Heh, a treasure hunting game...ok.

It looks like Rein is also taking on a more active role in this series rather than being in the background. Rein has a curious mind for someone her age. Well whatever, at least she isn't an enemy and seems to have knowledge about the deadly games. She seems like quite a risk taker too.

That Florist guy has a broken sigil. He can do all that and just hide without even revealing himself, such a convenient power. Well things are getting pretty exciting, now just need Shuka to join the fray.

This episode was cool. It was awesome to see badass Shuka fight by herself. The florist seems like an interesting villain. Kaname got really badass at the end. He and the Analyst work well together. I hope that this show won't turn into a harem. It was also interesting to see some of the people behind D-game.

That plant ability is fucking awesome! With the way he's using it, he's practically invincible! I'm really curious what Rein's Sigil is...

As far as running away is concerned; forget your pride! If running keeps you alive, choose that option!

The game's audience reminded me of hunger games. The actual players get some money, the investors a far bigger share and the house is... who exactly? And for what purpose? I doubt that the game is worth maintaining on an economic level...

Enjoyable episode and a nice battle royale setup. I am really excited to see how 'Plants and Zombies' is going to turn out.

Well yeah, probably. but would they'd be registered/counted as a legit rings by the game tho?
The fact that kaname were allowed into this type of game event by the admin/dev/game master despite knowing about his ability would means the rings he'd made would be a dud probably (I would assume they did knew, they're the ones managing the game and giving people power afterall)

This episode dropped my score for this series from 8 all the way to 5-6. The MC doesn't have a solid character, he's swinging back and forth from being a typical coward to being overly aggressive and prudent. Why didn't he just create the rings with his sygil? Because the ability is "not that convenient"? Such a bullshit explanation. Also the armored man encounter was such a joke. How lucky is Kaname?

Well its nice that the events organisers are trying to minimise civilian casualties. The stakes for this hunt sure are high though on top of the game itself. Given the location of the battle locking it down was a smart move on the enemies part. Even though the game is solo based having a clan help him out still gives Wang an excellent advantage. Shuka though sure is making quick work of her suitors though. Rein though sure is proving to be an interesting ally for Kaname though with her intelligence and calm nature being a boon here. The dead players coming back to life as zombie's though was a nice if unnerving surprise for Kaname and Rein though. Overall a solid ep that while doing well to introduce the start of the treasure hunt fully also did well to introduce the character of Rein as well. Her analysis of Kaname was spot on. The florist though looks to be an interesting opponent for the pair. At the same time im also quite curious in the characters of Themis and mask who was introduced this ep and the role that they will play in the game.

I like Rein. I think her character chemistry with Shuka (if they meet up) might turn out to be really well done. It could elevate the series.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

Cool episode, yet another Battle royal game this week with "Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu." (that's a way too long name...)

Rein's different from the other players but she could prove herself to be a good teammate, especially with all the knowledge she must have obtained

Thought the big guy with the gun would be the guy in the OP, but now I'm not so sure. It could be that he's actually not dead because plant guy needs his victims to be alive to control them. Anyway it seems Kaname's power involves scanning and item and then being able to reconstruct it? I think he scanned the machine gun in the elevator there anyway.

First post on this account woo, getting back into the anime community. I'm really enjoying this anime so far, it's not too different from the manga but honestly feel like it would be better as a 24 ep anime compared to the 12 eps that it's running for. But so far it's going fantastic imo can't wait for next weeks episode

He can create something mechanic. But not something with programming in it. Like he can't create phone, or even the rings

We don't know that yet for sure. His power was never clearly explained. The main character himself doesn't even yet fully understand his own power.

Another nice episode. I like the other girl. Also we got some people as spectators watching (and maybe betting) the players. Must be some big company with magic/supertech hosting the game.

Only the main ... could be a bit better. Still hesitant to kill even if it is to survive. Then again he seems to be not that stupid. (Recognized the other players might have been still allive.)

Remember from the 1st episode, Kaname didn't want to kill Shuka when he fought her, he wanted them both to live. A lot of people have a hard time killing someone else, especially someone as young as him. During WWII a lot of our Soldiers purposefully missed when shooting at the Germans even though the Germans were trying to kill them. Most people wouldn't call our Soldiers pussies either, as they pressed onward through massive amounts of oncoming bullets (this was before body armor). People on the internet can be all tough guy on the keyboard, but when you are there in the situation, holding a weapon and someone's life is in your hands.... then you find out what you really are. For reference: I'm retired Army and deployed 3 times to the Middle East. I've seen all kinds of people and how they react to that situation. Some are blood-thirsty, some only willing to kill in self-defense, some are like Kaname (willing to fight, but not wanting to kill), and I even had to deal with one Soldier that was a conscientious objector.
