THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The episode felt kinda slow imo, similar to the manga in a way I guess for the first half. Tokaku was being a bit cold to Haru but I don't blame her in their situation.

Otoya was a bit of a strange character with her behavior. And those scissors fascination damn:

There's only like 20 chapters out and they just finished like 5 within two episodes. Of course they're going to change a few things so they can fill up 20 minutes.
The one thing that I'd love to see is a lesbian yandere.

Also the near the ending with Nio and Otoya talking, Otoya looked scared as hell after she cut her clothes. What's Nio hiding?

Haru is so naive. Why say "sorry" to the person who wanted to kill her? That kind of stuff bothers me. At least she was able to escape on her own. Takechi time is over. Intense episode.

I haven't read the manga yet so can't make any conclusion if the anime is better or not.
It just feel like an average episode for me.
What did Haru did to her to make her fall asleep?

20 chapters manga translated yeah but there probably more out there.

Did you see the flowers Otoya put on Haru's face and what she said about being almost anesthesic?? Well, Haru made her eat a bunch of them... so... that's why.

Great episode. A lot of difference with the manga, but it's more interesting that way...

She made her inhale the scent of a flower named Gelsemium, which according to Haru is a new species of anesthesia that made her fall unconscious.

It was very nice that a Bullfinch ("Uso") was linked to lies ("Uso") of Otoya Takechi, that scissors girl. The third episode was wonderful as usual. And I think ED was better than the previous two. Farewell Otoya!

By the way, something like sadistic desire always arises in my heart when I watch this anime. Am I the only one like that?

Otoya declares her intent to kill poor Haru by cutting up a magazine with awesome scissor skills lol.
Hanabusa really needs have her own office desk and chair to feel comfortable.
Otoya was acting all nice and friendly with Haru just to go nuts afterwards.

O.o Yuno came into my mind while watching this episode.
Just what caused Takechi's sudden change of reaction! Nio is the most interesting since she is related to the school.
11 assassins and one protector, I wonder what is the full extent of Haru's nature.

This anime is really shaping up. Was a bit slow but it escalated nicely. I like that balance. Start off slow to build up to the climax of each episode.

Also I'm glad Haru is not a completely defenseless and weak character. She can actually help.

Also I noticed some of you were a bit "mad" I guess when Haru apologized to her "would be killer." I think it's good that she did that. It maintains her "innocent but guilty" persona. If she turned into a killer or said something along the lines of "you deserved it bitch" then she's just like the rest of em. I believe we wouldn't like her as a character after that. As she's supposed to be the most innocent one in all this. Which is why Tokaku is slowly "falling for her." Haru reminds her of her humanity. So if Haru changed drastically like all the other girls, then the dynamic between Tokaku and Haru would fall apart.

But I really liked the fight scene in this episode. Just wish Tokaku could have shown off her skills a bit more. I hope she get's a few really nice fight scenes where she obliterates her opponent. Otherwise she might as well let Haru knock them out, etc.

EDIT: What on earth did Takechi see when she sliced Nio? Whatever it was it scared the hell out of her. Now I really want to know what she saw!

Oh, Takechi only feels sexual pleasure by killing others? O.o
I guess that's one reason for her atrocious wish.

Scissors girl is out. Who's next?!


Some people are like that. That's actually one of the many reasons serial killers exist. They can only get sexual gratification during the act of killing someone. A lot of the sadomasochistic fetishes are based around dark shit like that.

Should have expected the fight scenes to be short. I prefer to see more of them using their own specialty weapons. Dual saws? come on.. and there goes one useless girl

I'm more interested in what Nio is.

Not as good episode as first two but still enjoyable. Scissors in Haru's scar looked really painful and the way those scissors landed was very... ehm convenient. Not sure if Otoya left or Nio killed her.

But I have to say soundtrack is awesome and I cant wait to hear other girls ED songs, hopefully all the songs will also have a full version.

Well that was lame. If Takechi kills Haru straight off the bat she's free to kill whoever she wants whenever she wants forever. What an extreme lack of foresight.

1. Takechi had so much time to kill haru.

2. Those scissors that freed haru was pretty miraculous

3. That action stuff is boring. The yuri is whats keeping me in

Takechi was so crazy.

Tokaku vs Takechi was great.

New ED song is pretty cool. I like it.
Is the ED sung by the seiyuu of Takechi Otoya? First ones were by Tokaku and Haru as well...
Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!”

Pretty good episode. Otoya was crazy in many ways. Sucks to only get off by killing people. Couldn't be me. I did like her wish though. Am I the only one surprise that Haru put the sleep lock on Otoya? Also wtf is up with Nio? What was underneath her shirt?

And so the first assassin falls. Takechi was pretty interesting, but I find it surprising they got rid of the sadist first, those kinds of characters typically stick around in a series like this!

Haru and Nio are definitely both hiding something...Maybe Haru did kill her family based off of the moves she pulled in this episode!

I'm enjoying this series, and I'm anxious for the next one! As each character gets eliminated, we get closer to have a small group of main characters. I wonder who's next?

I wish that fight was a bit longer, convienient as hell that Haru just happened to still have some of them flowers on her to knock out crazy scissors chick. If the series keeps up like this I'll be satisfied, I mean I don't know about everyone else, but I didn't come into this show expecting Shakespeare from the plot.

I have a hard time accepting the premise.

So wait, they have a class full of assassins,trying to kill one girl (for a price) but it's not clear why they have to kill her and not anyone else.

I mean okay, I can accept that, but why is the victim so fucking retarded? I mean isn't obvious everyone wants to kill her?

Also the traps were fucking obvious. And why didn't the one girl not kill her right away. All she wanted was that licence. It would have been so easy to get.

Man i would be a better assassin than those bitches.

I agree with the first two points, but you're totally wrong about the action. That fight scene was amazing!


And so was the ED, btw.

I agree with this one. In manga, she doesn't take risks and attacks Haru right away. However, in manga, the entire situation is resolved a bit too quickly, I sorta like how they prolonged it here, even if it means that some characters have to act a bit unreasonable.

Why did Takechi decide to go for the kill right away? Wasn't she hiding from the police or something?

She would get the immunity after the kill but why don't wait a little longer in a certain safe place and attack later rather than risking? Is it because she's crazy or overly confident? I would wait in her place.

Otherwise a likable episode for me. I like Nio and am curious to know what happened in the end with Takechi. The main duo is ok but nothing special for now. And the dice guy is awesome.

My guess is because she gets really wet (waterfall levels here) from killing people so she wanted that sexual sensation to last as long as possible by slowly killing her.

There's a flower on Takechi's desk so that probably means Nio took her out after she saw whatever it was on Nio's body. Who'd put flowers on someone's desk if she simply transferred out?

I facepalm'd so hard when Haru didn't tell Tokaku about the advance notice even after Tokaku explained the rules to her. I really hope this is the last time we see her acting all naive.
