I'm confused, how does Kana make her little machine sound like it has emotions?Because I would expect it to sould like Stephen Hawking or HAL 9000. Is this explained in the manga, or is it just poor directing?

Betting that Neko hit the 3rd switch, which from the OP looks like it transports them to some kind of alternate decaying dimension (if the OP means anything). I doubt she's dead this soon in the anime.

This is just an anime thing. You obviously can't hear a manga, but Kana's voice bubbles are drawn as rectangles, which would make it seem to be a computer-generated voice.

So poor directing.

Would you rather want to hear the machine sounded like a computer, or as of which sounded like what there is to be in the episode? It's just a trivial matter, nothing worthy to be questioned of. If that machine sounded too much like a computer with emotionless rhythm, then you would probably complaint that it would looked stupid instead!

Beside, it provide a working opportunity for the seiyuu responsible. It doesn't have anything to do with bad directing or whatsoever. Just watch it, and don't think of the unnecessary part.

I wouldn't be all that surprised if the third button would be to remove that thing safely. Obviously it's never used, and obviously they don't want them to play around with it..

"Everything makes sense now."

No it certainly does not, but it's still really entertaining and the story is intriguing. And like we ever for a second that Kuroha wasn't Kuroneko. Of course, it's always the breasts! Damn you, puberty, causing the position of the moles to shift!

On another note, I can totally see how this is by the author of Elfen Lied. There's some fucked up plot elements, lol.

1. A harness with 3 buttons, one which kills the magician and another which is apparently a complete mystery, but apparently causes something worse than death.

2. Every time Kuroha uses her powers, she loses some of her memories

3. If the magicians don't get their athanatic pills, their skin starts to fall apart and then their bones melt. Yikes.

4. People getting sliced in half.

Well, this anime already wins for most anticipated next episodes of the season. Way to go.

But wait, Kuroneko actually died? Fk, can't remember the last time I've watched an intense anime like this one.

Someone got their first period...


I'm really wondering what that third switch is. I should probably read the manga, but I don't want to get spoiled for the anime. Dx

Anyways. Love the tension. Love the action. Still think they made a bad/weird character design for Murakami, but I guess it doesn't really affect the good plot. Great episode, 5/5

5/5

The basic information you need to understand the facts gradually shown today, make it accessible narrative; plot that reflects the thinking of Okamoto in its entirety. Some inconsistencies, leave me perplexed, there is the mystery of Ryota, because if not, some things do not add up.
Discrete designs, I hope to further improve them in the BD version that will not fail to see to savor the brutally censored.
I look forward to the next episode to see how it can come back to race the protagonist.
I hope that on the stage, we see only the four female protagonists, but also others.
Opening really nice too. The levels of this anime, for now, they remind me of EL!
Yes!

So the main character act heroic and spoke a sentence like: "- Now that I know she is really kuroneko, I will really save her and we will start new regards...
And then, the expectations are broken...Just what I expect from Lynn Okamoto.

All that blood,is that what i think it is?! XD Oh,Pills everyday or death?Really Interesting and depressing :) Damn! that second half was just soo... Brutal. As expected from the Elfen Lied author. I just hope he doesn't kill everybody off,at least until the final episode. I'm really starting to like this series, the backgrounds and designs are beautyful and we are getting info gradually. seems a lot more promising now xD

awesome, enjoying this a lot more than Elfen Lied so far.
but yeah, it's pretty obvious that it's from the same dude (the writing is still .. horrible.. I mean come on, the way the pills burned is goddamn stupid, the MC is stupid as fuck as well.... noone with a sane mind would just throw away their life like that)
it's entertaining to watch though and I love the opening

Hype episode.

I knew as soon as Kana mentioned that she loses things important to her when she uses magic that she meant she loses her memories. It was the only explanation for the identical appearance and name.

Let's see what Murakami can do!

Ryouta finally sees her mole. Good for him :D It's a big relief. It feels nice~
Seriously, I feel so sorry for these girls :/ I fucking hate bad lab experiments!!
Of course, Kuroha will be back.

Too much censorship.


First of all, I'm glad I started this show with the BDs.

A3ead said:
I KNEW IT !! I freaking knew it since the first episode that she was his childhood friend .. I remember when he said that awesome phrase "shut up and show me your armpits" (still funny xD), I immediately said to myself "Nope, you should ask to see the boobs because realistically the moles would've moved when the breast grows" (of course if asking to see the armpits was hilarious, I can only imagine asking to see the boobs would've changed this show into an ecchi :D )
anyway, I am happy with myself for figuring it out !

now about this episode, it was BLOODY !
this show is supposed to be dark and it is doing its best to live up to this expectation and so far I really like it.
well Kuroneko is dead now, IMO it would've been a much better cliffhanger episode ending if they didn't make so obvious that he will be using Saori's second power whatever that is (after convincing or forcing her) to revive Kuroneko back. still a decent episode though.
and again I stress on the freaking awesome and glorious OP .. I just LOVE IT !


Lool, about the boobs. Damn, how could I not have thought about it?! Also, about the reviving, I am thinking that probably Saori's second power is something like a short-period time reversal and the MC's plan is to threaten to push Saori's death button with that metal tool, force her to reverse time and save Kuroneko. Well, let's watch the next episode and see how well this theory holds!

It was obvious that was her but to have her being cut in that many pieces in the end was quite grotesque :/ I do wonder what will happen next though! Will we see Kuroneko again or is she done for?

A fairly fast paced episode with nice information on the characters provided. Soon we should get a look at the bad guys and their pasts. The lab experiments remind me of the labs in Ajin..... not a nice place with fun technicians. Time to binge watch a few episodes....lol.

In comparison with the manga, this is nothing seriously


Damm truth, even the BD that are uncensored look pleasent compared with all the gore.
I m finding it funny people are surprised about Neko's death.
Well it was shocking at first too, but yeah, next episode tells the tale.
