Use your brain before using your keyboard!  |
| Two of my favourite charakters died and they finally had really good death scenes unlike the other ones who all were just kind of mediocre, but these were really tear-jerking. 10/10 for not censoring anything. Damn I've really come to like this Anime. |

| as a manga reader ep 17 adapt really well IMO , mostly manga superior than anime, but not in this ep |
 |
| Oh cmon... Very sad episode... but still that explosion was rly hard it should have killed all of them.. yeah the shield it may have some barrier or something. Ok w/e everyone lived after it ^^ So when chelsea died what was that "And..." the last words she spoke was about how she wants to be praised by all, and that thing with Tatsumi what is he thinking etc. etc. and bum theres "And..." >.< Does any1 know what does she ment? is it written in manga or somewhere? it drives me crazy.. |
 |
| Dunno why everyone loves Chelsea when we barely got to see anything about her. But gotta say she was by far the smartest character out of Night raid though thats not really difficult. Still when she used the smoke bomb why didnt she just tranform into a a plant or animal and just hid intro the forest. At least running into the forest instead of running on a straight road in clear attack range wouldve improved her survival even a little |
| Nothing of any real value was lost this episode. Still when she used the smoke bomb why didnt she just tranform into a a plant or animal and just hid intro the forest. At least running into the forest instead of running on a straight road in clear attack range wouldve improved her survival even a little Panic might have played a role there - without defending her in any way, but once you're in panic, it's way harder to see those obvious solutions. |
| Chills runs down my spine ....when i saw the head scene :'( .....would've felt better if they didn't show that scene ... poor chelsea .....and RIP Bols. |
| Goddamit, she did died -__- Sent with Mal Updater |

A character does'nt have to have that much screentime or backstory to be likeable,a character can sometimes even be well liked for a single quality |
 |
| That was gross, seeing the head and stuff. Bols' death was more sad, because of his family. |

| Very unfortunate for both Night Raid and The Jaegers. It's a 1 for 1 trade at most. The damn feels in this episode. Especially when Bols was done in. Chelsea just didn't get informed by the drugs Kurome uses. I believe it's those fucking snacks she eats all the time. She sure showed what it means to be a true assassin. Again, it's a 1 for 1 trade, therefore it's a draw. |
| Very intense and brutal episode. I'm Glad that they did not censor it ! I did not like Bols before, but I felt sad for his death because of his family |
| Holy shit. And I thought this series didn't take itself too seriously. |

| I thought a lot of people would already be desensitised with characters dying every two episodes in this series, I guess people these days are easily saddened. For me, oh another character just died. Cool. -_- Does this series even know what shock value means anymore? They've use up every drop of it. |

| I'm torn between "LOL" and "Damn, another decent character gone." |
| Game of Thrones has helped me deal with these kinds of deaths lol. Sad for Chelsea since I really liked her. Next up to die will probably be Lubb since his death flag was raised last ep too. |
 |
| I pretty much died a little on the inside when Bols was killed. He was my favorite character of the enemy cast, might be overall actually. And now he's dead. The final moments of him seeing him with his team and family just shattered my heart. OTL Chelsea's death was also sad, but I'm little more biased to Bols' death tbh. Didn't really like her too much compared to everyone else, and it didn't help that it was her who killed my favorite character, but I will admit her death was brutal as hell. I'm honestly surprised they didn't censor it. |

| The continuous unnecessary violence in this show is quite disturbing. |

| what.... I was starting to like chelsea.... Im a bit heartbroken from this episode :( I thought she was gonna stay with us for a bit longer but they threw her out immediately right after she got in. |

PriestSlayer said: Gravis said: ...you know they're assassins right?The continuous unnecessary violence in this show is quite disturbing. Yeah, of course. That doesn't take away the fact that unneeded beheadings and the such are there just for the shock value, they won't add any insight. There are ways and means for everything. |
| Aliis si licet, tibi non licet. |
Gravis said: Oh yea, it's only for shock value. There's no other reason for it. I mean, displaying her head in the middle of town clearly doesn't send a message to not mess with the Empire /eyeroll.

I mean, displaying her head in the middle of town clearly doesn't send a message to not mess with the Empire /eyeroll. Read your own posts dude. If the message was not to mess with the Empire, they could've done it in literally a dozen other ways. Putting Chelsea's head on a spike and having Tatsumi coincidentally stumble upon it was purely a plot device to shock the audience and was completely unnecessary. Would those other dozen ways be as effective and fear inducing? No they wouldn';t have been. There's a bloody reason why the Head on a pike was so widely used in ancient conflicts. |
| Why is this a Shounen again? 70% of the time it feels like this show wanted to be a Seinen but nahhh lets throw in some comedy to mellow out the grim-dark stuff. |

bkuu said: why can't other animes *cough* *Tokyo ghoul*, have the balls to be uncensored like this? Great and sad episode..the gore really leaves you with a stronger emotion and feels for the characters. Well done I think its due to the art style maybe, Tokyo Ghoul blows this animation out of the water the blood in AGK look cartoony as fuck when Seryuu got her arms cut off it looked so cartoony with it gushing out. Tokyo ghoul has more realistic blood so they censored it. That's my view on it. DaBlueSky said: Don't worry about it. People online like to act robotic, "oh her death didn't make me sad" or "i can't wait for this particular death to happen", because they think it makes them cool or whatever. Or maybe the deaths are poorly done and a lot of viewers didn't feel attached to her. Didn't find her personality appealing nor was her role in the series great. Not Sheele level shit but like every female in this series its hard for us to give a fuck. Like another few characters that are introduced later, she was literally made to die her death was in vain. |
| She was a plot device yes... but killing Bols and nearly killing Kurome is dying in vain? Sure I wasn't particularly attached to her but I interpreted her death as karmic justice. NR chose this "We live in the dark to serve the light" path so I have no sympathy for either side. Death might as well be an eventuality for everyone in this accursed story. Since pretty much everyone else besides the Jeagers and Night Raid are evil beyond repair. |

Bors had no teigu so he was as good as dead, he'd have to leave the Jeagers due to being dead weight or he'll get a new teigu which is unlikely. And Kurome i won't spoil but ... |

| Nice to see that this isn't being censured as much as on the start. |
| So far so good in keeping up with the manga. I wonder which chapter it's going to end at? |

Golden_Darknezz said: So far so good in keeping up with the manga. I wonder which chapter it's going to end at? My prediction. Around chapter 43. |
| Not sure if it's good that I'm getting more feels from the death of the 'antagonists' of the show than I am the protagonists. Though with her attitude, it was pretty expected that she was gonna die. Kurome should have just made her a puppet and kill one of the Nightraid members, that would probably have far much more impact. |
| Emotions are a funny thing, some people couldn't care less. Some people say screw Kurome for killing Chelsea. Some people say screw Chelsea for killing Bors. Some people say screw Bors for burning an entire village down. Some people say well damn the feels are too much. And here I am saying well this is nice and grey...... |
D3pthChargeOct 27, 2014 5:14 PM
| Chelsea's death didn't have that much of an emotional impact on me since she was a relatively new member of the Night Raid. Bols on the other hand.. that hit me right in the feels, even though he worked for the wrong team. |
| The deaths in this episode gave me too much feels. So much grey area. Can't really go through the whole episode without skipping T_T Bye Bols and Chelsea. |
