One of the better eps in this adaptation thus far, presentation-wise at least. Like everyone says, they're clearly wanting to hit the Dove arc.

The animation is still quite good (when it's not being censored), though, and I even liked the added fight at the beginning. That led to them ending it with an odd cliffhanger, but most of us know the pacing issues.Good voice acting and music, though. DAT OST!

Hop aboard the feels train, everyone, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Coming from someone who hasn't read the manga, this anime is nothing short of a disappointment. They had plenty of events to work with in this episode, but the scenes are so poorly played out that any opportunity to enthrall the audience is turned to shit. Already half-way through (6/12) and it doesn't look promising, in fact it looks pretty bad.

Akame ga Kill has been hovering just above the mediocre line as well, but at least they play their cards right when shit happens and the characters are actually getting development early on giving an optimistic feel as far as what is to come.

I don't get why they didn't show the dads face. Also I don't understand why they can't just skip over the gore parts, and add them in on the blu ray. Seems like they're deliberately trying to shove it in my fucking face. I got over the black shit but then they just randomly added a white light coming from the window. I prefer it when they don't even try to explain the shadows and censorship.

I see, thanks. So, following that, was the falling of the i-beams really just an accident, or did someone actually kill Rize?


They mentioned in episode 4 that her death probably wasn't an accident. If you're asking for a more definite answer, here it is if you don't mind spoilers

The first spoiler was revealed last episode or 2 episodes ago. The 2nd one.........I shall send 8 assassin after you.

the reason why the father was never shown is because in manga he was already dead when hinami and her mom were introduced. you hardly can draw a face of somebody you dont know and try to characterize him, dont you?

well, i think the reason why they are censoring the gore is because otherwise a major part of the fanbase would complain about how the show butchered the gore scenes etc.
i think as it is now is okay. yes, i rather want it uncensored, but i also rather watch this than not having an anime of it at all, since this adaptation is even with the swapping of arcs and censoring still good.

After 200 anime this is the 1st that managed to get into my "Dropped" list. The censoring is stupid, ok I get it we need to skip the gore parts but I have no idea what the hell even happened before reading the comments...I was like "what now, is he split whole in half?Is his head missing? Is his arm missing? Is nothing missing at all?".

I guess this was also your very first Anime with gore scenes/themes? And It wasn't Stupid It was common on Anime like this.
It's a strategy. They do it in purpose so that the viewers of this Anime will buy the BluRay or DVD when it comes out and it will be uncensored.

I hope you were not too subtle for him.

The only reason to rush the hell out of a good manga is to get some cash fast for the next anime they'll make then eventually come with a "remake" when they feel like having enough money or lack of material to do. Or just create a movie based around things they skipped and relate them to the events of the anime serie.

Anyway , for me , so far the only anime I'm about to drop is Jinsei because of lack of translation and I lost the interest in it.

God damn it Hinami. Running off like that after your mother told you to fucking wait for her. And now she's going to die. Great job. It was pretty sad to see her father get killed like that though and that her mother is going to fall the same way after letting her live.

Damn it, they are not skipping an arc they just rearranged it. Maybe yes they did skip some scenes but just a few and altering or adding some scenes/details too.

The fight felt too short, and the censoring kinda ruined it, but it was a solid battle, nonetheless. It was a bit fast paced, but i kinda got used to it, because every episode has been like this. I felt a little sad for Nishio, but due to the fast pacing, i couldn't bond to him properly. The fight between Mado and Yakumo ( I couldn't remember the other guy's name) was amazing! The weapons Mado and the other guy I'm pretty sure are made of kagune, although, It's just a prediction. I'm watching only the anime, once it ends I'll continue with the manga. And the end... OH THE FEELS!

If I remember correctly, Hinami doesn't run off in the manga. I believe they run into Mado and Amon in the middle of the busy street.

As a manga reader this adaptation is still disappointing. Pierrot is turning a very good sienen series into more of a generic shounen.

I'll watch this until the end because its only 12 episodes and there are certain scenes I hope are animated.

But seriously, if anyone is thinking about reading the manga. Do it. I guarantee it is a lot better than this adaptation.

Awesome episode. Mind=blown. I thought this was going to be a meh episode rushed from the manga but nope! I was amazed. I'm going to re-watch everything in future when the BDs are out.

Touka vs Tsukiyama's fight was censored pretty badly but I'm not going to complain much though I definitely prefer the manga version.

Finally I get to see Touka's dere side! I'm glad that Perriot adapted this part well. :3

Rest of the episode before Hinami looking for her father was anime-original but it was refreshing to see this. They modified Investigator's arc in a nice way.

Holy shit!!! That bastard Jason, I got goosebumps seeing him fighting and imagining his fight with the MOST BA character!! :D

The episode which covered with familial relationship of Ghouls and Hinami's estranged relationship with her mother was heartwarming. Beautiful stuff. <3

Ryouko. ;_; Bye bye. :(

Hopefully they finish Investigator arc in next episode since it was not a powerful arc story wise when compared to fuckin awesome Aogiri Tree arc!

So yeah, they adapted and modified this part of manga good enough. I hope they give the last 5 episodes to Aogiri Tree else I'm gonna fuckin rage!!! >.<

Ok since there's stuff bothering me quite a lot, can someone explain this to me who has read the manga (I don't bother about spoilers) or at least tell me if it's gonna be explained:

1. Is the origin of the Ghouls explained? Where do they come from and why are they basically killing machines in human clothing?

2. If Ghouls can only eat human meat, exactly why is coffee ok? And can they eat animals? Like raw or even cooked cow? Touka was able to eat some fried chicken-y stuff, that's what got me wondering.
