Although Sheele died, atleast this anime proves that it wont be the kind of anime where all the main characters survive. Looking forward to see what other shocking events we will encounter later on in the show. 9/10 you dont mind if i quote this later? on topic: i told ya last week that **** is getting real. and this is only the beginning... *sobs in a corner* |

| No, not her. Why couldn't it have been the obnoxious tsundere? Even i expected them to beat Seryu though, so i'm really glad that main characters are taking hits, and it's not your generic plot-protected-Anime-MC. Tatsumi better get the killing blow on Justice-lady. Esdese is back in town, oh boy. Can't wait for the carnage. Very good episode, 1 Night Raid is down for the count, sadly... This Anime seems to have at least as much gore and actually more brutal scenes than Tokyo Ghoul, by the way, which feels wrong. |

| Magnificent episode. Loved the action and Scheele's death was emotional as hell! I'm so happy this episode wasn't plagued with censors too badly. 5/5 |
 |
| Damn... I was not expecting a character death already. I would of preferred mine to die over schere anyday. Schere seemed like such a cool character she was by far the nicest to tatsumi. The scene after the fight where that monster was chewing on schere's arm was just painful to watch lol. Can't wait to see how her death affects night raid and especially tatsumi. |

But I am not ignoring its faults and unconditionally praising it, because it's not very satisfying on a mental and emotional level. And I'm not asking for character development, I'm asking for strong characterization. How come I care about JoJo's cast who are just as one-dimensional? Because we spend time with them and they have a lot of interactions between them or have a lot of amusing situations for them to express themselves strongly. The tragedy struck in the 13-14th episode, not on the fifth. The character was well established, capable, useful, and had a conflict. Oh, danger beasts, they are so relevant indeed, especially in the capital where everyone still be using them instead of guns which have inherent advantage over melee. But again: the world building is kind of irrelevant to the overall story. We can both twist the setting to however we like since it's so poorly defined. |

| Fantastic adaption of Kill the Absolute Justice! Great action, gore, and drama. Looks like Night Raid took it's first casualty, RIP Scheele :( Let this be a lesson to reinforce the theme that ANYONE can die at any time in this anime/manga. 5/5 episode! |
 |
| I'm happy that the CR version is completely uncutted, i really can handle watching another show i like completely ruined like Tokyo Ghoul (great manga) where censorship is so invasive that you see black band and light beams for 90% of the screen and you are forced to switch off your media player. 5/5 for this episode, very well adapted from the manga. °°// |

SirFashion said: za21 said: A series being a shounen doesn't mean it doesn't have those attributes. Look at Death Note, FMA, Code Geass, etc. Shounen is just a demographic. Its like saying that all american cartoons for kids have no depth. Avatar the Last Airbender is a testament to why saying that is stupid. AgK does have those things. Its just not amazingly deep. It could definitely be done better but AgK does those things decently and is straightforward in its ideas. You said it, its a demographic, kids from 12-19 years old dont appreciate deep or real serious plots but people still expect this AdK to be so. FMA, Death Note, Code Geass arent deep or serious enough, specially FMA (its the best example of a standard action shounen about friendship and justice done correctly). Any manga from naoki urusawa would be an example of what serious, deep or character development in a standard seinen would be. I'd disagree. FMA isn't your typical Shounen in my honest opinion. Code geass, Death and FMA were actually quite deep and serious. Such as Hughe's death.. That actually had quite a impact on me.. *sob* Still, this is based from memory etc.. Ain't seen these anime in years. (Planning to rewatch FMA:B though) |

T3hSource said: Darklight0303 said: No, I haven't, because it makes absolutely no sense. Magic, power ups, and the like,OK. It's a mix. Come on don't tell me this is the first time ever that you've seen both fantasy and tech mixed in. SEriously find something better to bitch about or just go away. Going away would be appreciated Modern ranged weapons vs melee... WTF? And you can go away as well ರ_ರ Dude, it's actually pretty common. Look for "schizo tech" on TV Tropes, you'll find a ton of examples, and they're not limited to anime. Some known ones: shingeki, naruto (ninjutsu and computers ._.), most final fantasy titles, samurai 7, etc. |

| Am I the only one that found sheelee's (or however you spell her name) death and the aftermath to be cheesy to the point of being cring-worthy? I'm sorry but I was facepalming all the way from her death to the end of the episode. The fact that she could easily have killed Seyru and then saved Mine/Mein just makes it worse. Just an opinion :D |
| I liked this episode, the first one that I actually like. The fight was good and the tragedy was handled quite well. Still the lightheartedness and some comedic scenes don't suit with this anime and themes(really off putting) also I don't like that the villains are cartoonishly bad and evil. Just my opinion though I hope it goes on more in this manner... |

That actually had quite a impact on me.. *sob* Touching ≠ deep and serious. Even Cross Game manages death and feelings better in the first episode. Still not deep or serious, just touching. Fine then, let me rephrase myself. Hughes' death in FMA was actually quite touching as he was a pretty well developed character and you could really tell that he cared for his family. Sucks they killed him off. Touching, deep or serious, in my opinion is doesn't matter, they all in a way effect the audiences' feelings towards the series. AgK failed to do so in Sheele's death as we all know, she could of killed that Justice girl.. Who knows maybe she was in the spur of the moment and decided saving tsundere came first. Literally I re-read that scene in the Manga only to find my self skipping that part. |
"Hi!" |
| I might be nitpicking here but if they have guns and stuff(that Seryu girl had implanted in her, well that was ridiculous... anyway) why all the guards have only swords and spears??? |

Just an opinion :D While she was dying all I could think about was while she did not kill Seyru first,so no,you are not alone with this opinion. However,one could argue that she panicked because her friend was closed to being killed. But that does not make me like the scene more. what makes it worse is that super sniper mine could have shot seryu aswell when she told her imperial gear to go berserk, not to mention the several times before. they knew imperial gears stop working when the user dies. every single second that dog was not attacking she could have just sniped seryu |
| And finally the episode that shuts all the haters up airs. Amazing episode, i knew what was going to happen and I'm still in shock. As near to a perfect adaptation as you could ask for. |

He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau |
| 5/5 That was really well adapted IMO. They didn't delay the Tatsumi/Leone scene so they could focus on the other fight (most studios would have probably put a cliffhanger in the middle of the fight with Seryuu). If I recall, Sheele's death didn't seem that forced or stupid in the manga, I think they changed the pacing or something in the fight... I marathoned it all so I can't remember exactly. Still, the lack of censoring as usual was pretty welcomed. And Sheele was badass until the very end, even after being ripped in half T_T. Sheele, you will be sorely missed, I hope you can find your spider sister Shizuku in your next life (haha they have many things in common). Now is where the plot really takes off :3 Can't wait for the upcoming episodes. |

| The animation and OST are top notch I must say especially Tatsumi's scene at the end with those stars on the sky. Tatsumi looked so much better/cooler compare with the manga. Sasuga Square Enix and White Fox. |

"Hi!" |
| People are quick to point out plot holes, but it is what it is, anime is anime, such is life. Overall I thought it was a good episode. It was ENJOYABLE. |

| Damn they really overexaggerated her death, she got next to no development and was a blant clumsy character. I feel like her death took half of the episode, the author tried his hardest to make it sad but instead it made me bored. I do not care at all about some nameless character who barely got any screentime. Wasted episode, though fight scene was all right the pointless reminiscing was not. I hope they kill off more characters in the future, but next time I hope the emotional impact will be stronger (maybe by killing characters that are actually memorable not copy-paste from an average rom-com?) In any case I feel killing main characters is a good thing, because then when a character you like is in a pinch you actually can worry about them instead of thinking that they are invincible (like in every shounen basically) At first I thought she was killed by the bullet but instead she randomly stands up like nothing is wrong and saves the other girl. The other girl who I also thought was going to die when the dog squashed her either (but the dog who has larger muscles than her entire body couldn't squish a tiny loli girl) but no the girl survived because the other girl miracioulously arrived to save her. Oh and Serya was completly ruined, damn last episode I thought that she would be a nice idealistic character who'd believe that they are doing justice. Essentially a 'good' character working for the 'bad' guys. But no instead she becomes some bat-s*** crazy girl. Damn such a ruined opportunity. If that was the case it would provide a nice contrast between them. |
| I am a human. |
| OMG Seryuu... whenever i think I have found a character, who I believe could be "sane" they turn out to be utterly maniacs ;__; gun built into the mouth?! and Sheele who also was one of my favorites is dead, this episode was awesome! |

Its not an important part of the story, she was nothing special. The story itself is ok but there's some bits that are either unnecessary, try too hard or just plain bad. I like this series but if i see something bad i'm gonna point it out, sheele had 1 episode of getting to know her then dies. Clearly they intended to make the viewer feel something but they failed. |

Only one out of the two that's gained development is Tatsumi the most important part for Tatsumi's story is coming up in about 3 or 2 episodes and that's when his character develops the most. But this, important? No Mine only wants to get her back that's it no development typical 'you get me i get you' stuff. A bunch of others can't even come up with a reason to actually feel attached to the character who had little to no appealing traits and NO development. We didn't even get the chance to become more attached to her character. |
SupaNiper said: It would have been better if she just.. you know, died. Without any wonderful scene with flashback and all that crap. It so fucking cliche. If she just got shot, eaten, dead. Maybe some screams idk. But goddamn it they used way to much time on such a small character. This exactly. It would have been fine if they didn't drag it out with that slideshow of her memories with night raid. We hardly even knew much about her and I'm expected to feel sad about her death. |
| NOOOO Sheele. ;__; whyyy |
