| This wouldn't be an anime without the terrible Engurish, and the English that sounded at least somewhat native was so badly voice-acted it sounded like it was ripped from some language studies CD, finding decent native English voice actors in Japan must be like trying to find wild kangaroos in Scotland. Also it seems our terrorist protagonists aren't actually terrorists and never wanted to kill anyone to begin with, which pretty much throws out the whole 'Are they good or bad?' conflict, and honestly makes this show completely fucking boring. |

| 17:14 why didn't you cry and say 「Minnasan・・・」 lol 7/10 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Such a great interpretation of chess compared to NGNL's crap, this anime is simply a godsend |

| soooo intense omggggggggg |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Holy shit, five is such a retarded character. So sad that they introduced her. The anime was great and pretty "realistic" up to that point, but now they have to ruin it by introducing some fucking spastic character, thanks. |
| On the chessboard Five moved E4 but on the screen it said D4? If we go with E4 Nf6 then it seems like Nine would be playing the Alekhine Defense, But if we go with D4 Nf6, then it would be the Benoni Defense instead. But I think it is just a mistake in the animation because the name of Benoni Defense is derived from Hebrew Ben'Oni which means Son of Sorrow. The anime already did use Oedipus. So maybe the next episode have to do with something about the Benoni Defense? |
| Its 420 out there somewhere. |
| This anime is being pretty disappointing so far. Not that interesting characters, another cliched villain. The production value, at least, is being excellent. So far a 6/10 at best. Quite enjoyable though |
| Five was interesting. Nine is struggling because of Five's annoyance/intervention. Lisa now wants to be part of the group. I wonder what's the purpose of all Five's actions. Revenge perhaps? |
| pretty good episode, hopefully this will all play out in nine and twelve's favor. |
Mizeteo said: Chess game. Five taking control of their plans. I hope Lisa would help those two if they will get cornered by Five. ^ AGREED |
 |
| Loved this ep. Gonna be excited about the next. the best thing with this anime is that it'z impossibr to spoil, since there is no manga of it. that's what'z most epic after all the other things in this anime. have to agree that this is the best anime of this season and 2.nd best of this year, after NGNL of course. |

| Is it just me, or is this show deteriorating? |

| Five speaking English sounds like she has her mouth full. |

| I know there are a lot of people who say that this episode was "boring", but you have to admit... it's setting up for a pretty amazing episode next week! GAH! NEED MORE ARATA! (sorry, couldn't hold in the fan-girl in me). Anyways, Five couldn't have been a better antagonist. She is out to get Nine, and seems to be more obsessed about crushing him than actually helping out the FBI. I need more Shibazaki as well and I was super excited to see him and his buddies disobey orders from the higher-ups. The question now is Lisa... Where are all the Nine fan girls/boys?? ^^ If you would like you can check out my ZnT ep.6 video review/recap here http://youtu.be/G5SHxAfFMBc?list=UU6HUAjzE2TZwJf3W2eWE9qQ |
| Does anyone find it funny that the moment the Americans show up, that's when everything starts getting worse? |

Wake_Up said: I hate to say it, but I really, really agree as well. Really would have loved to see Shibazaki figure everything out in the end instead of bringing in Five.ZaldiuntheGerman said: Is it just me, or is this show deteriorating? It's not just you. Five is ruining the show for me. |

| Shibazaki is so insightful. I liked how he knew that the riddle wasn't by Nine and Twelve. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| I am continously getting eargasms from this series OST... The engrish was pretty bad though. |
| Five's crazy, wow. Still iffy with enjoying her character/place in the overall, though. Glad to see that Lisa's going to get some use it seems (hopefully lol). |
| Tutturu ~ |
| Lmao, Five sounded like she had someone's dick in her mouth during her english conversations. Nothing against actress, but episode would be better without english at all. |
| I really like this show. And the OP and ED are so amazingly fitting :D |
 |
| Hmm I'm a little disappointed. The quality has been dropping steadily in the past couple episodes. I don't like Five's character at all. It's that cliche evil genius that I've seen many times before. Kind of takes away some of the realism this show has been building up. It's like it's trying to look more intelligent than it really is. I've had it at a 10/10 for first 2 episodes, then 9/10 and now 8/10 which is very disappointing considering that it doesn't look like Five will go away soon so I don't know how it could pick up again in the remaining episodes. Unless they pull out something truly unexpected and mind blowing... Pun not intended. |
| what's the name of bgm in 9's dreams it sounds great |
skudoops said: That engrish was so bad omg lol. I like how his description photo looks like eren from AoT, kinda funny. Five is a really awful character though, the whole insane evil genius thing is a bit ridiculous for what this show has been going for so far. Additionalyl I didn't understand was what was the point in playing this "game". Why not just go and capture them? Also who the hell would allow the US government to blow up one of their airports? That is dumb on so many levels and not to mention would cause huge international uproar if the information leaked. I'm also surprised that no one even questioned the fact that the message for the bomb was delivered in an utterly non characteristic fashion i.e via text rather than a video with the two of them like it was before. At least lisa is finally being used for something, took a while but she's finally going to have some relevance in all of this. +1 |

Which is great, I loved it... until Please, Shibazaki, Nine, Twelve... Lisa, someone, fuck up Five and save this show. +1 |
| I don't really like Five's character either. "Cliché evil genius", as others have pointed out... it's pretty much cringeworthy. She's not all that interesting. I'm a lot more curious about Nine and Twelve (and have been since the start), and the other side characters are great too in their own ways. |

I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Erm, maybe I'm stupid, but wouldn't it be more rational for Nine and Twelve to ignore Five and let her blow up the airport? What would happen in this case? They could just remain silent and wait until that psycho Five compromises herself by her dangerous actions. Isn't them starting to play by Five's rules the end of the game for them already? Like they literally confessed it's them by coming to the airport? Why didn't they consider that police and Five already know it's them and this is all just a set-up to catch them?... Dunno, I'm confused... 0_0 The same exact shit happened in Death Note - I still cannot get why Light decided to take a huge risk and kill FBI officers when he was 100% safe sitting in his room and killing criminals? Something is off with logical reasoning here... |
| This anime should be called Zankyou no Riddle or Zankyou no Prank Because the anime has zero terrorists. All what I see is silly teenagers playing games and doing some pranks on the police. And now they are playing chess game in the airport with this new white haired girl. I wonder what is their goal and motives ? We still don't know why these silly teens are doing these pranks and riddles on the police. |
| Damn this show keeps getting better and better. Definitely the best one this season so far. I can't wait to see how the game between five and nine plays out. It should be awesome. Although they really need to keep five from saying anything in English again... God that was painful |
