Well, that was kind of sad but Nagomi's naiveness is really getting on my nerves.


I'm on board with your statement as well. She can be annoying in long terms. From the beginning, I never liked Nagomi's overenthusiasm at work and when the big bang war is about to erupt at Akiba, she will either flee and never come back or stay incognito while acting like a coward.

Not inclined yet if she gets killed at the end of the show.

Nerura barely had any characterization like most of the characters that have been killed off in the show, so it's kinda difficult to feel sad about her death. She conspicuously looked as if her character would be fleshed out like the Tonkoton members or other prominent characters in the show, shown by the several cameos she had in some of the episodes prior to episode 6, only for her character to be killed off so suddenly with the show barely giving any characterization to her character other than she's a nice person whose only purpose to befriend and be kind to the FMC(with them barely knowing anything about each other even at episode 6), and then somehow willing to sacrifice her life for someone she barely known.

It's disappointing how her character is only a convenient plot device for Nagomi without having much of a character herself.


You spoke every word of what I implied and I couldn't agree more.

Like everyone else knows what it is up but she is like," Wait we don't simply act cute and sell food and dance?" Like girl just fucking quit and find a job as a Hostess if you want to be that. You legit joined a gang.

She better return back to the countryside if Nagomi is that stupid and let us not forget she barely had wounds, scratches, scars or past injuries, so why would she ever bother be so awfully feeble?. I wouldn't feel bad if she gets brutally smacked to death.

We're halfway in now. Very emotional episode. I think now it's fair to say that this anime is more than just decent. That ED hit hard as well.

As silly and contrived as the plot is, this episode left me in tears. The ED lyrics really hurt
A true Japanese drama. You follow your heart and soul. Even to the death.

Let's hope they don't wait until the last episode where she becomes John Wick and kills everyone. That would be really stupid.

Depends if they still inclined on inserting that trope for the sake of black comedy. Then again, it would be a cop-out.

The immediate contrast in the sakazuke sequence was rather funny.

Love how the themes of personal sacrifice in the belief of someone else and the greater good they can accomplish is conveyed effectively (if you're gonna do the yakuza tropes, you have to go balls out (as it is prescribed in the Gokudo) and do them tropes right!)

This maid had a death flag since she appeared. It was inevitable.

I'm somewhat amused by this thread. If you weren't chuckling during the overly dramatic death scene, this show's brand of humour and parody is flying over your head. I mean we're talking about a blood-drenched cute maid dying in an alley due to gang warfare. C'mon lol. The show is great fun and straddles the thin line of parody and honouring gangster tropes really well.

I'd like to see Nagomi become bitter and slowly lose her humanity as she falls deeper into the gang lifestyle, perpetuating a cycle of violence and revenge before she sees the light again, but alas I doubt they'll go that route.

This anime is really not good at all. Especially the pacing is horrible. The way they just casually dropped Ranko's past in a random monologue at the beginning when it could easily be one of the main plot points is laughable. 
But at least they finally started giving some backstory and explaining what the hell is actually going on in this universe. 6 episodes in... 😂
Also every episode feels the same, 15 Minutes of boring talk into 5 minutes of action and death.

Damn, Nagomi is really a mood killer. Wished she wasn't so obnoxious. When in Akiba, do as the Akiba...
