| I was seriously stunned in awe by this episode. Words can't describe how good this episode was. |

Kurini said: That ride! I totally felt in love with this anime at that moment. The OST was beautiful too. Vexper said: Fantastic use of the OST they've put together, the atmosphere this anime is pushing is incredible. I so agree. The ride was really cool. The OST in this episode was amazing. Totally had that awesome feel to it. |
 "Later on, you will become a lively person causing headaches as the shrine-god." |
| Best episode yet. The use of the OST was perfect. |
| This show keeps getting better. Shibazaki answered the question but still it didn't stop the bomb. Police Department must be getting crazy now that information leaked to the public. Hamura needs to listen to Shibazaki and stop being cocky. |

| amazing episode this will be the favorite in summer and guys what was the song when lisa was on the bike with hisami? |
SeTzu said: and guys what was the song when lisa was on the bike with hisami? It's by a band called "POP ETC" They used to be called "the morning benders" back when they were better, lol I suggest listening to some of their stuff. |
| For me, this episode solidified the fact that this anime has one of the best OST's ever. |

| -Still crying- Oh my god that was the best episode of anything ever. I'm pretty sure Lisa collapsed from anemia and exhaustion. She didn't have a job and probably didn't have an allowance so she was most likely unable to get enough food (as seen in the restaurant scene where she only had a drink) . She also didn't have any friends to get loans from and was unable to take money because she was barricaded in her room. Because she had nowhere to stay she was probably on alert all the time due to her anxiety and stuff happening like when the two guys came up to her. Also, Twelve actually has feelings ermergerd |

Or maybe it is for the people themselves.... It's just a play on BOOOOOOM. If you notice, the girl on the screen keeps saying 'Von' (the blue dialogue bubbles). So instead of saying the usual Boom! or Kaboom! they just used VOOOON! hahahaha. I thought it was neat. :D It doubles their emphasis on the message as VON. |

| I'm totally in the mood for some late night bike cruising right now... except I don't own a bike. Damn! |
| I could see this anime become a live action movie, it feel so modern. This one brilliant of a show. I can't believe its only 11 episodes. |

BRK25 said: Oh, anyone think the chess game has a hidden meaning? Like should've gave up the queen? Reminds me of Lisa and maybe shows she may very well be a risk and end up making them lose less they dispose of her. LOL. This show is full of puns and intentions. It's obviously a reference to Lisa. That he should've disposed of her back when she was carrying the bomb. One sacrifice would mean saving their own asses for the masses. :P hehehe. Come to think of it, if they had killed her off then, then the twist would've been about a 'suicide bomber in a government building'. Wonder how that trajectory would've been. They do have more chances of slipping up.. But it was a nice scene to see, cinematographically intended also, 12 being chased by police on the bike and him/them escaping cos they're too fast for them. :D Plus, in the Sphinx video, hahahaha.. 12 said that he liked curry and Soba noodles. I totally laughed there! It was such a direct reference to Shibazaki.. he was having ramen right then and the fat companion also comments on his choice of taste. :)))) Poor guy had to pay for his 'treat'. lol. |

| By the way, did nobody catch the bombshell of a hint at Nine's background/intentions? "Well when I asked him what his pops did, he suddenly got real quiet. I thought maybe I'd hit a nerve or something" *Shibasaki stares* "Father, Oedipus, killing his father...riddles, bombs, and plutonium..." As we all know, Oedipus was abandoned by his father for fear of his own mortality. Nine was "abandoned" by someone...or something? We still don't know if he is a naturally born human or a product of science. Assuming he is the latter, perhaps his "father" is not a person but can maybe be Society as a whole. He is exceptional, yet 'man made' and is not 'fit' to be a part of "normal" society so he is "abandoned" aka taken out of normal society. Maybe this is why he makes these bombs and takes the plutonium. Perhaps he has given himself to a fate similar to Oedipus in which he kills his "father." But I'm kind of stuck at that point in my theory. Not all the pieces of the puzzle fit in my mind, so any insight from some of you would be nice ^__^ |

I thought it was neat. :D It doubles their emphasis on the message as VON. I guess if you pronounce vooooon it kinda does sound like boooom. Yeah they're really emphasizing the word Von. I wonder if Twelve and Nine are trying to help the public, or merely enlighten them? Maybe they're trying to reveal what was done to them at the orphanage and trying to expose Japan's dark side? All these questions that will hopefully be answered in due time. |
| It is getting better and better! And wow! This is a first time, when I seen proper hacking in movies and anime! Find open port (or webshell... but it is kinda strange, that police is using such lame security) wget! And run your script! (Yeah who cares about passwords or ssh keys, but anyway, it was shown very good) And that bitcoin alternative hah. 5/5! |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| another brilliant episode once again. i'm glad it focused more on lisa, nine and twelve. the last 5 minutes were brilliant. so the bomb was actually an information leakage about the whole case. besides shibasaki the rest of the detectives aren't that useful. i was kinda surprised they actually used amazon. also, it kind of seemed like nine and twelve planned on the cops "cheating". the ost never fails to impress either |

This 'someone' can also be a 'something'. He probably got quiet cos Nine might be thinking of his 'pops' as the institution... and the institution as a place of authority falls under the organizational structure, as flawed as it may be, of 'Japan'. So indirectly, his 'father' would be the institution of Japan itself, or, as this episode illustrated, the Information Society that is controlled, is controllable, and is manipulated by higher authorities. Now then, consider "Father, Oedipus, killing his father...riddles, bombs, and plutonium..." :) Again: http://gurstein.wordpress.com/2014/07/17/the-information-society-is-in-crisis-and-what-to-do-about-it/ btw, what's the Tvtropes thing? |

And I love every second of it. It seems plausible but not entirely true cause things are bound to happen. wow that was great, thanks for putting me in the right direction *thumbs up* |
| Oh man, that scene on the bike.Another amazing episode. |
 |
| This series keeps getting better and better. One thing that was kinda bugging me though is how the police department doesn't seem to have very much faith in Shibasaki... I mean he managed to solve 2 of the riddles before anyone else could but they still didn't seem to care about anything he was saying this episode even though he ended up solving the riddle once again... |

| The motorcycle scene at the end was beautiful. |

| AMAZING one episode after another it just continues to be perfect. |

| Woah 2 intense cliffhangers. It's highly likely that the bomb will actually kill people this time. Hopefully Lisa will be okay. The song during the bike chase was really nice. Loved the focus on Nine, Twelve and Lisa. Finally Lisa joined Nine and Twelve. When Lisa collapsed it got me thinking, is the whole trio going to die in the end? o-o It doesn't seem too farfetched. Can't wait for the next episode! |
“You should enjoy the little detours. To the fullest. Because that’s where you’ll find the things more important than what you want.” —Ging |
| Aside from a few bad lines, this was an excellent episode. Nine needs better development though; he's kind of shallow right now. 4/5 |
Maerow said: pLaguE_ said: What was shitty about it? I can't explain too much with my level in English but... Hated how Shibazaki solved the riddle, just.. NO, too cliché, can't take it, it ruined the whole episode. Cliche? Perhaps. Executed well? Yes. |
|
| Awww awawawawaw I sense some Twelve x Lisa going on. |
