| Nice. Zwei's hidden power came out again. That bitch captain got stabbed in the hand. Lol That scythe doctor rubbed Ein's body! I didn't quite get what he said back there to Ein. Kill Zwei and turn him into a masterpiece? How will Zwei turn into a masterpiece if he's already dead? O.o Zwei finally become a full time assasin. He's like a ghoul form of Tsukune from Rosario+Vampire. :D and wtf! I think Claudia knows Zwei before he become an assassin. |
| the master rubbing lotion was just creepy xD like the episode, animes is pretty good so far |
| I hate that scene where Scythe rubs Ein's body. It was good episode. |
| Ein basically used Zwei's fear of death to give birth to the dormant monster within! |
japanme32 said: Cheesyhoboe said: Scythe Master considers Ein as a prized possession and an extension of his gun collection; just as he would polish his most prized guns to preserve their beauty, he does the same to Ein by rubbing lotion on her and making sure her beauty is preserved. So no, he's definitely not right in the head. Still what was lotion???? Why rub her??? Dr think she is like gun so he polish her? Not right in head 100%. That bothered me and wonder who else is??? This bothered me as well, as good as this show is starting out, somethings can just be left out... i mean besides making some people want to tear their eyes out i didn't really see how it added to the story at all... i'm fairly sure people knew Scythe Master was a freak; was this just to confirm it? well in any case solid episode aside from that scene, hopefully there aren't to many of those kinds of scenes going foward. |
 |
| WTF did Ein do to Zwei? His eyes in kill-mode are awesome!! Me thinks Scythe Master is using Ein as more than just an assassin! Watching him rub oil on her body was like watching a child being molested by a creepy old man. |
 |
| I hate it more that Zwei obediently follows Inferno then that he doesn't like to kill. I want him to say fuck Inferno and kill Ein, Sythe Master all those people then to obediently kill for them or die trying don't listen to people who ruined ur life |
| Da Masta got some wierd fetish there. |
 |
| Me watch end so Zwei kill everyone Evangelion ending. |

 |
| The fight between Zwei and that guy was ridiculous. |
 |
| really nice episode, love the music in this one just send's chills down your spine, or at least for me. Yeah the scene with the Scythe Master was really unexpected but I got what the meaning was just was really weird :/ but its quite clear that he is just tapped in the head..... I am strangely attracted to Zwei. |
| Best episode so far. 4/5 |
  |
| I got shivers this episode. This anime portrays the emotion so perfectly, it's as if you are the one being trained to kill. I can support that argument even further with the examples of the last 2 episodes' training. I feel as if they're teaching us for when we'll need it. Also, if this is just the intro, I wonder what the remaining 20+ episodes will contain. Still waiting on the younger blonde girl as well, maybe she'll relieve the tense mood a bit ^^ (not that I don't love it though). 5/5 |

| I thought the navy seals guy would start running into the desert for 10 minutes not hide in the warehouse lol. |

chicanerous said: Wow, that's a really good analysis of the Zwei's "death" scene. It made the show even better. I like the attention you paid to not only the psychological significance, but also the camera work and the director's choice of the setting. If anyone still isn't interested in this anime yet, I think this might help them appreciate the anime more. This episode was definitely a turning point in Zwei's characterization, he's fully become an assassin. I like how there were few flashbacks regarding what Ein taught Zwei during his training too, it shows that he really did learn a lot from Ein (since it kind of seemed like he finished his training all of the sudden, at least to me. But then again, anime vs real life time is obviously very different. I wonder how long he trained for?) |
| Ehh, I already hate that Scythe, I'm sure he abuse her sexually that fucker... Zwei as now completed is training, but even after this training, I'm still not sure. He doesn't have the mind of a killer, he just have a strong instinct. I don't think that in long term, he can stay loyal. I wonder who was that guy the blond girl dreamed of, maybe another executor? I'm looking forward for this serie, but again, I hate that ED song -.- |

| Nice development, the training sure ended quite fast, but well I'm sure we'll see some interesting action next! |

 |
| I hate Scythe. (O_O ) Zwei seems like a potential badass at this moment. |
 |
| wtf was he rubbing her with dam that was creepy kind of made me mad them eyes that they have are crazy kool looking well we all knew he wasn't going to die I was half expexting them to run away overall good episode nice pacing |
 |
| Omg, please kill Scythe... |
 |
| A decent episode I think.. Somehow I still don't find myself really enjoying this anime. Or at least it makes me feel little uneasy and almost every character annoy me - including Ein which makes watching this series little hard. I hope that I'll start to enjoy this more soon cause this is something that I should like. |

Positiveputty said: chicanerous said: As for the lotion, the gun comparison someone made above is a good one. seems like the best explanation for the lotion deal. Was that really lotion, or was it actual gun oil? |
| "I'm a middle schooler bartender!" - Mishima Hitomi |
| Ah yes, the inevitable sexual scene between Scythe and Eins has arrived as expected. On the good news, that gun comparison does sound like a pretty good explanation of why he was rubbing lotion on her so we could assume it just ended at that. I still can't stand how easy it's been for Zwei to get manipulated. Yea you killed a person but he clearly gave you no choice since the asshole tried to trick you, beat you to teach you how it's done and was about to shoot you in the head. Rather than moping around, why not try to think of a way to get out of this situation before they start sending you on assassinations like they do with Eins? I also find his black eyes "mode" a bit odd since it seems more like a power than just extreme instincts like Eins has. Just not sure yet if this anime is going to be "realistic" like Black Lagoon or have characters with abilities like Darker than Black. Probably just a main character thing lol. |
 |
| Too early to tell but....really not feeling a draw to keep going. |
| Well Mr. Scythe is one sick freak isn't he? And "Zwei" finally broke. |
 |
| (rewatching) Zwei missed... twice. One that tells a lie will tell another. "I'm unarmed"... nope. Tell us more about your "brother." |

| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Ehh, I don't like the sudden change of Zwei in the end. If he turns into a mindless killer I will drop the show. I was hoping for Zwei to still contain his emotions and see how it affects him while working for Inferno/plotting his escape. It would be turn into a good psychological story. |
 |
| What a depressing episode I don't recommend it for someone whose in bad mood. |
| Really good episode and much more engaging than the first two imo. While it's reminded me of Noir (which I just finished recently), I have to say that I think I like this more in terms of writing, animation and execution (even tho they have similar directing due to the director being the same), which is interesting since I liked the ideas in Noir more to extent. 4/5 |
 |
| Scythe Master is one twisted deviant. No idea how Zwei is scared of killing people when that bastard is in the same scene; you'd have an itchy trigger finger if anything. The Navy Seal guy harps on "cowards afraid to pull the trigger", then is...too afraid to pull the trigger...so he inflicts some half-assed torture and then just gloats and presses the gun against Zwei's head for like five seconds until Zwei kills him. Maybe he was talking about himself. |
