| whoops. my mind tracked off during this episode. not a bad episode, but i missed the part where the Yakuza guy's Doll was the same one Hei's group was looking for. |
 |
| lol the doll come right to his place . |
 |
| Kenji is too pure for this shit |
| Huang : "What happened between those two? Guy : "It's best you don't know for your sake. Huang :"..." Guy : "I guess it can't be helped. I'll give you a hint" *Proceeds to give Huang the precise information needed to have an idea on the situation* LMAO! So far Kenji seems like a genuine guy, I hope nothing bad happens to him. |

| Boy Hei, you make the most interesting friends. |
 |
| episode was just ok - it's getting on my nerves when the main plot doesn't progress in any way. furthermore the story in itself isn't explained very well, we don't know anything about hei either yet. the informations are given way too late and once they are given it's still not satisfying because everything is explained too vague. why the hell is a gang appearing right now. it doesn't have anything to do with the main plot. and i just don't care what happens to one of their members. jesus..it started promising and right now it's just a steady drop in points/marks or whatever u want to rate this with. |
 |
| This kid is an idiot but at least Hei found the doll. |
 |
Leon-Gun said: It's kinda sad how people even despised this episode for going "off track" when they are providing us with more insight on Hei's character. So you'd rather this anime was just a simple revenge drive without developing Hei as a character? Tsk, I bet if they didn't develop Hei at all, everyone would be up in arms about how Hei is just a flat one-dimensional character with no personality. I agree. Actually, I enjoy the side episodes more than the main storyline.... |
 |
on 
| I like that we get to know other apartment mates and how they see him :) Used to live in dorm so I was curious about how he behaves and keep his secret around those people, considering they live in the same building and usually will visit from times to times or want to befriend and hang around him. It may be more difficult for Hei to keep his job secret if they are too close. Also so that was how doll is delivered... |
| Aaand we're off the mai story again, woohoo :< That new doll is creepy, and that Kenji guy seems pretty cool, hope he's not gonna die. |
  |
| I completely forgot about this part when I first watched it,this series sure loves to meander about. |
| Another odd tonal switch. I wasn't as drawn into this ep. I didn't really connect with Hei's new friend and wasn't as interested in the yakuza dynamics here. The doll was a surprise but I get the feeling their story will fall to run off and in love. |
  |
| 😂 talk about mouse running in to cats mouth 😂 hei's job/target came to him well this doesn't happen awry day 😂 |
| Hei looked cool while dodging punches early on while acting as a waiter. The episode overall had okay content and enjoyment value surrounding the doll and Kenji Sakurai's interactions with Li, but the change of pace after getting to know Amber and knowing more key details about the narrative while not adding much to the world building and real characterization of anyone feels off-putting to me. I get the idea in a sense since it reminds me of one of my favorite shows, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex where you have for different seasons, different kinds of episodes like for example, the first season is divided into Stand Alone episodes that focus on the world building and outside characterization through general missions and Complex episodes that focus on one long storyline that utilize the buildup of the Stand Alone ones too. But in this case, these missions recently that haven't focused on big characters or plot revelations (which aren't that big even so far), don't really offer anything insightful or interesting about the world. The writing while not boring and has its interesting moments, feels pretty hollow the more I watch the show and the lack of real connections between these missions together makes the whole show feel a bit disjointed. It takes forever for something to happen that feels fresh and when it does, we're plagued with another normal mission that doesn't do much, and it doesn't help that the characters outside Hei aren't that fascinating either in the grand scheme of things, especially when focused on just standard missions. Lack of charisma too ofc. |
| Mmmm.... that doll.. and gangsta guy.. and Israel otaku guy.. and Amber pretty gurl |
| Sakurai seems like a decent guy, at least as decent as someone in a criminal syndicate can be. I'm a little disappointed with how the story is progressing. Maybe this episode will tie in to the main story but I do wish shows wouldn't tease the main plot, only to return to one off episodic stories again. |
| So apparently Amber is the first contractor.... |
| Not that interesting of a premise. What's intriguing though is the beginning of this episode. But nonetheless, I still don't understand how Huang and Hei are back to being normal again, Mao did ask if Hei held back back then so he probably did which is great. Now, that ending song. Why is Yin there, same with Amber. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Amber is the first contractor :o Lol he brought the doll right to Hei xDD |
 |
| This has little to do with the previous episode, but it's a decent subplot on its own. I forsee the gangster kid getting himself killed over protecting the doll, but maybe they'll survive? |

| One of the better episode so far, probably the second best arc after the detective one. |
