| Now the real question is, is if we can forgive Hiro for killing about 70 people, 20 of which did nothing with the other 50 being fucked up internet trolls, and then healing about 70 people? I dont know man... also with the end of the episode I don't know if the girl is going to be around much longer to keep him good, so if she were to die he'd be more fucked up then ever |

| Well I managed to catch up with this series at least. Yeah, the problem with Hiro suddenly doing good deeds is he's only doing them because of Shion. Left up to his own nature he'd just as soon massacre the entire population. Were something to happen to her...and I honestly thought he'd kill her too, which he nearly did, but now I see she and her grandma are probably just gonna get killed in next week's crossfire causing him to rampage with only Inuyashiki, noticeably absent this week, left to stop him. I still can't like or forgive Hiro, but I did feel happy for that first cancer patient he healed, the one we actually got a couple minutes with. And what a transformation! At first I thought she was a long haired man but she looked stunning in the last shot of her healed. |
| this show is on some serious bullshit this episode. |
| Episode 7 felt really similar to episode 5, but this one wasn't that good since it had that rushed redemption. We seem going nowhere with Hiro, even tho he is now a pretty good character. I missed Inuyashiki! |
 |
| I'll be pretty disappointed if this situation plays out the same way as with his mother; Shion's too cute to waste like that. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| Everything going so well for Shishigami & Shion?...well...I don't think so! If i'm gonna predict, those flying military black ops would storm the house of Watanabe killing her in process along with her grandma, would trigger Shishigami more hatred to all humans! ... That's what I think... 5/5. |
 |
| So Hiro is the hero? Did not see that coming after last week's massacre. Well Hiro is gonna go all over Leviathan again by redeeming his sins. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Even though I love gramps, it's always interesting watching Hiro. It's scary to think what would happen if you stripped away a young sociopath's humanity and then gave him an indestructible and weaponized body. |
| Godfuckingdamnit. Why is it everytime Hiro tries to change himself to become a better human being, shit always happens to him!?! For the second time, the cops found him and are back to get his ass. Forgodsake, maaan. 4 episodes left and I'm cryiiiiing. Waaah. I thought he's about to cut Shion with that cutter. Thank, Kami-sama, he didn't. He decided to show himself as a human cyborg to Shion and she still likes him. I admire this girl's courage being with Hiro despite him being a mass murderer. Lmao. The thing called love does to people, maan. Hiro decided to cure people from their illness as exchange for the lives he took. His first 'customer' is that lady who has a terminal cancer and dangit when she was cured. Damn, she's so beautiful. I'm so happy Hiro cured him. When she started crying so hard in the playground and those kids calling her "ugly bitch" (this is one of the many reasons why I despise kids), I cried, too, because I felt her pain. Great job to her seiyuu. Shion became Hiro's own version of Inuyashiki's Andou. Haha. I like Shion. <3 I ship her and Hiro, and I hope she continues to guide Hiro to goodness. Damnit. "Forever. I promise to cherish you forever." D'awww. :3 No sign of Inuyashiki-san this episode, and yet it's still great. Fucking loved this episode. And this anime came from 9/10 to 10/10 since its previous episode real quick. :D |

| I still don't care about Hiro and never will, otherwise fine episode I guess. |
 |
| Didn't enjoy this episode as much as the previous ones, but it was still very enjoyable. The 180 in hiro's acts felt a bit too quick to be believable. I mean, it's completely possible for real people to go full 180 in their personality but for hiro it felt wrong, since most of the previous episodes were mostly focused on showing how huge was the contrast between hiro and inuyashiki, and hiro going out of his way to heal people somewhat broke that contrast. I have nothing against giving some nuance to a villain, but now, if we're talking in terms of black and white we have an almost white protagonist against a grey antagonist, which to me isn't that exciting. The cliffhanger got me really hyped tho. |
| A pretty ok episode to me. Other than Shion love for Hiro, I think she believe there is kindness in him. After his mom death, he turn his affection towards Shion and her grandma who are also really nice people. Hiro loves them and wanna make Shion happy by stop killing (something that he wished to do just before police came to his house to arrest him for the murders)and healing people from all over the country.Good thing to see he laughed happily again but my feeling is right about this happy moment won't last long when the swat team coming to the house. Pretty sure the next episode will have lots of action,hopefully. |
| Wow so it was all about Hiro this episode. It was an emotional one, Shion is cute and sweet. Hiro has turned good again it seems, let's see what happens next... |
| I really loveeee how they end the episodes,an amazing cliffhanger like always. But im kind of really happy that Hiro and Shion are happy although i know its probably not gonna last long. I think Hiro can be kind to the people he cherishes although he has killed a very big amount of families :( I was also very happy when they both decided to do the right thing by curing the ones near death or very illed ones. I cant get enough of this show im obsessed with it. |

| The episode was cool and all but idk man Hiro is out of character..Nobody should change THAT fast |

| I still don't see any redeeming factor for Hiro. For now he's saving people only because he wants to keep this girl happy. The second something will happen to her, he'll start again his killing spree... |
 |
| First time 'YouTuber' was ever said in an anime, surprisingly. Set up for a tragedy. |
 |
| Didn't like the whole 180 turn of character for Shishigami and Shion's fanatical affection. The cancer girl story was touching, though. So much feels. |

SegmentZ said: yeah, that's right where the manga ends, theres not even a single page after that i do hope anime adds something afterwards tho, it's really abrupt I hope they go with a full anime original ending. That twist plot was just plain stupid, at least for me. |
| OMG Shion is so cute and just top tier waifu material like woah ;___; It was so emotional when she was so concerned about Shishigami leaving rather than him just letting her fall on the ground. I can understand both characters quite well actually I mean you could argue that this development was way too quick but I don't agree with that! Shion is obviously really lonely even if she has her gandma and she was already in love with Shishigami beforehand so there's that, too! When it comes to Shishigami I'd say that Shion is his mothers replacement. |
mehmehperson said: I hope this girl dose'nt become like misa from Death Note. Why is she in love with a murduer? Why is she in love with someone who dose'nt have a beating heat in his chest? Why is she in love with someone who can't have sex? Can machine people even age? I guess Hiro is the new Hero of this anime now? Where Grandpa robo Jesus at? >She was in love with him, yet she didn't belive Hiro was a mass murderer >After learning he indeed was a killing machine, she saw that at the very bottom, he was a human, and he was scared of what he became >She didn't want him to be a Killing Machine, that's why Hiro chooses to become a Healer. >C'mon, after Chobits, Plastic Memories, Sora no Otoshimono,The Bicentennial Man, Blade Runner and many others....I think Human-Machine relationships aren't that weird. Shion probably played Nier:Automata and unlocked 100% of the stuff. >Who says Hiro can't have sex? I think the guy even has a DroiDildo 5000 with 100hp and Nanomachine sperm integrated. >Maybe he won't age, but we don't know how much his Hardware is gonna last. >Grandpabot is probably still reading the manual of his Robot Body, not even Hiro knows that you can torrent and stream anime from your own head! |

| tfw Hiro goes from psychopath to perfect bf material in one episode |
 |
| So the anime took a different turn with Hiro this episode. He seems to be just someone who wants his life to have meaning. So as the bitterness of his mother's death has faded, he was... kind of open to being a hero. Strange. I did not think that he actually cared about this girl. She must've had at least some influence to have him set on saving people. Still, he's unstable and unreliable. He doesn't seem to enjoy saving people, he's just kinda going through the motions of it (maybe likes making this girl happy, still not sure). All these lives he's saved... If it's been 2 months, he must've saved 1000's of people by now. So yeah, it arguably does make up for those 54 lives he took if you look at the bigger picture, BUT at the same time what he did is unforgivable. I said that it would never work for them to try and turn him into a protagonist. That opinion is waning a little but I still mostly stand by it. So now some kind of secret service FBI-type thing are gonna ruin his "saving streak" to try and take him out again. Needless to say, they won't be able too. I don't know what he'll do when this goes down. His happy fantasy life with this girl and his grandma is about to come crashing down... Yeah, he'll probably go back to killing mode. And if he does, and we missed Inuyashiki this episode and in the time period this episode, our true hero will have to DO SOMETHING. I so missed him this episode, and an epic fight between them is still DESTINY. |
| worst episode so far dont even get me started xP |
| Hiro: I am da evil! Andou: Can you be a super hero instead? Hiro: No. Hiro: I am da evil! Shion: I'm obsessed with you, please stop da killings and be a super hero! Hiro: After consulting with my lower brain, we have come to the conclusion our previous actions were in the wrong and shall right the wrongs. It seems like the plot likes to make sure any woman that tries to influence his decisions gets into trouble. |
| now Hiro is a good guy?! that's not how shit works he killed people he's a villain period |
 |
| Hiro's character development changed quickly compared to the previous episode. I did not expect that to happen just only because of the girl. He cured few people like Inuyashiki. Is he turning a hero now? I guess not. The cliffhanger will change everything. |

Rehls said: HereticHunter said: So whats the big deal with they becoming robots? are they just going to leave that there while we don't get answers and instead of that we will have SoL moments? what the hell went wrong with this anime? I'm not buying that Out of character that Hiro has gone through: Serial Killer because its fun, then he becomes a mother's child, then he goes back to Serial Killer, and then magically the power of love wins over a ROBOT and then starts saving people's life... welp I was gonna reply to this before but I ended up not feeling like it. Anyway. So, the thing with the aliens is that they're a real world concept of a real possibility. Long stuff see, I don't really have a problem with him behaving like that, the problem is that the pace is all over the place, making it feel really rushed and lackluster About the aliens, then your explanation leaves it as a plot convenience, it just works to set up the anime and that's all what matters |

Quexlaw said: I don't really get the people who think Hiro had a change of heart or that his "character development" was way too fast. You guys simply don't understand the character that is Hiro. Hiro is apathetic to almost everyone aside from the select few that give his life purpose. He is the very embodiment of the youth that feels like life has no meaning, much like a lot of youths nowadays. His mother was the only person he really cared for, but he didn't take her into account when he went and tried to find his own humanity in killing people after he became a robot. He went from "life heaving no meaning" to questioning himself whether he was still a "human" or not and tried to compensate and answer this question by killing people. So when she was gone, he had no purpose anymore, so he went on another killing spree. When he felt that Shion wouldn't give up on him, he filled the void that his mother left with Shion (and her grandma in a way). I don't remember if much else was said about Shishigami's mother in the manga, but I think that Shishigami now doesn't even care about his mother anymore, as he has "pushed" her out of his emotional core. Now that Shion is his purpose, he acts to make her happy; he doesn't care about the well being of the people he cures, just like he doesn't care about the people he killed. That's why he asked Shion if that makes her happy. He had exactly zero change of character. It's just that his character is a well written one, one that isn't one dimensional. One that is heavily flawed, just like real humans. He hasn't become a hero, and he never was evil either; you don't care for the bugs you crush beneath your feet, right? At least, I guess most of you don't. Or for the people that create our clothing under horrible working conditions. Same for Hiro. He doesn't care for "people". Only for certain, chosen individuals. And even then, once Shishigame loses contact, he cuts them off from his own heart. It happened with Andou first, then with his mother. The second Andou said he didn't want anything to do with Shishigami anymore was the moment Shishigami abandoned his own emotions regarding Andou. This is just a surface level description of his character, but I hope that some of you get another perspective on Hiro as a character. But he never did that for Andou. His character development is full of inconsistencies and it is way too fast paced, it also denies any logic. If the development of him were handled with care, things would have been differently. Problem is not how he behaves, but the lackluster development. Case Closed. |

| That's what happens when you go on a murder spree and decide to be good later, the government still won't stop till your ass gets puts in prison. Hiro just can't catch a break,,, |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| that was some bullshit |
| Honestly not sure if terrible character writing by Oku, or just complex character writing. Either way, I'm still enjoying this show a lot. One of my favorites for the season. |
| Well Hiro's change of heart was more bearable to see in the manga than compared this episode. Honestly it felt a bit akward and probably wouldn't have been justified even if the show had 13 eps instead of 11. That said, while Hiro did help people he'll still end up paying for what he did. |
 |
| Wow... that was... rushed, but that's way understating it. Wtf kind of logic did the girl buy into anyways? Healing people is great, but it doesn't take way the sin of killing. Still waiting on the outcome that Hiro will face for his murders. How will he avoid legal action? Will Inuyashiki let him off if he knew he supposedly turned into the good guy? Hopefully it doesn't feel as bullshit as Hiro's 180 this episode. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| The light hearted vibe this episode was enjoyable and a nice breather from the usual Inuyashiki darkness. It gave that cliffhanger at the end some serious impact. Looks like sh**'s about to hit the fan next week xD |
