and slow way possible.  R.I.P Totsuka-san <3 *crawls back into corner and cries* |
 I’m just trying to be okay. Some days it’s harder than others. I hide away the most real parts of myself from everyone else. The emotions that I try to escape from. The constant pain I feel. The nightmares that keep me awake at night. It hurts sometimes... knowing that the world is continuing happily all around me while I continue to drown in alcohol and slowly die inside myself. |
