Yup, the fated encounter. Lol @ Himeko running away...while Ryouta meets that fat guy with his pants caught down literally.

Also some more violent scenes this episode with people being thrown out from the air. The ending seemed wow though...all that blood. I wonder who that kid is at the end. He seems like some dangerous player.

The anime is starting to get decent. Still third least enjoyable anime this season on my watched list (only Sakurasu pet or whatever and Chunnibyou or more of the least enjoyable for me). Somehow it feels as if there was some missing development between episode 1 and episode 3 as Sakamoto seems well more competent now. All his faces really got to me and just his confidence and expressions. Whole scene after the revelation of his outburst on the plane and then the debating and testing teaming up with Taira. I think Taira will die though, unappealing design and he's just there. Which I hope we get the bloody kid there to team up with Sakamoto instead.

Very good episode. I wonder if anyone else will join his party and whether or not he;ll start killing more people. I really hope so

The farting in the episode title was unexpected. lol

I glad to see that Ryota didn't take the whole being kidnapped thing lying down and had to be thrown out of the plane. I wouldn't like him as much if he was quivering like the rest of the people on the plane.

I know that she doesn't meet up with Ryota until later on, but I still would have liked to have seen a scene or two about her that doesn't involve running away.

Good episode.

Good episode, Oda being BA was awesome, hopefully they get to the part of the manga where he is shown more, seems that it really will be fast paced though, considering the amount of episodes.

oh hey a crazy kid. I guess we didn't get the girl yet, but we got the old fat guy who was caught with his pants down. I guess getting shocked messed his memory up.

he's not too bad of a main character.

stick people on an island and they will end up killing each other in no time.

I suppose it is fast paced compared to the manga, but they said their were 30 some people on the plane. Is this really going to end in only 12 episodes? Why in the world didn't they make this a 24-26 episode anime? Seems like it is plenty popular for one.

It was good and nice to see a little more game action, though it was brief. That kid is definitely bad news and the fat guy seems like one of those characters that would double cross in an instant if it was to his benefit. Real estate salesman are good at telling people what they want to hear, after all. No way I would've trusted him with my life after hearing his job, especially not knowing him at all in the first place. Gotta play the odds there. No offense to salesman of course, but these are extreme situations.

Anyway, can't wait for next episode.

Haha, damn, that would be a awesome direction to take. If the MC went Light Yagami on everyone :P. I just think the MC doesn't trust the old guy. Like I said before, it seems the old guy is just good at telling people what they want to hear. I don't trust him already and maybe the MC doesn't either.

Yes I was surprised too when finding out that this will be 12 episodes only. I haven't read the manga and I am kind of interested to see how they gonna end this show with only 12 eps. Maybe, it will ended before they get out from the island? Oh, and the manga hasn't ended, has it? Ah, can't wait for next episodes. Too much curiosity.

I agree that old guy will backstab MC while that kid is just simply insane. His insanity, somehow, will help MC. Just some wild guessing~
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live.

Hmm, yeah maybe the anime won't end and they are hoping for enough popularity to continue the anime after the first 12. It just seems like it is going to be hard to end it in only 12 episodes to me.

So 50% of gamers are hardcore killers which kill without second thought when told there's no other way by their kidnappers. Damn, I really gotta stop playing video games.

It's not that I don't like this show, but really, logic behind it makes me sick. I know it's based off of something, but that still doesn't make it any better in my eyes.

I do like the show though, it's interesting but I really hate the addition of kids. Not that I hate kids in anime, I just hate that 90% of their stuff is censored, so the impact their deaths or suffering is supposed to bring just doesn't exist.

First of all...don't worry that kid doesn't act like a kid one bit, he's more of an adult than a lot of adult out there, though he is crazy as well lol XD

And second...I don't know if this is considered a spoiler but just so u know, not all the people on this island are gamers...a lot of them were chosen by their family or people that have a grudge against them because they did something. Just like Himiko's friends chose her to disappear...other chose people they hate to disappear, if u get what I mean.

A solid episode, the fat guy was an interesting character, and Sakamoto finally started using his head. I don't think I will like the next episode because of the kid. I hate when that kind of story goes for the coolest path instead of the most realistic one.

Story seems to be going really fast with all the characters they're introducing, well I guess it's because there is only 12 ep's. That first encounter with Taira is funny, taking a crap and then stepping on it XD

Preview for the next ep, that kid is completely out of his mind. Can't wait to see some more battle's with bombs. ^_^

Episode was a little too slow for my liking but fine nonetheless. Ryota meeting other players and Kosuke(hehehe). Was a little confused at Ryota saying his new partner was "so clever" just because of hiding the trump card. I felt like he was exonerating him more than he should have. It's smart but he's not Einstein >.>

Totally agree with you. I thought the episode was a bit monotonous. And there were about 30 people on the plane right? How are they even going to cover all of them in 12 episodes? Or they even going to do that?
Anyways looking forward to the next episode with more of that psycho kid.

oh wow. This episode was actually good. Fat guy was pretty cool, but i still remain suspicious of him.

4.5/5

Seeing as how the fat guy said that there was around 30 or so competitors that were in the plane, there can only be 4 survivors at most by the end :/ So Sakamoto, Himiko, and two others?

There might be other ways of the island. But if they want to show them getting off the island they'll have to go for a anime original ending seeing as the manga isn't even that far.

Good episode...finally got some info on what actually happened on the plane, etc.

Didn't think the girl would escape and disappear so easily.
He's got his first member of his team.
Guessing the guy who planted bomb as a trap will be main enemy?

And we have some crazy kid at the end~

Getting more interesting...but think I'll go start the manga~
