Sousuke is an idiot. 'nuff said. Quite suspenseful towards the end there. Also "wraith" is still such a mysterious person/operation. Hopefully they explain more about it later on.

Not sad reallly, but I've never been so worked up at a "scary" scene from an anime before. Very well done. To me FMP is at core still a naive anime so I feel that it's obvious that it's gonna have a happy ending (personally I prefer an ending that invokes feelings of true despair). Though I'm not as sure anymore, TSR really is something else.

I guess Kaname couldn't really appreciate Kousuke until he was gone. I'm interested to find out what happens next!!!

Actually she was starting to appreciate him before he left, as shown in the haircut scene of the last episode. And, it's Sousuke btw.

I was thinking the same thing.
Apparently, Chidori doesn't turn on the lights when she comes home.
She must be saving the money for the elec bill.

This is exactly how I feel. I feel like FMP is a naive series, but TSR seems like it's been doing something else entirely. Maybe the people involved decided to cut the crap and make a mature sentiment out of this series? Even if it gets all happy-dappy, I will remember the glory of this dark middle to the anime Wow!

Dammit, Sosuke! Your woman is in trouble! Screw the orders!

I feel sorry for everyone in this episode. Poor Sosuke has never been more conflicted. That scene where Chidori first calls him is almost painful to watch. As is Chidori's cheerfulness when she first wakes up. Little does she know how badly her day is going to end.

Wraith is mysterious and revolting. He doesn't care about Chidori's life at all!

That entire ending sequence is frightening and intense. It's amazing how little the creators of this have to do to make you fear for Chidori's safety every step she takes.

5/5, of course, for the quality of the episode, the drama, and the suspense, but this was NOT a fun watch.

Wahhhh. I always "hate" these parts in animes. Where the main couple is separated.
It makes when they finally reunite emotional and worth going through this.

Geez what a dark and depressing episode. I liked the overcast, rainy atmosphere. The second half felt like watching a horror movie. Kept expecting the slasher to get Kaname, who looked visibly terrified. So this Wraith douche has been watching all along? Gives off bad vibes.

The scene with Kaname being scared out of her mind actually felt intense and uncomfortable, which not a lot of anime can pull off.
Also what was up with that huge truck Sousuke had, 5 times his size ...

Depressing episode though :/

I read a comment on my page saying "That old man smells something weird" ... but I think that after seeing this chapter, there is only trust in him to protect Kaname: C


I am the only one that when they were walking around the city, a man appeared with his sleeves rolled up, and then his back was visible. Who else repeated that scene more than twice ?, looked suspicious xD

I had to do it !, she looked very fuc%%bl ... ejhm, I say; Very cute!

The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list.
The question is "Why do you like it?" That tells a story. Your story.

Nothing much happen in this episode YET it was soo intense!

It keeps blowing my expectatives, I already enjoyed alot S1, but S2 is really fulfilling with the highest grades in every departement... you read about the sypnosis for the series, see some eps, you see the potential of what this series can reach, and Second Raid is really reaching it every damm single episode!

Gotta check ep8 right away.

I was thinking Sousuke would go rogue for Chidori, but I guess his discipline prevents him from ever doing that.

Those apartments in Japan look nice and spacious btw. I'd love to live in one.

Ngl, my anxiety spiked so hard after that moment where Kaname first got all worried. I think it's because the sound effect in that passing scene was so loud, and I was so relaxed, but after that, I couldn't shake this really dreadful feeling. They did a scary good job of making the audience feel exactly the same as Kaname in the second half of the episode.
