Post-Josh said: This show continues to be both entertaining and cheesy as hell. xchee said: Not really. It seemed like they wanted the police to solve the riddle.Shibazaki owned Sphinx thoroughly. Now I expect the latter to counterattack. They did but even they were surprised Shibazaki did it. Provoked them in the process too. |

| Pretty solid episode Loved the character development for the L of the series...Things are starting to shape up nicely now that Sphinx are impressed 5/5 |
| Still giving us bits and piecess with each episode. The slow pace is good enough for now, and Lisa is developing nicely with these short glimpses in to her life. It leaves me wanting to know more. Same with Nine. I hope it picks up soon though, as I'm hoping for more thrill from the next episode. This episode wasn't as good as the first 2, but it did enough to leave me interested in the next one. |
 I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND. |
| Really liked this episode. Favourite parts were definitely the small parts we saw of Lisa and also the flashback into the past at that institute. I am dying to see more of Lisa I really empathize with her character a lot. Only saw a bit of her in this episode but every time I felt like I could totally connect to how she was feeling. |

| [quote=T3hSource] Keten said: The only character drama atm is Lisa, whom I question her relevance to the plot atm. Good point. Liking the focus on her, but her only tether to the main plot are her reoccurring flashbacks of the second episode, which sorta distanced her even more cuz Twelve dishoned her. All we can do is hope that this follows up smoothly. |

| I love how they show bits and parts of the characters. Its easy to understand the situation from them, yet I still crave for more. The ost comes along nicely on those parts too. I suspect Lisa will get a role soon. Good episode. Got lost in the middle of the riddle. The way Shibazaki solved it was like one of those instantaneous moments in Detective Conan lol |

insan3Spectre said: Good episode, nice background on Shibazaki and a glimpse at Nine's past as well. I too wonder what role Lisa will play in this, her being Shibazaki's daughter could indeed be possible. This actually makes some what sense. The Police Director said Shibazaki was forced to go to the first division 15 years ago and the problems with his family happened then. Lisa should be about 15 or 16 in this anime? So this can be possible. |
| Great development episode for all our characters...Shibazaki gives off the classic badass detective vibe, except with perhaps more reasons behind his actions. Our two "heroes" get that nice flashback, and Lisa is seeming to be overtaken by her issues...great episode. And as usual, Kanno kills it. (Song playing when they found the bomb FTW.) |

BRK25 said: That'd mean psycho mom been crazy and all over Lisa since birth. Such trauma be usual if it had been a few years ago or months even. From birth or a year later shows immense trust issue and the inability to work on a human efficient life. Glad Lisa ran, things weren't safe. Well, if she runs to Nine and Twelve things won't be much safer. Should make for good TV, though. |

| Main characters are pretty bland. But that OST is glorious |
 |
| Finally Shibazaki is the star of the episode. I hope it'll be this way until the end of the series. Still, riddles are pretty lame and there are few illogical things like how teenage boy worked at nuclear fuel reprocessing facility (I'm sorry, fabricated identity is not nearly enough of explanation). Also, get rid of Lisa please. |
| None of the characters in this show are really doing it for me. Most of them are built brick by brick from a set archetype and don't go any further than that. The story they're hinting isn't any better either. Not bad. Just strangely average. Lisa's mom needs more screen time though. Her scenes have no discernible uniqueness to them, that one could change what she's saying to "I told you not to eat the last oreo, skank" and it'd still feel the same. Let the parodies rejoice. |
| They finally cracked their first riddle yay Team Police >_> I really felt the stress Lisa is going through, she might snap at any minute |

| Liking this series so far <3 |
 |
| Shibazaki is the boss. Yoko Kanno's music top-notch as always. |
| It was okay. I hope they don't keep doing these riddles. |
 |
| I like the title of this - Search & Destroy. Lisa's mom is a little .... odd. So they had a terrible childhood experience. No wonder they're doing things. Shibasaki is kinda awesome. |
| A good episode, the story of the anime is perfect so far, as well as the direction, animation and soundtrack, I have nothing to complain about, despite the slightly slower pace, do not lose all proposed by the script climate, a work of research pure. |
Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the  |
| Great episode~!! I feel bad for poor Lisa.. I wonder what her role here is- was she a part of that experiment/thing with the other kids ?? or is she related to Shibazaki ?? I'm glad she left her house tho |
| From reading the plot it reminds me of the manga Akumetsu where they use terrorism to set Japan on a path of change. |
| One thing that made little sense to me... Shibazaki's "I'll never forgive you" exclamation. This is a line I hear all the time in anime, especially from some young girl upset at some boy and wanting to make sure she guilts him into doing what she wants or else she'll "never forgive him." I always just took it as a goofy line by an immature brat, but Shibazaki is an old detective throwing it about. "I'll never forgive you;" like, who the hell cares if he forgives them for anything they do? Certainly not Sphinx. Must be some Japanese cultural thing or somethin g. |

| Man, Shibazaki, I like your detective attitude. Please keep that up. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Lovely, from the first 3 episodes I think this is better than death note if they keep it up. Lisa is probably Shibazaki's daughter. One of the police commented that "he had a family". Will this end up in her choosing which side? I think the final will be about them threatening with a atomic bomb or something similar. |
  |
| I think Lisa's mom has an emotional disorder or somewhat like that. Btw, why there's no preview? |
| I'm liking the direction this is going in with the detective on Sphinx's tail. Also, did Lisa just run away? |
| This show continues to astound me with each passing episode, this is truly shaping up to be a classic in the making, its atmosphere, flawless directing, unbelievable attention to detail in its writing and research, and downright engrossing storyline that has yet to have me drift in thought even remotely. god please let me see the next episode already. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| This whole game of cat & mouse between the criminals and the police is giving me a major Death Note vibe. The flashback gave us a bit more insight on the past of Nine and Twelve. I liked the backstory we get on Shibazaki, as well... he's becoming more and more of an interesting character. Not sure what's going to happen to Lisa, but what the hell is up with her mom? Of course Lisa's going to run away if she keeps treating her like that, shaking her and yelling at her for no reason, SHEESH! Anyway, this was a bit of a slow episode, but still really good. |

| I wonder whats the intention of the orphanage facility, they're really harsh on those kids... :( Still curious about what will Lisa do in the future, but so far the director and the writer done a good job on capturing the gloomy aura surrounding her everytime her scene occurs. BTW, SO FAR THIS IS THE BEST ANIME OF 2014!!!!!!!!!!!! xD |
| Although the riddle itself wasn't that interesting, the episode was still engrossing. Can't wait to see Sphinx's next move now that they made sure the police knows they possess the plutonium bomb. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Poor Lisa, she live such a shitty life... Between her crazy mom, the two terrorist she knows nothing about and that forced her into their games, the perpetual bullying... Damn, that riddle was complicated... That Shibasaki sure is clever. Well, there had to be the rival detective in the story at some point. Wonder what happened in that kindergarden. Remind me of Monster. |

| I'm really getting DN vibes from this. I mean, Shibasaki's role kind of reminds me of L, and the two MCs that were grown up in a "special orphanage" reminded me L and Near. Anyway, nice and interesting Riddle once again. Also, what was wrong with the mother, she went full yandere. Samauri55ZeRo said: I'm calling it now the inspector is lisa father... Also first look at young number Five... Yeah, I was thinking the same. |
 |
| "I already said, fat people don't like carbohydrates." Well, I have to agree with that fat guy cuz fat people don't really like that stuff, they LOVE IT :x Search & Destroy - Good title. THIS IS GETTING BETTER EACH EPISODE, AWESOME! |
priemo said: Zankyou no Terror, delivering consistent solid episodes! That Death Note vibe is nostalgic in a way... I know, I really like the Death Note feel. |
| Really enjoying this back and forth thing between Shibasaki and Nine/Twelve. And I am very curious to see what Lisa is going to do now and how she'll start getting more involved in all this. |
