| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great episode. It looks like one them escaped :O |
 |
| I loved the pacing of this episode. I liked the way the story built up, the tension was rising in the last 5 minutes of the episode. It was unpredictable and the "scene" above the Ch 33's roof deck was simply brilliantly made. The animators gave the effect that you were really witnessing a live news feed taken above from a moving helicopter. |
| "We practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials, for example, to create a vacuum, then we fill that vacuum. As popular war advances, peace is closer" |
| What is this! They decapitated themselves! |
 |
| Loved every single minute of this episode. So that was the Particularist Eleven... Need to watch the next episode...now! |

This series is worthy of much praises and accolades, comparable to top-notch detective or crime fighting stories with an epic story to boot. Cyber punk at its best! |
| "We practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials, for example, to create a vacuum, then we fill that vacuum. As popular war advances, peace is closer" |
| holy shit amazing episode. so much happened |
| HOLY SHIT! I've never seen this show and now I'm following OZC's current bluray encodes. My GOD I can't wait until the next episode. |
| Woah O_O quite some development at the end there @_@, but really interesting! |
| Holy SHIT WTF just happened??! Amazing animation on the TV broadcast, just brilliant direction and use of music! |
| That was a messed up episode.... Also, did anyone notice that Togusa paid a visit to the Laughing Man? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

Zepwich said: Confucius said: Also, did anyone notice that Togusa paid a visit to the Laughing Man? Yep! I was hoping for a short cameo =( Same, it would of been great to see him. As for the episode, the roof top scene sure was interesting :o |
Zepwich said: Confucius said: Also, did anyone notice that Togusa paid a visit to the Laughing Man? Yep! I was hoping for a short cameo =( Me too! |
| I liked this episode a lot. The last part of this episode was intense. ...I wanted a Laughing Man cameo too D: |
| Holy Crap! I missed this tension in my GitS, and this episode delivered! So all those samurai and ninjas went mass suicidal on the roof? That was crazy, so many interesting characters all at once going headless. Need to watch the next episodes as soon as I can. |

I was hoping for a short cameo =( Me too! yup2 i was actually hoping Aoi would show up!!!!!!!!! Aoi actually has the best library in the world. i think he has pretty much every book known to mankind!!!!!! love the animation and music, not to mention the suspense it makes. damn they cut their heads in live television O________O also Borma had a virus??? hope he's okay. who was the guy that killed himself saying he has the individual eleven??? amazing show keep it up :) |
| Great episode. That twist at the end. |
 |
| The tension! Awesome episode. |
 |
| Probably the best episode of the whole series so far! |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Awesome episode! Having goosebumps now.... |
| So much tention for one episode. The mass suicide was messed up though. |
 |
| Wow, that roof scene was fucking intense. |
 |
| Meh episode, some nice story development but the interest doesn't hold for the viewer! As for that white haired dude, I'm sure we'll see him again! |
 |
| Didn't expect that at the end, things are definitely getting tensed. |
| Hm, who was Kawashima? And what episode prior to this did they mention anything about a virus? How do they know about it? I almost felt like I skipped an episode :/ E - I think he was the GSDA guy in the FAKE FOOD episode who died. Still doesn't explain how they know about the virus. |

| Powerful eyebrows. |
| wow nice episode the swordsman remainded me characters from gintama |
 |
| The end of this episode was intense. Everyone was killed but the white haired dude has escaped. They combined all the essay's and the virus activated. I hope that Borma is ok. Can't wait to see the next episode. |
 |
| WOAH! The suspense and tension let off during the last minute of the show! I would want to learn of their true motives behind killing themselves off. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| Holy hell, what the fuck happened? That collective suicide was shocking, I guess it's what they were aiming for. I don't know where this is going, but I guess it will have a big impact. So there is a virus that is activated by the text of Eleven Individual? The cyborg white guy seemed to really need their ''bible''. |

| 5/5 I have not quite understood the significance of this episode, the story of the texts to trigger the virus was very guessed. Plot very smoky, but intriguing. Narration anxiety-provoking and well-managed. Drawings and animations good, very good OST. |
 |
| Oh snap. It seems that their heads came undone! |
 |
| That ending, WOAHHH. Also borma ;__; |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Yeesh what a crazy ending for an episode that was mostly focused on talking about an essay. Also lol at that terrorist dick-waving contest |

ZeMoose said: I think I missed/forgot something; which character is Kawashima? (The one whose "external memory" they kept referencing in this episode?) He was the cook at the vegetarian restaurant. Section 9 suspected he was connected to the bombings, and sought to take him into custody. However, the misinformed Section 1 killed him. Zepwich said: Confucius said: Also, did anyone notice that Togusa paid a visit to the Laughing Man? Yep! I was hoping for a short cameo =( Same here. I really wanted Aoi to appear, but as I thought, he didn't. According to his entry on MAL, he never shows up again after the closure of the Laughing Man case. |
| I didn't like the end of the episode, other than that everything is great. Good Episode. |
| I'm majorly confused, so their plan is to kill themselves? |
| But.. But why? Didn't make any sense, I certainly didn't understand the purpose |
"Signature removed"   |
| Didn't something go wrong with their plan? Or they legit though their deaths that would change society lol... Anyway, Hideo bailed! What he up to now? :O |

| Aoi is probably there, somewhere, hacking Togusa and reading an original edition of Individual Eleven. |
| -------- |
| That was creepy wtf is that ideology by killing each other though it was pretty interesting. |
| Damnn great episode really tense. I really liked the van scene where everybody was stating what they have done. They seemed really nice characters, hoped for some development around some but they are all dead…oh well Kinda guessed that the white one would survive Rooftop scene was badass |
 |
Confucius said: That was a messed up episode.... Also, did anyone notice that Togusa paid a visit to the Laughing Man? Before he went out, the first place I thought he would visit was Laughing Man himself lol And this episode is great! I thought those Individual Eleven dudes were going to attack somewhere (government building, refugee settlement, etc.) but this is even cooler (yet messed up). And I like when they discussing their achievement with pride. Ishikawa just simply punched Borma's head lol |
