| Shouko's downfall was that she didn't call the cops. That is all. |
| Female x Female = Yes Girl x Girl = Yes Vagina x Vagina = Yes Yuri = Yes Lesbian = Yes |
| Satou deseves to pay for the murder, but I cannot feel bad for Shouko destine when that was the path she chose to herself and consequence of the decissions she took. She was living the dream until the day her best friend left her. On the other hand, Satou's life was so fucked up that is a miracle that, at least, part of her can still do good for others. If she didn't killed the 'onichan' he would have killed Shio, the guys in the park were rapist and bullyers. We can only argue about Shouko, but if she did had not done that the one that would have the life ruined would be Shio. I disapprove both characters, but I have nothing to sympathize with Shouko. |
| Did she decapitate her? It seemed to me that she cut off her head. That was sad, Shouko was the most sane of all. |

AxBattler said: By the way does anyone know who is narrating during that scene? the whole thing with the bird? that's shio's voice. |
| Well, let's be honest, we all knew this was coming for a while now. It's interesting that right until the very end Shoko didn't give up on Satou, on hoping she could be "saved", but ultimately that hesitation at the door (when she should have just ran for her life and got out of there) is what gave Satou the chance to kill her. I am slightly curious about how Shoko found Satou's actual address, but the implication seems to be that she was trailing her since hearing Mitsuboshi on the phone to her (speaking of Mitsuboshi, why on earth did she lie to Asahi about knowing who he is? I still don't really get that one). There's also the question of why Satou's door was open like that, as I really doubt she's careless enough to just leave it open, or to not notice someone open it surreptitiously. Then there's the question of how Shoko's photo reached Asahi: she certainly never had a chance to send it, so how did that happen? Also, Satou made a serious mistake in killing with the knife like that and spewing blood everywhere: she could have just suffocated Shoko in her position and left far less of a mess to try and cover up, not to mention trying to hide the body itself. It's only a matter of time until this all comes crumbling down, and I seriously hope Satou gets the punishment she deserves for what she's done. |
She doesn't murder people because they are violent or inocent, she did that because they got in her way. MomoSinX said: What I don't get is why Shouko didn't run away, she was standing there for like a half a minute before Satou grabbed her Maybe the door is locked and she was waiting for Satou to open the door? The death scence was well done. Scary, bloody but not disgusting. Rip Shoko. Sure she was not perfect but in the anime everyone is pretty messed up, she was the most likeable character. We audience know how dangerous Satou is, but Shoko might just think Satou is hiding something. Plus Shoko only see the bright side of Satou until now, she definitely would not expect that. |

| I can’t tell if HSL will end up being one of the greats of tragedy and drama, or if it will be over the top, manipulative, sappy garbage. I’ve got it rated as a good solid 8 right now in the hope the final 3 episodes deliver. Now that we’re deep into the story and especially with this episode I believe that HSL is heavily inspired by Onikakushi-hen. The similarities I can see: 1) A mysterious violent opening scene followed by moe slice of life cuteness punctuated by a growing unease 2) The story is mostly told by the villain who may not be entirely reliable 3) A friend tries to save a friend from the darkness unto the death. 4(?) I predict HSL will also end in a moment of mind-numbing despair, though the girls fall/flight to eternity may be structured to be more uplifting because they will be together forever in death. Time will tell. A brilliant observation from another board: The song was called "Canaria" and they ended it on imagery of a Canary. That ties in perfectly with Shio’s narration during the song. A canary is a bird that is sent into hazardous coal mines to sense impending danger. As long as the canary keeps singing, the mines are safe. If it dies, it's a warning signal of hazardous gases. Shoko is the canary, and her song ended. I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed that HSL will end up being a modern classic. While it’s clearly not for everyone these grim tragedies have something to say about being human. |
| First, Asahi is such a smart kid for not believing mitsuboshi and that something sounded fishy. And it was cute how Shoko kinda confessed to Asahi. I knew she liked him when she was always caring for him at the park. Shio-chan is still a precious angel but i want her to know that Satou is evil :cry: And lastly, I CANT BELIEVE SATOU KILLED SHOKO I SCREAMED SO MUCH we even could see how she was killing her, it was a pain to watch tbh the sounds and everything and did anyone notice when they showed the auntie? next to her was the cap of the police officer guy.......that means he visited her again lol |

| Fuck Satou. I hope she gets a horrible death because she killed the best girl |
| Like...I gotta laugh at this show sometimes...it's so stupid. Everybody is crazy and the only sane one gets killed. Even Shio is a little unintelligent. I really hope Shouko gets the business. Tekakurika said: Thats what im wondering! Shio basically pushes her out of the door but Shouko can't break her grip. Is this bitch the incredible Hulk or what???Is Satou that strong that was able to hold Shouko like that? |

| Hmm, I wonder how did Shoko know Satou actually living at room 1208? In episode 7 Satou only bring Shoko to room 305 to meet her aunt isn't it? |
| Newbie :P |
kokomomo6 said: Agreed. Lame conflicts just for the sake of plot and tension. Most info are just dumped in your face without real development or build up. But the stupidest thing is how unreasonable everything is. The show thinks that having everyone be a psycho is cool. It's not. Well said... I’m in complete agreement. |
~ sXeblues - Reviews on Youtube ~ |
| I kind of enjoyed Shoko's death, since it's still a story and the creator did this for a reason. I do feel sad since their friendship is now completely destroyed and how it hurts Satou. Anyway I think killing her was a bad move. Now there's probably going to have an investigation. There's a lot Satou could've done to deceive Shoko. Shio is obviously very close to Satou so she could've said something like she was protecting Shio from Asahi or just anything and that would've been believable. But of course either way an investigation would be started I suppose. I'm just confused how Shoko was outside her apartment, which she shouldn't know where it is, and how her phone camera was open ready to take a picture so that she can catch Shio hugging Satou outside. That just doesn't make sense. |

| .............damn, it's now official that Satou is beyond saving, that ultimate betrayal 0__0 Satou has fully embraced the dark side. |

| And there goes best girl... Screw you, Satou. |

| Probably the biggest episode so I'll write a longer post than usual. I like the show better than I thought I would. Asahi & Mitsuboshi's scene was good. Paced well, executed well, Mitsuboshi's meltdown was consistent and believable. Asahi's monologue after that was even better. Asahi & Shouko's scene wasn't that good, despite being cute(and sad) as fuck from a shipper's perspective. Felt rushed, overdramatic(unrealistically) and all in all a bit jarring. Satou & Shio's scenes from 11~18 were decent, could have been better but functioned well as buildup scenes. Shio's lines on the couch about baking cakes were rhythmic and meshed well with the music, impressive moment Shouko's arc(as in the past few episodes) was handled well. Remember, she isn't a sweetie sweet innocent girl, I read her character as another one who desperately seeks love and attention, and needs to be in control; and in her case she attempted to pour love and attention to get her portion of it in return, first to the boys, next to Satou and finally to Asahi. The former didn't respond satisfyingly, but the latter did, or at least she manipulated him to do. Not a particularly complex character, but her character shift and actions are all easily rationally acceptable in the viewer's perspective, and credit should be given to the author. Not to say that the scenes this episode were particularly impressive. Creative screenwriting that does leave an impression, but not sure that was the most effective way to work the story. Song was mediocre at best and the narration wasn't as powerful as the producers would have liked it to be. |

Also, the teachers might call home before all that when she doesn't show up to school. The walls are indeed closing in around Satou |

| Wow, the only likable character gets killed. RIP. I didn't think we'd actually see the scene of how it happened tho. Curious to know what happens next! |
| oh my goodness I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE ACTUALLY DID THAT?!?! Shoko is such a sweet friend, I really thought she would be the one to help Satou through this if anything but to think Satou really doesn't give a single shit about her "BEST FRIEND" is insane...at least she was able to somehow send the picture though but still..that death scene was way too much for me, im so upsettttttttttt! |

AhmedHan said: But I don't understand, exactly at which moment, Shouko was able to send that message to Asahi? If she sent it while she was still outside, was she lying to Satou-chan all the time inside the house about not going to the police or about how she was her best friend? Notice that after taking the photo of Shio and Satou... Shouko was pushing buttons really quickly on her phone, just before Satou grabbed her. |

SquishyAngel said: Am I the only one who was genuinely happy?? I'd like for this anime to have a Satou x Shio happy psycopath crazy end as wrong as that is I was happy too. Shouko was a good girl indeed, but she was trying to do too much for her on good. I don't know why people hate Satou. She treats Shiou super well and she rescued her from whatever was happening to her at the time. She could give Shiou to the police, but it's not 100% sure that Shiou would have a better life if things went that route. Everyone that Satou killed until this point deserved and Satou is very hard working. So...why the hate? People here are as crazy as the character they say they hate. Shiou's fucking brother is broken too. How the hell her life with him would be better? It doesn't seem he has a job so i'm pretty sure her life with Satou is much much better than it would be with her dumb brother. I doubt many people here thought about this. Shiou's mother couldn't handle her abusive husband and the children suffered because of it. I have the impression that she was not treating Shiou that well too. I want to know how the mother died too. imouto said: oh my goodness I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE ACTUALLY DID THAT?!?!

People are talking about Shouko being Satou's best friend, but Satou said it herself...she didn't see Shouko as anything important. Shouko was NOT Satou best friend. She saw Satou like that, but Satou didn't reciprocate the feeling. Shouko was just another workmate for Satou. One that's more close thant the others, but she seemed to be just someone she hung out together while going after guys. Shouko had her chance to prove herself to Satou, but she failed and at that time Satou said that it was better for them to just keep being friends from work...that's how things were between them. Shouko tried to cross that line, but she failed. |

| Am I the only one that genuinely liked this episode? It was crazy, it was uncomfortable, and it was unsettling, which was exactly what it was supposed to feel like. It was shown how broken Asahi is and how Shoko tries to be nice to everyone she likes. I'm shocked people are rooting for Asahi to get Shio back when its been shown just how crazy and broken he is and how Shio is so much better off with Satou atm(I know that sounds crazy but here me out). It's been implied that the mom did something to Shio after their escape, the very fact that Shio doesn't even want to remember her past proves it, they even showed just how hard it is to live with their father back then and whenever she tries to remember her past all she feels is fear and is nausea. If Asahi gets Shio back can he even raise her the way he is now, can he even give her food? A place to stay? Basic necessities? Is it right for him to get Shio back? Sure, she's his family. Should he? Idk, like mentioned above he probably can't take care of her. Does that make what Satou has done just? Hell no, she's a criminal there's no changing that. Should she have Shio? It's morally not right since its basically kidnapping but its heavily implied Shio was better off and more happy with Satou than with her family which basically caused her trauma and in a way Satou probably saved her. The main attraction of this show is the contrast between morals and rights. Satou is fucked up but we still root for her cause she's genuinely caring of Shio and doesn't really try to kill everyone unless they REALLY have a chance of ruining her "happy sugar life". Then there's the contrast where Asahi who should be with his sister and is trying so hard to find her to the point that he became broken but at the same time is just incapable of giving her the same necessities and happiness that Satou is giving her now. Also Satou is actually somewhat a decently developed yandere compared to how others are just one because they are Then there's Shoko. Did she deserve what she did? Nope, she's a genuinely nice and caring girl(also normal, the normal part is pretty important, seeing as she's the only one). Did she had it coming? Satou gave Shoko a chance and she just blew it, she then works up the courage to try and redeem herself but it was too late and the way she did it was retarded(I mean taking a picture and standing there? Really?). She tried to try and get too involved and in the worst possible way she can. When the scene played out, I actually was completely satisfied she died just because the setup and flags were there and the points above, would be disappointed otherwise. I know that makes me sound crazy but I'm watching this show 9 eps in. You know what you signed up for the moment you finished ep 1. |

| In a world of lunacy and pyschos, normal-chan was the only girl that (most) people here could've at least somewhat related to. This status as a likeable character was only increased when she kissed poor brother-kun - one of few moments of light in such a miserable show. Her direct attempts at reaching out to shio threw her en route to her own coronation as Best Girl of the entire show. but then shio slit her throat rip seriously it's a huge shame because i really liked normal-chan. the relationship with normal-chan and Satou was really the only one I cared about because it was the only one that had potential to be brought into the light. weird-teacher-fucko no one cared about pedo-fucker was slightly better but neither did i care about him shio's ""aunt"" is hot but hasn't appeared to be of any significance (her seduction of the police guy was fucking stupid lmao) brother-kun's only interesting relationship that was starting to prop up was w/ normal-chan (who is dead) dynamic between satou and shio is obviously important and of note, but doesn't get past the basics of "wow satou is really really really really really obsessed with shio and would do crazy shit to protect her" as far as I can tell normal-chan's death is the most disturbing event of the entire show so-far, partially because she was someone you could've kinda cheered for (I certainly was). Her death demands for blood, the results of her death better be more than just moving the plot along and notifying brother-kun of who has shio, otherwise the notion that this show is indeed garbage will only be cemented Wishender said: Shoko's death...their friendship is now completely destroyed oh, lmao you don't fucking say??? |

If you're satisfied an innocent girl was murdered because she was worried about her friend (who had shown 0 violent tendencies towards her beforehand) then I think there's something wrong with you. Yes, I know what I signed up for, but that still doesn't mean what Satou did was right or that it left me "satisfied" rather, it left me disgusted. |

Austro said: KaeUBW said: Everyone that Satou killed until this point deserved and Satou is very hard working. So...why the hate? People here are as crazy as the character they say they hate. Shouko didn't deserve to die, you know that. I should have worded it better...i meant to say "until Shouko". She was good girl and was trying to help, unfortunately she saw what she shouldn't. But we can see that in the end Shouko chose Asahi over Satou. She not only took a picture of Satou and Shiou (like wtf?), but also sent it immediately regardless what consequences Satou would face from this. So she was not that GREAT FRIEND that everyone is saying. She was totally going to side with Asahi simply because she liked him even though he is broken and has no condition to take care of Shiou. I'm happy she actually died like that. I like how Satou doesn't hold back when it comes to Shiou and she stays true to her character. @DodeDagon Agree 100% with you. Read my post above and you'll see that i said the same thing about Asahi not being a good choice for Shiou and Satou taking good care of her. |
