| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Just when I thought the threat of those monsters would be gone, more trouble comes into town. Akane is also not going to school anymore. Gridman enters with its usual business. Two more episodes left...it's definitely heading into a climax. Hope the final two won't be rushed. |
 |
| Wow that ending. Akane getting redemption is looking more and more unlikely. |
| Anti become a hero for Gridman lol now Akane knows where Gridman is and wow she stabbed Yuta wtf |

| This show just keeps reminding me of the Big O , how the stability of the artificial world is linked to the stability of the mind of the semi-villainous secondary female main character. And holy shit the cliffhanger. |
 Utsumi is a man of culture |
| Tachikoma saves the day !!! |
Well spotted! That ending. I did not see that coming at all. |

| Damn, Akane gave up on using Kaiju and straight to the point and shanked Hibiki. Definitely came out of left field. Good episode. |
 |
| ANOTHER GREAT EPISODE. That ending left me wiith my jaw dropped. Can't wait for next week. |
 |
| When will someone fix voice actors? It is definitely Yuuki Aoi voicing Akane. |
 |
| Gridknight shined really brightly tonight, well done kid. What just happened do you stab everyone just normally like that? |
| I knew they were gonna do something cool like that with Anti, absolutely love it :D I'm really surprised they had the guts to actually do that ending, I was hoping for something like that but I didn't expect them to follow through with it |
   Why don’t we become monsters and really mess up this awful world? Just destroy until there’s no more evil, no more sadness, no more anything… Wouldn’t that be great? |

| This was so good, and the episode title was so fitting! Akane's world was collapsing, and she was in the pits. She was totally unmotivated, and she pretty much ran away from it all. I actually felt bad for that sorry creation that was beat in an instant, but inside of it was the scariest/strongest kaiju to date, her own heart! And the action was so good too! I loved her talk with Anti as well. At first, on that place she took him to eat before, she said that he was a kaiju, but now like Calibur and the others, she said that he is also human, he has eyes like one after all. But I do feel bad for him, being both and none at the same time. I think he was her greatest creation, but she still sees him as a failure. He was the one capable of understanding her, and of defeating that kaiju when he became Gridman 2.0 though. And the way Utsumi was way more bothered than Rikka and Yuuta with the possibility of their whole lives and memories being 'false' and created by Akane was nice too. And as expected Gridman and his four allies are outsiders in Akane's world, that's why they can raise to fight her, they might even be a single being, but welp. She totally stabbed Yuuta, didn't she? I wonder what's going to happen now that she learned about Junk, I'm really excited for the rest! |
 |
| I'm sounding like a broken record, but it just keeps getting better. |
| its absolutely true that monsters are born to get killed by heroes for justice. poor akane kun. but i wanna say its a foul play to attack the human. this is the battle between monsters and gridman! |

| Jesus effing Christ, that cliffhanger D: That... "Vagina" Kaiju was really weird. And seems like Anti knows his role now. What will happen from now on? |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| So many eva references today... Good lord!, didn't see that coming, what a cliffhanger. |
 |
| Really nice bulid up with Anti for that as Gridknight reveal... but yeh that ending... (O_O;) |
 |
| He wasn't really a good character and I kept feeling like I wanted him shanked, but now that it has actually happened I don't know how to feel. |
| shit how did i not realize she actually meant right next to her house ! i dont wanna get off this ride with another episode like this |
 |
| Amazing episode with a really surprisingly good cliffhanger. |
| That was pretty cool! Anti is now Gridknight. :o That caught me by surprise. The kaiju they fought in this episode was really strong and very agile but it was Gridknight who defeated it. Awesome! Damn that cliffhanger. :F I want the next episode already... D: |
| I've been thinking of Akane pulling the "And finally she just stabbed him" solution for like 3 episodes now. Never thought they'd really do it. Love this show. |
That cliffhanger though. Never let your guard down just because the enemy is someone you know and is a girl. Hibiki being too complacent (dense might be the correct description) and forgot that he's confronting an "enemy." |
 |
| I like the fact that they made a reference to Evangelion, when the Kaiju is crushing and throwing every piece of gridman in the air |
| Damn, what a way to end an episode. Akane did nothing wrong, tho ;_; |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| lmao Akane stabbed Yuta. I admit she'd caught me off-guard. Also, the shop is right next to her house. Now, it seems that Anti is a good guy. That Kaiju was very weird. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
footmaster said: That cliffhanger though. Never let your guard down just because the enemy is someone you know and is a girl. Hibiki being too complacent (dense might be the correct description) and forgot that he's confronting an "enemy." I will however justify Hibiki's naivete / denseness in this one. the writers better give me a good justification on that stabbing or I will call this bad writing. because that one completely came out of the left field and its very much out of Akane's character. |

| wait, Akane was their neighbor? She was literally a few steps away? I only realized that now and wow, go Gridknight! |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| Since the moment that Kaiju showed up i knew Gridman was going to lose, but didn't expect Anti to become an ally yet and totally didn't expect his transformation, that combat was so good, and the call back to episode 2 (i think) with Gridkinght looking down on the kaiju was perfect. Anti is such a Viral, but the way Gridknight poses reminds me of Lord Genome's Lazengann But damn, Akane really doesn't want to be saved. |
| Oakie doakie that qualified as a strange episode. |
| Gods don't know the pile up at their junkyard, eh? Akane is totally in for redemption. And finally Anti is not the one being bullied and is the knight in glazing armor. Damb it really felt bad when he was just tossed around all the time. Btw does anyone know the tune Rikka is listening to on her phone this episode? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I assume Hibiki will be alright and his memories will come back because of the shock xD |

No. No it didn't. She is completely broken at the moment. being "broken" is not a justification for murder. or even attempted murder. and even discounting that, Hibiki was never "bullying" Akane in any shape or form. He never triggered her like an easily triggered snowflake SJW NPC in any way. |

It's not though? Although now that you mention it, she does sound like Aoi Yuuki at times. |

| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
