| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lots of talking and explanation this episode. Pretty good. I'm so excited for the next episode!!! It's coming!!! |
| Wow the ending stuff was really nice with the music! And things got real interesting real fast! I'm liking the characters more and more! Oh and for the animation? Everything's solid and there was no derp. Seriously this is the plot it was missing! Noiz sure looked awesome without the hat! But he looks good with it on too. Clear is as adorable as always, glad grams is somewhat relevant to what's happening and I liked her explaining things and we finally know that he really used to play rhyme and just forgot, which accident though? Anyhow, Aoba's powers are frightening and I hope Mizuki becomes better later.. If he doesn't control it it could be too dangerous, and who's the person with the morphine hat that showed up after the new game sent to Aoba? He's a quiet one. So many interesting things! I wonder what the others will do now, oh and seems like Mink revealed Aoba's ability but he did he know in the first place? And what will Koujaku do? Really enjoyed this episode, this week's anime is awesome |
 |
| ^Answering your question about the one in the hat is a spoiler, as he is one of the most relevant characters in this anime. Despite never speaking. ------------- *fangirls* those feels of when Clear was in his house and standing in front of "thing under cloth" ;w; It was cool, seeing Koujaku and Mink talk to each other. I wonder what Mink told him. e_e I'm glad they did this episode, they finally answered some questions. Based on the preview I think.. |
 |
| After 6 episodes I finally know what I'm watching...... The power of exposition. |
| Powered by yuri. Needless to say, I finish all anime I start, no matter my initial opinion, no matter how bad it gets, I WILL FINISH IT! http://www.anime-planet.com/users/zunderdog24  |
| Yeah,i guess after this episode people who never did play the vn will finally understand what the heck is going on...kinda:3 I like that Koujaku got the invitation as well (while the others didn't)...because my OTP is what it is:D But i guess they all will make it into Platinum Jail,somehow... I am glad they are doing well with the anime after the rocky start. |
ZoroZoldyck said: who's the person with the morphine hat that showed up after the new game sent to Aoba? He's a quiet one. He's been appearing for quite some time now. You can see him together with Toue every time Toue's labs/office is being shown. Other details about him though would be considered a spoiler, but he's a really important character. |
| Interesting episode. I like how they're filling the gaps (or at least trying to) that they didn't really bother explaining in the VN. The drawing style was rather good for this show's standards so not gonna complain about that at least. And seeing a sneak peek of Clear's room was nice! Now let's see how the next week's episode will turn out :D -Luhui said: Would be cool if they did that, but if they do then I hope they show parts from other routes too.. Or else it'd be unfair for the rest of the 'boyfriends'. |
| Oh, look, a plot! About time this started taking a direction. Also about time we got a few explanations. Very good episode. |
~my list
| YES!! They did it, awesomely! This episode was perfectly adapted, just perfectly :D Like they normally say in my country: "They locked the common route with a golden key" lol 5/5 |
 |
| Grandma basically explains everything that's going on. I had a feeling Toue was the culprit behind the scene. Mink-san already knows about Aoba's power? I wonder how Koujaku feels about him now.. Police are after the Aoba now. Looks like he'll have accompanies to the Platinum Jail. |
 |
| Shocking reveal : 0 So everyone will get their own episode route with Aoba then? Koujaku's route next week. |
| Welp, at this point, even though I've played the VN, I no longer know what's going on. They left some details out of Tae's explanation, added some new things, and that twists the story just enough that I'm left actually dangling from the cliff hanger like people who've never played the VN probably are. Ugh. This is why I don't watch airing anime like I have been lately. *dying* On another note, the animation was so pretty this week and I don't see any reason for anyone to complain, yay~! The sound track at the end of this episode, before the end theme, was so freaking pretty and fit the scene well. I wound up watching Aoba's escape from Akushima several times just to hear that track again, because I didn't want it to end. Defs getting the OST when it comes out. |
| Great episode, filled in some gaps. So many Aoba butt shots >:3 Clear's cute as usual <3 5/5 |
 |
| I was wondering how they'd do the transition to Platinum Jail, but I think I like where this is going. But seriously I'm going to be mad if they don't keep Also, I really liked that last OST, it made everything quite epic... |
 |
| "Dramatical Murder" and no murders yet. Well, he played rhyme, finally, I was waiting for it. The baa-san was going to say why he has that power... I guess he is an almost successful test subject, that's probably why it is called "scrap". (It's the most logical way I can think of) roselovespuppies said: I didn't find it that so epic but I found it pretty good.Also, I really liked that last OST, it made everything quite epic... Nice episode. |
| I was surprised when Koujaku was trying to pick a fight with Mink. Damn, he gets so aggressive when it comes to Aoba HAHA. Yeah I liked the end too, seeing all the different characters like that wasn't in the VN. |

| Ahh the explanation episode. I think they did very well with this one! I'm interested to see how all of the boyfriends meet up since they didn't all set out together like in the visual novel. Speaking of which, I'm glad that the people who didn't read the visual novel seem to be appreciating this episode finally giving a direction to the series (as some seemed to think there wasn't a plot--understandable, as that's kind of what I was wondering when I was reading the visual novel.) Also, even if it was different than the visual novel, I really liked the sequence at the end as everyone set out for Platinum Jail. It was so exciting and dramatic. Finally, I agree with the others and just love how the anime provides different perspectives and shows things that weren't really possible to do in the visual novel, like events occurring away from Aoba such as Noiz at his computer and Koujaku talking to Mink. Excited for next week! |
| I thought this episode was epic. It was very well made and explained the plot very well. Also did anyone else hear bed springs in the preview for next week's episode? lol |

You mean dramatiCAL? Okay in all seriousness I enjoyed that too, haven't been crazy about the OST so far but the track they played during that scene was good This was my favorite episode so far, they actually executed some things better than the VN did, in my opinion. I think pretty much all of the additions were positive ones. Animation was solid too. In other news, I still have no idea where Koujaku's Coil is What are you tapping on man |

| BISH IM IN NARNIA <3 |
| i didn't know what i was watching until this episode but things make sense now. also that ost at the end O_O |
[ has not played the game yet ] I'm not sure. I'm thinking of dropping this anime, because so far it's kind of failed to meet my expectations and all the hype that's been centered around it. However, this episode did brighten my views somewhat, because I finally was able to understand many things, due to all the explanations. The anime is moving at a slow pace, but I think trying to make things clearer is much better. This episode is the first one in which I had even the slightest sense of how things fit together, thought there are still many loose ends to be tied up. I guess Koujaku and Noiz will continue to have some sort of rivalry; they both seem like the type that wouldn't get along with the other. Has it been determined whether or not the bl will be omitted? With the Noiz-Aoba kiss, I was thinking it might be kept, but then again, this is way less yaoi than Love Stage!! or even Free!. And I suppose it would be difficult to manage all the routes for everyone, since there are so many possible endings. If the anime decides to go on a certain route, I think they'll leave many people disappointed. My hypothesis is that they might have killed Tae-san if she went back to the research lab in order to prevent information leaks. Who knows? With Morphine's power over the island, they might even have spies or trackers listening in on Aoba's house, and perhaps Aoba's grandmother could be killed in the future. It's a pessimistic outlook, but still pretty realistic in my mind- I don't know what actually ends up happening in the game, though. So, the anime has a lot of explaining to do, but I'm glad we get to see some drama getting started in a way that makes sense. I mean, it's sometimes good to keep an element of mystery, but the DMMD anime just makes it a little bit too mysterious and it ends up being terribly confusing. |

Danpmss said: parfaited said: Excuse you? Also, Free is more like a Bi Shounen (get it?) It does not cross above the bromance line at all. Seconded. (lmao bi shounen) To be fair, I don't think this yaoi/bl thing in DMMd should even be discussed further nor be compared to, say, Love Stage!! at this point. That's completely unfair. Love Stage!! is mainly yaoi (in the anime's case, bl), while DMMd has its own plot to worry about before focusing on the bl. And since DMMd's plot is just getting cleared up, I don't think there'll be any time left for bl. Maybe some hints, but that's not the focus of this anime imo. swaggahsaurus said: And I suppose it would be difficult to manage all the routes for everyone, since there are so many possible endings. If the anime decides to go on a certain route, I think they'll leave many people disappointed. On this subject, it's kinda clear now (pun not intended) that they'll be going to follow the true route while mixing in some scenes from the others' routes. I doubt there'll be romance, They'll probably just show the back stories of each of the main four guys. Then end the anime with Aoba's own back story. I hope. |

Yeah, I would say that is pretty much this too^ |
|
| I would like Aoba to end up with someone at the end.. Idk who but kinda hoping it's clear or Noiz. I also wanna see what clear looks like under the mask! SIGH This being only 12 eps is disappointing because they won't fit everything.. |
|
| Good episode ... loads of information this time. So Grams used to do research but soon found out he was trying to CONTROL EVERYONE O_O Not to mention Aoba's powers too ... poor Mizuki :( Things are starting to heat up ... seems like they're all gonna go to Platinum Jail soon. Oh, and I also liked the music at the end when Aoba was leaving. Very nice :D |
| i really loved this episode, and i cannot stress enough how satisfied i am with the plot's adaption so far! one thing i really didn't expect was koujaku confronting mink but i really liked seeing koujaku stick up for aoba. it's funny how he was practically jumping over the table to yell at mink when they were at aoba's house. i also really like the very subtle hints at the characters' pasts that they dropped throughout the episode all in all, i'm incredibly excited for the next episode!! |
| I'm glad the series is explaining things since I still wasn't stringing things together. xD; But still plenty of mysteries around to keep me guessing about who's doing what and why. |
 |
| Mizukiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!! *cries* He better wake up... Baka Aoba! He asked you to help him, not break his conscience. Also... Is it sad that this episode was the best one yet and they pretty much just talked the whole time? o.o Thank the lord they finally decided to explain stuff because it was a bit confusing. |
LuxtressAug 12, 2014 6:04 PM
| Can't wait to see what happens next. The end of common route! Hope it isn't disappointing orz |
 |
| nice>; but wat abbout his another "personality"? |
| Hmmm what's this? They're going for Koujaku's route? I'd be damn disappointed. |
ichigojuri said: I was kind of hoping they would push Noiz x Aoba but Koujaku is nice since he has a bit more connection with Aoba's past. I guess we'll just see what happens. Though I am personally still rooting for Noiz x Aoba XD YES rooting for Noiz x Aoba too :3 |
Iktoro99 said: Oooh, things are getting interesting! I think this might be my favourite episode so far. I wonder who Aoba's going to end up with... I am rooting for Clear, I don't care about the other ones. My guess is going to be Ren. That was my guess from the very beginning, but now it could be anyone. |
| Haha when I was watching the first episode I was like "...seriously" and I fell asleep at the very end out of boredom (and likely a lack of sleep), but now this is actually getting pretty interesting! That whole Scrap thing is...odd. And wow, Baachan is a great grandmother. She's like, so cool. Kinda reminds me of Ruuko's grandma in SIW. |

| I don't think Aoba will end up with anyone, due to the absence of the shounen-ai tag. SalmonQueen said: Yeah I am still waiting for that explanation. I wonder if it's just a personification of his power, grandma said "power is rebelling because of the long period of suppression".nice>; but wat abbout his another "personality"? |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| So that dude wants to mind control people and his grandma worked on the experiments back in the day and Aoba has some ability called scrap and can go in to people's minds and control them and see their thoughts. Wow. Did not see that coming. Makes sense that's how he lost his memories though. All going to jail, well okay lol. |
