Well Kobayashi is back but I don't think he's back like 100% the way he was before.

Really feel bad for him. Everything changed for Kobayashi ever since he got shot and his mental state seems more fragile than ever. Not to mention, his past didn't look pleasant either. Poor guy.

Kobayashi is having more memories. They don't look really good. His mother looks really sick and he was abused by his father. Now everyone is helping him to find the place it happened at.

This episode left us with so many questions! Hopefully we'll get some answers next week.
...And maybe Hanasaki will become less annoying?

Interesting how we saw his powers react when his father(?) threw him against the wall, but not when he kicked him?

Not a fan of this ending though.

It's not just you, I think so too.
At first I thought it was a bad/mediocre anime and was watching it only because I fell in love with the edginess and emoness of Kobayashi (I know I have a pretty weird taste :D), but since the first half ended I'm actually getting more and more interested in the story itself.
Koba-chin's still in the first place, though.

Wow, poor Kobayashi, I almost cried... I'm so sad for him. Hope he'll get better soon and that Hanasaki will be the one helping him.
Noro did a good job lol!

The pictures in the ending were really beautiful!

Looks like Kobayashi is still traumatized, will Hanaski finally pull himself together?

Hanasaki has been really annoying for quite a few episodes now, i hope they resolve his bitchy attitude soon. My biggest problem with this show is that over the course of both cours they have raised so many questions episode after episode that at this point i don't think they have enough episodes left in the season to give it a proper conclusion.

Kobayashi gets more memories back, his mom died because she couldn't handle giving birth to him and the dad hates him now.
Hanasaki getting back into his old self with nono's help.

For me it's the rest of the club who are annoying and bitchy. Especially Inoue. Honestly, Hanasaki was always bright and cheerful, trying to keep high spirit even when things weren't so great. Then something really awful happens and everyone is giving him cold shoulder. He's obviously blaming himself for falling into a trap of a man who has them all fooled all the time, and Inoue is acting like "yeah, you suck, you should feel bad". What would you have him do? Just go back to his old self and ignore the issue? He is not that dense, and everyone's attitude makes it all but impossible anyway. Yeah, he's stuck, he doesn't know what to do, because it's a freaking mess and his "friends" appear to abandon him and he's just a messed up teenage boy.

pretty messy for them, but all i really care about is how the older couple is cute again with 2x20 faces, this will be fun.

also curious if he was the one to kill his mother.

We finally see more on Kobayashi's past! He had a sick Mother and his Father beat him because he never wanted a child. Poor Koba...
That ending with Akechi though ... what? I am so confused. Is he working with twenty-faces now? Was he twenty-faces all along? What the hell! I don't get it!

I agree, I can't believe they're still acting like this. Either tell Hanasaki to fuck off or forgive him already. Inoue giving him the death stare has really gotten old.

Kobayashi's dad blames him for her illness.
Hana emo derps way too much. Inoue's cold but he opened the door & waited for Hana, it's the pos who backed out. Now he's back with those shady new friends (probably related to 20face).
20face adds another terrible fashion mask groot. Akechi also goes 20face biggest twist.

The three ending sequences which we have seen so far featuring Gackt's "Original Sin" are great, but I can't say the same for the drop in animation quality :|

Oh man, it looks like Kobayashi is born to a dysfunctional family, his otosan doesn't like him, his okasan is sick and has died, so how the fuck did he got that kind of power is unclear. Now what is Akechi up to?

THIS... Inoue is really pissing me off, he needs to get over himself. Hanasaki was the driving force and spirit of the club. There's no wonder why its so dead now. He's shown a lot of remorse already but he's ultimately taken aback by the chilly reception he's been given especially from Inoue. Inoue can go wheel himself into a ditch somewhere with his crappy cold attitude.

I need Kobayashi and Hanasaki back together!

hahaha I like scenes of this episode. The red haired guy is certainly a good guy lol. Thanks to him and noro, I think he's going back to his normal cherish personality.. The ED art is great but the last spoof is just silly. ewh.
We did this every day that summer. There wasn’t a day we missed.

This is the best answer for all this anime! Is what I was thinking all the time. Because we can see many times that Hanasaki tried to give himself a chance to see if the club still wanted him but Inoue said no, it was pretty clear. His WAS trying to be bright like always when we saw him at the psychologist but he couldn't find his place anymore. And he WANTED to be with Kobayashi, to be forgiven, even if Kobayashi had already. He felt like he always bring problems to them and left. And its totally true that 20 faces confused everyone's minds and everyone already knew what he was able to do. Wasn't his fault.
And at least to me, the anime isn't boring, the plot was getting more deep after many episodes, when we could see the superficial of the characters first. But I'm still confused as to when Akechi discovered that 20 faces was a man lol
