it really annoys me how villains like to take there time killing their victims slowly, just ice the bitch fast and get your prize
but then again, crazy people tend to think irrationally


LMAO that's what I was saying. Tf ? Her virgin ass needs to get laid.
Haru is beyond dumb , so dumb its mind blowing she knows people are going to kill her....and she wants to be friends (guys this bitch right here deserves some applause).
She not even worth protecting.

Anyways just scanned over the manga to see where the anime was at and the anime just ended at chapter 13 ?? Out of 20 chapters so umm what now?

Probably because she was talking to Takechi and working out some logistics with the school or something.

Episode reminded me of Crime Edge in more ways than one, which is not a good thing. Fight scene was lame.

What I really want to know is what Otoya saw. Is Nio a guy (doubt it since that wouldn't scare a serial killer) or does she have scars that look like Haru's because with the way she acted I think it's something important.

I thought Haru was pretty stupid in the beginning of the episode but she was really cool when she escaped. I got such a huge Touko Fukawa vibe from Otoya too.

Sorry can't help it. I looked at your name and that was the first thing that came to mind. I would have been surprised too XD!

Kinda boring to me. Takechi had plenty of time to kill Haru, but we know she will not die so easily, at least until episode 13, maybe.

Are we seriously going to have the whole anime with every assassin taking their sweet time to kill Haru? first there was that girl from the 2nd episode I think, who could kill Haru easily yet didn't, and now this masochistic bitch?

I mean seriously girl.. they basically promised her that they will clean up her mess FOREVER. Couldn't she just kill Haru quickly, get her reward, and then seek pleasure by killing how ever many people she wants to satisfy her?

Because the show would be over. And she was said to enjoy killing her prey slowly. Even killers have standards, you know?

Otoya is a psycho in here, pretty scary in those images. The fight scenes was pretty short tbh, I expect more from it, but at least Otoya didn't make it in time.

I thought Haru was sort of a weak character and now she somewhat manage to tackle down Otoya, why is that?

Tokaku felt weak in this episode though despite she is a skillful assassin. Haru should have listen to her in the first place.

It was good episode, but its better than the previous one.

Glad to see that Haru isn't as annoying as I was fearing. She actually understands the situation she's in, and while she's trying to be friends with the others she still keeps her guard on for the most part. She also helped Tokaku taking down Tokechi so she's not useless either.

Well for now what interests me most is Nio. Who the hell is this girl?

Takechi you psychopath, she wasted her chance to early :P

Haru is pretty strong herself.

What the hell could Takechi have seen that would freak her out like that 0_0

Looks like we will get an ED for each girl :D This one was pretty damn good.

This episode was slow compared to others. The girls are assassins , they are not normal murderers, and they are beyond fix in they mind. Tokaku is inexperienced assassin and Haru i think is pro because of scars and no fear of death. Good that killing attempt was slow , because it shows more detailed personality of characters. This shows me how deep hurt they are and what they crazy logic is and pleasure also :) Girls have tact and have to act normal in school. I want mad ending and more gore <3

if you try to make an anime with a serious setup like this at least try to do it like "Death Note",Haru knows all of them are trying to kill her,they are killers,they are assassins and still tries to befriend them :I lol.....and that serial killer girl :I i doubt she really is a serial killer,if she is a real serial killer she would think more logical(this knowledge comes from 8 seasons of dexter) than that and either she would be sure to kill other blue protector girl first or would kill Haru sooner...i didnt knew this was a shounen anime without fights...

so i guess nio will take care of all the assaassins that failed their attempt.



really hope that not every episode follows the same sequence of events. the assassination attempt should come as a surprise for the viewer and should have you guessing when it is gonna happen and not everyhing so predictable and planned out like it was in this episode.

but it is alright so far.


i like how every episode has a fitting ed theme for each character

Same here. I do hope there's more to Haru than what meets the eye. That would make her more interesting.

Also, Haru in underwear is becoming a recurring thing.

I am so disappointed by this episode.
Okay, the formula will be one assassin per episode, they even make an ending for each one.

But this episode was so inconsistent and forced..
But, c'mon, Haru, why would you want to become friend to a class that you know, and everybody in that class knows that you do, wants to kill you?

Tokaku was so dumb!
A little bit of vitality and activity would not hurt you, you know..

The fight scene was terrible.
I don't know what to say.

I really hope the rest of the show doesn't follow this pattern, it pains me when battle royale/killing game anime have insanely cool premises, but settle for mediocre delivery. At this point there's really no room for deception with Haru, this episode just screamed forced naivety. Would like to see the assassins start to war with and plot against each other over advance notices to Haru and such.

Anime of the season for me. Follows the manga very nicely. I'm a bit disappointed to the titles of the episodes though, cause they do give hints to what will happen next.

Don't see any reason why people dislike this anime or episode. Takechi took her time killing Haru because... I believe it is explained in the episode. Haru's "naivety" is also explained in the anime. If you can't understand the anime or its characters, don't watch it.

I think Nio may be a relative of Haru's.

I wish there was more to this show, other than "one girl attempts to kill Haru" per episode. Like how Danganronpa had different murderers AND victims and also we had to guess who it was, even though Dangan's action comes nowhere close to this show.

Tokaku seemed so dull fighting like a total amateur compared to the fact that she is an assassin.
I hope the creators will not continue on this pace the rest of the episodes.

It's very different from the manga, as Takechi kills for sexual pleasure in the anime, but not in the manga (or one of the teams did their work wrong...)

Azuma, you're really dumb... Sorry, but believing what a random assassin that pop in your room tell you, you are really guillible. I would have felt ashamed :/

So Takechi was a real psycho. I think I saw Yuno a few time xD

I wonder what she saw. Maybe Nio is some kind of cyborg. Maybe she's not even human. She seem to be designated as the secretary, but she could be just a device observater.

I like where this series is headed, having the assassinations break out and stuff. Introduction time is finally over :)
MC's "boss" is a weird dude. Sending strange riddles to MC all the time. I find it funny that MC tries to shrug it off, but ends up wanting to solve them. Mayhap the riddles belong to a bigger picture?

What is Haru thinking?? Befriending people she knows will try to assassinate her at any given time. There might be some kind of reason behind this but.. wow =P Frustrating

I hope we get to see some action-filled events with strategy, countermeasures, blood and trauma. Maybe have some of the assassinators form secret teams or something exciting like that?

I have to admit... that "kick Takechi 5 meters away from you while laying strapped up on the floor, and then having the scirrors majestically land on the rope and cut its way through" was a little too forced for my taste.
I realize it's an anime and that it's an unrealistic concept to begin with, it doesn't care about physics or luck, but really?

Other than that, great episode. 3.8/5 for me. No, I can't go higher/lower =P

You mean like when Tokaku blindly believed Takechi when she told that Shiena triggered the card and not her? For Tokaku to keep Takechi in a tight spot for the whole episode, and then being tricked like that is kind of funny if you ask me =P
