| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Enemies galore? Kakihana definitely misinterpreted his circumstances while still being lovestruck onto his animal Tinder match...right into the heart of the situation by luck. So the chimp Dobu is just part of the operation that the hippo Kuroda hired to intercept Odakawa about the missing school girl (which allegedly is their boss Donraku's daughter), and what a lengthy confrontation that Odakawa managed to keep a calm face about it despite being targeted at point blank. Add the Big Daimon police that is in cahoots into the equation, and this mysterious Yano character who's had a falling-out with them, Odakawa is essentially cornered and bought into this whole fiasco. Even with the heart-to-heart talk with alpaca Shirakawa, the snide remarks give me a small chuckle, as well as Shirakawa's surprise in marital arts...fake ones though. I love watching the conversation between Shrakawa and Odakawa, it's constructive liberalism back-and-forth at its finest, though that slight romance vibes between the two paints a grim picture. Trying to teach Odakawa something about love is not easy nor simple...when Kakihana can just cheat his way through speccing his "stats" higher than most. It's the FEELING of attachment. And meeting his match-made partner Shiho is just blushes all over for Kakihana...not realizing that he too, like Odakawa, can be won over easily through the "feeling" of love. The mystery just keeps on stacking with more missing people and shady background characters. |

| Oh.. that opening sequence with Kakihana was funny. Looks like Odokawa got in quite a mess. Also, that corrupted police guy helping criminals out. Shirakawa is so sweet. I love how cute Odokawa acts when she's around. Also, those funny martial arts movements. In the end, I'm not getting good vibes from the guys following Kakihana like that. Gonna look for the next week's episode. |
 |
| It seems that in the end he had to end up making a deal because the older brother cop is helping Dobu, he seems to have a personal problem with the taxi's drivers 0.0 Slowly, Odakawa and Shirakawa's relationship is improving Once again we are left at the most interesting part, can't wait for next week (≧◡≦) |
| This anime resonates with me on so many levels, love it. Give me all the Coen Brothers feels. |
| Wow, the walrus guy had surprisingly normal date. But why every episode must end on cliffhanger? |
| Odakawa's didn't mind being held at gunpoint, he was as chill as always lol. An idol meeting up with a guy, that surely won't end well. |
 |
| I hope Ichimura(Shiho) isn't involved with the kidnappings actively or being used as honey trap by the Manager and his polar bear mate. I know is the same level of our society, but kidnap a gorilla sounds difficult anyway. |
 |
| Honestly the scene between Odakawa and the sheep might be one of the funniest scenes of this year yet. When the busted out the capoeira for the second time I lost it. Anime rarely make me bust out in laughter and this anime pulled it of. Also I love how the stories are set up and then intertwine with eachother to create tense moments and great pay-offs. This anime knows how to foreshadow and set-up its plotpoints. |
| To the guy that theorized on last episode's forum that the fact that they are all animals is just because of Odokawa's accident and that he is the only one who perceives them that way... so far you might be on to something actually. No mention of animals was present in this one and Odokawa made that alpaca origami on the bar. Hmmmm... |

| Still have no idea what's going on but I'm enjoying this show so far. A lot of mystery to it with a lot of cliff hanger lol... |
| Nice police corruption. The conversation in taxi was pretty deep. The mystery is getting more and more complicated. The story's only just begun. |

| The beginning of the ED always reminds me of Gakkou Gurashi OP lol! |
| Getting more intriguin with each episode and the date lol. Seeing them both together reminds of Sagwan and Sebun from Beastars. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

| The first sequence was hilarious, I would react the same way. |

At first I thought she was just doing some gold digging to get out of what it looks like a shitty idol job but with the manager popping up it does seem like a honey trap, hopefully for Kakihana, Shiho is actually being honest and the manager is just going to crash her date because idols can't date/have boyfriends but by the tone of the show I doubt it. |
| The Dialogue is so crisp and authentic! Shirakawa's story about watching Timelaps videos on the internet is probably the most relateable bit of talk, done in Anime, I've seen for a while. I feel the Show tackles a lot of overlooked aspects in modern society....Like the scene where Odokawa discovers Kakihana lying about his income, on his dating profile or last episodes Supporting-Idol-Girls talking about self-esteem. Love this so far. But since it's an original.....there's is always the chance of it going down in the last 3rd.... Trying to curb my hype, right now^^ |
 |
| Okay some questions are finally getting answered but we still do not know who that High School Girl is overall. I think she might be in that Idol group but I could be wrong. She is definitely still living with Odokawa but I wonder why. Now Gouriki is missing. Things keep getting more and more interesting every week. |

| This story has a strong tragicomic feeling, and I am not yet sure whether I'll bust out laughing or crying by the end. Likely both, not that Odokawa would care either way. Why is life so complicated? Why is love? I miss the simple days of my youth. |
| If I could be an expert in just one arcane, and madness inducing field of study, it would be you. |
Rifle said: This anime resonates with me on so many levels, love it. Give me all the Coen Brothers feels. I hadn't thought of that aspect of the series..... but I do agree! Yes indeed it reminds me of things like Blood Simple. Just the rain and shadows everywhere. Nobody seems completely good or bad..... just varying degrees of it. Loving this series. |
 |
| Don't mind me, I'm just excited that finally Kuroda (the same VA who voiced Kiryu Kazuma-chan) finally debuted. |

| the humor in this anime is sometimes so dry but it works. they make something like that work well its amazing. also looks like kakihana is gonna be in trouble, an idol group member met up with him for his money i suppose? |
| Odakawa's personality always seems to stand out no matter who he's with or who he's talking to |
 ManWild |
| Great episode, Kakihana mistaking Kiryu Tapir to be talking to him was hilarious. I wish to have the level of calmness that Odokawa has while at gunpoint. So, the missing high school girl is their boss's daughter huh, but why did Kiryu Tapir say that it was his fault that she ran away? More mysteries yipee. That was a pretty solid plan by Odokawa, but sadly it was that corrupt cop Big Daimon. Who that person Big Daimon remembered in an accident though, are taxi drivers involved in some way with that? Odokawa and Shirokawa's interactions are great, but I still can't really trust Shirokawa yet, because of that whole missing drugs in the hospital and now Goriki, a wholeass gorilla is missing as well. Damn, Kakihana really be desperate for lying in a dating app like that. I'm guessing the manager is using Shiho to extort money from Kakihana, cause I remember that their agency was having money problems I think. Well, not like Kakihana got any money lmao. Looking forward to the next episode. |

| This show keeps getting better and better. Miho is literal Eddy Gordo. |
| I had to change this because some loser couldn't make an actual argument. So....yeah I hope you guys like the new sig. |
| another g r e a t episode, so odakawa really doesn't fright death huh? also I don't really ship him and lama-chan so I hope something will change (either her character gets better or the love interest changes) also I kinda miss the teenage boy from the first episode even though he was annoying I'm afraid kakihana will get in major trouble in the next episode mans really unlucky |
| Are there only two police officers in the city? lol |

|
| Goddamn impressive. Burst out laughing at the capoeira scene. Plus that taxi scene was atmospheric asf |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Damn what an interesting episode And of course Odokawa was being tracked by the Yakuza |
| Damn that conversation that Odokawa had with the Dobu was good, I knew something was fishy Kakihana was meeting up with the girl. |
 |
| looks like things are getting rough for Odokawa huh... trouble is on the way!! 5/5 |
 |
| this continues to be so fucking good ,something bad is gonna happen very soon it might be a shake down since they think this poor sap is loaded that park scene with Shirakawa was so funny i really like Odokawa's interactions with everyone |

XD Too bad he didn't say, "Nani?" Yeah, unlike Sullivan from Iruma-kun (who also voiced by Kuroda), this one sounds legit coming from Kiryu himself. |
|
| My God! Its been a lot of time since a show gave me this amount of fun, suspense and joy. |

| Another stella episode, always leaving me wanting more, which can't be said about a lot of anime this season. |
| Funny with Kakihana and the guy at the phone - in the beginning. :D |
| lmao that guy was the yakuza boss |
| Well, so Dobu guy told himself that he was not involved with the missing high school girl case. But he dragged out someone into the messed up case too. Interesting way of direction, finally they mentioned that again after having a ridicule moment previously. I am still not trusting anyone so far, cause there is no way everyone telling the truth there. Especially while the mystery nuance felt so strong at this point. Still, one thing for sure from this episode: poor Kakihana and his dream of life that went too far from a reality, which made him not even realized being targeted. Well, i mean, yeah, its looks fuck up enough to me, so yeah good luck with that. Surprisingly, Odokawa dream of life looked smooth so far there. Shirakawa apparently had a good sense of humor, i like when somehow a random music appeared when she practiced that random capoeira movement. Good shit, even though the later turn of event once again alerted me, there is something suspicious about her approaching to Odokawa. Interesting to see more of those new guy. The intense action might happen soon, so i am really looking forward to that. |
