Alka vs wolves? Eh...

Pretty rough episode for her to live in fear and shit. The fact that she has that tattoo constantly makes her a target like in this episode, sigh. [d]Damn, watching this episode made me feel cold. Anyways, still the same usual stuff except the ending.

What are the chances of Alka stumbling upon one of her victim's parents?
I hope Karen truly realized that revenge really is pointless.
Hana was such a great person, I knew she was too good to remain alive.
That was one step closer to becoming a human, Alka still needs to shoulder a lot of pain.
I hope Ran isn't trying to resurrect Jin Varel, but unfortunately that seems to be the case.

All of Aruka's memories of the people she has killed in the past are clashing against her.
Looks like the two servants of Jin Varel are trying to do some ritual or revival thing to bring Jin Varel back.
Didn't expect that ending with both the couple dying though that was pretty sad.

With Jin Varel coming back from the dead I wonder how they're going to finish off the anime in 2 episodes.

Or are they gonna leave it on a cliffhanger and expect us to believe a 2nd season is on its way?
Wouldn't there be 3 episodes left?

Anyway, I liked this episode but it could have been better. Alka always managing to get her self into bad situations :c

Karen says, "Revenge really is pointless..." while relaxing with her husband's remains by her side. XD
Though she later burns everything that's related to him. I wonder if she's coming back to her senses..
How come neither Hazuki and Roana say anything about the smoke? It must've smelled bad too!

Felt a bit bad for the couple since they lost their daughter to Aruka and now can't really avenge her death by attacking her in an injured state.

What a tragic ending that was.. More suffering for Aruka.

Looks like Ran is in process of reviving Jin. Expecting her to come back stronger.

Good episode. That white-haired philosophical guy needs to appear again.

you what's wrong with this episode it was good but the set up was bad in short time about what 3 to 4 episode including this to make her feel guilt i wish they just took there time. what are the chances of meeting the parents of someone you have killed and before she meet the wife of someone she killed i tell you the setup was bad.
and i think everyone here said (get out of there Alka you gonna get them killed) and sure enough

Oh god. ONE EPISODE. Can't be there a single episode where someone doesn't die, please? I really wanted that woman to live. Getting killed by own husband accidentaly...

Karen still seems to be the most interesting character of this show. Death episode prediction: 13.

To be honest... side characters feel way more natural / real than main ones. That man who wanted to shoot Alka for example was well 'made'. Alka's transformation is rushed and doesn't feel real AT ALL. Actually... 85% of this show doesn't feel 'real' at all.

I thought that Alka would kill herself during last episode. If not then and now... maybe in the last episode? I doubt that but we'll see.


Do we have a list of side characters' voice actors?

The first 6 episodes were pretty pointless, i wish the anime started out like this to give it more time. If we had 4 episodes with these characters we would have all been crying that they both died. But not we get half an episode of them and they die.

That part was actually powerful, his wife was talking to him about revenge and how it is wrong. Karen even said that revenge is not worth it. Yet the husband wanted to avenge for his daughter, he failed to take heed to his wife's advice and plea...and he got what normally happens to people who seek revenge. Alka is getting the full front of suffering from all the things she has done.


I got the point about the whole "revenge is not worth it" a gazillion episodes ago. Where are they going with this really?

I just met you 15 seconds ago, but I love you. We're both lonely waitresses, let's be soul sisters for life. You murdered my daughter -- here's a matching bracelet for the both of us. At this point, I'm watching just to say I finished it. I'm hoping the series ends in season one. They completely butchered the original story for the computer game at this point. Screw Alka and her Clan of the Smores.

And she killed so many people that anywhere she goes she runs into the victims' families, and yet the montage shows only four or five people we know. I guess she doesn't remember the other million she killed.

People are really hard to please. Before a lot of people were like "Give Alka some personalities, damn it!!" and now she actually has one there's still someone complaining.

Is it really that hard to see that this anime was always about Alka being more human? I realized this since episode 4 already. Actually reading some of the comments here made me face-palmed, it's like they don't even try to look at the bigger context and don't have enough patience for the story to play out.

The evolving nature of his subjects, starting with Alka I'm liking, nothing great at the end, but the plot and narrative have become less dull beginning; who expected it.

Dear god did the guy that shot his wife get to me.

Seriously, when he shot her, I literally shouted at the screen " ASHOLLE....YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU FREAKING ASH HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE!"

Ok, I didn't actually self censor myelf, and I said exactly what you think I said, I just don't want to lose my MAL account.

Is author trying to make me feel sorry for Alka?

I mean, she killed dozens upon dozens upon dozens of people, most of them being guilty of something and well, I don't hate her for that. Even proprietress' husband was probably guilty of stepping on someones heel.
But the person she killed here (in past) was almost a child. I get assassins do what they're hired for, but am I supposed to feel sorry when child murderer gets all emo over his/her past?

I can't do that. Hell, at this point they've shown 2 of her past crimes, one being a guy that tried to run away with a woman he loves and another being young girl living with her parents, killed for God knows what reason.
After all is said and done all I want is to see Alka suffer more. Much more.

Let the bjatch suffer, everyone else did, why would she be an exception.

lol ok, this series is now officially hilarious.

It's really trying to come off as dark and edgy by suddenly killing people but it's happened so often now that I'd be shocked if someone didn't die in an episode. Plus they only ever kill redshirts that were introduced that episode, I feel nothing for these people.

I like that they're actually making Alka think about her past actions and the effect they had on people but everyone else are just sacks of meat that we're supposed to feel sorry for and be shocked at when they die.

I immediately knew as soon as that guy started feeling hatred towards Alka, he was gonna shoot her, miss, and hit his wife by accident. It's like whoever Alka follows, dies. Not to forget the ridiculous amounts of inhaling and exhaling this episode.

Talk about a strange twist of fate.
I can see why revenge is pointless. Husband attempts to get revenge by taking Alka's life, but ends up killing his own wife instead. Poor Hana...

I'm not to sure about what's going on in Karen's head. I'm don't think Karen's too sure either.

Alka doesn't even have to try to kill people. Just meeting them is enough. They kill themselves. Certainly the most skilled assassin of all time, lol.

No the big problem here is that it makes no sense for anyone to hire a murderer and a especially i high skilled one like her for killing such a child of such peaceful folks. Seriously who wants such a child dead?It seemed more like a bad excuse so they can make another dramatic episode.
On the other hand i enjoy such episodes and they seem better for this show that the previous action ones.
