| awsome ep cant wait for enxt one :D! |

Semonthy said: I don't see a problem in liking a series NOT based on the art :P silly~ :3 I think that's pretty coolSurprisingly, I really enjoy this series despite hating the character designs. (Yeah I'm a moron for not liking series depending on the art). I liked this episode lots, but it took kodas blog and some reading to figure things out. Hopefully the next 5 eps will clear things up, would hate for this to be shitty just because there's not enough episodes! |
| Frankly, the confusion is starting to kill me. Just hope that we don't get the all to common -wtf ending which this anime might seem to be heading. |
 |
| Episode six was, in a word, confusing. In three words, confusing as fuck. For starters there seemed to be a chunk missing between episodes five and six because Akira hadn't even mentioned Saki's group before episode six, yet at the start of it he was dropping Saki off at her friends and asking her to arrange a meeting. Somewhere along the way a "Hey baby, wanna come back to my place?" line was transformed into a plan to meet Saki's group of nerdy friends. Before episode six, I think the word 'club' had only been mentioned once, and the club members had only had a few seconds on screen, so you'll have to forgive me for not getting how a 'romantic' offer changed into a plan to meet Saki's club friends. Why is she even in with nerds, anyway? Anyway. The next scene introduced the club cast as they talked about Akira and how the geek leader wasn't so great and how the attractive ladies were all leaving the club...or something. I really don't know. All I do know is that they decided to pay Akira a visit at the end. When they started conversing with Akira, it got REALLY confusing. Some stuff about a program that can add descriptions to any image viewed on a camera, the club being involved in recycling(!?), old men being evil, a bad thing happening to Saki because of the image description program, Akira wanting to use a group of six nerds to save the world by funding them...oh, and there was a very calm discussion at the end about the virgin nerd getting his "Johnny" chopped off. Too much was threw in and explained badly, in short. I wish I hadn't watched it at 1 AM because, if I ever watch episode 7, I'm going to need to rewatch it. I think the message of Eden is that old people are ruining Japan and young, reclusive people can save it if they're helped. I don't really care at this point, though. Why? Because the series is all over the place - it isn't sure if it wants to be a slapstick comedy series, a Genshiken type comedy, a crime thriller or an anime that shows Japan from a certain angle. I enjoyed the rom-com opening episodes (despite not really liking either character) but have become less interested in it as its gone on. I might drop it - I'm not sure. |
| That was... different. |
Confucius say man who stand on toilet is high on pot. |
| Not very clear episode. As many others I just got more confused. Well, at least Mikuru was cute. |
 |
| No way.. This is their ideas of saving the nation with 10 billion yen?! Ohsugi.. I can see where this anime is heading considering that there is only 11 episodes and that it has already pass the midway point. |
 |
| I don't know if it is just me but I don't think XI is abusing her selecao abilities she's doing something that could be seen a bettering the country getting rid of males who force themselves on females the supporter shouldn't eliminate her for that |
| ~May you continue being the Messiah.... |
| How is murdering men she finds bettering a country? Ohsugi was drunk and depressed. What would having him kill do to better a country? Nothing Edit: Actually, what she is doing does make sense now after watching episode 7 |

| I'd have to agree that it seems improbably that they could possibly wrap the story up well in just another 4 episodes, so maybe a second season? But wow 20,000 victims from the "Johnny-taker" is just ... wtf xD |
| After I watched this interesting episode, I have no clue what program they try to create. There’s five episode left to go, so I really hope if the next episode have more information about Selecao game and Eden of East program. |
| Well, that's six episodes done. Five left. It really doesn't feel like it and makes me a little worried that they're going to have to rush. That movie's gonna have to be long. DeathNotice said: I'm still curious. How the hell has Shiratori killed 20,000 people? If she killed one person a night, she'd have to be doing it for sixty years. The only explanations I can think of is that the "Johnny Taker" is actually multiple people, or she somehow got a hold of the NEETs Akira had exiled. Ah, I was wondering about that as I watched. Glad I wasn't the only one wondering how someone has the time to do such a task. Ew. 20,000 sure seems significant. Akira saved 20,000 NEETs and Shiratori somehow kills 20,000 men. Those 40,000 were all unhappy at some point but Akira's group got the better deal... Ah, one thing that's bothering me. How come every other Selecao has had a generic "Please continue your work as a savior" message from Juiz and yet Shiratori has such a long specific one? A little odd? |
   |
| She could have requested a longer self-importance message |
| Wow, that's some ego she's got, then. |
|
Ok, I understood nearly nothing in this ep ; ( ...it was a nice ending ; ) |

| I can't quite decide if this episode was a letdown or not. I did feel slightly steamrollered by that whole cast of new characters talking about things never even mentioned before, but then it does make sense (more than letting them explain everything to the stupid audience), as this is how people talk when everyone knows what they're talking about. Which, of course, doesn't change the fact that I only got about half of what they meant. I didn't really like the change in atmosphere that much. (I liked the guy sitting in the closet though.) Somehow the focus of that show seems to have gotten smaller and in a way more plain, which would be very disappointing. I sure hope the next episodes will make up for this. What pisses me off is that the only female selecao so far (and there are not that many numbers left) is a psycho who cuts off Johnnies, of all things. In her underwear. And 20.000? She must have had them coming on a conveyor belt. And Ohsugi? Managing to get his photos online is a miracle in itself, but the other guy concluding that this guy calling for help on the internet *must* be none other than Ohsugi is just bullshit. Only explanation is that both of them are usually on that forum and he's actually posting under his username, maybe it's just some vagueness in the subs or something. I sure hope this doesn't mean that the show is doomed and will go the way of Jyu Oh Sei, pure brilliance in the first half, steadily downhill in the second. |

What a sophisticated psycho. Though after seeing episode 7 I'm mollified, and enjoying the series immensely again 8) Edit: Uh.. after seeing episode 8, I think. o_O |

| Well this episode sure had a lot of dialog in it, didn't really seem to go anywhere much either. Still pretty good though. What was Takizawa riding on anyway? Looked like a parade pinata. |
| I'm not sure that the guy the Johnny Taker got is actually Ohsugi, he's wearing all different clothes, his tie isn't even the same color. We'll see, though. This episode did confuse me some, as well. I think something got lost in translation when they were talking about the program they made, the NEET paradise, etc. |
| I sort of got lost in this episode, but eh. Oh well, it was enjoyable as usual, although I didn't really get what was going on, entirely. Don't see what Akira's trying to do by funding this weird program that can put notes on people or something... I wonder if Ohsugi will be saved? |
| I LOVE SAKIRA. |

| You can take my Johnny when you pry it from my cold dead hands. |

| I'll say it was a meh episode, not much that was wrong with it but it didn't really introduce anything new like I was expecting it to. |
| Wow, reading the first few pages of the discussion really cleared a few things up for me, and I'm surprised with some of the things people notice(such as the significance of the apple, lyrics for bgm in OP, methods to save japan) I'm too slow-witted to notice those things myself. Anyways, I think the story is going along great! |
 |
| Wth with all the "Sprigntime Johnny" and Magnum .44 talk xD I feel like it changed genres inbetween episodes. Meh, episode was a tad boring and confusing, but I'm really curious to see if Ohsugi manages to save his Johnny. |

| Kinda filler, next ep will be intense though. |
     |
| Another good episode. Damn, poor Ohsugi.. |
| I was so confused >.< |
 |
| Personally I think it was a good episode, Saki was cute as always~ I hope Ohsugi will be saved though~ |
 |
| booring -_- the johnny taker lol... but 20k people??? O.o,crazy b~tch 3/5 |

dbaranyi said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- More talk, no action. I'm getting the feeling that we may well not get a full resolution of the mystery of Selecao in this short TV anime series. Yeah... |
| What!? 1. Why does that kid live in the club room rolltop desk?? 2. LOLZzz at Osugi rolling around on the floor with a gimp mask on. Great continuation! |
| Wait....what!! |
| Now I see why that woman is called the Johnny Hunter!! I hope Ohsugi is rescued with his "johnny" still intact. |
 |
| mittan is adorable as hell. and someone help that guy out. god know how it must feel waiting to get saved when there's the possibiliy of having ur johnny taken. |
     |
| What a mess! But until I'm enjoying it! . . . As for Ohsugi, I prefer it to die soon. aushauhsuasahsush! Right! Sorry fans of Ohsugi, but I did not like him. And Mittan is so cute! It really surprises me, I thought she always had that genius "serious" and everything else! So cute! |
| This episode was less enjoyable because it got a bit confusing there... I'm still not sure how Akira is going to help the club and what is it exactly that they do. Anyway, the ending was pretty good. Do you thing that woman keeps all her johnnies in a jar or something? creepy! |
