| I love this episode~ tho Lucy is so lovely, I'm on the Atsushi X Kyouka ship alright xD and hyping for the alliance yay!! |
 |
| One of the better episodes this season. |
| can someone explain to me what the quote "the head may err, but never the blood" means here? i kinda get the idea, but not really so an explanation would be appreciated |
| It was a bit predictable that Atsushi was going toe escape, but as usual the animations were amazing. Dazai :) |
| What...? another whale? i thought that crap ended with ReZero (yeah, not a fan of that show) but still episode was pretty good episode :) |
| "It was a wonderful episode, but there was one flaw". How could Dazai escape from the car accident not explained (or not yet explained). Btw this episode is 4.6/5 |

 |
| The episode was a bit rushed, but well, it's not like I didn't expected that or anything, and, tbh, I loved it. Glad to see Lucy (AKA best girl) animated again. I expected the scene involving her helping Atsushi to escape and it didn't dissapointed me at all despite they removed some dialogue. I have to say it bothered me a bit they didn't put her brackets unlike in the manga. I mean, it's an small detail, but I absolutely loved them, it gave Lucy's design something more... unique and adorably weird at the same time. Kinda sad too we wouldn't probably see her putting those insane rape faces again :´( Mark Twain was awesome. He is easily another fav of mine (well, the Guild in general is great) and the battle against Atsushi was cool. Curious how Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are voiced by different voice actors than the ones of Twain, since while reading the manga I thought they would had the same voice as him (since they are in a sense part of him and that). Sad they didn't portrayed Dogra Magra's effect on Yokohama like in the manga. Here things were portrayed much, much worse (even Kunikida was affected). And we also have Moby Dick too (seeing Melville reminded me of how sad his backstory is, poor man :`( ). Screw the alliance with the mafia, someone needs to call Subaru ASAP and he will end this in a few hours :P Being Kyoka is suffering.... Good to see Atsushi finally accepting the tiger (AKA his power and will) and deciding to do something instead of loathing himself. Great scene at the end when he says to Dazai the quote of the actual Atsushi Nakajima of the real world. Next episode will be fucking lit. Btw, so fucking glad they animated the scene when Lovecraft destroys that little shit of Q very well. I mean, they even added the sausage dog scene! God bless you all, Bones.  This smile needs to be protected at all cost. Lovecraft's too pure for this world. |

| @illyricus I think they can re-insert the kunikida part cause dazai mentions it to chuuya in chapter 31 . Just like they re-inserted Kouyou's warning about kyouka in this episode instead of ep 7 . Next episode should be almost full adaptation without omitting anything cause it's 2 chapters . most stuff omitted are comedic stuff since this arc began , but i'm glad they're at least keeping the lovecraft funny stuff. Realize he was back at the cabine and still thinking and trying to make the dachshund lmao that was not in the manga i think I didn't notice the lucy braces not being animated before now lol i also realized in ep 12, there were instances where they didn't draw the braces too, but here they weren't at all ... |

Tsukizono said: LUCY IS SO BEAUTIFUL. AtsuLucy OTP IS HERE YAY! My thoughts exactly, ever since the end of S1 I wanted something between them but I dismissed the possibility when she disappeared and didn't reappear early in this season. I mean I'm perfectly fine with Atsushi x Kyouko but I find that AtsuLucy is so much more genuine for me, and as a character I liked Lucy more. I'm worried though because since I'm an anime only watcher for this series, I have no clue if she'll make it out of this alive T^T Well that'll change soon enough, I'll pick up Bungou again in the next few days |

| Definitely a fun a thrilling episode, but I had so much problems with this episode. I actually paused 15 minutes in was struggling to finish it. It just the episode felt awkward in a way. Both pacing and how it kept jumping from scene to scene as if it was in a hurry. Plus some characters motivation make no senses. Some characters were introduced last episode, and are already playing a major role. Idk it feels like everything happened too fast. There was also this odd sense that some of the characters made no sense or were just devoid of logic. While fun, I think this episode was a train wreck. |
| Loved this episode, and I love that Atsushi is finally believing in himself! I think Kyouka will join the Guild and fight Atsushi in the end, she didn't want anymore light in her life and the Guild is basically darkness.Gin is adorable, I kind of fell for her in episode 7 when she talked for the first time, I hope we get more of her. I want more Akiko and Kenji DAMMIT. The lack of the other Agency members is bumming me out! |

| The Guild Arc has been a bit underwhelming for me so far. Hopefully we see more intense battles between the three organizations |
 |
| This episode is pure damn epicness! So the Special Gifted Guild is truly strong Atsushi plans to get alliance with Port Mafia!? Well, look at what happened to the mind control kid, totally lost against one of the members of the Special Gifted Guild! Good to see Lucy back and helped Atsushi escaped from Moby Dick! Yokohama burns but Atsushi saved it with the appearance none other than DAZAI!!! 5/5! |
 |
| The uselessness of Atsushi is getting really tiresome... yeah, he will blow everyone out of the water at some point, but it sucks to see him mess things up, get beat up all the time, get captured, etc. Sakunosuke was much more fun... (o.o) |
 |
| Mark Twain's my new favorite for now. Atsushi has been put in the hall of fame. No, actually they're both my favorite. I'm glad Lucy helped Atsushi out. Also, Tom and Huck are fucking cute. |
| 臭い- |
| a lot happened this episode, and the guild shows the lengths they will go to succeed. |
| This is definitely one of the best animes this year! Atsushi's power is so op, can't wait to see him full berserk xD Dazai always comes at a right time and the right place. I don't know what power Lovecraft has but damn... that kid thought that he was scary xD Can't wait to see the ending of this season, it will be so epic!!! And btw, Atsushi's plan to become allies of Port's Mafia is their only way to win. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| OMG An alliance has been formed. >.< I'am getting hype guys I can't wait to see the two rivals working each other to fight that guild :3 |
 |
| The pacing is waaay to fast. Otherwise a great episode after a while. 5/5 |
| The apocalypse is coming. |
| Aw yeah Dazai-san to the rescue!! And a reappearance of Lucy and my beloved Kana! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Kyouka was able to save the day, but then it was ruined the moment she killed the police. I am loving the Guild guys, this season is amazing! |
 |
| I knew he'd say Port Mafia huehuehue C: I wanna know more about Lovecraft's ability o.o |

Tsukizono said: I noticed something: In the manga it was Lucy who gave Atsushi the idea for the alliance, but it was removed in the anime: Also they deleted the Tachihara baby scene too. wow really? gotta make the MC even more ebic than usual. ------ lucy fits atsushi better. she's more mature and they share the same pain. but the plot is pushing kyouka and him together no matter what, i see. i was actually a little surprised that the whole "burn japan" idea went through since this story is massively deus ex machina. but this story had it so heavily that a million people could die and it would legitimately have no impact on the story at all. |
 |
| Things happened too fast. I don’t understand how they were knowledgeable about the kids abilities. I’m still looking forward to this future alliance. |
 |
| things going by too fast in this episode, i'm not all too clear in what's happening other than atsushi is kidnapped, kyouka is pretty sad, they need a book, and they tried to burn own yokohama |
| Atsushi x Lucy is strong. Good episode. I think that Atsushi have more personality in this season. |
| 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. |
velvetprayer said: Agreed! Lucy was amazing here, I was blown away. :) The conversation between Q and Steinbeck was depressing. Both of them are victims of their own circumstances. "God exists. But He doesn't love you." was a really realistic point of view. I gasped at the title of next week's episode. SOUKOKU IS FINALLY HERE AAAAAAAAHHH!! Agreed, dunno if they will try to build some romance there in the future or not, but I wouldnt mind at all, this girl has some potential to be a really interesting character. Great episode overall, I only felt that dude with the cannon shooting from the whale, I felt that scene was kinda underhelming and retarded tbh. Looking forward to see how the alliance goes, also what happened to Kyouka? |

| Kyoka rescued Atsushi from Francis, but in their escape, they had an incident with some police officers, Francis appeared again with the help of two members of Guild, Mark that immobilized them and Herman that summoned Moby-Dick (aircraft), Francis took Atsushi with him. Q found Lovecraft, and after trying to control him, Lovecraft unleashed his powers, defeating the kid, John immobilized Q and united their powers to use it at a greater scale. Francis visited Nathanael in the hospital and revealed him that Margaret is really bad, Nathanael quit from Guild. Francis questioned Atsushi about a special book he's looking for (Lucy appeared as a waitress) and threatened him with using Q's ability at a great scale, but Atsushi doesn't know about it, he got jailed and Q's ability got unleashed. Lucy visited Atsushi and helped him escape with a parachute and the doll, in his freefall Mark tried to stop him, but failed. Atsushi could see Port Mafia dealing with the situation and found Dazai, who stopped the hole power, Atsushi confessed that they need to join with Port Mafia to finish with Guild. Lot of things happened in this episode, when I thought that Kyoka could be more relevant, they spit in my face, well. It was a well dona plan the one with Q, how was it possible not to affect Lovecraft, maybe he's special or attacked first. Margaret is not going to wake up, what a mess, Port Mafia really hurted them in this side. Maybe, Atsushi's idea is not that bad. |

| Dear god, how can this be so terrible |
 |
| Interesting episode, really fast-paced. Wonder if Lucy will reappear in later episodes. |
  Floating Around... "You're loved as deeply as the ocean reaches"  |
| I just realized that nearly every character (except a few minor characters) of the show is named after writers. The Armed Agency and Port Mafia guys are named after Japanese authors, nearly all of them classical authors from the pre-WW2 and Meiji Period (late 19th century - early 20th century). I already knew that the Guild members were named after authors (mostly Americans, but also some British ones, a Russian etc) but I had to look up the Japanese authors. It also appears that the authors were not chosen at random either. The Guild members share some traits with the authors they are named after and/or their works, so the same almost certainly applies to the Japanese characters/authors as well, but I am not familiar with any of these Japanese authors to say for sure.. A few episodes back I wondered why the Agency and the Port Mafia did not form a (temporary) alliance against their common foreign enemy, per the "The enemy of my enemy is my friend (until he isn't)" adage. It appears that's the direction they are going to take from the next episode. I'm sure they are going to have a lot of awkward fun battling the Guild together like comrades! ^.^ |

| Omg it felt like so many things happened this episode, that was insane!!!!! I loved Atsushi’s moment with the Tiger 月下獣, that was haunting & beautiful. And we got like 2 secs of Chuuya. I’ll take that 2secs. Need!!!! More!!!! Chuuuuuuyaaaaa!!!!! I really like Lucy too, hope to see more of her again♡ Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck & this rendition of Mark Twain, fucking loved it. Love those takes on their abilities &.......this Mark Twain is too cute ♡____♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Poor Kyouka, always getting the short end of the stick. Wonder what she meant by "stop showing me the light". That ending was sooooo hypeee. Everything from Dazai coming to the rescue and having that planned, to Atsushi suggesting an alliance between those 2. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Hmm interesting. Moby Dick is interesting ability and that plan was almost perfect but Atsushi and Dazai saved the city. That Lovercraft or whatever guy looks pretty strong i wanna see his full power. |
| Sorry for my english xD! RIP Kentaro Miura :( RIP Akira Toriyama :(  |
ireallywantcake said: I noticed something: In the manga it was Lucy who gave Atsushi the idea for the alliance, but it was removed in the anime: Also they deleted the Tachihara baby scene too. Now that really sucks it was cut out. |
| Lucy still like a Lucy. Atsushi escaped from The Guild now. Thought his plan to teamate with Mafia will be happened soon. |
| Liked the plot up to this point so far. Looking forward to seeing how the rest plays out. |

| Damn mixing the seed's power with Q's one is true hell especially how it works and a lot of people became crazy, at least now Atsushi is out with Dazai and they're planning to make an alliance with the mafia to save the city? :o interesting |
 |
| Oh wait, so the real battles between the executives start from the next episode? Hell yeah! |
