Oh dear, Nice better find out soon that Art is dead and the one posing him is Moral.


Ok, I'm guessing that Moral's twisted plan includes Art being a minimum holder.

I don't get it... why do they have to keep showing us with crap episodes that accomplishes almost nothing?? it's one thing to create filler, it's another thing to create STUPID filler. This episode has the same taste as that gay robbers from a few episodes back. The case and the story were too god damn stupid (even vanilla) I ended up skipping most of the episodes.

Information broker "traveling on business" my ass! They couldn't pull a more cliche coincidence if they try. Fuck this shit! I'd have dropped this if it wasn't because I wanna see how they deal with Moral, I guess I can hold this until the final episode.

I understand that the mood of this episode upset a lot of people, but the truth is, no one actually /knows/ that Art is dead. I'm not sure how the other characters are supposed to react to something they don't know about?

Moral disguised himself as Art, and talked to Nice on the phone. So while the viewer knows that Art is dead, even Nice assumes Art is still alive- but just acting strange.


Yes. ^
This episode was ok, I felt it was really jumping all over for a minute, then the triathlon. When Honey's mighty said it didn't work in sea water, please repair, I literally started laughing more than I should have lol she was so certain. Well this episode had a couple of funny moments as well.

My theories after watching this episode:

- Moral doesn't need to kill someone to be able to impersonate him/her.
- Moral has an assistant? That's pretty surprising... What kinda girl would work with Moral, anyways? I think this girl might have something to do with Hajime (remember ep 3 Hajime said she'd seen the purple monster before?)
- I actually hoped Art wouldn't really die but... maybe his body was gonna be thrown away, or burned, or something by that girl. I don't see why would Moral go for the trouble giving Art a minimum after Art said he doesn't want it. After all, Moral's logic was "providing opportunity", and therefore if one doesn't wanna take that opportunity, it means he is weak - why would Moral give him a Minimum at all? What I think will happen is that Moral planning to be Art forever and show up in front of Nice as his "best friend" after he got his "same-on-Nice's-level" Minimum.
- Or... Art is going to be given the Minimum. After all, the last scene on Moral going to revive all those people on operation tables would make you think like that, right? But Hamatora is pretty unpredictable, so I kinda doubt that.

Still, poor Art... I love his mole, too.

I'm disappointed- I found this episode to be pretty lame. That guy really didn't need to hire Hamatora at all and the beach gang triathlon thing was boring to me.

Also, does anyone think Hajime is a bit of a cliche? Actually, she's more like two cliches in one- the character who doesn't speak much and the character who loves food. I don't think that's a winning combination.

Entertaining episode, but honestly, this show would be much better if they cut the comedy and the filler-like story. I would prefer something like Psycho Pass where it was mostly dark and gloomy most of the time. Like, this episode would be more fitting as an OVA...

If i was right, Moral's pistol was gold last episode, right? why it could become black this episode? --"

battle between Murasaki and Nice is pretty good. and this episode provides some fanservice, eh? Rei's body is nice lol

and I just realize something weird, it said that Gasuke (Art's assistant) and Art were already killed by Moral, right? then why at the end of the episode they met each other? .....

Oh, no... gdi Moral, he's impersonating Art.
Also as some people said, i didn't really like this episode because c'mon, after of what happened last episode, they gave us an episode with such a happy atmosphere?
But yeah, that cliffhanger though.
I do hope that the real thing will happen soon.

Compared to this one, the previous two episodes were masterpieces. Somehow the whole episode was dull to me. They can do a beach/spa episode, but they could have made them a lot better in my opinion. Ok, there was that thing about Murasaki always losing to Nice, but that's about it. The rest of the episode was kind of empty.

Meh episode overall, only thing interesting was that female and whatever Moral is doing there at the end, which is pretty much the same with every episode. I seriously have no idea what the fuck Moral's trying to do... but I hope it's as interesting as it seems.

Celestrial2 said:
you guys are taking this episode the wrong way. IMO this episode was really meaningful in that it showed how people who are typically losing felt. I thought the the episode was really good
It's not the moral (no pun intended) of the episode that made it hard to enjoy, it's that we had a pure beach episode when things are starting to get serious. Aside from the fact that they had to have not only a hot spring episode, but now a beach episode as well... the characters seemed pretty out of character this time around.

While humorous , Ratio doesn't really seem like the type to just do that stupid laugh(I did get a big laugh out of "you guys didn't have to do that", though). And there was that information broker all of a sudden being a really mischievous loud-mouth announcer for a sports event in Okinawa. It successfully pulled off a funny episode that delved into the problems of being friends with someone who's perfect, but with the rest of the show it felt really off, and unneeded.

Three's reaction "I'm more of a cat!" was kind of funny too, I guess.

Wow wtf, that's a pretty random and pointless change... but I didn't even notice until others pointed it out. I can't really see that being an accident though, it would be cool but unlikely if it was actually for a purpose.

Heh, yep the moment I saw this guy I thought "Seymour much?"... I didn't really think the other one looked like Jecht though, but I guess he kind of resembles him with the facial hair and bandana. The Seymour one was a complete copy though, lol.

Edit: Oh, and it looks like Gasquet actually is somebody seperate from Moral, that makes me happy at least.

I you don't like the constant mood changes, then stop watching the anime. I doubt it's going to change this far into the show. As a matter of fact, I actually like that it doesn't get too serious or silly for too long.
And I don't think Moral has to kill someone before he can turn into them, so I doubt he ever killed Art's assistant. He just changed into him when the real one wasn't around.

the bro with the hairdo was really funny, and that fight at the end of nice and murasaki i really liked. reminds me of the relationship of sonic and knuckles once upon a time. i wish it would have lasted longer tho. this anime needs more action than a *snap* and instant pwnage. i thought the inverted (or whatever) colors when the power is shown was distracting and lame, but i've grown used to it.

i understand this episode not continuing after the previous cliffhanger, but they gotta stretch out 12 eps somehow.

Guy suddenly coming back to reality because he heard what Murasaki said was overkill. Nice to know a little more backstory to Murasaki, and more of his character, too. At first I thought he was the usual calm and composed eye-glasses character, but it's nice to know he's quite impulsive as well.

I can't stop laughing at the ampalaya use pffft. Birthday getting disqualified for bringing his "pet", and Three getting disqualified for being scary. Animation with Nice and Murasaki's fight were kinda meh, but well, nice to see a non-color shitty thingy fight. Also, so information broker name is Mao, eh? Fun character, yes, yes...

Nice buying a souvenir for Art though... *sniffs*

Nice VS Ratio, Birthday, Honey, and Three?

RIP NICE. Hahahaha jk.

Truth be told, I want that Ideal and somehow I think it'll definitely help me escape reality. I hate my life. Haha. I'm pathetic. I might dream about marrying Hiroshi Kamiya. Holy shit. Hahahahaha! Help.

Three was mistaken as a dog, and Birthday's pet. Jesus. Hahaha. That had me dying.

I loved the Battle Royale reference during the Triathlon. Hahahhaa.

Already predicted that Nice is gonna win, like c'mon. Hahaha. Pfffft!

So, Art is already dead like for real? Noooooo! This is bullshit. I don't accept this. Bring him back! Nooooooo!

Loved this episode; it was so funny throughout, then Art's death hits me. Fuuuuuck!

P.S. So everyone hated this episode because everyone' still mourning over Art's death? Alright, alright, alright.
P.P.S. I love Art so much and this episode's so hilarious, what's up with the hate? Unbelievable.

that's right a beach and a hot spring ep in a just 12 ep series its too much and a total ruined the mood I was expecting that cause of the last ep preview for that but still hoped it would at least have a lil serious stuff
1/5

was such a shitty episode.
