| I agree with most of what's been said already, especially with Ohsugi. But he does make for an interesting foil for Akira. With only three episodes left, I'm going to hold my thoughts for the moment. At this point it seems as if the series will have to be concluded in the form of that movie. I doubt Production I.G. is the master of pacing, i.e. there's no way these last few episodes will have a tidy conclusion that doesn't include a cliff hanger. |
 |  . |
| hmm for some reason i gots a feeling Ohsugi will get things mixed up and make Akira look bad XD and the Pantsu guy looks quite like a mastermind fit for Akira's true intentions dam 3 more episodes and it deosnt seem like this anime will end anytime. Hopefully the movie would answer any questions we have when the series is finished |
| Nothing really happened in this episode though. :\ I hope they know what they're doing? I was hoping Akira would meet Mr. Outside by the end of this series but with the pace of how things going I can'y see how it's possible... Anyway, Ohsugi is a freaky stalker. But it's good since we're going to find stuff about Akira from him, hehe. Also, I'm confused, which phone are they trying to fix? Is it Akira's or Shiratori's? :x |
     |
| Very exciting episode, even for a transition one. Huge developments all around even if we don't get to see them all for now.Too bas there are only 3 episodes and a movie left though... |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |

That was IV's phone. (It was the same color at least.) |
| It was okay. Not much really happened. Ohsugi is such a prissy person. I don.t like him. I'm for his Johnny being taken :) I'm curious to find out what is on the phone. Maybe a shocking plot twist? Hahaa Pantsu was interesting |
| i think this was probably the best episode so far by comparison, but i wish this show weren't so obsessed with Johnnies. seriously, stop it! if the next episode is made of utter fail though, i might drop it, i've been contemplating it or a while, if i were marathoning it, i probably would've dropped it long ago, but at one episode per week, it's a nice distraction while i wait for the new Basquash! to come out. |
| I really hate Ohsuji. I wish got his Jonny chopped off. I really like Akira, i dont things to go badly for him. >:[ |
    |
| nice progression, too bad it stopped just as things were getting started, insterested in seeing where this will go |
 |
| Saki lied and said there was no one at the hotel when she got there. Very interesting. |

| looks like ohsugi is dead set on finding out who takizawa really is, and just wants to get rid of him, that all there is to it |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| I don't really see how people think this was a slow episode. This was "quintessential" EoE where they manage to be pretty contained within location while spewing out lots of plot development from dialogue and characters. Just that first scene with Akira on the couch efficiently squared away all of the questions with Ohsugi in a competent manner. Not to mention the fluid introduction of Pantsu and a little progression on finding out who Akira is by using Ohsugi. So I am a little bit worried about what's going to happen in the next 3 episodes and movie, but from a storytelling perspective, they've done a really, really good job, and the only thing that should be particularly worrisome is the intrusion of fantastical elements. |
| Perhaps the 11 episodes is some sort of "question arc", like it builds up the story, and the movie will conclude everything? if the movie is going to be 1.5 hours, then thats about 4 episodes so it could be done. |
     |
| So Ohsugi didn't get kidnapped (too bad), and Shiratori isn't that bad after all. |
| How can this series possibly end after only 13 episodes????????????? IMPOSSIBLE I say! Still loved this episode even though i have no idea whats going on. |
| Romance comedy anime - Japan's gift to America |
| I'm bracing for hardcore plot development on next episode, like on ep 6. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| not one of the better episode; a lot of talking but it was still good. |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| Damn Johnnies. Lol. But overall, quite a good episode, though I liked 6 and the previous one bit better. |
 |
| this episode shocked me... star trek was played in the middle of the episode,,,, gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0.0 *winks |

| "johnny hunter" episode is the wackiest episode!!!! hahaha lol |
Manifest said:  Lol. I wonder what he meant by that. Also at the start of the episode 'johnny hunter' was calling takizawa, did he miss the call or what ? I wonder how they are gonna end this with so few little episodes left and a movie ofc. Hope they don't rush it and is actually well planned. |

| I think there's nothing to fear about fantastical elements: the winged XI was just a joke played by the authors on us, and so far the crazy feel of the series is coming from the absolute power Juiz seems to hold only. Other than the "Eden of the East" system and "money-->done" (which is actually a very solid rule of our contemporary world), it looks all very realistic to me. |
| Welll, I don't mind them either, but some people certainly have a problem with it. They were fine when it was relegated to the Johnnys that were hounding Akira in a delusion, but they were angry when it was basically the same kind of thing (with a better explanation) with Saki. @Brian333 I agree with you for the most part, but I still think that overall, this episode kept the on the ground running when it could have stayed stagnant with harping on what happened to Ohusugi and talking about (not introducing) Pantsu. Even though the set up of Ohusugi's rivalry with Akira had begun before he got kidnapped, this is the first time that Ohsugi is taking action "against" Akira, leading to the possibility that we get to know who Akira is (since Akira himself seems to not really care) I agree about the sense of urgency, but at the same time, I understand that as a story, everything can't build up from one thing to the next. Good storytelling allows for denoument and proper pacing, which, while we as viewers get impatient with, keeps everything in the show from becoming a total mess of fanservice. |

noteDhero said: ... when it was basically the same kind of thing (with a better explanation) with Saki. I can't seem to remember what you are talking about... ^^" Is it about the illusion? |
| Yeah. When Akira went off the side of the highway and those creepy white Johnnies were all over him. In presentation, the execution was very similar, and with Shiratori we at least got the footnote on the phone. With Akira's little trip, it was completely out of nowhere. Did he bump his head? Was it a random thought? Was he on drugs? I have no clue, but most everyone liked it and found it funny. I guess because there was no humor in the wings people are more "WTF this is bad," but honestly, those Johnnys are much more WTF since there was no explanation at all. |

I see your point, and I must agree with it. I have a little theory about those Johnnies (I completely forgot he called them that way lol) concerning NEETs and Akira's link with them, but it's too faint right now. I hope we see more puppet Johnnies next ep. :P |
| Jason Bourne? |
 |
| I still greatly enjoy this series. Still the best this season in my opinion but like many here I'm getting worried on how they will wrap this up. Granted there is three episodes and a movie due to conclude it but right now with all the stuff that's going on that remains unresolved and the fact they keep adding onto it, it's gonna take some good writers to work their way out of this "hole" they seem to be digging. I don't think the story is bad at all so don't get the wrong idea but I do think with the time that is left that they seem to want to tell this story in, it seems rather hard that they will be able to do it in a manner that will truly do the series justice and not either be so watered down or rushed or nonsensical or everything that can go wrong with an ending. This is one of the few times I will stay optimistic about how something might wrap up instead of fearing the worse but we'll just have to wait and see. A thing I will say is that like Kira mentioned with all the mixing up, I'm starting to think some of these incidences like the thing with the 20,000 NEETS might be either a misleading over blowing of what happened or something of the like because with little explanation of it and with a lot of people unsure about the events, it makes sense that some of these events got either somewhat distorted on what either really happened or combined with other news stories like the Johnny Hunter and shootings. I think because of they might be throwing some false hints out there to take you down the wrong path to later unveil everything so they have you thinking one way but do something else. Might be an odd guess on my part but just a thought |
Kira01 said: Jason Bourne? I disagree... for one thing, only two Selecão have been killed, 4 and 5 (Kondou and Hiura) up to now, the dead ones' symbols on the Selecão phones are not illuminated anymore. So there weren't Selecão going around just gunning down others, and Takizawa can't be the Supporter, because he did not kill either of them, not even the one where the killer was not identifiable. For another, the (supposed) NEET recognizing Takizawa near the shopping mall indicates that Takizawa actually helped those people by forcibly relocating them to Dubai. I don't agree with the methods, but I am of the opinion that the writers intended to show that he didn't do bad by that, so he isn't as such a dangerous person, but a person who uses unconventional means to achieve a goal. Edit: Another thing are the missiles. They reportedly did not cause casualties until No. 11 hit, and I have an inkling that it was not Takizawa who ordered that one (could be wrong on this). While again, I do not agree with the method, it was shown in the anime that some, especially young people, considered the missile hits an almost-good-thing (regardless of property damage, apparently). Another one for the 'means well, uses excessive means' characteristic I surmise to have been present in the Takizawa before the memory erasure. |

| Micchon gets even better and better. |
| Awesome. I kinda like this Pantsu guy. Also Micchon is absolutely adorable. Nice to know that everyone's safe after last episode but I'm now quite confused as to what was real and was wasn't from there. |
