To think they are calling this hell hole a school.

Tch tch tch Joe, when a dirty hag come to you like that....
you slits the dirty bitch throat, cut her to pieces and feed her to the dogs! The same goes to the guy who "bought" Meg.

Now I do understand why sometimes when parents got cornered pretty bad took their children's lives and then theirs, not that I think it is right, but when you know how fuck up live is actually is you'd rather decent in the bowel of hell than to let your children go through that.

What a depressing episode. I felt really sorry for both Joe and Megu. My only complaint is that the authors went over the top with the "rapist face" father. I think it was adequately hinted that Megu was being sold rather than adopted.

I really liked this episode... much better than the first. I think the darker background really stepped it up a notch.

I dunno, but for some reason it gave me the impression of triteness. Good episode nevertheless. The second half was utterly disturbing. The atmosphere somehow makes me remember Monster, only a different setting.

hmm.. decent drama. But of course it gets ruined by the stupid anime scene at the end...
"thank you brother" after she did all that bullshit? comeawnmang!
Lol Joe rode the midnight train to grandma ^_^ To be a little technical, how did she even find pleasure in riding a preteen? Aren't their dicks no bigger than an inch or two?
And what a lucky ass foster 'dad' haha. Dudes like him are why theres regulations and such now but are still easy to work around.

The beginning scene almost made me scream HAJIME NO IPPO MEETS PRISON BREAK! like i did last ep discussion.

This was borderline bad. Again, I felt the heavy hand of the directors trying to lighten up the mood of this piece, while over-exaggerating the morally black characters as "villains." I feel a little insulted by how Joe looks as opposed his rapist, and the guy taking in Megu. There is a lack of subtlety that I find pedestrian about this show.


Lol yea. I hoped at least they would do either all like Kaiji-style, or all normal style...

Well, the manga decided the artwork anyway.....

RAINBOW is awesome so far! Very thought-provoking and touching!

So do you guys thing that Megu is aware of what's going to happen?
Why did she react this way? Could it be that she has a plan B??

I think we will find out in the next episodes...

that was rather sad. especially when meg was screaming after joe had left.

anyway, i dont think the escape was unrealistic... theyre in juvenile detention & it was in 1955.

liking this anime so far, although it reminds me of the movie 'sleepers' (brad pitt, kevin bacon)

such a depressing episode :( but good none the less

"I am the bone of my sword,
Steel is my body and Fire is my blood,
I have created over a thousand blades,
Unknown to Death,
Nor known to Life,
Have withstood pain to create many weapons,
Yet, those hands will never hold anything,
So as I pray, unlimited blade works"

OMG! can't believe I totally ignored watching this show since last season! this show is AWESOME!

I was so filled with emotions watching this episode..

Damn that old hag shit. the moment I saw her face, I already had an idea what her dark deeds had been, damn! And why the hell does Meg seems to be facing the same fate also, I really wish they get a good ending at the end..

only watched 2 episodes so far, and I'm already at my emotional limit already, guess I'll continue watching the other episodes later after I recovered.. damn that old hag shit!!

This episode was really hard to watch. I think I cried through at least half of it.
Poor Joe...OMG...Poor Joe
That Orphanage Director...what an evil wench!!!
And probably out of spite, she SOLD Megu to a man that will probably rape her every day of her life.
And Spoon...OMG...Poor Spoon. Does he have ringworm or is that just a bad haircut?
I can't wait to learn about Sakuragi's past.

Joe...FUCKING GRANDMA. FUCKING OLD MAN. I want Sakuragi to go on a rampage and knock out but of those wretched humans. I'm scared for Megu, I really hope something/someone saves her.

This anime sets an entire new standard for anime. Takamu...er.. Sakuragi's past is really intriguing me, I need to know what he did.

Awesome episode. I love it when characters truly expressing themselves withing the context of their personality.

There's one thing I don't understand; what the fuck is wrong with the sister?

Your brother escapes prison, runs head first into a trap because he cannot wait to see you, and that's how you respond? Tells him the coldest words ever and just leave only to cry her heart out.....?

Seriously, dumbest thing I ever heard of. She thinks she's helping him by forcing him to forget about her, think she's so mature. If anything you just took away his only motivation for staying alive.

The man just broke out of prison and got caught trying to reach you, the least you can do is show him your grateful and put on a water show. She could of easily just chose the same route without crushing his only hope of seeing the outside world.



Surely this will make the story more interesting, but damn. Pointless self-sacrifice is pointless; and makes be angry >:P

An improvement on the first episode as they started developing the characters. However, I did find this quite melodramatic. I don't like the way they're milking emotions from the viewers by making all the antagonists so cartoonish, so completely evil. You can even tell from the looks of the guard, the orphanage keeper and the foster father that they're bad guys. I guess that's something I'll have to overlook if I want to like this series. It's just such a cheap way of making us like the protagonists to make the opponents so evil.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of how the series has all the antagonistic characters so ugly and I'm also having a tough time understanding the sisters actions. I did really like Turtle's flash back though.
