First gonna say, i hope that we will still get some good subs since Funi is stopping everyone :/

This episode was great. we finally got past the dragged out training and into the real action. There wasen't any plot development really but i think this episode was a great idea. Develop the relationship between the characters and let us see how they plan, and execute a mission. It didn't really have a dull moment in my opinion.

Also did anyone else realise that they told the lady that it was their day off from uni, but then told her they were just there on a trip when they saw her in the airport?

Great episode, one of the best I've seen this season apart from HnS. The relationship between Zwei and Ein and the killing scene from planning to execution were both awesome. The themes displayed in the episode were great too, so it was quite the achievement and finally something better than the last two episodes which were flashbacks. Really loved it.

That was a really entertaining episode. I really liked the chemistry, if you can call it that, between these two. Be it acting or not, heh. Looks like Ein is starting to see something or someone in Zwei. Looking forward to more. I really want to see these two go on a sort of rampage together later on.

Even though I really can't hurt a fly.. theres a feeling that I would be able to kill "zwei" to release him from his pain and torture.

anyways the series has its ups and downs and its hard to figure out its true worth..

Nice ep. and action scenes. But as Cheesyhoboe said, the assasination could have been animated better, now we know they are falling in love for each other, or at least Ein on Zwei. Those killer instinct eyes of Zwei freaked me out. The next ep will be good as hell.

yeah can't agree more,the episode was just awesome^^ i really like the action scenes.

This was a good episode. The best until now. The whole acting from Ein like she is some schoolgirl and suddenly change to killer mode was cool. The assassination plans and seeing something from Eins past was good. Even the relationship between Ein and Zwei had a nice development in this episode.
I must admit this is one of the best currently running shows.

Also thank you God for Ein swimsuit moment. I don't know why but when i get small moments like that in not ecchi, fanservise, harem, anime i love them a lot more. The girl certainly has a nice body on her. Lucky Zwei.

lol I was like "wth happened with her!?" when the ep began xD but well it was all cleared after a few mins

Though it surely surprised me, that she is that way, before that she seemed like she had no feelings at all, but now it's clear that she's still human...I think being afraid of those eyes isn't something special


me2 I was like wtf? loool. It was a good episode, Best one so far I was going to drop it but now im not :)
I really like the music in the show

Anyway, this was a good episode which did the visual novel justice... in fact, I'd say this actually improved on this particular part of the game, although the actual assassination could have been animated better. The BGM is still great, as usual. Now that the introduction sequence of Phantom is finally over, you'll be seeing a lot more character development, such as in this episode.

Very nice acting, lol. It sure fooled me. I was like "wtf is going on? This is a dream, I bet." Turned out to be an acting afterall.

Very nice character development aswell. Of course Zwei is going to be better than Ein because Zwei is a man. Man>Woman. :D

I like their couple aswell.
Ein turning into a cute girl sure turned me on. :D

awesome episode, it was nice to see Ein like that even if it was all a act, makes you wonder if she would have been something among those lines if her life had been normal.Also i wonder how good Zwei can really get because 2 years(how fast Ein did her training) to 3 months (if i remember correctly) i mean 8 times faster is alot.

WTH kind of assassins are Ein and Zwei? Aren't assassins supposed to be stealth and operate from the shadows? They're horrible assassins!!

And...Ein is afraid of something? Wow! Would've never guessed that she could feel any kind of emotion.

kinda confusing at the start but it all became clear after a while, loved the whole acting scene, they did make a cute little couple, Ein seems a little more vulnerable than before to me, not sure why.... Zwei however is just slowly turning into a bad ass, but yeah nice episode with some character development, no complaints from me!

Finally an episode I could really enjoy from top too bottom. Ein and Zwei are making an effective assasination squad and maybe developing affection for each other?

At the very beginning I was like.... Wtf is going on lol. That was amazingly, amazing; how the entire episode was handled all the way to the assassination scene. Also, Zwei is a confirmed bullet-timer too.

Some nice character/relationship development between Zwei and Ein as well.

5/5, for that acting! ;)

This series has started strong, now for the follow through.

Ein is really good at acting. Almost fooled me there at the beginning, except they're obviously still assassins. This episode answered my question from episode 3's discussion...wow, Zwei only trained for three months while it took Ein three years! What's more, Ein is scared of him (and his eyes). This is becoming more and more interesting. I loved the assassination scene, especially when Ein jumped onto the hood of the car. How badass. But she would've gotten hit if Zwei hadn't saved her :O He really has the potential to surpass her.

Zwei eyes did something weird during the pool scene. She also stopped questionning him immidiately when she noticed it. He seem to have weird power too.

She seemed grateful in some way that he saved her in the gunfight.

Ein is pretty good at acting :P

She seem afraid that she might be replaced. He's slowly losing all his emotion.

I agree.. Ein's acting was so good I thought she was being carried away

their masks looks similar to Hei's of DTB

Zwei is developing into something... strong.. I know there will be a time when hes gonna be uncontrollable and Inferno would regret it.
