I loved this episode as usual, it was good <3
I was concerned with the animation in this one, it looked flawed again. But not too much.
And all I can say about Akira telling Keisuke off pretty much... IT'S ABOUT TIME!! No offense to the Keisuke fans, but he really had to learn what Igura was about and it seems like Akira had gotten through to him. But also, I felt like crying when they were arguing, it seemed very emotional.
One of the other good things, I totally was not expecting Shiki to appear in this episode. But that one minute of screen time in Arbitro's castle was heavenly for me (Shikiti fangirl xD)

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EPISODE 6!

Go on, Akira. Keep treating Keisuke like you're treating him. You think you're doing what's best for him by calling him out like that while still ignoring the fact that he loves you. Keep going the way you're going. You'll fucking see what happens when you push someone as possessive as Keisuke
too far.

Arbitro's gonna rape errybody.

Wow..That fight scene was intense. I find Keisuke extremely annoying but Akira was really harsh on him.From what I could understand at least..
The episode was good.I still have some issues with the animation but comparing to the 1st episode there has been improvement.Anyway there is no way I'm dropping this because it IS TnC and I had been waiting for this so so long.

About the spoiler buttons.Does anyone else feel the urge to press them despite the fact that we do know that they contain new information??I mean I do know that what I'm gonna read is something that I don't know and might ruin the element of surprise when I watch the series, but still I cannot suppress the urge to click on them and read..

No way this is too harsh! I mean it's about time he understands that it's not a barbiexken game! He can't do anything, he's always getting himself where he shouldn't be, always causing trouble, and having Akira save him.He's aware he can not win against even one weak opponent, but still he registered. Akira will always be there to help princess Keisuke ARGH!...It's annoying and troublesome. And I totally dislike him, so I really liked the 'arguing' moment ^^ Serves him right, he deserves it. Besides he's dull and no matter what you tell him, he doesn't understand, unless you use the hard way!

I didn't enjoy this ep like the previous 4... slow plot, mostly talks and no action...totally different from the others where everyone's on the move all the time and stuff ;p

Is it me or is there always a lot of licking, blood licking or otherwise XD.

Anyway, this was an ok episode. I thought the argument was bound to happen sometime, but it was really stupid on Akira's part. Keisuke's so fragile minded, I don't think shouting at him is going to do any good. He's more likely to do something stupid now.

Anyway, Arbitro continues to be disturbing, Shiki continues to be gorgeous, and Gunji continues to be awesome.

Keisuke is VERY aware that he isn't meant to be in Igura and that he's weak, he even trembled standing up to Akira when he said he would join. Every time he screwed up, Keisuke has beat himself up more than anything Akira has done (not speaking to him, glaring, etc.) which is why he appears as pathetic as he does.

Akira was pissed off that Keisuke was trying to act like he was okay with him killing a person. Because he didn't want Keisuke to change, but there he was bending his morals for Akira's sake. So he does the worst thing possible and goes off on him. Akira had never done that to Keisuke before, so what is there for Keisuke to think? That Akira hates him now? For trying to act like Akira was cool?

So it's really going like this:
"Keisuke is changing for the worst because of me. I have to stop that."
"Akira must really hate me now. I have to change."

Shiki is still your average fangirl bait.
so boring.
To me, Shiki is probably the most boring person in the series lol. It is only the badass character design that makes me not hate him, xD

Why do people lick so much in this anime? Seriously, they're gonna contract some sort of disease at this rate like Akira's killer blood. On a more important note, I find Gunji and Kiriwar's interactions absolutely delightful! <33

And while it pains me to have these opinions not really, I'm really looking forward to what's going to happen to Keisuke. I'm sure I'm gonna squee~


Also, I feel like Arbitro's hair spreads wider out each time I see him.

And if he is so very aware of his own weakness why did he still join? He knew he'd be a bother bor Akira, but still joined. That is exactly why he deserves what he got. If he's aware, then he should understand why Akira got mad...

Okay I really get tired of hearing Akira's name come out of Keisuke's mouth... and apologizing so damn much, he needed to get yelled at. If he wanted to stay by Akira's side all he had to do was stay. Granted he's weak so really there was no point to it except the love interest. So why did he join Igura?? So he could go home with Akira wow really dumb reason. He's just getting him self in something he shouldn't have and didn't really think of the consequences. So the argument needed to happen now let's see what stupid thing he does next?? What is he gonna have to be rescued from now?? Nothing against Keisuke really but he needs to think for him self for once. I agree the graphics looked a little distorted this ep. but they aren't as bad as the first. Come on glowing blood Really?? Out of all that I did like the episode I just needed to get that off my chest. *__* kk feel better now

So last week's decent quality was just a fluke since we're back to the usual lack of frames and bad QCing, meh. Keisuke's such a lovesick little boy for his age, so getting told off like that was a natural development though it looks like Akira may be eating those words next week. I never quite got the whole 'lick your weapon to look menacing' routine. It works at times but when small fry do it it just looks silly lol.

Don't think Akira minds saving Keisuke's unheroic ass. He was just a little pissed, because truly, Keisuke is an extreme pushover. He doesn't mind anything Akira does. Not even if he kills someone. This bothered Akira as it makes him seem like a cold blooded murderer. He basically wants Keisuke to think on his own on matters which may be good or bad.

*He he*..you are right, but for some reason like the whole licking business.

GunziXKiriwar❤❤
They should have continued the scene after Arbitro loosened his tie ;D
Only the action scenes where well animated except that it has returned to its native quality......its sad how sexy Gunzi does not look sexy anymore.
Berserk Keisuke coming very soon *yay*
Aww...no AkiraXShiki this episode.

Well I liked the fight, first tag Akira won, right? ^^ It was really weird to see that other guy likking the blood of Akira but yeah.. xd

Loved the "neko" thing it's so.. teehee xd and wow that guy with the mask and the blond hair has a whole room full with "pets"? That's just so wrong, poor "dog", I hope they'll free him somewhere in the anime :(

Akira was harsh on Keisuke but I think it's his way of letting him know he doesn't want him to kill people and that he actually cares about him? I mean Seiji (or what is his name again?) isn't much nicer towards Shuichi right? :P

Looking forward to next week ^^

Damn censors!! I wanted to see what was REALLY going on in Aribito's bedroom. I love Aribito and Kau. They're just so...kinky!!
Keisuke is working my nerves. He's an annoying person that keeps forcing himself to be in Akira's presence even though Akira's indifference is painfully obvious!!

Can we stop the fights for just a bit and bring on some yaoi lovin'? I'm just sayin'...

Ahhhw, Keisuke >___<
I can understand Akira, but i can understand Keisuke as well. He's only thinking about Akira, that he's alive and survive this game - well, a love sick dog, that's Keisuke. I think its cute - sometimes annoying, but i can't dislike him for that. At least, he is the only one who is the hole time at Akiras side. And we know all, Akira isn't a easy person to handle.

I know what's following, and i don't like it.
I think, the innoncent, naive Keisuke is better than... the following one. *nod*

Gunji was the best at this episode, i love him <3
"Kitty~"

Keisuke needs to stop acting like some little puppy! He is so annoying! All he does is fuss over Akira... every other word out his mouth is Akira, he said his name 12 times this episode. It'd be one thing if he was useful, like he could fight, well we don't know if he can or not but I don't know his character type just rubs me the wrong way. To be so focused on another person is just sad and pathetic. I'm glad Akira told him off, maybe now he'll act like he has some sense and stop playing around, Igura is not a laughing matter.

Thank god Keisuke got told off already. "I get annoyed every time i look at you" is the perfect words for me too.

At least the fight scene kept me awake and there was emotion although this show still hasn't made me care about the characters.

I think you all should chill on the fighting scene. Whether it was too harsh, or whether it was really needed, all in all the scene was essential for plot development. So all you people who are crying that Keisuke doesn't deserve how Akira is treating him, relax and remind yourself that without Akira's harsh words, this series would fall.


Oh, and DAYUM. Did Akira's blood kill that guy? Because right before he died, the creep licked the knife covered in Akira's blood. This is getting exciting :)

This show gets worse every episode. The plot drags (we're on, what, day two since Akira joined Igura?), there is no consistency in art/animation/lighting (the only consistency, actually, is the radioactive blood) and the crazy scene angles are giving me a headache.

Glowing guy is glowing.

Apparently Akira is made of butter this episode cus that knife sliced into him pretty damn easily.

Keisuke continues to be The Most Annoying Character of the Year (including Orihime/Yuki, who at least has some kind of power). I gotta hand it to Akira for not going postal on his ass (harhar) since it seems they've known each other for years and Keisuke still says "Akira!" at least once minimum per sentence. If my friend was a whiny, clingy, useless shit like that then I'd have dropped him/her long ago.

Somebody please tell me this gets better or there's at least something to look forward to.

Was he living in lala land or something, how could he not no the risks of the fight...
It's painfully obvious how much he likes Akira... but he should really open his eyes.

The fight scene with Akira and Keisuke was emotional.. :( Poor Keisuke, but you can tell Akira still cares for him. Well I can't wait to see what happens next :D

Anyways, next episode looks like that random blue haired guy again and a whole lot more of that drug. Wonder if that glowing guy from the beginning will be back?
