----------------------------------------
I don't doubt Kotoko's theory about a mastermind behind all this drama.

Plus, they should really take care of Nanase if they want to avoid further casualties. I do wish the pacing of this show picked up more though. It's still revolving with this Nanase case. But hey, Kotoko is still keeping me entertained enough.

Uploaded with no subs, sasuga CR-Sama. Luckily I speak JP. But, there's going to be some angry folk



Waiting to make sure Kotoko was properly together before opening the door to let Saki in, giving headpats to acknowledge how hard his girl is working and having food for her when she wakes up, Kuro's a king. Love to see it. Have to say though, idk what it is but I find Saki very attractive and think she may be best girl for me tbh.

Great episode with lots of funny moments that we've come to expect. Even though the show is exposition heavy it never feels like too much, it flows very naturally. looks like we're coming up to the big fight with nanase next week. Can't wait to see how the final 4 eps go, has certainly been a fun ride. The idea of anime existing to promote the source material definitely worked on me. Bought the novel and manga last week


Edit: they're up now

This episode went by so quickly! You can tell that a show is good when it manages to completely immerse you in its world. It's also nice that the method of dealing with Steel-Lady Nanase is something other than the usual "let's duke it out until deus ex machina protagonist luck let's us magically win." I for one can't wait to see what solution Kotoko comes up with.
Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day!

Damn... probably my most favorite episode so far because of how engaged I was. Don’t know why but I was more focused on this one than the rest. Also get read for a dialogue Bomb because those 4 solutions Kotoko’s will come up with will be flooded with dialogue, much MUCH MUUUCHHH more than what we seen so far.

I swear I only started the episode like 10 minutes ago, yet it was already over. Why do fun things fly by so quickly! Pretty great episode, eventho not a lot happened this episode, it was once again nice to see them think about solutions to face Nanase. The mysteriousness of this show really does it job well to keep me interested to the fullest.

I do have to say that I thought that Kuro and Saki's reuniting would become way more awkward, love that there's no hard feeling between them and that they can act as normal. Chemistry between them is really good.

Kotoko laying on bed with her prosthetic leg detached and her artificial eye in it's casing was at first a bit odd, but afterwards I found it oddly charming for some reason...

Great episode as always. Looks like they'll talk more about Rikka in the next episode, and they'll finally start trying to stop Steel Beam Nanase in Episode 9. If we really go with the one chapter every episode, they'll really end it by the last episode, which is good, but a lot of people probably wouldn't like it, since she offers one solution per chapter.

Also, is it just me, or does anyone else think Kotoko's sense of balance is insane?? I mean, she only has one leg, so standing up straight without any support and without focusing on it is already hard, but doing that on a bed out of all things is pretty much insane.

Honestly, that moment brought such a smile to my face. I binged the manga last week because this show got me so excited, and now I really want more. Such a unique and incredible story.

Quite low production values. At 19:40 when they are walking through the hall someone thought the sounds of "random tapping" would fit with their footsteps. Regretful.

Kuro's cousin looks pretty similar to the person that was in front of the computer at the end of the previous episode.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

I'm sorry but this Nanase "arc" REALLY needs to be wrapped up soon because it's starting to hurt my brain with all the dragging out this is doing.

Yes you need to come up something to cancel out Nanase's popularity/existence to come up with a believable lie, I understood that last episode already. I don't think that point needs to be pounded into anymore...

Sigh....If Nanase STILL isn't taken down in the next episode (which is a pretty good chance of happening by inserting Rikka-related informational background backflash now) I'm going to have to dump this to my on hold pile with the other anime's that lost potential/interest....and that'd be very sad because I really really REALLY did like this series when it first started....

So Rikka is fuelling the rumours online? It must be her because she looks exactly like the woman at the computer last episode.

At first I thought they could spread a rumour that there was a Steel Lady Nanase fanatic who was actually killing whilst cosplaying as Steel Lady Nanase but then I realised that there would still be too much risk that that idea itself would fuel the rumour more... I'm really intrigued to know what Kotoko's 4 solutions are!

The Steel Lady Nanase isn't stopping her tracks down as her arc continues to more massacre and blood fate.

Pretty much Saki and her upper superintendent have got the gist of what Nanase is after, but to stop it, it's gonna take a whole lot of effort to stop humans from spreading more rumours (that is on Kuro and Kotoko's side) as the fuel for Nanase's power and strength.

As truth is spat out, logical fiction doesn't help anymore as it's shrouded in mystery. Instead, even if the trio decides to lie their way through, that isn't probable information if it isn't foundation. The only way around it is empty fiction, and Kotoko's been the backbone for this whole while.

To add to the mystery, a third party surfaces? Kuro's cousin Rikka to boot, and I sense a massive red herring.

Rikka is hot. I wonder what sort of involvement she has with the case. Given that Kuro's grandma were insane and tried to experiment her grandchildren, it's not surprising that Rikka got some powers as well.

And Kuro had a thing for Rikka. Is it possible that he hasn't gotten over her, even while dating Saki. I mean, he did say he was gonna defend her, but someone (Terada) died.

Idk if it's because of translation issues but there were too many repeating dialogues. I couldn't focus half the time.

This ep unlike the prev 2 was so dang slow. I hope they wrap this up soon. Dragging things longer will only decrease my interest.
Also whats with people saying Rikka's hot? she's as thin as a fcking twig. That being said she looked a hell of a lot like Saki.

The case of Nanase is still getting out of hand, not sure where it's gonna goes at this point.

And this Rikka, she really resembles Saki about almost everything. There really is no fine line between obsession and reality.

Trust me, it’s not going to get quicker anytime soon. Those 4 solutions Kotoko talked about, they will be very very long.
I think there’s going to be 4 separate episode dedicated to explaining the each of them because are really long.

It was odd at first to see Kotoko lying on her bed, typing away on her laptop while having her fake eye and prosthetic leg removed, but I got used to it quickly. She was still like this when Kuro came into the room and they started talking.

I laughed when she got upset about Kuro mentioning about Nanase's big bust and she ripped him apart, thinking he wanted to grab Nanase's boobs during the fight from before. XD

Eventually, Saki arrived and the three of them got into intense dialogue mode, hypothesising about what was the best way to take down Nanase, now made more difficult after Terada's death by Nanase in the last episode.

Eventually, Kotoko finally fought of the plan needed to take down Nanase. Kuro responded to this by giving her a well-deserved head pat. =3

I hope they can take Nanase down in the next episode or two.

So this Rikka person was obviously the woman we saw stoking the fire of the rumours at the end of last episode, so the show has some explaining to do about her circumstances and how she's alive when she's so far been presented as being dead.

So it was Rikka the one who Kurou was visiting at the hospital.. fool of me for not noticing it earlier since the key word "cousin" was already mentioned a good amount of times.

Anyways, another engaging episode. Kurou may not show it with his face or words but I liked the little details he has with Kotoko.

Regarding dialogues, I think they flowed in a very natural way without them feeling forced and though some things were already said in the previous episode, they really didn't bother me that much. If anything, they helped me remember some aspects I might have forgotten considering the show's weekly release.

This said, I look forward to these four explanations Kotoko has in order to counter Nanase.
