RepeatDisc said: Kuniko getting to show up Rena was satisfying. Glad they didn't take that away to try and make Kuniko some sort of perfect character. However, Rena's attitude getting turned around by Tomoka's story was way too quick and I must have missed the part where the story even matters to Rena. Rena was already pissed off about Kuniko taking others' punishments, how the hell was that supposed to sedate her? Ah, whatever, episode 8 can't come fast enough. Well, I think the reason Rena didn't want to acknowledge Kuniko's kindheart for saving her ass because she thought Kuniko just wants to show off. And Rena should be the type who thinks of herself as "there is no one who is better than me" and she might have though that she could do it too. But after hearing Tomoka's story, would she want to live in a prison for 2 years for something she never done? And Kuniko done it just for a friend. Well I don't know about you if you think of a prison as a free 3 meals a day and peaceful place. |

| That was a good episode, nice intro to the next one which should be great. |

| Finally, we have an interesting episode for once. It'll be good to see how this develops. |
 |
| Well, I pretty much enjoyed this episode. Soundtracks was great like always(damn, when OST of this is going to be released? ) and quite visually stunning. And damn, Kuniko is strong. Also didn't expect episode to end in such a way. Anyway, great episode imo. |
| Nice ep. It looked somehow different, maybe the story will begin and go somewhere from now on. Until now it's all been an annoying "yeah let's fight the system!" with anyone having a clue on what they were doing. I mean, the episode itself was average, but at least it seems to be setting something up. |

Jojo-kun said: First episode of Shangri-La that was a least "nice" True, this was the best episode so far, I hope it gets better after this. |
| The pace was kind of ridiculous. We meet Rena shoving Kuniko's face in the ground and in the next scene they're trying to build sympathy. Then by then end she's getting sentenced to execution? I don't really know. We got a sense of Kuniko's character (that we already knew for the most part) through the off-putting characterization of Tomoka. I can't help but ask why it was important to give her a story like this. It felt more necessary than natural, because it doesn't feel like she's important to the story at all. Oh wells. |
noteDhero said: Oh wells. Same here. The anime could pretty much begin on the 8th episode and nothing of value would be lost, except maybe the concept behind the carbon market. 17 to go. |
| @noteDhero: lol your demand is always high as usual. P.S. I missed your old sig and avatar >_< |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Ha...the pace was just so absurdly abrupt. I still like the idea of the show, but I still feel like we keep sidestepping the point of the whole show to explain something. I thought last week was going to be the jump off point, but now Kuniko's in jail, and I just don't really get why. I suck at making sigs, and it's hard for me to choose avatars. I might go back to George since I like him so much...and if I find a funnier Akira shot, then I'll choose that...you know, since the difference between Akira and Morita is barely anything except age and profession. |
| Hopefully she gets executed next episode and we get more hawt multi-colored eye girl. This show really is quite horrendous. Not my cup of tea, but i guess i'll finish it to get my aggregate score down. |
| go back to jail o_o |
     |
| Well Shinji group is the fastest one so far and the rest are pretty slow. |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| This episode was a cliche too many. The principal character is imprisoned and constantly mistreated. Cliche too many! |
 |
| I can't believe they actually killed those girls at the end. I think the director wanted to introduce us to the world of Shangri-La before going too deep into the story. It's important to know why this place is of an importance to the gov. and why are they forcing people to live under such poor conditions. The gov. is tryant and all it cares about is looking for another source of income and in the mean time, shangri- la is a spot with economic and strategic advantages but to people it's not something to milk and throw away after consuming. |

| Old ED was better =/ |
| That little fight scene in the prison was awesome. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| That was the best episode until now. Little bit of Hollywood style but it was good. Nazi suits huh. Someone has a strange sadistic taste. Let's see how Kuniko is gonna get out of this one. |
| Great episode, but end was completelly unexpected. 'I'm going to execute you' - did i heard it wrong or what? WTF? It can't be true... |
| Nice episode, kept me interested. |
 |
| Kuniko <3. Geez, wasted 2 years of her youth in that hellhole. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Surprise after surprise. Long live Kuniko. |
| That's right, prison sucks and the reality is there. Be a good boy/girl and you won't end up there. |
 |
| Wow that sure was totally different than any past episode but well it sure strengthens the character imo! Well things sure doesn't look good for her but let's see what's next! |
 |
| Lock me Kuniko out in the rain? No problem, she'll go play tag with the bomb shower! |

 |
| It was nice to go back to prison to see the atmosphere there, felt short but it was a good episode. An interesting cliffhanger. |

| Well the warden is really trying to get everyone to hate her huh? |
