| I thought that the relationship of them was Chitaru x Hitsugi before I watched this episode. But this episode showed Hitsugi x Chitaru was correct. I got shocked although the self-person reference of Hitsugi was a male form from the beginning. >< Then, the answer of the riddle was very simple, but it confused me. Moreover, I was disappointed a little because I liked Haruki. |
| Good episodes. The action was very good in this episode |
| Is there ever going to be any actual yuri in this yuri anime, or...? This whole "assassin of the week" formula's disappointing. It doesn't work for a plot like this, at least not in the way they're approaching it. I really don't care about these girls because I'm not being given the time to, and despite the apparent high risks and danger in these elaborately not-that-amazing fight scenes, no one's dying. They're not even being seriously injured. Just a flower and "woops, looks like she got expelled!" isn't exciting, and neither are these fucking invulnerable main characters. Tokaku is just OP, and when it's paired with how she's sorta personalityless and stoic, it's boring. Monster of the week scenarios can work amazingly, but it's not working very well here. |
| This episode really pissed me off:/ my Haruki tho! Well waiting for an episode where Banba gonna nail Tokaku/Haru with her big ass hammer! come on come on..where's the Yuri already? |
| Good villain in this ep, much more backstory to it than the previous ones. Hopefully the anime keeps going in this direction, as we uncover more of azuma's past. Finally glad the OST for the fight scene was used to a lengthier extent, made it a enjoyable experience. |
 |
| No, they just kicked Kyouko Haruki out of the show. AW I really liked her too... To release her burden of her family in an attempt to make her family happy Oooo that hits home.. I enjoyed this episode, but the action scenes seemed kinda meh to me. I hope she didn't die and went home.... but I do feel like she did die. Loving all end songs so far. Keep them coming please! |
| not a fan of her attempted self sacrifice. if her plan fails and she dies while haru lives: no help for her family and haruki is gone too so her family would have ended up in a worse spot. haruki was a good character. hope she survived and got back to her family, sadly i feel that by the end of the series it will be revealed that everyone who failed their attempt was killed, and it was probably nio who did it. atleast the end of the episode with otoya seemed to be hinting at it |

| Okay...I'll try to stay as balanced as possible during this, but that might be hard given a certain scene near the end of this episode... We got a lot of backstory in this episode for quite a few characters, The fight scene between Haruki and Tokaku was really well done, I especially liked the lighting changes that (correct me if I'm wrong) I think symbolised the colours of the two clans to good effect. And, lastly, the yuri. |

| I'm glad that Haruki didn't die, so she didn't have to leave her family behind. Nothing special about the fighting, a bit intense but that was pretty much it... I wouldn't complain if we were to see more fighting scenes but of course backstory and such are important too :3 |
| so an assassin anime where none of the girls get killed except for maybe the 1st girl who attacked the arbitrator. Atleast we dont know yet. |
 |
| no, its like this, there wont be any uncensored version |

FadingLight77 said: Sovietcong said: ThirdedSimmianPrime said: Best girl is now gone. Seconded. WHAT!? WHEN THE HELL DID NIO GO!? In all honesty, though, I liked Haruki. Maybe it's because of those onee-chan vibes she gave off. Not to mention, she and Kaminaga have had the best EDs so far. |
(Also known on other places as Hiss13) All hail the adorable chess master! |
| Still wanna know if the assassins are killed or just let go. And I like the assassin in this episode. And talk about Azuma falcon kick! |
 |
| I'm going to miss Haruki. She's the one i"m interested most so far. So if Haruki die,the money still go to her family but since she fail but still alive,does her money still go to her family? |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| The pace of this show is quite fast for me to enjoy... |
| Haruki was my fave ;w; |
 |
| meh, the protagonist is a bit to overpowered for my taste. Nio best girl though |
 |
| well that escalated quickly lol how to turn a somehow normal girl into a killer with a phonecall the tokaku's past and ending parts saved the episode... this is going to be the same each week.. |
 |
| Gone was my favorite character in this series ;___; |
| There goes one best girl :( I hope Isuke doesn't leave any time soon. Suzu is cool too. jiraiya_sensei said: Since when does everyone need training to be an assassin? The episode seemed to imply that Haruki trained herself simply to make money for her poor family. Which may also be why she failed so miserably in the end.How did a girl with a seemingly wholesome family (albeit most likely orphaned) become an assassin in the first place anyway? when exactly did she receive the training to become one? |
 |
| Can someone refresh me on what happens to an assassin he she fails to kill Haru? I feel like they mentioned before that there's a consequence for failing the task, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it is or when it was mentioned. |
| Aww, why Haruki's so fast? But, I love that she's straight forward in this episode. The last part is so funeeh. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| And Haru just HAS to get caught again. I wish this was more like Bokurano,where we get decent backstory of every character. It felt like the assassin this time was a good character on the manga,but for the anime you dont really feel it and therefore you cant love the character like Bokurano. |
 |
| How far is the manga in Japan anyway? :( |

CreationBreaker said: FadingLight77 said: Sovietcong said: ThirdedSimmianPrime said: Best girl is now gone. Seconded. Fourthed (issat even correct?) I like Haruki a lot, she had this awesome likeable feeling around her. But I start to be slightly annoyed by Haru cause of all the forgiveness she's going on about. I wouldn't take it so easy if a gal that was getting friendly with me would be trying to murder me in cold blood.... Anyway, can't wait for Ep6. |
 |
| I'm loving this series more and more! It's such a pity, though, that Haruki is gone. :/ I love her! She's my favorite! But her family needs her more than I do. ;D |
| No fangirling, no life. |
| Every AnR episode ever: Classmate tries to get on Haru's good side Naive Haru becomes friends with them Naive Haru falls into their trap Naive Haru gets tortured Tokaku saves the day *sigh* When will this anime ever shy away from the generic AnR formula? All these episodes feel the same only with different assassins and slightly altered tactics. That part where Haruki whispered in Nio's ear and was inaudible to the viewers gave the episode a bit more uncertainty and suspense but as always, it ends with Tokaku and Haru completely and absolutely fine! 3/5 |
| Oh comon i wanna see more messed up merciless assassins not soft-on-the-inside ones.3/5 |
| Everybody has the right to have his own opinion on something.And you do have the right to disagree with them.But that doesnt give you the right to impose your opinion on others, even though you do have the right to think you are fucking awesome. |
| Its a shame that one of my favorites out of the bunch had to leave so quickly... Still I'm very glad that she didn't end up dying :') |
  |
| I can't be the only one getting bored of this formula. I want some kind of twist. Like haru all of a sudden kills or attempts to kill Azuma. Or haru actually getting killed. |
| Good episode, I'm sorry to see Tokaku go...she was one of my favorites. |
My Candies:     |
| Haru being friendly to her would-be killers is still hard to swallow. Will every assassination attempt end with the assassin still alive? Though I probably wouldn't mind either way. |
 |
| I was a little afraid at the beginning that this was going to be a typical school festival episode, but Haruki changed .the mood wonderfully when she stated that it's all a lie :D I was hoping that since Haruki was being focused on this week she'd reveal information. On Haru since Nio already gave her some background information about Haru butchering her family Was anyone else hoping that Haruki would still be in the next EP. Since this was only the 1st 24 hours of her assassination attempt? I guess she couldn't be since she got pretty injured (probably should have died) at the end. The music in this series is so great! I'm glad to see another good ending song. Would anyone happen to know when the soundtrack and full versions will come out? I'm not really sure how it works since they have a new ending every week. |

| Meh..this is getting boring. The same formula every week. Honestly I thought Azuma would be a nice MC but now shes just so dam boring but I really hope this picks up and something interesting actually happens. Nio still best girl! |
| Nobody died yet and it's getting repetitive, I'm disappointed. Q_Q |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Formulaic, not as violent as it could have been. |
 |
| Dammit. So this show is going to be "Assassin of the Week" :/ Still okay thought. The action scenes are great. |
