AshtonClaude said: can someone tell me why in the 1st episode, Nio isnt sure which one is the target, Nio even suspected that the gift from Haru is a gps tracker...But in eps 2 suddenly Nio somehow is the host and declaring that Haru is the target, what the hell ? The last scene of EP 1 indicated that only Nio was informed who is the target. I guess that Nio becomes the host because she was a student of that high school before "Kurogumi" started. |

| “We see what we want to see” |
| very good episode and the plot is starting to get interesting. I don't know why but I suspect that Haru is faking it.. |

| This show is better than I thought it'd be. Timing for sound effects REALLY adds to the tension. Not to mention, other than all the assassins being female, the reasons behind the story are surprisingly solid. One family (who owns the school) wants to find the best assassin to take out the last remaining member of a rival family. I don't mind this setup, and it works great. |

nrtashi said: Yvese said: Let the yuri begin. Well, it is called "yuri" because of romantic feelings the two female mains have for each other, but I don't think there will be much ecchi in this one. Stripping Haru to show her scars was NOT "fanservice". It's no more "yuri" then Madoka. Madoka doesn't have a yuri tag. This does. It is going to have more than just implied feelings, I'm sure. I hope so anyway. I suppose MAL could have just fucked the tags. |

| Poison? Seriously? Isuke you must take some serious lessons from Ezio, honey. ;-) |
| yup this episode was way better than the first imo the part of being a survival game sort of reminds me mirai nikki |
 |
| I'm still really skeptical on Mr. Mizoragi being a "regular" within class black. Azuma stated how he got behind her without showing any presence. It seems he's just hiding something for some reason in my opinion. Also, I guarantee both Nio and Haru are probably telling the truth. Just different perspectives and what they want to believe of what happened. I'm still leaning towards Haru is jut manipulating Azuma intentionally or not |

| Nio mentioned that Haru actually killed her family, truth or lie? I hope it's a lie. But if it was truth then this just makes things better. This episode did feel a bit rushed. They didn't explain how Isuke was going to kill Haru. Not too sure if I'm satisfied with the reason Tokaku gave to Haru on why she protected her. Maybe it's like, she woke up like that one dude who employed her said. |
| That was pretty intense with the music helping to build things up. Better than the first episode. |

Please stop saying anything anymore, you are spoiling the fun and mystery that will probably keep some of us thinking. Let the people find out for themselves, would you? Not a fan of this kind of series and characterization (still think they're try-hard), but I'll admit, Tokaku was pretty damn cool when she said she defects to Haru's side, the BGM was cool too. P.S. Female assassin population = 100% so far. Why wasn't there any male assassin? Is it just a setting, or is there something else about it? |

| If next episode doesn't pick up the pace, I think I'm dropping. I just want to see fight scenes. Everything else is too ridiculous and not taken seriously enough for me to really be interested. I annoys me how Japanese people speak in third person. Do they do that in real life? Or is that just a stupid "cute" anime thing, like saying "desu" or whatever? |
 |
| Even better than the first episode! Enjoying this a lot! Different ED's each ep huh? Last ED was pretty cool though :|, but this was beautiful. |

| Hmmm... gone downhill already. 6.5/10 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| 5/5 I'm a little puzzled, I'm not happy about this episode at 100%. Plot a bit hasty and poorly managed, I think. Narrative that I do not like for a couple of doubts, but when you put anxiety lingers in showing the faces of the characters. Oh my God, what are bad! ^ ^ " Inukai is really sick ... O_o Design that is influenced by a slight fall sometimes, even animations. Characters not bad, but perhaps a little hasty admission of all in just two episodes. I look forward to the next installment to better understand the mysteries not yet revealed. Haru still hides many mysteries ... |
 |
| Now the real battle starts... |
 |
| Again I didn't like the episode |
| I'm liking this for some reason, some really silly comedy in here too. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| gosh so many possibilities and ways in which this show could go! i probably enjoy this more than i should, but who cares its entertaining... some of the characters have caught my eye but knowing my luck they won't get much screen time! I find it odd the teacher has no clue what's going on here but he does seem a little naive ! |
| Things are now getting more interesting. Tokaku has found something to do. The assassins are now complete and most of them are really intimidating. Haru is the most intriguing giving her background and scars on her body. Even thought the other girls would know Tokaku's secret, they shouldn't understimate her. I have a feeling her, if her scary form awakens, she can kill of them at once. |
| Holy shit, that was awesome! Nice to see rules added in and its not some sort of random assassination game. Really looking forward to see what happens next! |
 |
| Dat ending tho <3 |
| Yessss. At least now we understand what's going on. Onto the next episode. |
 |
| Okay episode, but the pacing is quite bad... let's see what's next though. |
 |
| "Haru was born to live." Haru should stop talking in third person. |
| Her scars reminded me of vash's body maybe trigun reference. Still unsure about the 3rd person dialogue but I love the twisted smiles that the characters show off |
 |
| This is starting to remind me of Danganronpa. |
 |
| Hope Haru shows some balls and doesn't end up the "happy-go-lucky" character. That would be annoying. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| The music is top notch. Inst fav. This episode was great as well. So far the show seems promising. |
 |
| All students are introduced and I have hard time memorizing all students. I wanted to know who voiced Sachika Misawa. Woah, Haru is not ordinary girl. i think she is strong imo and she said she is immortal. More like a set up episode. The fun begins next episode I think. ED Song: 3/5 ED Animation: 3/5 4/5 |
 |
| This show is so ridiculously edgy lol so they all want to kill Haru... 11 murderers and 1 protector xD the rules are quite interesting but well overall it seems very meh |
 |
| Good episode. I like the ending song a lot. So, 11 assassins and 1 protector. Sounds fair. xD |

| INUKAI WAIFU! Inukai is literally the local Itachi Uchiha and she is so cool and cute. I like how self-confident she is and that moment when Nio thanks everyone at the meeting for not trying to kill Haru earlier and Inukai is all like 💅 And i realized who the main characters remind me of - its the Russian group t.A.T.u. One girl with short dark hair and one with long red hair and yuri between them... Also there is new oujo-sama waifu Sumireko Hanabusa appeared, i already like her. p.s. these scars on Haru look so sexy. |
