I like how it gives us a bit more watch time, but I'm always a little disappointed when we don't get the full OP or ED.

I actually like it that we get the variety and have a chance to listed to the OP mixed a bit differently, tbh. Also would someone be a hero and post screenshots of every scene heart pen appeared? I keep missing those, apparently.

Odokawa is doing everything so smoothly to save all those innocent people that got involved with these gangster shit. Dobu who is quite clever himself when it comes to noticing such actions, fell for it.

Kakihana's crying and his reactions felt so realistic, his seiyuu did a good job.

If it's an “imaginary friend” then that would mean Odokawa has schizophrenia. But Odokawa who always thinks so logically, I doubt he would be schizophrenic.

They couldn't tell it's Shirakawa with a blindfold. Odokawa's view is an exception but even if you're seeing normal humans, isn't that obvious that if you know that person really well it won't be that difficult for you to tell it's them like a blindfold doesn't really cover your whole face, it's just the eyes that are covered. You could still tell that person apart because of the mouth, the face shape, their body figure, their hair and the clothes they're wearing.


Yano looks too cute here can't take him seriously XD

This is the show where almost every characters are intelligent. Especially Odokawa with his mysterious ability. So villains have to be even more intelligent by guessing the other side's plan correctly.

Another sign of intelligent, Odokawa uses "Telegram" instead of "LINE" to contact with little Daimon.

Just in case someone wondering why Odokawa has to fake a sneeze to take a picture (Hence the episode name "Bless You", another brilliant screenwriting). A law in Japan require every phone selling there to make a capture sound when taking a picture to protect privacy.

Yeah man, there's so much attention to detail, it's astounding.

Also from what I know the law is not just to protect privacy, it's to prevent creeps from taking upskirt pictures and such in crowded subways.

Feel bad for the monke. All the members of that group seem like trashy people. I'm not too sure about the black cat though. Don't remember them doing anything.

Just caught up with this anime and... wow, never expected I'd like it so much, it's so good!

We're getting more and more information about Odokawa's "mental issue", it's really interesting. The synesthesia pretty much confirmed the theories that they're humans but he sees them as animals.

And where did the dodo guy go? Weird not seeing him following Odokawa anymore.

Can't wait for next ep!

This episode pretty much confirms that Odakawa is seeing people as animals. I gotta admit Yano's rap/talk thing is getting on my nerves and its hard to keep up with all he's saying. Might just be the language barrier and having to read subtitles really fast though.

But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize

True, I have to pause every Yano's line and try to comprehend, but I like it.

There shouldn’t be any heart pen this episode. The podcast was a discussion with Taeko (the tavern lady), Donraku, and the producer (koala with glasses). That was mentioned when Odakawa and Gouriki were in the tavern, so it happened in the past.

The podcast lets you know where the pen will be.
Heart pen = doctor’s office? - Podcast = discussion between Gouriki and Odokawa.
Heart pen = Odakawad’s taxi? - Podcast = discussions in taxi.
Heart pen = with Big Diamon? - Podcast discussion between Diamon brothers.
Heart pen = Yamamoto’s notebook? - Podcast discussion between girls in Mystery Kiss.

Disappointed by all the Shiho hate in here....

She's a "bitch"? ...

How about some sympathy for the girl, who has to date middle-aged men for money, forced by her boss and the Yakuza...

Kakihana was just an idiot for lying and kinda creepy for dating a girl that is about 20 years younger than him...


Pretty sure Odakawa will tell him, too

Short OP again, seems like they need as much as time as possible.
I did say in m previous comment that I liked Yano's personality, but damn.. he's a dickhead.
Still love his rap. Kaikihana is getting tortured by them.. Poor guy, made a last call with his mom.
The case of Synethesia was pretty weird, kinda cool to have something like that. But it probably has to do something with the little flashbacks we saw. (in human form)
The mystery is building up.
Kabasawa after the credit scenes, sleeping with a woman.. making a lot of money off of Dobu.
Next ep is going to be amazing.

Yeah so that's really the confirmation that Odakawa has mental/brain problems or damage that cause him to see the other ones as animals and probably more... it hurts to see Kakihana in this state, I just hope that he'll be rescued soon, and Odakawa recorded Dobu when he was speaking of the robbery hmm

Odokawa colours people with something that makes it possible for him to identify them easily. Could it be that they are not furries and...? Also the video he sent to younger Daimon, I hope the big brother doesn't see it.

Things are finally coming together and I hope Odokawa doesn't get in too much danger.

Yamaguchi Kappei (also known as Usopp) is a perfect fit for the pathetic liar Kakihana. His performance really made you feel the pain.

Meanwhile you have Odakawa who's playing the game well. Can't wait for the pay-off. And he may have overlooked it at first, but thanks to Imai he was able to put 1+1 together.

Yano has some sick rhymes, especially in the opening of the episode, when he's giving Kakihana a well deserved roasting.

Jokes aside, I do feel bad for Kakihana. He made some very, very poor choices but he doesn't deserve everything that's happening to him right now.

I said this in the last episode but omfg Kakihana is serious about this 18 yr old girl who he's thoroughly convinced is in love with him. I feel sorry for his parents for having a dumbass child but I can't feel any sympathy for him. It's like he doesn't live in Japan, an 18 yr old girl getting married is extremely extremely rare and heavily frowned upon. It was very difficult to feel any sort of sympathy for his sorry ass.

Also that waiter who won the billion yen is another mega idiot. Why would you post something like that online? Now gangs are after him. He seems like a good person but honestly, I don't feel sorry for him either. He chose to be an idiot and now he has to reap the consequences.

Yano is a bad guy but honestly, he's the smartest. He was able to figure out Dobu's plan in advance and I'm thinking that body they found a few episodes back is the body of the idol girl, Shiho who wants out.

A lot of shit is going on. All of this connects back to Dobu and Yano's rivalry. Odokawa is playing a really dangerous role here. Seems like he remembered Kakihana.

Odokawa addressing Shiho again as "Calico Cat" and Yamamoto seems confused about it.
So this Odokawa identified others as Animal might actually true.

Wow i legit never heard of this "Synesthesia" before.

Lmao Yano RAP was really good.

Damn Poor Kakihana, when he said the dialogue to his mom through the Phone, almost like i can feel his pain and desperation.

Each episodes just keep getting better and better, as all the moving pieces slowly connected.

Was expecting Shiho to feel some grade of remorse but nope, it seems she's a full-time bitch.

As for Kakihana, he had it coming so I don't feel bad for him in the slightest. Yano is something else tho. Making Kakihana call his mother while he snickers in the background? Dude, that's sinister.

Odokawa is quite the extraordinary taxi driver so far with his ability to instantly recognize people he's seen before and also his smooth secret recording of Dobu.
Got the feeling that his ability has something to do with the world being full of animals as nobody in this series has used animal terms except Odokawa.

Huh, so Goriki and Shirakawa think that Odokawa is suffering from some kind of disorder? It might be true considering a weird shift in his nature...

Honestly, Taichi is becoming so annoying. He's literally become what a small YouTuber becomes after having a massive hit and now he's dabbling into cash grabs and being a douchebag. The author has some really well-written characters to make us hate or love them as we do.

Poor Kakihana. He shouldn't have lied about his earnings. Now he's caught up in this.

Why do I feel Odokawa has something huge planned out. Not to mention he sent Little Daimon his proof.

Yano is so darn annoying. He reminds me of Killer Bee's shitty raps.

Free my mans Kakihana. He doesn't deserve this suffering. He only wanted to find love.
He has to deal with getting beat up by Yano's goons and with Yano's flaming bars and rap.

Odokawa's real lucky that Dobu is a sloppy criminal. Why in the world would he allow Odokawa to use his phone when they're discussing incriminating details, especially after he gets a bit sketched out from being asked so many questions lol.

I think at this point, Odokawa is in danger. Yano's team has figured out he's working with Dobu which is not good. I figured that Odokawa had an imaginary friend after the previous episode because he put tape on the gunshot hole and said "now you can't escape" or something like that. How would a girl escape? Poor Kakihana is completely oblivious to the fact that he was being used. Whatever happened to the girl's phone that was slid between the seats? I completely forgot about that until now. It took Odokawa a sec to realize the calico cat was the same girl that matched with Kakihana. The whole theory that Odokawa sees people as animals is essentially confirmed at this point. Obviously everyone looks like animals all the time because otherwise it would be too obvious.
This never updates so that's cool
