| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Can't say it was predicable. But nothing special. Mario says his goodbye to his love. Jou is taking a shot to become a singer... Well. I want to see what other guys are going to do. I still can not take Turtle seriously, even when he is in a suit. ;) |
     |
| I was expecting a kissing scene actually,but Setsuko-san, you disappointed me D: Joe, wtf was that O_O I was scared like hell when that vocal tried to make him swallow that thing. Turtle lol xD You paid to the wrong woman mwhahaha xD  And after that the words of Scam made me laugh so hard. "Money, money! It's time to become a man!" lol XD |
| サービスサービス |
| So mario lets setsuko go like that.... wtf.. seriously. Sigh, at least joe's part was more interesting. |
| Eh this episode was hmmm lets see...... Mario tried to be valiant and just smile Setsuko off, cant blame the guy too bad I mean it wouldve been insanely cheesy if he just shows up and kidnaps her and well we all know that scenario. So new adventures in Tokyo await. I thought that old lady with Baremoto was the orphanage director from Joes childhood....and then gets the attractive one and well 1 minute man sequence. Really I get Joe getting jumped by 7 guys but still couldnt push off that 1 guy at the end, I mean after all this time id assumed youd become stronger, or I guess he was injured I dont know. And lastly Joe once again is being used as a sex tool, granted this 'manager' is infinitely better that the old orphanage director and Sasaki but still, I dont know I get it, more drama, its just Joe is still coming off as a victim which is annoying. All I know is if he becomes a drug addict I will hate this series. |
| LOL SCAM made me laugh, man she is going to use Joe for her own pleasure~ He is better of going with Mario to Tokyo and finding his dream there. |
| Oh, the violins! All the love scenes were sooo cheesy in this episode. Mario sure is a looker, but I like my men without the melodrama. Also, why did it have to start raining? Apparently, any scene PLUS RAIN becomes dramatic and powerful. Sheesh. Baremoto jizzed in his pants. Lmfao. He jizzed. In his pants. Man, look at all the shit Joe got himself into. Is it just me, or does this anime make everyone in Japan look like a bunch of dicks and scumbags? For real? |
| Okay so much in this episode >_< Mario just sends off Setsuko with his smile and lets her marry like that? .. When that Mickey vocalist wanted to stuff that mercury into Joe's throat I was so scared he was going to do it, thank god he didn't. ANd i can't believe Joe would let the woman do that to him.. sigh I hope to see Meg SOON! |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| Setsuko... :( I guess its for the best hopefully she finds happiness with husband. |
| Molested by a Japanese MILF? No problem. :D |
 |
| did sakuragi ever reminded anyone of that guy from yugioh? the eyes lol |
 |
| Wtf, Mario letting go Setsuko so easily was disappointig and weird.~ Baremoto was funny though, I almost thought that they did it with that old hag xD I totally fell for that Mickey guy at first, but then he tried to force Joe to swallow that thing and I was shocked~ In the end, Joe is gonna be used again as a toy... |
 |
| Poor Joe =/ Always used as sex toy ;o; |
 |
| Adultery is always entertaining to watch no matter what setting, and I foresee mario with a illegitimate child in the future. |
| Lol , Baremoto had bad luck .. Setsuko does it with Mario and then gets married with another man ... LoL. And why does every old guy/woman abuse Joe ? Is he supposed to be "pretty" ? |
KuroDubZero said: Adultery is always entertaining to watch no matter what setting, and I foresee mario with a illegitimate child in the future. Hmm now that would be something, Rainbow spinoff, Marios illegitimate child. BUt still knowing how this series loves drama its pretty believable we will be left off with that kind of twist in the end. Huh found this by accident, at episode 17 there are 9 episodes left, I figured the actual manga was at least halfway through. Nope at this point with Joe and his 'manager', they are only ending at volume 7 out of the total 22 volumes. |

| Uh, sorry, but wasn't everybody annoyed by how unrealistic MarioXSetsuko seemed and now that they've split up, it's all "What? How could you let her go." |
 |
| Yeah it's possible that Setsuko's pregnant right now :D And Baremoto was hilarious :D Poor Joe. First that hag in the orphanage, then that perverted gay doctor and now this woman. And that vocalist Mickey... I was so scared when he was about to make him swallow mercury... Joe's life sure is hard :D |
| poor Baremoto lol he visited the house of horror instead the house of pleasure :P |
 |
| I'm glad Joe got to shine in this episode. His singing bit at the jazz club was pretty cool. I feel bad for him, though. He's the one with the suckiest life out of all his friends. Apparently, Half-Japanese boys with Aryan features = sex toys. I also thought that the Five Lemons vocalist really was going to break that thermometer in Joe's mouth. ...And on a more pleasant note, Scam's erection was funny. XD |
 |
| wow Joe's part was awesome... Baremoto hilarious as usual xD goodbuy Setsuko... |
JePiNaY said: Some scenes with Mario and Setsuko bothered me because it seemed too predictable. Still, I can't believe that he'd just let her go like with a smile. Unless he was just doing that to assuage her worries. Baremoto became my favorite after his small part in the episode. Sure he's been thinking of all the plans but he was just funny here. :D Mickey. o_O Wowww. That scared me. And now this older woman. Wowwww. Joe's disappointing me. I'm curious. Since they mentioned his sister again and about being "used". Is it possible that she's in one of those pleasure houses that Turtle's been taking Baremoto? If anything, if Baremoto decides to go to another one...she's there? Hmm im not sure all I know is that his sister, Meg comes back in volume 8 at some point. It was just hard to tell what was going on since I cant really understand the kanjis or the sudden changing of characters. |
| should have named this episode sex....sex for love, sex just to get some, and sex for profit Really though, this episode was really well done...except the content of it has me super depressed right now. I'm worried for Joe! Was doing great, was happy, got his big shot....and then bam hes at his lowest low. |
 |
| Great episode that depivcted quite well the 50's in Japan I guess. Good developments too. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Although I like to see MarioxSetsuko and Joe not being a sex toy it's actually quite interesting that the events of this anime aren't easy to predict, making the story very interesting. Probably top 3 anime for the year 2010. No idea why animes such as Nyan Koi or K-ON etc gets more seen than this one. Mickey's part was a real twist O_o |
 |
| I think Joe and his Sister could be both happy and rich if they just became prostitutes or something. They might as well get paid to have sex with old disgusting people. |

Yea I don't really think she loved him or at least loved him like she did Sakuragi. She only saw parts of Sakuragi in him. It would have been interesting to she her decision if Sakuragi had lived. |
| Too much cheesy moments to handle. X_x And after 17 episodes, the one thing I learned from this series is that in the Japan of the 50's, everybody was evil... really evil, lol. |
| Ara ara. |
| Setsuko was right about herself, she is no good! You slept with Sakuragi, then Mario, and turn around and get married to a different man the next morning. What a whore!!!! Don't worry, Mario. I'll marry you and turn you into my own personal sex slave! I knew Scam was going to cum before he could even pull down his pants...I was however, expecting him to be able to at least make it to the bedroom...not on the stairs. Poor Joe...at least this woman looks MUCH better than the orphanage director and the Dr. Relax...you can actually have a little fun with this woman! |

AnimeMama said: Poor Joe...at least this woman looks MUCH better than the orphanage director and the Dr. Relax...you can actually have a little fun with this woman! yeah :D Milf ftw |
| Joe arc seems much more interesting than Setsuko/Mario one. It was obvious Mario was a copy cat Anchan and i am glad he understood that so we could move on. I was pretty excited to see Joe light up the stage actually, and then i thought he would actually lose his voice since we have already seen such cruelty in this show. Thankfully that wasn't the class but he becomes a toy again. Well at least she isn't that old hag Baremoto got, and the perks are good... That is looking optimistically though. 4/5 |
| not even a minute into the episode after the opening. I had to come here and post AW HELL NO. Wait, SkyFade said: is she really not? I'm just in total rage atm. 2 minutes in. Maybe watching it all would relieve me.I thought that old lady with Baremoto was the orphanage director from Joes childhood.... |

| I didn't like the first half much, but the second part, wow...but maybe that's because I can't stand Mario and I like Joe. Can't wait to see how the singing career will work out for him. |
| Not that I mind or anything but, add to the list of cliches; rainstorm in a sad parting scene. Looks like Mario's hand might be busted permanently. Oh Baremoto's privates got bareteshimaeta :) Joe's story is very promising, and jesus he sings really well. I hope it makes up for the disappointing ending of Mario&Setsuko's story. Oh and that Naoko chick had antagonist written all over her since the Jazz club. |
| |
| WTf did mario do setsuko? who knows. and I hope there will be an episode that joe finds his sister again. I feel bad for her. |
| I too would like to know what Mario and Setsuko have done. o_O The last scenes of this episode reminded me how incredibly depressing this series was. :( |
Tayloroids said: haha.. me, too.. i was about to get real bored on this series coz of Mario but Joe's stories somehow gets my attention somehow.. he's the guy i want to see the good end of.. i mean, his life totally sucked as a sex toy..I didn't like the first half much, but the second part, wow...but maybe that's because I can't stand Mario and I like Joe. Can't wait to see how the singing career will work out for him. |
| Watchng the scene when mario smiles to setsuko was really hard to watch i wanted to drink too, but then again its hard letting someone go. Joe better become famous, being used.....setsuko |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| poor joe winding up where he pretty much began, being used by an old woman so he can sing |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Mario and Setsuko move fast. The thing with Baremoto was random though. Who knew you had to have sex with a woman to become a man? /rolling eyes Joe's situation is conveniently sappy and contrived. It's not as if this is his only option to become a star, so I can't feel bad for him at all. On the whole though, not a bad episode for this series. |
     |
| Great episode, Im glad we're starting to focus on the other characters. |
 |
| I lol'd at Baremoto trying to get laid. I'm glad all the stuff between Setsuko and Mario seems to be over. I think he should leave her alone and just move on, and it looks like he has. Joe's story is quite interesting... |
 |
| Baremoto was pretty funny this episode xD Sad that Joe is always being used =/ that mercury scene was pretty scary too. |
 |
| Jesus Christ, where are you even finding these episodes subbed if they even are available subbed yet. |

|
| I'm guessing Funimation.com is US-only? Since it takes me to http://www.navarre.com/funimation/ And yeah, that doesn't feel like the right one. |
