It's pretty hard to find a show like this..when the guy gets more likes than heroine..Of course, Ayanokouji-kun deserved it!

When the anime passes the LN translation..i assume that this's just near the end of vol.2?

And we get Sakura, aka the first heroine candidate for MC. xD

Glad that this 'Danganronpa' arc's ending now...

The ending's quite dark, just like anime itself. This show needs 'psychological' > 'romance' but if they can balance it together..that'll be nice!

Want to know more about the backstory of him in facility/lab that looks like coming from Assasination Classroom :O (with the same studio!!)

Lerche always colour the eye of every badass MC...like that glowing in the dark eye so much ;P


THIS! Exactly! I have the same vibes from Assassination Classroom and now it all makes sense. Same director, same studio. Holy molly..

Great episode.

Totally loved how Horikita and Ayanakoji setup those C class punks and completely wrecked them in that confrontation. Glad the Sudo stuff is cleared up now.

Was really hard to watch the part where that guy assaulted Sakura, I loved how Ayanakoji just walked up behind and totally wrecked that guy by saying his life was over.

The conversation with the teacher shrouds Ayanakoji in even more mystery, I have no clue what his motivations or goals are in this entire ordeal where he seems to be playing everyone. Really wanna learn more about his backstory.

That last scene where he said don't pry into my life was badass.


Sudo is just a brainless punk. Expulsion would have been perfect if it wasn't needed for the main plot (which it was).
Not sure if the teachers know's something, or is trying to use her to discover it. He'll probably change objectives at the middle, 3/4 of the anime.

the pacing is too fast. looks like that Episode count of ? will be turned into 12 or 13. every episode ends with some fire though, i love it

on another note, the animation has been consistently great throughout it's runtime already. I should check out more of Lerche's stuff

Sakura's Problem

I expected Sakura to be posting pictures of herself online but not as in a blog. I knew that had fans but not like that. It seems to creep me out that this dude thinks he is destined to be with young girl just because he looks at the photos she posts on her blog (he thinks she posts them for him). And the fact that he goes all the to attempting to sexually assault her is to show how desperate he is when it comes to romance (or something like that). I knew I recognized the character from the same series but couldn't remember where. Then when they mentioned that he worked at the electronics store I remembered him from last episode. So that means the way he looking at her and the reason he wanted her address wasn't really based on her imagination and misunderstanding, it was because he knew her from her blog and he wanted to know where she lives so he could try to do what he did this episode to her and honestly, I'm not sure he would fail. It's good that Ayanokouji was there and decided that they should send it to his address because the guy isn't interested in him.

Sudou's Case

Okay, they made false evidence to make the culprits think that they already knew that they did it and convinced them to take back the complaint. There is a guy in Class C that has connections and some sort of king-complex. He has these English bodyguards with him (I have no idea why they would allow that in the school) and there is a girl with short greenish hair. He wants to eliminate all the classes and become the ruler of the school. So he will now target Ayanokouji and Horikita because they got in his way once before.

Ayanokouji-kun's Backstory

I feel like Ayanokouji is heavily inspired by Katsuhira from Kiznaiver. Both of their emotions seem to be compressed and they were part of a experiment when they were children. We don't know if the experiment failed so I can't say if it's entirely like Katsuhira, but I got a theory. It's some sort of assassin type thing. Remove their emotions, make them strong and teach them how to fight. I guess we have to find out in the next episode.

Assassin doesn't fit the anime.
Being trained to excel at everything in order to be part of a company or have a role in society makes more sense I guess. Like a group of people that would be part of some agenda.

This anime flirts with a darker undertone and that's what keeps it exciting and interesting! So creepy with the video store guy assaulting and almost raping Sakura but luckily they got there in time. I can't wait to see more into the dark past of Ayanokoji even if he doesn't want anyone prying into it...that made his character instantly more intriguing to me. I can't wait to see what happens next!

So his past has something to do with facility stuff for children. Going to assume they train the kids as hitmen or some shit like that, as that's the only real reason to have a facility for children in most anime these days. Most logical explanation due to his martial arts or whatever we saw earlier.

I kinda want to spoil myself now. Kinda curious.

I knew that camera dude was a complete sleezeball, Ayanakoji also felt the same and set up him great.

It's good that they managed to help Sudo out.

Loved that scene at the end, he eyes when he said don't pry into my life.

Looking forward to watching the next episode.

This was a very important episode as you see at the end. We see some of Ayanokoji's past. I think it's safe to say that Ayanokoji is among one of the smartest students at the school and he doesn't want to leave anyone behind due to his past trauma (as we see in the flashback). Of course this is all speculation.

Overall this episode was amazing.

Oh damn, I feel sorry for Airi after that creep's attempting assault. Good thing Kiyotaka came to the rescue.

Speaking of Kiyotaka, that flashback and that look at the end made me way too curious. Really sucks that the anime is already past the novel translation.

At first i thought this series would be one of the cringe and cliche anime about a emo/boring guy helping random girls without a any reason.
ep 6 is a game changer, it gives me different perspective about this anime the background story part isn't really anything new but at least it gives us a hint why he acts that way.

from 7/10 to 8/10

please don't fail my expectation

Am I the only one who got the vibe that the MC was heartless (emotionless) even as a child from the flasback ? Like the kid next to him was dying (I presume) and he just turned a blank eye. I love this MC so much and I agree with the sensei that he is probably the most broken out of all of D class. I feel like that he genuinely wants to have a normal school life because I acan presume from the flashback he didn't have a normal life and he is aware that he is kinda numb so he wants to a least have a normal school life but there must be something else too

I'm just wondering why the genre is romance when there is no romance even going on here. I feel like this anime is so serious and this ep... CRAZY!

Also, I'm curious about the opening songs. There is lots of word in it but its on a different language I wonder if it trying to tell us something.

anyway, great episode. it's getting darker and darker, each and every character they have are really something you can called hypocrite, huh?

Just leave it be, dude. it'll be totally boring if the show's going as you want.

All of the cases aint that unrelatrd, and we knew that it was ryuuen's doing for finding out the effect of expulsion.

And it was just koji got triggered by hori's words,and that popped up. it was only flasback anyways. people's been talking some shit bout the ln, and they didnt even have a clue about that room, since it was only mentioned(cmiiw) So lerche wont go in to the details, likely.

This anime is so fucking good.

I love the dark undertones. The ending scene was amazing. I think that's the most emotion I've seen the MC display. His voice was very flat still, but the way the camera was positioned on his eyes made it seem really sinister. I half expected yandere eyes :') I'm dying to know who he is and what happened to him. It's taking a lot not to google the source material and search for spoilers :P I'm actually rooting for MC to be a bit evil. I like his manipulative, cold side.

The Sakura story was really, really creepy. Like, it honestly got to me. As someone who has experience sexual assault, I found it really hard to watch.

Only thing missing from this ep was Kushida!

What the Teacher said to Horikita gave me that exact vibe.

At first, I thought that he was terminally ill or something, that he knew the day he was going to day, so that's why he was helping everyone and letting them get all the credit.

Then... the ending happened. I abandoned my idea and fell into thinking the obvious. He's a child soldier hitman and got away so he wants to keep a low profile and enjoy his life, or something.

But then, you say this... and now I'm thinking that maybe I was not so far off. Maybe, his days are counted. Maybe, that's the deal with this white room.

Anyways, it's just my impression.

not sure why this and the past 2 episodes are rated so high. it wasnt THAT good. solid episodes though for this sakura girl arc. i could do without it since she doesnt seem like she'd be an important person who will add to the story but ehh watever

also, i feel like they are overusing that epic piano ost first heard when anokoji and kushida were doing that rape scene. its literally played 3 times in a row for the past 3 episodes. the next few times they play it, the value of it is just going to go down and if there's something epic or crazy that happens later on, it wont be as good

Into THINKING THE OBVIOUS!! "He's a child soldier hitman and got away so he wants to keep a low profile and enjoy his life, or something"
Just listen to yourself!

What about.... he is someone who was trained to be excellent at EVERYTHING! and is cold hearted (love those type of characters!), and now this is where the **** hits the fan... and someone who he felt different towards (like friend, but since he is still cold hearted not really) (someone who was his commander or something like that) made a comment on how heartless he was, and so he thought maybe if I attend this school and have a 'normal' school life I will be different somehow

NOW LISTEN TO ME!!! SERIOUSLY!!! TOTAL CRACKPOT!!!!

Anyways as for how the future goes, we have that "Romance" tag on this series, so we can already discern what will happen between the 2 MCs and if my retarded guess holds true (.00000000000000000000001% chance) things take a MASSIVE TURN and secrets get revealed etc and the list of ppl who he gives a damn about gets a new addition!

My problem is that there's no way the main character's background is going to be delved into to any major extent. It'll probably be revealed in the last 3 eps or so, and then after solving some problem they were in before the reveal the series will end. I really hope I'm wrong, but I can't see it ending any other way at this point. We'll see what happens next episode.
